son it cures kidney disease Is because 1t cures catarrh Catarrh of the kidneys Is the cause of most kidney disease. Peruna cures catarrh wherever 1t happens to be located. It rarely falls.
 President Louisiana Commercial ciub-
 Hon. William Watson washburn, presi- dent of the Louisiana Commercial club and a very well known man of New Dr. leans La. writes from 6S7 Canal street;
 "I am satisfied that there IS not a finer medicine placed before the public today than Peruna. I have been troubled for nearly twelve years with kidney and liver trouble, and at times I have been a pretty sick man, unable to attend to my duties.
 T had about made up my mind that no medicine could help me, when one of your booklets was brought to my office, which l read in a leisure hour. l then decided to give Peruna trial, and found that I had at last secured the right medicine for me.
 For two months used it faithfully and then felt so well that I was like young man once more. This was over Q year ago, and I have not had any trouble since.
 Although am in the seventies, feel better and more active than I did thirty years ago.'-W. W. Washburn.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common Dis ease--kidney Trouble Often Falls to Be Resarde4 as catarrh By Phy- siclans.
 Catarrh of the kidneys Is very common indeed. It is a pity this fact is not better known to the physicians as well as the people,
 People have kidney disease They take some diuretic, hoping to get better. They never once think of catarrh. Kidney dis ease and catarrh are seldom associated in the minds of the people, and alas, it Is not very often associated in the minds of the physicians. Too few physicians recog- nize catarrh of the kidneys. They doctor for something else. They try this rem edy and that remedy. The trouble may be catarrh all the time. A few bottles of Peruna would cure them.
 Pe-ru-na Removes the Cause of the
 Kidney Trouble.
 Peruna strikes at the very center of the difficulty by eradicating the catarrh from the kidneys. Catarrh is the cause of lid- ney difficulty. Remove the cause ana you remove the effect. With unerring ac- curacy Peruna goes right to the spot. The kidneys are soon doing their work with perfect regularity.
 Thousands of Testimonials.
 Thousands of testimonials rom people who have had kidney disease which had gone beyond the control of the physician are received by Dr. Hartman every year, giving Peruna the whole praise for mar vicious cures.

PLACER MINING.

N II. Zahn and wife of San Fran
cisco, Calf, and Captain Warwick C.
Symondson and wife of Los Angeles,
are stopping in Durango on their way
home on business. About three
months ago, Mr.. Zahn and Captain
Symondson bought what was known
as the Atwood placers near the juno
tion of the Colorado and San Juan
rivers in Utah. seventy-five miles
west of Bluff City. for the Rose Gold
Reclamation company of which Mr.
Zahn is general manager. They are
also the owners of a new process Of
placer mining, with offices in San
Francisco. which has proved to be
just the thing to use on this gold sand
along the San Juan river. During
the three months or so that they have
been in Utah, thirty Navajo Indians
have been employed at a time at the
placers at salary of sl.5O per day.
They have suffered during the sum
mer from the same drought which has
prevailed all over this section. and the
scarcity of water along the San Juan
river has been the only drawback to
the progress of their work As they
were coming awav. however, rain be
gan to fall and cloudburst near Bluff
City gave everything good wetting.
and probably put plenty of water in
the San Juan river so that the work
will now go on without any further
trouble. They left large force of
men working on the placers.
When Mr.. Zahn and Captain Sy-
mondson came into the country
where the placers are located. they
took the Atlantic & Pacific railroad
through Arizona. stopping near Pres
colt, and going from there by stage
to their property on the Colorado
river. the journey occupying more
than two weeks. Returning. they
came by way of stage to Dolores and

week. They have found this way SC

THE STATE TREASURY
LOOTED BY FUSIONISTS

Denver Post; The state house has
been for the past year and half the
scene of pillage and plunder, the like
of which was never known before in
the history OF the state. possibly not
even during the regime OF the "robber
seventh general assembly.
Public officials. particularly the gov
ernor and auditor. have not only san :
TONED extravaganza. but have actually
violated laws in the spending OF the
taxpayers money.
y general Incidental fund of $751;
300, most of which was intended to
pay the state deETAOIN. nm. M.
pay the states deficiency claims. has
been nearly depleted in an effort to
reward political friends of the officials
with Jobs and to pay robber prices for
printing and binding.
In fact, an investigation OF affairs at
the capital will make the so-calied
printing steal at the court house look
Insignificant by comparison.
At least $4,000 of the incidental
fund has been absolutely squandered
In period OF fifteen months.
The Smith-Brooks Printing company
has received on warrants the sum of
s11S.O00 during the present admins
trntlon.
The limit allowed by the Legislature
for all printing outside OF the printing
of blanks and stationery, has been ex-
cecded in the sum of s20,1S427.
There has been expended for social.
ed incidentals of the several depart
ments 1924 ,239.sS In excess of the
500 600 appropriated for such purpose
by the legislature.
| A horde OF useless legislative
clerks were paid an aggregate of
1857 out of the incidental fund.
which is expressly limited to expendl-
lures of the executive and judicial de-
partments of the state government.
Thousands of dollars have been ille-
gally paid out for clerk hire in the all-
ditor's Office. the state board OF equali-
2ation and other departments.
Secretaries and clerks have been
drawing double salaries.
The list Of claims allowed by the

cess OF $4,000 over the amounts specI-

ing $4,000. were presented for pay

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-ProSecutions against
all the packing house concerns in the
West for violations of the provision of
the interstate commerce law against re-
ceiving preferential rates are contem-
plated by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission. This fact developed to-day dur
.ng an investiga ton begun by the Com
mission into the handling of packing
house products and dressed meats. it
also became apparent that the Commits
sion and the railway magnatcs of the
entire country practically HAD entered
into an alliance for me purpose of induc-
ne Congress to pass Legislation permit
ting the railroads to pool under certain
regulations by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and that 1t is believed such
/, law can and will .e passed
Tho third development of the day was
the announcement that the commission
had requested the attendance here to-day
of all the leading men in the advance
ment Of the community of interests, in
GLIDING J. Pierpont Morgan, J..J. Kill and
F. II. Hartman, and that if these failed
to respond to the request. harshers meas
ures would be taken to compel their COM
ing.
Evidences upon which to base prose-
cutions against the packers was obtained
in abundance Traffic managers and vice
presidents Of roads East and West threw
,rp their hands and admitted freely that
there was no pretense toward maintain
ing tariff rates on packing house pro-
Ducts and dressed meats for export or
domestic use except for Avery short
