THE SOLDIER-ACTOR
Knows the Value OF Pe-rus-nd
By Many Experiences.

In some points the solder and this
actor have similar experiences.
Beth are frequently put to test to tie
full extent of their abilities; both are
subject to constant changes and rev
environments; both are exposed to eli
mate in peculiar ways.
These are not the only points of
agreement. Both regard Perus1a as
the greatest medicine in the word to
prevent catarrhal ailments and 10 cure
catarrhal ills already acquired
The actor and the soldier are among
PerunaS best friends.
Therefore, the Soldier-Actor not
only understands the merits of Peruna
in military campaign, but the useful
ness of Peruna to the one VIE must
stand before the footligIlts every night
and face large and critical audiences.

DIVIDED THE STATE.
Evidence Showing How Standard Mon
OpoIi6ed Oil Trade in Missouri.

Kansas City, July 13.-At the hear
ing of the testimony obtained by the
state attorney general, H. s. Hadley,
to prove a combination of the Stand
ard, the Walters-Pierce and the Re-
public OIL companies, in restraint of
trade in Missouri, was resumed at the
Coates house. Only four witnesses
were examined, but they had all been
one Of the respondent companies.
Their testimony, although given
through a cross fire of objections and
tiresome arguments. was interesting
in showing some of the schemes re-
sorted to by the oil companies to OBJ
tain trade and crush competition.
George w. Musser of Kansas City
travelling salesman for the. Inter
state Oil company, was a witness. He
began in the oil business with the L.
P. Nix Oil company in 1883 and con
tinued with it until 1892, when the
standard Oil company absorbed it,
and, said Mr.. Musser, cit took me,
too. The witness remained with the
standard until 1897, when he went to
the Interstate Oil company. While he
was with the Standard he and all
statesmen were given maps of Missouri
showing where they might sell oil and
Wnlch territory they were to avoid.
IN case OF shipments by competitors
he had instructions to see the BUYERS
and get the business, sometimes by re-
ducfng prices, sometimes by making
presents OF tanks. Mr.. Musser said
that while he was travelling salesman
he always knew when councillors
made shipments and to whom thev
were made. Once he was reprimand-
ed by the head office at Kansas C,itv
for having sold oil at Jerico, in the
Waters-Plerce Oil cCmpany's territory.
Another Claimed Profits.
Mr.. Musser then told how he had once
sold a carload OF candles to a man at
mexico, Mo, which, he found later. was
Waters-Pierce territory. There was a
row about it, he said, because the Wa
ters-Pierce company claimed the profits
on the sale and, Furthermore, received
those profits.
An interesting disclosure came ont in
Mr.. Musser's testimony. He had charge

THOSE FAKE CONTESTS
The SaIina journal Refuses to Enter
Into Them.

The Salina Journal prints a sensible
article On fakes as follows:
The Journal has received a PROPOSE
ton from some professional piano con-
test promoters, offering to make a con-
tract with this paper to promote a con-
test here. The Journal needless to say,
will not take up with the proposition for
several reasons. In the first place, the
Journal is a legitimate newspaper, a
business institution that needs no
chrome thrown in to induce people to
read it.
Readers of the Journal get their
moneys worth, as is testified by the
fact that the Journals daily and semi
weekly list of subscribers increases with
each edition. The Journals subscribers
piano contestants to drum the subscrip-
ton price out of them.
1T cheapens a newspaper to enter
into one of these contests, and 1t is an
insult to the subscribers, because the
object of a piano contest is really to set
a lot of fresh collectors onto them.
In the second place, the piano con-
test business is contrary to the postal
laws and a paper is more than likely to
get mixed up with Uncle Sam. 1t is an
violation.
I'm the third place. the promoters
make good share of the money, with
out any risk to themselves. They pocket
the proceeds and move on to some other
town without benefiting either this city
or county.
THE Journal is well satisfied with the
relations existing between it, at the
present time, and its readers. 1t is de-
lighted with the good feeling manifest
ed for it by the people of this city and
county, and it feels that to enter into
one of these fake contests would be a
breach of faith between the journal
and it's readers.
1.-The benefits of contest would only
be temporary, like a hot air boom to a
city, but after the boom, disaster is sure
to follow. Under the present growth
of the Journals subscription list, the
paper will soon be in the hands of all
it could reach through a contest of this
kind, and there will be no fake meth
DDS used to establish it,

True Circus story.

Prof John H. Andrews. the zool- ogist with the Great Floto shows, gives a most interesting lecture on the habits and characteristics of the many rare specimens which are carried with the show. Two lion cubs a few months old and a couple of 1-year-old Bengal tigers are features of the menagerie exib- it. He tells many interesting stor- ies of circus line.
 "One day the circus and mena- gerie had come to town in the early morning and the men set up the tent in big vacant lot, and were at work getting things ready for the afternoon performance. A good many men and boys, and some lit tie girls, too, were in the lot nearly all forenoon, watching what was going on, but they were particul- arly interested in an elephant and bear that were chained each to stake outside the tent and not very far apart. While they stood about looking at the beast girl 5 to 3 years of age came out of the tent, and, approaching the ele- phant, began to play with him. She took wisp of straw out to him, and when he thrust his trunk toward 1t she would jerk it away and jump back out of his reach.
 "Then she would run all around him and he would touch her with his trunk, in q gentle way, as if he enjoyed the sport as much as she did. People expected to she the little girl killed, but they found out she was the daughter of one of the managers, who allowed her to play with the elephants whenever she pleased.
 Meanwhile, the big black bear was watching them, and soon began to show signs of not liking the play. He was evidently in a bad humor, but the girl was so full of her fun with her friend, the ele- phant, that she paid no attention to the bear.
 Presently, in jumping back to get out of the way of the elephants trunk, she got within reach of the bear, and he seized her with his paw and would no doubt have kill led her, but the elephant gave him a blow with his trunk that laid him on the ground severely injured.
 Then there was great excite ment; men yelled and boys and girls screamed, and a dozen circus men came running to see what was the matter They found the little girl only slightly hurt, while the old elephant rocked himself to and fro in unmistakable delight over what he had done"
