SYSTEMIC CATARRH,
A Disease Very Common in Early
Spring Time.

Spring Time.
Catarrh of any organ produces slight
DISCHARGES of mucus. This produces a
weakening drain to the system. During
the winter months the facilitating eff
fects of such drain may not be noticed.
AS soon as spring comes, however, such
q discharge, even though 1t be slight, is
felt at once, by producing languor and
weakness. This condition is known as
systemic catarrh. The only cure Is to
remove the cause. The cause is chronic
catarrh. >Pe-ru-na cures catarrh Wher-
ever located.
Marian Kooke, manager of the extern
slve millinery establishment of T. M.

DIR. Hartman, Columbus, O.:
Dear Sir-Whenever I have been over
worked and weary with the cares Of my
business and found no time for the need
ed rest, I have invariably taken Peru
ma. 1t acts as an invigorator on my. en-
tire system, restores my strength, and

its cost. Yours truly,

"Pe-ru-na as a family remedy is un-
equaled. A great many of the little dis
agreeable ailments that attack us I'M

EX-Gov. Thomas C. Fletcher has been a
notable figure in the political life of the
Southwest, having had the distinction of
being the first abolition governor of g.
former slave state. He was born seventy
two years ago, at Herculaneum, in jeff
erson county, Missouri. His father was a
merchant, with a goodly number of
slaves, but Notwithstanding his slave sur
roundings young Fletcher became
staunch abolitionIst. 1t is told Of him
that as a youth he had the audacity to
appear at meetings where every one was
supporter of slave doctrines and make
abolition speeches. This audacity made
him friends, and he was first appointed
clerk Of Jefferson county, and afterward
elected for six years as county clerk. Be
fore his term expired he removed to st.
Louis, and began the practice Of law. At
the outbreak of the war he enlisted with
the Union forces, and served with dist1nc
ton throughout the war. His army serv-
ice and his personal popularity combined
to secure for him the honor of being the
first governor Of Missouri following the
war. He was inaugurated in 1865 and
served until 1869, covering that eYentful
period of reconstruction Intense ami
mosities existed and at times Gov. Fletch-
er's friends feared for his life. But he
went unguarded and his courage carried
him through unframed. He was ineligible
for reelection in 1863 and retired to priv
ate life. resuming the practice of law. He
was connected in legal way with the
Southwestern branch Of the Pacific rail-
way and this led him to divide his time
between st. Louis and Washington, until
about ten years ago, when he established
his home here. Since then he has prac-
ticed before the court Of claimants and
in the departments and has attended to
his railroad business. He leaves a widow,
one son and one daughter.

! Addition to Clearing House Members
Upsets Accurate Calculations.
NEW YORK, March 25-The Financier
says:
The changes in the totals of the New
York bank statement for the current
week are meaningless. judged In the ordi-
nary sense, for the reason that the totals
include the Aston National, new clear
ing house member, and the Hudson River
and Aston Place banks, which, as
branches Of the Corn Exchange banks,
are now cleared through the parent insti-
tuition. The new banks carry average de-
posits Of about IS, 1888, 600 and loans of over
$3.50, 000 and the statement must have
been affected by an amount nearly as
large. although the Corn exchange to-
tails do not indicate the full change. Of
course the new banks carry full re-
serve, so that the position of the remain
Ing banks was not materially altered,
but to get at the real operations of the
clearing house institutions 1t is neces-
sary to deduct at least Sc, 100000 both In
loans and deposits. On this basis the eX-
pansion of S., 900 in loans, as compared
with the previous week, means that there
has been a slight decrease in the actual
discounts of the banks, whose totals have
been heretofore reported The same re-
suit holds good in deposits, for the In
crease of So, 339, 900 does not equal the adj
dition of the Astor National stock of
$4,000 900, to say nothing of the deposits Of
the other two banks.
It will be seen therefore that the de-
post liabilities of the regular clearing
house banks were materially reduced last
week, as were the loans. Reserves ought
to have shown corresponding gain, but
the increase in cash was only 1888, 0OO and
as the deposit expansion called for about
$3.50, 600 additional requirement, the actual
decrease in reserves was s516,750.
Perhaps a more accurate inkling Of the
position of the banks is to say that thir-
teen Of the sixty-three banks are now
below the Is per cent reserve rule, as
against twenty-five for the previous
week. The statement, with the factors
described eliminated, shows that the po-
sition Of the banks has been rather
strengthened The routine operations
with the treasury for the week resulted
in a loss of something like s1,500OO0 to
the banks, but the gain from the interior
served in large part to offset this. The
totals have been Influenced somewhat by
the payments made in completing large
Industrial deal.

BICKEL is LET GO ON BAIL
WHILOM BANKER CAME IN FROM
LAKE FOREST TO ANSWER
INDICTMENT
Bail Was Fixed at $1,000 and Was
Furnished FOrthwith-It Is Said
the Complainant Is Seeking Re-
course by Civil Suit.

William F. Bickel, former president of
the Minnesota Savings bank, appeared in
the district court before Judge Kelly yes
terday and pleaded not guilty to an in
dictment charging him with grand lar
ceny in the second degree. He was re-
leased on $1,000 ball with Patrick Conley
and John N. Kelly as sureties.
Mr.. Bickel read the news of his indict-
ment In The G o b e yesterday morning
and came in from his home at Lake For
est, for arraignment. He was accom-
panied in court by w. H. Mcdonald. his
attorney, by whose advice he waived the
reading of the indictment and requested
that the court fix his bail.
Attorney Mcdonald told the court that
the subject of the Indictment was COM
paratively unimportant. The indictment
charged his client with the larceny of
$254.4S belonging to Joseph F. Cox. The
alleged offense was committed on Jan. H.,
1897. According to Mr.. Mcdonald, Cox
has several times attempted to collect the
sum charged in the warrant. Lately he
said, Cox has begun a civil action to re-
cover the money.
Judge Kelly said he would not go into
the merits of the case, and briefly fixed
the amount of bail at $1,000, which was
Immediately furnished. The case will
come up for hearing at the April term Of
court.
According to the complaint the money
in question was deposited with Bickel
before the closing of the bank, in order
that Cox might secure an attachment
bond in connection with some litigation
in Grow Wing county, in which he was
interested.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The follow
ing cablegram was received at the state
department today from Secretary Of Ie-
cation McNally, of the United States le-
cation at Bogota. Colombia:
Randolph tried yesterday at Madelin.
The jury has returned a verdict OF deilb-
crate homicide
The cablegram is dated March q, and
marks in all probability one Of the most
prolonged efforts ever made to save the
life of an American citizen. Francis Q.
Randolph is of one of the best families In
the South He Is a man Of fine qualities
and obtained the position of judge In
Alabama, but left there. as the official
reports state under cloud" He went
to Colombia, and it was at the little town
of CALI, in that country. that he killed
a man Sept 8, 1895. The man was a re-
putable German merchant, named 81
monds, who was held in high esteem in
the community. The killing grew out Of
a dispute with Simonds over some prop
erty he had sold to Randolph, who was
living under the assumed name of Charles
Radford Randolph admitted the killing
and was thrown into prison. His Ala
bama friends, notably ex-Secretary Her
bert, interested themselves in his behalf.
and induced the state department to en-
ploy attorneys to defend him. Randolph
was transferred from Calf to Medelin on
the ground that he could not obtain a
fair trial at the former place. He was
convicted and sentenced to death, and
then began a protracted legal struggle,
during which United States Minister Nc
Kinney, by direction of Secretary Of State
Olney, managed to appeal the case and
secure a retrial Randolph's defense has
been continued actively by the present
administration, at the urgent solicitation
of ex-Secretary Herbert, but it is believed
that this action of the jury reported by
Secretary McNally marks the end, and
that Randolph must pay the penalty Of
his crime.

LONDON, March "a red letter page
in the history of Africa was turned this
week, when Great Britain and France
came to an agreement in parceling out
the the last portion of Africa still open to
grab The agreement reached dis
poses of hundreds of thousands Of square
miles. leaving only four recognized indie
pendent states throughout the continent
Morocco, Abyssinia, Liberia and the
Orange Free State. The settlement has
given satisfaction in Great Britain, where
it is generally considered very fair for
both parties, and has especial value In
finally averting, as far as diplomatic
documents can, further disputes. More
over, an important feature of the agree
ment, providing equality in the CONNER
cial treatment Of the territory between
Lake Tchad and the Nile, is that it does
not hamper Great Britain in the least, as
her free trade system would have secured
the commercial rights of France, while
the French concession of equal rights i'm
proves the English position. In the face
of French colonial protection this is a
most valuable advantage for Great Brit
ain, which is fully appreciated here.
The reception of the agreement by
Europe is decidedly favorable. The Rus
slams do not seem to care, while the Ger
mans apparently hope for compensation
