ton; They are conscious that they stand
the duty of strictly and honestly enforc-
ing all the regulations and laws of the
city, and that the nations power is back
of them to uphold what they do and to
punish those that would resist. In that
stability lies the secret of Washington's
municipal success, and that sense of sta
bility will be secured in all cities only
when a permanent tenure of office and
civil service reform are established.
I'VE may be thankful that a growing
public sentiment is more and more insist
ing on a strict enforcement of all laws,
municipal as well as state and national.
And we may also be thankful for the
bright examples which are furnished by
many in every station, from the lowest to
the highest, of rigorous insistence on ODE

UNFI1NCHING PURPOSE THE THING.
After all, in the long struggle for civic
purity and righteousness, radiance must
be placed not upon the mere modes of adj
miniStration of forms of government but
on the unfiinching purpose; The man be-

movements are spasmodic and last only
for one campaign. The difficulty is that in
all reform forces there are two consldera-
BILE factors. One consists of those who, be-

ton TO share in the offices and profits,
and the other is those who believe in the
reform movement only so far as it carries

MOUNTAINS OF SNOW.
Trains on Northern Roads Are
Buried in the Drifts.

ST. Paul, Mimi, March 30.-The first
transeontinental train to get through
the snow blockade in North Dakota
reached St Paul over the Great North
ern road today. Another train came in
during the afte rnoon and two more be-
fore midnight. The officials report that
the line was again opened and tratf1c
has been resumed. although there is
still some delay. No Northern Pacific
coast train has yet reached st. Paul.
and the road is still tied up west OF
Dickinson, N. d. 1t is expected. how
ever, that the blockade will be broken
tomorrow. Passengers on the delayed
trains state that they were well cared
for, and beyond the Inconvenience OF
being tied up there was no suffering.
The trains were held at division points
when It was seen that the line was
likely to become blockaded. and the
passengers were taken to hotels TO re-
main until the company could clear the
track of the immense snowdrifts.
Officials of the northern lines state
that there has been one of the f1ereest
battles with the snowdriftS they have
ever experienced. and even the I'M
mense rotary plows which We're sent
against the drifts, pushed by three
heavy engines, were almost powerless
to cope with the huge mountains of ice
and snow, and that in many instances
blasting had to be resorted to.

When President Burt resigned and
Mr.. Hartman was elected president it
was generally believed that he would

The appointment of Mr.. MohIer to the
place is not altogether a surprise, for
when the many changes were an
nounced last week among officials of
the Hartman lines it was noiSed about
that Mr.. Mohler would be the Unloa
Pacific's president. Officials and direc-
tors of the Hartman system of rail-

that this change would be made.

directing the affairs of the road he has
always had an eye to the welfare of

ON THE FREE LIST.
Grain Can Now Be Shipped in the
East for Almost Nothing.

The New York lines promptly met the
latest cut of the Pennsylvania, Reading
and Lehigh railroads on ex-lake grain
rates which went into effect yesterday.
The latest rates having reached the
point where a further cut to maintain
the mill difference in favor of Phila-
delphia would put grain actually on the
free list, it was announced yesterday
by traffic officials of the Pennsylvania
railroad that no further action would
be taken at this time. Under the pres
ent circumstances the differential of
mills in favor of Philadelphia on ex-
lake grain is wiped out. 1t is expected,
however, that some important an

WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES
Regard Peruna as Their Shield Against Catarr Coughs Colds
Grip and Catarrhal Diseases.

Colds are considered one of the neces-
sary ills of life. One is liable to catch
cold both summer and winter.
Very often a cold is the starting point
or cause of a lengthy and dangerous
catarrhal disease
Colds are always dangerous and
should never be neglected a day.
A cold is the beginning of catarrh. It
may cause catarrh of any of the in
ternal organs-the head throat, lungs
stomach and pelvic organs. A remedy
that will cure cold then, would cure
all these direct effects of colds.
Peruna is such a remedy. We have
letters from all over the United States
attesting to this fact. The poor and
rich alike use and recommend it.
Cure a Cold Before it Develops Into
CatarrE1.
Miss Helen Sauerbier, st. Joseph,
Mich, writes:
Last winter / caught a sudden cold
which developed into an unpleasant ca
tarrh of the head and throat, depIiving
me of my appetite and usual good spir-
its. A friend who had been cured by
Peruna advised me to try it and 1 sent
for bottle at once, and I am glad to
say that in three days~t the phlegm had
loosened, and 1 felt better, my appetite
returned and within nine days 1 was in
my usual health
