WHY Cats Arch Thelr Hacks.

II is not anger alone that makes
cars arch their backs; indeed, when
two cats are preparing TO fight they
do not assume this attitude, but
erouoh low, just as they do when
about to spring on their prey, the
body being extended, and the hair
not ia the least erect.
It is noticeable that cat will also
arch its back when in an afreotionate
frame OF mind, rubbing itself against
sts masters leg, AT the same time il
Shghtly raises its fur and holds its
tail erect. It's whole attitude is just
the reverse OF that which it assumes
when savage. Darwin accounts for
this in the following words. Certain
states OF mind lead TO certain habitual
Sctions which are of no service. Now,
when q directly opposite state Of mind
Ia induced there is a strong end invol-
untary tendency to ths performance
of u movement Of directly opposite
nature. though it naAy be Of NO ser.

Probably Perished from Cold.

On Saturday last Joseph Brown re- ported to the sherff's office that he had found the remains of man about eight miles from town, on the east side of Eldon mountain. Deputy Hogan Harry HOxworth went to the place and found but the skeleton and cloth ing of what Mr. Hoxworth believes to be the remains of Wm. Hieman, tie cutter in his employ in January, 1899. One cold night Hieman left the main camp to go to d camp two miles further on and no trace of him could be found, although diligent search was made through the heavy snow that covered the ground at the time, and it was be- lieved at the time that it was he who perished from the cold. A loaded re- vOlver and fifteen cents in money was found near the skeleton. Hieman was d comparative stranger here and stated that he came from Colorado.

When Lightning Strikes a Tree.

If lightning strikes a tree after a
long period of heavy rain, when the
whole surface of the tree is damp,
it generally does very little harm to
the tree and often none at all. If, on
the other hand, the tree is struck
when the surface is dry it is more
severely damaged, because then the
electric spark will descend by a line
of lower resistance along the damp
wood under the bark. In this case
the heat of the spark instantly pro-
duces steam to very high pressure
under the bark and it is generally
blown ND.

cans in congress, in denial of justice
to the Porto Ricans, was particularly
offensive to large republican element
in that section. German-American SEN
timent in regard to Imperialism and
militarism will also contribute power
fully to democratic success in the mid
die west and northwestern states. The
nomination of Adlai E. Stevenson for
vice presid lent will also be of great as
sistance in that section, as well as
throughout the country. "Mr. Steven

says, sis democrat of democrats. He
is democrat whose name is intimately
associated with 40 years of splendid
democratic history, with democratic
struggles for principle and with ulti-
mate democratic triumphs. Mr.. Stew
enson is known to the democrats of this
country as a democrat. He speaks a
language which they understand. He
is grounded in the democratic faith.
He always was a democrat. He will
be democrat to the last. Mr.. Steven

THE SIGNS ARE RIGHT.
Good Indications That Illinois. Indi.
ana and Wfsc0nsfn Will Go
Democratic.

Ex-President Harrison admits that
it will not surprise him should In
diana go democratic this fall This
admission, while it will amaze some
exuberant republican prophets, is in
line with the best information obtain
able as to the situation in the Hoosier
state. Those who, on the strength of
the 10000 Mckinley plurality of four
years ago, are asserting that Mr..
Bryan cannot carry Indiana" should
read and ponder what the Independent
republican Indianapolis News says:
1.-THE more that one knows of the stu
alton in Indiana the less will one venture
to predict the result of the election next
November. And those people who are
saying freely now. four months prior
to the election, that Mckinley Cor Bryan,
as the case may be) cannot carry Indiana
afford by these very assertions the best
proof that they do not know what they
are talking about For the slightest in
vestigation will show them that there are
many uncertain elements in the prob
lem"
Gen. Harrison, who knows the stu
alton in Indiana better than most men
can know it, evidently believes that the
democrats have the better chance in
that state. This is most encourag cling
and hopeful sign. By general consent,
the battle will be fought in New York,
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and
Wisconsin, each of which is regarded
as deba table ground.

GROWING IMPERIALISM.
What the Country Is Coming To I'm
der the Republican Adj
mfnistratiOn.

The republican leaders seek to make
people believe that there is no such is
sue in this country as that of inn
perialism, with it's adjunct or prop OF
militarism.
They seek to suppress the fact that
the essence of Imperialism is not au-
tocracy at home, but the exercise OF
dominion over alien peoples without
their consent and against their will.
This dominion over alien subjects
may be exercised by congress nc
less really or extensively than by an
emperor. The Objectionable thing is
the exercise of arbitrary power over
conquered subjects rather than the
agency through which that power is
exercised. The Objectionable thing, in
short, is imperialism rather than an
emperor.
Where there is imperialism an en-
peror is pretty sure to appear. Rome
was imperial while it was still a repub-
lie, but the emperor followed imperial,
ism as a natural sequel.
Those who will open their eyes can
not fail to see the same tendency here
An empire with unwilling subjects can
only be held together by pinning it
with bayonets. Imperialism must be
backed by great army.
We have found that out already
Our army is four times as large as it
was before the imperial policy was
entered upon, and we are continually
hearing that it is not large enough

Philippines even during the rainy sea-
son, and he must have more as soon

Enormous Pension Payments.

''Since July, 1866, to the present
time" said Commissioner Evans, of
the pension bureau, uncle Sam has
disbursed on account of pensions 81
5O0,OOO,O0O, and the highwater mark
has not yet been reached. There are
not quite 100000 pensioners on the
rolls, but we are not far from that
number, and by the time 40 years
have elapsed we will undoubtedly
have 100000 pensioners on the rolls.
We are paying more for pensions to-
day that France pays for the support
~ its standing army.

The Paramount Issue.

Political leaders will harp on old
issues, but the intelligence of the SOW
ereign power of the country will keep
steadily in view the new and greater
questions which are so distinctly pre-
sented for the solemn judgment of the
republic They are the questions of
an imperial policy that is an absolute
and revolutionary departure from the
corner stones of our free institutions,
and any equally imperial business pol
icy concentrating the power of regulat-
ing the cost of the necessaries of life
in organized monopolies. These ques-
lions will grow in interest every day
as the campaign progresses, while the
issues of the past, no matter how gal
vanized in party platforms, will be
relegated to forgetfulness. 1t will be
one of the most earnest conflicts this
country has ever witnessed since it
was convulsed by civil war. and the
party that is most honest with the peo-
pie will have the vantage ground on
the homestretch.-Phila Times.

The Worlds Railway Mileage.

The total length of railways in the
world at the commencement of the
year 1899 was 466, 500 miles. Of this
grand total of miles-equivalent in
length to nearly 20 girdles around
the earth-Europe is credited, in
round numbers, with 167,5OO miles;
North America has $4,000; South
America, 27,OOO;, Asia, $4,000; Africa,
1000; Australia, 1850. The United
States alone at the date named, a year
and half ago, had $4,000 miles, or
10000 miles more than all Europe.

The most depsely populated area
comprises New York, Brooklyn, Jer-

THE ONE MEDICINE

In the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which aff1ict their delicate or
ganism spring from Inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of a mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is a catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure you.
