serious hostilities in South Africa by
September, and this is rather a pessimis-

from Lord Kitchener's progress this

Michael O'Halleran, Lieutenant Ser
geant of the Summerdale Station Police
Department, writes from 1898 w. Monroe
street, Chicago, ILL.,:
"Seyeral of the officers of our sta
tion have good reason to praise Pc
runa. Several times when thew
spent hours in the rain and came in
drenched, severe cold has followed
which 1t seemed impossible to throw
off until one of them tried Peruna,
and found the finest remedy for a
cold that a man would want.
"Since then we have used it for
colds, catarrh, influenza and other
complaints following i'm the wake of
inciement weather, and we all feel
well pleased with Peruna."

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indication
of arrangement or disease in some organ,
and the cause of the headache is diff
cult to locate because so many diseases
have headache as a prominent symptom;
arrangement of the stomach and liver,
heart trouble, kidney disease, lung trou-
BILE, eye strain or ill-fitting glasses, all
produce headaches, and If we could al
ways locate the organ which is at fault
the cure of obstinate headaches would
be much simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of
the eyes and in forehead, the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head and
throat; when the headache is located in
back of the head and neck it is often
caused from catarrh of the stomach or
liver.
At any rate catarrh IS the most COM
mon cause of such headaches, and the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt dis
appearance of the headaches
There II at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new internal
remedy in tablet form, composed of anti
septicS like eucalyptol, guaiacol and
blood root, which act upon the blood and
cause the elimination OF the catarrhal
poison from the system through the nat
ural channels.

NOT BAD FOR CROPS
WEATHER BUREAU REPORTS GOOD
INDICATIONS in MAIN FOR
WINTER WHEAT

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The weather
bureau has issued the following sum
mary of crop conditions for the month
OF February: In the Lower Mississippi
and Upper Mississippi valleys, to the
northward of the Ohio river, and in the
Middle Atlantic states, the month, al.
though cold, was generally favorable for
the prosecution Of such framework as is
usually performed in winter In the
Southern states the conditions were not
favorable for farm work
Moderate conditions have partially re-
neyed drought in Eastern Texas, but
elsewhere in that state drought condi-
tons continue. On the Pacific coast the
temperature has been favorable and the
rainfall abundant.
The northern portion Of the winter
wheat belt was generally well protected
by snow during the month, and an inn
proVement in the condition OF winter
wheat is indicated over the northern
portion Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Missouri, the outlook being less favor
able for the southern portions OF these
states and in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Arkansas.
The severe sleet storms near the close
OF January left large portion Of the
Ohio valley covered with fee, which re-
manned on the ground for a considerable
part Of February, the effect Of which,
1t Is feared, viii prove unfavorable
In Nebraska and Kansas the crop, az
whole, IS In promising condition. In
California the condition OF wheat has
materially improved. except in a few
sections where the rains came too Iata
to save the early snow.
In Western Oregon the crop IS In ex-
cellent condition, and it is generally
promising In Eastern Oregon, where,
however, considerable winter wheat has
been killed.
In Washington, the severe cold OF the
latter part Of January caused serious
injury in localities, but where not IN
jured by cold. 1t has made good growth.

RUMORS OF COMBINE
REPORTED CONSOLIDATION OF
HARTMAN READS In THE
SOUTHWEST Alt,
PAPERS ARE READY TO SIGN
Over $500 Miles of Road Will he
Controlled by the Company,
Making Great
Saving.

SAN FRANCISCO, March president
E. H. Hartman, of the Southern Pacific,
will soon arrive in this city and it is
stated that papers providing for a new
railway corporation will be ready for his
signature. Erastus Young, statistician
and auditor of all the Hartman roads is
said to be now preparing the necessary
documents under the direction of the
Southern Pacific law department. 1t Is
understood that the purpose of the pro-
posed corporation is TO refund millions Of
the Southern Pacific securities and to
simplify methods of bookkeeping.
The Southern Pacific has three distinct
companies operating its main line be-
tween San Francisco and Ell Paso, in
addition to O. number Of branch roads.
They are the Southern Pacific Railway
of California, the Southern Pacific Of
Arizona, and the Southern Pacific of New
Mexico. These companies, it is alleged,
are to be merged into a new corporation
to be formed under the laws of this
state. They have an aggregate bond is
sue of $69000,000. The bonds bear 5 and 6
per cent interest per annum and many Of
them fall due within the next two or
three years. A majority of the stock Of
each company is owned by the Southern
Pacific company. of Kentucky. The
three companies have 5,062 miles of road.
By putting the three lines into one
corporation the service of at least fifty
clerks will be dispensed with:
The main object, however, of the new
merger company. it is alleged, will be
to refund the $50 900, 600 of bonds men
toned at 31a and 4 per cent interest. By
this means a saving may be made Of
not less than $10OO,0OO a year in fixed
charges. 1t is understood the new cor
poration will take over the properties of
three Southern Pacific companies and as
sumo all of their assets and liabilities, SO
that their stock and bonds may be re-
tired and the companies disincorporated.

GREAT NORTHERN WAS LUCKY
flyer Got in on Time, but Northern
Pacific and 500 Trains Were
Nine and Ten Hours
Late.

The storm Of Friday night and yester-
day played havoc with the trains on the
coast lines, and the traffic was pretty
badly demoralized all day yesterday.
The storm evidently caught the coast
trains Friday night, and as it kept up
pretty we'll all day yesterday, it made
it made it almost impossible to run on
anything like schedule time.
The Great Northern coast train was
particularly fortunate, and pulled in on
about schedule time, but the Northern
Pacific and 500 Line were not so lucky.
At o'clock last night the Northern
Pacific train from the coast, due at 2:3O
p. m, was reported nine hours late, and
it was nearly midnight when the train
finally pulled in.
The 500 train was even in worse shape.
as it was reported ten hours late at 10
O'Clock, and it ran into some pretty bad
weather in the vicinity of st. Paul. The
Great Northern local from Willmar was
two hours behind time in getting In.
The trains looked like little fairy af-
fairs when they pulled in, but there had
been no difficulty in keeping them COM
Portable, as the weather was mild nearly
all the way through. The engineers, how
ever, said that it was impossible to make

Served Notice of Withdrawal FROM
the Association Yesterday

CHICAGO, March 1.-Notice of with
drawal from membership in the South
western passenger bureau was filed to-
day by the Southern Pacific road. The
reason given for the action was that the
expense of maintaining the bureau since
the withdrawal of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas road a short time ago had be-
come so much that benefits derived from
membership under existing conditions
were not commensurate to recompense for
it.
With these two roads out the fate of
the bureau seems to be sealed and it's END
is predicted soon. Some of the members
hold to the view that the dissolution Of
the Southwestern bureau will be but the
prelude to a consolidation of all pas
senger associations west Of Chicago into
one organization.

TROUBLE WITH SWEEPERs
Milwaukee Road Loses Much Graf1
Through the Nuisance.

Officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul road have discovered that much
or the loss of grain which they have sur
fered by theft in years past has been
due to car sweepers. These sweepers are
not persons connected with the road or
employed by grain men, but have cleaned
the cars of their own volition. 1t is said
that at several towns the sweepers nave
used the car cleaning merely as an ex
cuse to get into the yards for the pur-
pose of stealing grain in large quantI-
ties. Grain is usually taken a bushel
or two at time, but where Is or 20 cars
are tapped in this way daily. the los
to the company is quite heavy.

Miss Cora Ainsley, prominent school
teacher in one of our normal schools,

headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets as cure for them. She
says: II suffered daily from severe
frontal headache and pain in and back of

capacitate me in my daily duties. l
had suffered from catarrh, more or less
for years, but never thought it was the
cause of my headaches, but finally be-
came convinced that such was the case,
because the headaches were always
worse whenever 1 had a cold or fresh
attack of catarrh.
'Stuarts Catarrh Tablets were highly
recommended 10 me as safe and pleas
ant catarrh cure, and after using few
fifty-cent boxes, which l procured from
my druggists, I was surprised and de-
lighted TO find that both the catarrh
and headaches had gone for good"

they contain absolutely no cocaine found
In so many catarrh cures), no opium $50

stroy and drive from the system the
