A dispatch from Linton. Ind, says: "A
committee representing the Commercial
Club have been out over the Southern In
diana survey securing right OF way. which
they guaranteed to John r. Walsh. between
here and Bushrod, a distance OF seven
miles. The committee has secured most of
right OF way, but Ii is having trouble with
a few farmers who ask enormous prices for
the privilege. Mr.. Walsh, backed by the
Commercial Club, will institute condemna-
ton proceedings against the farmers who
refused TO grant the right of way. In all
the amount will cost about s., 400 and will
be raised by popular subscription by the
citizens or Linton Work is progressing
rapidly on the extension, which has been
completed to the rlver. Work will COM
mence on this side this week and the in
tention to the Southern Indiana people is
TO have trains running in here in three
months. So far the company has had very
little trouble in securing the right of way.

OF Stockton township seem 10 be all to-
gether in demanding damages and want as
high as 500 an acre. The road will be built
despite these efforts 10 prevent z and will
be a great advantage to everybody"

Three Car Loads Daily.

To meet the demands for Pe-ru-na as 8
catarrh remedy during the fall and win
ter three carloads per day is required.
Few people comprehend what an i'm
mense amount of Pe-ru-na this is. 1t is
eighteen hundred dozen bottles of Pc
ru-na, each bottle containing twenty
ounces. This amounts to twenty-one
thousand six hundred bottles, or four
hundred and thirty-two thousand
ounces, or three million four hundred
and fifty-si1 thousand doses.
Three carloads OF bottles Of Pe-ru-na
placed end to end in single row would
extend over four and a half miles; ar
ranged in column one foot square they
would make q column nearly two thou
sand feet high, four times as high as the
highest cathedral tower in Europe, and
nearly twice as high us the famous Eiffel
tower. Remember, this amount of Pc
ru-na is shipped daily to meet the enor-
nous demand for this wonderful catarrh
remedy.
The facilities of the Pe-ru-na Medicine
Company are taxed to their utmost to
keep up this remarkable output, week
after week, and month after month.
This ever-incrensing stream of Pe-ru-na
finds Its way into thousands of homes in
every state In the Union

Thayer OF So Louis,

Fort Scott, Dec. 12.-John P. Reese,
national executive committeeman Of
the United Mine Workers, who has
been in Jail here under commitment
from the federal court for contempt,
was released yesterday under the writ
of habeas corpus recently issued in ST.
Louis by Judge Thayer. The neces-
sary $4,000 Sbond was provided by the
Topeka bankers. Mr.. Reese returned
at once to the coal fields, where he was
arrested. declaring that he would pur-
sue the course he was pursuing when
Judge Williams ordered his arrest for
contempt.
Abba, Dec 12.-(Special.) John p
Reese, of this city. who was incarcer-
ated in the Jail at Ft. Scott, Kansas,
bun who has been liberated, will not
return to his home here until he has
completed the work marked out for
him by The United Mine Workers as
ISOLATION. Mr.. Reese has written a let
ter to the United Mine Workers. Jour-
nal in which he utters not word
against the confinement in the Jail, but
which is full of pleas for the miners
to stand by the contracts they have
made with the operators and finish
their season or until the contracts shall
expire and then make their demand
for better wages. He takes the stand
that if the men will live up to their
| contracts and make the complaint for
better wages at a later date the oper-
ators will be more liable to meet the
demand. IA

Abel, Dec. 12.-Safe blowers were
abroad in this town Sunday night and

TO know which one to tackle, did not
attempt to blow either one.
Early Sunday evening stranger was

Des Moines Ministerinl Alliance Take
HEis Name Ofr'TheIr List.

Des Moines,. Dec. 12.-The name of
Rev. DR.. Cathell, pastor of st. Paul's
church. has been stricken from the
Ministerial Alliance directory. The
pastor was, in fact never n member but
his name has been allowed to appear
on the church directory list since he
becameia resident here few years
ago. AT Mondays meeting of the
alliance the question of unanimity on
the saloon movement came up. One
of. the ministers moved that inasmuch
as DIR. Cathell was quoted as opposed
TO the present movement, that the
ministers wanted no dissenting vote
among them, and that as he was not a
member of the alliance his name be
stricken fromG the list. The motion
was at once seconded and a unanimous
decision in favor resulted. DIR. Cathell
is not only not member of the al
lance, but it would seem that the
members of that; association are anX-
ious for the public to know that he is
not desired by them as long as he as
sumes the premises he is said to be
assuming on 1.-THE temperance move
ment. ..ass AZ
Byirheir actions it is not to be I'M
derstoad thatathe ministers are per-
sonally .opposedigto DR.. Cathell. The
alliance desires 20 go on record as
unanimous in, support of the anti-sa-
loon movement. and it could not do so
as long as the fame Of DR.. Cathell ap-
peared. {, 1t was, also found that the
entire church directory was faulty ow-
ing to the appsaranca of names which
had no place there, and motion was
put and carried to the effect that the
entire edition be destroyed, and an
other be submitted giving the names of
all the ministers of the city with an
asterisk opposite those who are not
members Of the alliance.
