SENATE PAYS FITTING TRIBUTE.
Suspended Business to EuIOgize the Late
Hon. JOnn II. HOifecker.

We noted in our last issue the action
of the House of Representatives at
Washington, in the memorial services
in relation to the late Hon. John H.
Hoffecker, and the speakers who took
part in the exercises.
The Congressional Record of Feb.
25th contains a similar action on
the part of the Senate. After having
the longer resolutions adopted by the
House read, Senator Kenney submit
ted the following resolutions which
were read and adopted:
ResoLUed, That the Senate has heard
with profound sorrow the announce
ment of the death of Hon. John H.
Hoffecker, late a Representative from
the State of Delaware.
Resolved, That the business of the
| Senate be now suspended in order that
fitting tribute be paid to his memory.
Tributes to the memory of the de-
ceased were then paid by Senator
Kenney, who among things said:
1 was honored by being named as
| one of the committee representing the
Senate on the funeral occasion, and was
greatly impressed by the respect shown
his memory by the community in
which all his life had been passed.
The business of the town was sus.
pended and all the stores and factor.
les were closed, and in looking upon
those who attended the Obsequies and
followed the remains to its last resting
place, concluded that the regard o
those who had known him exceeded
admiration and reached the bond o.
affection.
Similar tributes were paid by Sena
tors McComas, Allen, and Heitfeld.

How to Cure the Grip.

Remain quietly at home and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as di-
rected and quick recovery is sure to
follow. That remedy counteracts any
tendency of the grip to result in pneu-
monia, which is really the only serious
danger. Among the tens of thousands
who have used it for the grip not one
case has ever been reported that did
not recover. For sale by Clifton &

Big Revenues of Russia.

Statistics recently published show
that the Russian government draws an
annual net profit Of $4,000. 900 rubles
from its forests, mines and agricultur-
al property. II receives annually So
100000 rubles from its communities
OF eN-ScrfS for the use of land il coded
10 or purchased for them. II is build
Ing by far the longest and most costly
railway in the world and ii owns and
works over 10000 miles of railways.
the net revenue on which is equal TO
seventh Of the net revenue Of all
the railways of the United States.
In 1875 it received $90oO00,OO0 into
its Golfers, nearly one-half of which
sum was not produced by taxation.
Its budget is greater than that of
France by more than S2OO.000,OOO.
In 1890. when one of the banks of
London was unable 10 meet its obliga-
lions, the Russian government had with
ii on current account a balance of 50
many millions Of pounds that when the
Bank Of England came 10 the rescue 4
request WAS Immediately made 10 Rus
sia not To dispose OF her balance before
a certain date. since 10 DO so would be
10 precipitate Z financial crisis Of the
utmost gravity. Finally. besides being
a capitalist and banker of this mag
nitude. the Russian state is also a
metallurgist and a spirit merchant.
In = word. the proud claim is made
for il that 1t Is the greatest landowner,
the greatest capitalist, the greatest
constructor Of railways and carries on
the largest bus * in the world.

81 am glad to call the attention of my
friends to Peruna. When that languid, tired
feeling comes over you, and your food no
longer tastes good, and small annoyances ir-
ritate you, Peruna will make you feel like
another person inside of a week.
Il have now used it for three seasons, and
find 1t very valuable and eficacious. Miss
Marie Coats.
Diseased nerves are traeeable directly to
poor digestion. and poor digestion is directly
traceable TO catarrh. With the slightest
catarrh of the stomach no one can have
good digestion.
Very few of the many women who have
catarrh of the stomach suspect what their
real trouble is. They know they belch after
meals, have sour stomach, a sensation of
weight or heaviness, a fullness, irregular APP
petite, drowsiness, gnawing, empty sensa-
lions, occasional paln-they all know this;
but they do not know that their trouble is
catarrh of the stomach. If they did they
would take peruna.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
As soon as Peruna removes catarrh from
the stomach the digestion becomes good,
appetite regular. nerves strong, and trouble
vanishes. Peruna strengthens weak nerves,
not by temporarily stimulating them, but
by removing the cause of weak nerves-pooT
digestion. This Is the only cure that lasts.
Remove the cause: Nature will do the rest.
Peruna removes the cause.
II you do not derive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use of Peruna write
at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a full state
ment of your case and he will be pleased TO
give you his valuable advice gratis
Address DR.. Hartman. President of The
Hartman Sanitarium. Columbus. o.

FRAUDS AT MANILA.
ARMY OFFICERS SAID TO HAVE
STOLEN MILLIONS.
Captain Barrows, Chief Conimissarlat'
Seven SerGeants and Many Business
Men Arrested Charged with Having
Looted Government Store.

A gigantic swindle by which, II IS
charged, the government of the Unlteo
States has been robbed of military stores
valued at hundreds of thousands of dol
lars has been sunearthed in Manila, ana
the disclosures thus far made Indicate
that the extent of the frauds has been
more far-reaching than any which nave
been perpetrated against the government
in recent years. Only the barest facts
concerning the swindles have thus FAR
been learned, but these are sufficient, II
is claimed, to show that a systematic rob
berry of the government has been gong
on for some time.
Captain Frederick G. Barrows OF the
Thirtieth volunteer infantry, quartermas-
ter of the department Of southern LuZoh'
together with seven commissary ser
geants, several civilian clerks, pronl-
nent government contractor, the assist
ant manager of the Hotel Oriente, the
proprietors of three of the largest bak-
cries in Manila, and several storekeepefs
and other persons, have been arrested.
The investigation scarcely has begun,
but thousands of sacks of -four, guam
tity of bacon and wagon loads of other
SOONSy d4i bSttA AHS SOANAAAAA4NhS +-4'"'--''
have been found in the possession of I'M
authorized persons. 1t is alleged that the
contractor in question, who has been do
ing a business approximating $1OOO0O a
month, has spent huge sums in entertain
ing officers. 1t is asserted that large
quantities of stores have been lost or stol-
Ell in transit, and also that there is
shortage in the conmissary depot.
New scandals are developed daily. IL
lcit transactions have been traced back
to June 1900, and it is possible that
there are others of earlier date. The
high tariff on provisions makes the sur
reptitious sale of commissary supplies
immensely profitable.
Lieut. Philip *. Sweet of the Forty
sixth volunteer infantry is prosecuting
the investigation under the direction OF
Col Wilder, chief of police.
1t was said at both the White House
and War Department Monday morning
that absolutely nothing had been receiv-
ed by the government regarding the al
legged unearthing of crooked work on the
part of army quartermasters and others
in Luzon and the arrest of number OF
persons in and out of the army for steal-
ing properly OF tne government vi 4eSe4N
ing stolen government property.
Gen. Corbn said furthermore that the
government had no intimation of any sort
that such developments might be expect
ed He was inclined for this reason to
think the frauds against the government
could hardly be so serious as reported,
though admitting this opinion was based
wholly on the lack of advices from the
government

AMONG The RAILWAYS.
Rock Island Will Run Cheap Excur-
sious to Colorado.


sious to Colorado.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railway, which made phenomenal sue
cess of cheap excursion rates to Colorado
last season, has again asked its competi-
tors in the Western and Southwestern
Passenger associations to agree upon a
series of cheap excursions to and from
Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo for
the approaching season, on the following
basis: Tickets to be sold from Chicago
and all territory up to Missouri river,
13, 20 and 81, at rate of one fare plus
81. or $3l 80 for the round trip.
On July and 9 and Sept 3 and 10 a
rate of SO is TO be made from Chicago,
and SIS from Missouri river points for
the round trip. Intermediate territory
will have proportionate rates. Tickets are
TO be sold from Missouri river points one
day later than the dates given above in
each ease. Proportionate rates will be
made to and from Glenwood Springs, Salt
Lake City and Ogden.
A series of east-bound excursions is
also proposed, tickets 10 be sold from
Colorado common points every Thursday,
commencing with June 20 up TO and in
Guiding Sept. l., at a rate of one fare
plus So for the round trip. All tickets
will be limited for return passage TO Oct
81. These rates will be rendered connect
ing lines for basing purposes, which will
probably insure a very low basis of rates
throughout the United States for these
excursions.
The Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific
will unquestiOnably make these rates and
arrangements effective. regardless of the
action of its competitors. and will run
special trains, only one night out to and
from Colorado, on the dates namea.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.

The above map of Il portion of the ISL
and of LuZon shows the relative position
of the province of Isabella, in which the
insurgent leader was captured, to Manila
The northeastern portion of the island IS
wild, mountainous and unsettled. 1t is
almost inaccessible, except by water. The
early dispatches said that the capture
was effected near Casiguran, nine miles
from Baler," but is inaccurate, since that
would involve his capture in Nueva Viz
caya instead of in isabella. Gen. Mac
Arthur's official dispatch names palanan
as the spot. This is evidently the same
as Paranan shown in the accompanying
map. Palanan is a town on the eastern
coast of Isabella province, situated some-
what inland on a river which flows into
the Gulf of Palanan. Between the coast
and the Rio Grande, which flows north
ward through northern Luzon, are the
Sierra Madras mountains, coast range
which is almost impossible. Palanan
and the coast towns where Aguinaldo
has been hiding could only be reached by
the water route.
