MARCH, APRIL AND MAY
Is the Season for Catarrhal Dyspepsia
The Blood Must be Cleansed,

The symptoms Of catarrhal dys.
pepsia are: Coated tongue, pain
or heavy feeling in the stomach,
sour stomach, bslching of gas, dizzy
head, sometimes headache, de-
spondent feelings, loss of appetite,
palpitation of heart and irregularity
of the bowels.
For this condition Pe-ru-na is
found to be an admirable remedy.
In all cases it brings prompt relief to
the painful symptoms, and in a large
per cent of the cases it makes a
permanent cure. Pe-ru-na soothes
the infiamed mucus surface, and
thus strikes at the root Of the disease.
In cases where the inflammation has
been so severe and continued as te
produce extreme irritability Of ths
stomach the remedy may be taker
in small doses at first, diluted il
water; but, as soon as the improve
ment is sufficient to permit a full
dose to be taken undiluted, it is
better way, and the cure is mucl
more rapid. Pe-ru-na is also
spring medicine which at once re
moves the cause of all affection
peculiar to the spring season b.
purifying the blood of all contami
nations and invigorating the Who'll
system.
Two valuable books - Famil
Physician No. 2, setting forth in de
tail the treatment of catarrh, coughs
colds, sore throat, bronchitis an
consumption in every phase Of th
disease, and Family Physician Nc
8, on spring remedies and disease

On To Washington.
THE COMMONWEAL ARMY STARTS
FOR THE CAPITAL,
Ii is Led by j.. =. Coxey-Miii Reach
Washington About May 1.

MAssILLoN, o., March 24.-The
march of the"Commonweal Army"
to the National Capital will begin to-
morrow at precisely half an hour
afternoon. This is the declaration
made to-day by the originator and
leader of this extraordinary pilgrim
age and seconded and confirmed by
Carl Browne of California, his chief
lieutenant.
According to present indications
the army will be rather small in
numbers when it starts out, but new
recruits, not merely singIy or in
pairs, but by scores and hundreds,
are expected by the leaders to join
the main line at every stopping
place, and Commander Coxey is
sanguine that when he reaches the
National Capital he will be at the
head of a hundred thousand Ameri-
can citizens. His son will ride al
the head Of the army, wearing q
combination suit of blue and gray
and carrying the emblem of the
Commonweai, a white fago peace,
Mr.. Coxey himself will follow in
carriage drawn by six white horses
while Lieutenant Browne will b.
astride a noble stallion.
The object of the pilgrimage i
already well known. On the arriva
Of the army at Washington it is in
tended to round Up before the CAPT
toll and demand the enactment o
two bills. One of these authorize
the Secretary of the Treasury t
issue $500, 600, 600 of Treasur.
notes, to be expended in the i'm
l provement of tbs country roads Q
the country, and the second author
ICES municipalities to issue noninter
) est bearing bonds and to secur
} notes thereon.
On its way to Washington tn
army is expected to be fed by tn
voluntary contributions of symps
9 thizers along the route, and an az
peal has been issued to farmers
capitalits and laboring men to brin
i, forth literally from their larders t
the end that the strangers with
their gates may not be permitted t
:: go hungry.
The first stop, tomorrow evening
: will be at Reedurban, in this State
< four miles distant, where two houl
will be devoted to refreshment an
organization. Canton will be reach
ed at 8 O'Clock, and here meeting
lasting until midnight will be bel
y on the main street. The march wi
J, be resumed in the morning to Louis
=, vile, O., where meetings will b
8 held on Monday night. Washing
ton is to be reached May 1. Th
authorities of Canton have sworn i
/ an extra squad of police in case th
demonstration should take an oil
jectionable turn, and many othe
towns which the army is to pas
o through have followed suit.
There are about 90 newspape
: correspondents here, and the arm
q is less numerous at this writing.

Petition i'm Boots.

Gen. Coxey, who is trying to raise
an army of unemployed to march to
Washington is a man whom very few
ever heard of till Secretary Carlisle
made known the intention ofissuing
the last edition of bonds. He urges
that a bill be presented authorizing
the issue of $500, 0OO, 900 in legal
tender notes to be expended at the
rate of $40, 600, 900 per month in the
construction of public roads, CIV
ing employment to the unemployed
of this country at $1.50 per day of 8
hours. In lieu of a, petition con-
tanning the signatures of these men he
proposes to present, as he says "a
petition with boots on" That there
ara enough deserving, respectable
unemployed men at the present time
in this country to make a larger
army no one will attempt to gainsay,
but the probabilities are very strong
that a great many worthless ,indolent
fellows who never work anyhow will
constitute the major portion of his
army. That he can raise an army
of many thousands, provided he puts
forth the effort, there is little doubt,
but is there not great danger in as
sembling this vast number of half
starved, lily clad people, for among
them there is sure to be many VIC
ious ones who would use their in
fuence to get their comrades to do
unlawful things relying on their
numerical strength in eseapingpun-
ishment. In case this should hap
pen the just and unjust viii be GEN.

THE Kansas City Times editor
tally says: The Missouri Populists
held a convention in Kansas City
yesterday and nominated a ticket
for state offices. Owing to the pre-
occupied stale of the Kansas City
political field just now with munich
pal candidates the Populists did
not receive a large share of attention
in their meeting. In fact, many
persons did not know of their pres
ence except through the papers.
The Missouri Populists, what there
are of them, are seemingly Of aquiet
and i~noffensive nature, in which re-
spect they differ materially and
gratefully from their leather -lunged
compatriots in Kansas.

!. When business commences to

emit. When business commences to
revive it will not be through any
settlement of the tariff question only.
to settle the tariff defin-
itely, and thereby remove one OBJ.
to returning prosperity,
will be wise.
A little financial history will clear
away the obscurity surrounding the
origin OF the difficulty. The years
since 1884 have been fairly prosper
GUS. Enterprise has been extended
in all directions. Immense expanses
OF new territory have been brought
under cultivation, particularly in
South America and Australia. No
decade has equalled it for investments
and enterprises of a speculative ma
ture, depending on future develop
ment for returns. This country did
not have the fever of over expansion
as severely as the ones above men,
toned. Foreign capital had been
largely diverted to them and we were
left more to our own resources, and
while we have developed new terri
tory rapidly, it has not been overdone
to such an extent as in the other coun-
tries. With them credits had been
stretched to the utmost. Over-cap-
italization soon became apparent in
everything, and confidence was
changed to dlstrust when returns,
long expected refused to materiallze.
Obligations became due and found
nothing to meet them. Then came
a scramble to get from under. This
started first in Argentina, in 1892.
Millions of money were swept away
in a few months. This was the
property of British and German cap
~italists mostly, and it was this that
caused the downfall of the great
banking house of the Earrings. Fol-
lowing this came the collapse in
Australia. The whole banking sys-
tenn of that continent shriveled to
nothing in a few weeks. 1t was a
tornado that swept Argentina, but a
cyclone and earthquake that struck
Australia. Between $500, 900 900
and $4OO, 600, 900 vanished in four
weeks. This was again the money
of British investors. With all this
money gone, and the two countries
collapsed, there was but one source
to which the crippled Britons could
turn for the ready cash which they
were in such great need of, and that
was the United States. So they
promptly commenced to unload
American securities. This resulted
> in the enormous drain Of gold in the
early months of 1898. This export
. of the yellow metal combined with
7 other unfavorable conditions pro
duced a state of feeling in this coun'
try which made a stampede inevita
BILE at the first opportunity. This
was precipitated when "Nationa
Cordage" broke. In a week W.
were in the midst of the worst panic
j of the century.
Now, the cause have been work
i ing up through a decade is anybody
: credulous enough to believe that thu
remedy lies in an act of Congressi
All legislation can do is to remove
obstacles; the remedy rests with
every individual, firm and corpora

g try. Let it be borne in mind tina
