I also used It for my catarrh, and can
now cheerfully recommend your remedy
to anyone who is suffering from the grip
and catarrh."-J. P. Megrew.
Miss Anna Russell, Past Worthy Coun-
selor, Lloyd Mystic Legion, 2e3 Endicott
Building, st. Paul, Mimi, writes:
"For years have unfortunately found
my system in peculiarly receptive con-
dition for catarrh when 1 was exposed
in any way TO inclement weather. At
those times I would be severely afflicted
with la grippe and its unpleasant con-
sequences.
"Now for the past year and a half I
have used Peruna in such cases and have
found that it not only cures me quickly,
but it also cleanses my blood and rem
ders me less liable to catch cold. 1t is
the finest preventative of colds that 1
know of and very superior tonic."-
Anna Russell.
Miss Emily Milburne, President Of the
Westside Young Woman's Club, No. 152
West Congress street, Chicago, ILL.,,
writes Of several members of the club of
which she is president, who have had
the Grip and have been quickly restored
to health by Peruna.
Mr.. Nicolas F. Rossiter, Of 463 Nor
wood avenue, Cleveland, o., had a severe
attack of the Grip, was very sick and
under the physicians care. He, like
many others, passed the acute stage but
did not receive strength. Peruna not
only quickly restored him to his former
health, but to much better health than
he has had for years. He gives Peruna
all the praise.

twenty minutes. The stand in which
the mayor met the prince was lined
with royal purple, adorned with flags
of both nations. and was located at
the head of the main staircase, inn
mediately opposite the Market street
entrance, through which the royal
party, later, made its exit.
The reception over, carriages were
taken for the drive through the busi-
ness portion of the city, his royal
highness being the last to enter his
carriage, which was Mr.. Adolphus
Busch's magnificent landau, drawn
by four black horses. All of the 9TH
or vehicles were drawn by elegant
matched teams, attended by liveried
cOachmen and footmen.
The cavalcade was headed by a
platoon of mounted police, under
command of Chief Kelley, immediate
ly followed by a squadron of the
Fourth United States cavalry from
Jefferson Barracks, under command
of Mai. Edwards.
Though early in the morning, the
streets through which the cavalcade
passed were lined with people, who
gave the royal visitor respectful
welcome, at times breaking into
cheers.
The St. Louis club, on Lindell boule-
ward, was reached shortly after eight
o'clock, and breakfast was served inn
mediately.
The first formal function, at the
close of the meal, was Mayor Wells
presentation of the municipal address
of welcome. 1t was of elaborate and
unique design from the standpoint of
the engraver's execution, and con-
tanned in sterling silver case, deco
rated with American and German
coats of arms, the German ad-
admirafs flag and other appropriate
emblems, all wrought in gold and
black enamel, surrounded By golden
rope and anchors, with an engraved
reproduction of the city hall on its
back. The address is held by dainty
scroll Of Sorrento work, surmounted
by the German and American pen
nants. After it had been officially
read ii was returned to its costly en-
easement and the box handed to the
royal guest, who responded briefly.
The guests were seated at a table ar
ranged in horseshoe form. extending
the entire length of the dining room.
An hour and forty-aye minutes was
spent at the repast. At the conclu-
sion the party re-enteres tneir car
riages and were driven through the
western part of the city, including
the most elegant of the residence por-
tion and Forest Park.
The drive concluded, The time of the
princes stay in St. Louis had expired,

meanwhile, backed up TO Union ave-

boarded it there, and after cordial
farewells and godspeeds started on
the trip to Chicago, where it is said

One of the features of the st. Louis
visit was the almost absence of stiff

ner that all who came in contact
with him felt honored in having met

The reception to the prince by St.

been, but there was no sign of toady-
ism. All was dignifed, elegant and in
good taste.

The Almighty Dollar" He is King.

The proverbial saying, Money
MAKES the mare 60" is more in evil
dence to-day than at any other time
in the history of our country.
The money power is represented
by only few thousands of our
countrymen, while still fewer in
number of other nationalities, COM
pared to the masses control the
wealth of the world. The money
power is worldwide and unit in
its endeavors to expand and multi
ply itself by hook and crook in eat
ing out the substance Of the masses
on which alone it can only exist
and thrive.
Corruption and fraud, deception
and ch h'canery are an impossibility
among the honest and unsuspecting
masses, hence they are the victims
of the autocratic classes who have
built upon their rights and privi-
leges the greatest money oligarchy
that every existed in the history Of
the world.
The money power is neither par
ticular nor partial upon what coun-
try or people it thrives all it cares
Is to secure or control all the wealth
wherever it may be found. 1t is
satisfied with nothing short of this.
1t would even mortgage a man S life
to its service and make him a slave
absolute.
The money power rests upon the
presumption that might is right,
and its only policy is to get wealth.
Get it, Get if you can, And if you
can't, get it anyhow. 1t is blind to
all justice, deaf to all appeals OF
charity, arrogant, naughty, defan,.
1t bleeds every necessity of the
masses and only laughs and scorns
when rebuked for its insolence.
Every attempt to curtail its arro-
gance and robbery through legisla-

ton or official recommendation, is
promptly met by its champions and
relegated forthwith to the back
ground.
The climax of corruption was on
ly reached when Quay manipulated
the will of the republican party
through corrupt delegates and made
Pennypacker the choice of the mon
ey power instead of Elkin. And it
now remains to be seen whether his
skill or ability i'll ballot box stuffing
will enable him to consummate the
Growing crime of the age.
But the money oligarchy are net
all republicans. 1t has just as
trusty servants who call themselves
democrats. And it is immaterial to
the money power in whose hands its
interests may fall. 1t will suffer no
man to be elected to responsible po-
sitions to administer in the interest
of the masses with the classes.
Even at this time again, Cleve-
land raises his voice from behind
the democracy he betrayed. He is
another Of the trusted money auto
Gratis. He was just a model presi-
dent for them. And no doubt they
would like to have the democrats
make him president again. But he
will be obliged to seek a high offic-
ial position through other sources
than through the name of democra-
cy. He has forfeited the honored
name, Democrat" by his treach-
cry. He, and the like of him, are
none Of us. The Benedict Arnolds
always serve the money power.
They never do anything in the in
terest of the masses. But at every
opportunity they betray the interest
of the people to plutocracy. We
have no more use for Clevelandism
after his treachery. than Washing
ton had for Benedict Arnold after
his treachery.

outraged trust; but the former tries

the nomination. Serious accusation
for young man, even Zarr, to
make against the Democratic party.
But who are the people that Zarr
so boldly and SO unjustly accuses
Of defrauding him9 The best an
swer to this question is to refer to
the thirty districts whose return
judges supported Johnston for
chairman, and to the scores Of 9th
er good Democrats who demanded
that as Terwilliger had received
the vote he should also receive the
nomination.
These are the men that are de-
termined that the votes of the peo.
pie shall be counted as cast, regard
less OF the work of bottle-and- doodle
vote-solicitors and election-return-
manipulators. These are the reo-
pie who hold sacred their political
integrity, their honesty of purpose,
and their fidelity to Democratic
principles, and who demand that
nominations by fraudulent voting
and returns of a few districts must
be stopped.
In justice to all it can truthfully
be said that every fair-minded man
in the convention, or who has inn
partially considered its work,
honestly believes that Mr.. Zarr did
not receive the votes he claims and
should not have received the nomi-
nation, Barrett, Doodle and bluff to

Out Door Events at the Normal.

The annual field day sports at the
Normal School, on Monday, attracted
a large crowd of people to Athletic
Field. The events were all warmly
contested and a deep interest was
manifested. At the close OF the pro-
gram, the Middlers trotted off the
field victors, they having captured 2S
points to 26 for the Seniors. The
Juniors had but IS to their credit.
In the individual standing Riland
was first with IA points, Hartman,
second 10 points; Jacobs, third, 9
points; Rulof, fourth, points;
Kieber, fifth, points.
The first event was the pole vault
and Rlland finally won by going over
at 7 #. and Pickering third, 6 #. 6 in.
The high jump was easily captured
by Jacobs, who jumped S feet; Rul-
off, second, 4 #. 10 in. and Kieber
third, 4 #. s inches.
The hundred yard dash was very
close, Hartman crossing the tape first,
Riland second, and Elder third. The
time was II seconds.
Ruloff was an easy winner in the
running broad jump, his mark being
IS feet S inches. Riand was second
with II #. II ins. and Jacobs third,
I6 #. 10 inches.
Only four contestants were entered
in the mile run and Kieber crossed
the tape first in S minutes and &c
seconds. Barker was second and
Lands third.
The 22o yard dash was another
closely contested event, Hartman
winning in 24i seconds, Riland finish
ing second and Elder third.
The shot was won by Miller, his dis
tance being IS #. 3 inches. Donald
was second with "a feet inches and
Leighow third, 81 feet 3 inches.
The most interesting and exciting
event of the day was the mile relay
between the three classes and for a
time it was difficult to pick the win,
ner.
Keiber soon passed his competi
tors, however, IN the last heat for the
Seniors, Hartman finished second fol
the Juniors and Ruloff, third for the
Middlers.

ANSWER TO R. R. ZAkR'S COMMUNE
CATION.
BY W. C. Johnston ESQ.,, Chairman Of The
Democratic Convention.

Careful reading Of the Zarr- sign
ed communication in last week s
COLUMBIAN discloses that it reflects
upon the integrity and honest pur-
pose, not only of the Democrats
constituting the recent Convention,
but upon the whole Democratic
party Of the county. 1t contains
misleading statements and absolute
falsehoods, and smacks much of the
language and sentiment of the poll
tician who was retired by the peo-
pie, and who has repeatedly gone
over to the enemy and against
Democratic candidates.
As chairman of the recent con-
vention, and as one of the many
Democrats who desire that justice
be done to all, and that the nomi-
nations be made by an honest count
of the vote as cast, and not by ma
nipulated returns, l answer the
communication.
Fairly analyzed, the communi-
cation contains the following:
Ist. The statement that Zarr is
not sore-head and disappointed
candidate, yet the entire article
goes to prove that he is ,he sorest
kind of a sore-head, and that he is
bitterly disappointed, that his
friends, including the pretended in
active politician, did not nominate
him lin spite OF hell' as one of his
jealous supporters promised to do.
end. Zarr claims that because it
appears or did appear, by the re-
turns to the County Chairman of
the Convention, and by the ballots
that he had received the greatest
number of votes, therefore he should
have received the nomination. 1t
is not the first time that the returns
as they appeared were not correct.
-Zarr neglected to mention two I'M
portant things First, he says
nothing about what his friends were
doing on Sunday and Monday over
the mountain, at Numidia and at
Catawissa, and that it was absolute
ly necessary that the late returns
from the mountain should have the
vote appear to be for him in order
TO make it appear to the convention
that he had received the largest
vote. Second, he fails to state that
a committee Of FIVE qualified return
Judges of the convention, one of
them, Barrett, his warm supporter,
was appointed under the rules to
investigate alleged frauds, and that
this investigating committee after
nearing testimony, examining evil
dence and hearing the argument of
Zarr's counsel, recommended to the
convention that the vote OF two
districts should be thrown out, and
that the convention by deliberate
decisive vote, adopted the recon-
mendation and threw out the votes
Of the two districts.
This action Of the convention and
its investigating committee COM
posed of Zarr's supporters, as well
as others, forever settles it; that as
a matter of fact Mr.. Zarr did not
have the plurality of votes cast for
the candidates for Prothonotary.
The convention was not to be fooled
BY the returns as they appeared.
ard. Zarr says that Johnston,
one of Terwilliger's lawyers, read
affidavits to the convention which
he had prepared for his client. p"
