writes in a recent letter to The Pc

the following:

Two years suffering with catarrh of
the kidneys, unable to work on account
of the severe pain: could find no relief
from medicine: gave Peruna a trial and
was promptly cured-such was the ex-
perience OF John Herziger of Wisconsin.
This experience has been repeated
many times. Not only in Wisconsin
but In every state in the Union. 1t was
indeed lucky day for this young man
when his attention was called to Pc

gressiveness which have marked his
more recent years of public life were
present with him in college. and he
was a conspicuous figure among his
fellows.
1t was an interesting period in the
history of the party and the nation.
and young Roosevelt entered upon the
political field with eagerness and en-
ergy. The publication of political and

ideal with him, and with this came
the belief in the efficacy of the appli-
cation of civil-service rules to exccu-
tive conduct. So strongly did he i'm
press himsolf upon his political asso-
ciates that in 1882 he was nominated
for the state assembly and elected.
In tho State Assembly.
He served for three years and soon
came to be recognized as an able and
fearless advocate of the peoples rights
and he succeeded In securing the pas
sage of several measures of great benz
eft. The abolition of fees in the Of
flce OF the county clerk and the aboli-
ton Of the joint power of the board
of aldermen in the mayors appoint
ments were among those of special
benefit to the city of New York.
Another important work done by him
was the investigation of the city gov
ernment, and particularly the police
department, in the winter of 1884. An
other important service was securing
the passage of the civil service reform
law of 1884.

In 1856 Mr. Roosevelt was nominat-

mayor of New York. but, although in

From the time of landing until the
fall of Santiago the Rough Riders
were giant figures in the campaign.
Their work reached a climax on July
/. when Leut.-Col. Roosevelt led the
regiment in the desperate charge up
San Juan hill. He had shared all the
hardships Of his men. and when he
broke the red tape of discipline to
complain of Gen. Skaters camp and
its dangers from disease the army was
with him and the war department lis
tened to his judgment. On July IL he
was commissioned colonel OF volun-

Elected Governor of New York.
Scarcely two months later the new
military hero was nominated for gov
ernor of New York. In the conven-
tion he received 1853 votes. against the
21S cast for Gov. Frank S. Black.
Col. Roosevelt entered into the cam
paign with characteristic energy. Men
of all parties supported him and he
was elected by a plurality of more
than $4,000. His administration was
very satisfactory to his state.

COAL at Bells Ldg.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeai
of Thursday last gave out the iufOrma-
ton that the large government dredge
boat Gamma, would leave in a few
days for Lake Providence, where it
would be put to work cutting away
the large sand bar about mile above
town on the Mississippi side. The
Gamma is said to be the largest dredge
in the service of the government, and
its capacity is something like 500 Gu
bic yards per hour. The bar above
town is very large and it will take
something like six weeks or two
months TO finish The work. Too bad
though that the bank is not to be re-
vetted, the kind OF work that has
given perfect satisfaction wherever ii
has been put il.
