NASAL CATARRH CURED
Pe-ru-na Cures Case of Five Years Standing.

which all doctors agree, is that it Is dif
fcult TO cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure perms-
nently. Sprays or snuffs amount to
little or nothing except TO give tempo
rary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in inter
nal organs which cannot be reached by
any sort Of local treatment. All this IL
known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal rem
cdy which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently from
the systcm-this has been the desire Of
the medical profession for 4 long time.
Forty years ago DR.. Hartman confronted
this problem. He believed then that lie
had solved it. He still believes he has
solved it. lie cures thousands Of people
annually. During all these years Pc
runa has been the remedy upon which
he has relied.
1t was at first private Prescription,
afterwards manufactured expressly for
him in large quantities. This remedy,
Pcruna, is now TO hc found in every drug
store and nearly every HON" in the land,
1t is the only reliable internal remedy
ever devised to cure any cG.' e catarrk,
however long the case may have been
standing.

Will FIX NO Time
Senate Committee Deals State
hood Bill Hard Blow.

Washington, May 28.-The senate COM
mittee on territories today decided by
a formal vote against fixing any time
for the consideration of the omnibus
statehood bill, providing for the admis-
sion Of Oklahoma. New Mexico and Ari-
IONA into the union.
TO WAIT ON PUBLIC OPINION.
Washington, May 28.-The proposition
to lease public lands for grazing pur-
poses, which has been Investigated at
some length by the house committee,
today went over Indefinitely and viii
not be considered again at this session
The subject was to have been finally
conceded that it would be well before
taking any action to allow public opin-
ion to mature on the plan. Before this
decision was reached Representative
Bell (Colo.) opposed the plan on the
ground that it would bring to a halt
the honest entry of lands.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, May 2S.-Speaker Hen
derson attended the funeral of Lord
PauncefOte today and by his designa-
ton Representative Dalzen (Pa) pre-
sided over the deliberations of the house.

before the regular order was demanded.
A bill was passed to authorize the re-
Iinquishment to the United States of
patent lands and claims within the
limits of the SeQuoia Yosemite and
The regular order then being resumed,
vote was taken upon adoption Of the
rule for the consideration of the bill to
increase the subsidiary silver coinage,
which was pending when the house ad-
journed yesterday.
The rule was adopted 80 to 70. Under
its terms two hours were allowed for
general debate
Mr.. Hill, CWn) who had charge of the
bill. expressed surprise at the criticism
of the measure INDUCED in by Mr.. Sha-
frOth yesterday. There seemed to be
misunderstanding, he said, as to the
scope of the bill. It had nothing to do
with the question of exchange, ability
or redemption of silver dollars contain
ed in the Fowler bill. 1t covered only
the subject of subsidiary coinage and
was so innocent that the minority had
not seen fit to attack it in their report

to the work of rescue. Hurry calls were
sent for police reserves and ambulanceS,

Chicago. May 2s.-Close friends Of the
Moore brothers make the statement that
they and the members Of the so-ealled
Moore party have turned over proxies
on their Chicago and Northwestern
stock to the regular proxy committee TO
be voted at the forthcoming annual
meeting. This undoubtedly means that
an agreement has been reached by
which the Moore people are to have one,
and possibly two, members on the
Northwestern board.
In case of the election of one Of the
Moore party to the board. the one Sc
lected probably win be W. B. Leeds
president of the Rock Island. who has
been bullish on Northwestern for a cou-
pie of y@ars, and is understood to own
about 25.000 shares. If two are selected :
the second will probably be ". H
Moore. There is not to be any contest
or any demand by the Moores. and all
talk Of that matter is unwarranted by
the facts.
