, Pe-ru-na Contains 40 Narcotics.
Cnereason why peruna has found per-
manentuse in 80 many homes is that it
contains no narcotic Of any kind. Pc
ruua is perfectly harmless. 1t can DO
used any length of time without acquir-
ing n drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. It's permanent
in its effect.
it has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause Of catarrh. There are
q multitude Of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such thing could not be possible il
Peruna contained any drugs Of mar

taken to Caldwell Friday to be ar
raigned before District Judge Frank

him with the murder of former Cover

Orchard, who is alleged to have con-
fessed that he killed Steunenberg, was
arraigned at 2 O'Clock. His hands were
clenched and his eyes were upon the
floor as the Indictment was read.
When asked if he desired counsel he
replied in the negative. The court ap-
pointed c. B. Cox and E. L. Bryan OF
Payette to defend him. Adjournment
was taken to give the attorneys a
chance to talk with their client.
At 4 o'clock Orchard was expected
to plead. He said he had no plea to
make.
The court then decided that plea OF
not guilty be entered. The defendant
was asked if Harry Orchard was his
right name. and he replied that it was.
No time was fixed for his trial.
In the afternoon Orchard was again
taken before the grand jury to give
further information in relation to the
assassination of Steunenberg.
Seven men surrounded Orchard ev-
cry instant from the time he was
placed on board the train at 1880 a. m.
until his return to Boise In the even
ing. His guards were armed with the
latest pattern Winchesters, which they
kept constantly in their hands and
ready for instant use should any at
| tempt be made to harm their prisoner

| testified before the grand jury against
| Orchard and which were subscribed 10
the Indictment according to the law
| were read. They were James McPar
land and Sherman r. Macy. The
names of nineteen persons whose depo
sitions were presented to the grand
Jury as evidence were alse subscribed
| to the document.

Parker on Roosevelt.

Birmingham, Ala.-Judge A. B.
Parker in an interview, said: 1 am
convinced, as far as l am personally
concerned, that Mr.. Roosevelt will ask
for the nomination of the Republican
party for a third term. While this
probably would be disputed If it were
repeated in Washington, am satisfied
that at present this is the intention of
the President. In spite of the fact that
when his nomination in 1904 was an as
sured fact, he made the statement that
under nc circumstances would he
again be a candidate, believe Roose-
welt has intended all along to ask for
the nomination"

HAMILTON is ANGRY.
New York Life Lobbyist Denounces
Trustees.

Albany.-Andrew Hamilton ap-
peared before the insurance investi
eating committee Friday afternoon and
broke the silence which he has main
tanned, except for his statement
brought from Paris by John G. Mccall,
ever since his name was first men
toned in the investigation in connec-
tion with the great sums of money
shown to have been paid to him dur
ing the past ten years on. account of
his legal and Legislative work for the
New York Life and other insurance
companies.
His face flushed and his voice trem-
bling with passion, his arms upraised
and his fists clenched, Judge Hamilton
poured forth a flood of denunciation
and invective upon the members of
the board of trustees of the New York
Life Company, several of whom We're
present, designating them as 'curs and
traitors" and paying especial atten-
ton to one unnamed, whom he de-
scribed as "the Pecksniff of three ad-
ministration, the confidant of the Beers
scandal and the author of the Beers,
pension--who rotates through one ad-
ministration to another and thinks he
is going to be an Indispensable mem
ber OF yet another"
"And do you think" he demanded,
that the man who held the same re-
lation to Mr.. Beers that l did to Mr..
Mccall could sit for thirteen years
since and not know how the expendi-
| lures that were made were to be and
| were disbursed? Yet he, and such
| like him, sit. not judging me as peers,
but Judging me as conquerors, talking
about yellow dogs.

Hearst a mayor instead of martyr,

ord of tragedies of the sea attended

of Sable island and carried to death
twenty-se zen members of the crew.

Irrigation Pipe Line.

Denver.-A Greeley dispatch says:
To-day a survey was made for the lay
ing of mile of pipe from the Boom
erang ditch in the Hazleton district
to a point near the Greeley and Love-
land road. The pipe will do away
with five miles of ditch and several
long fumes. For some time the farm
ers in the Hazleton locality have lost
nearly one-half their irrigation water
from the Boomerang lateral by seep-
age. By the proposed pipe line, which
will cost $4,000, this seepage will be
avoided

BIG SNOWSLlDES.
Interfere With Anthracite Coal Mine
Operations.


Denver-A Republican special from
Crested Butte Wednesday says: The
rotary snow plow and fianger
arrived here at p. m. to-
day from Gunnison, having been
seven hours clearing the track to this
point. The regular train pulled in
thirty minutes later, having double
header engines.
Superintendent Funder came down
from the Smith anthracite mine to-
day and reports slide two miles in
length lying over the track between
here and the mine, and the long bridge
crossing Slate river under twenty feet
of solid snow.
A large amount of timber was car
ried down the mountain and lies bur
led with the snow across the track.
This will have to be cut out with axe
and saw when reached by the rotary.
1t will not be known whether the
bridges are broken and carried away
until the rotary crew reaches them. 1t
will be several days before the road
can be opened to the mine.
The entire Pueblo hard coal mine
buildings are demolished, with por-
tion of the trestle-work of the tram
way. 1t will be impossible to resume
operations here until the snow is gone
and repairs made. The soft coal mine
below town belonging to the same
company cannot resume production
inside of week or ten days.
j. H. Judd from Gothic reports that
the whole side of the mountain be-
tween that town and Washington
guIch has slid over the road and
passed down into Dead Mans gulch q
half mile below.

MANY BAD SLIDES.
Several Hundred Men Shut In BY the
Snow.


Snow.
Denver.-In addition to the disas-
trous slide at the Camp Bird. Ouray
dispatches tell of many other bad
slides. A Sunday night special says:
The following mines are completely
shut on from communication Of this
city and the storm is 30 fierce that it
| Is impossible to reach them:
The Bankers National, employing
eighty men; the Revenue. employing
200 men; the Atlas, employing sixteen
men; the Camp Bird, employing $50
men; the San Pedro, employing six
| teen men.
At 3 O'Clock this afternoon a slide
took out the power line Of the Animas
Mining Company. Later second slide
took three-quarters OF mile of the
power line of the Telluride Power
plant, which furnishes power to the
revenue, San Pedro and Atlas mines.
Robert Pearson OF the Revenue tun-
mel arrived here tonight, bringing with
him the first news of that mine. He
stated that two slides had come down
at 4 o'clock this morning and carried
away 100 feet of snowslides- 1t Is
feared that two other large slides will
come down and carry away the mill
and other buildings Of the company.
Pearson left the Revenue this morn
ing and stated that the trip was ter
rible one. Slides were running on all
sides and he experienced several mar
row escapes. He came over the noun
tain and down the hill where the road
is located, but said there was no sem
blance of the road. When near the
Camp Bird mill he broke one of his
snowshoes and was obliged to finish
his trip to this city with but one shoe.
He reported that the Atlas and San
Pedro were still safe. The severity of
the storm cannot be imagined, old min
ers saying that it is the worst In the
past fifteen to twenty years The dam
age done will amount to hundreds OF
thousands of dollars.
