A. A. MADISON.
Pe-ru-na attained great popularity
among the officers Of the army as well a.
the navy during the late war with Spain.
A great many letters were received from
field and hospital corps, indicating that
this popular climatic remedy has become
well nigh indispensable to them. Pc
ru-na is not only a National remedy, but
has proven itself q National blessing.
Letters from every quarter are received
daily testifying to the virtues Of Peru

given up all hope Of cure. Coughs, colds,

Weld at once to the action Of Pe-ru-na.
No case of catarrh can entirely resist the
curative virtues Of Pe-ru-na, as every
case is either cured or permanently bene-

4 Letter From Missouri.
Weather News of Interest.

Editor Highland Recorder
While the people of Highland
county have been enjoyingan alum
dance Of rain and COO! weather
we have been having a spell of
weather that beats the oldest in
habitants.
The last general rain we had was
May 22nd. On May Goth we had a
light frost, a shower June 9th, and
18th, was all the rain we had until
July Goth, when we had few show
ers, bat the dust was fving few
hours afterward.
These showers cooled the air for
few days so that the mercury did
not reach the 100 mark, and gave
US chance to get a fresh breath
and recuperate Il little. During
June the thermometers registered
from 90, to 1902. almost every day.
Beginning with June goth and
continuing until July 4th, we had
a high southwest wind that blew
almost constantly day and night,
which at times was almost hot.
From the LIST to the Goth Of July
the mercury registered from 100 to
1l2 every day. On the 18th it was
100 at s m 112 at 2 p m and 1O4
at 6 p, m. On the 23rd it was liz
at 2 p m and 100 at SPIN.
During this time all metal tools
exposed to the sun for a little time
became too hot to be handled with
out gloves, and the man who
thoughtlessly sat down on the met
al seat of a moving machine or hay
rake would arise at once-and get
a coat, a blouse, a whisp Of hay or
anything that would serve as nom
conductor.
We had good breeze nearly all
the time so that the work went on
rs usual without any prostrations
from the heat, and the one who
kept going stood tie heat better
than the one who hunted the shade
and tried to keep cool. But it took
double the usual amount of water
to keep our Threats wet, and SNIP
ply the extra evaporation and pers-
piration.
As result there will be practi-
eally no corn raised here this year
Some farmere have cut up their
fodder in order to save it, others
are pasturing their cornfelds and
some are feeding it from the fields.
The oat crop was almost fail
ure-about the fourth Of a crop.
Flax from one to three bushels per
acre. Wheat was good but there
was very little sown last year.
Hay, about half crop. and the
pastures are as brown as in NOvem-
Der.
Water is very scarce, but no one
in our neighborhood has to haul it
for house use, or drive their stock
more than mile for water.
We will have feed enough to
rough our stock through next win
ter, but there will be no cattle fat
tened for the markets on rs cent
corn. C. A. BIRD

There are behind the scheme a score or
more prominent florists and horticul-
turists living in almost every State in the
Union. The bill as drawn provides that
these persons shall be authorized to ere
ate a BODY polite within the District Of

evening before the adjournment of the

The impression prevails among the
Democrats that the Republicans will use
every effort 10 prevent consideration of
the Bailey resolution. The adoption of
the resolution, it was said last night, will
call for some explanation from certain
Republicans and if it is possible to have
the resolution go over it will be done. The
Republican members also talked over a
programme of business for next week, but
came to no conclusion.
All the appropriation bills have been
passed by the House and next week will
be devoted to general legislation, confer
