RICHARDSON TALKS
 OF NEXT PRESIDENT
PRIOR TO HIS DEPARTURE FOR
 WASHINGTON THE CONGRESS- MAN GIVES HIS vlEWS--HE SAYS GoRMAN IS GAINING STRENGTH.

Huntsville. January 2.-tspeciaf) )-Rep- resentative William Richardson. member of congress from this district, departed for Washington this afternoon to attend congress. He expects that very little im- portant legislation will be enacted at this session and that an adjournment will be taken early in June before the national republican convention assemblies Toueh- ing on national politics Judge Richard son said;
 Senator German is gaining in strength not only in the south but in the eastern states and the indications now are that our presidential nominee will be one of three distinguished democrats, German, Parker or Olney. Senator German by reason of his familiarity with public legis- lation and public men of the country is probably better equipped for President than either of the other distinguished democrats. In my opinion, the democratic party was never more dependent on New York than it is now and the situation re- solves itself simply into this That the man whom the New York democracy en- dorses will become the nominee of our party for President. The national plat form will be wise, conservative along true democratic lines and worthy of the cor dial support of all democrats as well as the men who represent the great bushes interests of our country. l believe the masses of the party will be more unitei in the approaching campaign than they have been in twenty years. MT. Cleve- lands course indicates that his great power and influence will be exerted for the success of our national ticket
 'If the Panama treaty is ratified by the senate. MT. Roosevelts conduct in the premises will serve to add to the general distrust and anxiety felt throughout the country as to him. have great faith that the nominee of our party will defeat MT Roosevelt. He has created uneasi- ness, uncertainty and anxiety in the bus mess affairs of the people and every reas-1 onable indication points to the fact v we will carry the state of New York in the next presidential election That will draw into our columns the states of Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jer- sey."
 Judge Richardson does not believe that the rivers and harbors bill will pass dur ing this session He will ask an appro- priation of $500, 900 for carrying on the work at Colbert shoals in the Tennessee river and believes that the amount Will he appropriated. This would insure the early completion of the canal at Colbert shoals, he said, and when this is done our great Tennessee river will be naVlga- be from Decatur to Paducah.

When to Treat a Cold.

The treatment of colds ought to begin with the appearance of the first symp- toms. Since a cold has the variable effect of producing congestion of some mucous surface, the remedy for it ought to operate there also. The compound Peruna was devised with especial refer ence to this effect. It operates by in- creasing the circulation In the mucous membranes of the whole body. and no matter where the cold may have settled. whether in the head th1oat. lungs, kid neys or urinary organs, Peruna will im- mediately relieve the congested men,- brane and stop the discharge.

 For several years I was troubled with catarrh of the head, having head ache almost constantly. The discharge from the catarrh which made my breath very bad kept dropping in my throat. few bottles of Peruna soon relieved me of this terrible disease, and I cannon say too much in praise of your medi- cine.

 Mrs. H. E. Adams, ex-Ppresident Pal metto Club of New Orleans. La, writ g from no Garfield Court, South Bend. Ind, follows: q am pleased to en- dorse Peruna, as I took 1t about year ago and it soon brought me relief from a cold on my lungs, which threatened to be serious. The lungs were sore and infamed, I coughed a couple of hours every night and I felt something must be done before my lungs became af- fected. I tried Peruna and found that 1t was able to bring about speedy cure.
 If you do not receive prompt and sat- isfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving n full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
