DOCTOR ADVOCATED OPERATION
PE-Ru-NA MADE KNIFE UNNECESSARY.

CATARRH is very frequent cause of
~ that class of diseases known as
female weakness.
Catarrh of the pelvic organs produces
such variety of disagreeable and irritat-
ing symptoms that many people-in fact.
the majority of people-have no idea that
they are caused by catarrh.
If all the women who are suffering with
any form of female weakness would write
to DR.. Hartman. Columbus, Ohio. and give
him complete description of their symp-
toms and the peculiarities of their troubles.
he will Immediately reply with complete
directions for treatment, free of charge.

Everywhere the women are using Peruna
and praising it. Peruna is not palliative
simply: it cures by removing the cause Of
female disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured moro
women of female ailments than any other
living physician. He makes these cures
simply by using and recommending Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt

FROn DENVER
TO MONTANA

Rcd Lodge. Mont, Dec. 27.-one of
the officials of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone Company in Montana
has made announcement of plans of
the company which are of yast import
ance to a large section of western
country. namely, the speedy construc-
ton of a direct telephone line to Den
yer. through Wyoming.
The first move in the contemplated
improvement will consist of the ex-
tension OF line from Bridger. Mon
tana, the terminus of u branch of the
Northern Pacific. into Wyoming. This
will place nearby Wyoming points in
long-distance connection with Butte.
Dillon, Helena. Missoula. Pocatello,
Idaho. and Salt Lake City.
But that much OF an accomplish
ment. though OF Incompatible CONNER
ciai importance, is only beginning of
the company's design for the enlarge
ment and improvement of the service.
Passing out of Wyoming, the contem-
plated line will extend to Denver. At
present 1t is necessary, even to talk
as lar hS inc ilHt tAttuus, W lluke All
almost endless series of connections
between minor exchanges. 1t is at
best an inferior system.
The proposed and practically estab-
lished route OF the new line is from
Bridger to Cody. Wyoming; thence to
Therniopolis and Meeteetse, and on
eastward. 1t will be the most modern
metallic circuit line throughout.
Bridger. the town for which United
States Senator w. A. Clark has
planned so much, is growing daily in
commercial Importance Its beet sugar
factory will probably soon be GER
tainty.
The Bell company has accepted the
gauntlet thrown down by the indie
pendent Montana and Wyoming Tele--
phone Company, and fight to the fin
ish is on. Refused admittance to the
city of Red Lodge, the company has
established long-distance station
within two blocks of the business cen
ter of the town. this being outside the
city limits. 1t is only a question OF
timo before it will gain admittance to
the city, in the opinion of many busi-
ness men here.

OPPOSITION TO
THE CUBAN TREATY

Washington, Dec 30.-Considerable
opposition is developing to the ratifi-
cation of the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
now pending in the Senate. 1t is not
taking quite the form tnat the opposi-
tion to the Cuban legislation took last
spring. but 1t is sufficient in substance
to give concern to the friends OF the
treaty. The President is confident of
early ratification.
Several weeks ago it appeared that
the treaty, when presented to the Sem
ate. would be ratified without difficult
ty, but some senators now are taking
as strong grounds against the treaty
as they took against the legislation
proposed at the last session of Con-
gress.
These senators are Of two classes.
those who are opposed on principle to
any tariff tinkering," and those who
represent states whose products may
be affected by the concessions extend
ed to Cube by the pending treaty.
Senators of the first class might be
induced to support the treaty mas
much as II does not involve, in their
view. an attack on the system of pro-
lection. were it not for their apprehen-
sion that the ratification of the Cuban
treaty may lead to demand from
other countries that they. too, be ac-
corded special tariff concessions by the
United States.
It has been indicated to the Presi-
dent that in the event of ratification
of the Cuban treaty, a demand may be
expected from Germany within thirty
days for concessions similar to those
accorded Cuba. The most distinct de
sire of the German Emperor, 1t is
pointed out. is for the extension of the
foreign commerce OF his empire. He, of
course. regards Cuba as a nation for
eign to the United States. and, SO far
as that point is concerned. on an equal
ity with Germany. II tariff conces-
sions are granted to Cuba, Germany.
under the most favored nation clause,
will request that she be given similar
the form almost of demand
If 1t be be not granted. the fear is
expressed that Germany may take ini-
tiate legislation that will be inimical
to the Industrial development of this
country so far as Germany is con-
cerned. even If 1t should not curtail
American commerce already estab-
lished in Germany and its possessions.
The same argument is applied to
other countries. Germany being used
simply as an example of what may be
expected of all of the great foreign
nations with which the United States
has exhaustive commercial relations.

GOVERNOR SCHROEDER REPORTS
CONDITIONS In GUAM ISLAND

United States, II be made legal tender
also in Guam, in place OF the present

The census of the island, taken last
autumn, shows the total population TO

foreigners, fourteen being citizens Of
the United States. The latter does not
include officers and men Of the navy
or other civil employees temporarily
imported from the United States.
Above the age of seven. forty-six per
cent of the natives read and write
Spanish. He says the natives still
continue to refuse to allow their sick
to receive medical attention, but that
conditions are improving. an excess Of
births over deaths being shown for
each Of the last two years.

now twenty-four lepers at Tumon Bay

ments in facilities for education, aud
also that the laws for the government
of the island should be remodeled and
codified The governor says there is a
desire for United States citizenship
among persons domiciied in the is
land. He calls attention to the case Of

ing q balance CT 5000. which. how
ever. is a decrease Of over $4,000 in
the cash balance for the preceding

This loss is due largely to the unex-
pected expenses incident OF over S10.-

Schroeder reports that It has been
deemed prudent TO stop all work of
public Improvement until further ap-
preparations shall be made The value
OF the exports and imports during the
year have been respectively $35 $40 and
$35, ,f65. The exports consisted almost
entirely of Mexican dollars. Not n
pound of copra has been exported, and
neither cocoa nor coffee has been pro-
duced In sufficient quantities to supply
the home market. owing to the slow
recoveries from the effects Of the hur-
