The above map has been carefully
compiled from United States documents
by the Pe-runa Medicine Company,
of Columbus Ohio. The figures were
taken from the latest mortal statistics
published by the government and en-
tirely agree with the archieves kept at
The Hartman Sanitarium.
This map is made in four shades. The
lightest shade shows the states which
have the lowest per cent. of deaths due
to catarrhal diseases. In these states
very close 10 AZ per cent of all deaths
in 1890 were due to catarrhal diseases.
That is to say, four out of every ten
deaths were from catarrhal affections.
In the States of next darker shade the
per cent. varies from AZ to As. In the
next darker shade, As to 4S per cent. of
the whole number of deaths resulted
from catarrhal diseases. In the dark
est shade we have indicated the States
in which over so per cent, or one-half
or more, of all the deaths were directly
traceable to catarrh as the cause.
This is an appalling state of af-
fairs. This nation has got to con-
front the fact that catarrh has be-
come national curse. Catarrhal
diseases threaten the life of our
people. Over One-half of the people
suffer from some form or degree of
catarrh. Fully thfrty-hve million
people are personally interested in
the discovery of a radical catarrh
cure.

WOULD KNOCK OUT CABLES
SAYS CABLE MAN OF WIRELESS
TELEGRAPHY.

Nevertheless Mr.. Wards Company
Is Anxious to Construct Pacific
Cable Line-President of south
and Central American Line Fa-
VOrs Government COntroI-said
Battle of Santiago Would Never
Have Been Fought Had Dispatch
to Cervera Not Been Intercepted.
American Contractors Are Anx-
ious to Furnish the Material for
Line.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE effect of
wireless telegraphy on the future of
the submarine cable was developed to
some extent to-day by the House
Committee on Commerce. in connection
with the hearing on the proposed Pa
ciic cable The hearing was largely
attended. Vice President Ward, of the
Pacific Commercial Gable Company,
said he believed the company he rep
resented would be able to make ex-
elusive traffic arrangements from
points beyond the Philippines and con-
Meeting with China and Japa.
Chairman Hepburn asked series
of questions as to the effect of wire
less telegTa Apply on the sub marine ca
Bile. Mr.. Ward replied that the new
system of telegraphy presented a Sc
rious question. He was not certain that
the Pacific cable project would have
been undertaken if the long distance
experiments had occurred earlier. AS
to the claims that wireless signals had
been sent two thousand miles across
the Atlantic, Mr. Ward said that if
the claims were made good they would
deter people from laying any more ca
bles.
Presidet Scrymser of the South and
Central American cable system, made
an extended argument favorable to
government control of the Pacific cable,
citing incidents of the Spanish Amer
lean war, showing the importance of
governmental control of the cable. In
one case that was cited the Spanish
minister of marine cabled Admiral
Cervera to leave Santiago. If this dis
patch had not been intercepted Mr..
Scrymser said the battle of Santiago
Bay would not have been fought and
the conduct of the war would have
been changed.
Thomas E. Hughes, representing an
American Company which produces
cables, said that as good cables could
be made in the United States as in
any other part of the world and he
asked that American labor and capital
have the advantage of doing this work.
Chairman Hepburn asked If this Amer
lean company, was prepared to make
definite business proposition to the
United States government. Mr.. Hughes
replied that such proposition would
be submitted in due form within the
next two days.
j. w. Henry, civil engineer for an
American company making cable said
the company would furnish the gov
eminent cable at $1,000 a mile, which
to Hawaii would be about $4,000 900 or
considerably below the cost of a for
eign-made cable.
The hearings will be continued next
Friday when government officials will
be heard on the government project.

and so the mob had no trouble in TAX
ing Smith out of the cell where he was
confined and carried him off. Sheriff
Fletcher hurriedly collected posse and
pursued the mob and succeeded in re-
capturing Smith, but not before the
latter had been considerably beaten up
by the mob.
1t is supposed that when the mob
heard the Negroes story they were
convinced that he was not the guilty
party, and so decided not to string
him up, as they doubtless first intended
to do. Nearly all the men in the mob
were masked, and the sheriff could
not identify any of them.
The whole matter was kept ex-
tremely quiet, and but very few peo-
pie in Irwinville knew anything at
all about it until yesterday afternoon,
when the story leaked out When In
terviewed regarding the matter, Sher-
if Fletcher fully confirmed the details
as given above.

Drove Engine Into Tunnel Wreck.
New York. Jan. 11.-Engineer John
NJ. Wisker, who was arrested after
Wednesdays accident in the New York
Central tunnel was reported to-day
to be in better mental and physical
condition than he had been at any
time since the wreck. The news that
bail would be accepted and that he
probably would be able to leave the

much.
c. c. Paulding, of the law depart
ment of the New York Central. and
a nephew of Senator Depew, called
a the coroner's office and expressed
his desire to go bail for Wisker The

intention of the railroad company TO
give Wisker life position in the
yards, and that he would enter upon

released him.
Later in the day Wisker was re-
leased under $4,000 bonds furnished
by a surety company, at the request
of the New York Central and Hudson
River Company.

road Commissioners Baker and Cole,
