Peruna can be relied upon to cure
slight colds and coughs and other CO.
tarrhal ailments with promptness that
is unequaled by any other remedy.
If q cold has settled in any portion Of
the body and produced catarrh, 1t is gem
orally thought by people that they must

hope Of cure. This is not true, however,
Peruna cures such cases. Thousands Of
testimonials that can never be used

A RICH GOLD STRIKE.

The vein IRON. 25 TO Perhaps 40 Feet
wide, and Assays From F1S TO N2o
Fer Ton--Extcuds Under the Resi-
dencc of Col. Thomas Cruise,
Millionaire Banker.

Helena, Mont, Nov. 1O.-The site OF
4he new federal building in this city
is the scene of rich gold strike, and
by the terms of clause inserted in
the contract between the Congress
Construction Co., of Chicago, and the
United States government, the latter
will be the sole beneficiary of the dis
covery. This clause provides that all
minerals found on the property shall
belong to the government, conse-
quently the construction company
will be compelled to mine the ore
while the government will receive the
profit.
There have been reports for several
days that strike had been made,
but it was not until Friday that these
received verification, when some
wor<men engaged in the excavation
improvised an ore pan and panned
out as high as 100 colors. Assays
made show free milling gold ore to
the value of SIS and $50 per ton.
While the exact width of the vein
has not as yet been ascertained, min
ing experts estimate that it will be
fully 25 and perhaps 40 feet, making
it strike of large proportions.
The vein extends across the entire
block, from southeast to northwest,
and then goes directly beneath the
residence of Col. Thomas Cruise, the
millionaire banker, who, 20 years ago,
discovered the richest gold mine in
he afterwards sold to the Rothschilds
for 100000.

One Blow Too Many.

BY CHARLES EUGENE BANKS.
Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
Teddy Mcfarland left the train at
the little station of Limerick, so named
from the fact that the country for
miles around had been settled by peo-
pie from that district in Ireland. After
two years in the Klondike the little
village seemed quiet as a graveyard.
1t was Sunday morning and the viii
lage, solemn in its stiffness, was in
strong contrast to Dawson city, where
Sundays were unknown, but all days
were alike noisy with wild sports or
serious adventure.
The young man turned into a cross
street and walked slowly along under
the shade of the newly leaved apple
trees. 4 block farther on the bell in
the little Catholic church rang out the
morning service hour.
Mcfarland stopped by the gate to

FACTS ABOUT THE COUNTIES.
I the shortest Name-Custer County
Mont, the Biggest in Area.

I the Shortest Name-Custer County
Mont, the biggest in Area.
Some peculiar facts are being brought
out by the twelfth census concerning
the counties, says the New York Sun.
For instance, the shortest name of a
county is |, in Oklahoma, while the
longest is Saint John the Baptist, a
parish in Louisiana. Nebraska had a
county named LEau qui Court, but the
people had it changed to- plain Knox
in 1873, since which time it has grown
from 70 to 14,343. Vernon county,
Wisconsin, was formerly known as Bad
x Minnesota once named a county
Toombs, then changed it to Andy
Johnson, and now it appears as Will
kins. North Dakota boosted a county
called Gin Grass, but it was changed
to Wells. T~wenty-six states have hon
ored Washington with a county bear
ing his name; twenty-one states have
a Jefferson and a Jackson county; Lin
coin appears in sixteen states. Mon
tana has the county with the largest
area, Custer, which covers 20,490
square miles; the second largest Is San
Bernardina county, California, with
19,947 square miles. Both counties are
larger than either Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island
or Vermont. The smallest county is
Bristol, Rhode Island, which has only
twenty-five square miles, and Alex
andria county, Virginia, is next, with
t~hirty-two square miles. Texas has
245 counties, the largest number. Del
aware has three counties, and Rhode
Island five. Wyoming and Arizona
have the unlucky number of thir-
teen each. Texas covers 265, 780
square miles, and is not half so large
as Alaska, which has 59O,884 square
miles. Montana comes next to Texas
in size and has LAG, $50 square miles.
The District of Columbia covers the
smallest area Of any division-seventy
square miles. There are several coun-
ties lost, strayed or stolen. Nothing
has been heard from Mankanta county,
Minnesota, since 1850, when it had a
population of 1858. Wahnata county,
in the same state, disappeared about
the same time with a population of
two more than the other. Carson
county, Nevada, has been missing since
1860. Among the other counties which
have disappeared are one of the Daw-
son counties, in Texas; Cedar county,
Utah, and Lyons county, Nebraska.

l have often been asked as to what
I thought of the relative merits of the
Beers and British as soldiers, says
Adelbert S. Hay, United States consul
at Pretoria, in Golfers Weekly. My
opinion is worth very little, but from
what 1 have seen I can form an esti-
mate. Of the British, both men and
officers too much cannot be said. The
British officer, it seems to me, is at
times foolishly brave. That is to say,
he is impressed with the necessity of
inspiring his men and showing a con-
tempt for death or danger. 1t has
often been said that this is magnifi-
cent, but it is not war. I am not quite.
sure that l agree as to that. When
the man in the ranks knows that his
officer is not Sinking and that he has.
no fear of consequences, it makes him
courageous and inspires him to do his
best. The English soldier is plucky,
logged and usually contented. I do
not think he has the adaptability of
the American soldier, but he impresses
me very favorably. The Boer, of
course, has the advantage over the
B~ritisher-as l think he would have
over the soldiers of any nation in the
world-of being a natural born shot.
From infancy the Boer has been hunt
ing big game and has been accustomed
to the use of firearms. Distances on
the veldt are extremely deceptive. ow-
ing to the atmospheric conditions, and
it is difficult for a man not trained to
that form of outdoor life to be able to
accurately determine the range. The
Boer, on the other hand, having all
ways led the life of a hunter with a
keenly trained eye, has his adversary
at a disadvantage. That explains why
i'm the principal engagements the loss
of life on the. British side was so heavy
and the casualties among the Beers
comparatively few. The British i'm
fantryman is probably as good g
marksman as can be found i'm any
other army, but he is hopeless3y out
classed as. against the Bosrs.

Ambrose Mcxay,s Case.

neighborhood, and particularly the
members of Rockbridge Lodge, No.
435, A. f. & A. M, are feeling very
much pleased over the recovery of Mr..
Ambrose Mckay, a prominent citizen
and an honored member of the Mason
fc Fraternity.
Mr.. Mckay had been suffering for
years with diabetes and rheumatism,
which recently threatened to end his.
days. His limbs were SO filled with
pain that he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
Just then someone suggested a new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Piils-which
have been much advertised recently, as
a cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Dropsy, rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used a few box-
es he commenced to improve. His pain
all left him, and he is almost as we'll as
ever. He says Dodd's Kidney Pills are
worth much more than they cost. They
are certainly getting a great reputa-
ton in Missouri, and many very start
ling cures are being reported.

Mcfarland threw his hat into the air
for very joy of his feelings and then,
smoothing the smiles out of his face,
walked solemnly into the church. The
couple were already at the altar and
the priest was preparing to say the
final words that should make them
man and wife when the young miner
strobe down the aisle, and touching
Hennessy on the shoulder said quiet
ly:
Before this matter goes any farther

The priest was so startled that he
dropped his book. People in the pews
started to their feet in wild excite
ment; Hennessy turned with a snarl
upon the young man, choking with
rage at the unseemly interruption. The
bride threw n swift glance into the
eyes of the stranger, and a flush swept
over her face and she clutched the al
tar rail to steady herself. Mcfarland
was the only cool one in the house.

He told me that Hennessy had a wife
and children in New York, that he
deserted them to come west; left them
to starve. I can prove what l say. You
know it is true. Look at the old ras-
cal. He shows his guilt in his looks.
You don't deny it, do you Hennessy?''
"They are all dead, long ago."
