His Present Homo.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 12.-Grant
Gillett, who, in his time, was the most
picturesque cattle plunger in the west,
for the last five years a fugitive in Mex
Eco, is in the United States, and will
soon visit Kansos City. In telegram
from Fostoria, o., to the Star he says
he will come back e1d try to settle

days. One met him in New York, the
other has been in correspondence with
him since October. 1t is understood by
stockmen that in his reference to a
creditor representative who is author
lied to speak for him he means Frank

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
"A notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart OF every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clearhead,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later converse
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is. =,
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

WOULD STAND PAT"
Senator Hanna Makes Significant
Remark to Republican Committee.
Success" Is the shibbolcth of Every Work.
or In the Party. Says the Chairman
Every state and Territory
Represented.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE republic
can national committee began its ini-
tial melting preparatory to the presl-
Dental campaign of 1904 at the Airing
ton hotel at noon Thursday. The COM
mittee, which was called to order by
Chairman Hanna, represented every
state and territory, either by the regu-
lar member or by proxy, except Hawaii.
When Senator Hanna called the
meeting to order he was greeted with
q round of applause. He expressed
briefly his thanks to the committee for
the work in the campaign of 1900, say
ing: 81 desire to thank the members
of this committee for their hearty and
loyal cooperation in the campaign for
which service they were chosen by the
convention in that year. From per-
sonal standpoint 1t is a pleasure to me
to make this acknowledgment Of unan-
imous support on the part Of this COM
mittee in that campaign. All Of in
terest to the republican party that
centers in this meeting can be told
in one word, that Is Success And all
that is necessary to bring about that
result is to stand pat upon the princi-
pies and policies OF that party" This
statement was greeted with hearty ap-
plause. Chairman Hanna explained
that all the meetings Of the committee
would be public except at the meeting
Saturday, when balloting for a place
to hold the next convention would take
place.
A communication was received from
8. r. Palmer. of Porto Rico, represent
ing the American federal party, and
related its association with the re-
publican party. It was stated that as
long as Porto Rico was governed by
the Foraker act, it could not be con-
nected with the politics of the United
States as Porto Ricans were not rec
ognized as citizens of the United
States.

MOROCCO AND THE MooRs.
The Tanatical Country In Rich ana
Paradise for Hunters Of
Small Game.

Morocco, in spite Of its proximity to
Europe, is the most fanatical OF the
Mohammedan countries, says a writer
in the London Express. Christians are
hated by the natives throughout the
country, and 1t is often very dangerous
to 90 outside the town Of Tangier.
The business of Morocco is entirely IN
the hands of Moorish Jews, who amass
considerable wealth in the coast ports.
It Is not prudent for Christian to stay
anywhere but in the Jewish quarter.
At the capital, Morocco city, and Fee
the natives expectorate and hurl stones
at the foreign infidels," as they call
them, and no Christian is safe in the
streets unless escorted by soldiers.
Morocco is one of the most fertile
countries in the world; the soil Is very
rich, and has only to be scratched to pro-
duce lururiant crops.
TIE majority of the people live by
agriculture. There is very little machin-
cry of any kind; labor Is cheap, and
everything is done by hand.
Tangier Is the city best known to
Englishmen. A number Of tourists visit
this ancient seaport every winter. 1t Is
also much frequented by army officers,
who cross from Gibraltar for shooting
and pig-sticking.
There are n" roads In Morocco except
the caravan t-acks into the interior. In
the best Of times they can hardly be
called roads, but in the rainy season,
when the rivers are swollen and over
flow, travelling is both difficult and dan
gerous.
Tetuan, the old Moorish city, and the
center of the present trouble, is about
40 miles from Tangier by road and Al
miles by sea from Gibraltar. Coming
to 1t from the rock, one generally lands
at Ceuta and rides along the coast on
muleback, q distance Of 30 miles. =.
Game and poultry Of all kinds are to
be had in abundance; delicious part
ridges and pigeons can be had for one
penny each; and there are quantities OF
wild pig and antelope to be found by
this sportsman.
The ride on horseback to Tetuan from
Tangier occupies about nine hours. An
escort Of two Moorish cavalrymen Is
necessary. as numbers Of wild tribesmen
are continually moving about the
country, and there is always a certain
amount of danger in meeting them. Ma
tive runners do the journey In eight
hours for five shillings.
One dollar a day is charged for each
soldier, and in return, II the tourist Is
robbed, the governor Of the district
sweeps down on the villages near the
scene of the robbery and makes them
pay 100-fold for the stolen goods. Wheth-
er the unlucky stranger gets any part OF
the fine Is another question.
Tetuan is surrounded by walls over so
feet high and six feet thick, surmounted
by brass cannons at various points.
There are two enormous gates-the sea
gate and the land gate-which are
opened at sunrise and closed at sunset.

opposition and has won its way to the hearts
of the people. The natural timidity which
so many people have felt about giving en-
dorsements to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and a desire to help others has
inspired thousands Of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that SO many men OF national
and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won on its own merits.
Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or
location in the human body. That is why it
receives so many notable and unique en-
dorsements.

PENDANT and brought him delegates to his
