A WONDERFUL CURE.

Wright City, Mo-, Dec. 3o.-Med-
zeal men are still wondering over the
Symes case, which has aroused such
a widespread interest in this neigh
borhood.
Mr.. Joseph G. Symes had suffered
very severely with Inhammatory Rheu,
matism, enduring pains which were
something terrible, and which made
it altogether impossible for him TO
work by day or rest or sleep at night.
In spite of all treatments he grew
worse and his case seemed to defy al
the usual remedies.
He began a treatment of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and very soon noticed q
marked improvement, which increased
as he kept on till six boxes were used
when he found himself without a trace
of pain or ache. He is now able to
work all day and sleep all night, and
his rapid and complete recovery is re-
garded by the doctors as little short
of a miracle.

WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION.
More than Eight Thousand Versions
Attend and Shake Hands
with the President.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Prcsident
Roosevelt's first public reception was
attended more largely than any New

years. In all $500 persons filed
through the White House and shook
hands with the president. Mr.. Roose.
Welt, IN being appraised that the crowd
in line outside the White House was
unusually large, gave orders hat the
gates should not be closed until the
last person desiring to do so had an
opportunity to pay his respects. The
reception began promptly at IL
o'clock, and it was $3.50 o'clock be-
fore the last person in line had been
quarter of an hour later before the
reception came to an end.

Though there was no general re-

WORLDS FAIR MODEL CITY.
Plans Being Developed that Will
Make an Interesting Exhibit
Mt st. Louis.

New York, Dec. 31.-An important
conference was held at the National
Art club, 81 West Thirty-fourth
street, Monday, for the purpose of
developing plans relative to the
"Model City" which is to be a part
of the st. Louis Worlds fair.
Mr.. Howard J.. Rogers, chief of the
economy, came from st. Louis to con.
suit with the special committee
which has had this matter in charge
for some months past, consisting OF
Mr.. Charles c. Height, chairman;
John De Witt Warner, Mr.. Charles II
Lamb, Mr.. Albert Kelsey, of Phila'
delphia, and Mr.. William S. Crandall
secretary.
One thing which the committee
does not purpose to do is to exhibit
n model city in miniature, although
many previous press dispatches have
read to that effect. On the contrary
it purposes to so incorporate tn,
model features and methods, which
are best adapted to the modern city
in the plan outlined by the exposition
authorities, that it will form an in
tegral part of the exhibition itself
This will in nowise interfere with tn,
general effect planned by the World!
fair.
The Administration building viii
be taken as the municipal center
around which will be grouped som,
of the most important administrativ
buildings found in a well-developet
city, such as public library, hospital
museum, public school, central fir
headquarters, central police head
quarters, and, at convenient point
on the grounds best adapted to sucl
uses, a garbage crematory, filtration
plant for purifying the water supply
etc.
Mr.. Rogers was surprised ant
pleased with the plans submitted t.
him, and declared that they coui,
not be more in keeping with the lay
out of the Worlds fair buildings ha,
they been especially adapted for tina
purpose.
a general plan was also outline
which will call for the laying of Gel
tain sample ~pavements of the variou
kinds in use in American cities, to
gether with everything else which /
used above the street, on the stree
or underneath the pavement, all o
which will be models of their kind. L
addition to these, there will be
classified exhibition first, showing II
municipal conditions as they are i
Americas; second, in the leading Ell
ropean cities. Then an endeavor wi
be made to make certain helpfu
comparisons between conditions ez
listing here and abroad. Besides til
concrete exhibits, there will be a co
lection of statistical matter arrange
on charts, maps and diagrams, whic
will be easily accessible, and a collet
ton of photographs of public built
ings, street scenes, park views an

Catarrh is an old cold. Even the
strongest and most robust are liable
to colds during the winter months.
A cold, if neglected, is almost certain
to cause catarrh of the head, which
rapidly spreads through the system,
setting up catarrh of the throat, lungs,
stomach or pelvic organs. What a

Peruna is such a remedy. If taken
at the first symptom of catching cold
it heals the catarrhal condition before
it becomes established and makes inn
possible a spread of the disease.
Should the cold be neglected and re-

it will take much longer and will result
