GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN
Thank E,-rv-na for Their Recovery After Years oi Suffering.

Miss Muriel Armitage, S6 Greenwood avenue. Detroit Mich, district organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, in a recent letter, says:
 T think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles puh- lie, but restored health has meant so much to me that I feel, for the sake of other suffering women, it is my duty to tell what Peruna has done for me
 T suffered for five years with uterine irregularities. which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different schools of med icine, but without any percepuble change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to use Peruna, and promised good results if I would persist and take 1t regularly. I thought this was the least l could do and procured a bottle. I knew as soon as l began taking it that it was affecting me differently from anything l had used be- fore, and so I kept on taking it. l kept this up for six months, and steadily gain ed strength and health. and when l had used fifteen bottles l considered myself entirely cured. I am grateful, happy woman today."-Miss Muriel Armitage
 Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic or gans with the same surety as 1t cures ca- tarrh of the head. Peruna has become as a positive cure for female sumply because the ailments are mostly due to catarrh. Catarrh is the cause of the trouble Peruna cures tho catarrh. The symptoms disappear.

Says AIabanianS Oppose Addi-
 tORaI Bank Deposits
TOO MUCH LIBERTY GIVEN
In a Washington Interview the ex-Gov- ernor States Ills Position on Public Funds for National Banks and
 Talks of Alabama Politics.
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, D. C., September 7,-(Spe- cia1) )-Ex- Governor and Ex-Congressman William c. Oates of Alabama, who is here, says there is strong revulslon of sentiment among the people of that state against the policy of the administration in extending the depository privileges of national banks to be receiving of addi- tional public funds.
 "The people of Alabama" General Oates said, believe that too much lib- erty can be given national banks and that the action of the treasury depart ment regarding deposits by the govern ment may become unreasonable. Ala bamians generally fear the treasury de- pertinent may allow so much license that the Fundamental government policies resting with the treasury may be trans ferred to the banks. We do not like to see the banks given too much power. It seems to us that in these latter day f1n- ancial policies adopted by the treasury department the banks are being given too much leeway. They are in fact be- ing clothed with authority which it never was lhlenueu Dy the IOunQerS or the government they should have. It is time to call a halt"
 In speaking of the political situation in Alabama Ex-Governor Oates remarked: The people of the state are not talking much politics at present. Conditions seem to be prosperous and everybody is at work. The people seem to have tired of MT Bryan and his policies. MT. Bryan continues to talk, but very little attention is being paid to what he has to say. Bry- anism in Alabama, according to my be- lief, is dead for all time l think Ala bama and the entire south will support ap eastern or northern democrat If nom- mated next year. We want a winner and we think that in order to secure vic- tory we must get an eastern man to head the ticket. l have heard some talk of prospective candidates and the sentiment seems to be divided between Judge Alton B. Parker of New York and Senatqr Ar thur P. German. Mir. German leis many friends in Alabama and they are perfect ly loyal in their support of his candidacy There is also some allzs of Cleveland, bul as yet, so far as 4 have been able to observe, there is mo pronounced choice amoffs the people.
 "Alabama, I believe will stand for mod. crate revision of the tariff. I do not think however, that radical action is desired"

DEMOCRATS IN DENVER.
Candidate for Supreme Court Judge
 ship Will Be Nominated.

Denver, September 1.-The democratic state convention met today to nominate candidate for judge of the Supreme court. No other nominations are to be made this year. The leading candidates for the nomination are District Judge John I. Mullins and Adair Wilson of Du- rango, former judge of the Court of ap- peals. There are several dark horse" possibilities, including former Congress- man Bell.
 The report of the resolutions adopted this afternoon was brief. It reafnrms the principles in the party as set forth in the Kansas City platform. declares that there should be no compromise with lawless- ness, whether it be in an individual or in corporations; condemns the use of the military arm of the government at any time unless 1t is demonstrated that the civil authorities are unable to enforce law and order; and denounces the state board of equalization for allowing the corpor- ations to escape from paying their just proportion of taxes" thus, among other things, preventing proper representation at the St. Louis worlds fair.

BULGARIA PEACEFUL.
Report States That No Aggressive Ac.
 tion Will Be Taken.

London, September S.--A dispatch to the Times from Varna, Bulgaria, dated Sep tember ?, says:
 The ministers are returning to Sofia to- night. No aggressive action will be ta- ken on this side It is perfectly under stood that Bulgaria has not single friend in Europe and a policy of adven- ture could only result in ruining the coun- try. Prince Ferdinand's decision can hardly provoke adverse comment, even in Germany, where there Is an obvious eagerness to precipitate a Turko- Buga- rian war. The prospects that some bene- fit might accrue to Bulgaria by the Bal kan question leading to conflict between the great powers has not entered into the calculations of the Bulgarian govern ment. No vain hopes of territorial ag- grandizement are entertained. It is only asked that the powers insure a tolerabe government for Macedonia.
