In letter dated January 1, 1900 Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years expert
ence with Peruna:
II will ever continue to speak a
good word for Peruna. In my rounds

vertisement for Peruna and have in
duced many people during the past
year to use PerlIna with the most
satisfactory results. / am still

Box 272. Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna is
their safeguard, Peruna is the only rem.
edy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally
| nothing but effective systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what
Peruna Is.

The law also requires that the stamp

end of every log cut from state land: the
log is thus identified wherever found as
having been cut from state land some
where, but it is on the bark mark only
that the state has to rely for information
as to the Identical piece Of land from
which the log is cut, and it is only by To-
eating 1t thru this mark in the recorded
permit as coming from a certain piece Of
land that the proper party can be charged
with and made to pay for the logs.

The general stumpage account shows
that there was, during the years 1895 tt
1902 inclusive, stumpage sold at public
auction, in accordance with the provisions
of chapter 1853, laws Of 1895. authorized
by the timber board. consisting of the
governor, state treasurer and state au-
ditor. timber estimated by the state esti-
majors to be 264, 754, 900 feet; that the ag-
gregate value of this timber, as estimated
by the state estimators, was 1915, 1855
that the actual market value Of such
stumpage, as shown by the prices realized
at the sale, was s1,304,953 showing thai
the cruisers underestimate the value Of
the timber to the extent Of 1928, 787. AZ
Allow me to remind you that the average
price obtained for timber sold, at these
stumpage sales. was s4.60 per thousand
while the average price obtained for al

Elements since Jan. /, 1895. as above stat
ed making a total of S226,32864 realized
by the state from this subdivision of the
stumpage account. The records show that
this money was all accounted for and
turned into the state treasury: however,
as has heretofore been shown, it was at
least one-third cheaper to take timber,
by trespass, and settle with the state au-
ditor, than to purchase it from the state,
in a legal way. The records also show
that the same men trespassed on state
timber year after year. sometimes paying
nothing at all; but the records do not
show any case where, during this entire
period, any attempt was made to prose-
cute, under the criminal provisions of this
law, or any Judgment obtained for the
collection of penalties. 1t is common
knowledge that no conviction was had,
during this entire period. 1t must also
be remembered that. prior to 1895 the
state timber law was not so stringent and
mandatory as it has since been; that the
timber values were so low that the in
ducement to steal was very much less;

tried. Unlike mutual life insurance
there is no increase Of age among
the policy holders. Grant county

ance at surprisingly low figure,
which on the average never runs as
high as one per cent. This record

A Living Fossil.


A very unusual demonstration was
recently given to Professor Denny to
his students at Firth college, Shelf
field. Among the most ancient AMI
mails still inhabiting the planet is the
so-called mud fish of Africa. This
creature is worthy of respect, if only
in consideration Of it's antiquity, which
dates far back into the early ages OF
Of the world. The most striking fea-
ture of the mud fish is the possess
sion of lungs as well as gills On the
approach of the dry season, in its natur-
al haunts in Central Africa, it hol-
lows a chandler in the mud and enters
upon rest extending over many
months, during which time it is with
out access to water, and breathes only
air.
While in the mud these creatures
may be dug up and survive even after
a journey across the world in this dry
state. Professor Denny received one
of these mud blocks not long ago. In.
the presence Of the students the hard
block was placed to warm water and
after being exposed for nearly two
hours the fish, that went to sleep in
tropical Africa many months before,
aWoke and came forth from its tenn
porary sepulchre to find Itself i'll

laboratory of Firth college.-New York

The death of John McKelvey, ST.,
at his home on Boice Creek occurred
last Friday morning when the good
old man passed peacefully away.
He was much admired and
respected by his neighbors. His
taking away removes one OF the
early pioneer settlers, having re-
sided for period of more than fifty
years on the farm where death
claimed HIM. The obsequies were
held last Sunday from the family
home to the Congregational church
at this place. The funeral cortege
being the largest in recent years,
attests to the popularity and esteem
in which he was held. He leaves to
mourn his loss one daughter and
three sons. Interment was made
in the family lot at the British Hol-
