WILL SUCCEED MRS. EDDY.
Mrs. Augusta stetson of New York
Has Been Selected.

Concord, N. H., Oct. 23.-Mrs. Au-
gusta E. Stetson, first reader of the
Christian Science church in New York.
has been selected as understudy OF
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder
of and high priestess of the cult.
This fact leaked out here and in
cidentaily explains the presence during
the last six weeks Of the countess Of
Dunmore, the most prominent of lead
ers of the church in England, and of
other Christian Scientists who have
the confidence of the aged reader at
her home in Pleasant View. At the
conferences held here a policy of abb
solute secrecy was decided on. There
fore, when inquiry is made at the mag
nificent home of Mrs. Eddy, or other
places, no information is vouchsafed.

and how much time and toll are still

Mrs. Eddy will publish within three

will deal at great length with the op-

followers just what to do in hostile

EARLYS95,OOO,
OUTPUT OF GOLD In The
UNITED STATES.
Geo. E. Roberts, Ex-Director of Mint,
Has Completed Compilation of Sta
tistics on Production of Gold and Sill
ver-eold Gains on silver-Arizona,
Silver King State; Colorado for Gold.

George e. Roberts, who retired from
the position of director of the mint on
August 1, 1907, has completed compila-
ton of the statistics on production of
gold and silver in the various states
and territories of the United States for
the calendar year 1906. Mr.. Roberts
estimates the production of gold in the
United States during the calendar year
1906 to have been 1914, 800, as
against $SS,190,700 for the calendar
year 1905, a net gain in 1906 of $685.
ITO. The principal gain was in Alaska,
which amounted to $6,439, 500. Ne
vada's gain in gold was SO, 800, Ore
CONS $4,000, Tennessee $22, 300, Ari-
IONA, $55, 800 and Virginia $500. The
greatest loss of gold in any state was
in Colorado, where there was de-
crease of $2,766,7O0. The next largest
loss shows Montana, with a loss of
$367300. California lost $364,200
Washington $4,000, Idaho 100000
and Wyoming $4,000 The total num-
Der of fine ounces of gold produced
was 1855, $3.50.
The total production of silver in the
United States during the calendar year
1906 was given as 56,5179O0 fine
ounces of the commercial value of $685.
256,400, as against 5e,101, 900 fine
ounces of the commercial value of 1884,
221 ,976' in 1905. The net gain in the
production of silver during the calen-
dar year 1906 in Arizona was 1863, 500
ounces, California, $500, Idaho no.
600 and Utah 1,1SS,200. The loss in
the production of silver during the
year in Montana was 914,400 ounces
and in Colorado 5,4O0 ounces.
The average price of silver for the
calendar year 1905 was $0.617 an
ounce, as against $0.675S1 for the cal
endar year 1906.
The approximate distribution made
by Mr.. Roberts of the production of
the states and territories of gold and
silver for 1906 is as follows:

Hamburg, Oct 22.-The giant
steamer that English ship builders are

can line will be named the Europa.
She will be of $4,000 tons, as against
the $4,000 Of the Lustitania.
incidentally, it is stated that the
Europa probably will be the last Ger

land, as the new Vulcan yards, which
are to take this work, will be COM
pleted before the construction of the

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruna a graz,
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as >
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right,
Is it more proper to call Peruna a %.
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonicS
Our reply is, that Peruna is both .
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed
there can be no effectual catarrh rem.
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve ANN
case of catarrh, remedy must pot
only have a specific action on the mn.
cous membranes affected by the ca.
tarrh, but it must have general tomb
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who ara
otherwise strong, is a weakened con.
dition of some mucous membrane

arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIg
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff.
cacy of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio of medical agents is formed in Pc.
runa which constitutes a specific rem.

forced by such renowned tones as
C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS. COR.
YDALIS F0RMOSA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there.
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms a well-grounded the
ory the result is truth that cannot be
shaken.

STAYS IN CROWDED sTREETcAR
Conductor Shoots, and Bullets Find
BiIlets.

San Francisco, Oct 20.-As a re-
suit of trouble over a transfer slip
on a Polk street car of the United
Railroads system Saturday evening,
one man was shot and killed, another
so seriously wounded that death will
probably ensue, and two other men
less severely injured. The slain man
was Charles Moss, aged "a years, a
hodcarrier by occupation. Otto P.
Enerwein was shot through the neck
and left eye and will probably die
John Monger, hodcarrier, was shot
through the left hand.
Bernard Goldstein was shot through
the right leg; Joseph Steffens will
probably lose the sight of his left eye
which was filled with shattered glass
The conductor of the car, e. H
Brown, and the motorman, e. A. Pur-
cell, are at the city prison and will
be charged with murder. The con-
ductor did the shooting.
During the quarrel over the trans
fer slip, some one threw off the trolley
pole and the car came to a standstill.
The stoppage of the car, coupled with
a noise in the rear, led Motorman Pur-
cell to believe that his mate was in
danger and, revolver in hand he
pushed his way through the crowded
passengers. Women and children
were thrown into a panic and a mad
rush was made to escape. Women
trampled upon children, and windows
were broken by the affrighted passen-
gers, whose hysteria and fears were
increased when the shooting began.

TO HASTEN LAND FRAUD CASES
Northwest Trials Lag Too Long for
Patience.

1t is known that the general land
office has many cases involving Illegal
entries in the Pacific northwest, which
have been recommended to the depart
ment of justice for action, over which
some officials think there has been
undue delay in getting the cases into
court for trial. In some instances in
dictments were returned more than
three years ago and the defendants
have never yet faced jury. 1t is be-
lieved mild protest has been regis
tered with the department of justice
against the delay in trying cases so
long pending. Indictments have been
pouring in in many states and the
dockets are rapidly filing The inten-
ton has been announced to prosecute
Idaho cases vigorously, yet in Ore
gon there are cases which have been
pending since 1903. Conferences have
been held here during the past week,
indicating that efforts are being put
forth to get these and other cases to
trial, so intense activity may be looked
for in many states by the special and
regular attorneys for the government.
