may be said that the Northern Securities
company in New Jersey owns the con-
trolling interest in the stocks of both
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern.
The Northern Pacific and Great Northern
jointly own the stocks Of the Burlington
Railroad company. The property of the
Burlington Railroad company is leased
to the Burlington Railway company in
consideration OF a guaranty of 8 per cent
on all the old stock of the Burlington
Railroad company. The necessity for or
ganizing the railway company is simply
to avoid difficulties imposed by present
laws. It is a piece of financial legerde-
main by which great industrial organizers
and spectators avoid the laws in prefer
ence to disobeying them. 4 It comes to
Iowa to secure a leaserof life and a GER
tificate of character, and in order that it
may do all the various acts which it's
plan necessitates 1t must get changes in
Iowa laws. % 81 %e z.E2@
If these changes are not made it would
seem that the plans of the merger or
ganizers will be seriously interfered with.
They have sent their ablest Representatives
here to present the case and induce the
legislature to make the desired changes.
The question is up to Iowa legislators
whether they will yield as the merger
organizers ask, while the other states con-
cerned in this consolidation are fighting
it with every resource. 1t is evident from
the foregoing resume Of the legal situa-
ton and from the urgency with which the
Hubbard and Molsberry amendments are
pressed, that these two apparently unim-
portant changes of Iowa law are of the
greatest Importance toward carrying out
this gigantic scheme.

Ing some organ or passage of the body.
A remedy that would act Immediately
upon the congested mucous membrane, re-
storing it to it's normal state, would con-
sequently cure all these diseases. Catarrh
is catarrh wherever located, whether it
be in the head, throat, lungs, stomach,
kidneys or pelvic organs. A remedy that
will cure it in one location will cure it in
all locations.
Peruna is such remedy. The Sisters
of Charity know this. When catarrhal
diseases make their appearance they are
not disconnected, but know exactly what
remedy to use. These wise and prudent
Sisters have found Peruna a never-fail-
ing safeguard They realize that when
a disease is of catarrhal nature, Peruna IS
the remedy. Dyspepsia and female weak
ness are considered by many to be entire
ly different diseases-that dyspepsia is
catarrh of the stomach and female weak
ness is due to catarrh of the pelvic or
gans the Sisters are fully aware, conse-
quently Peruna is their remedy in both
these very common and annoying diseases.
If you do not receive prompt and salts

full statement of your case, and he will

A new preparation for the cure of catarrh
has attracted much attention in the past few
months, and has met with great favor from
the medical profession, not only because it
is remarkably successful in the cure of ca
tarrh, but also because 1t Is not secret
patent medicine; any one using it knows just
what he is taking into his system.
1t is composed Of blood root, which acts on
the blood and mucous membrane; hydrastin,
for same purpose, to clear the mucus from
head and throat, and red gum Of eucalyptus
tree, to destroy catarrhal germs in the blood
All of these antiseptic remedies are COM
bined in the form OF pleasant tasting tablet
or lozenge, and are sold by druggists under
name OF Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and many
recent tests in chronic catarrh cases have es-
tablshed its merit beyond question.
DR.. Sebring states that he has discarded
inhalers, sprays and washes and depends en-
tirely upon Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in treat
ing nasal catarrh. He says: II have had
patients who had lost the sense of smell en-
tirely, and whose hearing was also impaired
from nasal catarrh, recover completely after
few weeks use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
I have been equally successful with the rem
catarrh of the stomach L can only
explain it on the principle that catarrh is a
constitutional disease, and that the antisep-
tic properties in these tablets drive the ca
tarrhal poison completely out of the system -
DIR. 50dell says: Il have cured many cases
OF catarri OF stomach in past four months
by the use OF Stuart's Catarrh Tablets alone,
without the use Of any other remedy and
without dieting. The tablets are especially
useful in nasal catarrh and catarrh of the
throat, clearing the membranes and overcom-
ing the continual hawking, coughing and ex-
pectorating. 50 disgusting and annoying to
cstarrh sufferers. !" s.

the property and consolidate 1t with the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific. He
pointed out the advantages of such an
arrangement, giving the Burlington on
the one hand, and his roads on the other,
largely increased traffic because of the
close relations Dickering was carried ON
for a long time between the Hill interests
and the Burlington management. AS a
result Mr. Hill finally induced the direc-
tors Of the Burlington to recommend
shareholders to accept proposition which
Hill made. That proposition was recon-
mended because it was believed to be a
good thing for the Burlington sharehol-
ders. In substance it was that Burling-
ton shareholders deposit their shares
with the Standard Trust company of New
York, trustee, under long and carefully
drawn agreement of trust. This agree
ment was written by Richard Olney with
the especial purpose Of conserving the
interests of Burlington shareholders.

A Prominent Mother Superior Says:
Il can testify from experience to the
efficiency of Peruna as one of the very
best medicines, and it gives me pleasure
to add my praise to that of thousands
who have used it. For years I suffered
with catarrh of the stomach, all remedies
proving valueless for relief. Last spring
went to Colorado, hoping to be bene
fitted by a change Of climate, and while
there, friend advised me to try Peruna.
After using two bottles I found myself
very much improved. The remains of my
old disease being now so slight, consider
myself cured, yet for while 1 intend to
continue the use of Peruna. I am now

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 22.-Among tho
prominent men now in the city are John
L. Owen John G. Owen and Eugene Shaw
of Eau Claire, and N. @. Foster Of Fair

been prominently identified with the lum1-
Der interests Of the badger state for many
years, are visiting the various lumber
manufacturing plants in Tacoma. They
will remain in Tacoma and vicinity for
several days.
The object of their visit is to secure
timber lands in Washington and engage

backed by large capital, but owing to
the growing scarcity of timber in Wis

Correspondence of The Journal.
London, Feb. S.--Lord Kitchener is like
~ soon to be the most prominent figure
in the news. The long, slow, hard job
of drawing a net around De Wet and a
handful OF other Boer commanders is al
most completed, and although British
military experts long ago gave UP making
blythe predictions about the capture of
the Boer Aguinaldo, they admit that the
chances OF getting him are now better
than they ever have been before.
This is dramatic hour in Lord tKitch-
ener's exciting career. Signs are not
wanting that il he gets De Wet and thus
brings the war practically to close,
the glory awaiting him here will be even
greater than that poured out upon Lord
Roberts. It is not likely that there would
be any such fierce, wild jubilation over
the capture of De Wet as there was in
