No man is better known in the State
of Nebraska than Mr.. Carl T. Roberts,
contractor and mason. A typical Amer
ican-active, shrewd. and full of BUSH
ness sagacity. He is not only pro-
wider for his family, but q protector.
In a recent letter to Dr.. Hartman he
writes, among other things, as follows:
"Our boy James, had the membran-
Gus Group, and repeated attacks of lung
fever. Our boy, Charlie, was also
subject to attacks of pneumonia and
pleurisy. Our third boy, John, was
subject to fever and ague (malarial)
and liver trouble. Your remedy,
Peruna, cured my boys entirely, and

by your remedy, Peruna, for which /

port that am better than have been
for many years. l believe Peruna is
without q doubt the best medicine that
ever was used in a family. 1t has
cured my nervousness, with which
had been afflicted for great number
of years."
1t is q fact of ever increasing aston
ishment that 80 many otherwise sensi.
BILE and provident people will, for the
neglect OF 80 simple precaution as to
have bottle OF Peruna at hand, bring
upon themselves the needless suffering
and foolish expense that practitioner
of medicine is forced to witness every
day.
As soon as the value OF Peruna is
fully appreciated by every household,
both as a preventive and a cure OF
these affections, tens of thousands OF
lives will be saved, and hundreds Of
thousands of chronic, lingering cases
of disease prevented. Peruna is the
household safeguard.

NORTHWEST NEWS.
The Immediate Future Of Pacific
Coast Seaport Towns Appears
Particularly Bright.

In an article entitled, possibilities
OF the Pacific" Bonds and Mortgages.
published in Chicago. spoke as follows:
There is no section OF the prosperous
West which is attracting the eyes of the
| financial world more at present than
the cities of the Pacific coast. The
vast and rapidly growing trade of the
Orient and the tropics, the gold discov.
cries in Alaska, the growth of Australia
and New Zealand, the opening up OF
the vast steppes of Russia and of the
great Chinese empire, all bespeak COM
mercial and financial opportunities un-
paralleled in the history of the coun.
try. The scene of the future human
drama has been shifted to the Pacific
coast. Two-thirds of the worlds popu-
lation awaits US at our Western gates,
separated from us only by a great ocean
highway, free from the possibilities of
toll or monopoly, and affording every
accommodation necessary for the trans
action of an enormous volume of new
business.
Already American commerce with
the islands and countries of the Pacific
shows greater gain in the year 1899
than that with any other part of the
world. Our total exports increased
$40. 900, 900, and our exports to Asia
and Oceania alone increased over $19,.
600, 900; our total imports increased
$l64, 900, 900, and $48, 100000 of this
increase was from Asia and Oceania.
Exports to Asia and Oceania increased
~ per cent, while imports from that
part of the world increased 40 per cent.
With these interesting and instructive
figures before us, the immediate future
of the Pacific coast seaport towns ap-
pears particular bright. The greatest
activity prevails in the younger and
more progressive cities of the North
west, with Seattle, Portland and Ia
coma eagerly wing with each other for
commercial supremacy. The heavy in
vestments made during the past year
by Eastern capitalists in this section
reflect the fullest realization of exist
ing conditions by the far-sighted invest
ing class. The Pacific Northwest is
just emerging out of the hour of dawn
to battle in the most brilliant rays of
prosperity which ever shown upon any
country.

Women,
Ran,onahor
This
Fact

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham
YOU are communicating with woman
"a woman whose experience in treat
ing woman's ills is greater than that
of any living person-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to q wo-
man when it is revolving to relate her
private troubles to man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing full we'll that they should have
immediate assistance, but natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of even
their family physician. 1t is unneces-
sary. without money or price you can
consult a woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience is unequaled.
Women suffering from any form OF
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened
read and ans wered by women only.
This is a positive fact-not q mere
statement 1t Is certified to by tho
mayor and postmaster of Lynn and
others whose letters, all in q little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Write for a copy, 1t is free. Thus
has been established the eternal con-
fidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never
been broken and has induced more
than 100, 900 sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it 10
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing In re-
turn except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
are some Of the cases we refer to:

What Was Done.

During Stonewall Jackson's cam.
paign in the Shenandoah valley il be.
came necessary that a bridge over q
small creek should be built in great
haste. One evening jackson sent for
his old pioneer captain, Meyers by
name, and pointed out to him the urg.
ency of the occasion, saying that he
would send him the plan of his colonel
OF engineers as soon as it was done.
Next morning jackson rode down to
Myers quarters, and. saluting the vet.
eran, said: Captain, did you get the
plan of the bridge from Col. --r'
''Well, Z" said the captain, "the bridge.

whether the picture is done or not. -

Fruit Cannery.

The farmers OF Eagle valley, Or. are
about to erect fruit cannery. At
meeting held at the schoolhouse at that
place the farmers of the valley SUBJ
scribed $4,000 for the purpose. The
total cost of the plant will be about
IS, 1000, and, as this is the first meeting
held, the farmers are confident that no
trouble will be met with in raising the
full amount. The establishment of the
cannery will be of much benefit to
Baker City, as we'll as to the farmers
OF the valley, where large amount of
fruit is raised annually. The cannery
will be conducted on tho cooperative
plan, and it is the intention to take all
the fruit offered by the farmers. Much
of the product will find q market in
Baker City. as the home consumption
is large and is steadily increasing.
