writes:
"After doctoring for year and find
ing no relief from leucorrhea resulting
from prolapsus uteri, and which was
sapping my life forces away, finally
tried Peruna, and when found that it
was helping me every day, it seemed
almost too good to be true.
"But, it not only helped me, 1t cured
me and In q very short time.
81 am now enjoying the best of health.
"I am strong and free from pain, and
I certainly feel that all praise and honor
are due to Peruna."

MUNICH ALUNACY.
By JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.

The municipality owned electric light
plant of Charlottesville, Ind, having
shown a so called profit last year of
f6,727, the trustees have just made
10 per cent advance in the charge for
street lighting. The probable reason
for this is q desire on the trustees
part to increase this years profits to
an even $4,000, round figures being SO
much more satisfactory than angular
ones.
One of the pleasing features Of mu-
nicipal ownership, as shown in New
Zealand and Australia, is the luscious,
juicy fairness 1t gives to the public
debt. That of the United-sometimes
called the Benighted-States is less
than So per capita, but in New Zea-
land it Is 1886, in New South Wales
S267, and in Australians six states it
averages 1901 per capita. 1t takes
Genuine prosperity to increase a ma
tons creditor debit-all the way
from 1900 to $500 per cent.
y
In the bright lexicon of municipal
ownership there is no such word as
deterioration. All city owned plants
are regarded as hardy perennials which
wax stronger with the passage of the
years-a beautiful floral dream If only
waking were impossible!

 said that political conditions in this

 a wealth of material at hand, glaring failures in nearly every State and vol umes of reports by experts opposing it. and 1t is already apparent, judging by the conclusions of leading men from the South, that any effort to establish mu- nicipal ownership generally throughout the South wuld be vigorously and sue cessfully opposed by citizens who have the interest of their city at heart.

washingtn, D. C., Jan. 1-(Special correspondence)-The question of who may be the next Presidential nominees of the big parties Is one of the main topics among the politicians ana states men now gathered here, and there are particularly interesting discussions among the Democrats for the west who favor Bryan, end those from the East. who are, for Hearst.
 There are many who oppose Bryan s government ownership of railroads ideas, and there is. among the South erners particularly. most oecloen oouosition to the municipal ownership plank on which Hearst relied SO great iy in his New York State campaign.
 On this latter subject the politicians find much to say because It is condi- lion which has been and Is being trieo in a number of, cities throughout the country, and which has been proven to be a general failure. It is quite the topic st the political clubs and the op- ponents for 1t are so far in the ma jority that 1t is quite evident that no municipal ownership plank would be popular in the South.
 It is being told how the city of Alex andria, near here, after many years ex- perience with an electric lighting plant, has turned 1t over to a private cor poration: how Easton, Pa, citizens. af- ter eighteen years of failure, are now clarnaring for privare service. the mu- nicipal electric lighting plant giving poor results and costing $5,000 more wear than a private service; how Seat tie, Wash, after an exciting campaign, has decided that city ownership of its street railway system would be too costly to be practical.
 Members of the Japanese Legation have contributed to the argument by telling how their progressive city of rckio has decided, after a thorough investigation of municipal ownership in Europe, and in this country, that the oroposition for owning and operating Its own street car system is unwise as A would cost far more than the same ssrvies that could, be. given by a pri- Rate company.
