FAVORABLE REPORT
On Bill to Amend Postal Laws Regard ing Second-Cla Mail Matter.

Washington, January 4.-Chairman Loud, of the house postoffice committee, today submitted, as directed by the committee favorable report on his bill to amend the postal laws relating to second class mail matter. A similar bill passed the house in 1897, but failed in the senate. It provides that books or prints of books in serial form shall pay one cent for two ounces, instead of one cent per pound; publications of in- stitutions' of learning are placed on the same footing as other periodicals, instead of being privileged. The report submitted with the former bills is made to apply to this one.

ducted an extensive practice of medi.
 cine. Few Cf any) physicians prescribe
 for so many patients. His experience
 in climatic diseases has been simply
 prodigious. Thousands of patients are
 continually under his directions, either
 personally or by correspondence. The
 Doctors fame in treating la grippe is
 known from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
 The Doctor believes that he has never
 yet lost a case of Ia grippe, and is en-
 thusiastic in the conviction that he never will.
 The remedy upon which the Doctor has relied for the cure Qf la grippe for over forty years is Pe-rn-na. Pe-ru-na is scientific catarrh specific. It cures catarrh whether acute or chronic. La grippe is simply acute cstarrh, which sometimes rages az an epidemic. AL most everybody knows that Pe-ru-na will cure acute oatarrh. But not many know that Ia grippe is simply acute catarrh. If they did they would use Fortuna with the same surety of A cure as in any other case of acute ca- tarrh.
 But the people are quick to learn. Al. ready the news is rapidly spreading that Fortuna is prompt and unfailing rem edy for la grippe. The demand for Pc. ru-na North, South, East and West is taxing the utmost facilities of the drug trade. The present epidemic of la grippe will increase this demand feur-fold. The resources for the manufacture of Peru na are not unlimited. This extraordi. nary demand may exceed the possible supply of it.
 Every person, especially every family, should provide themselves at once with a supply of this well-tested remedy for la grippe. Fortuna has been the regu- lar prescription of pr. Hartman for over forty years. It has become the safe- guard of thousands of households. In the midst of this epidemic no one should fail to take dose of Pe-ru-na before each meal to guard against the possibil- ity of an attack. Those stricken with the disease should begin with teaspoon ful doses of Pe-ru-na every hour, and continue until the acute symptoms sub- tide, after which two teaspoonfuls be- ore meals and between meeaj will be to continue the treatment until complete recovery.

ATTORNEY GENERAL CAMPBELL
is of the opinion that the state of
Colorado, through Governor
Thomas, as trustee for the people,
ought to begin working some of
the supposed gold mines that ex-
list on the mineral lands that have
come into the possession of the
state board to be used for the bene-
fit of the school fund. He thinks.
says the Rocky Mountain News,
that the convicts at Canon City
should be put to work digging out
the gold that the school fund is
said to possess in the Cripple
Greek district, and in this way
solve the revenue problems of the
state once for all. The general
sent a letter to Governor Thomas
yesterday in which he outlined his
plan, suggesting that his excellency
at once undertake the leasing of
this property from the land board
and employ the charges of Warden
Hoyt to do the work. The four
main clauses of the letter are as
follows:
have examined carefully the
work at the state penitentary and
the ability of the warden with his
convicts to carry out tho plan. /
am now satisfied that Hoyt can do
it very successfully.
Second-It is que ton under
the law if you can execute the
plans under your power as gov
ernor, but believe you can.
Third-The state land board, of
which you are chairman, has
very valuable and rich holdings of
gold property in the Cripple Greek
district, and has the power to lease
the best property, in fact, all of it,
if they think best, to you as gov
ernor in trust for the people of the
state of Colorado, for period of
fifty years at 10 per cent royalty,
to extract gold, silver, etc, and
cause it to be refined and stamped
as money, subject to an appropria-
ton of the same made by the leg
islature.
neutrality-suspicious. in the dis
trict has shown that 600 to 1000
feet in depth will reach the rich
gold strata, and under your direc-
ton Warden Hoyt can detail fifty
or one hundred mon to do the
sinking for the gold deposit at
very slight cost to the state.
