PREDICTS LOWER PRICES.
Agent OF Agricultural Department Says
Anti Oieo Bill Did Not Increase
Cost of Butter.

Topeka, Kan, June 7.-R. A. Pear,
SON, assistant chief Of the dairy di-
vision, bureau of animal industry
of the United States department Of
agriculture, does not agree with
with those who claim that the recent
advance in the price of butter was
due to the operations of the so
called creamery trust" or the pas
sage Of the Grout oleomargarine bill.
He believes that it resulted from the
small production of butter during
the past 10 months. Now that the
pastures in the dairy states are be-
coming good he thinks that within
the next four weeks the output of
butter will increase to such an ex-
tent as TO force down the price ma
tcrially.

the resolution was tabled.
A letter from the secretary of war
appears in the report submitted by
Chairman Hull. Secretary Root states
that Secretary Alger made an allow
ance to Gen. Brooke, out of the
revenues of Cuba, of $1,000 a year,
and continues: "When Gen. Woods

unteers expired 1 made an order
for further allowance, equal to the
difference between the salary of ma
jor general and brigadier general,
the combined compensation received
as an officer Of the army and as gov
ernor of Cuba being always $4,000
per annum. I see that the Cuban
congress has voted that Mr.. Palma's
salary shall be $25,0O0." Secretary

ton.

THE VERDICT STANDS.
Minnesota Supreme Court Holds That In
Trial Giri's Beauty Does Not
Count Against Her.

st. Paul, Mimi, June THE su-
preme court of Minnesota has de-
cided that girls beauty is not to be
counted against her, and that If a
jury is influenced by the comeliness
Of a fair plaintiff it is not for the
courts to deprive her of her natural
advantages. This ruling was made
indirectly yesterday morning in the
case of Emma Koplitz against the
city of St. Paul. The girl was in
jured by an accident while on a
coaching party and sued the city, al
leging a defective road. She was
awarded a verdict of $500 and the
city appealed, alleging that her
beauty was what influenced the jury
The supreme court denies new
trial and the verdict stands.

Paying Delinquent Taxes.

If, during the next four years,
taxes, both delinquent and current,
are paid up as rapidly as they have
been during the past four years, Kan
sas will have large balance in the
treasury. Frank Grimes, state
treasurer, issued statement show
ing that there is less than S65,000 in
delinquent taxes due the state, where
four years ago the amount was over
S375,O0O. This large reduction is due
mainly to the law passed by the legis-
lature in 1899. providing that no
money should be paid for the care
of destitute insane to counties which
were in arrearages for taxes, but
that the amount due should be cred
tied upon the county's tax account.
As O result of the enforcement of
this rule $25O,ooo in delinquent taxes
was collected.

The great popularity OF Peruna as
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found in
many drug-stores. These remedies can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at uniform price, and NO
druggist can get 1t cent cheaper.
Thus IT is thatdruggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done every
