A COLD LEADS
It's Victim Direct to Consumption.

There are three roads which lead
from health to consumption. Over
one of these roods pass all of that
great multitude of people who die
every year of consumption. Each
route begins with health and hap
piness and ends with disease and
death. They are described as follows:
1st road, slight cold-neglected-
settles in the head and throat-chronic
atarrh-extends to the lungs
consumption-death. I'd road, a
slight cold-neglected- growing worse
mption-death. Sd road, a
cold-neglected-se in the throat
-hoarseness short breath-consump-
tion-death.
Thousands have just started on one
of these roads, all of whom could be
easily cured by Pe-ru-na thousands
more are half way to the fatal end of
one of these roads who are still cur
able by course of treatment with
Pe-ru-na, and yet other thousands are
nera the end whose last days would be
made more bearable and hope of
recovery more probable by commenc-
ing Pe-ru-na without delay.
Send to the Pe-ru-na Drug Man
ufacturing Company of Columbus, o.,

ton, the Illustrated Ills of Life,

chronic diseases of the lungs.

AS far as we can learn no school has
averaged less than penny per pupil,
except one, the last in the list, and
some have averaged as high as three
cents each.
There will be very few counties in
the state with a better record. There
have, as will be seen, been reports
from eighteen or twenty school dis
tricts leaving yet at least one hundred
to hear from.
Teachers of the rural schools see to
it that your pupils are not left out,

BLUE EARTH co. SCHOOL FUND.

The contributions from the school
children of this county are coming
slowly, and though this county is far
ahead of any other in the number and
amounts of contributions, there are
still few teachers from whom the
chairman of the fund would like to
hear. And it is to be hoped that
those teachers who have not yet re-
sponded to the call will do so at once.
The list stands mp to date as fol-

MAY LEAVE THE FAIR.
Theodore Thomas Inclined to Resfrs
as Musical Director.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO.
Aug. A-Theodore Thomas is IN the mood
TO resign his position OF musical director az
the exposition and there are potent snfu-
ences at work to bring about his resignaS
ton. 1t is said that the orchestra lea ier
has asked the committee on liberal lrts
which has charge of the exposition music.
to relieve him for several reasons. but kr
Thomas win not say IL he has resigned.
The committee on liberal arts Is composed
OF Mr.. Thomas stanch friends, who win
not allow him to sever his connection with
the fair without fight.
The old trouble about the musical direc@
tors preferences In the piano lire and the
consequent clash with Director General
Davis has much TO do with aggravattng the
Mr.. Thomas chief complaint is thai
vouchers for his increased salary are held
in the Office OF Col. Davis and President
on the ground that Mr.. Thomas salary IL
an extravagant one and the original salary
OF 5000 a year agreed upon between the
directory and the leader is enough. con-
sidering that the bureau OF music has been
an Improbable and costly luxury.
Mr.. Thomas has taken the criticism OF
much TO heart The economic business men
on the directory want 10 dispense with the
services of Mr.. Thomas or split up the
orchestra. having the musicians play In
different parts Of the park, but the con-
ductor would not listen TO this scheme. The
orchestra is his reation and the musicians
would follow him out OF the fair grounds
IL he should resign TO seek fields more lucra-
tive and where he would be appreciated
more.
The visitors evidently do not want TO see
Mr.. Thomas or the Chicago orchestra leave
the fair, for the harsher or more exten-
sive the criticism the larger Is the attend
ance at the popular orchestral concerts.
But the objection Of the directors is that
while the orchestra always has a big
dience and the concerts are an artistic
success they do not alone bring people %
the fair In any appreciable numbers

City Post Office Contracts.

Mr.. Kemper. acting supervising architect
Of the treasury, Informed a Star reporter
today. In response to an inquiry on the
subject, that no action will be taken until
Architect O'Rourke returns to the city, In
the matter of the contract for the steel and
iron work of the basement and first story Of
the Washington post Office building. There
Is not much doubt, however, that the con-
tract will be awarded to Mr.. John Pierce Of
New York at his bid of $57, 100. His was the
lowest bid received by the Treasury Depart
ment, and was 5000 less than the next low
est bid and nearly S. 900 less than the bid of
c. A. Schneider & Sons, the only local firm
that put In a bid. What makes Mr.. Pierce's
chances good for the contract is the fact
that he Is already under contract with the
Treasury Department for the stone and
brick work of the building at a cost of about
$500 900. This would seem to establish his
standing and his competency to perform the
less expensive work. Architect ORourke,
who is now in Chicago will return to wash
ington next week and the iron and steel
contract will be ready for his action.
