Peruna:

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession Is now called
pelvic catarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are tho cause Of most cases
of female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first OF
Americas great hysicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
! found it SO admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy fol
female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using it and prais
ing 1t. Peruna Is not q palliative sim
ply; 1t cures by removing the cause Of
female disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna-

Abandoned Farms for Summer Homes

GSt. Adams Messenger
One of the uses to which so-caltd
abandoned farms might be put is that
OF making summer homes for wealthy
outsiders. Many farm that does NOT
offer very encouraging prospects to the
agriculturist nevertheless is picturesque
ly situated and combines the right vari-
ETY. of surface and soil to afford just
such an estate as many rich family
would delight to build a summer home
upon. There can be just enough farm
ing upon such an estate to provide
rural delicacies for its owners table, 10
care for the livestock, and TO give a
contry seat " color to the homelife and
the extensive grounds will provide golf
links, tennis courts, picnic places, ana
similar attractions for house parties
More than one man, once ensconced in
such a comfortable summer home, might
be moved by the spirit of his environment
to crafty a natural taste for a little So
called " fancy-farming," and, having
plenty of money to do 1t with, his expert
ments would be invaluable object lessons
and often-times encouragements TO his
neighbors who are farming for hveh-
hood.

An Epidemic Of Strikes.

1t is doubtful if there has been q
time in the history of the United
States when there were so many
strikes in progress or threatened as
at present. The country has meyer
been more prosperous, and the army
of the unemployed has never been
30 small. Wages generally have
meyer been higher, nor the average
number Of hours worked per day
shorter. While the press reports
bring the news of strikes from all
parts of the country, none OF them
seem to have been caused by reduc
tion of wages or an increase in hours.
In . general sense, the present
contest is, therefore, not defensive
movement, but q demand for higher
wages or less hours, or both.
II hostllities between labor and
capital grow and multiply under the

present favorable business conditions
under what conditions may we hope
that they will cease?
Arbitration offers but temporary
relief, but unsatisfactory as it Is, it is
the only means we have of relieving
present conditions.
The fighting spirit is SO strong
within us that it is invariably only
after much loss occurs and perhaps
men are beaten and killed, that we
will even agree to arbitrate.
Today a great strike is threatened
in Denver. Arbitration is agreeable
to both sides, but inability to agree
upon a mere detail promises to stop
the business Of the city and to force
the disinterested public to become a
party to the dispute.
This strike may yet be prevented,
but as a rule both sides feel that
some show Of fight should be made
first-a little blood drawn, to satisfy
their honor-before arbitration can
be had.
The outlook for a cessation OF
labor hostilities and the Inaugural
ton of reign of common sense in
these matters is far from encourag-
ing.-Colorado Syringe Telegraph.

FRISCO LINE TO DENVER CERTAIN
Rock Island Purchase ofthe South
ern Road viii In No Wise Inter
foro With the Extension.

It will be welcome news to Den
YER to learn that the absorption of
the st. Louis & San Francisco road
by the Rock Island system will not
intefere with the plans of the Frisco
to extend its main line into Denver.
It is learned from an authoritative
source that the original plans will be
carried out, and that a road $40
miles long will be constructed under
the charter of the Oklahoma City &
Northwestern, as originally intended
H. A. Parker, until few weeks ago
first vice president of the Rock Is
land system, was in Denver yester-
day en- route from Mexico, where it
is understood he has been to confer
with the officers OF the Mexican Cen
trsl in behalf of the Rock Island and
the Frisco. II the Mexican Central
does not come under the complete
control OF the new combination it
will at least be very close.
1t is understood from statements
made during Mr.. Parker's visit that
the necessity for the new road into
Denver from Oklahoma has become
greater by the Rock Island Frisco
deal. A direct line from the Colo
RADIO district to New Orleans was
very much desired by the Frisco and
by the Rock Island. The combin
ing of the two interests almost makes
the line . necessity in carrying out
the general plan of the company,
which is to connect all of the impor
tant gateways in the territory by di
rect lines. Denver is to be made,
by reason Of natural advantages and
railroad connections, the gateway fol
the Middle West, and without a
straight connection between this
state and the network of lines in
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas the
combination would meet one of its
most serious drawbacks in complet-
ing the policy it has outlined.
The work on the line into Denver
from Ardmore to Lawton is being
rapidly pushed and over 100 miles
is now under grade. At no time
during the recent negotiations pre-
ceding the deal was work stopped

Tn. Cleveland Programme.

Col. Watterson Sizes up the Clove-
land situation in this way. He says
the OK. Presidents admirers have
been "misled partly by the clamor
of the mugwump contingent and
wholly by the st. Louis demonstra-
tion," and they think they can cap
ture the democratic two-thirds rule.
Assuming that they can nominate
him, they take it for granted that
"he can carry New York. They do
net doubt that they can buy New
Jersey and Connecticut. But one
additional electoral vote will be need
cd, and they are not wide Of the
mark in thinking they can Flip this
from some of the many rotten Dor
ough states of tho Rocky mountain
range. As for the solid South. it
will have to take him willy-nilly. 1t
can not hslp ITSELF"
But the colonel is not deceived by
the outlook. He secs and says that
Cleveland and the Morgan syndicate
which is booming him, could neither
carry New York nor buy New Jersey
or Connecticut. Moreover, as he
looks at things, Maryland, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and
perhaps, Tennessee, would become
not merely doubtful states, but al
most certainly republican states"
This looks to be pretty safe fore
cast. 1t will be we'll for those who
may be inclined to question this
prophecy to remember one thing.
The colonel saw this Cleveland re
nomination cloud long ago, when it
was not nearly 80 large as q mans
band. When he first mentioned his
discovery the country laughed at
him. 1t is not doing any laughing
now.
OF course, the Cleveland third
term folly has q chance to commit
race suicide before the convention of
1904 meets. II it should be success
full in the convention, however, the
people will make short work of it at
the polls. Cleveland's sycophants
say that their idol is popular with an
element of the republican party.
This is one of the things, If it exists,
that they ought to keep silent about.
To the extent that Cleveland may be
agreeable to a few republicans, he
will be cut by many times that many
democrats. Tho men who elected
Cleveland when he was elected did
this because they thought he was
different from the republicans. II
he fooled them then, he can not do
it again. As between a democrat
with republican leaning and republi.
can who is robustly and comprehens-
ively republican, the republicans will
command the support Of hundreds
Of thousands Of stalwart and straight
out democrats, Globe Democrat.

Understood His Art.

Baron von Steuben was the drillmas- ter of the Continental army at Valley Forge. At first the men in the ranks did not know the manual exercise, many of the officers knew little or noth- ing of maueuvering. One of the latter turned out for inspection in dressing gown. "Himmel und erde!" cried the baron. "What kind of creature Is thisY' Baron von Steuben was choleric and profane, but he understood his art. He swore at the ragged Continentals In both German and French, but he taught them the value of drill and discipline. When he had exhausted all the French and German oaths he knew he would roar to his aid, Come here, Herr Haupt- mann, and help me curse these block heads" But he. turned the undiscA plined militia into well drilled troops. Never again was the enemy able to laugh at "Afr. Washington's rotten reg lments of ragamufiins."

Lounge Anatomy.

The modern interest in science through observation" has become more or less of mania Even the chi)- dren are bitten by 1t. The Little Chron. icle says that Georgie, aged five, takes great interest in physiology and anat- omy.
 One day some members of the family had been studying a dissected porcu' pine and making drawings of the bones.
 Not long after his sisters took an old lounge apart, and Georgie watched them. Presently he came running to another member of the family, his eyes on fire, his cheeks flushed and his locks flying behind him.
 Come! Comet! he cried. "If you want to study physerology now's your chance. The girls have got the lounge all to pieces."

Eelter Slseltcr.

"Helter skelter" has been suggestive ly defined as jingling expression, vaguely initiating the hurried chatter of feet rapidly and irregularly moved. Most dictionaries, however, led astray probably by the ordinary orthography, have missed tho true etymology of this phrase. It should be "helter kelter."
 "Helter" is an old word for "hang," probably connected with halter, and "kelter' is used by old writers in the sense of "order" or the proper state. Thus Barrow, the divine, says, If the organs of prayer be out of kelter how can we pray"
 "Helter skelter," therefore, is literal ly "hang order" and means, "Oh, hang order; let us do it, or let 1t take its chance" Ben Jonson in Every Man In His Humor" writes, "Helter skelter, hang sorrow, care'll kill a cat" and Shakespeare, using it to express rush and hurry, says, "Helter skelter have I rode to thee"
