4 NEW DEAL PENDING

Berlin, Dec. 1.-The published state
ment that Germanys claims against
Venezuela amount to $4,000. 900 is, the
correspondent of the Associated Press is
officially Informed, incorrect. While the
German government is not yet ready to
publish the details of its demands, per-
sons who have seen the papers say the
total is about 1000, 600 President Cas-
tro represents to Germany that Vene-
zuela has little credit abroad, that the
country is just emerging from a civil
war during which planting and indus
try were partially ruined and that
therefore no matter how much Vene-
zuela may desire to satisfy Immediately
the claims against her it is obviously
impossible Hence an agreement of the
subject must provide for deferred pay
ments. The seizure of the customs
would thereby deprive the government
of an important means to administer the
country and would add to the disorder
While President Castro's proposals are
not disclosed there is reason to believe
that they include the emission of bonds
at a moderately high rate of interest
with some sort of a guarantee that If
the interest of the installments of the
principal are defaulted certain Vene-
over by Germany Nothing is known
here of the plans of Isaac Seligman of
New York for floating a Venezuela loan.
He has not approached this government
in the matter
There is no disposition here to pro-
coed with harsh measure toward Vene-
zuela if nilder ones will suffice to ex-
act satisfaction. but the German gov
eminent is fully committed in the inten-
ton to obtain ample satisfaction. The
claimants are constantly urging the
government to press the collection of the
amounts due them, not only because of
the sums involved. but it is represented.
in view of the fact that the long delay
has rendered the position of Germans in
Venezuelan more and more vexatious.
Therefore it is claimed that the govern
ment must strike and strike hard in
order to properly protect their inter-
eSts.

FOR A FOSTER BUILDING.
Plans to Erect One May Be at Last
Realized.

At an informal gathering of members
of the Foster Humane society held in
the office of Sam Radges in the Office
block Monday afternoon plans We're
talked over looking to the carrying out
of the proposal first made by the late
Judge Foster for the erection of a build
ing to be devoted entirely to the use OF
the society in caring for MANNED, Grip
pied or abandoned animals or those
which in any way have been mistreated
and need attention. Plans TO this end
have been only started. but it is proba-
bic that a building of brick or stone will
be erected on the lot which the society
owns in the middle of the block between
Ninth and Tenth streets. on the west
side of Kansas avenue, to cost in the
neighbOrhOod OF $40 600.
1t is stated that about 81, 700 is already
al hand for this purpose and it is be-
ieved that the remainder can be raised
so that there will be no difficulty in Sc
curing sufficient sum with which to
put up the structure This plan of car
ing for animals that need attention is
not new. in the larger cities In San
Francisco the humane sociey lately
completed a building to be devoted to
this purpose and there are others scat
tered here and there over the country
At the Monday afternoon session it
was impossible for some of the DromIn-
ent members to be present and the cleo
ton of officers which was to have been
taken place was postponed until next
Saturday afternoon at O'Clock The
report on work by Special Officers Kill
maurs and Thomas D. H. KIM. for the
time from December Is. 1901. to Deem
Der l. 1902, was the only other matter
which received the attention of these
members of the society who gathered
Monday afternoon The results are
grat ffying so far as the work is con-
Quoted, but it is not as extensive as Is
hoped. The report follows:

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause. Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom. an indication
of arrangement or disease in some or
gan. and the cause of the headache is
difficult to locate because so many dis
eases nave headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement Of the stomach
and liver. heart trouble. kidney disease,
lung trouble eye strain or i'll fitting
glasses all produce headaches and if we
could always locate the organ which is
at fault the cure of obstinate headaches
would be a much simpler matter.
However. for that form of headache
called frontal headache. pain back of
the eyes and in forehead, the cause is
now known to be catarrh IF the head,
and throat; when the headache IS To-
Gated in back of head and neck it is
often caused from catarrh of the stom-
ach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most com
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh SO convenient and effective as

of anti-septics like red gum. blood root
which act upon the blood and cause the

for years but never thought it was the
cause of my headaches, but finally be-
came convinced that such was the case
because the headaches were always
worse whenever I had a cold or fresh
