A Remarkable Experience of a Prominent

CONGRESSMAN IIEEKISON GIVES
A HIGH END ORSE2ifEH"T.
CCS-r.SSSSIAlT 1SSSSIS01T, 0? OHIO.
Hon. David Meekison is well known, not only in his own state, but through
out America. He began his political career by serving four Consecutive terms
as Mayor of the town in w hich he lives, daring which time he became widely
known a the founder of the Meekisnn Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected
to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large; majority, and is tiie acknowledged
leader of hi party In his section of the state.
Only one flaw marred the ot hern ise complete success of this rising states
man, catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only
imeon.Tjuered foe. For thirty yeara he waged unsuccessful warfare against this
personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and he dictated the fol
lowing letter to Dr. Hart man as the result:

.Many j pie can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal a flections. A Hula hoarseness,
a, slight cough, a cold in the bead, or a
trirUng derangement of the diges'ive
organs, do not much disturb the average
. n in his business.
But this is not true of the public
sn-?aker or stage artist. His voice must
always be clear, lungs perfect, digestion
undisturbed. Hence the popularity of
Perur.n among the leading actors and
a.-iv-- of this country.
They- have come to regard Peruna as
indispensable to their success. Their
prof-ssion i so exacting that it requires
perfect health in every particular. They

Mary letters are received from this
class- of people. Miss Carrie Thomas, a
prominent actress of New York City in
speaking of Peruna, says: 'I have used
i'eruna uith splendid results. Would
not be without it. Xo money would hire
j ae to have a settled cold or chronic
cotisii. or hoarseness. Catarrh is the
most dreadful thins that could happen
to me of my profession. Peruna is my
Fhield a:: 1 protector against this most
uP'Wiralile disease." Carrie Thomas.
The season of catching cold is upon
ns. The cough and the sneeze and the
r.asal twang is to he heart! on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh,
tne most common and dreadful of
chronic diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches cold,
w ii e h hansrs on longer than usual. The
t i generally starts in 1 he head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness of
the air passages which incline one to
catch cold very easily. At last the per
son has a. cold all the while seemingly,
more or less discharge from the nose,
hawking, spitting, frequent cleaning of
the throat, nostrils stopped up, full
f-elii:tf in the fcead, and sore, intlamed
throat.
Toe best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna
properly used, never fails to cure a com-

While many people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by a single bottie of
Peruna, yet. as a rule when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than one
bottle is necessary to complete a cure.
Peruna has cured cases innumerable of
catarrh of twenty years' standing-. It is
the best, if not the only internal remedy
for chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight

this season of the year and thus prevent
what Is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh.

MEIKLE JOHN'S SLCCESS0K.
W. C. Sanger, of New York, to Be As
sistant Secretary of Wat.
New York, March 6. A special to the
iribune from Washington says:
The president has selected William
carey Banger, ot .Mew York, for as
sistant secretary of war, In succession to
George D. Meiklejohn, of Nebraska, who
has held the omce ror the last four
years. Colonel Sanger, who, with his
wife, formerly Miss Dodge, a daughter
of Gen. P. C. Dodge, of New York, is
now a guest at Secretary Boot's home,
has long been the choice of the secre
tary to serve as his assistant in dispos
ing or the enormous and rapidly grow
Ing business of the war department, and
his nomination would have gone to the
senate some time ago had not the ad
ministration feared that the acceptance
of iiis resignation might Injure the pros
peots of Mr. Meiklejohn for one of the
two vacant Nebraska senatorships, for
which he is now a leading candidate be
fore the legislature at Lincoln. , It Is
thought now that the announcement
need no longer be delayed on this ac
count. Colonel Sanger's nomination may,
therefore, be sent V the senate for con
firmation In a day or two, and if so,
he may take charge of tois office next
week. Colonel Sanger's great military
experience and legal ability are said to
have been the chief elements which led
to his selection for the office which
though already one of considerable dig
nity and responsibility, it is the inten
tion of the president and Secretary Root
to make much, more important in every
respect.
Since the war department has come to
be the branch of the government that
spends more money than any two of
the other departments combined, the
need of a thoroughly capable assistant
to the secretary has been most pressing.
The treasury and state departments
each have three such assistants, the
postofflce has four, the interior two and
the others have one each.
Colonel Sanger at the outset will have
charge of the recruiting service, which
is now engaged in the work of raising
the army to a strength of loo.OoO; of all
matters relating to enlisted men, their
discharges, quarters and rations, their
courts martial, Including the exercise of
clemency, and matters relating to pris
oners at military prisons and peniten
tiaries; of all claims and accounts of
appointments: transfeis and promotions
in the civil service, and everything that
affects the great civil force of the war
department; the military departments
and the military government in the
Philippines; of insular customs and
tariffs, also of sales of subsistence and
quartermasters' stores to civilians; mat
ters relating to national cemeteries,
boards of survey and open market pur
chases, and on his Judgment all medals
will be awarded.
Under the contemplated reorganization
of the war department, which is to be
made in the coming summer, probably
at the end of the current fiscal year, on
June 30, other duties will devolve tipon
him and in addition he must act as
secretary whenever Secretary Root is
absent. The last responsibility Is un
derstood to be the chief motive for
Colonel Sanger's selection, a Secretary
Root can not confine himself so closely
to his desk as he has in the past with
out serious consequences to his health.
Colonel Sanger's long service as in
spector general of the national guard of
the state of New York, and his fond
ness for military matters, are believed
to fit him for important work in the war
department. Colonel Sanger has shown
particular interest in the building up of
a national reserve, which is a subject
near Secretary Root's heart. Colonel
Sanger is 47 years old. He is a relative
of General Sanger, of the regular army,
who recently took: the census of Cuba
and Porto Rico.

FASTER SERVICE
Is Being Arranged For Freight Be
tween the Two Oceans.
New York, March 6. The Journal of
Commerce says: A movement is being
energetically pushed for an expedited
freight service from California to New
York, the fruit growers being especially
interested. Mr. Horace Day of Sgobel
& Day, large receivers of California
fruits, said that an improved service
was absolutely necessary and the rail
roads should promptly take the matter
up to be prepared for the shipments of
deciduous fruits which wll! begin in
May. Freshness and brightness and
soundness W'ere indispensable if the fruit
is to realize remunerative prices and
these features can only be secured by
cutting down the time in trrnsit.
Mr. Ruhlman & Co. said: "It takes
now, on an average, from 15 to 17 days
to get fruit here from California, where
as formerly it required but ten or eleven
days. It is hardly necessary to point
out the importance, both to the railroads
and to this market, of having quicker
service, so as to bring the fruit here in
better condition. Recently the market
was affected because the fruit offered
had been delayed so long in transit that
it had spoiled. . As for the railroads, it
ia to their interest as well, it seems to
me, to give faster transportation and to
land the merchandise here in good con
dition, because when a car is spoiled
dealers refuse to receive it and it is
thrown back on the railroad people to
be disposed of as best they can. There
is, in such cases, a loss of freight and
the use of the car. There is certainly
need for quicker service and I have rea
son to believe that the efforts now being
made in this direction will bring about
the desired results."
Mr. B. Tenbroeck of the Union Pacific
railroad company said:
"No complaints have reached us from
the local handlers of . California fruit
about delays. I understand there is some
complaint on the coast of the shortage
of cars. As to the service by the roads
I think the usual time is being made and
if there are deiays they probably occur
between Chicago and the east and are
due largely to a heavy movement of
freight and to severe cold weather. De
lays are bound to occur at times, but so
far as the railroads are coin-erred, they
are just as anxious to get the freight
through and off their bands as the local
interests are to receive it, since it is
perishable merchandise-"
Tests For Real Diamonds.
From the London News.
Recent arrivals from South Africa
have brought (says a correspondent) the
most wondrous specimens of "diamonds"
with Ihem, beautiful to behold, but,
alas, they would not sciatch glass, while
some of the most beautiful of all can
be cut with a pocket knife. It is tol
erably simple to say whether a stone is
a diamond or not. If you can scratch
a sapphire with it you want no further
test, it is a diamond. If you rub it with
wool or on wood In the dark and it phos
phoresces, it is a diamond. If you look
through it at a light and only see ona
Hsrht it is' most probably a diamond.
The X-rays have discovered that a dia
mond ts nearly, if no quite, translucent
to these rays, whereas the brightest
"paste" contains most lead and throws
the blackest shadow. And a diamond
tastes cold, whereas a paste gem tastes
warm. Major Eattersby, O. S. I).. writ
ing on this subject, said that Solomon's
words were very true as applied to per
sons giving information to those in pos
session of "precious stones." Very often
