Also Considered.


The interstate comm cree commission
took. up import rates at Chicago. yester-
day, and in. the AFTERNOON the diminished
investigation of; the complaint made by
the Chicago Live Stock exchange that the
roads were discriminating in rates be-
tween Missouri rivers points and Chicago
in favor of dressed meats and against the
Chicago live stock market was continued.
(, At the previous hearing the Minnesota
railroad and warehouse commission IN
teryened, for the purpose OF showing that
rates then in effect on live stock and the
finished product to Chicago. and St. Paul
were relatively proper, and that no change
should be made. At the same time, other
intervening petitions were filed by Frank
r. Ransom for the Union Stock yards at
Omaha and the live stock exchange at
ST. Joseph, Mo- by Mark d. Flower, for
the Union Stock Yards company at St.
Paul, I. and by William Gilchrist
of the Sioux City Live Stock Exchange
and stock yards. All the intervenors are
practically aligned with the railroad com
panies to show that the complaint Of the
Chicago. Live Stock exchange is without
foundation. The petitions say that in
reality Chicago is favored by the present
rates on live stock and dressed meats.
II 4. a. Staples on Stand
Chairman Ira b. Mills Of the Minnesota
commission acted as examiner, for that
DOQy, ana presented Vi .
Staples as his first witness Mr.. Staples
testified that the Minnesota commission
recently arranged a compromise with the
western railroads by which rates on live
stock on points in Minnesota and Iowa to
South st. Paul and Chicago were fixed
in a way that was considered fair to both
cities. He admitted, however, that the
commissioners had not considered the
reasonableness of the rates, except rel
atfvely, to either city.
!, Thomas App produced maps and
figures to show that South St Paul
was not favored, as against Chicago, by
the railroads.
Late IN the afternoon an adjournment
was taken, with the understanding that
each Of the intervenors should present one
witness. The railroads. through Attor-
neys Kellogg and Hanson, will present

All Over the United States Use
Pe-ru-na for Catarrh,

DR.. Hartman receives many Letters
from. Catholic Sisters all over the United
States. A recommend recently re-
ceived from Q Catholic inst tutionin the
Southwest reads as follows:
A Prominent Mother Superior Says:
clean testify from experience to the
efficiency Of Peruna as one of the very
best medicines, and it gives me pleasure
to add my praise to that of thousands
who have used it. For years I suffered
with catarrh of the stomach: all rene
dies proving valueless for relief. Last
spring I went to Colorado, hoping to be
benefited by a change Of climate and
while there a friend advised me to try
Peruna. After using two bottles 1 found
myself very much improved. The re-
mains Of my old disease being now SO
slight, I consider myself cured, yet for
a while I intend to continue the use Of
Pcruna. I am now treating another
patient with your medicine. She has
been sick with malaria and troubled
with leucorrhea. I have not a doubt
that a cure will be speedily effected"
These are samples ofIefters received
by DR.. Hartman from the various
orders of Catholic Sisters Throughout
the United States.
The names and addresses to these let.
tiers have been withheld from respect
to the Sisters but will be furnished upon
request.
One-half of the diseases which af1ict
mankind are due to some catarrhal de-
rangemcnS of the mucous membrane
lining some organ or passage of the
body.
\ remedy that would act Immediately
upon the congested mucous membrane
restoring it 10 its normal state, would
consequently cure all these diseases.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located,
whether it be in the head, throat, lungs,
stomach, kidneys, or pelvic organs. A
remedy that will cure it in one location
will cure it in all locations.
If YOU do notreccive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna:
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving i
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
