Tho sultan,s Kind Act.

After the German emperor left Con-,
stantinople, the sultan of Turkey was
returning to his palace escorted by his
troops, when man broke through the,
line and placed large linen bundle
in the carriage at the sultan's feet.
There was tremendous excitement
of course, and a courageous officer
lifted the supposed Internal machine
out of the carriage. At this moment
the mass of linen began to move, and
instead of explosives a crying baby
proved to be the contents of the par.

gave himself up to the police, and
stated that he was an official who had,
not received any salary for months.

the immediate presence OF the peerless

to the cabinet board and fully dis.
cussed there. The admiral it Is said,
possibly feels that the moral effect of
the presence of the big battle
ship upon the insurgents themselves,
and particularly on that large element
among the Filipinos that Is believed to
be restrained with difficulty from
joining fortunes with Aguinaldo, with
whom their sympathies lie, would be
good. But there Is an underlying
doubt whether or not the admiral may
not be keenly sighting gathering
cloud in the east and is looking to the
prevention of any possible interven.
tion or interference by European pow
ers in the struggle now in progress in
the vicinity of Manila.

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-
