after bearing of this declaration from the
White House, drew out, and said that Mr..
Martin might handle the patronage Jerry
simpson announced that he wosld have
nothing to do with the Offices The other
populist congressman lost interest in the
chase. Mr.. Martin is left with the whole
Job on his hands and goes about like a
man distracted. To add to his anxiety
the Kansas Democrats who have parted
company with the populists have chal-
lenged the senator's proposed policy of
distributing offices TO populists IN populist
strongholds and will fight his recon-
mendatlons. The issue has come Oh the

ADA REHAN IN SIi YER

CHICAGO, March 1S.-The largest silver

Justice was an accomplished fact. The
total cost of the statue. it is stated, is s7o,-

The features are hers also, though the ex-
preston has been made rather more severe

In order TO carry out the idea of Justice.
The height OF the statue is feet 10 inches
and it will stand upon pedestal two feet
in diameter. The scales to be held ia one
hand and the sword which will be grasped
in the other will be separately cast, but
every part of the statue will be OF sterling
silver. The metal comes from Montana,
every ounce having been extracted FROM

The INDIAN COMMISSION.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-The president
and the secretary of the interior are al
ready moving in the matter of the Indian
Territory commission. On the last day of
congress provision was made for COM
mission to visit the Territory for the pur-
pose Of negotiating with the five civilized
nations. The idea is to have these Indians
dissolve the tribal relations, accept land
in severalty, become American citizens and
receive Il territorial form of government
with a view to early statehood. 1t is prac-
tically settled that ex-senator Dawes OF
Massachusetts shall be chairman Of the
commission. Senator Dawes has been a
lifelong friend of the Indians and has
their confidence. He was for many years
chairman Of the committee on Indian af
fairs. II is among the probabilities that
ex Representative Peel of Arkansas, late
chairman of the Indian committee IN the
house, will be another member of the COM
mission. The information which reaches
the interior department is that sentiment
among the CherOkees, Choctaws, Chicka-
saws, Creeks and Seminoles is rapidly
forming in favor Of a break up of the tribal
SVSLenl.

THE IDEs OP MARCH
Bring Bad 0mens of Disease and Derange-
men,s to Many People.
Spring Diseases Foretold.

Almost every one has come to believe
that March. April and May is a season
that brings arrangements of the body de-
pendent on blood impurities. This belief
is An old one. is nearly universal, and has
arisen, not AS the result of the teachings
of the medical fraternity, but has been
learned in the bitter school OF experience.
II is certain that the medical profession
has hot given the subject the attention
that it deserves, aud, rs consequences,
great many mistaken notions prevail as to
the canse of t.,ese blood impurities. Tue
trnth is that there are at least three dis
tinct sources of the blood impurities Pc
cnliar to spring.
First, catarrhal concessions of the or
gans of digestion, i. e., stomach. bowels,
kidneys and liver Catarrh of these organs
may result from the inclement weather OF
winter or from chronic catarrh OF the head
or throat In either case it results in dis
turbed digestion, dyspepsia. bilionsness,
constipation or irregular movements CT the
bowels. which renders the blood impure.
That Pe-ru-na is specific for catarrh of
these organs is too we'll known 10 require
argument, aud this is one OF the reasons
why Pe-rn-na is so popular as a spring
medicine.
Second, depression of the nervous system
at the approach of spring is another fertile
source of blood impurities General lassi-
tired feelings, with irregular appetite, and
sometimes loss of sleep. Here. again. Pc
ma meets every Indication and proves
itself 10 be perfectly adapted to all their
varied peculiarities. Pe-ru-na invigorates
the system, rejuvenates the feelings, re-
stores the normal appetite and procLres
regular sleep.
The third source OF blood impurities
arises from the accumulation of effete
material in the blood during the winter.
Thus it is that in the spring the blood be-
comes thick. impure, circulates sluggishly.
produces pimples, ernptions and rough
ness of the skin all of which quickly dis
appears by the use of Pe-ru-na. 1t quick
ems the tagging circulation. it expurgates
from the blood the effete material and en-
riches the blood with the life-giving
oxygen.
The Family Physician, No. 8, is valu-
able treatise on spring diseases and their
cure. It should be in the hands of every
person who needs a spring medicine OF any
sort. 1t gives the cause, symptoms and
cure of all diseases peculiar TO spring. 1t
