TO PREVENT BURGLARY.
Safe Opening Tools jealousy Guarded
Day and NIGHT.

New York Times: 1--WE have tools for
opening Safes" said the foreman of the
machine room of safe factory, that
no burglar could initiate even ii he got
them. But it would be one of the most
difficult things in the world for him to
get even a sight Of them. The tool
room Is guarded as closely as a bank
vault. A Waterman stays in it all
night. We are very careful about en-
ploying our men. They must give
bonds and have the best of references
The chances of a burglar getting into
our employ for the purpose Of learning
our methods Is scarcely worth think
ing about.
Very frequently we have hurry calls
for man to open safe where the
timelock has gone askew or where the
clerk has forgotten the combination
You can readily imagine that with a
bank or trust company 1T Is an essen
tial thing to have safe open before the
business begins. When we send a
man out he takes a Wagonload of tools,
for he must open the safe without ruin
ing the lock and he does not know
precisely what the trouble is. He car
ries a photograph of himself with our
credentials on it. Nor will he open the

U. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROL INA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble
Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something
to Produce Artificial Diges-
ton is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, PanCreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat of the Difficulty, Which
Is Really Catarrh.

T. -U. s. Senator NJ. G. Butler from
South Carolina was Senator from
that State for two terms. In re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co..,
from Washington, D. c., says:
81 can recommend Peruna for dys.
pepsia and stomach trouble. Ihave
been using your medicine for sh0rt
period and feel very much relieved.
1t Is indeed a wonderful medicine bee
sides a good tonic. I'M. C. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in n natural way This is vastly better
and safer than rssorting to artificial,
methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies com.
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat OF
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled In the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it IL
generally dependent upon catarrh.

Life-Cost of Accidents.

American Medicine: It is strange
how negligent we are as profession,
and especially as a nation. OF the loss
of life and the cost Of accidents. 1t is
calculated that more disability is
caused by them than by consumption,
pneumonia and cardiac diseases COM

space taken up In medical and other
literature by the consideration of ac-
cidents. Has there been single paper
read in the last two national medical
conventions on accidents? And yet is

An old lion named Leo, who had lived
In circus tent for many years, grew
tired of the life he led, and said:
Here, am. Gagged up and with only
half enough to eat, and all these strange

run this show make all Of the money,
and have good time, too. I'm tired Of
it and intend to escape at the very first

HOT FIGHT IN OHIO
ON THE EVE or CONVENTION NEITHER HAS MAJORITY.
Followers of Johnson and Trimmer man are Both claiming-Ap- pointnaent of credential Conn
 mittee Is of Utmost Value.

Columbus. O.. Aug. 2l. --The contest be- tween Mayor Tom L.. Johnson of Cleve- land and John L.. Zimmerman of Spring field for the Democratic Gubernstofial nomination. although within twenty-four hours of decisive action, Is tonight as much disputed as ever. At the headauar- ters of each candidate the most confident claims are given out. At the same time the forces Of both candidates are working no. only with the uninstruete1 dtl Aketcs but also with those who are IhAtfuct6d
 Following the withdrawal of Boolxwml- ter ns the Johnson candidate for Senator the Zimmerman men inaugurated raid on the Johnson ranks. claiming that the instructions for Johnson for Governor ap- piled only to the balloting on Wednesday and not to the selection tomorrow of members of the Committee on Credentia 6, Resolutions, etc. The Johnson men met this charge by saying 1t was a confess sion of weakness and insisted that the in- structions applied to the selection of members of the new State Central Com mittee and the entire organization of the convention. It Is still conceded that the one securing majority of the Committee on Credentials, tomorrow afternoon will. on the following day. be nominated for Governor, as there are 145 seats out of the 800 contested and neither candidate can succeed without having all of his de egates seated. Some of the free silver snthu- siasts who are instructed for Johnson for Governor are out openly tonight against Clarke for Senator and the indications are that this opposition will be carried tO the floor of the convention if the Committee on Resolutions includes in its report the endorsement of Clarke.
 While the Zimmerman men are not in favor of enclosing any one for Sen ator on the Chicago or Kansas City platforms. they are calling Clarke all sorts of names, such as a Mckinley Democrat and OiIe of "Cleveland's bunco steerers." The Zim- merman men favor a conservative plat form. such as the party had in Ohio four years ago. when John R; Mclean headed the Democratic ticket.
 The Johnson men declare for the reaf- firmation of last years platform when Johnson had undlsputed control of the State convention with additional blanks favoring ? cents per mile on steam rail- ways and cents fares on street railways and referendum.

IMPORTING OUR COTTON
ATTEMPTS TO RAISE SUPPLY
 ELSEWHERE FUTILE.
With Germany Trying to Grow Cot ton in Africa, England in India, and Egypt Large Im-
 ports Continue.

New York. Aug. 2A-(special. )-Inter- esting testimony as to the slight extent tc which foreign attempts to develop a cot ton supply in other parts of the world so as to be less dependent for raw material on America have become effective. is fur nished by a report from our consul al Prague, issued this afternoon.
 In spite of all the German experiments in East Africa and British endeavors in India and Egypt. Austria last year, im- ported 20. 100000 pounds of cotton from the United States out of total of 31S,0o0 900 pounds. The American cotton is ship ped to Bremen or Hamburg and from there by rail or on Elbe steamers to It's place of destination. No cotton is grown in Austria Hungaria and all attempts to raise 1t have failed including some ambi- tious recent experiments. One of Secre- tary Wilson's greatest objections to the cotton corner is the encouragement il naturally affords to our foreign rivals.
