CALLFOR FEDERAL MONEY
Secretary Shaw Makes Request or
Banks For Government Deposits.
Funds to Be Used For the Payment OF
h S~4O,Oco,OOO Purchase of Canal
Property From Panama Company.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Shaw
issued the expected call on the Fed.
eral depository banks in New York
City for a percentage Of their depos.
its of Government moneys to enable
the United States to pay over to the
Republic of Panama $40, 5000 on ac-
count of the Panama Canal.
The New York national banks which
are Government repositories are to be
called on for twenty per cent. of the
Federal moneys in their possession on
or before March %.
The Secretary also issued a call for
the depository banks in other parts of
the country to turn over to certain in-
t%ermediary banks in New York for
the use of the Government twenty per
cent. Of the Federal moneys which
they have on deposit. These funds are
to be used, with current funds in the
Treasury, for the payment of the $780,
100000 purchase of canal property
rights from the new Panama Canal
Company of France. The moneys are
to be turned in by these outside banks
on or before March %.
The Panama Government asked sew
eral days ago that payment be made
at ice of the SIC, 900 to which the
republic vas entitled under the treaty,
as the money was needed very badly.
About $5,000,000 of the $40, 1000
to be paid to the canal company will
remain in this country. 1t is said that
half of it will cover legal fees. The
Panama Republic has contracted obi
cations in New York amounting to
about a million dollars, and this will
be paid out of the bonus. Eight mil
lion dollars approximately is to be in
vested by the Panama Republic in
Government bonds in this country, so
that only 81, ZOO, 900 of the $4,000, 600
is likely to leave the United States.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it q local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. j. Cheney Il Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally In doses
from 10 drops to a tea%spoonful. 1t acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the

Want Game Refugees.

The New Jersey State Board of Fish
and Game Commissioners in its annual
just issued recommends that refugees
be established for game. Hundreds of
acres could be devoted to refugees at a
small rent. The cost of a game refuge,
the commission says, need not be large
and no additional appropriation would
be necessary. With the money saved
from trips to the West for fish the COM
mission could give the matter a fair
trial. AT a low rental a well watered
woodland could be secured for the es-
tablishment of at least one refuge,
where there would be absolute prohi-
bition of shooting. Out of the appro-
priation and receipts, which amounted
to $43,691.32, there was expended $780,
003.31, leaving a balance of $14,693.61,
which was returned to the Controller.

Hartigan's Stableman Killed.

on the farm of Hubert Hartigan, who,
as coachman for President Granville
w. Garth, of the Mechanics National
Bank, of New York, gained some pub
licity at the time of Mr.. Garth's sui
eide, was killed suddenly at Morris
town. He and a farm hand known
only as Jim started out late n night
in a runabout to meet some of Harti-
gan's friends, who were to arrive on
the train at Madison. No one met the
party. Searchers found Roach dead
under the horse in a ditch on the Mad
ison and Whippany road. The horse
had evidently overturned the runabout
and had fallen in such a way as to
smother Roach. The stableman's com
panion, Jim, has not been seen since

and Mrs. Henderson, a widow. Mrs.
Henderson's two daughters are badly
burned and n may die.
A report has been received at Fort
Sill that an entire Apache Indian vii
lage was swept Clean.
The soldiers at Fort Sill were or
dered out to fight the flames, and rem

At Anadarko many farm buildings
were burned. No lives are reported
lost, but there were numerous narrow
escapes. Women and children, scant-
lily clad, fled to plowed ground. while
the men remained to fight the flames,
in an endeavor to save property.
The damage by wind extends over
seven counties in the southwest. The
total losses from fire and storm are esti-
mated at about 100000. Hastings,
Olustee, Leger, Walter, Granite. Elk
City, Cache, Temple, Snyder, Willow,
Bloomington, Sayre and Mountain
Park all report damage both in town
and the surrounding country by wind.
Scores of people are suffering from
burns and broken legs or arms.
Salina, Kansas.-Reports are being

IN the northwestern part of the State,
the court house, Jail, a lumber yard
and fifty residences are reported de-
stroyed, and one woman is said to
have been burned to death. Wires to

with their teams in the prairie fires
and of many persons being seriously
burned are numerous.

ular teacher in the public schools at
Owensville, is hopelessly insane on
account of having stood by and

whip thirty of her pupils.
Miss Montgomery's pupils have
been unmanageable, and the princi-

wrought up by the sight, and when
the principal had finished his job, she
was walking the floor pulling her

they could do to get her home. Later

BIG COINAGE IN FEBRUARY.
U. S. MINIS Production Equalled That
of Six Months.

Washington, D. C.-The coinage of
the minis of the United States in Feb
ruary amounted to half as much as
the entire coinage of the fiscal year

to the gold coinage which was neg
lected last year on account of the de-
mands on the minis for turning out a
large amount of special silver coinage
for the Philippine Islands.
The total February coinage was $751;
1O0,S50, of which $50, 500, 800 was in
gold; $1,475,000 in silver, and $22,350
in five-cent pieces. For the first time
in many months there was no copper
coinage in February. Besides the do
nestle coinage the minis turned out
9,545,000 silver coins for the Philip
pines in February.

HOW TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ESCAPED

Catarrh Robs Women of Health and Beauty.
Peruna Makes Women Healthy and Beautiful.
Miss Amanda johnson, Fairchild, Wis, writes:

Miss Amanda Johnson, Fairchild, Wis, writes:
81 write to tell you how much Peruna benefited me. For
a number of years L had pain in my head around my eyes,
and 1 thought it W as because my eyes needed treatment, 90 i
went to an oculist and had glasses fitted to my eyes and
wore them for ONE time, but felt no relief whatever. In
fact, I felt worse than before, and came to the conclusions
that the trouble was not with my eyes, but with my head
and that it must be catarrh. AS so many of my friends had
used Peruna with benefit for this trouble, l thought l would
try it. l was not sorry that l did so, for in a short time I
began to improve, and in four weeks my eyes were in splen-
did condition, my general health was much improved and all
the catarrh of the head was gone. 1 was glad to get rid Of
this trouble, and am glad to endorse such a good medicins
as Peruna."-MisaA Amanda Johnson
