Stephen d. Peet, editor of the
American Antiquarian, 5817 Madison
Ave. Chicago in aletter to Mrs. Sibert
recalls the fact that he was pastor Of
a Cresco church at one time. The ed
itOr of the PLAIN DEALER remembers
the fact distinctly. IIe came as the
successor of Rev. J. w. Windsor, and
nearly all the mem berS of that church
at that time have crossed the silent
river. At that time the Rev
Peet instead of digging into ancient
muonds and exploring the mysteries
of the cliff-dwellers and portraytng The
ruined cities of the world, over the
signature of '*' undertook an abusive
political controversy with the then,
and presentation of the PLAIN DEAL
Err, who, in an article under the title
Twinkle, twinkle little =" for the
time, extinguished that luminary.
We are glad to note that the Rev.
Stephen D. Peet is engaged in better
work, for which he is eminently quail
itied, and where we trust his labors
may be crowned with success.

The antipathy Of the gold democrats
for the populists may be accounted
for in the fact that the populist voted
the democratic ticket in 1895 and in
1900 while the gold democrats general

the populists voted the republican
ticket the gold democrats would cheer
fully fuse with them.

Wheeler, of Kentucky, Stands by
His Recent Speech.
SAYS he Has NOTHING TO RETRACT.
Declares, However, He Meant No Dis
respect to Germany or to Prince
Henry-Sequel to Recent Epi-
sode in the house.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The speech of
Mr.. Wheeler (Ky.) in the house last
Friday, when he bitterly assailed Sec
rotary Hay and Lord Pauncefote, and
criticised the official preparations for
the reception of Prince Henry, had a
sequel in the house Tuesday during
the debate on the Indian appropria-
ton bill. Mr.. Gillet (Mass.) in half
hours speech, declared that the in
temperance of Mr.. Wheeler's language
carried it's own condemnation. Never
theless, he (Gillet) grieyously deplored
such an affront to a foreign country.
During the course of the speech two
democrats-Robinso Qnd.) and Thay-
er (Mass,) disclaimed any sympathy
with Mr.. Wheeler's utterances. These
disclaimers drew from Mr.. Talbert Is.
CO. the statement that he desired to
share in the responsibility of the
speech, every word of which he said
he indorsed.
Wheeler Replies.
Mr.. Wheeler replied to Mr.. Gillet.
He disclaimed any idea that on last
Friday he had spoken for any one ex-
cept himself, though he believed that
many people believed as he did. He
said he had innumerable letters and
kilograms from different parts of the
country containing unstinted praise of
his speech. For himself, he said, he
preferred to tell the truth, no mat
ter how unpalatable it might be. Adj
verting to the statements made by
Mr.. Grosvenor and Mr.. Gillet last Fri
day about the visit of the prince of
Wales during the Buchanan admins
tration, Mr.. Wheeler declared that
those statements were absolutely in
correct. He said President Buchanan
had received the prince as private
individual and had borne the expense
out of his own pocket; he had even
paid the cost of government revenue
cutter used on that occasion.
Objects to Trueulency.
He said that he never had objected to
receiving distinguished foreigner
with proper consideration. What he
objected to was the spirit of trucu-
lency and sycophancy that had char
acterized this and the preceding ad-
ministration, especially in the con
duct of the state department. Refer
ring to the communication that he
had received he said that nine-tenths
of them were from northern states
and great majority of them from re.

MISS DUNLAP'S TRIAL
Aledo Girl to Face Jury on MUIR
der Charge Next
Monday.
DEATH FROM POISONED CANDY
Accused and Deceased Had Been
Bosom Friends-Story
of Case.

Miss Tona Dunlap will be placed on
trial next Monday at Aledo, charged
with causing the death of Miss Allie
Dool. They had been bosom friends
and among the most popular girls in
Aledo.
When suspicion pointed to Miss
Dunlap she found many supporters
and several weeks passed in the ac-
emulation of evidence by the states
attorney before the authorities ven
tured to take her into custody. The
preliminary trial before a Justice of
the peace resulted in her discharge
from custody, but later the states at
torney presented the evidence TO the
grand jury and Miss Dunlap was in
dicted.
Miss Dools death was caused by
eating poisoned chocolates said to
have been. given to her by Miss Dun
lap. According to the story that was
told at the time by Miss Dunlap she
and Miss Dool visited two drug stores
in the town and purchased choco-
lates at both places.
Becomes Violently Ill
At the store of r. y. Miner the can
dy was kept in wooden buckets on
the counter. Miss Dool complained
of the bitterness in the candy when
Miss Dunlap gave it to her. Miss Dun
lap agreed that it tasted queerly
when the complaint was made by her
friend. \ few moments after eating
the candy Miss Dool became violently
i'll and told the drug clerk that she
| thought il was his candy that had
caused her illness. One piece from
which she had taken bite was secur-

CHANGE OF CLIMATE

Not Necessary In Order to Cure Catarrh.
The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh is a change of eli
mate is n mistake. because catarrh is
found in all climates in all sections of
the country; and even if n change of
climate should benefit for n time the
catarrh will certainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured in any
climate, but the only way to do it is
to destroy or remove from the sys-
tenn the catarrhal germs which cause
all the mischief.
The treatment by inhalers, sprays,
powders and washes has been proven
almost useless in making a perma-
nent cure, as they do not reach the
seat of disease, which is in the blood
and can be reached only by an inter
nal remedy which acts through the
stomach upon the blood and system
generally.
\ new discovery which is meeting
with remarkable success in curing ca
tarrh of the head, throat and bron-
chial tubes and also catarrh of the
stomach, is sold by druggists under
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets. which are pleasant
and harmless to take, owe their effi-
cheney to the active medicinal prin-
ciples of blood root, red gum and
new specific called guaiacol. which,
together with valuable antiseptics,
are combined in convenient, palata-
BILE tablet form. and as valuable for
children as for adults.

my nostrils We're almost always
clogged up; had to breathe through
the mouth, causing an infiamed, irri-

digestion.

customers who had been cured of ca

Abraham Ziegler, Piedmont, Wayne
County, Mo-, writes:
"My wife who is now eighty-seven
years old, suffered for about sixteen
years from severe catarrh of the head,
which affected her sight and hearing.
1 saw Pe-ru-ra advertised in your al
manac, and testimonials similar to her
case attracted my attention. I got one
bottle and it helped her SO much that
she is now using the second bottle and
she thinks it is something wonderful.
Her hearing and sight are both in part
restored. Abraham Ziegler.
In old age the mucous membranes be-
come thickened and partly lose their
function. This leads to partial loss of
hearing, smell and taste, as well as di-
gestive distur Dances. Pe-ru-na corrects
all this by its specific operation on all
the mucous membranes of the body.
One bottle will convince anyone. Once
used and Pe-ru-na becomes a lifelong
standby with old and young.

factory results from the use of Peruna,

vealed. 1t was some days after Miss
Dool died before suspicion was di-
rected against Miss Dunlap, as no
motive for the crime was known to
exist.
Subsequent investigation proved
that Miss Dunlap had purchased five
cents worth of strychnine on two
occasions shortly before the poison
ing of Miss Dool. These puchases she
explained by saying that she used
the drug for corn remedy. In this
assertion she was upheld by her
mother.
