 w the Commercial Hotel, Minne- apolis, Minn., as follows:
 "For two months my physician ex- perimented with me, trying to cure a hard cold which settled in my stomach causing inflammation and catarrh. | then made up my mind that he was sim ply unable to help me, and reading some of the fattering testimonials to the value of Peruna in such cases I thought I would try it.
 "It was six weeks before could eat a meal without unpleasant effects, but have now been well for six months and I give all the credit to Peruna. ."-Mrs. Leone Dolehan.

 I was troubled with very serious female weakness; had spells of flow ing that exhausted me so that 7 feared Iwouid lose my mind. suffered un- told agony with my back, the pain ex- tending down my left log. My pain was so severe that I would have welcomed death at any moment-so no one need wonder that I recommend Peruna so highly, for it cured me entirely of that. Not a sign Of pain has ever returned, and that will soon bc two years now.
 "I am glad that there is way can speak, trusting that many sufferer will read my testimonial, and not only read, but believe."-Mrs. Wm. Henderson.

Retail Dry Goods Trade.


 In discussing the retail dry goods trade for the past year. MT. A. ,. Knowes. of the Fair. said:
 While there have been many things to act as drawbacks to trade. on the whole there has been no retrogression. The crops have had hard time. and the farmers. in consequence, have been put to much expense and have been kept closer at work. In the spring soon after planting. heavy rains washed up the seed. and it was neces- sary for the work to be done again. Then came the long and almost fatal drought. Finally. the wind and rain storms of the past month have put the farmers to much worry and expense, and curtailed the crops. Last year cotton was selling at g and 10 cents, and this year is worth to s. Another thing which has worked to the disad- vantage of the dry goods man Is that provisions have been more costly. When bread and meat come high, the farmer Is compelled to economize In some other direction. and he usually does so at the expense of the wardrobes of himself and his family. Despite all this, we have been doing good business throughout the year, and our sales for July and August show a gratifying in crease over the same period last year. Crops are late and the opening of the fall trade is necessarily delayed. AL though 1t is probable that the price of cotton will not be as high as last year, our business will show a satisfactory increase"

July and August are the visiting months: and we are visiting more now than we did a year ago. From what information I can gather. however. more shoes were sold from January to July than were sold during the first six months of 1900. attribute the recent duIlness to the extremely hot and dry

FEWER TROOPS NEEDED.
A Reduction Ordered In the Force In
the PhiIippines.

Secretary Root yesterday issued an or
der which shows that the War Depart
ment officially considers the insurrection
in the Philippines at an end and that no
more trouble is expected in the archipel-
ago. cablegram was forwarded to Cen
eral Macarthur at Manila ordering him
to reduce the force in the Philippines to
10000 men.
The cablegram also directs that three
regiments. one of infantry, one of artil-
lery, and one of cavalry, be sent to the
United States with the returning voiun-
teer regiments. The regular infantry
regiments ordered home are the Four
teenth, Eighteenth, and Twenty-third
The Fourth Regiment of Artillery, COM
prising four batteries, and the Fourth
Cavalry are the other commands selected
to return.
Orders have been issued to the comman-
ders of the various recruiting stations and
military posts throughout the country
that no more of the newly recruited regi-
ments are to be sent to the Philippines
except on occasions when regiments al
ready there are permitted to return to the
United States because of two or more
years service abroad. The new regiments
will be kept on garrison duty in TINS
country until called for.
Another important order contained IN
the cablegram is to the effect that Cen
eral Macarthur must stop the recruiting

In the general discussion which follow

Il. Andrews. Capt. j. p. Walker. William
Hahn, and e. A Poe. and others paftici-
pated. The project of inducing manu-
facturers to locate in Washington was
unanimously accepted.
DIR. Reyburn suggested that an unfor-
tunate condition initiating against the
establishment of manufactures here was
found in the ability of the municipal
government to impose regulations which
might be obnoxious or an impediment to
the business of such concerns.
Mr.. Andrews gave statistics indicating
the discrimination in freight rates against
Washington as compared to nearby cities
Mr.. Poe recommended that the associa-
ton, cooperating with the Board of
Trade, effect Congressional action in the
interest of local manufacturing He con-
ceived that Government consideration to
the project would be an advertisement of
the purposes of the District of Columbia
which could not be secured by great ex-
penditure of money
