The rat is such, a nuisance that in

causes damage to the extent of $780,

A DISPUTE ENDED
QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP OF
PORTO RlCAN LANDS Salts
FACTORlLY SETTLED.
CHURCH CLAIMS TO Be PAID
The Settlement Was Negotiated by
Assistant Secretary of State
Bacon-Congress Must
Approve.

San Juan, p. r., Aug. 15-After
having satisfactorily settled the ques-
lions in dispute between the federal
government and the Catholic church
in Porto Rico, arising out of the con-
troll of estates formerly owned by the
Dominican and Franciscan orders, AS
sistant Secretary of State Robert
Bacon sailed for New York Wednes-
day on the steamer San Juan.
Under the agreement reached the
federal government will obtain, sub
ject to the approval of congress, con-
troll of the Santo Domingo convent
building and it's lands and the land &C.
cupied by the infantry barracks, pay
ing therefor $4,000. The insular
government will receive, if the agree
ment is sanctioned by the insular leg
islature, the market place, the San
Francisco barracks, and the insane
asylum and the land surrounding it,
paying $1S0,000 for them In three in
stallments. The church, in addition
to the money considerations, will OBJ

This disposes of the last of the
church claims The question has
caused protracted litigation and dis
cussion in six legislatures. The in
sular courts have decided some points
in favor of both parties and appeals
were taken to the United States SUI
preme court. Those appeals now will
be withdrawn.
The church land question in Porto
Rico involved the right of the Roman
Catholic church to control various
property valued at about 100000
formerly owned by the Dominican and
franciscan orders. The estates were
alienated by the action Of the Spanish
government in 1888, but the Catholic
church alleged that the act was not
properly carried into effect and sought
to have them restored alleging that
the church was especially dependent
since the United States came into au-
thority in the island and separated
the church from the state.

AN IDAHO TOWN WIPED OUT
FOREST FIRES CAUSE DESTRUC-

A Gale Blowing and Sand Point, With
10000 Population, Seriously
Threatened.

Sand Point, Ida, Aug. 13.-With the
wind blowing a gale and the adjacent
town of Kootenai wiped out, it seems
that no power can save Sand Point.
At six o'clock Tuesday evening a
small forest fire north of Kootenai
was blown into the town and the
town of 800 inhabitants was burned
to the ground. The Humbird Lum-
Der company had 100000 mill at
Kootenai which burned to the ground
and was only partly insured. At pres
ent the fire is within 1000 feet of
the Handle smelter, which seems
domed y The homeless people of the
little hamlet of Kootenai have been
brought here and are being cared for
by citizens. All of them lost their be-
longings. Over 500 volunteers are
fighting the approaching flames. Sand
Point has a population of about 49,
900. An appeal has just been sent
to the Spokane fire department for
aid

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients of Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh reme-
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tomb remedies.
That in one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years.
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed of
some of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase Of catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis,
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they havabS
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tolS oNci anu o'SA az" iAi, s'hu oSNA SS
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy SO uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

THE PRESIDENT is INVITED
MR.. ROOSEVELT ASKED TO ST.
JOE MILITARY TOURNAMENT.
Would Like to Attend But viii Prob
ably Be Unable to Do So
Pleased With Plans.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 15.-An in
vitation to President Roosevelt to
visit the United States military tour
nament at st. Joseph, Mo, Septem-
Der 81 to 25, was given Saturday by
John Donovan, on behalf of the Mill
tary Tournament association Of st.
Joseph, and on behalf of the people
of the city of st. Joseph. Mr. Dono-
van is president of the association.
The president expressed a desire to
attend, but said he could make no
promise because he probably would
be unable to make the trip on account
of other business.
Mr.. Donovan told the president of
the plans his association has made for
the military show to take place at st.
Joseph next month. He has been in
Washington comforting with officials
of the war department who think the
tournament will be of great value to
the army. 1t is to be exclusively one
of United States troops and no mill
tiamen will take part. The soldiers
will come from the department of
Missouri, and will represent every
branch of the service, even the bal
loon corps. The aeronautic exhibit,
it is expected, will be one of the most
interesting features of the show.
The association has provided $4,000
In cash to be distributed in prizes
for the best feats performed by the
soldiers. The money will be appor-
toned as prizes by board of United
States army officers appointed for that
purpose.
President Roosevelt became very
when Mr.. Donovan told
him about the plans and assured his
visitor that there was no question. of
the value of the show to the army
and he believed in encouraging ath-
letics among the soldiers.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcdtable standing Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

I'VE went over the situation in

that a vigorous campaign must be
made. Particular attention was given
