SIGNIFICANT TALK.
After q Conference with Mckinley
Senator Cullom Is Interviewed.
From . Republican Standpoint He Thinks
Approval OF Pending Reciprocity Treaties
Win sunacientiy Adjust the Tariff
Plain Talk About Cuba.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-After o visit to
President Mckinley ut Canton Senator
Cullon says there is not likely to be
any general tariff legislation next
winter, but that some of the pending
commercial treaties ought to pass the
senate. The senator also talked of
government policy in other lines.
Asked as to the story that Senator
Hanna had gone to Canton to get aid
from the president in settling the
steel strike, Senator Cullom said: 81
know there is nothing in that report.
Senator Hanna, President Mckinley
and myself talked of the strike as we
did other matters of current interest,
but there was no suggestion from
Senator Hanna Mt any time that he
was mixing up in the matter at all"
Speaking of the action likely to be
taken by congress at the next session,
Senator Cullom said:
We shall have to enact some legislation
regarding the Philippines. but not much.
I think. Porto Rico Is now all disposed
Of. and there Is nothing to do for It.
AS far as Cuba Is concerned. II mas ac-
cepted the American proposals. and we
have nothing more to do than let IL alone
and allow II to work out its own saliva
tion. From all the information I can
get. the feeling Is growing stronger In
Cuba every day In favor of final annexa-
ton to this country. It will grow stronger
and stronger as the Cubans find their
nelghbors In Porto Rico enjoying the BEN
Gifts of free trade with this country.
which they are debarred from.
There are some things we ought to do
which will amount to a partial revision
OF the tariff. There are present pending
before the senate some ten commercial
treaties. These treaties are all of a
reciprocity character. and IL they are
ratified will amount to Il change In tho
tariff with the countries with which they
are made. 1t seems to me as IL IT would
be wise to ratify at least some OF them.
A feeling has grown up abroad that the
United States Is disposed to act In what
may be called a hoggish manner In its
trade relations and II these reciprocity
treaties can be drawn so as to be for the
mutual advantage of both countries en-
tering into them think 1t would be BEN
eficial all around.

MEMBER OF SANDWICH
CONGRESS r""" ISLANDS
Cured of Catarrh of the Stomach
by Pe-ru-na.
by Pe-ru-na.

All over this country are hundreds
OF people who are suffering from
catarrh Of the stomach who are vast
ing precious time, and enduring need
less suffering. The remedies they try
only temporarily palliate the distress,
but never effect a cure. Remedies for
dyspepsia have multiplied so rapidly
that they are becoming as numerous
as the leaves of the forest, and yet
dyspepsia continues to flourish in
spite of them all. This is due to tho
fact that the cause of dyspepsia 10 not
recognized as catarrh.
If there is remedy in the whole
range of medicinal preparations that
is in every particular adapted to dys-
pepsia, that remedy is Peruna. This
remedy is well nigh invincible in these
cases.
DR.. Hartman, President of The Hart
man Sanitarium, Columbus, o., says:
I'm my large practice and corre-
spondence I have yet to learn Of
single case of atomic dyspepsia which
has not either been greatly benefited
or cured by Peruna."
No one suffering with catnrrh of tho
stomach or dyspepsia, however slight,
can be we'll or happy. 1t is the cause Of
SO many distressing symptoms that it
is most dreaded disease. Peruna acts
immediately on the seat Of the trouble,
the infamed mucous membranes lin
ing the stomach and lasting cure In
effected.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of PEI
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving q full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

FEWER RAILROAD CROSSINGS.
Tho Illinois Hoard Of Railway Commission-
ers Takes y Step Towards Making
Railroad Travelling Safer.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Hereafter when
one railroad wishes to cross the tracks
of another it will have to go either
above or below them, for the board
of railway and warehouse commits
sioners has decided that there shall
be no more crossings at grade in the
state OF Illinois. Existing crossings,
however, are not to be molested, at
least not for the present. The deter

of complications that have arisen in

SET pREcEDENTs AT NAUGHr.
Business Women Refuse to He Cow
erned by Axioms and Gus
toms of Trade.

A critic of the new woman-the
woman in Observation-Disclosures that one
half of the members of the class in
dorse their checks on the wrong end.
Some of them, he says, are just al
fatally ignorant of laws that the most
ignorant man knows as are their sis
ters who are tenderly kept from con-
tact with this wicked world, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
The business woman denies this and
pronounces such stories as that one
going the rounds of the press about
the girl who drew q check on Ger.
tain bank to cover the amount that
her account was overdrawn in that
bank the most preposterous Of fakes.
1t is nevertheless true that stamp
very rarely accompanies the check
with which n woman pays bill; that
she is invariably surprised that she has
to put one on an express package and
not q little indignant at the govern
ment for putting her to this trouble
and expense.
II is related of one young woman
who considers herself quite person
of affairs that when called upon to
register at hotel on o certain occa-
sion she wrote herself down in big
black letters as Miss PUSSY" Brown,
that being her pet home name. And
she moreover invariably hid the key
Of her room under the carpet in the
corridor when she went out, instead
Of taking it to the Office, as the average
individual does.
Another woman, this one with .
bank account, is strangely averse to
paying by check, but will travel all
the way into town, q distance of Is
miles, to draw the money for her debts,
and will then mail the bank notes to
the firms which she wishes to pay.
Asked her reason for this vagary, she
replies that it would be such a disap-
pointment topeople who expect money
to open an envelope and find only a
slip of paper. Yet she is clever wom-
an and conducts a poultry farm with
marked success.
There are women who never keep a
receipt for money they've paid and
who have to settle many bill twice
in consequence, and there are those
who deem receipts themselves wholly
unnecessary and troublesome and are
willing to trust to the honesty of hui
man nature. Yet all of these call them
selves business women and would be
highly indignant if anyone cast an
aspersion upon their ability to take
care of themselves.

USED A SHEET.
Mrs. Mary Stults Made a Rope
and Hanged Herself.
Was a Patient in Asylum From
Reno County.
INQUEST HELD TODAY.
No One Is Held Responsible For
the Suicide.
INQUEST HELD TODAY.
Was Regarded as Harmless and
Not Inclined to Violence.

Mrs. Mary E. Suits. a patient at the
insane asylum, committed suicide Sat
urday night. She was found Sunday
morning hanging in frons OF the win
dow in her room by a sheet which was
tied around her neck and fastened to
one Of the iron cross bars which are
placed in the windows TO prevent
escape.
The bar to which the sheet was tied
was less than five feet above the floor
A little platform or window seat is IN
front of the window and is about a foot
above the floor. 1t is believed she stood
up on this while she fastened the sheet,
and afterward stepped OFT and allowed
the full weight OF her body to pull
against the sheet.
She was found Sunday morning by
Miss Ella Thompson. one of the attend
ants at the asylum, when she was on
the rounds unlocking the doors for the
day. She was found in almost a sitting
posture The thick knot of the sheet
was directly under her chin and the
weight of the body cause suffocation.
Mrs Suits was 48 years old. She was
brought here July 13 from OsaWatOmie
where she was in the asylum there for
more than a dozen years. She was con-
fined in a room on the third floor of the
stone building. The inquest was held
at Barkley's undertaking rooms this
morning The coroner's jury returned
the verdict of death by hanging and
suffocation. No blame is attached to
the institution or its employees
Mrs. StultS has not been considered
a dangerous patient. There had never
been any history of an attempt at her
own life. She was seen at eight o'clock
on Saturday evening by Miss Thompson
as usual who locked up the ward for
the night. On the witness stand this
morning she said that nothing but the
usual good nights had passed between
them, and that Mrs. Stults had said or
done nothing to lead one to believe she
intended taking her life.
Mrs. Suits had one peculiar notion.
Tt was that she would come to her death
by burning and she frequently express
ed that opinion.
She lived at Hutchinson, Reno coun-
ty, and her body win be sent there to-
day for burial She has a sister liv-
ing at Argonia- Mr. BarkIey today re-
ceived a telegram from her brother-in-
law, James Tanner at Wellington, to
send the remains to Hutchinson.

N general express the greatest delight
IN anticipation Of the settlement of tbe
steel strike. and no one seems to have
the slightest doubt that the negotia
tlons for peace will have any other re
suit but cessation of hostilitfes a
laying down Of arms to take I'D the

So far neither Of the contendfnr
forces has suffered greatly. The
weather has been exceedingly hot. and
the men look upon the last month as
vacation during the heated tern.
Working under the severe strain of the
oppressive heat lately would be a
hardship at best, and the men think
that on this account perhaps many
hNes nave been saved by the strike
So far as the companies are con
cerned, they are also in better posi-
ton for work now than they We're be-
Tore the strike Many of the mills
nave been repaired and the conditions
for an increased output are greatly i'm
proved.
It is true that a computation OF cold

on account Of the strike. Of which i'm
mense sum IS. .960 900 is charged to the
combine and S2556, 900 to the strikers
but this loss viii soon be made up

prevail and the improved operating

Rev. DR.. NJ. George Daniel. archdea-

Sunday evening at the First Christian

Rev. Mr.. Daniel is the son of a Kurd-

tain of one of those rowing bands Of
robbers which hover along the great
