of American cable companies in Central
and South America is repeated In the Phil

able. 80 per cent of the whole telegraph
traffic will be carried on by less than 400
customers. 300 of whom will be foreigners
and the balance inhabitants of the United

government all the advantages of gov
eminent line for official business, in time
OF peace or war, at fixed charge for the
service, and without any risk to the gov
eminent, the corporation raising the entire
capital and assuming all risks, for a sum
not exceeding 100000 a year for twenty
years and rate thereafter to be fixed by
the Postmaster General, not exceeding half
the rates charged the public thereafter.
THE proposed contract, viewed in this
light is in no sense a subsidy. The gov
eminent receives full value for every dol
lar paid, and far greater advantages than
1t can in any other way. while relieved Of
all risks. 1t will secure direct communica-
ton with China and Japan.
"A low rate for commercial messages
about one-half the existing rate will be
established, not only between the United
States and the Philippines. but also to
China and Japan. namely, not more than
a dollar word which is cheaper. in view
Of the length Of the cable, than the rate
now charged by the transatlantic cable
for messages between the United States and
England.
THE committee is convinced that the
government will secure under a contract
with a private company, at much less ex-
pense and without risk, all possible ad
vantages of Pacific cable, and that the
commerce of the United States will derive
much greater benefits from cable so laid
than could be obtained from a government
cable"

letter:

O.:
"Gentlemen-I have now used two
bottles of Peruna, and am a well man
today. l could feel the good effects OF
your medicine before had used it a

A. T. GOODWIN.
Catarrh in it's various forms is rap
idly becoming national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discovered
by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the past
forty years. Prominent men have come
to know of it's virtues and are making
public utterances on the subject. To
save the country we must save the
people. To save the people we must
protect them from disease. The dis
ease that is at once the most prevalent
and stubborn of cure is catarrh. Pub
lie men of all parties recognize in Pc
runa national catarrh remedy of un-
equaled merit. Send to DR.. Hartman

MISS FLETCHER's SUCCESS
The Daughter Of a Former Governor O
South Dakota Attains an Enviable
Position
Position

From the Oregon Independent Salem. Ore.
The daughter OF Hon. j. II. FLETCHER
formerly Governor OF South DAKOTA
but now resident of Salem, Oregon
has lately attained an env.aole posi-
ton. Her success is remarkable, es-
pecially when the fact is known thai
for some time it was feared her career
would be shortened because of il
health.
Ex-Governor Fletcher, in speaking
of the happy event in mis- daughter s
life, said:
For over two years my daughter
had been declining from a strong
healthy, rOSy-cheeked person to pale
weakly and helpless girl. She was al
f1icted with terrible headaches, and
gradually grew weaker and more Ian
guild, and apparently without cause
We became greatly alarmed and feared
that her days were already numbered
Il tried several doctors, one after
the other, but all without avail. FL
nally, to please a friend, 1 bought a
box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills fo1
Pale People, and to our surprise, be-
fore it was used her headaches ceased
the color began to return to her cheeks
and lips and her strength began to as
sert itself.
Il bought five boxes more and by the
time she had finished them she was
completely restored to her health, and
today our hearts are gladdened with
the society of robust, rosy and
healthy girl, instead of a pale, tired
and sickly one. In her case the trans
formation was rapid and wonderful
and can never speak too highly of the
splendid merits of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills."
No discovery of modern times has
proved such boon to women as DR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
Acting directly on the blood and
nerves, invigorating the body, regu-
ating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted
woman when every effort of the ply
stefan proves unavailing.
For the growing girl they are of the
utmost benefit, for the mother indis-
pensable, for every woman invaluable.
Everywhere DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are recognized as a
specific for diseases of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, locomotor
ataxia, and other diseases long sup
posed incurable, they have proved
their efficacy in thousands of cases.
They are one of the greatest blessings
ever bestowed upon mankind.
This remedy is sold by druggists
generally or will be sent, postpaid, by
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Sche-
nectady, N. Y, on receipt of price. SO

o,ConnelI and Massey.

Laughter has been fatal to at least
one bill in the house of commons. In
the days of O'Connell Thomas Massey,
who was a sworn foe to everything
that suggested popery, introduced a
bill to abolish the suffix mas from all
words in our language and to substi-
tute ''tide," thus converting Christ
mas" into ''Christtide," and so on.
When he had ended his Introductory
speech, O'Connell got up and said:
"Since the honorable member has such
an insuperable objection to the word
mas why does he not set a good ex-
ample by anglicizing his own name7
In that case we should be quite willing
to speak Of him as Thotlde Tidey."
The house rolled with appreciative
laughter, and Mr.. Massey never recov-
cred sufficient courage to speak of tho
bill again.

Youtseyln Good Spirits

Frankfort Ky )-Henry E. Youtsey
was placed in Jail here, being brought
over on his cot. Sheriff Snuff says
that Youtsey talked perfectly rational
on the trip over and seemed to be in
good spirits. Yourtsey walked from
the street to the Jail unassisted.
Youtsey was the last of the suspects
who were confined in the Georgetown
jail, Caleb Powers, who was given life
Imprisonment, having been removed
to Louisville. Davis, Combs and Whit
taker whose cases were venued there,
have been released on bail.
Youtsey occupies a cell on the third
floor of the Jail. Jim Howard, who is
under death sentence, is on the second
floor and a strict watch will be kept to
prevent them from communicating with
each other.
