THOUSANDS Of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
of chronic catarrh that have re-
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna.
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo-
pie. a large proportion of these letters
are written by men and women promi-
nent in business and professional cir
cles and many of them we'll known
from ocean to ocean.
Take. for instance, Colonel John
Franklin Waters. who occupies a prom
inent position among the leading trial
lawyers of Chicago. He has probably
obtained more verdicts against corpor-
ations in suits for personal injuries
than any man of his age in the United
states, and during his practice Of over
fifteen years he has not lost single
case in the Supreme courts of Illinois
and Missouri. He is hard worker
and has the energy of four men.
For a number of years he had been
afflicted with chronic catarrh and hav-
ing recently been Thoroughly cured of
his old affection, an interview was OBJ
tanned with him by one of our report
ers in which he gave the following
statement to the public:
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 6, 1900.

Gentlemen-"It gives me great
pleasure to testify to the merits of
such worthy remedy for catarrh
as your Peruna. had suffered for
a number Of years from this very
disagreeable disease and had tried
many so-called remedies, but until
used Peruna none had. the desired
effect. I feel that I am perfectly
cured and can cheerfully recommend
Peruna to any one suffering from
catarrh."

BOARDING HOUSE TROUBLE.
Views of County Attorney Edward
Pike of Eureka.

County Attorney Edward Pike, whose
home is in Eureka, was in town yester-
day on legal business. Asked as to
what he knew of the situation in camp
with reference to the strike at the Cen
tennial-Eureka over the boarding house
question. he said:
There was nothing to indicate
trouble of any kind when I left. al
though it has been known for some
time past that considerable discomfort
existed among the men who were COM
PEELED to board at the company's board
ing house. OF course, I am not con-
versant with the character of food put
up there-it may be all right-but it
is the fact of c0mpulsion that the men
kick against, and when it comes to
boarding at q Boxer" restaurant,
can see where the men are right
There may be places where COM
pany boarding houses are a conVen-
fence and probably a necessity. but
such is not the case in Tintic district:
at least / don't know of a single in
stance where the interests of the COM
pany demand the attachment of a
boarding house. Board of a good, sub
Stantial character can be obtained at
either Eureka, Mammoth or Silver City,
within easy walking distance of the
mines. and the men generally prefer TO
board where they please.
No. 1 don't apprehend any violence
at all. The class of miners we have at
Eureka, so far as l know. are peace
able and laW-abiding men They be-
lieve that the company boarding houses
ought to be wiped off the earth. and
that every citizen ought to have the
right to spend his money as he pleases
and where he pleases. and there is no
doubt but what public sentiment will
sustain them in ali legitimate efforts
to attain that end"

"TRIADs" ARE FEARED.
Activity of Boxers Allies Great in
the South.

Hong Kong, July 26.-The. signs of
increasing activity on the part Of a
secret society known as the ''Triads"
are causing alarm. The Boxers are
believed to be an offshoot of the
'Triads,' whose ramificationS are
widespread throughout the southern
provinces of China. The organization
is distinctly anti-foreign and anti
Manchu, and numbers of Canton
troops are enrolled in it's ranks.
A report is current in Canton that
the ''Triads" are preparing for a. night
attack on the Shameen and that the
first sign will be the absconding of ma
tive servants.
The greatest apprehension prevails,
although at present Canton is quiet.
Many 'Triads" have been arrested
in Hong Kong during the last few
months. A Chinaman was arrested on
July 8 on charge of being a member
of the 'Triads." The evidence showed
that he had held rank in command

Thinks Patent Medicine Habit Is

(Harpers Bazar.)


Il have no hesitation in saying" re-

icine habit is running the nation"
What" exclaimed Quillby. DO you
think it is as bad as that?"
I not only think" said Bagster en-
phatically, but l know it. The in
sidious influence of patent medicines
is gradually but surely sweeping away
some of our best intellectual material.
Mar is by nature credulOus, and the

SUSPICION OF CHINA
is INCREASED

Washington, July 26.-The general
tenor Of such Chinese news as found
light was to add to the steadily grow
ing doubt as to the good faith of the
Chinese government as manifested in
its acts. Admiral Kempff's letter,
given publicity by the navy department.
today. which made the direct statement
that the imperial authorities were in
sympathy with the Boxers, was the
first official declaration to reach our
government contradictory of the Chi
nese representations that the imperial
government had steadfastly and from
the first opposed the Boxer movement
This government is bound to accept the
word Of its own officer until ii is over
come by irrefutable evidence.
The exchanges that are in constant
progress between the powers are tend
ing more and more to cast suspicion up
on the genuineness OF the many COM
municatiOnS that have come from Pc
kin through Chinese governmental
sources.
If it should be finally established
that there has been an attempt on their
part to practice a gigantic fraud upon
the world, that fact may call for a
change of attitude on the part of the
United States government toward Chi
ma. This would not affect the military
policy already under way, but merely
the technical relations between the two
governments. which probably would
closely approximate a step of formal
war.
The imperial edict promulgated yes
terday by Niceroy TAX at Canton, has
left disagreeable impression here
Despite the Chinese minister's view to
the contrary, this edict is looked upon
as suspiciOusly like a preliminary to
a formal declaration of war, and only
one step toward securing time to mOva
Chinese forces into a better position
for defense against the internationaIs.

MEADE's VITALITY LOW.
No Surprise That Colonel Has to Quit
China.

Washington, July 26.-The fact that
Colonel Meade. who was in command of
the marines at Taku, has been in
valided home on account of rheuma-
tism, has created no surprise among
his comrades of the navy who know
him best. While a man of indomita bic
will, Colonel Meade's vitality has been
below par and it has been an almost
constant struggle for him to perform
his duties.
Colonel Meade has been the ranking
marine officer at the Cavite naval sta
ton since its establishment. His de-
parture from Taku will leave Lieuten-
ant-COlonel Coolidge of the Ninth in
fantry in command of the American
land forces. The latter's command,
however, VIII be only temporary, as
the arrival of the Grant with General
Chaffee within the next few days will
place him in supreme command.
Major Waller. who is now the rank
ing marine officer, also will give way
TO Major Biddle. who has with him
on the Grant two companies of the
Fourth battalion of marines. The ac-
QUESTION of the 225 marines will bring
the force of marines close up to 700.
Owing to the largely increased force
which are on the way from the United
States, Colonel William S. Muse, who
is now stationed at the Mare Island
navy yard, San Francisco, may be as
signed to command them.
