given me almost complete relief, and /

is surely a wonderful remedy for ca
tarrhal affections. u. ID. Botkin.
This IL case of catarrh of the stom-
ach' which had run for twenty-five
years, according to his statement, and
Peruna has at once come to his relief,
promptly accomplishing for him more
benefit than he had been able to find
in all other remedies during quarter
of a century.
1t stands to reason that a man of
wealth and influence, like a Congress
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach,
it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.
II you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

THURB[R TELLING THINGS.
The President of the Exporters As sociation Before the Committee
 on Cuban Relations.
HE WORKED FOR INTERESTED PARTIES
He Made the Point. However. that All thnt wa. Done was On Inderstanding That the Export Association should Get Cuban In- dustries On a Proper Basis.

Washington. June 12.-F. F. Thur Der. president of the Exporters as soeiation. the witness who had been wanted ny the committee on Cuban relations. was before the committee Wednesday. Senator Teller produced n copy of voucher for S2. .ss0. show ing that that sum had been paid by the military government of Cuba by authority of Gov. Wood to the United States Export association. of which Mir. Thurber is president. Mir. Thur Der acknowledged that he had re ceiyed the amount. and said it was one of three payments he had re- ceived from the same source. The re ceipt was dated April ?. 1902, and states that it was for "advocating d reduction in the duties on Cuban products with a reciprocal reduction of United States products going into Cuba The witness said he thought S20o GOO worth of literature had been circulated. He said he had received contribution of g. LOO from Mr Havemexer, of the Sugar Refining Co.,. when he solicited that gentleman for a subscription.
 In response to questions by Senator Teller. Mir. Thurber said he had been active in the effort to secure q recip- rocal arrangement for Cuba. He had come originally as representative of the Export association, and also of the Cubans who are favoring reel proeity. He was not, he said. under salary from the Export association, but he admitted that he received percentage on the fees for member ship in the association influenced by himself.
 The witness said he had circulated
The Forrest City times., 1902-06-13

large number of circulars in the interest of reduction of the duty on Cuban sugar. and he submitted specimens cf some of them. Being asked by Senator Teller who paid the expense incident to the circulation of this literature. the witness replied that the Cuban committee had paid the larger part of it, and that mem bers of the association had paid part of il. He said he had been in the employ of the Cuban government for time in the summer and fall of 1901 in connection with the prepara tion of the Cuban tariff, his employ ment being at the instance of Sec rctary Root.
 In reply to questions, Mir. Thurber said that the money referred to above had all come through the Cuban com mittee but Senator Teller insisted that the voucher which he had pro dueed could not have emanated from the Cuban committee. Mir. Thurber then said that all was done through an understanding that the Export as >ociation should do all possible to get the industries on q proper basis. He denied, however. that the money was paid on verbal order from Gen. Wood. given while the latter was in the United States.
 Asked what was meant by the phrase Headers of thought" in his bill to the Cuban government, Mir. Thurber said that he had q list of 5000 people in the United States who represent something" to whom this literature was sent.
 In reply to question by Mir. Teller as to whether he had consulted Mir. Havemeyer, of the Sugar trust, in the preparation of literature. Mir Thur ber said: After making my argu- meut before the ways and means committee, l told Mir HayemeNer that l had been asked if l was represent ing him, and asked him for sub scription. He gave me a check to- ward meeting our expenses"
