DEMOCRATS UNITE
AND SCORE BEAT
On ALDR|CH
Senate Regulars Forced to AC
cept Long and Short Haul
CLAUSE IN RAILROAD BILL
Had Previously Boosted That They
Had the Votes to Defeat the
Amendment.

Washington, May 14.-After scenes
Of extraordinary confusion and to the
complete surprise OF the leaders Of
all three factions in the Senate the
long and short haul clause-the de-
feat of which the regular Republicans
had confidently announced was en-
grated into the Railroad bill at the
close of session today that lasted
over six hours.
The insurgent victory came about
from an unexpected and complete al
lance of insurgent Republicans and
Democrats by merging the proposed
insurgent and Democratic amend
ments. The victory was sweeping as
far as it went; although when II APP
peared at the last moment that the
cards were stacked against him. Mr..
Aldrich followed his unvarying GUS
tom and led the regulars TO vote for
what they could not defeat. He also
managed by accepting the merged
amendment, to stave off the adoption
of the Oyerman amendment a
stralght-out Democratic proposal for
rates based on mileage that was
still more offensive from regular
point Of view.
After it was all over Nj Aldrich
and some of his followers attempted
to, assert that they had won victory
in defeating the Democratic scheme
and that the amendment voted into
the pending bill was nothing but a
re-enactment of existing law. In pri-
vate conversation later, however, the
regulars admitted that for once the
organization had been caught mapping
and that the successful alliance of
the two other factions, whereby all
Democratic votes except FIVE were
brought to aid the insurgent attack
on the regular intrenchments, took
them completely by surprise and
left them time to do little but make
a rather poor attempt to save their
faces

U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
OF Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim it to be an efec-
tiysremedy for chronic ca.arrh2 Have
we abundant proof that Peruna is in
reality such a catarrh remedy? Let
US see what the United States Dispen-
Satory says of the principal ingred-
tents Of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal
The United States Dispensatory says
ofthis herbal remedy, that it is large
ly employed in the treatment Of de-
praved mucous membranes, chronic
ihinitis nasal catarrh) J, atomic dyspep-
sia (catarrh of the stomach), chronic
Intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice
tcatarrh of the liver, and in diseased
mucous membranes Of the pelvic
organs. 1t is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of dis
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis fcrmosa, is classed in the United
Safes Disrensatory as tonic. Is used
rs 2 treatment for chronic constitu-
GiOnal diseases and scrofula.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says Of the action
Of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as q
substitute for quinine.
These are not all Of the medicinal
ingredients Peruna contains. Suffice
il to say that it is a compound Of
herbal remedies, each one of which
has, from time to time, been recon-
mended by physicians Of all schools,
for different catarrhal conditions.
If you want to know what the peo-
Pile say send to us for a free book Of
testimonials of what the people think
Of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. After
all has been said, the best evidence for
or against any remedy is the testi-
ncny of those who have tried it.

HIReARD HAS TUBERCULOSIS
The Former Mayor Himself Makes
the Announcement.

Boston, May l4.-Closely following
the rejection OF the appointment OF
former Mayor Hubbard as city collec-
tor by the civil service commission
came the announcement by Mr. Hib-
bard himself that he is suffering from
tuberculosis The latter information
led Mayor Fitzgerald to express his
most bitter criticism Of the commits
sion, to the effect that the members
have dealt the former mayor his
death blow. A favorable consider
alton OF Is name would have saved
his life" sad the mayor. But no,
they did not give him the least pos
sible cha-cc. l. IS cruel, cru-l-inhu-
man."
Mr.. Hubbard in his announcement
of his condition, appeals for "a little
respect" for he says that he Is out OF
public life and his physicians have
discovered that he had tuberculosis
in his right lung. He says he stands
convicted before the civil service
commission of charge, he knows
not what.

COSTA RIGA is STRICKEN
Terrible Conditions Exist In Quake
Belfast Coast Trembles.

Port Limon, Costa Rica, May a.
Earthquake shocks continue through
out Costa Rica and thousands are fee
ing in terror from San Jose. The
east coast is beginning to tremble I'M
der the repeated shocks. The volca-
noes OF Poas and lrazu are In erup-
ton and this adds terror to situa-
ton already the most desperate in
the history of Central America.
II Is impossible now to see the
mountains that, from here, gave San
Jose bold relief. Volcanic dust has
settled over the country almost from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Death is rife in the refugee camps
at San Jose and Carriage. Pestilence
and disease have killed In the last
four days almost as many persons as
persisted in the earthquake. The eff
forts of the authorities to check the
spread OF disease are almost futile.
New camps must be established be.
fore the maladies. mostly fever. can
be checked.
The terror OF the inhabitants is Inn
possible to describe. Martial law has
been proclaimed throughout the earth
quake belt. as robbery has begun In
the refugees camps. One old couple
who escaped from their crumbling
home at Carriage took $1,000 with
them. They we're robbed while In
camp. All hooters have been ordered
shot.
