Peruna is such perfect specific for each
case that when patients have once used it
they can never be induced to quit it until
they are permanently cured. 1t begins to
relieve the disagreeable sym ptoms at once.
The backache ceases. the trembling knees
are strengthened. the appetite restored, the
digestion made perfect. the dull headache
is stopped and the weake ming drains are
gradually cured. These results certainly
follow course of treatment with Peruna.

Fire at Dineman,s

Early last Tuesday morning fire
was discovered by Mrs. Darragh in
the store house of g. B. Van Auken,
located almost opposite her home, at
Dingmans, and she aroused her sons,
George and Edward, who with pals
of water attempted to subdue the
flames, but Intellectually. The fire
apparently started outside the build
ing just where a new addition had
been made to the main room. Inside
was q kerosene tank which the flames
soon reached and rendered futile any
attempt to save the goods. Only a
few bags of feed were gotten out. II
is mystery how the fire originated.
Mr.. Van Auken carried 81 900 insur.
ance on the building and an equal
amount on the stock, but his loss
above insurance will probably reach
s25OO.
By prudence, careand good business
methods he had built up a large trade
and had a well furnished store. His
loss will be severely felt, not only by
himself, but, by his many customers,
and he has the general sympathy Of
the community in his misfortune.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

The greatest interest is manifested
at the state department IN the news
which has just come from Colombia
that President Marroquin may seek
to ratify the Panama canal treaty
with the help of his ministers and
without waiting for the action Of
congress. AS such action would be
a wide deviation from the American
conception of a presidents powers,
the constitution of Columbia is being
carefully studied in order to ascer-
tain, if possible. on what ground the
President OF Colombia assumes to
have this power. Il Is known that
public order has not been restored
in the republic Of Colombia and that
every material consideration would
indicate the advisability of the rati-
cation of the treaty but consider
able doubt Is expressed as 10 whether
this country would be warranted in
accepting treaty ratified by so IN.
unusual procedure. Admiral
Walker and other members of the
commission have already engaged
in looking over the ground and
inspecting the work performed on
fhe Culebra cut.

Whilst here / dream.

Hope, happiness, health?
All, l trust SO indeed.
An FL Dorado of wealth
The world seems to need.
The CAV and thu joyous,
The brave and the fair,
To future all lorious,
Look forth without care.
The past IS a ghost
That reflects to our gaze,
The things we would blot
From memory's rays.
Then live in the present
By far that is hest.
Forget past and future,
o yes let them rest.
The present holds pleasures
Which neither can give
Be content if you can
In the present to live.

The Northern Securities decision
continues to occupy the attention Of
fnanciers and of the legal light. in
Washington and several New York
attorneys have come to Washington
to ascertain if there was no means
by which relief could be obtained
from the decree of the court of ap-
peals. The attorney general very
wisely left town 5000 after the de-
cision was announced and his exact
whereabouts is not known. 1t was
rumored that he had gone west to
consult the president but that has
been denied and it is now believed
his western trip is in connection
with the beef trust. Meanwhile.
the capitalists Of the east are crying
out against the Sherman antitrust
law, which they formerly regarded
with scorn, and their newspaper
organs are loudly demanding its
repeal or st least It's amendment SO
that its provisions shall not apply
railroads. Interstate Commerce
Commission will meet in New York
on Tuesday to investigate the alleg-
ations that a coal trust exists and
that the railroads are violating the
antitrust law in their operation Of

that attorney general is responsible

mission and that their investigations
may be followed by legal proceed
ings agaiDts the ''coal roads.

The imports into the United States
exceeded 81. .OOO, 900, 900 in the year
ending with March 1908. This is the
first time in the history of our
foreign commerce that they have
exceeded that amount. Prior to
1870 they never reached one half
billion dollars in a single year and it
was not until 1890 that they reached
$3.50. 900, 900. Meanwhile, exports
have grown with equal or greater
rapidity. In the twelve months
ending with March last they
amounted to &1,4l4, 7s6, 954 giving
on excess of exports over imports of
practically 1000, 900. 1t was not
until 1892 that the exports of the

is most apparent. 1t is estimated

the exports for April, May and June
