Dr. k. Robbins. Physician and Sur geon of Muslsogee, Indian Ter, writes;
 II have been a praeticing physician for a good many years and was always slow to take hold of patent medicines. but this winter my little girl and my self were taken with the grip. I was so bad l was not able to sit up. 1 sent for doctor but he did me no good.
 Finally l sent and got bottle of Peruna and commenced to take it. took two bottles and my cough was gone and my lungs loosened up and my head became clear. My little girl took the same way.

UP TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Cuban situation Calls for Im- mediate Action on the Part
 of Nr. Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt owes il to him. self and 10 the country 10 manifest tls determination upon fair play and hamane dealing toward Cuba by exert ing hiS utmost influence in behalf of sufficient reduction of tariff duties on Cnban products to avert the disasters ROW threatening that island, says the St Louis Republic
 The high protectionists in the Fifty SeFenth congress have made this ac ton imperative on the presidents part. Either he must now accept their distinct and most insolent challenge to test of strength. or he must con- fess that when matters come to so for udable an issue he fears 10 oppose he policies of that element in his party.
 Mr. Roosevelt cannot yie,d to the protectjonistS without stultifXing him self. He k on record as being earnest ly in favor of affording relief to Cuba ty a reduction of the tariff on Cuban products. If he now dodgeS the logic of the situation, weakening because hls own policy is attacked by pow erful republican clique in congress. the American people will be bitterly disappointed in him. They have count ed on Mir Roose evelt as having The cour- age of hi, convictions. They have been confident of the unbending quality of the Roosevelt backbone.
 The president has it in his power to avert the pitiful wronging of Cuba by this government. The American peo- pie wi' stand Loyalty by him if he is resolved to keep the national honor clean of the stain which will else be placed upon il by the contemplated sin against a helpless people. His infiu- ence as president will weigh heavily on the protectionist clique if he is brave enough to exert ii in the open and make d bold fight on the Cuban tariff reduction issue. He can frighten the protectionistS into rightful action. The solemn pledge of the United States government for just dealing with Cuba demands this action of the president. MT. Roosevelt's own utterauces have committed him to a course which makes impossible a change of attitude without qualification. The country waits to hear from the president. What is his policy to-day with regard 10 the keeping of our word to Cuba?
 While Senator Burrows is tear ing passion to tatters because Gen. Wood has ''lobbied" in behalf of tariff concessions to Cuba he and his excited colleagues have forgotten the issue. Has Wood told the truth? That's the main question. Everything else is froth. The average citizen does not waste his time in splitting hairs. It does not give him spasms to learn that some of the requirements of red tape have been disregarded. If Gen. Wood is right the country ought to know it. If he is wrong the country ought to know it. After the main question has been decfled the senate may have some excuse for discussing the meth ods employed by Gen. Wood to make the Cuban situation known to the country.-Detroit Free Press.

AMERICAN MISSIONARIES
IN NO PERIL IN MEXICO

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 30.-The mission
aries at Catorce, whose case has been
matter of diplomatic action, have sent
communication to the Mexican Herald
saving that although they were threaten
ed with death If they did not leave the
town by the 10th instant, they have been
amply protected by the municipal govern
rnent and have received assurances re-
garding protection by many of the re-
spectacle citizens. Menaces were made
by a few ignorant fanatical and wholly
irresponsible persons who have no right
whatever in Catorce, which is an import
ant mining town.
When the 10th national independence
day arrived the authorities of the town
took great precautions to avoid trouble
and so careful were they that the good
behavior of the populace was remark
able, only two arrests being made. The
missionaries say:
1--WE have nothing but praise for the
government and the liberty-loving citi-
gems. We have been kindly treated since
our arrival here by the better class of
citizens and the municipality has always
furnished us ample protection against the
disturbing element"
This communication will set at rest all
reports defogatory to the municipality of
Catorce and shows that the Mexican au-
thorities afford Americans proper protec-
ton.

TO PROVE CORRECT
- THE COTTON REPORT

MACON, Ca, Oct. 1.-Mr. E. c. Sam
mis-, Of the United States department OF
agriculture. who has been in the city for
several days, finished his work today.
Mr.. Sammis was sent out by the depart
ment at Washington to ascertain what
amount of cotton was sold In the state
of Georgia before August 81, 1902. The
government is making the investigation
in order to explain the difference of the
ectimate oil the cotton crop of last year
made by Statistician John Hyde Of the
department and that made by H. D. Hes
ter, secretary of the New Orleans cotton
exchange. The government report placed
the crop at $50, 900 bales, but the COM
mercial report was 10,OO0,6S0 bales.
Mr.. Hyde claims that the difference in
the estimate of about 100000 bales Is due
70 the fact that the commercial report in
cluded a great deal of cotton which be-
longed to the present crop more especially
because of the early harvest this year.
Mr.. Sammis says that he finds that
3,617 bales were sold in Macon before Au-
gust 81 and that he expected to find some
thing like the same figures in other mar
kets of the state. In this way, by taking
account of all the new cotton that went
into the count for last year. he expected to
prove that the governments report was
correct.

FOR POOR OF NEW YORK
COAL MAY RELIEVE COLD

NEW YORK, Oct. IA plan is said to
have been put into operation, at the
meeting of coal roads presidents just
held in this city, for the supplying of
coal, first to the jewellers in the tene-
ment districts; second, to the hospitals,
and, third, to the transportation COM
panies.
According to The Herald the scheme
came up during the weekly discussion
OF the miners strike and the presence
of Robert w. DeForest, who is tenement
house commissioner. president of the
charity organization society, and general
counsel of the Central railway of New
Jersey, was that the other officials might
have placed before them the tenement
dwellers' crying need of fuel In cold
weather.
Mr.. DeForest was listened to atten-
lively, and there was not one of the
dozen present who did not agree that
something must be done. Before the
matter was turned over to the sales
agents of the companies who, in co-opera-
ton with Mr.. DeForest, will decide on
the best possible methods of proceeding
with the work, tentative plan had been
outlined by the meeting.
II was. in effect that the companies
should unite in forwarding to the city
enough coal to serve the desired pur-
noses. Then the sales agents were to
have their men, horses and carts ready,
and for each cart a route through the
lowliest sections of the city would be
mapped out. In this way the business
of the retail dealers would not be af-
fected, as their sales are not made in
these locations.
The coal will be sold by the pail or
the basket, or bushel, at rate proper
tionate to the wholesale price TO which
the cost OF freightage has been added.
This WIN insure to the purchaser who
now paws q cents for pail of poor coal,
or IS cents for a bushel, good coal at
less cost than he had TO pay even be-
fore the strike began, and when coal was
at its normal price.
With this want filled, the diminishing
bins of the various hospitals will be
replenished and the street railways viii
be supplied.

SHARP WILL LIKELY.
MAKE RACE FOR
CONGRESS
CHATTANOOGA REPUBLICAN
POSTMASTER WILL ANNOUNCE
AGAINST MOON, DEMOCRAT,
THIS WEEK, IT'S SAID.

CHATTANOOGA, Oct 1.-The Repub-
lican congressional committee OF 1.-THE
third division met yesterday morning in
the office of Postmaster r. S. Sharp
and was in session for several hours.
The matter of putting out a candidate
for congress had been referred to the
committee by the convention, but no
definite action was taken yesterday.
However, ii may be stated with a con-
siderable degree of certainty that Post
master Sharp viii make the race as the
nominee of the Republicans.
The committee endeavored to secure
the consent of Mr.. Sharp to accept the
nomination yesterday, the consensus of
opinion being that the Republicans had
a fine chance to win If he would take the
race. They urged him to start in at once
and make a vigorous canvass. How
ever, he stated that he had been out of
the city for some days and had not had
time to think over the matter and asked
that he be given a few days in which
to make I'D his mind. The committee
therefore adjourned to meet upon the
call of the chair.
The convention did not make a nominal
ton on account of the fact that no gen.
tleman was willing to take a losing race
and pay the entire campaign expenses
out of his own pocket However, the
finances have been secured in some way.
It was proposed in the convention that
they be secured from the national cam
paign committee, and, though it is denied
that anything came from that source,
still it is the general opinion that the
Republicans of the district have secured
quite a sum from the national commit
tee to be used in the race. 1t is known
that Mr.. Sharp would not take the race
unless the funds were ample. 1t is learn
ed from his close friends that he has
decided to become the candidate and that
he will be so declared some time this
week
Mr. Sharp will not resign his position as
postmaster here. 1t is stated that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's civil service policy has
changed to suit present conditions. The
internal revenue collector at Knoxville
and the district attorney at Nashville
both have races on their hands and re-
tain their positions. so that Mr.. Sharp
will do the same. Postmaster Sharp made
the race two years ago and was defeated
by majority of 1.6Oo which is very small
for this division, so that he Is regarded
by the Democrats as very formidable
candidate.

said that he thought that the other $50 be-
side the S. loaned as principal was for
