THE ONE MEDICINE

in the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which afflict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is a specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure you.

RETAIN MoRRo CASTLE.
Garrison and Hold the Fa-
nous Stronghold.

New York, July 20.-In addition to
the other bases of supply demanded
in the Platt amendment, it is the in
tention of the administration to
permanently retain Moro castle,
overlooking the harbor of Havana.
This the Washington correspondent
of the World says is announced on
the highest authority. 1t is the in.
tention, says the Worlds special, 10
occupy, control and defend the
stronghold with United States troops
after the government of the island
has been handed over to the Cubans.
The plan is to equip the fortress with
modern artillery, in order that Cuba
may be assisted in defending herself
against outside interference, and al
so that the United States may thus
have guarantee against failure on
the part of the Cuban government TO
carry out its pledges and the terms of
the treaty now in course of prepara-
ton as between this country and
Cuba. Under this treaty the reten-
tion of the fort is provided for.
The Castle is Crumbling.
At this time Moro castle is crumb.
ling with the weight of years and is
of small account as fortress. Spain
was 100 years in building it. The fort
was begun in 1867 by Oregon CASTOR,
governor of Havana, with money from
the receipts from Mexico. then owned
by Spain. Millions of dollars were
squandered upon it, and when it was
completed it was acknowledged to be
one OF the most formidable forts in
the world.
But Spain was not satisfied, and So.
100000 more was expended upon the
castle during the governship of Juan
Francisco Guymas, who, when the
work was finished. said: pass it who
can."
Became ~ Dreaded Prison.
MORO eventually became the most
dreaded of all the prisons of Spain.
Men of all classes, rich and poor, high.
born and humble, have entered its
gates never to return to their friends
1t was really more as prison than as
fort that Morro became known
throughout the civilized world. Hua.
dreds upon hundreds of men have
died the slow death of despair in its
subterranean vaults. From il there
was no escape unless the magic pow.
er of money was at hand to aid the
unfortunate.
Some years before the war of this
country with Spain Morro castle was
restored to its original use as a fort
and Cabanas became the PRINCIPAL
prison of the island and one of the
most wretched in the world.

Outlook for Corn Less FavOrabIc-In
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Ken
tuclsy IL i'm Need of Rnin-Practi-

Kansas--Other Crops.

Washington, July 24.-Following is
the weather bureaus weakly sum-
mary OF crop conditions:
Intense heat has prevailed another
week throughout states of the central
alleys and middle Rocky mountainre-
gion, with only local showers over
limited scattered areas. Maximum
temperatures of 100 degrees or above
were of daily occurrence over more
or less of the territory named. I'm
der these conditions the drought has
been greatly intensified, and its area
largely increased. Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma and portions of Nebraska
have suffered most, but the conditions
are now critical from the lake region,
westward TO the middle Rocky noun
tain region, including the greater
part of Texas. Portions of the mid
die and South Atlantic states contin-
tie to suffer from excessive moisture,
but very favorable temperatures have
been experienced in these districts,
and also on the Pacific coast, where
bhC NCCh was tOCltA tlidh
The Outlook for Corn.
The outlook for corn is less favora-
BILE than at the dose of the previous
week. In Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
homa and Missouri early corn is prsc-
tically ruined. With early and abun-
dant rains in these states late corn
would probably make half crop or
less. The condition of the crop in
Iowa is more favorable than in the
be .ore-mo Toned states, and copious
rains with moderate temperatures
within q week would greatly improve
prospects for n large part of the
crop. In Illinois Indiana, Ohio, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, more particu-
larly the western portions OF the last
named states, corn is now seriously
in need of rain. In Illinois the crop
has not yet sustained great damage,
but will be materially reduced unless
the drought is relieved within week.
In the middle Atlantic states the con-
ditions have been highly favorable
for corn, and its condition is further
improved.
