THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. JULY 15, 1906. KLAMATH GIVEN . NEW ALLOWANCE Hitchcock Adds $1,000,000 to Fund for Reclamation. WILL LET NEW CONTRACTS increat-cd Land Office Receipts Swell Reclamation Fund Money Al lotted and in Prospect Will Finish the Project. ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July It. The Acting Secretary of the Interior has transferred another $1,000,000 of the reclamation fund for the Klamath irrigation project, making $2,000, 000 now immediately available for con struction. The greater part of this will be spent in Oregon, a small portion of the i irrigated land being in California. Work Is being energetically pushed on the con struction of the outlet tunnel from Klam- ath Lake. The Secretary also pledges $2,400,000 to complete the project. This additional money is to be available as soon as need led. This increase is the result of Sena tor Fulton's work during the last session. Land Receipts Increase. This increased allotment is possible be cause the public land receipts for the past year greatly exceeded the department's es timates. While the returns are not com plete, it is found that the receipts will exceed the estimates by more than $2,000, 000. and this increase has been divided among four states, Oregon and Califor nia, on the Klamath project; Washington, whose Increases have been heretofore an nounced, and Idaho, which gets addi tional money for its two projects now building. Will Let New Contracts. Doubling the cash allowance for the Klamath project opens the way for the letting of new contracts to reclaim land not included in the first unit, now under construction. Just what work will' be taken up next has not been fully deter mined. Much will depend on the recom mendations of Engineer Henry, who now has full charge of this project. The Klamath project can be built as a whole or in sections. It was originally Intended to build it by units, completing one unit before taking up the next. It has been found, however, that there will be no trouble In getting settlers upon these lands as fast as water Is ready and for this reason it was determined to push work hereafter. Draining Lakes Long Task. While only $2,000,000 is actually available -for immediate use, another $2,400,000 will be forthcoming -by the time the engineers are able to use it. Considerable land to be reclaimed is now lake bed or swamp. "Until the water has been drained off and these lake beds have dried, it will be im jx)sslble to complete the project. This draining and drying process will require several years; but in the meantime all land now arid which is Intended to he re claimed will be brought under ditches. Under the allotment made today It is be lieved that work on the Klamath project can proceed without interruption until the last ditch is dug and water turned on every available acre. More Money for Idaho. The allotment for the Boise-Payette project is increased to $1,490,000. and for Minidoka to $1,555,000. The previous al lotment for each was $1,300,000. The Boise Payette project will cost more than the original allotment: the Increase for Mini doka will pay for building the storage reservoir at hake Jackson needed to pro vide ample water for this project. Senator Dubois leaves for home tomor row. ENLARGE BOISE BARRACKS Taft Allots Funds to Accommodate Four Troops of Cavalry. ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 14. Secretary Taft today Informed Senator Heyburn that he would direct that Jin, 000 be expended III I'llini fillip uwioc i.ii i i iiL rv n Luis nai.ai year. This amount will start barracks for four troops of cavalry. It Is as sumed that additional allotment will be made next year to continue the en largement. This allotment positively assures the permanent retention of Boise Barracks. SOCIALISTIC ISSUES. Farmer Discusses Events From Pe culiar Viewpoint. WOODSTOCK, Or., July 14. tTo the Editor.) Although a busy farmer, working 16 hours a day In the sweltering heat, is eadly handicapped when opposed to a great newspaper with Its accumulated stock of knowledge and everything handy for refer ence, when a fellow feels that he Is right he does not like to subside like a clam. "With your permission I wish to make fur ther remarks in answer to your recent edi torial. "Anarchists and Others.' upon my article, "Bombs and Anarchists," both of fwhlcl appeared in The Oregonlan July 2. I acknowledge the misquotation from Col lier's, "Hounded" for "Railroaded," but In this case the difference Is not material. Concerning Gorky, If the newspapers had told the truth In the first place, as some of them afterward did, when It was too late to repair the Injury done, not even the Immaculate and exacting Mrs. Grundy could have taken offense. With reference to the members of fn notorious Pinkerton Detective Agency. I ob jected to their having a voice in the regu lation of citizens on the ground that they are a self-constituted organization, author ised by no one. They exist for the service of the rich, and will furnish men for any undertaking provided the cash Is forthcom ing. Mr. Watkin says that H. C Frick em ploys a Pinkerton man at a salary of $10,000 per annum to dog another man's footsteps, with finger on trigger and murder in his heart, .should, in his opinion, occasion arise. Xc Par '.and firm gained unenviable no toriety by Invading the antiiraclte coal fields of Pennsylvania, where his criminal efforts consisted In a terles of Impassioned and anarchistic appeals to the men with whom he w orked to commit murder. He, being a man of masterful mendacity, found it a task of the utmost simplicity to Influence hi.s inferior associates un;! Imbue them with the belu-r mat ruthless murder was their legitimate avenue of ndress for any griev ance against a boss. The result was that ne snejked off and regaled the authorities with purported facts concerning the Mnlly Magulre organisation. On the strength of his testimony perjured beyond the perad venture of a doubt a number of men were railroaded to the gallows, wiiere they ex plated crime? for which McParland should haw be-n punished. Then Mrpiirland took to the tail uncut. He is now polluting the atmosphere : Idaho with h!.; polaonoua presence, and is nor more engaged In tne lucrative prac tice jf verpovatk-n pimping, and the manu- facture of false evidence. His infamous em ployers retail the stuff to the personnel of the Mine Owners Association. Backed by it. McParland conducted the kidnaping of the three officers of the Western Federa tion of Miners Moyer, pettlbone and wood from Colorado Into Idaho, an act that would further disgrace even the State of Colorado. These men, who are now held in custody by the Sheriff of Ada County. Idaho, were extradited from the State of Colorado by methods that would reflect no credit upon the official barbarism of Cossack-ridden Russia. They were seized in the darkness of the night by the official kidnapers of Idaho and Colorado, and through the col lusion of the Governors of two sovereign states placed on board a special train and guarded by a military escort, reinforced by Pinkerton hirelings, until they were landed behind the walls of a state bastile. They were denied the right to communicate with friends or attorneys and denied a hearing In the courts of the state in which they were residents. This outrage was committed by men who wear the badge of authority, and who have sworn to uphold the law and the constitu tion. You say that both ex-Governor Pea body of Colorado and Governor Gooding of Idaho have been sustained by the courts in what I call their "anarchy." I beg to differ. The situation In Colorado was as follows: There had been an eight-hour law upon the statute books, which the Supreme Court had declared unconstitutional. A constitu tional amendment making It obligatory for the Legislature to enact such a law was adopted at the general election in 1902 by a majority of 46,000 votes. The corporations of the state, by means of a lobby and the collusion of Governor Peabody, prevented the enactment of the law. With this high handed piece of lawlessness began the his tory of Colorado's shame, and the long list of crimes that followed were In harmony with such a beginning. Every official elected by the people was deposed at the point of a gun, and minions of Peabody and the Mine Owners' Association were put in their places. The members of the Western Fed eration of Labor were rounded up, beaten, shot, deported or thrown In bull-pens, their stores destroyed and their wives and daugh ters Insulted and abused. Peabody afterward had much to say about lawlessness. But If anything has ever hap pened in the history of any state that be-, trays such contempt for law and such utter disregard for the principle upon which pop ular government Is founded, it has not up to this time been disclosed. Concerning the kidnaping by Governor Gooding and Mc Parland of Moyer, Haywood et al. the courts have not yet passed judgment. As to intemperance, that all depends upon the view-point. Russell, Tarbell, Steffens, London, Sinclair are all muck-rakes ac cording to the interests affected by their writing. To be virtuous is to be lonesome, and to tell the truth Is to be a crank. As to impatience, I fully acknowledge it. Im patient with the existing chaotic order of things and the indifference of so many who could help to revolutionize matters. It is necessary to build a. fire under some people to get a move on them. But the world docs not move backward. Neither does it stand still, although at times it appears to move very slowly. Only a. very few years ago no Socialistic writer could get an article published out side of the Socialist press. There appeared to be a conspiracy of silence on the sub ject. Today, almost any good newspaper you plclc up contains something on Social ism. From an editorial in The Oregonlan of a short time ago I quote the following: "We suppose our country Is booked for So cialism. . It is not an Issue which this newspaper has sought. . . . But It is upon us today, and it challenges at tention, and tomorrow and next year its de mands will be more imperative still. The astonishing growth of it is due to the in ordinate greed of a plutocracy wnlch never will admit that It has had enough." Other great papers are soliciting articles from Socialistic pens. CHARLES PYE. SEATTLE ON SIDE TRACK NORTH BANK ROAD WILL DI VERT MUCH BUSINESS. Easy Grades Along the Columbia Will Be Utilized to the Ad vantage of Portland. SPOKANE. Wash.. July 14. (Special.) Spokane railroad official believe Presi dent Hill will carry out his promise to extend the Portland & Seattle to Spokane by an Independent route, and the infer ence is that Portland will be materially benefited. Northern Pacific engineers are already in the field between Spokane and the proposed right of way of the Pasco- Riparia branch in an effort to locate the most advantageous grade and the least curvature. When such a route has been established, the Spokane branch terminal on the south will be announced. The easiest route that has yet been mapped out, it is said, touches Washtuena, thence through Devil's Canyon to the Snake River, tapping the western terminal at or near Perry. A main line from Spokane to Portland more adequate than the present one, can be made. The extreme grades between Spokane and Pasco, approximating 1 per cent in many instances, as well as the multitude of curves that are encoun tered, have long been perplexing to the engineers of the Northern Pacific, bev eral officials even go so far as to say- that almost any route would be prefer able to the one now being used. One effect of the new route will be to divert immense passenger and freight traffic from Spokane to the Coast by the way of Portland. It is said that the plan if carried into execution would re suit in a reduction of trans-Pacific busi ness for Seattle. Most of the Puget Sound business, it is believed, would be transported to Ta- coma and Seattle as usual by the pro posed new line to the Coast. The new route, it is believed, will become the short and main line to the Pacific Coast. A year, it is said, will be required to finish the Pasco-Portland line, only 15 miles of the grading having been com pleted to date. Clyde G. Cornell. CLOVBRDALE, Or.. July 13.

FOUND BY CHANGE Strange Story of Proof of Dreyfus' Innocence. TOLD BY OLD SCHOOLMATE Discovery Made by Bunp.u Varilla In Comparing IiCtter With Border eau Publication of the Docu ment Convicted Esterhazy. PARIS. July 14. As a fitting epilogue to the acquittal of Alfred Dreyfus, M. Philip Bunau-arVilla today gave the Associatea Press a remarkable story of how he first discovered positive proof of Dreyfus' in nocence and the guilt of Major Count Es terhazy, a story heretofore known to only a few intimates, including Dreyfus, who said during a recent dinner here that, while the establishment or ms inmwi" was attributed to many causes, M. Bu-nau-Varilla's chance detection of the counterfeit bordereau, or the main docu ment on which the prosecution relied, was the real cause of the triumph of justice. M. Bunau-Varilla said: Dreyfus and I entered the polytechnic school together in 1873. Our ways parted on our graduation, he going into the army and I becoming a government engineer. We seldom came together, but once, chancing to meet him, we chatted about a project which I was directing for the development of the French Congo. Later Dreyfus wrote me asking information about the project for the purpose of writing a geographical study of the French possesions In Africa. Through an dversight the letter remained unan swered. Had Photograph of Bordereau. It was some years later that Dreyfus was arrested and convicted before a secret court martial. I first thought be was a victim of the prevailing anti-Semitic sentiment, but the conviction appeared to establish his guilt. Happening to dine afterwards with my brother Maurice, proprietor of the Matin, he spoke of having a photographic reproduction of the bordereau constituting the only proof on which Dreyfus was con victed. One of the official photos of the bordereau had been submitted to the court, but some one had photographed one of the photos and this was delivered to my brother with the idea that its publication would prevent further assertions that Dreyfus was innocent. However, Maurice decided not to publish it. as he did not wish again to call public attention to Dreyfus, who was then considered to be a vile traitor. Handwriting not Dreyfus': When my brother spoke of the bordereau, the idea flashed across my mind that I might compare the document with some thing written by Dreyfus during our school days at the polytechnic school. I finally found the old, unanswered letter in which Dreyfus asked for Information relative to the Congo. In Dreyfus' letter to me, the words hav ing a double "s" were written with a long "s" first and a short "s" second, whereas In the bordereau It was just the reverse. My brother made an independent comparison of the bordereau and the letter and reached the same conclusion, namely, that the hand writing of the letter about the Congo was not that of the bordereau. As together we realized this discovery, we felt as though an earthquake had shaken us. Proves Esterhazy Wrote It. Maurice immediately announced his deter mination to publish the photograph . of the bordereau so that everyone possessing let ters written by Dreyfus would be able to make comparisons, and the following day the people generally and the Dreyfus family in particular saw for the first time what has since been known as the bordereau. The appearance of the autograph of the bor dereau led M. Castro, a stockbroker, to rec ognize it as being in the handwriting of one of bis clients. Count Esterhazy, thus pre cipitating Esterhazy's trial and the publi cation of Zola's famous "I accuse" letter. If I had not forgotten to answer the letter Dreyfus wrote to me about the Congo the photograph of the bordereau would not have appeared in the Matin and Dreyfus would be dead in shame or still confined on Devil's Island. DREYFUS HERO OF FRANCE Besieged by Friends and Swamped With Congratulations. PARIS. July 14. The celebration of the French national holiday today as sumed special significance in connec tion with Dreyfus resuming: his place In the army. The Official Journal this morning published a decree announc ing his reinstatement and promotion and inscription on the list of chevaliers of the Legion of Honor. Dreyfus, who remains in his apart ments, is besieged byx many friends, who are congratulating him on his final success. Hundreds of felicita tions have reached him by mail, tele graph and cable. The date of his re ceiving, his sword and putting on his uniform awaits his assignment to a regiment. CROWDS CHEERING DREYFUS Review of Troops on Bastile Day Causes Demonstration. PARIS, July 14. President Fallieres to day reviewed the troops at Longchamps. The principal features of the day were the enormous crowds and the frequent shouts of "Vive Dreyfus," showing the prevailing sentiment. The King of Cambodia assisted at the review, where the President's personal guests in the tribute included Ambassa dor McCormick and Mrs. McCormick and Congressman Nicholas Longworth and Mrs. Longworth. Sarraut Wounded in Lang. PARIS. July 14. The condition of Under Secretary of State Sarraut, who was dan gerously wounded in the breast yesterday in a duel fought with M. Pugliesi-Conti. following the passage of the law restor ing Dreyfus to the army, is stationary. He passed a calm night, and no complica tions have developed. The doctors diag nosed the wound as a perforation of the upper part of the right lung. HURT COMES TO RELIEF 1 Continued From Page I.) to the cause, nothing has been said against him by the members of his flock. Outsiders have disapproved of his meth ods of working people up to a high pitch of religious feeling. Ryan has been en gaged in evangelistic work here for six or eight years, and has always had a band of followers of the sort that take up with novelties in religious worship. It was he who, a few years ago. rented the "Half Way House," a resort of exceed ingly bad repute in North Salem, and turned it into a refuge home for fallen women. The enterprise fell through. After the failure of that project, Ryan secured the property of the old State Blind School, on Twelfth street, and opened his mission. A church was erected and the old Blind School building was used as a "holiness college." a sort of boarding school, where several families. mostly women and children, lived. Some time after the exposure of the Creffield proceedings at Corvallis, it was discov ered that U. B. Evans, one of the preach ers in the Holiness Mission, was main taining Improper relations with a wom an teacher, and an investigation brought a confession. Evans was dismissed and left for the East. Ryan was an advocate of extending for giveness to Evans, and in the continuance of the controversy his exercise of author ity was questioned. He had not been as successful In securing donations as had Dowie, but he followed the Dowie policy in retaining absolute control of the prop erty and funds. In the contest for con trol, possession prevailed, however, and the dissenters withdrew, erected a new church building, and selected W. M. Mc Candlish as leader. Ryan still rules at the mission and has also acquired a five- acre tract south of this city, where he ex pects to build up a mission under his ex clusive control and managed according to his ideas. But the tragedies of Holy Rollerism have had a retarding effect upon the type of religious enthusiasm which manifests itself in wild shouting, embracing and prostration upon the floor. Free love can no longer be safely preached or quietly taught, for an aroused public sentiment will take vigorous action to put an end to guch doctrines. Many people who were regular attendants at the Holiness Mis sion, and worshipers in the church, have ceased even this connection with the or ganization lest they find themselves un wittingly involved in scandal. PIHATES ATTACK A STEAMER CHINESE Kill, TWO PASSEN GERS AND WOUND CAPTAIN. Engineer Hides Behind Boilers, but Is Badly Burned British War ship Leaves for Scene. HONG HONG, July 14. The British steamer Sainam was attacked by Chinese pirates last evening at a point 50 miles from Wu Chow. The Rev. Dr. McDonald was shot and killed. The captain of the steamer was badly wounded and the engineer saved himself by hiding behind the boilers. He was, however, badly burned. A Chinese passenger was also killed. The pirates escaped in junks. H. M. S. Moorhan has left for the scene. R. J. McDonald, M. D., and his wife were stationed at Woo Chu in the inter est of the Wesleyan Missionary Society. CONTRACTS FOR REBATES Damaging Evidence Against Stand ard Oil Is Being Collected. CLEVELAND, O., July 14. (Special.) Certified copies of contracts which show that the Standard Oil Company (has col lected rebi -is lrom the railroads of the country have been demanded of all the railroads by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Circular letters eent out by the commission at Washington this week have been received by the railroads in this city, and it is understood tliat most of them will be prompt in sending in the copies of the contracts. In case any of the railroads should refuse to compiy with the commission's request, that body will at once issue subpenas for the con tracts and will administer punishment to the railroads in case the process-servers fail to get the contracts. The contracts wanted are for the sup plies of lubricating oil that are bought by the railroads from the Galena Signal Oil Company, of Franklin, Pa., which is an offspring of the Standard Oil Company. Independent oil men have put forth every effort to get some of this oil business away from the Galena company, but none of them have ever succeeded. GOVERNMENT GETS DECISION Members of Fertilizer Trust Must Answer in Tennessee Court. RICHMOND, Va July 14. (Special.) An important decision for the Government was announced today by Judge Goff, who sustained Judge Waddell, of the United States District Court, in holding that res ident officers of the fertilizer trust must answer at the bar of the Tennessee Fed eral Court, which indicted officials of the "Wrginia-Carolina. Chemical Company for violating the Federal anti-trust statute. The penalty is a fine of $10,000 or one year's imprisonment. Judge Waddell is sued a removal execution against J. G. Tinsley, vice-president of the Tennessee Chemical Company, which is alleged to be a branch of the Virgin la-Carolina Com pany. The defendant then resorted to proceed ings before Judge Goff, and this phase of the case was fought out for three days in an oratorical contest the like of which has seldom been seen in the courts here. This afternoon, after E. L. Sandford, the special assistant to the Attorney-General of the United States, who is prosecut ing the fertilizer case for the Government, had concluded his argument. Judge Goff rendered a decision sustaining Judge Waa dell. An appeal from Judge Goff's decte ion will now be made to the Supreme Court of the United States. RAMSEY CONFESSES POOLING All St. Louis Bridges Combine and Divide Earnings. ST. LOUIS, July 14. Joseph Ramsey, Jr., former president of the Wabash Railroad, who was president and gen eral manager of the Terminal Railroad Association from 1892 to 1895, was the principal witness today in the Govern ment's suit to dissolve the Terminal Rail way Association. Mr. Ramsey testified that following the agreement between the Wiggins Ferry Company, the Merchants' Bridge & Terminal Railway Company and the Terminal Association to pool their earn ings, the three corporations ceased to solicit business. Mr. Ramsey said the new terminal "community of interests" prorated the revenue of all traffic cross ing the Mississippi. The Eads Bridge Company received 55 per cent as its share, the Wiggins Company 25 per cent and the Merchants' Bridge Company 20 per cent, Irrespective of the volume of business handled by each company. Mr. Ramsey recited in detail the conditions under which the Terminal Association obtained possession of the Wiggins Ferry Com pany nd how subsequently 10 of the 14 roads embracing the terminal combine secured control of the Alton bridge, thus preventing absolutely any railroad from acquiring an independent entrance into St. Louis. The Government scored an important point when Mr. Ramsey admitted that the bridge toll at St. Louis is made part of the through rates on all business to and beyond St. Louis. The hearing was adjourned to October. Plumber Sues Supply Trust. ST. LOUIS. July 14. Suit for $250,000 damages was filed here today by the Coyne Bros. Plumbing Company against the Crane Company, the L M. Rumsey Manufacturing Company and the N. O. Nelson Manufacturing Company. The petition alleges that the three firms sued are in a trust and that they refused to sell plumbers supplies to the Coyne firm because it was not in the Master Plumb ers' Association.

The United States will follow the suggestion of the contending governments, if they indicate a desire to accept the mediation offered. No sug gestion as to the mode of procedure to be followed will come from the United States, it is announced here today, un less request or suggestion should be made by Guatemala or Salvador. SOCIAL LEADER WEDS WHIP Announcement Made That Ceremony Was Performed Long Ago. NEW YORK. July 14. Mrs. Fannie Burke Roche, of New York and New port has become the wife of Aurel Bau tonyi, the riding master and whip, and they are now in Europe. Announcement of the marriage was made tonight by Frank Work, father of Mrs. Burke Roche, at his home in this city.

Mrs. Burke Roche sailed for Europe several months ago, to procure the trousseau of her daughter, Cynthia, who was married re cently to James A. Burden, Jr. It was said tonight that Batonyi followed ner on a boat which sailed ten days later. Batonyi has been in the United States about 15 years. He is well known as a riding master and has had among his pupils many well known New Yorkers He is also known as a whip. It was in this capacity that he first met Mrs. Burke Roche. Mrs. Burke Roche has always been a prominent figure in society here and in London. She secured a divorce from James Boothby Burke Roche in 1886, at Wilmington, Del. HOUSES ARE SWEPT AWAY One Man Is Drowned in Flood and Much Damage Done. TRINIDAD, Colo., July 14. A hundred people who live In Rhodes Canyon, IS miles north of this city, are tonight sleep ing in a drenching rain on the hills to escape a terrible flood that is raging in that canyon. One man, whose name is not known, was drowned at Berwin. Seven houses and a general store of the mining camp of Tabaco have been washed away. The water came down the arroya to night about 6 o'clock, carrying many cat tle and horses with it. All bridges across the streams, including the Colorado & Southern bridge at Tabaco, were carried out by the flood, and the south-bound train, due here at 7:30 P. M., is held on the north bank of the canyon. The north bound passenger train on the Colorado & Southern is held six miles below here, owing to the washing away of the track, and the passengers cannot be transported across the river bridge. The flood in this city did considerable damage, and tonight at 6 o'clock a num ber of the buildings along the river were flooded. The streetcar service was put out of commission by the flooding of the power-house. JURY OUT IN MURDER CASE Weighs Evidence Against Hargis, Accused of Killing Marcum. BATYSVIL.L.E. Ky., July 14. (Spe cial.) The case against Judge James Hargis, accused of the murder of J. B. Marcum. went to the Jury late today, after arguments on both sides had been completed. In his Instructions to the jury tee Judge s;ild that, if they be lieved Hargis conspired with anyone to kill Marcum, he should be convicted, but If they did not believe the evidence Knight Templar of Colorado Was Restored to Health By Pe-ru-na After a Long Illness. MR. JAMES J. OSBORN. 623 N. Wahsatch Ave., Colorado Springs. Colo, has filled all the positions in Knights Templar Masonic Order, was a Mason since 1866, Judge of County Court, Clinton, Mo., also County Collector of Clinton. He writes: "A sluKKloh liver which I had been troubled with for two years made life miserable and I was unable to attend to my business half the time. I lacked energ-y, had headache most of the time, and my food distressed me and did not seem to do me a particle of good. "Reading of the many cures performed by Peruna, I decided that it would not hurt to try a bottle. Before 1 had taken many doses I certainly felt better and by the time I had taken one bottle there was r. marked change for the better. I took It as dlrectei for two months, when I was a well man, able to go down to busi ness every day and take hold of my work with renewed strength and vigor. You have an excellent remedy." Sluggish Liver Described. How Pe-ru-na Relieves Such Cases. A sluggish liver is brought about In the following way: There Is a catarrhal condition of the mucous membrane lining the stomach. This catarrhal condition spreads down ward to that portion of the ali mentary canal just below the stom ach known as the duodenum. Into the duodenum empty the bile ducts. These bile ducts are lined with mucous membrane continuous with the mucous membrane of the duodenum. The catarrhal inflam mation therefore gradually spreads from the membranes of the stomach and duodenum into the bile ducts. This thickens the mucous mem branes and clogs up the ducts. The bile is then turned back into the liver and the whole circulation of the liver Impeded, producing what is known as a sluggish liver. Cathartics bring only temporary relief. They slush out the liver for the time and relieve this sluggish ness, but it has been the universal experience of mankind that the slug gishness will return very quickly. The only permanent relief is ob tained from a course of treatment that tends to allay the catarrhal in flammation. Thousands of people have found Peruna to be such a rem edy. It removes the cause of the sluggishness of the liver by remov ing the ca tarrhal condi tion. A great many d 1 s a -greeable symp TIRED LIVERS INVIGORATED. toms are caused by a sluggish liver. Listlessness, an all-tired-out feeling, lack of energy, confusion of the senses, sleeplessness, yellow skin, coated tongue these are a few of the symptoms produced by a sluggish liver. The condition of the stomach and liver above described has been for many years denominated by Dr. Hart man as systemic catarrh. Patients of this kind are generally supposed to be afflicted with malaria. Quinine, alternated with physic, is the usual treatment. Disappointment generally follows such a treatment. Those who have ever tried Peruna for such a condition never fall to resort to It again whenever they have occasion to do so.

Trickett, assistant Attorney General, who recently closed the saloons at Kansas City, Kan., said today: "Pro ceedings will be filed against two members of the police department and probably against a higher city official for levying tribute on 'joint keepers by attempting to guarantee them Immunity from arrest and prosecution. Not only $60 was collected from each 'joint keeper' In May, and $100 for each in June, but for months prior to that time a 'campaign fund' of $15 a month was collected from each 'joint keeper.' I expect to have 100 affidavits from that number of 'joint keepers' who have been forced to pay these large sums of money to a certain official in the employ of the city." Before Assistant Attorney General Trickett began his crusade there were about 130 saloons in Kansas City, Kan., and Its suburbs. MEET NEXT AT SPOKANE Sixteenth Convention B. V. P. U.
