In spite of elush. sleet, rain or sudden changes of temperature. If, however, you are already the victim of a cough, loose or tight, catarrh, acute or chronic, the remedy that relieves read ily, cures quickly and restores perma nently is Peruna. A few doses of Peruna at the beginning of a cold will change the entire course of events. It operates directly on all the mucous membranes, so that no matter where the cold may have settled It Is bound to be reached by this searching remedy. Peruna absolutely prevents ca tarrh from fastening itself upon any part of the organism. Miss Lydla Herzlger, Grand Recorder of American Daughters of Independence, writes from Neenah, Wis., as follows: "I have used Peruna now for four years, each Spring and Fall, and it keeps me perfectly well and strong. I am able to continue working, and do not have to take a three months' rest, as I used to do every year. This is a great comfort to me, as I was not able to take such a long rest. I find that it Is a preventive for colds and coughs, and soon rids the sys tern of all disease and is an admirable medicine." Lydla Herzlger. lira Frances Wilson, 32 Nelson street, Clinton, Mass., writes: "Had you seen me at the time of my illness and now, you would not wonder that I take delight in sounding the praises of Peruna. My aliment was a severe cold which attacked the bronchial tubes, and after using six bottles of Peruna I was on my feet again. I think Peruna a wonder ful medicine." Miss Edna Wilson. 1445 Temple street, Los Angeles, Cal., Worthy Vice Templar, J. O. G. T.. writes: "Peruna cured mo of catarrh of the "bronchial tubes which had been most an noying for many months.

MII14 TURNS TO MILES Hill Desires That He Be Mate of Parker.- MOVE TO SATISFY THE WEST Might Be Lukewarm, Since Judge Is Close to Capital-Ex-Senator Is Be lleved to Have Received Assur ances From General. AL.BANT, N. T.. May 14. (Special.) The report is current among the big politi cians here tonight that Senator D. B. Hill has opened communication with Gen eral Nelson A. Miles, with a view to the latter accepting second place on the Na tional Democratic ticket with Judge Parker. It is said Judge Parker is pop ular in the East and South, but that he Is not well known in the West, and there might be some lukewarmness because of his supposed close connection with the moneyed interests of the East The ylan is to counteract this by nominating General Miles as his running-mate. It Is argued that the splendid military record of Miles appeals strongly to the West and South, where the people are anxious to avenge what they call a slight inflicted upon a gallant soldier by President Roosevelt. So far as could be learned tonight. ex-Senator Hill has not received an an swer from General Miles, but it is said assurances were practically given that he would consider the proposition favor ably. HEARST EXPLAINS HIS POSITION All He Wants Is Democrats Who Have Been Such for 20 Years. WASHINGTON. May It William R. Hearst will support the nominee of the St. Iouls Democratic Convention, who ever he may be. He today authorized the Wasliington Post to make this state ment unequivocally. He ridiculed a story sent from Albany that he and Mr. Bryan. Arthur Brisbane, Weaver, of Iowa, and others were planning a huge bolt and the formation of a new party. He said ho hRd been making his fight for the nomination in the name of progres sive Democracy, but his fight had been within party lines and would continue to be so. Whatever the result, he in tended personally and through his news papers to support the regular ticket. "I am for the St. Louis nominee," said Mr. Hearst to the Post. Having uttered that plain spoken sentence, he added, with a smile: "I should, of course, like any other man. bo honored and gratified should the Democrats see fit to nominate me. I have supported the Democratic ticket in gh iat flYQ campaigns. I supported IlmiitQtWI 1ml f V Mrs. C. Morrison, 1030 S. New Jersey St, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "Some months ago I contracted a severe cold returning from the theater. This cold settled In my head and developed into catarrh of the head and nose, and I know of nothing more obnoxious. Every morning when I arose my head was all stopped up, throat dry and parched, and I would have to spray for half an hour before I could clear the head. I noticed that Peruna was advertised as a certain cure for catarrh, so I tried what it would do for me, and found after four weeks' use that It had cleared my head and throat, leaving no trace of catarrh. I therefore wish to add my testimony to the many you have as to the efficacy of Peruna." Mrs. C. Morrison. Spring is the best time to treat catarrh. Nature renews herself every Spring. The system is rejuvenated by Spring weatherl This renders medicine more effective. A short course of Peruna, assisted by the balmy air of Spring, will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh that have resisted treatment for years. Everybody should have a copy of Dr. Hartman's latest book on catarrh. With healthy mucous membranes climatic diseases lose their terror, the sys tem is enabled to throw off contagion and health Inevitably follows. Cleveland three times and Bryan twice. I Intend to support the nominee of the party at St Louis, whoever he may be. "I have not been able to deny all the foolish things that have been said about me. I have not even kept up with all that has been said. But all the fool things, that Is 'foolier than all the rest" and Mr. Hearst Indulged In a hearty laugh at the new adjective he had coined. "I have been making my fight for the nomination in the name of' progressive Democracy," he said. "I have been mak ing my fight on party lines." An inquiry was made about the sig nificance of the several contesting Hearst delegations over the country. "Every State Convention of both parties has contesting delegates," said Mr. Hearst "Contests do not mean that bolting will follow. Some of my friends have instituted contests for delegates. In certain cases contests have been Instituted by my friends. In entire sincerity on their part which I would not have sanc tioned had the matter come to my knowl edge In time. But these contests can be settled in the usual way, as they are settled In every National Convention. Please make it plain that I stand for the verdict of loyal Democrats, men who have been loj'al to the party and have not been Democrats at pleasure. I am for men who have been Democrats con sistently for 20 years." Will Not Have to Give Up Ballots. DENVER, May It The State Supreme Court today set aside and vacated the writ of mandamus issued By District Judge Mulllns, which ordered the election commission to deliver today to the elec tion Judges representing the Democratic and anti-Wolcott Republican parties, the ballots and other supplies for the election In this city next Tuesday.

PARIS, May 14. French confidence in Russian prowess Is much shaken as a re sult of the recent developments concern ing the weakness of General Kuropat kln's land forces. The early Japanese successes were accepted as merely pre liminary, it being believed by the offi cials and publishers generally that Kuro patkin was concentrating a vast force, approximately 400.000 men, which, event ually, would annihilate the smaller -Japanese army. The military experts of the Figaro and other leading Journals, have sought to demonstrate that Kuropatkln's success was a mathematical certainty on the grounds that his force was four times greater than that of the Japanese. But the reports of the last ten days have shown a constant shrinkage of Kuropat kln's army, until now it Is generally ac cepted in official circles that he has not over 200,000 men, including those locked up at Port Arthur and In other -garrisons. The announcement that the Russian Commander has put off taking the of fensive until July In order to secure re inforcements adds to the belief that his strength has heretofore been greatly overestimated. However, the officials and the public generally continue to believe that Kuropatkin is working a strategic plan, attracting the Japanese far Inland, where ultimately he will overwhelm them. Veterans Discuss Campaign. The feeling of confidence, however. Is steadily diminishing. General Brugere. head of the French army, called recently on General Porter, the United States Am bassador, and the two veterans went over the Manchurian campaign from the stand point of French and American military. They agreed that much would depend upon the topography of the country be tween Mukden and Harbin, owing to the part artillery will play In commanding the passage of rocky defiles. During the discussion, it was suggested that a Rus sian campaign somewhat similar to Gen eral Lee's campaign In Virginia prob ably would be the most effective means of stopping the Japanese advance. Official advices received here today say there is an enormous congestion of mili tary forces near Irkutsk, Siberia, owing to the inability of the troops to cross Lake Baikal, the floating ice still prevent ing passage of the boats, and a detour round the foot of the lake requiring seven days. Therefore, a , large force Is held back until It is possible to cross the lake. Jit la the main belief here that these troops Miss Rush Suffered With Systemic Catarrh Was Nervous, Had No Appetite, Grew Thin and Emaciated. She Now Looks Like a New Woman After a Course of Pe-ru-na. Miss Bertha M. Rush, 5135 Kincarde street, Pittsburg, Pa., Superintendent Jun ior Society of Methodist Protestant Church, and leading soprano of the choir, writes: "Words cannot describe my thankfulness to your for Peruna. I was a sufferer from systemic catarrh for years and was In a very much run-down condi tion. I was extremely nervous and had the most foolish fears over nothing. I was thin and emaciated. "My physician advised me to leave this may sufficiently augment General Kuro patkln's strength to permit him to take the offensive. HAE3) EIGHT WITH DESPERADO Officer Beats Him Badly, but Not Until He Has Shot Sergeant. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., May It Police Ser geant Gibson was fatally shot by Sol Temple, the Oklahoma desperado, on the street tonight Temple was captured after a hard fight with Patrolman Grable, who beat the desperado almost to death with his own gun.

An engagement of 2,500,000 of gold at the Assay Office for shipment to Paris, on Tuesday's steamer, was announced today, but the name of the shipper was withheld.

Hyde, bound over for land frauds, to the amount of $50,000. William R. Sherwood, William P. Wheeler and F. Rels, Jr., fur nished bonds for Henry P. Dimond to the amount of $20,000. Large Chicago Firm Sells Out. CHICAGO, May It Harry G. Selfridgo. general manager of the Marshall Field Company, retail, has bought the business of Schleslnger & Mayer. Mr. Selfridge will conduct his new enterprise under the firm name of H. G. Selfridge & Co. The price paid was 3,000,000, climate, but as it was not convenient to do so at thl3 time, I took the advice of a friend to use a bottle of Peruna. I took it faithfully and when " the first bottle was gone I felt so much better that I bought six more and took them faithfully, after which I looked like a new woman. "I gained in flesh, my appetite returned and all my old symptoms had disappeared. I am more than thankful to Peruna." Miss .Bertha M. Rush. MOVE FOR PROGRESS MADE (Continued from First Pagre.) man he criticises takes it good-naturedly and rather enjoys It He had prepared a speech, but he could not hold himself down to a dry text when he got warmed up, and broke away from it altogether. He told of the work of the Progressive Union for New Orleans and how he pro posed to apply the same methods to Port land. Said he: The first duty of an organization like this la to bury local pessimism. "When the people of a community are of a fault-finding disposition or find too many convenient "lfs," they put a bar against the progress of their home city, which In many cases dims the ardor, enthu siasm and patriotism of the more progressive citizens. If the 700 members of the Portland Commer cial Club can be Increased to 1000, and during tomorrow or within the next day or two each member of this club writes one or more letters to friends in the East or, better still, to the old home newspaper, giving interesting points relative to Portland and Oregon, you have be gun a work that will eoon result in making this city and state more talked about than any other section of the United States let's rub out the "If" and do the work. His Method In Operation. Then he referred to 10,000 copies of the Lewis and Clark Exposition booklet "Ore gon." prepared by Henry E. Reed, which had been sent to the club, and called at tention to blanks which he had eent to the members to be filled In with the names and addresses of persons to whom they wished matter relating to Portland and Oregon to be sent At the foot of the blank is; "I came from (city), (state), years ago," and then follow the member's name and address. He said on this' subject: This is the first time in my public career that I ever drew a blank; I got two of these this afternoon, but none tonight That shows a horrible dearth of public spirit which is almost crim inal. I am going to have these blanks filled in If I have to make a canvass among you. If you can't write, we will furnish somebody to do it for you, but we want the names." He went on to tell how every one of the 25.000 hoys and girls in the city could help by writing a leter to their relatives In tho East and sending them a copy of this booklet, or, better still, writing a letter to the old home paper. Only about 25 per cent of the people of the city were native-born and the new comers could be made workers for the city by having meetings of the former residents of the different states and through Interesting news Items find a reason for the publication of facts about Portland. Children should be taught facts about their own city and state and the club could offer a cash prize for the best article on Portland and Oregon published in a newspaper outside of Portland. The Club would see that the traveling business men from Portland were interviewed In other cities and that their presence was noted In their trade papers. It would furnish letters of Introduction to Its members visiting In other cities, so that they could call on the officers of simi lar organizations and tell them what Portland Is doing. He told of many other ways In which publicity for Port land would be secured. Get Convention and Factories. "It Isn't millionaires that we want; we have plenty of them," said he, look ing around on his audience of men with biff bank accounts; "it's plain, ordinary . Mrs." M. S. Rogers. SO 0 ypmiaSo fi "I Feel Like a Different Woman Now i & rMXmnmMZ '' I1 and Am Never Troubled With Any Catarrhal Symptoms." ......1 Mrs. M. S. Rogers, Vice-President of Neenah Mothers' Club, Wisconsin, writes: "For years I was troubled with catarrh of the head and did not know what was the matter with me. I i was rarely without a headache over my eyes, and when I took cold my head stopped up. The discharge from my head was very obnoxious, my breath was bad and I was miserable for months.." "A friend suggested that I try Peruna, and as I had heard I of it before, I gladly did so. My many others who have used it. Cured me after using only seven bottles. " I feel like a different woman now. and am never troubled t with headaches, nor offensive breath, nor any of the evils result I Ing from catarrh." Mrs. M. S Rogers. ...... characters of all kinds. The impression is abroad that Portland has no use for the people of the country which has made It rich. This Is not so, but you stay at home and only send out your drummers, never going out to see the people yourself." He said they wanted to organize the Pacific Coast to get all the conventions in 1905 which meet in St Louis in 1904, saying, "The convention habit is a habit of the American people." He" urged that a large committee should take charge of the American Mining Congress, saying that great good could be done by "getting on the Inside'' of the congress. Delegations should be sent- out to organize the country towns, as had been done by New Orleans In organizing the Four States Immigration League of 100 such local organizations. An End to Pessimism. "You've got to get down off your dignity," he said. "You've got to learn that a man who says a word against his city is Just as much a traitor as one who will not fight for his country. It's a habit you've got into. You meet a man on the street and remark on the fine weather, and he will say: " 'Yes, but wo had a hell of a lot of rain last Winter.' He told how to secure the establishment of new factories without subsidies or bonus; which he strongly condemned, and suggested helping them by Inducing Job bers to handle their goods. He returned to the subject of the Lewis and Clark booklet, saying: "I know you are a little dignified and satisfied with yourselves, but I want to ask all those who are willing to fill out these lists to stand up." This was said with a good-humored smile which was Ir resistible, and the whole meeting stood up and laughed. He closed by urging the need of co-operation among all the cities of the Coast, saying, "Little towns like Seattle need our help." Then' the members of tho club gave Mr. Richardson a flattering salvo of applause, and In response to a call from the chair several of them made brief speeches pledging their approval and co-operation In the new departure. With one voice Benjamin I. Cohen, Whit ney L. Boise, J. Frank Watson, A. H. Devers, Colonel Irwin Mahon, Walter Bur rell. Ellis G. Hughes, W. H. Corbett and B. M. Brannlck approved the new move ment and the choice of the man to carry It out Then on motion of Mr. Boise a rising vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Richardson. AMERICAN HELD IN BUSSIA. Citizen of Wisconsin in Trouble Over Becoming Naturalized. CHELIABINSK, Russia, May It Morris Kleiman, a native of Russia, but a citi zen of Wisconsin, has been placed under arrest here, charged with violation of ar ticle 325 of the penal code. Law Under Which He Is Held. ST. PETERSBURG, May It Article 325 of the penal code, under which Klelman Is held at Chellablnsk, provides that "whoever absents himself from the father land, and enters the service of or swears allegiance to a foreign state without the government's permission, Is liable to de privation of civil rights and perpetual banishment from the confines of the em pire, or In the event of his return without permission, to transportation to Siberia," The second portion of this article Is only applicable when a person has been properly tried and condemned for Its vlo- ijr,rti2rivjC'iSi in nBll H rfcl ivv rftioVNkacseiSJpnii fiwflHsW vj&rr& MMsm?j : wMmmWLw i fflPra. ::HSiPBt experience was the same as ....... ...... ......4 lation by a competent court It was at first reported here that Klelman was held as a spy, and the attention of the Foreign Of fice was called thereto. The government Is now Investigating the matter. Russia has no naturalization treaty with the United States and the State Department while It has remonstrated on several occasions, has recognized that where a naturalized Russian returns voluntarily to the Juris diction of the Emperor, he is subject to the laws of Russia. If it develops that Kleiman expatriated himself with the consent of Russia, of course, he is not subject to the penalties provided for by article 325. In any case unless there 13 something more behind the arrest the gov ernment probably will release the man. It 13 understood that Kleiman represented an American agricultural company.

Brazil Stops Vessel She Alleges Is Carrying Ammunition for Peru. WASHINGTON, May It It is possible that Great Britain may become Involved in the threatened clash between Brazil and Peru. United States Minister Thomp son cables the State Department today from Petropolls that Brazilian officers yesterday stopped a British ship at Ma naos while she was making her way up the Amazon River on the ground that she had aboard 260 cases of ammunition des tined for the Peruvian military forces in the upper river country, the possession of which Is now a subject of dispute be tween Brazil and Peru. As there has been no declaration of war, it is expected that the British government will enter a protest against the stoppage of the ship as Illegal.
