NEW BOER COLONY
GOING TO MEXICO

El Paso, Texas, May 25.-General G.
nell. promoters of the Boer colony at
Tamaulipas, Mexico. are here, after
closing a contract with a syndicate
that will furnish finances for the col
ony. General Joubert, who fought with
the Orange Free State army and was
three times wounded, will bring over
the Beers. Captain ODonnell, who
fought with De Wet and went to the
Transyaal when a lad from Ireland,
will bring Irish colonists.
The colony Ior which General Jou-
bert and Captain O'Donnell have just
arranged, will be the second Boer COL
ony to be planted in Mexico. The first
colony was started by General Snyman
near Santa Rosalia, in Chihuahua. The
Beers to come will occupy $4,000
acres.
We wanted to settle in Texas"
said Captain O'Donnell, but we could
make no terms which our people could
meet The Texas company did not un-
derstand our situation. Our people
were left ruined by the war. General
Joubert lost everything, and have
nothing. The unfortunate burghers
are thrifty people but have no money
and will have to be helped until they
get footing. The syndicate in Mexico
will bring the people here from Africa,
let them have implements and live
stock, and give them credit at their
stores. The settlers will pay for the
land at the rate of $3.75 per acre per
year for a number of years, less than
poor families of Ireland pay as rent.
and the Tamaulipas land is as fertile
as any in Ireland. Our land, 100 miles
north of Victoria, Mexico, has 'front.'

Catarrh Causes Fem.le diseases.
America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women are
so because they are suffering from some
form of female disease. BY far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
of recovery. Female trouble is so common,
SO prevalent. that they accept it as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the
way of recovery is that they do not under
stand that it is catarrh which is the source
of their Illness
In female complaint. ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
