ION PERICARDIS
THE STORY OF HIS CAPTIVITY
Bandit Raisuli Said the Only Way to
Influence the Moorish Govern
ment Was to Capture Eu-

Tangier, June 26.-lon Perdicaris,
the American who last week was re-
leased by the brigand Raisuli, was
much better to-day, and gave the AS
scciated Press an interview descriptive
of the circumstances Of his capture and
of his experiences while a prisoner in
Raisulis camp.
He says that on the night of May
18th he had Just entered the drawing
room after dinner and. hearing noise
among the servants. he and Cromwell
Varley, the British subject who was al
so captured by Raisuli went out to in
vestigate the cause. They were imme-
diately surrounded by armed Moors,
who bound and maltreated them. Var
ley resisted and was struck on the head
with the butt OF a rife, and knife was
slashed across his hands, making SER
ious wounds. At first 1t was thought
Varley's skull had been fractured.
Perdicaris and Varley were then car
ried away on horseback. They were
roads were taken in order to avoid vii
lages. The bandits stopped at Tsarra-
dent, twenty-four hours from Tangier.
and Raisuli allowed Perdicaris to write
to his wife the next morning. and also
to the shereef OF Wazan. asking him to
Intervene for himself and Varley.
At Tsarradent the captives lived In
filthy hut. They were not allowed to
go 100 yards away from it. and were
strongly guarded When the shereef
Of Wazan arrived big tent was placed
ut the disposal of the prisoners and In
other ways the shereef was the means
Of alleviating their condition to con-
siderable extent.
The attitude of the Moors changed
from insult to fair treatment.
Spies of the pretender. VINO were in
the camp all the time. tried to induce
Varley to accept a post under the pre-
tender.
Raisuli daily called and held long
conversations with the prisoners. He
said anarchy was reigning in the coun-
try The animosity OF the people, he
said, was not directed against the Sui
tan. but against his governors.
Raisulis father. Perdicaris. said, left
him much property and cattle, which
aroused the animosity of the kaids.
who induced the bashaw by presents to
rob Raisuli of his belongings and final
ly to imprison him for four years at
Mogador.
On his release Raisuli interviewed
MouaHWtu Ell IOITeS, icpi picSchtdtiNco vi
the Sultan at Tangier. concerning the
restitution OF his property. and this be-
ing without avail. Raisuli swore. to
take the law into his own hands with
the results already known.
Raisuli said that he bore no Ill will
toward the Europeans. but stated that
the only way to bring the Moorish
government to its senses was by cap
turing Europeans until foreign powers
awaken to a realization of the existing
conditions.
Mr.. Perdicaris said that Raisuli was
posing as a patriot who wants to see
the country happy and peaceful. and he
is offering to accept the responsibility
for maintaining the country from Tan
ger to Fez. and clear it of robbery and
crime If he is backed up by the powers.
He found in Raisuli an educated and
intellectual man.

MoFFAT ROAD EXCURSION.
Opening Of New Line Celebrated by
Denver Chamber Of Commerce.

Denver. June ga train of four
teen magnificent new vestiDuled
coaches in two sections of seven cars
each. carried the Denver Chamber of
Commerce excursion to Mammoth. the
present terminus of the Denver, North
western & Pacific railway, Thursday.
About a thousand members of the
chamber and other citizens went. and
nearly as many more would have gone
if room could have been provided for
them. Preparations had been made for
lunch at the end OF the line. about for
ty-eight miles from Denver, but the
crowd exceeded all expectations and
many came back hungry.
All returned enthusiastic in their
praise of the wonderful scenic attrac-
tions of the route and the exception
ally solid and permanent construction
of the roadway.
At Mammoth a number OF speeches
were made by prominent men. J. F.
Callbreath, Jr., president Of the Cham
Der of Commerce. said:
Denver, the Queen City of the
Plains, has wished for. hoped for,
prayed for the time when 1t would be
upon a through line from the Atlantic
to the Pacific seaboard. The realiza-
ton of our hope came when least eX-
pected.
I'VE have tried for a quarter of
century to interest outside capital IN
this enterprise. and failed. We are as.
sembled to-day to do honor to the
builder. We bow in profound admira-
tion to the mind that conceived this
grand enterprise, the courage that has
without faltering finally trumphed
over every obstacle. This dis
play of confidence in the fu-
ture makes builders Of us all,
for who can falter when our
greatest financier has staked the &C.
enterprise?
And this is not the only obligation
we owe David H. Moffat After the
building of the Union Pacific the pros
poets for Denver were at the lowest,
and her citizens were willing to pull
out at a great sacrifice to more invit-
ing fields. At this critical time in the
history of the state Mr.. Moffat and his
associates saved our fortunes by
building the Denver Pacific from Den
yer to Cheyenne.
'I digress here to acknowledge in
passing our obligation to that other
commonwealth builder who has gone
to his final resting place. | refer to
former Governor John Evans.
"It is, indeed. happy coincidence
that the son of the illustrious man is
the trusted coadjutor of Mr.. Moffat in
the building of this new road.
Then, also. the genius that located
the line, fixed the grades and built the
road, is a Colorado product, and this is
a further matter for felicitation. ! re-
fer of course. to Mr.. Carl Ridgway.
the greatest mountain railroad builder
in the world"

NINE WORKERS
DO NOT CALL OUT MORE MEN
VIII Appeal for Aid to Carry on Strike
In Southern Colorado but viii
Not Order Strike In North
ern Districts.

Pueblo. Colo. June 26.-With yester-
days session the executive committee
of the Fifteenth district, United Mine
Workers of America. adjourned for an
indefinite period.
Although the various members OF
the committee were extremely reti-
cent as to what had been done. 1t was
learned that the principal features Of
public interest were the adoption of an
appeal to the Mine Workers of Amer
lea and the public for aid in the strike
and decision not to call out the union
miners throughout the district who
are not now on strike. unless circum-
stances should be such that 1t Is best
to do SO in the opinion of the execu-
tive committee.
1t was thought for time that every
union miner in the district would be
called out in a supreme effort to win
in the southern Colorado district.
Without stating what their plans are
for continuing the strike, the mem
bers of the executive committee state
that 1t is not probable that any more
miners will be called out for some time
at least.
The appeal that will be made to ev.
cry member OF the organization in the
United States and to the public at
large embraces short history OF the
strike and outlines the conditions OF
the miners throughout the district
This will be sent broadcast through
out the country and is one OF the
methods adopted for raising funds for
continuation of the strike in this
district. The financial support Of the
national organization has been with
drawn and the district will be depend
ent in the future on its own efforts to
raise money for continuance Of the
strike.

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Or. Hartman.-How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition Is due To
anemic nerve centers. The nerve CEN
ters are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centers become bloodless for the
want of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of invalids are produced AZ
IL direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by tho
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at tho
root of the trouble by correcting tho
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve CEN
ters. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life n vitality which cre-
ates strong, steady nerves, and in Tins
manner fortihes and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey a prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, in =
recent letter from 174 Alabama street,
writes: TO society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to the
utmost from lack OF rest and irregular
meals, know of nothing which Is Of so
much benefit a. PerunS. 1 took it .
few months ago whep felt my strength
giving wny, and IL soon made ffseH
manifest In giving mo new strenstA
snd health. '-Mkss Blanche 0rey.
Pe.ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in 80 many homes is that
II contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can bo
used any length OF time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause OF catarrh. There
are Il multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be pos
sible If Peruna contained any drugs OF
narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we arc
peculiarly liable to infiammationso of tho
stomach and bowels. 1t IL the part OF
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the casist and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by its peculiar power
over all forms of catarrhal troubles.

Douglas Island has always been neighborly with Juneau and that feel ing remains undisturbed.
 The great Chicago fire started from a single candle. Every epidemic has started from a single case. The law of self preservation and protection is our right and privilege and our motive in exercising it is solely for the purpose of guarding the large interests of the Island. We are not critising the thoroughness of the methods exercised by tue Juneau council in stamping out the disease or the questionable methods or tardy diagnosis of any doctor. We are taking such steps as no citizen of the Island blessed with common sense would criticise Juneau for doing should we be unfortunate enough to have a contagious disease break out here.
 We hope, as do the citizens of Ju- neau, for speedy ending of the condi- tion which made our act necessity. Seven cases in a small community, and one of them at large, is justification, without explanation, for our proceed ure.
