the rate Of interest it is entitled to

never do this properly. 1t is a mat

be used for the purpose of determln-

rate of interest on the investment.

Senator Bailey also admits the correct
ness of his position. The bill pro-
vided further that every Interstate

the same thing. A tax of 10 per cent

MRS. MARSHALL
SUFFERED WITH
SYSTEMIC CATARRH.
PE-RU-NA SAVED HER.

Mrs, Viola Marshall, LII East jack
son street, Springfield, ILL.,, writes:
"Two months ago when l sought
your advice, and you told me that 1
was suffering from systemic catarrh,
I had gotten SO bad that could not
bear the jolt of walking and had to lie
down most of the time.
81 began taking your Peruna and now
feel like new woman.
81 can walk just as far as please
without feeling any fatigue and have
taken only three bottles of Peruna.
81 shall never cease praising Peruna,
nor thanking DR.. Hartman for his kind
advice"
Systemic catarrh claims many victims
because this disease is not always un-
derstood, and therefore not correctly
treated.
WHAT'S needed is an internal catarrh
remedy which exerts a healing effect
on the mucous membranes of the entire
body.
Such remedy Is Peruna. The sim
cere letters of those who have expe-
rienced it's benefits in such cases are
evidence Of its medicinal value.

sHALLENBARGER ON ISSUES
ShalIenbarger
Alma Issued the Following
Open Letter to Voters

II presume the prime object in call
ing the democratic convention prior to
the republican gathering was that we
might announce our principles before
the republicans appropriated them to
themselves. No recognized demo-
cratic policy is now safe from being
seized upon by republican conven-
ton when seeking public support. The
democratic committee was right in
giving the party which has been bat
Ting for these policies for years the
first chance to proclaim them to the
people. Let us see to it that the
party's declarations are positive in
tone, not mere negative protests and
calamitous complaints against exist
ing order. Let us suggest a definite
action and purpose. No ratings in
general against admitted wrongs, how
ever eloquent the language or united
the chorus, will suffice in 1906.
Both parties are making taxation
and control of the trusts and corpora
lions the issue and more especially as
applied to railroads. A demand for a
| 2-cent passenger rate is definite pro-
gram easily understood. 1t would ben
eft every citizen and largely take
| care of the free pass question. The
surest way to make man or cor
| poration stop doing some wrong is
| to make that wrong Improbable. The
prohibition of the pass evil is a con-
summation to be wished, but it will
not be the positive relief which the
fare paying public demands. 1t is like
the rebate in the freight question. The
stopping Of the rebate is to be de-
sired, but that of itself will not re-
duce the freight rate, the real thing
that the public is clamoring for.
81 believe both parties will favor
| the constitutional amendment to es-
tablish an elective railroad commits
| sion. but this commission will fail to
regulate rates just as the interstate
commerce commission has always
failed and probably will fail in the
future because every rate must finally
stand or fall upon this question:
docs it allow sufficient profit up.
on the capital invested in the road?
Senator LaFollette says: The
commission must be empowered to ap-
praise the value of the roads before
the courts can determine what is a
fair rate This is the rock that the
Nebraska maximum rate law went to
pieces upon. Any commission that
fails to have the power of appraisal
conferred upon it will be failure and
farce. Just as the property of cor
porations is appraised by boards oil

IMPRESSIONS FROM THE DONGSHANG
CONFERENCE

The writer was not a member of this conference
but an invited and much interested guest. Dong
shang is Old broken down county seat or
hsien city, about twenty-five miles west of Kaste-
ing. 1t is the city occupied bv Rev p +
Price and DR.. Shields and their families of orr
mission. There is nothing whatever of interest
or beauty in the place. 1t is the deadest CITY that
| have seen in China and have seen good
many. AS land is cheap and abundant in the CITY.
Brother Price has enclosed quite good deal of !,
in his mission compound
But the conference and the formation of a Pres
bytery were intensely interesting and inspiring
There were about native delegates from all
over Central China Mission and about TWEEN
ty missionaries, representing four central stations
about twelve organized churches and o85 native
Christians.
There is steady and pretty rapid growth all
over and at almost every point of the wide
occupied by this mission. The order and decor
um with which the native brethren can CON
duct the meetings and themselves, the ability and
practical good sense of the native preachers the
cheerful hopefulness of all was certainly most en-
couraging. | scarcely know of a more hopeful
better organized work in China than the
Dongshang field.
Perhaps the most hopeful of all and that which
gives the greatest promise for the future was the
large number of candidates" that came before
the newly-framed Presbytery to be examined and
received under its care. At least twenty were eX-
amined and several more not present.
But there was one feature of the conference in
which order Conspicuous for its absence"
| mean the babel of patos represented by the diff
erent speakers. In spite of the fact that the writ
er has more or less Qess rather than more) ac-
quantance with this confusion of tongues" it
kept him constantly the alert to catch what
some of the speakers said. There is perhaps
nothing provokingly discordant than the
Chinese spoken language, especially south of the
Iang-ts River; unless it be various dialects else
where in the world.
But we thoroughly and keenly enjoyed the con-
terence and the kind hospitality of our host and
hostess, Mr.. and Mrs Price
