CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From the Executive Office Of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only alb
solute safeguard known. a cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds. is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

DEBATING THE PEACE TREATY
Spain's Happy Family" Engases in An
other Day of Mutual Recrlminatlons-
A Duel Averted by Rstraction.

Madrid, Feb. 25.-In the chamber of
deputies yesterday the debate upon
the peace treaty was continued. The
minister of finance. Senior Puigcerver,
reproached Senior Silvela, the consery-
ative leader with speaking more like
an American minister than a Spanish
statesman"
Senior Moret Y Prendergast, former
minister of the colonies, also defended
himself against Senior Silvela's attack,
declaring that the destruction of the
United States battleship Maine was
the first cause of the war. He said that
when Gen. Fitzhugh Lee visited the
battleship after the explosion, the lat
ter exclaimed:
''Now / have it,"
''The truth is said Senior Moret,
''tbat the United States wanted war
in order to attain Imperialism, and
Spain was the victim
According to FL Heraldo. at the con-
clusion of the peace treaty debate n
new ministry, formed by Senor Mon
tero Rios, will be constituted, with
the cooperation of Senior Gamazo.
Count de Almenas has withdrawn
the expressions regarding the conduct
of Gen. Linares at Santiago, which the
latter regarded as offensive; and the
proposed duel will not take place.

MADE AN IMPRESSION.
The ''Smart AIeck" Candidate Spoilx
His Chances by Being Too
Foremost.

f'Do you happen to know why the rural
vote went back on him when he ran for
congress?" asked one leading Michigan poll
tician of another.
''Never gave the matter any study"
"Nor did [. just happened to learn few
facts. He went to big meeting of horti-
culturists several years ago; long before
he thought of running for office. You know
what a smart .Aleck' he is. After what was
really thoughtful and well-considered dis
cussion, he obtained permission to ask some
questions, and started off with this one:
where do literary laurels grow?' There
was a laugh, and the thing would have
been remembered as joke had he not per-
sisted
"'Who cultivates the flowers of rhetoric%
was his next conundrum, and then he want
ed to know if the buds of genius could be
forced and if they could survive a hard
winter.

ened man in the back of the hall, I would
move you, sir, that we ap'int committee

THE PURCHASE EXPOSITION.
Well Pleased with the Inauguration of the
Louisiana Purchase Worlds Fair
Campaign in Washington.

Washington, Feb. 26.-''I think we
can go back to st. Louis and say that
what we propose to ask of congress
is assured
This is the estimate which Mr.. Davis
puts upon the prospective results of
the visit of the ST. Louis delegation TO
Washington and the spirit of the Louis
lana purchase banquet. Mr.. Davis is
conservative of thought and careful of
speech. But he expressed himself un-
reservedly satisfied with the way in
which 1.-The purchase people" got to-
gether last night. Leaving out of con-
sideration the matter of sentiment, Mr..
Davis said he could not see now the
movement from a business point of
view could have had better Inaugural
tion in Washington.
'One thing that impressed me last
night" said Mr.. Davis, was the rela-
tionship shown toward the purchase
celebration. The speakers from the
different states took the same view.
They treated the proposed exposition
as something in which they were all
engaging. They spoke of it as the af-
fair of the whole purchase, not as ST.
Louis enterprise, which enlisted only
their sympathy and moral support. I
was glad Gov. Francis gave the dinner
the business direction he did, and held
it to that line. The hearty way in
which the speakers pledged themselves
and their states to material participa-
ton was striking. The execution of
our plans looks a good deal easier to
me than it did before this trip to Wash

The cablegram from Admiral Dewey
asking for the Oregon was received
with surprise by the officials here. No
one knew, or at least, would admit,
that he knew, the nature of the po-
litical reasons for which the admiral
says demand the immediate presence
of the peerless battleship. The ca
blegram was taken to the cabinet
board and fully discussed there. The
admiral, it is said, possibly feels that
the moral effect of the presence of the
big ship upon the insurgents them
selves, and particularly upon that
large element among the Fiiipinos-

difficulty from joining fortunes with

thies lie, would be good. But there
is an underlying doubt whether or not

committee on military affairs reported

Grafton by the senate committee and

KANSAS HoMEwARD BOUND.
Two Regiments Coming Home and An.

Threat of q Cuban.

Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 27.-The
United States transport Minnewaska
will leave on Tuesday. having on
board the Twenty-third Kansas vol
unteers. The Roumania win probably
leave on Thursday, with the Eighth
Illinois regiment. These troops, like
the Ninth immunes, have had of late
no special duty to perform. The Third
immunes, now at Guantanamo, are un-
der orders to be mustered out, and will
withdraw about March Is, leaving only
three wkste volunteer regiments and
one regiment of regulars available for
duty in the province. At least one
more regiment isneeded by the depart

infantry.
1t was recently reported to Gen.
Leonard Wood, on reliable authority,
that prominent Cuban, holding a
high position in this province under
the military government had openly
stated that if the Americans did not
''get OUT by July, Cuba would declare
war.
Needless to say the military gov
ernor attaches no Importance to talk
OF this character.
Very little in the way of public i'm
provements is now going on in this
department. Gen. Wood is able to
keep only what has already been done.
He had no power in the handling of
funds, except so far as the monthly
allowance is concerned, and this pre-
vents fresh contracts and the giving
of work to thousands of Cubans who
want it.
Santiago province gave Havana last
month $4,000. All branches of the
department government, civil and mil
itary, complain that they are badly
hampered by orders from Havana. In
any event, improvements have prac-
tically ceased.

Manila, Feb. "a, 1880 a. m.-Owing 6
to the wholesale arrests of all sus-
pected Filipinos yesterday, and the
clearances of the streets at seven
o'clock last night, the threatened re-
newal of the scenes of the previous
night did not occur. With the eXcep-
ton of few shots fired in the neigh
borhood of the penitentiary, the city
was quiet as possible.
Outside Manila, the rebels were very
active. Near Caloocan. the brigade
commanded by Gen. II. G. Otis had
several lively skirmishes with the reb-
els, but at daylight the enemy was
driven back with severe loss.
The feeling in the city is very much
improved to-day, and business gener-
ally has been resumed. Excellent Or
Ger is maintained by Gen. Hughes
police force, which is universally com
mended.
Orders have been issued to enforce
the provisional tariff at Iloilo, and the
following officers have been appointed
to conduct the civil affairs of Iloilo:
Maj. Theodore Stomberg, treasurer;
Capt. j. T. Evans. collector of GUS
toms; Ensign L. H. Everhart, port

ROGER WAS GENEROUS.
Bat 1t Was with Something He
Couldn't Keep All to
Himself.

A little boy in North side kindergarten
has discovered at an early age the art of
making others do unto him the things he
would like to have done by inducing them
to believe they are getting the chief enjoy
ment themselves. When the hour for lunch
con arrives Roger eats his own very quickly,
in fact in quite the bolting fashion of the
bear he pretends to impersOnate. Then he
is ready for his play.
"Pm a hungry little grizzly bear" he roars
threateningly, "and want you to fill me up.
Come, hurry up, little boys and girls, fill me
up, FIJI me up, or I'll grind your bones to
make my bread
And the children, enjoying the subtle
frolic of the youngster, proceed to drop
into the small hungry mouth bits of cake
and sections of oranges and pieces of bread
and butter and an occasional morsel OF
candy, until the little grizzly bear" has
emptied every lunch basket in the kinder
garten and is the only filled up" youngstaT
in the school.
But the time came when Roger found
something to give in return for the filling
process. He arrived at the kindergarten one
morning with a nice, aggravated case OF
whooping cough, and in "a hours every com.
panion in his class had caught it from him.
Naturally, he would give it away, you
know" explained the ironic teacher, de-
prived of her school. Roger is such gen.
