 Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
 One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotics of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir- ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro- duce temporary results. It is permanent in Its effect.

Fictitious Values Utterly Eliminated by
 Collapse of the Speculative Boom.

Fictitious Values Utterly Eliminated by
 Collapse of the Speculative Boom. From Detroit News.
 According to the report of the New York Stock Exchange, the aggregate value of securities listed during the first six months of 1904 amounts to $41.527,300, while in the heyday of the spring lamb season of 1901 the aggre- gate listing was $i,273.5S7,575. Then came the shearing season. and much fleece was gathered by the clippers of wool and coupons. One might as we'll seek the morning mists of that year of prodgality as to seek the values so royalty paraded. The water ran out of the stocks. was dissipated into va DOT. and the vapor was waited away. In 1902 the listing as 75 per cent. less; 1903 saw d falling off of $25,000, 900 more, and She present year will prob- ably see listing that will not be more than per cent of that banner season for the shearing of lambs.
 Is it any wonder that the shearers are clamorng for an unsafe and insane administration? In their clamor they leave out the reversing prefixes, but that is what they mean. They shriek for reSuett of the law, when the lax ity of the law permits them to take both wool and hide. They insinuate that the government is running amuck when 1t enforces the law against mer- ger operations. While 1t is apparent that the government is not disposed to let the corporations and the promoters run amuck, separating the gullible pub lie from its loose change, capitaliza- tion of bubble schemes and plain swim dies will be very modest.
 IL is patent that the country has seen no billion-dollar slump of actual values since 1901. It is equally patent that the organization of capital f''r that year did not anticipate all the pos abilities of legitimate creation for years to come. The plain fact is de- monstrable that more than a billion of artificial creations md equally arti- fiCial destructinns of \ almes haYA tak-

Line Up of the Bremen.

| Gloomy was the expression which lcrept across the face of Captain Will Taylor, Manager of the base ball team of the police department, when in his private office, a lineup of the team of the fire department, which his aggre- gation is to meet on July 20. was shown him.
 Why. I thought these men claimed | to be firemen." exclaimed the Police Captain, when he had sufficiently re- covered his breath after reading the lineup. But now l discover that the city of Montgomery has been paying a crowd of professional ball players, who have been patiently awaiting their chances to do things to my department. Wait a minute, I'll call Carrigan."
 Carrigan entered. Three fingers were wrapped in soft cotton. Precipitation rolled from his brow.
 "Carrigan." asked the Captain, What think you of this team?"
 Carrigan read and as each of the names of the fire players. was spelled out. his smile changed to a sigh.
 The list was: John Boatwright, cen- ter field Max Sykes, first base: Arthur kohn, pitcher. E. Eggs, catcher; F. J. short stop; Jim Roady, third base; J '. c. Searcy. left field; Joe Sykes. substi- ute.

Decrease in Rice CrOp,

Ed Morris, manager Of the South
western plantation south of Welsh,
was in Jennings Saturday and to a
Progress reporter said: The rice crop
in the Lacasine rice belt is further ad-
yanced now than was ever before
known and with the continuance of
the present favorable weather the crop
will be marketed early.
There is scarcely planter through
out the belt who will not begin har-
vesting his crop during the early part
of next week and about September |
the Lacasine rice crop will be in the
shock.
"How about the average in your
section?' asked the reporter.
After conservative estimate my
view is that there is decrease OF %
per cent in comparison to last year.
