and It's effect upon the iron trade. says;
- ne one oSersaadowing feature OF
the iron trade to-day Ia all departments
is the unprecedented friction resulting
from the failure Of the railroads TO pro-
vide for the freight offered them.
The present congestion Is without
parallel IN the RECORDS of 1899. and with
many manufacturers and consumers is
the uppermost question, beyond any
consideration of prices or production.
No relief is in sight before the close of
the navigation season, when the pres
sure begins from the ore and coal
trades, both of which, like other lines,
are to-day seriously Handicapped. In
some instances the failure of transpor-
tation facilities has actually reduced
production in iron working lines. and
many foundres daily face the slterna-
tive OF shutting down"

seldom has the tumultuous cheering-the
genuine ovation given to horse and rider
been equalled in this state.

of taking two derbies in succession, was

He was boosted upon the shoulders of men
and detail of blue coats had to be called

from the course. As for the earnest, pleb-

fused to permit the attendants to tie upon
his back the gigantic floral saddle that the
club had provided for the winner.

McLand was silent as he was strung

to say, Lord, you promised to be with
me now" There were about 200 armed
men in the mob and they overpowered the

some distance off, which battalion was
being attacked by the enemy.
The songs consisted of old folk-song

letter:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus,
Ohio:
Gentlemen-"I have now used two
bottles of Peruna, and am a we'll man
today. could feel the good effects
OF your medicine before / had used it
week, after suffering with catarrh
Tor over year. >" Respectfully, A.
I. Goodwin.
Catarrh in its various forms is
rapidly becoming a national curse.
An undoubted remedy has been dis
covered by DR.. Hartman. This REM
edy has been thoroughly tested dur.
ing the past 40 years. Prominent
men have come to know of its virtues
and are making public utterances on
the subject. To save the country we
must save the people. To save the
people we must protect them from
disease. The disease that is at once the
most prevalent and stubborn of cure
is catarrh. Public men of all parties
recognize in Peruna a national catarrh
remedy of unequalled merit.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use Of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hart
man, giving full statement of your
case and he will be pleased to give
you his valuable advice gratis.
Address DR.. Hartman, president Of
the Hartman Sanitarum, Columbus,
Ohio.
