In a letter to DR.. Hartman concerning
the merits Of Pe-ru-na, Mrs. Brewer
writes, among other things:
WESTERLY, r. /.
"Dear DR.. Hartmann find Pe-ru-na
sure cure for all catarrhal affections SO
common in this part Of the country. It
cures cold at once. There is no cough
medicine that can at all equal Pe-ru-na.
AS for la grippe, there is no other rem
edy that can at all compare with Pc
ru-na.
~ am among the sick great deal in
our city and have supplied many in
valids with Pe-ru-na, simply because I
am enthusiastic in my faith as to its re-
suits. I have never known it to fail to
quickly and permanently remove that
demoralized state of the human system
which follows la grippe.
s3In all cases of extreme weakness I
use Pe-ru-na with perfect confidence of
q good result. In cases Of weakness
peculiar to my sex am sure that no

England having now given notice that
state of war exists in South Africa
between the Dutch States and Great
Britain, our own Government will GER
tafnly, with a swift, strong hand put
stop to the raising of troops in New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago to aid
the Beers. We have no choice and
should have no desire in this matter
except to maintain strict neutrality. If
We do not. If we close our eyes to vio-
lations of the neutrality laws as we
did in the days of the Fenian excite
ment, we will have not only to answer
for it to our consciences, but we will
have opened door which, in case we
are involved with foreign Power or
home insurgents, we cannot close.

THE WIDE TIRE ACT.

The Legislature passed a wide tire
January l, 1900. 1t was defective in
the bill, but went to passage and was
approved in that form. Though its de-
fects were pointed out the houses re-
fused to listen to the true friends of
good roads, and the result is that the
law will on the LIST of January next fall
dead letter, and to that extent the
good road movement will be set back.
The defect of the law is dual. 1t de-
scribes in one instance an impossible
axle as the measure of the width of
tire. Secondly, the Act prohibits the
bringing into the State for sale of a
lawful article of trade and thus crosses
the interstate comfy which is guaran-
teed under our Federal system.
Two years ago the Record Union"
pointed out the ambiguity of the Act
AT the last Legislature an effort was
made to have it corrected, but with no
good result, and SO the long looked for
beneficence the broad road-making
tire was to be to the highways of Call
fornia goes glimmering. When Her
bert Spencer wrote of the sins Of leg
islators SO forcibly he should have sup
plemented his essay with a chapter on
the bull-headedness of legislators One
man came to the Legislature with the
sole purpose of having q wide tire law
passed. He was so filled to the brim
with his idea that no other of import
ance could find Judgment in his legis-
lative intelligence The bill was drawn.
introduced, passed and approved with
out amendment, though the friends Of
good roads were fearful of it's phraseol-
ogy and sought to have it corrected
But bull headedness prevailed, and
both houses put the bill through and the
proponents of the measure went home
triumphant. The result is a defective
Act incumbering the statute books. The
legislative intention was commendable,
but stubbornness and want of knowl-
edge of the science of the law defeated
the purpose. The law will not be en-
forced. No one expects it to be; few.
if any, users of wagons are preparing
to change tire widths; so the whole re-
form goes by the board

other remedy can approach in good re-
suits the action of Pe-ru-na. 1t meets
all the bad symptoms to which females
are subject. The Irregularities and ner-
vousness, the debility and miseries
which aff1ict more or less the women
from girlhood to change of life, are one
and all met and overcome by this ex-
cellent remedy. I wish every young
lady in our city could read your book.

Pe-ru-na will cure the worst cases of

A table compiled by New York
paper gives ninety-two trusts formed
during 1898, and embracing every de-
partment of industry. Their aggre-
gate capitalization is shown to be
S1,292, ,749 200, Of which s957 ,957 300 is
common stock and 1884, ,791 300 pre-
ferred. Their bonded Indebtedness will
increase the total to over 81 500 OOO,-
900. A few comparisons will enable
one to grasp the meaning of this great
capital. The total value of the United
States wheat crop of 1896 is placed al
s310,602, ,539-less than one-third of the
capital of the 1898 trusts. The value
of all horses in the United States in
1897 was estimated at S452. .649, 1896.
The value of mineral products in 1896
was s623,717,2SS: sheep in 1897, $67,-
020,942; milch cows in 1897, S369. .239, :
993. The value of sugar consumed in
this country is now about 1920 ,OOO, 900
year The total of wages paid in
the sugar refining industry is about
1000. .00O-less than one six-hundredth
of the new trust capital of 1898.

made to send-hve cents, and her hus-
band sends thirty cents, "in the hope

the assurance that she is praying day

A Member of Uncle Sans Navy.

Mark St. Clair Ellis arrived in Springdale Saturday, having been called here on account of the serious illness of his father, E. s. Ellis. Mark is a graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and as NEWS read CTS will remember, saw active service during the war with Spain. He is now stationed on the Vicksburg, a training ship. where 12 and 15 year old boys are taken and trained for ser vice as "Blue Jackets" The ship has been stationed at New York for some time, but will go to Boston soon to remain for 8 month and thence to Eu- rope for a long cruise. They will touch at points in Eng land, France and Portugal.
 Mir. Ellis is tanned considera. bly,, and shows that he has been doing service, but he is more in love with his calling than ever He is personally acquainted with Lieut.. Hobson and says he is a fine fellow, and believes nis "kissing tour" was greatly magnified and ex- agerated by the presss. Ask cd concerning the Sampson. Schley controversy, he declin. ed to say anything that might be construed as criticism of a superior officer, but from his conversation we would infer that his sympathies are with the former. Concerning the trouble in the Philippines he holds that the Americans can do nothing but hold the Islands, as 1t would folly be to turn them over to the natives. Like most men in the army a nd na- " he thinks that wherever the flag is hoisted there she should remain.
 MT. Ellis will leave for New York Sunday.
