Nrs. Judge McAllister writes from l2l7
West 8srd st., Minneapolis, Mimi, - fol-
lows:
"I suffered for years with . pain in the

What used to DO called female diseases
by the medical profession IL now called
pelvic cstarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause Of most cases
Of female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first Of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
Q woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection. Of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruns for these cases and
found it 30 admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female disease ever known. Every
where the women are using 1t and prsis-
ing it. Peruna is not palliative sim
ply; 1t cures by removing the cause OF
female disease.
DIR. Hartman has probably cured more
women Of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply BY using and recommend
ing Peruns.

SWIFT JUSTICE.

The trial of Leon Czolgosz for the murder of
President Mckinley was briet. His case was
called last Monday morning at $50; his doom
was scaled last Thursday afternoon at o'clock.
From the opening of the case to the verdict of
the Jury, less than 80 hours elapsed. Could
Justice White have accepted the prisoners Of
"guilty," his trial would have been breifer STILL
The verdict of murder in the first degree was
inevitable. The evidence Of guilt was conclu-
sve. The prisoner himself admitted his crime;
yes, boasted it. He left no opportunity for
defence other than that of insanity, and, though
counsel employed eminent aliensts to determine
his ..ental condition, insanity was not establish
ed. Between mental possibility and mind
derangcd by anarchy, there appears to have been
in the minds Of the Juniors, difference sufficient
to make the prisoner accountable for his crime
Czolgosz being accountable, the verdict was GER
tain.
The verdict was reached with exact compli-
ance with every legal prescription for the defense
of the prisoner. The proceedings from the
moment of arrest till the closing argument
was made, were entirely regular. Every safe
guard provided for the interests of the murderer,
was invoked in his behalf, Every reasonable
technically of law was availed in his defense.
Justice was swift but it was just, in striking
comparison with the false ideas that caused the
wretch to assassinate President Mckinley.
Justice never stood in more forcible contrast
with injustice as in this trial for a crime as
senseless as it was horrible.

The trial throughout was decorous. The
court room was denied all persons who had no
business there. All the court officers seemed
determined that there should be not the slightest
display Of the spirit of revenge. The verdict
was received with dignity becoming so solemn a
matter. The last lesson in proper government
learned by Leon Czolgosz ought to last him
through eternity.

THE EARTH'S FACE.

TIME scientific men of Austria celebrated OH
L Aug. 20 the SEVENTEEN birthday of Prof
EDWARD SUEss, the most distinguished geologist
of that country, who at the end Of the last
semester of the university year, retired from the
chair of geology in the University Of Vienna,
after service of thirty-five years.
For nearly half century Prof. SUEss has
contributed frequently to the literature of his
scientific speciality, but nearly all his studies and
writings have been preparatory to the production
of his great book "Das Antlitz der Erde" ("The
Face of the Earth'), in three volums, which he
was over eight years in writing. In this book
he rejects the putonic theory of the origin of the
surface features of the earth by which mountains,
for example, are attributed to outbursts of the
fire forces in the interior of the earth; he believes
that volcanoes play very subordinate part in
the formation OF mountains. He holds, with
many other geologsts that the elevations and
depressons of the rock surfaces are due primari-
ly to the cooling and consequent shrinkage of
Tie tdTlH CTuSt, WIlCl ItsulIS Ill Tic DiedhIu1
of the strata and the uplifting Or folding of the
rock masses. He accounts, on his theory, for
the raisings and sinkings of various parts of the
earth's crust that are known to be still in pro-
gress, and for the differing positions of the sea
edge in various geological epochs.
Science knows, of course, that this theory did
not originate with Prof. SUEss. 1t has long
been held by many of the most eminent geolog-
lists. The distinctive merit of his work in that
never before was SO vast an array of evidence
adduced tending to substantiate the correctness
of the theory; and never before were proofs Of
its accuracy carried SO far. ..
Some of the data he used and the conclusions
he adduced may be proved, in time, to be erron-
eous. However this may be, he has produced
the most authoritative and exhaustive book yet
written upon the surface features of the earth and
the manner of their formation. As DR.. WIcH-
MANN of Gotha has said of him, SUEss was
road breaker, and the future investigation of the
problems he treated must always take into &C.
count the way he made for himself and for thu
specialists who will come after him.

country and living under such utterly diverse

traits, the big, Sinking, nearly uni-colored cat
seems to be much the same everywhere, whether
living in mountain, open plain, or forest, under
arctic cold or tropic heat. When the settlements

swamp, or inaccessible mountain gorge, and
moves about only at night. In wilder regions
it not infrequently ruams during the day and
ventures freely into the open. Deer are its
customary prey where they are plentiful, bucks,
does, and fawns being killed indifferently.
Usually the deer is killed almost instantaneously
but occasionally there is quite scufie, in which
