Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, will
probably have something to say in the
senate at the coming session on the
subject of immigration. He has recent
ly been at Ellis Island, looking over
conditions there affecting the immigra-
ton service. He is member of the
senate committee on immigration, and
it is expected that he will call up the
house bill to regulate immigration early
in the session for consideration by the
committee. 1t is subject that needs
frequent attention.

IOWAN'S SEVERE EXPERIENCE.
[Leon Journal.I
Mr.. Charles Dupree Smith, who ar
rived from South America on visit to
his family last Sunday, had a thrilling
experience on his home voyage. When
off the coast of Guatemala his ship
passed thru the region affected by the
terrible volcanic eruption of Santa Ma
ria on the date of Oct. 20, and the terror
of the scene will not be soon forgotten.
The appalling darkness caused by the
smoke and ashes may be imagined
when 1t is known that thirty tons of
the ashes We're removed from the ship
during the time. Mr.. Smith thinks our
government should extend aid to the
sorely stricken country.

IDenison Review
Under the circumstances it is practi-
cally superfuous to say so, but the
Review believes there should be and is
no question as to the denomination of
Governor A. b. Cummins. No anti
Cummins man can claim that he has
not made good, clean governor. There
is no more reason why factional oppo.
nents should indulge in the luxury of
an uncalled-for effort to embarrass Mr..
Cummins than there would have been
for like effort to prevent Governor
Shaw's second nomination. The Re-
view is unqualifiedly in favor of the
denomination of Mr.. Cummins, both for
reasons of party policy and because we
believe that one good turn deserves an
other.

ments. Undoubtedly the advertise
ments help some. But by far the great
est number of people who hear of Pc
runa, have their attention called to it
by a friend.
Some one gets cured of chronic ca
tarrh by Peruna. Afterh is certain of
his cure, he is sure to recommend it to
his friends. Friend recommends it to
friend and the news spreads from
tongue to tongue.
All the advertisements I'm the world
could not make Peruna as popular as
It's. Peruna cures. That Is the req
son people like It, Peruna cures a
very stubborn disease. That Is why
everyone recommends IL. Peruna

TO BE UNIVERSAL.
Within Three Years All Sections
Will Have Free Rural Delivery.
Forty Thousand Carriers VIII BE Required
There win He n Deficit for y Time,
hut Ultimately VIII he Self
Sustaining.

Washington, Nov. s.-The annual
gross cost of complete rural free
delivery service throughout the
United States will approximate $24,-
100000, according to the annual re-
port which First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Wynne yesterday re-
ceived from August w. Machen, the
general superintendent of the serv-
ice. The remaining 100000 square
miles not now covered by rural free
delivery service, according to the re-
port, will require the employment OF
$4,000 or $1,000 carriers in addition
to those now employed, making the
entire force Of carriers when the ex-
tension of the service is completed,
within the next three years 10000.
After this extension is completed the
annual rate of increase in the appro-
priations is expected not to exceed
eight or nine per cent, the rate
maintained in the other branches OF
the postal service. To extend the
service 10000 routes year until it
becomes UNIVERSAL the report says.
will require such largely increased
appropriations that the annual post
office deficits for the ensuing two or
three years will probably reach S.
100000 or S1O,0Oo,OOo, if not more;
but once the service is completed, the
additional revenue derived will soon
reduce the deficits to present fig
ures, if not entirely wipe them out.
During the year 1902 12,403 petit
tions for the service were filed, max
ing q total on July last of 22,646,
which excluded by over 1000 the to-
tai number during the preceding four
years. Since July petitions received
have averaged over 600 month.
On July 1 last the city free de-
livery service embraced 933 cities, in
GLIDING four in the insular posses
sions, and the total number of uni
formed letter carriers in the city
service was 1855 las against 16,3S9
the previous year.

Bonable demands Of Ireland In regard to

There was no country In the world
where crime was less frequent than In

been abolished.
