" HAY FEVER * Having used Pcruna for catarrh and hay fever, / can recommend it to all who ere suffering with the above diseases. I cm hafpy to be able to say it has helped me wonderfully ?May me E. Smith. 4U ?- Mound Street, Columbus, Ohio. H&X FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is caused by some irritating substance in lue atmosphere during the late summer months. it; is generally thought .that the pollen of certain weeds and dowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the only rational cure. The use of Peruna, however, stimulates the nervous system to re wrt the ettect ot the poisonous emunauons ?nd sometimes carries the victim through the hay fever season without an attack of the disease. A large number of people rely upon Fevxma for this purpose. Ihose who do not tiiad it convenient to change their location ! to avoid Jiay Fever would do well to give Peruw a tnai. It has proven of priceless yaloe to many people. ~ ??? The Thirst of Mae. An Eastern travelling man and his Denver girl went into a Sixteenth street drug store Saturday and took * yflts before the soda fountain. "I think," said Miss Mae," that IH take a Sundae." "Did you ever hear how the Sundae got its name?" asked the travelling man as they sipped ice cream. "No," said the girl, "and I have often. wondered." "It was this way," the travelling man went on. "In Philadelphia several years ago a young couple went i ju> a soda fountain one Sunday for j something cool. He ordered an ice j cream soda and the girl said she'd take the same. Then she changed iter mind. 'I've sort o' gotten, tired ?? soda,' she said. 'I believe, seeing ilts Sunday. I'll just take the ice cream and syrup without the soda.' "Of course she mentioned Sunday (In a joking way, but the man be. ^ 3hind the counter had a bright idea. mi just make that a new dish,' he ?aid, 'and I'll call it a Sunday.' : 'That's how it originated," concluded the travelling man.

Lincoln has more republicans than democrats, and Bryan has in the past good-humoredly expressed the belief that it would be a task to reform the city politically, but on this occasion there was no line of partisan division and the welcome extended to both Mr. and Mts. Bryan was sincere and open-handed. Everybody showed good nature; nobody wanted to quarrel about politics and nearly the whole population showed that it was genuinely glad that so well known a man as Mr. Bryan lives in the city.

It was a half-holiday in the city and every train which brought not only Nebraska people, but many from nearby states was crowded. The city was handsomely decorated for the home coming, the fronts cf business houses being a mass of flags and bunting, while in the residence districts lithographs of Bryan in the windows, together with the national colors were everywhere seen. The non-partisan nature of the reception was emphasized in every way possible. The Bryan train arriyed at the Burlington station shortly after 5 o'clock p. m. Two hours before that' the crowd began assembling and was packed around the station, on the platforms cf freight and express buildings and on the sidewalks and in the street?for nearly half a block away. There was a roar of welcome | as the train rolled in and Mr. Bryan I appeared on the platform. In the par- j ty, aside from Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and their daughter, Grace, was the Lincoln delegation, which left the city over a week ago to meet him at New York, and which Mr. Bryan accompanied on its homeward trip, together with a few of the Nebraska democratic mayors, who also went to New York. Mr. Bryan's only expression as he, looked down on the^multitude of faces was: "Great Scott! what a crowd.'t In the afternoon exercises were held on the capitol grounds. It is estimated that 50,003 people listened to the addresses of welcome and a felicitous speech by Bryan. Following his speech. Mr. Bryan shook hands with the thousands who passed before him. , A display of firoworks ended the exercises. ; -i ; ; t_' . * : ' ? ' U*'' SULTAN ONLY TOO WILLING.

BLACKLISTING IS LEGAL | ' According to Decision Rendered by a United States Commissioner in Alabama?Interesting Matter. A decision of great interest and im. poriance was made recently by United States Commissioner John A. Elmore, at Montgomery, Ala., where he discharged Frank Young of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, who, it wa3 charged, had violated the law of the | United States in refusing to hire memj bers of the Order of Railway Telegraphers until they had repudiated the order. Commissioner Elmore held that the law was in conflict with the constitution of the United States. It is nAco'Klo rV>r>* llira toct r>f tlio inw will I K, WJUV bWb v*. vu w .M .. ,, Aaa be carried to a higher court. The charge made against Mr. Young was that on hiring B. A. Nesmith as a telegraph operator Mr. Young reQuired of him that he sign a written agreement not to become a member of the Order of Railway Telegraphers. This was declared by the plaintiff in this case, the United States, to be in violation of the act approved June 1, 1S9S, which seeks to forbid the making of any condition as necessary to the employment of any -one by common carriers acting under the direction of the interstate commerce commission. | . It was, in effect, argued by the attorney of the United States that Mr Young had been guilty of blackmailing, that he was dictating the conditions under which a man could be employed in the service of the Louisj ville and Nashville railroad, and die tating in violation 01 an act 01 congress. i Commissioner Elmore declined to I accept this view of the case. He held j that the act under which the charge was brought was unconstitutional. It was his opinion that in the passage Df the law congress invaded the rights I accorded the individual under the con! stitution. Mr. Young was, therefore, discharged. | % | "SEGAL GOT IT ALL!" I _ Hippie's Cry from the Tomb Arouses Looted Bank Depositors to Frenzy. Rumors of arrests of directors of the looted Real Estate Trust Company flew last in Philadelphia Thursday. District .Attorney Bell said positively that no man will be spared in the effort to bring to justice those rasponsible for the dissipation of the depositors' money. The statement has been made that two directors, also members of the bar, have profited to the extent of $750,000 in the last fh-oo vpmts hv accentine fees from Adolph Segal for passing on security tendered by him for loans from thio bank aggregating $5,300;000. President Hippie's plaintive cry from his grave," "Segal got it all!" has aroused the depositors to a high pitch of indignation. Lawyers representing many hundreds of them are taking an active part in the investigation of the company's accounts. The hearing in the cases of Adolph Segal, the promoter; William F. North, treasurer of the trust company, and M. S. Collingwocd, the assistant treasurer, on charges of helping to wreck the trust company, was held Thursday morning. The court room was crowded with men well known in the financial world. District Attorney Bell said he would prove that the accused men with Hippie, were engaged in a gigantic conspiracy to loot the trust company and that as a result of their acts more than $5,000,000 had been abstracted from the Institution and embezzled for the use of one man?Adolph Segal. Hirmle's confession, written just be fore he killed himself, was as follows: "To the Real Estate Trust Company: No one is to blame but myself. Segal got all the money. I was fooled into lending it to him, thinking his business good." CUBAN TROUBLE CLEARING. Pending PeacTe Proposals Hostilities Have Been Postponed.

The college that a famous man had been graduated from is'very likely to claim all the credit for his distinguished character and achievements. A portrait of the late John Hay was presented to Brown University this week, and, acording to the orator cf the occasion, the Brown of fifty years ago must be awarded ho end of glory for having had the young K*.y as a student and having given to him its diploma. If the colleges of fifty year3 ago were such inefficient places of learning-and mind training as Charles Francis Adams avows them to have been, a difficult problem arises in awarding to them just the proper amount of credit for their celebrated alumni. But however good or bad a college may be at a certain time, it IS sura LUIU uui avuic uuc nuu makes more or less of an impression upon the world in his after life. Did. the college "make" him? It is to be feared that some of the credit for a great career must be awarded to the man's grandfathers, grandmothers, and even his father and mother, then a little more to his training at home in the early plastic period down through adolescence, and still a little more to the other schools that helped to develop him, and finally a good round bit to the never-ending drill that he acquired away from books in the hurly-burley of life itself. What credit is left may be awarded to the anodest institution where the great man spent four short years out of his sixty or seventy. Really, this is not detracting from the credit due to a college for a great alumnus; it is mtvr^iv a nfmtest a-srainst the college taking all, as so often happens on commencement day, and at alumni diners.?Springfield Republican.

A traveller in the Celestial Kingdom says that in China many hundred people live their lives on boats. Among them there is a strange idea that a boat must have an eye painted on its bow in order to see its way through the water. An Englishman traveling in China once sat in the front of a small boat with his feet hanging over the painted eye. The owner became very much excited and begged the traveler not to cover the eye of the boat, as it must see its way. When the first railroad was built through China the native workers wanted to paint an eye on the front of the locomotive. They regarded it as dangerous. to have so fierce an appearing thing tearing its way through the country without an eye to guide its course. ? Roads in i^ i ** i ?^ja Oil For County Roads. Fulton County is making an enviable reputation through the whole country for the number and extent of its excellent roads. It has joined the Good Roads movement with enthusiasm and success. Of course the cost of building these roads has been great and the expense of maintenance for those already built is con siderable. After a careful and thorough investigation of the subject, the Journal wishes to suggest to the county authorities the plan of using the crude oil process, to save the cost of sprinkling with water, to lay the dust more effectually than it can otherwise be done, and to save in great part the heavy expense of maintenance,. due to wearing^ and washing. The automobiles now bowl along in every direction with a good degree 01 speed ana rne aust rises before them and trails behind them tq the discomfort of the following vehicles, be they automobiles or carriages and to the annoyance of pedestrians. This fine dust is then washed off by the next heavy rain and the road has to be repaired to go through with the same process again. The first experiment of oiling the roads was tried in California in 1899, with the view of laying the dust only, the contract being undertaken by the "Dustless Roads Company." Since the roads of southern California have been regularly treated with a sprinkling of oil for improvement and maintenance, with the additional advantage, of course, of rendering these roads practically dustless. The use of ofl on macadam roads has been especially satisfactory, and the process is cheaper than on ordinary roads. In fact, .from the testimony of experience it would seem that the use of Oil makes a macadam road the ideal highway for both summer and winter. - ~ The process is much,cheaper than, would appear at first glance. Crude oil can be delivered in Atlanta at a co3t of about 4 % cents a gallon. The. nnat nf thp nil snrinklers is trifline. A good job would require the use of some 2000 gallons of oil to the mile, or, with a layer of sand to absorb.it and make a hard, comract top dressing, of indefinitely lasting qualities, it would take 4000 gallons to the mile. It costs the property owners, on the extension of Peachtree street, beyond Fourteenth, a thousand dollars a season to sprinkle two miles of that road every summer, besides the cost to the county of maintenance. At the Jargest estimate it would cost only $680 worth of oil to sprinkle the'whole distance of four miles from Fourteenth street to Atlanta Heights, and this would make an infinitely better road and with no other.cost of maintenance for a. year. " - ' *' It is well worth the experiment on a short stretch of this road or some other in the county, and we offer the suggestion to the county commis-, sioners. We feel sure that- a fa4r trial of the oiling system will lead to its extension to the Fulton County roads generally, to their gre'at improvement, to an enormous saving in the cost of maintenance and to the increased comfort of. alL who use Jieao hl^hwavs. ** ' ' * 1 ' After the first application of oil, the first year, less and less is required with each succeeding year, and almost no other .outlay is necessary to keep the road in perfect condition. The macadam road thus treated becomes finally as smooth as asphalt and its freedom from dust and the hardness of the surface has caused such roads frequently to be mistaken for the genuine asphalt itself. * It would seem to be clearly .established that the next step forward for the improvement of our present splendid road system in Fulton County should be the oiling process.?Atlanta Journal. Road Building a Science. Everyone should De an auvutaic of good- roads. The farmer who has his produce to - market could haul larger loads and would also be able to do much of his teaming and running to town when the ground is too wet for general farming thus never losing a good day in the field. "-Withgood roads, riding for pleasure would tye a delight rather than a source of discomfort. There is a feeling among some that good roads are for the owners of automobiles and other "land crafts," but this is a grave mistake as ninety per cent, of the travel on our public highways is in line of business. Then, too, the success of the rural mail delivery depends largely upon the condition of the roads and I routes are laid out along the best highways, with the same idea that prevails in cities where the mail carriers do not have to deliver mail on ctrootc hnvinc no sidewalks. Then, too, land values are increased* by improving the highways for who wishes to live in a community .where there is not enterprise enough to secure good roads? So long as the tax is worked (?) out by the taxpayer so long will our roads be poor. Road building is a science.?National Fruit Grower. Rats rarely can resist sunflower seeds.

"We are wont to speak of this era &s the "age of iron," and there is no gainsaying that, industrially speaking, iron is a "precious metal." ' Nevertheless, few people realize how useful, if not absolutely necessary, to modern civilization, is that ' other metal, lead. Soft, yielding, pliable, it is not much like its sister metal, but those distinguishing qualities are whatfgive it such a prominent place in the arts and industries. Modern plumbing, requiring many turnings and twistings, but withal I tight joints, would be almost impos- < sible without lead pipe. The greatest civilizing agent in the world?the printing art?is absolutely dependent on lead. Hand-set type, linotype " "slugs," monotype type ? all are made of compositions of which lead is the chief component?to say nothing of the bearings in the presses as well as all other kinds or machinery in which "babbitt" metal is used. Solder-, is another lead product? what a field of usefulness that one form opens up. Then there is the most important use of all to which lead is put?paint, that necessary material which keeps our houses looking pretty ? insicle \ and out?and preserves them from < decay. How many of us thank metalic lead for the comforts of paint? Yet the best house paint is nothing but metalic lead corroded by acid to a white powder known as "white lead." Of course, there are many imitations of "white lead," some of which are sold as white lead and some which are offered by the name of ready-prepared paint under the familiar pretense that they are "just as good" as white le2d. But all good paint is made of the metal, lead, corroded and ground to a fine white powder and mixed with linseed oil. White lead is also used in the coating of fine oil cloths and for many; purposes besides paint. "Red lead" is another product of inetalic lead and is what is known as an oxide of lead, being produced by burning the metal. Red lea^ is the best paint known to preserve iron, steel or tin, and' is used largely in painting metal structures, such as skyscraper skeletons, milla 'and r|| bridges. There are many other products ot ^ the metal lead, ouch as litharge, . / orange mineral, etc., which are es- N; sential Id many of the arts in which we never imagine that lead would be-' of the least use. Verily,, we live in an age of lead. W as well as of iron. % * Worth the Money. , .1^ One of the credit men from the Ki South here attending the convention .
