Household.
AS GUEST OF HUNOR.
Grover Cleveland at Banquet of the
Union League Club.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Grover Cleve-
land was the guest of honor last night
at banquet at the Union league club
sharing the post-prandial honors with
Richard Watson Glider of New York
and Howard L. Smith. dean of the
University of Wisconsin law school.
In introducing Mr.. Cleveland Judge
Cutting. POSTMASTER, referred to the
question as to what the United States
should do with ex-presidents and de-
clared that the solution of the diff
Guilty stood before them.
1.-The only ex-president which the
United States possesses. said he, has
so absolutely, so creditab bly,, so hap
PLY disposed of himself that there is
nothing left for the country to do in
his behalf What more could man ask
than he has. He has Princeton, he
has a family of children which he
loves. and more than all he has Mrs.
Cleveland
When Mr.. Cleveland arose he was
greeted with applause which lasted
for several minues. "Our POSTMASTER"
said he, has referred to a delicate anC
tender subject-what shall be done
with our ex-presfdents? 1t has been
suggested that they be taken out in a
five acre lot and shot. 1t seems to me,
however, that an ex-president has al
ready suffered that which should give
him immunity from any such thing. 1
think the best place for an ex-presi-
dent is in the water. especially water
where there is plenty of fish.
II have always understood that an
after dinner speech must be in a kind
of merry and mplimentary mood.
Now I am an essentially sober man,
and 1 do not think I am altogether to
blame for this. 1 think the voters of
the United States are truly implicated
as accessories before the fact because
they put me in position where I con-
tracted solemnity a good deal as the
boy caught the measles, by sitting next
to it. 1 would not have all our peo-
pie sombre. But I would have them
thoughtful and I would have them
patriotic In the midst of all their
hopefulness I would nave them re-
member that more than all this there is
duty, stern duty. always present
that they owe to their country and this
duty is patriotism. When we believe
we are merely contributors to this
fund of patriotism and that this fund
Is a fund of love, a fund of brother
hood, a fund of fairness and a fund of
American opportunity then we have
the right idea of American citizenship.
"I would like the people of Chicago
to love their country as they love Their
city. No more can be asked of any
body who enjoys the blessings of free
American institutions"

GREENE MOVES ON
Blaine Franklin Succeeds Him
in Topeka.
Land Fraud Investigations
Placed in His Hands.
FRICTION is CAUSE.
Col. Greene Permanently As
signed to Boise, Idaho.
Change Probably Means Activ-
ity in Prosecutions.

Special Agent A R. Greene of the
interior d ~partment, has been perma-
nently removed from the district of
Kansas of which he was in charge and
his headquarters have been fixed at
Boise, Idaho.
Blaine Franklin, who was assistant
to Greene, has been promoted and as
sumed charge of all land fraud inVes-
Col. Greene from Kansas to Idaho is
largely attributed to friction which
was said to have existed between
Greene and the office of the United
States district attorney.
Though personally neither side had
any criticisms to offer to the public it
is well known that Greene, who is i'm
pulsive in his speech and action, had
given offense to H. j. Bone, United
States district attorney. In the con-
and the United States district attorney
were thrown together frequently.
Greene as special agent was supposed
to work up the cases and secure the
evidence which was turned over to the
district attorney in his further prose-
cution of the cases before the grand
jury and the court
In a number of instances it hap
pened that the prosecution did not
carry with it conviction based largely
on the inability to present all the evil
dence that should have been secured
to result in a verdict of guilty. This
nettled Greene and he said things
which later were repeated to Bone
tending to point criticism at the latter.
Secretary Hitchcock of the interior de-
partment, decided it was best to re-
move Greene from Kansas in order to
obviate further friction and the re-
moval followed as a consequence.
Blaine Franklin, the new special
agent, refused to discuss his appoint
ment further than to say that he had
been nominally in charge for some lit
tie time and that he was now in actual
charge.
Mr.. Franklin is a young man not
much past the thfrties and though
born in Illinois spent considerable of
his boyhood days in Kansas. His
father, J. H. Harrison Franklin, was
a prominent Republican in Kansas
twenty years ago. He served on the
board of regents of the State Normal
and lived successfully at Junction City
and Russell. Kansas He practfced
law and was for a time n local attorney
for the Santa Fe. While living in
Russell Franklin was appointed dep

partment He held this office from
1889 to 1898, later returning after the
completion of his term of .soffice to

Spring and summer are sure to bring

promptly rescues the children from the
throes and grasp of catarrhal dis
eases.
We have in our files many testimon-
ials from mothers whose children have
been cured by Peruna. However, the
Peruna, we never hear from.
But we do hear from a great num-

at some special good they have re-

restrain their enthusiasm. They are
anxious to share these benefits with
other mothers. ~.

WANTS OFFICE GIRLS.
Oscar Hammerstein, Theater Director,
Believes Lads Are Too Slow.

New York Feb. 23.-Oscar Ham
merstein, director of the Manhattan
opera house, says that office boys are
useless in the rush of business of an

Forty bright looking girls were in
line at the Manhattan opera house long
before the offices opened. Mr.. Ham,

and after many questions selected one

Pe-ru-na Should Be Kept n
Every Household
Where There Are Little
Children

Peruna should be kept in the house
all the time. Don't wait until the child
is sick, then send to a drug store. But,
have Peruna on hand-acceot no sub
stitute.
Children are especially liable to
acute catarrh. Indeed, most of the af-
fections of childhood are catarrh.
All forms of sore throat, quinsy
Group. hoarseness. laryngitis, etc, are
but different phases of catarrh.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotic of any
kind. Peruna, if taken according to
printed directions, is perfectly harm
less. 1t can be used any length of time
without acquiring a drug habit. 1t does
not produce temporary results, but it
is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh.

No Doctor Required.

Mr.. Edward Otto. 927 De Soto street.
ST. Paul. Mimi. writes:
IT cannot say enough for Peruna.
It has done great work in my family.
especially for my oldest boy. We had
doctored with three or four different
doctors and they did not seem to do
him any good.
I'VE gave up hopes of cure, and SO
did they. but we pulled him through
on Peruna.
1--WE had several doctors and they
said they could do no more for him, SO
we tried Peruna as a last resort, and
that did the work. Since then we
keep ii in the house all the time, and
no doctor is required. '-Edward Otto.
There are a multitude of homes
where Peruna has been used off and on
for twenty years.
Such a thing could not be possible If
Peruna contained any narcotics.

Lacon, Illinois, where he is still prac-
tfcing law. Blaine Franklin was grad
uated from the law department of
George Washington university at
Washington, D. c., and entered the
census department first and later the
land department. He has been in the
government employ now for seven
years, five years in the latter depart
ment- Conditions in western Kansas
as regards the utilization of govern
ment land by private corporations are
said to be bad.
New Investigations are about to be
started on foot in connection with al
legged fraudulent seizures of public
lands by individuals in western Kan
sas. In the fall of 1905 the first in
formation that the interior departm ent
had charges pending was made public,
several indictments were returned by
the grand jury and though the ma
jority of the cases of Illegally fencing
were dismissed upon the removal of
the fences, cases involving charges of
conspiracy to defraud, for perjury and
and for using mails to defraud are still
pending in the United States district
court
From intimations that have been
had it is very probable that the sum
moning of a grand jury will be had
again to investigate still other charges
that have been worked up in the in
terval, since the elapse of 1905.

the state though there is sufficient
work here for four inspectors. Under
the order which was promulgated in
Kansas two years ago and lately made
to apply generally all over the United
States all combinations are held up
pending investigation in each case by
special agents. In Kansas there have
accumulated $50 of such cases await
ing investigation.
All of these cases almost without ex-
ception are in the Colby and Dodge
CITY land office districts and apply to
the land in the western part of the
state. there are only few cases in the
district which comes under the juris-
diction of the Topeka land office. Each
one of these cases takes considerable
time to investigate and report upon.
The special agents of the interior
department are 'hampered by an In
SUFFICIENT appropriation. Though there
is more than enough work for all of
the agents, the year seldom passes
when several of them are not given a
furlough of several months without
paw This comes when the funds of
