MISS LIZZIE SNEkTHING
@~-N
Dr.. Hartman. the Famous GynReoiosist
and Inventor of Pe-ru-na Offers to
Treat Women Free During the Sum.
mer Months.

America is the land of nervous
women. The great majority OF nery-
Gus women are so because they are suf-
fering from some form of female dis
ease. By far the greatest number OF
female troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble
is so common, so prevalent, that they
accept it as almost inevitable. The
greatest obstacle in the way of recov-
ery is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness. In female complaint,
ninety-nine cases out of one hundred
are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located.
The following letter was recently
received:
1856 W. 5sth st., New York City.
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.
Gentlemen.-"What bread and meat
means to the hungry Peruna means to
the sick. Tt is an especially valuable
medicine for sick women. Ihave found
that no medicine SO quickly restores
health and places the body in normal
condition. I but voice the sentiments
of women who were once sick, but are
now in perfect health.
MISS LIZZIE SNEATH1NG.
All women who are in doubt as to
what their trouble is should write DR..
Hartman, Columbus, Ohio. Give him a
full description of your trouble, pre-
vious treatment, symptoms and age.
He will promptly reply with full direc-
tons for treatment free of charge.
This is an opportunity which no ailing
woman should miss. DIR. Hartman has
become renowned through his success
in treating women's diseases. His ex-
perience in these matters is vast. Cor
respondence is strictly confidential.
No testimonials published without
written consent. DR.. Hartman relies
principally upon Peruna in these cases.

drawn up bill takfxg the assessment
Of property out of the hands of officers
the hands of high-salaried set Of ap.
pointed officials.
Eleventh-We demand that railroad
property shall be assessed at as high
rate as the property of natural citizens.
We call attention to an increase OF mil
lions of dollars in railroad charges since
the railroad law enacted by the last pop
ulist legislature was wiped out by repub-
lean partisans on the bench
Twelfth-We favor graduated taxation,
state insurance and reduction of the ex-
travagant expenditures for state printing
by the establishment of a printing plant
owned by the state.
Thirteenth-We- regard the continuous
and persistent effort of the American.
Book company, through the connivance
and subserviency of certain officials and
of agents and employees of that school
book trust, to destroy our textbook
law, the most dangerous and cor
rupting influence pervading this state,
as it attempts to destroy the usefulness
of our excellent school system; and we
demand of the next legislature rigid
examination of it's methods and an ex-
posture of its acts and of the officials it
has corrupted and is using to accomplish
its purpose.
Fourteenth Realizing that all political
reform is initiated by the Independent
voter, and that all looting of the public
treasury and official boodling are carried
on by the partisan, we denounce w. ].
Bailey, the republican nominee for gov
ernor, for his oft repeated statement that
"the Independent voter is a bush
whacker."
Fifteenth-We congratulate the people
of the state upon the record of Mayor
w. H. Craddock, of Kansas City, Kan,
in his efforts to secure an equitable
basis of taxation for the public corpora
tons of his city.
Sixteenth-The course of Senator w. A.
Harris in national legislature COM
mands the hearty approval of every hon.
est and fair-minded citizen, regardless
of party affliation, and we pledge our
selves to do all in our power to secure his
reelection to the position he now adorns.
venteenth-Resolved, That we approve
the attitude of the Farmers Advocate
in it's fight for the interests Of the pro-
ducing classes, and urge all peoples par
ty men to subscribe for it.
These separate resolutions were
also adopted:
Resolved, too, That we sincerely mourn
the death of President Mckinley and de-
nounce the assassination one of the
most monstrous crimes in history
Resolved, That we demand the stamp

vigorous brood of murderous anarchists

ION TO JERUSALEM"
Many Delegates to International Sunday
School Convention Want to Meet In
the Holy City In 1908.

Denver, Col, June 25.-"On to Je-
rusalem in 1906" is the cry that has
been raised by number of the Sun
lay School workers who have ar
rived here to attend the Internation-
al Sunday School convention which
will open Wednesday evening. The
crusade in favor of holding the 1905
convention in the Holy City is headed
by Nine. Mountford, who is the only
delegate to the convention from Pal
estine. She claims that a meeting of
the convention in Jerusalem in 1905
would be an object lesson for the
world that would do much toward
the advancement of the Sunday
school. The illness which will pre-
vent the attendance of President

AMERICA CALLED IMMORAL.
Pamphlets Di1atinE ON Wfckedness
I'm the United States Given Wide
Circulation in Berlin.

A pamphlet by Felix Baumann is
having an extra ordinary circulation at
Berlin. It is entitled"In Darkest Unit
ed States" and contains extravagant
descriptions of the immortality alleged
to exist in American cities. There are
long chapters on New York, Chicago,
New Orleans, and San Francisco. The
writer has raked together accounts of
cruel lynchings. police briberies, and
the sale of justice in cities. He con-
tends that the United States is more
deeply immoral than any other coun-
try in the world, and warns Germans,
especially women. against emigrating
to such an evil atmosphere. The
black cover of the pamphlet is con-
spicuos on every news stand. The
stars and stripes are emblazoned on it.

IN FAR-oFF PROVINCES.

The island of Sakhalin, the great
penal colony of Russia, has splendid
forests of fir and pine.
Bamboo in Java makes an effective
poison, the hairs on the young roots
being mixed with food.
Kent's county council has decided
that baby carriages should carry lights
at night, as the language of the
statute regulating the lighting of We
hicles is general enough to cover per-
ambulators.
Greek architects have decided that
the Erechtheum at Athens must be
restored if it is to be preserved. The
RESERVATIONS will be limited to
strengthening the building and to put
ting in place the fragments about it.
1t is one of the traits of the Chi
nese to handle the things they use
very carefully, and hence cheap and
poorly made articles will last much
longer in service than with most peo-
pie. Goods made in China would be
of little value for use by Americans.

ELEVATED AMERICAN SOIL.
Scientist Reports That Land I'm Penn.

Martinique Disturbance

The contention OF biologists that
the recent seismic disturbances in
Martinique would not only affect terri
tory adjacent to Martinique, but
would also be noticed in this country,
S borne out by the following letter
sent by Col. H c. Deming, of the United
States geological survey, to Charles d.
Walcott, director of the United States
geological survey, Washington, ID. c.:
During the past month have taken
at various places in Pennsylvania in my
geological work number of eleva-
tions above sea level, and have found
n every case where elevations had
been taken previously that the present
figures show higher elevations than
before. It is possible that this is due
to the seismic disturbances in the
Martinique and other islands south
eastwardly from the United States. I
found the variation to be from two
inches to more than "a on comparing
