ROBERTS PURSE
Was Not Opened When the Republi-
can Committee Called Upon Him.

Mayor Cassidy is bound TO have hard row
10 hoe before he succeeds himbelf as mayer OF
Canton. He cannot defeat any good Democrat
that is put up, but all his danger does not lie
in that direction. IL Is quite probable that his
own party will slay his political ambition. As
the contest warns up II is observed with sur.
prise In some quarters that nearly IL not quite
all the prominent Republicans in town arc
against Cassidy. Charley Upham stands al
most alone in his unbiased, unAinching not to
say picturesque support Of the man Of high
moral ideas who now carries the key to the
safe in the mayors office.
There is a cause for all this. 1t is limited
that there are several causes but
one that is prominent is being
used with force against his candidacy. 1t is
openly charged that though Cassidy has made
a pile Of money out Of fines and another big
pile out of licenses granted to fakirs Of every
kind and description, to the detriment Of the
business interests of this city, he has never
contributed to the Republican campaign fund.
When hard pushed during his first campaign
it is said that he contributed 500 to elect him.
self. Since his election he has been approached
a number of times to assist the party but IL Is
reported that in every instance he has only
drawn his purse strings tighter and refused tc
assist other Republicans to office. This fact is
being used against him since 1t is being urged
that he paid little attention to committees who
called upon him and even went 30 far as to tel
themsthat he owed the Republicans nothing
as he was elected by Democrats. The friends
of Grant and Dougherty are using this condi
ton Of affairs to good advantage.

gesting that the government at once

Washington has been presented TO
President Dole and the executive coun.
Gil by the American league The petit
ton is a strong one and makes several
telling points 1t sets forth that since
the question of the islands was in con
gress before, many fresh facts have come
to light and many members of the sen
ate and house have changed their minds
upon the subject. In every instance
the alteration of view has been from
hostility to friendliness for Hawaii
Even the administration now has able
and justifiable grounds for treating the
matter differently and is now in posses
sion of reliable data. In 1893 1t acted
upon misinformation.
The petition further states that the
sending of another commission will
force the treatment of the issue strictly
upon its merits. Prejudice has been
largely removed and partisanship elm
mated to greater degree than ever
The appearance of second commits

DR.. Hartman's Free Home Treatment
For Chronic Catar1h Announced In
All the heading Papers.

The first day of November, 1893, DR.. Hart
man gave his consent TO take charge of the
treatment or 10000 cases of chronic catarrh
free of charge. This announcement was at
once published in all the leading papers, when
the applications came pouring in from nearly
every state in the Union until something over
10000 names were on his books as regular
patients. The most of these patients have been
discharged cured Beginning with the first
day of January, 1895, the Doctor hasconcluded
TO supervise the treatment of 10, 900 more cases
Of chronic catarrh. With a large number of
clerks and stenographers to assist him, the
Doctor actually directs the treatment Of each
case by correspondence, which costs the patient
nothing except the necessary medicines, which
are obtained at the nearest drug store. To be-
come patient IL Is only necessary to send
anne and address and describe symptoms,
when directions as TO diet, sanitary regulations
and other advice will be sent promptly. Pa
tients are allowed to report progress as often as
they please, butare expected to do 50 at least
in one month from beginning treatment,
The medicine which constitutes the princi-
pal part of Dr. Hartman's treatment for chronic
catarrh is Pe-ru.na. II can be obtained at any
drug store, and is also a remedy without equal
for coughs, colds, bronchitis, la grippe con-
sumption, and all climatic diseases of winter
Pe-ru-na has cured more cases Of chronic
Catarrh than all other remedies combined The
great majority of those who use 1t buy the
remedy themselves, use it according TO direc-
tions, not even reporting their case to DIR.
Hartman until after they are entirely cured.
But now that a limited number of cases can Sc
cure the personal attention of DIR. Hartman
free of charge it is not to be wondered at II
many will perfer to do so.
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company
are sending free to any address book on
chroHic catarTh which gives the latest treat
ment for catarrh, coughs, colds, la grippe,
bronchitis, and all other affections Of head,
throat and lungs.
