Is \ Now Just Coming TO Trial.

Is \ Now Just Coming 10 Trial.
The suit of Miss Mary d. Cegan to re-
cover from the estate Of John II. Drake,
who died in 1890. the value of eighteen
| SI.OOp bonds Of the Charlest On, Clendenning
and Sutton Railroad Company. is likely to

been pending for nine years.
Miss Gegan WIS originally in the employ
of the Drake 4 Stratton Company, Limited,
builders of railroad bridges, of which John
n. Drake was the principal member. He
engaged her as his housekeeler, in which
capacity she worked for ten years. She
nirsed HIM when he was sick, and when
he made his will in 1891 he left herthn in
come from S25 900. aud promised, il he
lived, to leave her more.
To carry out this intention, Miss GeGan
saws, he too; the eighteen bonds and put
them in an envelope en- which was Inscribed
Belonging to Mary d. Gegan." The en-
velope he put with his other PAPERS IN a
safe deposit vault with the Vest End Trust
Company of Philadelphia.
Drake told several persons, including
his brother and her mother, Miss Gegan
says, that the bonds were hers. He also
told his partner, William d. Stratton, she
says. On his death she turned over his
keys to his brother, William S. Drake, who
in turn handed them over TO the Union
Trust Company, the executor under the
will. The will was admitted in Orange

Middletown,
Miss Gegan demanded the delivery of the
, bonds. but it was refused, n she began
her suit in 1897, to impress a trust on the
bonds and enjoin the company from dis
posing of them. Various changes of at
! torneys and other Incidents, such as the
death of Wheeler H. Peckham, who was
retained in the case, have caused the nine
wears delay.

When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system, it becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
A systemic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ Of the body-is an
absolute necessity.
Peruna is just such a remedy. 1t searches
out the cause Of the disease, healing and
strengthening the mucous membranes,
and thus giving Nature an opportunity to
perform her part of the restorative process.
One of the many hospitals which have
found Peruna of value in treating old and
obstinate cases Of catarrh is the Hospital
st. John, who write as follows:
We are happy to tell you that your
Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three
patients nave tried it, one IS years old,
Renoui Dupuis, afflicted with catarrh, is
much relieved, more than he has been
for a number of years.
"a young girl, rs years old, had an
obstinate cough, which half a bottle of
Peruna caused TO disappear.
AS to myself. two bottles have con-
vinced me that Peruna is magnificent as a
tonic.

THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY.
Very Little Loose Leaf on the
Market.

Practically no loose leaf tobacco was offered
on the South Boston Wa.) market last week,
and little is left in the hands Of the plant
ers. who are busy with farm work An un-
precedented drought for this time of year
in the bright tobacco belt will cause the
crop to be planted later this year than for
several years past, but, with favorable
growing weather THE weed will mature
and ripen on time. Only about 10 per cent
Of the crop was planted the first week In
May, when there was light rain, and not
half of that has survived the dry, windy
weather. An average crop will probably be
cultivated
At Lynchburg the receipts were SO, COO
pounds, indicating the crop is about all
sold. The cold weather did much less DAM
age than was feared, and did not damage
the growing tobacco plants in the least
The farmers are busy preparing their land
for planting, and plants are plentiful If
there should be season for planting,
considerable portion of the crop will be
planted during the coming week.
At Durham, N. c., very little loose leaf
tobacco has been sold for some time, and
little will be until the new crop begins to
come In. Quite number OF farmers have
transplanted good proportion of their
crops and while there have been local
season unsuited to the growth of the young
plants. Friday was the thirty-f1fth ami
versary of Durham as a tobacco market
and the pioneer. Fl. A. Reams, who opened
the first sales-warehouse. Is still resident
OF the city.

RIO. .GRANDE. WATERS
TREATY SIGNED By SECRETARY
ROOT AND SENIOR cAsAsUs.

Secretary Root, for the United States. and
Senior Casasus for the Mexican government.
today signed treaty regulating the use OF
the waters OF the Rio Grande, which--if ap-
proved by the Senate. will remove what has
been for twenty years past source Of fric-
ton in the relations of the two countries.
For almost a century the Mexicans living
along the lower river have made large use
Of its waters for the purpose of frrigating
their lands. But In recent years private
companies on the upper waters In the
United States have, by the construction OF
wing dams. diverted a large part of the
water to this side of the river. The Next
cans have preferred claims for the damage
sustained. but so far without success. Now
the great plans of the reclamation service
have made 1t certain that practically all
of the water will be retained ON United
States territory, unless some proper scheme
Of division can be arranged. The construc
ton of the $I,OO0,0O0 dam across the Rio
Grande at Engel, New Mexico brought the
matter to a climax and led to negotiations
between the two countries which have cul-
minated in the treaty just signed.
fhe underlying, principle of the conven-
ton Is the recognition of the common law
right of the Mexicans to the use of q fair
United States government Is put to the
entire expense of building the great dam
and canals. the Mexican share is only
fractional proportion of the whole flow. 1t
is estimated that the impounded waters will
suffice to irrfgate about 100000 acres Of
otherwise arid land, and 1t is stipulated that
OF that total. 10000 acre feet of water.
which will make arabic about 25,00O acres
of land, will be delivered on the Mexican
side of the border each year. For it's part,
the Mexican government guarantees to ex-
empt the United States from liability for
the claims of all individual Mexicans who
ailege they have already suffered through
the diversion of water.
Opposition to the treaty Is expected on
the part of some of the western senator's
who believe that either the United States
is entitled to all Of the water without COM
pensation, In view of the great expense to
which 1t has been put by the work of con-
structlng the irrigating dams and canals
or that If the Mexican right is to be recog-
nized at all, its title should be purchased
outright by cash payment.

At THE WHITE HOUSE
Statehood for Oklahoma and
Indian Territories
TO GO THROUGH AS RIDER
On One Of the Big Appropriation
Bills.
FAILURE OF THE CONFEREES
To Agree Upon the Differences Be-
tween Them-Senator Beveridge
to Speak in Paris.
FAILURE OF THE coNFEREEs

Statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Ter
rftory will go through Congress as rider
to an appropriation bill.
The President has been appraised of the
necessity for this, owing to the absolute
failure Of the conferees of the Senate and
House to agree upon the differences be-
tween them. He is understood to have ex-
pressed his willingness that this be done,
although the proposition means that state
hood will go through without reference 70
Arizona and New Mexico. which the Presi-
dent had desired be coupled with Okla homa
and Indian Territory.
Senator Beveridge, whose plan for joint
statehood for the four territories was sig
nally defeated in the Senate, and who is at
present one of the conferees on the bill, has
talked several times with the President
and other republican leaders have advised
that there seems no possibility of the SEN
ate and House getting together as matters
now stand. For that reason Senate repub-
ncans of a conciliatory disposition have
fixed upon the plan of placing the Senate
proposition for statehood as a rider on one
OF the large appropriation bills. Althouh
the measure will not carry the House views
as to statehood, the belief Is widespread
That the House would accept 1t rather than
imperil an appropriation bill An excuse
would be furnished the House to back down
from Its position. AS matters now are
there is little excuse and that body refuses
70 recede from its position. 1t wants some
better excuse for receding. and there is
none better than the one proposed.
The statement is made on the best author
ity that the Senate will leave off all refer
ence to Arizona or New Mexico in the rider
to be attached to the BILL
