Some people use their energies in a way that wastes the greater part of them. Hurry, worry, irritation, vexa-! tion, determination, and foolish anx ! [ ietv keops them constantly wasting; precious vitality. This is foolishness ! People do not want irritation or stimulation. When anyone is tired he wants I I rest, not stimulants. When anyone's? | energies begin to flag recuperation, not irritation, is wanted. “All tired out,” some people say, “I need a stimulant.” A very mistaken idea. No doubt such a one is iu need of invigoration, recuperation, but not stimulants Stimulants draw upon the vigor which one already possesses: they produce no vigor. When one is tired out, nervous, weak and despondent. Pe-ru-na is what is needed in the system. Pe-ru-na invigorates, recuper ates. builds up, vitalizes, enriches, reinforces. Unlike so many other reme-! dies, it does not simply irritate and ! stimulate. Pe ru-na is an invigorator to nerve and blood. Send for a copy of Dr. Hartman’s latest book.

NEBRASKA FUBIONIBTS. Democrat, Wire. Republicans and Pop«ll»t» Nominate a State Ticket. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 3—As predicted at the start by the party leaders, the three parties—Democratic, Populist anti Silver Republican—joined hands in fusion, and the ticket placed in the field is: For Supreme Judge, John J. Sullivan, Democrat, Columbus. For State University Regents—E. Von Forell of Kearney, Populist, and George F. Kenowor of Wisner, Silver Republican. Many delegates maintain that the fusion was perfectly harmonious, while there are others who claim that there may yet be dissension on the Silver Republican side, asabout one-third of those delegates went home yesterday before fusion was effected. For a w hile in the convention it looked rather precarious for harmony, as the Silver Republicans had a very warm time, and a number of “middle-of-the-road” delegates talked in favor of the nomination of a straight ticket in order to preserve their organization. Finally it was announced that the Democrats and Silver Republicans had agreed upon John J. Sullivan for supreme judge and the agreement to fuse was finally reached and the rest of the proceedings were of short duration. AT COLUMBUS. • T. - Oue Hundred Thousand People Ggeet McKinley at the Fair Ground® 1 Columbus, 0., Sept. 4.—lt is variously estimated that between 75,000 and 100.000 were gathered on the state fajr grounds yesterday to greet President McKinley, but only a fraction of this number were able to hear the brief speech which he delivered. It was school children's day at the fair and thousands of littie folks were scattered through the crowd. President McKinley directed his remarks in part to them. Last evening a complimentary dinner was given by the state board of agriculture to President McKinley and a brief informal reception followed. The president left for Canton this morning. It turns out that extraordinary precautions were taken to care for the president on account of the mayor having received a note, unsigned, telling him to be on guard against a proposed assassination of McKinley because of the appointment of Mr. Powderly. COLORADO DEMOCRATS. In Convention They Decide Against Any More Fumlou. Denver, Sept. 7.—The Democrats of Colorado yesterday decided that hereafter there shall be no more fusion by that party with any other. After a heated session John A. Gordon of Las Animas county, a straight Democrat, was nominated for supreme court justice by the decisive vote of 233 to 167. A notable event was the announcement made on the floor of the convention by a Silver Republican that Judge Hayt, who was nominated on Friday by the Republicans at Denver and Silver Republicans at Glenwood, would not accept the Denver nomination because it would necessitate his indorsement of the St. Louis platform, whereas his sympathies were with that promulgated at Chicago. _____ NEW STEAMSHIP LINE. Kansas City to Have Direct Com num tea tion With South American Points. Kansas City, Sept. 3. —A steamship line from the gulf to the principal points of Central America and the West Indies is to be put into operation by the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad. Robert Gillham, general manager of that road, is now arranging for the steamers and within 30 or 60 days, it is said, the new line will be doing business. It is the intention, if possible, to bring business here that otherwise would go to eastern ports. The plan originated with President A. E. Stillwell of the road, and includes the establishment in Kansas City of a bureau of information where western merchants may find out about the tropical countries from which it is expected to secure trade. “I DID IT, DIDN’T I?” William Often Jumps From the Brooklyn Bridge. New York, Sept. 3.—William Orten jumped from the Brooklyn bridge and now lies in a critical condition at the Marine hospital. He rode on a truck going to Brooklyn and when the truck was near the center of the bridge Orten got off and quickly climbed upon the rail and jumped out into space. He turned over several times in his descent and struck the water on his right side. When he came to the surface the tug Gratitude fished him out. Orten was in an exhausted condition, and after a while said: “I did it, didn’t I?” Then he sank into a state of unconsciousness. Blockade to Be Rallied. Canea, Isle of Crete, Sept. 7. —The admirals in command of the fleets of the powers in Cretan waters have decided to raise the blockade of this island on Friday next, Sept. 10, the cause necessitating the blockade having disappeared and the insurgents having accepted the autonomous form of government.

Ark., Sept. 3.—John Church, a noted moonshiner, was captured in the mountains yesterday. He made a full confession and promised to aid in the capture of others implicated in the murder of Captain Taylor and party.

Portland, Ind., Sept. 7. —Trespassers forced their way into a church near Balbec, cut the pulnit Bible to pieces, tore the seats irom their fastenings and committed other damage.

CAPITAL OF OUR OWN KLONDIKE GOLD FIELDS IN BRITISH TERRITORY. PoiitmMter General Gathering Information Regarding Postal Saving* Banks. Domestic Export* — Shortage of Kustian Wheat—Presented Hla Credential*. WakHinWi-on, Sept. 4.—Mr. George Coffin, acting controller of the currency, in an interview yesterday said: “There is every evidence that the United States is accumulating a vast amount of capital of its own, and this goes to show that sooner or later, if it is not already so, this country will be financially independent of Great Britain or any other nation. “In spite of the enormous losses, depreciation in values, sustained by the United States during the past four years, the latest bank statistics show that there has been a very large accumulation of capital in this country, much of which is lying idle In bank awaiting favorable opportunity for investment. “The national banks of this country now hold about $160,000,000 over and above the sum required by law as a legal reserve. This same condition of affairs undoubtedly exists in the other banking institutions through the states of the Union. There has been a wonderful accumulation of capital in the savings banks. “One result of this enormous accumulation of capital will be lower rates of interest for the future. I’am sure that this will come, and myopinion is shared by many bankers throughout the country. Ido not believe that we will see again as high rates of interests as have prevailed in recent years.” KLONDIKE GOLD FIELDS. They Are In British Territory Says General Duftield. Washington, Sept. 3. —General Duffield, superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey, speaking of the Klondike gold fields, said: “It is true,” when shown a dispatch from Port Townsend quoting a deputy United States marshal as saying, in effect, that the United States would assert control over that section, "that the location of the line between the two countries has not yet been formally accepted, but the location has been very definitely determined. The 141st meridian was designated as the boundary between Russia and Great Britain, and nothing remained after our acceptance of that understanding but to locate the meridian. “The location was made on the north at Porcupine riyer by United States surveyors, and it the vicinity of the Yukon by the Canadians under Ogilvie and their work checked by our men. We found that where Ogilvie’s line crossed Forty-mile creek it was 15-100 of a second, or six feet and nine inches to far east, and when it crossed the Yukon it was 14 seconds or 618 feet too far west. Thus it may be seen that the line as located by Ogilvie is substantially correct. There is no possibility of an error, the correction of which would place the new gold region in American territory. At the neared point Dawson City is 50 miles on the Canadian side of the Ogilvie line.” POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. Poetmaster General Gathering Information Regarding Systems In Vogue. Washington, Sept. 3. — Postmaster General Gary has just received from the postmaster general of Canada a full explanation of the postal savings bank system in vogue there. He also has received letters in regard to the system from prominent men all over the country and farmers, especially as banking facilities for the latter are extremely limited. The postmaster general is gathering all the information possible regarding postal savings banks and it is believed in his annual report will call attention to the best features of the systems of the various countries having such banks and will recommend that congress authorize the establlsment of postal savings banks in the United States. Work of Ghouls. Beechburg. Ky., Sept. 4.—William Shanklin, a farmer, died this week and was buried in the local cemetery.

Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga., says that his daughter, Ida, inherited a severe case of Eczema, which the usual mercury and potash remedies failed to relieve.
