A RECENT
With DR.. Hartman, the Renowned
Catarrh Specialist.

newspaper contributor was lately
admitted into the extensive suite OF
Offices which constitute the head
quarters of DIR. Hartman, who treats
catarrh patients by the thousand.
Amid the busy swarm of assistant
doctors, clerks, stenographers and
bookkeepers, DIR. Hartman stopped
long enough to say a few words:
"The number of catarrh patients
who visit me is large, but the number
who r entered on my books as reg
ular patients (but are treated without
charge, by correspondence), is very
much larger. Hundreds of letters are
received and answered free every day.
A yet greater multitude take my
catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na, and are
cured, of whom I never hear. Some
Of this latter class write me years after
their cure. I never allow a name pub
lished except by the written consent
Of the patient. We make no charge
at any time. The medicine only is
obtained by each patient at his own
drug store. Those desiring to become
regular patients have only to send ad-
dress, duration of disease and treat
ment previously received, and direc-
tions for first months treatment will
be sent at once.
"Over half the people have catarrh
in some form or another. And yet
probably not a tenth of the people
know that their disease is catarrh. To
distinguish catarrh Of various organs,
it has been named very differently.
One person has dyspepsia; another
bronchitis; another bright's disease;
another liver complaint; another con-
sumption; another female complaint.
These people would be very much
surprised to hear that they are all suf-
fering with chronic catarrh. But it is
SO, nevertheless. Each one of these
troubles, and a great many more, are
simply catarrh-that is chronic inflam-
nation of the mucous lining of which
ever organ is affected. Any internal
remedy that will eur catarrh in one
location will cure it in any other loca-
ton. This is why Pe-ru-na has be-
come 80 justly famous in the cure of
catarrhal diseases. 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. Its cures remain.
Pe-ru-na does not paliiate; it cures"
A catarrh book is sent free by the
Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com
pany, Columbus, Ohio. This book
contains "a pages of reading matter
and instructive illustrations.

NOT A "GoLD BUG. -

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-President
Cleveland to-day removed John W.
Mason, Postmaster at Mexico, Mo-,
and appointed to succeed him Luke
Morris. This is the outcome of a fight
made on Postmaster Mason because
of his attitude in the campaign. He
was an ardent free silver man and
right after election was made the tar
get of the Wall street Democrats.
Charges were promptly filed against
him and he was accused of activity in
politics, insulting the President, neg
lect of his Office and with breaking up
meetings of the gold bug Democrats.
Prompt action was taken in this case,
because it was alleged that Mason was
particularly obnoxious to patrons OF
the Office. The Presidents action will
not be Endorsed by Senators Vest and
Cockrell, and they will doubtless make
a fight against the confirmation OF
| Gold Bug Morris. Other removals In
Missouri and Kansas are expected, az
| charges have been filed against many
kansas City Times.
MI. Morris is not a "gold bug" He
votes the straight Democratic ticket
He is a dyed-in-the-wool, rocked-in-
the cradle, moss-back Democrat anG

From the st. Louis Republic

Iou
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-The Presi-
dent to-day made the following ap-
pointments and removals OF Postmas-
tiers:
Missouri-LaPlata, J.W. Overstreet,
vice VIM. F. Cole, deceased; Mexico,
tLuke ". Morris, vice John W. Mason,
removed.
The summary action in the Mexico,
Mo-, office is the outcome of numerous
charges which have been on file here
since the political campaign closed.
They include pernicious activity in
politics, insulting the President and
making attacks npon his alleged neg
lect of office and other offenses. He
is a believer in free coinage of silver
and the complaints set out that during
the campaign he made himself obnox-
ious by breaking up gatherings of the
opposite political faith.
The Globe Democrats Washington
City correspondent says "During
the late campaign in Missouri the
town of Mexico was disgraced by q
series of incidents. Bryan Democrats
adopted a systematic our of prose-
cution and boycotting toward the
sound money Democrats. One Of the
most active promoters of this course
was the Postmaster of the place, John
W. Mason, or "Wick'' Mason as he ia
better known. To-day retribution
came in the form of the summary re-
moval of MI. Mason.
In the Charges filed against Mason
numerous instances are given of his
craftsmanship in the campaign. On
one occasion, 1t is stated, when the
sound money Democrats had engaged
the Court House and were holding q
meeting, the free silver Democrats
got out the drum corps and kept it
marching around the public square to
make as much trouble as possible for
the speaker of the meeting inside.
Postmaster Mason was particularly
conspicuous. He stood on the corner
and urged on the drummers to more
vigorous effort to disturb the sound
money orator.
"That's right, boys; make all of the
noise you can," the Postmaster is said
to have shouted.
Mexico was a hotbed of Bryanism.
The threat was made that il Trimble,
the sound money candidate for Gov
ernor, came there he would be rotten
egged. Mr.. Trimble promptly an
nounced that he would open his cam
paign there, and did SO. He was not
molested. Sound money meetings
were interrupted and sound money
merchants were boycotted. Besides
Mr.. Mason's political offending, the
department has for the removal other
reasons, which will be given If Sena-
tors Cockrell and Vest insist upon an
Investigation of the case"

TROUBLE FOR TAUBEXECK.
He VIII Be Deposed if He Opposes
IndOrsing Bryan.

st. Louis Mo-, July 15.-The peoples
party convention, which will be held in the
auditorium next Wednesday, will develop
an interesting struggle between the lead
ers on the question of deposing Chairman
Taubeneck Mr.. Taubeneck has repeated
ly stated that the convention would not
indorse the candidates of any other party,
and that the platform that would be
adopted would be modelled after the Oma-
ha platform, with such notifications as
changing conditions demanded.
AS a result of his opposition to the
wishes of what seems to be a majority
of the party, it is stated that Mr.. Tau
beneck will be defeated for reelection as
chairman, and it is part of the programme
as it stands now to elect a new national
committee man, with new man as its
chairman. In the same boat with Mr..
Taubeneck are Chairman A. Resell of the
state central committee, and ]. H. Nc
DoWell sergeant-at-armS of the national
committee. The latter is candidate for
congress in the Ninth district of Ten
nessee and has been shouting for Teller
all along. Mr. Mcdowell has been count
ing on the support of the republicans, and
if the convention indorses Bryan it will
seriously handicap Mcdowell in his race
for congress.
Sergeant-at-arms Mcdowell announces
the appointment of the following assistant
sergeant-at-arms: Frank e. Ritchie,
first assistant; c. F. Reifsneider and II.
w. Bell all or 81. Louis, EuSene Snltn
of Chicago, first assistant, and L. j. Nc

executive committee of the national com
mittee, first assistant sergeant-at-arms.
other appointments will be made as fast
as possible, but it is not expected that the
list will be completed before the conven-
ton is ready to go in session.
Another thing that complicates the sit
uation for the populists is the sudden
change of front in the ranks of the silver
party When its convention was called
to meet in this city, the date was set the
same as the peoples party convention, in
the belief that they were close together
in their ideas as to what the platform
should be- At present the silver party
seems to be ready to indorse the demo-
cratic platform and nominees and to feel
that its work has been done.
