81 RECOMMEND PERUNA
..To All Catarrh Sufferers" Says Editor
w. r. Powell, of Darlington, Ohio.

w. r. Powell, editor of the Indepen
dent of Darlington, Ohio, writes that he
was taken sick with bronchitis anC
catarrhal fever, head was in a terrible
condition, lungs were badly affected
being so tight and sore he could hardly
breathe, and coughed almost necessarily
For two months tried local physicians,
took cough emdicines and other medi-
cines. Took three bottles of Pe-ru-na
and was entirely cured.
The tendency of catarrh of the head is
to pass downwards through the bronchial
tubes to the lungs. Any one who has
had catarrh of the head a year or more
find the disease gradually progressing
In some cases the progress
is rapid. and in other cases it is slow;
Int. sooner or later, if catarrh is allowed
to run, it will go to the lungs and set up
the disease known as consumption. 1t is
doubtful if consumption is ever caused
by anything except catarrh.
1t is needless to attempt to give only
the yaguest outline of the wonderful
success which Pe-ru-na has met with in
The cure of eatarrh. This success is en-
tirely due to the fact that Pe-ru-na
,radicates the disease from the system,
instead of temporarily relieving some dis
agreeable symptom. Not only is catarrh
n all stages and varieties cured promptly,
but also colds, coughs, bronchitis, la
grippe, catarrhal dyspepsia, all yield,
surely and permanently, to the curative
yirtues of Pe-ru-na. .

now, as Americans, must legislate FOL
ourselves.
Beware of entangling alliances in this
os in other matters. and especially OF al
lnremcnts TO international conferences to
delay action i'm our own behalf in the de
lusiye hope that other countries Will care
for our interests better than We can our
selves. No other country has ever asked
our approval of financial policy.
"It is believed that the United States
has power enough in the commercial
world to alone restore the INK between
gold and silver, broken in 1873, but should
pold. for any reason, temporarily go to
n nremium, il will none the less operate on
nrices generally and certainly premium
on gold here would create ike ran III
the gold price of countries and result on
every side to the advantage of the United
States.
"Fellow citizens, the power is still in
your hands to right by the ballot the
great wrong of 1873 and to save your
selves and your children from the thral-
dom which the gold standard poIcy, IL
nersisted in, will surely bring upon them.
We pray you, therefore, not to delay tne
settlement of this question. Settle TINS
now. and settle it forever, and we es-
mecally urge upon you the importance
of immediate organization in townships
and counties throughout the entire coun
FRY for the purpose of carrying on thls
great movement for the common good Oh

COTTON MILLS FOR AUSTIN.

CDIION MlLlSo rOI| hO''it~'
For some time our board of trade ha'
been in correspondence with different
persons in New England with a view of in
lteresting some of them here. The follow
letters to Mr.. Lebold and Major Evans
from one of these parties are self ex'
planatory and deserve special considera'
ton. for they come from q man of very
high standing and who is our special
| friend
Austin must wake up and spend some
money in securing some of these mills
that are now locating in the South. 1t is
very oppOrtune time for us to make Aus
tin leading and very prosperous city.

/ went to n friend of mine who is treas
urer of a company which manufacturers

him to interest himself in your project if
YOU will shape things for him at your end.
| find that the coal will cost less than
81 per ton. The town gave the companies
200 acres of land for the plant. Now they
would want part of the stock taken in

which would induce capital to invest
and to do this rightly, you should have

ing the number of spindes you propose to
put in, the land you will give, or lease

luired for the enterprise. l can not get
Mr.. Greene to go to Austin on this trip,
but you can get together the main facts
and if you really mean business, he will
take hold of it. Your water power re-
luires money and energy to make the
value you have bring return. You
must do this yourself, no one will volun-
teer to build up your city until you prove
yourselves equal to the occasion. l
think you should have some one take
this up who will have the ability and
capital back of it to bring Mr.. Greene

will find the cost per spindle about $50,
