into it is not unlikely that the.
authorities may lay the blame upon
the government steamboat inspectors

not to allow one union to appeal to
another in case Of strikes, or other

resolution, providing that the juris-

into ten autonomous districts, with
Canada as a separate district, will
probably be defeated. The fight Is, In
part, geographical one. The officers
of the international are eastern men,

felt that they should be given a
stronger voice in the affairs of the

Special to The Journal
Faribault, Mimi, June 16.-Judge L. w.
Collins and Frank M Nye spoke last
night to an audience Of 600 or 700, who
had assembled at the invitation of the
Collins club.
Judge Collins spoke Of the merger as
the real issue. 1t was not, he said, as
Mr.. Dunn contended, dead issue, but
will remain live issue for twenty five
years. The issue is between those who
believe that corporations should be con-
trolled by government and those who are
Of different opinion. He believed in
controlling them.
Referring to the decision of the SUI
preme court, from which he dissented.
that the normal schools and the state
university were under the control of the
state board, the judge said that the mat
ter was for the legislature to decide. For
his part, he believed in taking the edu-
cational institutions away from the board
Of control.
He referred to the enmity which had
existed between Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Heat
wole. Mr. Dunn he said, had called Heat
wole a tadpole and had criticized him
severely in times past. Now the two are
together and, in the speakers opinion,
their object is to serve a common enter
prise in which Mr.. Hill is a partner.
Mr.. sNye's speech was over an hour
long He paid a glowing tribute to Judge
Collins, and declared that r. G. Dunn
was an unfit man to be governor.

L, when plans were being prepared,
there was some discussion as to
whether it would be desirable to put
In fully equipped theater stage. This
matter was discussed at several meet
1ngs Of the committee and we were
ADVISED that there would be no de-
mand for stage Of this kind. We
were Informed by the president of the
Roosevelt club that the building was
too large for them to use for light
opera, and we were informed by
Others, supposed to be well posted
that there would be little opportunity
for securing grand opera, even if a
theatrical stage were provided The
plans were therefore made for SYM
phony stage, which was all that was
contemplated in the original PROPOSE
ton. ~.. r.-.. 81. - = :,
Enlargement of Stage.
within the last few days the
Roosevelt club has decided it would
ItAiNS; ~ use Lie Du1lulIlS,- ana some
persons interested in musical matters
have urged that a fully equipped the
atrical stage be provided in order that
the building may be used for grand
opera. To make this provision would
require that the portion Of the build
ing over the stage be- six stories in
height instead Of four and the extra
expense In the construction Of the
building would $4,000, and $4,000
would be required for the stage equip
ment. This would bring the total cost
of the building up to $4,000, aside
from the value Of the land.
The insurance company has al
ready done more than it agreed to,
1t is, however, DESTROYS of providing
"a building which shall meet all re-
qSirements. Mr.. Becchtel was called
out Of the city last night, but before
leaving he authorized me to say that
If the applications for insurance were
brought Up to 100000, the amount
required by the company's original
proposition, he would put In fully
equipped theatrical stage, which
should be f1rst-class in every partfcu-
lar.
while the committee hoped that
1t was thru with it's labors, 1t will con-
ttnue It's efforts with the hope Of Sc
curing the additional 100000 insur-
Iance and thereby providing the fully
equipped theatrical stage. The com
Intttee believes, however, that those
who are DESTROYS of having the build
ing provided with such a stage should
take hold of the matter and give the
committee some assistance In secur-
Wy the balance Of the insurance.

The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
In a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial meth

Peruna has cured more cases Of dyspep-
STA than all other remedies combined,
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 or bronchial tubes
Peruna cures 1t. 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 dys-
pepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy Pc
runa cures dyspepsia because it is gem
