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
eGy 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 aD-
solute safeguard known. \ cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To preventc colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh cut 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.

Banquet the Proper Thing.

In the last yea many stirring events
have occurred to make banqucts and
other means of celebration the proper
ching. but none of them arose to the
occasion of Saturday night. That is
admitted in all quarters here. No hap
pening was of more significance SO
far as the attitude of the influential
public leaders was concerned than the
one Saturday nigh:. and it must o
be forgotten that it is all the more
remarkable because Of the ncarncss of
the closing of the session of congress,
when every Legislator is extremely
busy. The consensus of opinion was
that the suggestion made by the Lou
isiana Purchase convention vas emf
nently proper, and not any more than
required for the proper and patriotic
recognition of the policy advocated by
jefferson which resulted i'll the Won
dcrful development OF the purchase
which helped bring the country and
the nation to the state of power and
progress enjoyed to-day.

LaDored for Success.

The st. Louis delegation, which gave
the banquet Saturday night, spent the
day carrying OH the campaign for the
success of the fair. Long before night
it was the unanimous opinion of all
the national Legislators talked to that
congress would make the Ioan of So
00O,O o asked for, and hat the fair
certainly would be the greatest ever
held in this country. There was no
m who did not express the greatest
surprise at the assuring enthusiasm
displayed at the Arlington banquet.
Everything showed most positively
that the sentiment undoubtedly cN-
listed that the anniversary of Jetfer-
sons far-sighted purchase should he

tax value of R. Rs. b the railroad
defeated the proposition in the leg
islature, and in order to let the leg
islature down easy, agreed to the
proposition of delegating to the Cor

adjust the assessment. The Com
mission made an increase. 1t could
not have done otherwise in view of
the generally known discrepen ey ex

of railroad property and that of in
dividual property; but it increased
it only about ten million when il
