The Storm in Cuba.

The recent fall Of II inches of rain in
five hours, accompanying a hurricane,
has resulted in the death of more than
100 persons in Cuba. The most severe
loss was at the village of Ell Oobre, where
vbout sixty persons were drowned.
The river rose instantly, destroying
the lower part of the village. Bodies
were carried eight miles to the
bay. Thirty bodies we're recovered. Six
persons were drowned at Daiquiri, IA at
Ell Caney and many in the surrounding
country. The list is still incomplete.
All tie bridges at Cobre, several at Dai.
quiri and four of the Central Railroad
and miles of track have been destroyed.
In the wreck ofthe relief train at Moron
two employees were killed, but all the
passengers are safe. No train arrived at
Santiago from Saturday to Thursday,
anu all the telegraph lines and cables
are interrupted. One hundred and fifty
houses were destroyed or damaged in
Santiago and five persons lost their lives.
In and about the city the property loss
is enormous, at the mines, on the rail-
roads and in cattle and merchandise.

No State Convention Next Year.

The impression prevails with some that
State democratic convention will be held
next year, when the Governor and other

State convention next year, and that in

The American Derby.

Chicago, June lS.-The American
Derby, the great racing event of the
West, will run this afternoon at the track
of the Washington Park Club. One of
the finest fields of thoroughbreds ever
brought together, will face the starter.
1t will be grand struggle for the rich
prize Of $27, 900. for the victor. In the
entry list are seven winners of other
Derby events. 1t is estimated that horse
flesh valued at $3.50, 600 will run in the
race The feature that will stand forth
as the distinguishing mark of the 1904
Derby, however, will be the complete
absence of betting. For the first time
in the history of the race the bookmakers
will be barred from the grounds. No
telegraph or telephone service will be
permitted as an aid to gamblers outside
the grounds. OF the field of sixteen
horse announced as Derby starters,
twelve are reasonably certain to go to the
post. The doubtful ones are Copper,
Rainland, Proofreader, and Woodson.
The entries are English Lad, Moharib
High Ball, Fort Hunter, Rapid Water,
Elwood, Bill Curtis, Proceeds, Woodson,
Brand New, Merry Pioneer, Proofreader,
Copper, Rainland, Gus Straus, and Vol

UAMGERS AVOIDED IN UGIUBER.

DURING the warm summer months
the skin has been freely throwing
off the impurities Of the body in
the form Of perspiratiOn.
THE cool days and cooler nights
Of October, in a measure, stop the
action of the akin.
IMPURITIES which heretofore
were thrown off by the skin,
must find some outlet They
should be exCreted by the kidneys,
A GREAT STRAIN is thus thrown
upon the kidneys. They are not
always prepared for this increased
labor. They break down.
THE P0Is0Ns passing through
the kidneySserVo to irritato them,
and this condition soon develops
into serious ailments, among them
Bright's Disease,

with the kidneys, II becomes de-

AN ABNORMAL CONDITION Of
the bowels also presents itself,
Constipation and other bowel
troubles result,
THEbloOd becomes poisoned by the
retained excretioDs. Pimples
blotohes, muddy compilations are
tho first result and finally the
whole system becomes deranged.
COLDS are very easily caught dur.
ing this depleted condition Of the
system.
AT THIS TIME the kidneys, liver
and bowels need a little en-.
enlargement, a little assistance
that is all,
PE-RU.NA gives Just this assis.
lance, 1t gently stimulates these
organs to increased function
Thus Peruna guards against the
possibilities OF disease.
PEOPLE INCLINED TO WEAK.
NRsSOf these organs ought to be
especially careful during this
month.
AT THE FIRST SIGN Of disease,
such as pufiness under the eyes,
sallow skin, backache, colds, and
so forth, Peruna should be taken.
If YOU NOTICE any ofthe above
symptoms, do not delay, buy a
bottle Of Peruna to-day, A bottle
Of Peruna taken at the first
symptom will do more good than
a dozen bottles later on when
serious ailments have developed.
