ing the animals. When the smoke
penetrated the cages the animals be-
came wild with fear and began max &.

crowds remained. until the elephants
began trumpoting, when every body
took 10 their heels. The roaIs OF the

reigned for moro than an hour. The
elephants. which were in tho car
nearest the IRE, attempted 10 beat

THE season of catching cold is upon

THE season of catching cold is upon
i us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic
catarrh, the most common and dreadful
of diseases, is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Thenfollows Sensitivenes SIS of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has
a cold all the while seemingly, more or
less discharge from the nose. hawking,
splitting, frequent clearing of the throat,
nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the
head and sore, inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at
the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna
properly used never fails to cure a com
mon cold, thus preventing chronic
catarrh.
While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as rnle, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. It is the best. if not the only
internal remedy for chronic catarrh in
existence.
Butpreventioni is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore
throat at this season of the year and
thus prevent what is almost certain to
end in chronic catarrh.

sHAFRoTH QUITS HIS SEAT.
Democratic Congressman from First Col
oradO District Confessed That He Was
Elected by Fraudulent Votes.

Washington, Feb. 16-Representa-
tive Shafroth, from the Denver (Col.)
district, voluntarily reliquished his seat
in the house at the converting of that
body Monday. The contest for his seat
by Robert W. Bonyinge (rep.) and the
examination of ballots, he said, re-
vealed fraud in 20 precincts. If he was
a judge on the bench he would have
to find against himself and he invited
the elections committee to present
resolution seating Bonyinge. The
statement created sensation and at
its conclusion great applause was heard
on both sides of the house. Chairman
Olmstead, of the elections commission
considering the case, paid high trib-
ute to Mr.. Shafroth, saying although the
action was a surprise, the case showed
that the frauds in the election were not
chargeable in any way to Mr.. Shat
roth.
The house unanimously agreed to
resolution declaring r. w. Bonyige en-
titled to the seat from the First Colo
ado district.

Che Foo, Feb. ia reliable au-

boats have been sunk by guns from
the forts. They were mistaken fer
japanese vessels.
The Russian Vladivostock squadron
is still in sight, cruising in the sea of
Japan. A report to the effect that
Natsuima, on the inland sea, has been

gasaki state that absolute reticence Is
maintained by the government. An in
tense war feeling prevails among all
classes, although there is apparent alb

ing features of the situation are the
strict censorship which is exercised
over all cablegrams and the close con-
cealment of military and naval move
ments.
The mobilization of the japanese
army has been carried out methodi-
cally. 1t is estimated that 300, 000
troops are now ready to be placed in
the field, without impairing the ma
tional defenses. The movements of the
troops is shrouded in secrecy. They
are being moved at night toward their
bases at Sasebo, Kure Moji and Yo-

trains are extinguished when in the
