He does not hesitate to say that Peruna invigorates and give. fresh strength to mind and body. Such testimonials as this ought to I make Peruna popular.

Mr. Matthew O'Hare, 145 William St., Pall River, Mass., writes: \About four years ago I consulted • physician to get relief from a cold which had stopped up my head and also settled on my lupgs, resulting in ca- tarrh and alsti - threst difficulties. \He gave me some medicine, but four months faithful use of the same did me no good. 1 then tried other doctors, but. it was just the same. \So I decided to try Peruna and after using two bottles my lungs began to heal, I did not cough nearly so much and slept better. \In six months the cough, estarrh and throat difficulties were all eured. \I was pleased with the result and wish to write you of it.

Fo, SUIT AGAINST DOLENTY. • A Bank Deal That Has Some Peculiar Features. Livingston, Feb. 7.—An important case. and one which is attracting un- usual attention, was commenced in the district court here today. The First State bank of -this city, through its attorneys, has brought an action *o recover the sum of $59,000, which, the complaint alleges, is owing that instituticn by W. B. Dolenty, who was until recently the principal own- er and president of the bank. Some time before the first of the new year, Mr. Dolenty disposed of his Interest to W. G. Conrad, and retired from the institution and left Living- ston and It Is understood that he is at present engaged in organizing a bank in Butte. In the complaint, it is complained that on Nov. 11 - 5. 1905, Mr. Dolenty drew from the First State Bank $75,000, which he deposited to the bank's credit in the Bank of Town- send, an institution owned and con- trolled by himself and brother, F. X. Dolenty, now of Idaho, and who some tame ago was connected with a bank at Kendall. On September 12 of last year, $16,0110 of the money was re- turned to the bank, but on a demand being made December 31. 1906, for the balance qt $59,000, payment was refused and the First State bank now sues to recover that amount. This is said to be the largest civil action ever instituted in Park county, arid the outcome will be watched with interest.

CARTER SCORES MR. HITCHCOCK _ the secretary might 'have stopped any ---- - day, were shown by the recordp to have been shamefully exaggerated. Roosevelt Not to Blame. \I realise that even the president of the United States has been alarm- ed by the secretary's oft -repeated and non -contradicted reports. The presi- litteretary of Interior, Who Is Soon dent has not been able to go through to Retire, Is Severely Cro- the records and into the details of 'sized. the interior department and its op - rations. Burdened with more work than any one of his predecessors has undertaken, the president must accept UNWARRANTED the statements of his subordinates as true. He cannot check and counter- check them all. He has relied on the reports of the secretary of the inter- im, as have the people generally out- side the states to which his accusa- tions apply. The president and all others misled by the crusade of mis- representation are clearly free from responsibility, except to hear the At 9:20 o'clock wetlee was given truth as told by the govermilent i1 'the and then to do justice to an Mer n - the edieries' - office' that the jury had agreed upon a verdict and the crowd of attorneys, newspaper men, friends of the Thompson family and the curious persons who had waited in the corridors of the court house were let into the court room. At 9:30 the prisoner was led in, closely guarded by deputies. His face was flushed and he appeared to be upon the verge of tears, but with the ex- ception of a slight twitching at the corners of his mouth he took the ver- dict without show of emotion. The attorneys for the state left the court room in a body immediately after the verdict was pronounced. The father of the boy and his asso- ciate counsel remained for some time shaking hands with the jury and re- ceiving congratulations. Maurice Thompson was presnt, but Oscar, the prisoner's younger brother, had been called to Seattle and was notified by wire. The boy was remanded to the custo- dy of the sheriff until further disposi- tion was made of him by the court. When he was led from the court room his face was impassive. Father Breaks Down. When the last words of his speech to the jury in defense of his son, Chester Thompson, were being spok- en, when the battle had been fought, when he had done all that mortal man could possibly do, when naught remained for him but to sit idly by, the indomitable, marvelous courage and staying qualities of Will H. Thompson gave way and he stood be- fore the jury a tired, worn out old man, the tears streaming down his cheeks, his feeble withered old hands outstretched in mute and sorrowful appeal. His speech had been made. For two days he had held the jury and epectators spellbound. He had fought the case in all its legal aspects, fought as never man fought before, with all the brain and cunning of an exper- ienced lawyer, with all the love and enthusiasm born of father love. As he was speaking he looked at the clock. The unpitying hands had flown by all too rapidly for him and now stood within a minute or two of 10 o'clock, there having been a night session and 10 o'clock being the time at which he was to say his last words. The look of misery which came in- to his face as he saw that he could do no more brought an audible gasp of pain from the body of spectators. The tierce pride of the Georgian, which , has enabled him - to face un- flinchingly attack after attack—the whip lash of the caustic tongue of Vance of Olympia, the cutting sneers of Miller of Seattle or the loud spok- en sarcasms of Mackintosh, the coun- ty prosecutor of King county—dropped from him at the last moment and he was nothing but a tottering old man, bowed with sorrow, scanning the faces - of the iffrors - If . trYing to rear in their stolid glances some ray of hope, some encouragement, a pathetic, sor- rowful old man, who spoke at random, who in the delerium of the situation compared his sorrows with those of the Master at Gethsemane in one Nreath and in the next pleaded foe his boy Chester, whom he 'remember- ed as a little child and the pattering of whose baby feet brought more glad- ness to his parent heart than the %dee of his other children. The nerves of steel had given way at last. All Moved to Tears. He stood there and tottered and the agony of his breaking heart came 01.1t in his voice and the tongue with its silvery magic, which has stirred the blood of hundreds in days gone by, stumbled and hesitated and trip- ped over the simplest sentences, awl the mighty brain failed, and in a burst of anguish he called out: \I have lost my Chester. I have lost my boy. My boy, my little boy! God Almighty, I have lost him!\ His aged body swayed in his in- tense emotion, his hands worked nerv- ously. He stood there before the jury, a pitiful figure, silent, cowed. For a full minute he stood there and peered into the faces of the jur- ors and when he spoke again he spoke In the voice of another man. \May God Almighty enable you to do your duty, and may He enable you to do it now.\ It was like a bene- diction. The next instant his hands dropped to his side, a sob broke from him and he half pitched toward his seat. Attorney Morris caught the falling form and put the old man in his seat. The weeping spectators held their breaths as the tragedy of old age was being worked out before their eyes. Tears were streaming down the cheeks of Judge Snell and the jurors, and the weeping sons of the old fighter took up their positions be- side' him. The bailiff gave three sol- emn raps with his gavel, announcing court was adjourned and attempted to go through the routine of calling that court was adjourned, but his voice broke in the middle. When the old man was being taken from the court room by his son Maurice he babbled like a child. He did not know the way and murmured to himself. HIS ORDERS The Montana Senator Makes a Great Address—Roosevelt Is Not to Blame. Washington, Feb. 4.—Severe criti- cism of Secretary Hitchcock was made in . the senate today by Senator Car- ter of Montana. The criticism was based on the order or the secretary of last December, which prohibits the issuance of a patent to land under any of the land laws until after ex- amination on the ground by a special agent. Senator Carter some time ago presented a resolution which denies the right of any executive officer to prevent the granting of a patent when the law under which it is claimed has been carried out. Mr. Carter began by asserting that the order referred to expressed the final estimate of the secretary as to the truth and veracity, the honor and Integrity and the good farth of all settlers on the public domain in the United States. \It likewise arraigns,\ he added, ' all other persons seeking title to pub- lic land under existing laws. \The order is without precedent in the history of the government. It is without parallel in the history of any government, save as aPplied to 'provinces, classes or individuals sus- pected of treasonable designs. It is the culmination of a policy unwar- ranted - in fact and founded only on baseless suspicion. The public rec- ords demonstrate that the order is not only needless but harsh, cruel and oppressive. Hitchcock's Disreputable Work. \For the last six years sensational reports of evil doings in the public land states have been emanating from the interior department from day to day, so sweeping in their scope as to create the impression In other sec- tions that the entire western popu- lation is, and has been, engaged in a veritable saturnalia of criminal con- epiracy, fraud and perjury over the whole broad surface of the public do- main. Since 1901 insidious inter- views and boisterous proclamations have passed from the interior depart- ment to the public press, reflecting on all those seeking title to public lands. The words 'grafters,\lared grabbers,' 'conspiraeors,\looters of the public domain,' and like terms have become a part of the vernacular of the secretary's office in referring to public land entrymen of all kinds The routine work of the land service has been pillaged in quest of items for punlication, reflecting on individ uals and communities. The slightest irregularity, savoring of scandal or 'possible sensation, has been diligent ly exploited before, during and after ilivestigation. Every one was indict- ed, and no acquittal was ever record- ed in these scandalous reports. The exploitation of evil reports has been a conspicuous feature of the present secretary's administration. \Fraud has been constantly and vo- ciferously shouted from the house tops. Every item or incident, color- able shy- attspielcus ap- I nearance, has been given wings. Or- dinar.v occurrences have been magni- fied into the semblance of great events. On the assumption that our eettlers are land thieves in the main, the most odious, repulsive and ex- asperating treatment has been met- ed out to them in numerous cases for the last six years. Residents of the public land states no longer enjoy the presumption of innocence, but rather face the presumption of guilt. They are charged with conspiracy to despoil their own states, to limit their future possibilities by oppressing themselves and with cheating their government in the interest of grasping speculators. No exceptions are made by the order of December 18. \Should some morbid, moral delin- quent pay nightly visits to the dens of vice and make morning calls at the police courts in all our splendid cities, and then announce to the world from day to day, with loud ac- claim, that crime .and moral leprosy overwhelmed you all, he wolfed, at his pitiable best, play in your field the part the secretary of the interior has been playing as regards the peo- ple of the public land states. \Unchecked by contradiction, em- boldened by non-resistance from the west and unmerited applause from other quarters, the secretary finally violated the legal rights and assailed the veracity and integrity of hun- dreds of entrymen on the public do- main by and through the brief or- ders complained of. \Excluding the timbered area of the northwest, the people of every locality in the country concerned well knew that, as to their locality, the oft -re- peated charges of the secretary were too unfounded to be in any way jus- tifiable, but they supposed, being in possession of the public records, that the official knew of flagrant violations of the law in other sections. If frauds were being perpetrated in the acquisition of public land, the settlers of every locality in the west desired them stopped and the perpetrators punished. As to their several neigh- borhoods, residents gereerally knew the charges were wrong, whereas all the people outside of the public laad states believed the charges were well founded, and, so believing, applauded the secretary as engaged in a right- eous crusade against crime. \The fact that every fraudulent transaction complained of was initiat- ed and consummated under the ad- ministration of the present secretary was not given publicity. Few have stopped to consider the slender basis of the charges made indiscriminately against 15,000,000 people, inhabiting 14 states and three territories. \Nothwithstanding the expenditure of an excessive amount of money by the secretary, the truth remains to be told that the percentage of frau- dulent public land entries for the last eight years, disclosed by investigation, bears about the same annual propor- tion to the whole number of entries as obtained during each of the pre- ceding 40 years. It remains to be shown by the records that the secre- tary has been less efficient during his term in challenging erroneous, improper or fraudulent land entries than were his four immediate prede- cessors. \Even the abuses under the so. called Umber and stone law, which MURDERER IS FOUND INSANE AGED FATHER'S PLEA SAVES SON IN A NOTED TACOMA CASE. outraged people. \In the name of justice, in behalf of more than 300,000 entrymen on the public domain, in the name of the families dependent on them and of their discredited neighbors who may be witnesses in their behalf, ag- gregating substantially 27,000,000 peo- Me * accused and injured, 1 ask for a ' bearing from the senate, from the president and the country, on the cold and silent facts as disclosed by the government records.\ Mr. Carter described in detail the workings of the homestead and other laud laws and gave court decisions in harmony with the contention of his resolution. He defended the charac- ter, for veracity and other honorable qualities, of the settlers on the pub- lic lands. \Honor he exclaimed, \is not con- fined to cabinets, nor do special agents at Washington monopolize that sentiment.\ \Measuring my words with care,\ he said, \I say that the order of the honorable secretary of December 18, last, is both unjust and oppressive, and that the records of the interior department do not furnish justifica- tion for the order; but on the con- trary, these records demonstrate that the order is not only unjustified, but clearly indefensible as to homestead settlers.\ Mr. Carter presented an analysis of the records of entries and patents issued under the various land laws, which he summed up by saying; \It will appear from a critical an- alysis of the figures and facts, that not to exceed one-half of 1 per cent of the final homestead entries, less than 1 per cent of the final desert land entries, less than one-half of 1 Per cent of the final timber and stone entries, and less than 1 per cent of the coal entries are found to be frau- dulent, and the percentage of min- eral entries tainted with fraud is small indeed. Taking the whole aggregate of acreage together and figuring out these averages, we find that less than one final entry of public land out of every 100 has been found in all the years to be subject to cancellation on • account of fraud, default or delinquen- cy of any kind. As to the homestead- ers, there is but one delinquent sub- stantially in every 300 final entry - men. \Suspected at every turn in the read of evil design, harassed by specialtg- eats and exasperWng requirements of the interior deOartment, it is not surprising that two honest homeseek- era left the Uniteef States to locate in Canada during the year 1906 to one that filed a homestead entry on the public domain of the United States. While we are pinching, sus- pecting and harassing our homestead settlers, the Canadian government, appreciating Vale—class- of.epeoule., as they were appreciated in this country in the days gone by, extends a cor- dial welcome to American homeseek- era entering the dominion. The Ca- nadian law requires only three years residence on a homestead, whereas our law requires five, and the order of the secretary will add from one to ten years more to the time limit fixed by our statute. Secretary Violates the Law. \As to all final entrymen on public land, the secretary of the interior violates the law by refusing to ex- ecute It. He has violated the law by Priding to it conditions oppressively extending time limits, thereby essen- tially changing its letter and intent. He has violated the spirit of the law by prescribing odious methods of pro- cedure, neither contemplated nor sanc- tioned by law. \His order would humiliate, anti if possible, degrade a very large and respectable body of worthy citizens by discrediting their sworn testimony and subjecting them to a system of espionage to emphasize the official discredit. And all this, be it known, Is to be done with no charge pending save the general indictment framed on the groundless suspicions of the secretary. \To the hand of Pharisees who Mee their claims to personal honesty and public merits on slandering their neighbors, it is useless to submit any question in the expectation of obtain- ing fair and impartial treatment. He who would establish his own reputa- tion for virtue by pointing to the al- leged lack of that quality in others ere long becomes the victim of a con- firmed habit of dissimulation. Sucti an individual will meet law and facts with opprobrious epithets and smother the logic of figures, beneath an ava- lanche of falsehood. From that class of persons the good people settling the west need expect neither justice, comfort, nor support, but only added insult to injury.\ $100 Reward, $100.
