 If such cures as these do not verify the claim not only that dyspepsia is due to catarrh of the stomach, put also that Peruna will cure catarrh or tine stomach, it is impossible to imagine how any evi derce could do so.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to pr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

A statement has been published by
one of the rejected papers to the
effect that in awarding the city print
ing to The Press the city council was
guilty of extravaganza. Assertions
are made and figures quoted to prove
this assertion.
The assertions are misleading and
the figures false. The Press was
made the official city paper because
its bid was the lowest and best, not
only ON its face. but actually. This
subject was threshed out before the
finance committee as well as before
the council. and both bodies decided
in favor of The Press.
The Spokesman Review was made
the second paper because 1t was the
only paper besides The Press to sub
init a bid for second printing. Neither
the Chronicle nor Bulletin presented
bids. for second paper. therefore
neither OF them could be given a con-
tract for that which they had refused
to bid.
That the competition of The Press
has greatly reduced the cost of print
ing to the city is shown by a COM
parison of the bids of this year with
the price charged the city last year.
This year the city printing will cost

This was about two weeks ago. Since

1t was thought probable that she

FIRST VICTORY
Senate Committee Reports Favorab|y on
Cuban Treaty with Amendment
that House Concur.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The
Cuban reciprocity treaty was reported
favorably from the senate committee
on foreign relations today with an
amendment providing It's provisions
be concurred in by the house.
The adoption Of this amendment is
a distinct democratic victory and

leadership.
1t is believed this will insure the
ratification OF the treaty at the pres
emit session of the senate, although
1t will not become effective until
after the house concurs in the tariff
reduction provided in the treaty.
This it is expected will be one of
the first acts Of the next congress.
The acceptance by the republican
majority of the democratic conten-
ton that a concurrence of the house
is necessary before the reciprocity
treaty which changes the tariff rates
can become a law was a great sur
prise to the republicans, who have
