Mr.. William F. Vahlberg, Oklahoma
City, Okla, writes
Zone bottle of Peruna which l have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of catarrh of the
stomsoh, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
81 had given up hopes of relief, and
only tried Peruna as last resort.
81 shall continue using it, as | feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and per-
manent cure.
II most cheerfully recommend Peru
ma to all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as a last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been
used. Sanitariums have been visited
Travel has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is
found.
This history is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year. It
is such results as this that gives Peru
ma its unassailable hold upon the peo-
pie. We could say nothing that would
add force to such testimonials as the
above. That people who have had ca
tarrh and have tried every other rem
edy available, find relief in Peruna,
constitutes the best argument that
could be made.

southwestern part of the state and
travelled northward following the sec
ond tier of counties from the western

OPENS FINE SUBWAY.
Boston Tunnel Cost $4,000, 900 and
Takes Cars off Surface.

Takes Cars off Surface.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 23.-What is
claimed to the the most complete and
perfect tunnel for passenger traffic to
be found anywhere in the world has
just been completed in this city, and
will be opened for use during the week
1t is known as the Washington street
tunnel and is designed to relieve the
congestion of the narrow and crooked
streets of Boston's business section.
The tunnel will be used to carry the
trains of the Boston Elevated railway
company through the downtown sec
tion of the city. The old tunnel, known
as the fremont street subway, which
was the first to be built in America,
will be employed exclusively for the
socalled surface car traffic. With both
tunnels in use the downtown streets
will be practically relieved of all street
cars.
The new tunnel is 5,676 feet long.
1t is fireproof throughout. All the
steel construction is protected by con-
and ticket booths and escalator balus-
trades are escased in sheet bronze.
The telephone offices and package rooms
and electricians rooms have tiled walls
of masonry. The signs are of metal
and the seats and benches of cemenS.
There is not bit of wood throughout
the completely fireproof structure.
The tunnel was begun and finished
with no disturbance to the traffic over.
head.
To insure against the cutting off Of
the current at any time and thereby
plunging the stations into darkness,
three different sources of supply are
arranged for, each Independent of tn,
other, and all so arranged that should
the current be shut off from one source
it is instantly supplied from another
source automatically by an arrange
ment of the main switches.
| The tunnel was built by the Bostol
Transit commission and leased to tn
Boston Elevated Railway company TO
25 years from the beginning of its use
1t is built through that section of Bos
ton which contains the highest price
land, with due regard for the best feas
ible grade and alignment with respec
to the narrowness and crookedness o
the streets. Its cost, together wit
the cost of its approaches and equip
ment, is estimated at over $40, 900, 00C

KASPARILLA

Ills sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for world of
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

Tunnel Under Penitentiarx.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 24.-Fol-
lowing the discovery of an attempted
Jail break which would have released
hundreds of convicts in the Missouri
penitentiary, rigid investigation of
the prison management was begun to-
day. The Jail delivery is believed to
have been engineered by life sentence
convicts. The plot had been carefully
worked out and was discovered in the
nick of time. A long tunnel was
found, leading underneath the prison
yard to the wall. When discovered the
hole had been bored nearly through.

that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
SIENNA is the only remedy of known

it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,

having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and

WHITE MAN UNSAFE.
Ex-Naval Official Makes a Startling
Statement on Japan.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 23.-"There is
no law for the white man in Japan.
The treaty made between Japan and
Great Britain counts for practically
nothing since the time of the school
trouble in San Francisco"
This strong and amazing statement
was made by an ex-officer of the Brit
ish royal navy, who has been employed
for some years as civil engineer by
the Japanese government and who has
just passed through this city on his
way home to England.
The information which this gentle
man has to give with regard to the in
dignities and inconvenience that he
says are heaped upon white men in the
mikado's kingdom should prove sur
prise to those who have been accus-
toned of late years, at least, to regard
the Japanese people as being possessed
of most friendly feelings toward the
people of Great Britain. According
to the information he is able to fur
nish at first hand, no white man is at
all safe in the ownership of any prop
erty in Japan unless he becomes a nat
uralized citizen of that country.

BIG PLANT RESUMES.
Huge Steel Works in Chicago to Re-
Open in Full Blast.

Open IN full Blast.
Chicago, Nov. 23.-All is joy in
South Chicago. The army of workers
in the big mills of the Illinois Steel
company is to have a real Christmas
this year.
The exuberant and unrestrained glee
and thankfulness were caused by an
announcement today by officials of the
company, which employees large ma
iority of the inhabitants of the town,
that the shops would be running in full
blast by December /. By that time it
is expected IL, 900 men will be work
ing in many departments of the i'm
mense plant.
About half of the workers in the
mills have been unemployed for more
than year, since many of the depart
ments shut down on account of scarcity
of orders for steel rails and other pro-
ducts of the company. Many of the
others employed since a partial reopen
ing last summer have been working on
short schedule.
The unemployment of thousands of
men means much also to the merchants
of the suburb.

Cattle Starve in Cars.

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-The South
ern Pacific company was Saturday con-
victed in the United States Circuit
court on 10 charges of violating the
law providing for the care and feeding
of cattle during shipment. Of the
original % instances of neglect alleg-
ed, two were withdrawn, and the rail-
way was held to be not wholly respon-
sible for 10 others because of floods.
The convictions on the remaining 10
counts will subject the company to a
fine of from 500 to $500 for each
offense.

JAPAN PREPARED.
Mikado Evidently Resolved to Over
look Nothing in China.


London, Nov. 24.-Japan is watch
ing closely the development of affairs
in China and is preparing for whatever
emergency the crisis may bring, &C
cording to advices received today by
the British foreign Office.
Despite Japanese denials of inter-
ference in Chinese affairs, there is
every indication that the mikado is
keenly alive to the possibilities of the
Oriental situation and will not be
found unprepared in any event.
Chinese messages, reaching London
by way of Japan, say that Prince Chun
is splitting up the Chinese army and
appointing division commanders with
separate authority, as he fears to trust
to a consolidation of power under any
one general.
This is taken to mean that serious
disffection exists in the ranks of the
army and gives color to the report that
revolution is threatened.
