Naturally inpoint of power America has the advantage. If all the A merican guns were fired at once the weight of metal thrown would be about seventeen tons ; if the Spanish guns were let loose at the same time but sev¬ en tons of metal could be thrown PUBLISH MY LETTER So That XVomen May Know Where to Find Relief. Such is the request of Mrs. L. M. Haynes, Spriengfield, Mo (General delivery). A part of Mrs. Haynes’ letter reads as .fol¬ lows: “1 wrote to you in May, 1897; I was about to give it un, for 1 4? f’ff had the best i four doctors in the c i t y '■V and they - /A could not cure f/t me. My dis¬ ■€ /ft ease was fe¬ male weakness. I had been troubled writh it for five years . Four and a half bottles of Pe ru-na cured me. I hope all suf fering women will take Pe-ru-na I know it will cure others also I cannot praise Pe-ru-na e ~ nougb.” Bear in mind that female weakness is pelvis catarrh, to which wotnfin are peculiarly liable, and from which few are entirely exempt' Pe-ru-na cures catarrh wherever located. “Health aud Beauty,” a devoted to the phase of catarrh peculiar to women, will be sent freeto any woman by The ru-na Drug Mfg.

In such a contingency those who produce food, vegetable or animal would profit by the malignant condi¬ tion. At the same time facto j ries, except those which produce munitions of the devastation, would languish and those whose stock in trade is raw material, woufd feel like going to war themselves. A very pertinent question for the Southern far¬ mer to ask himself is what would be the result if a great European war should catch me with a big crop of cotton and very little of auything else on hand?

War is the last resort for the settlement of all questions in dispute between the different nations of the earth. Earnest effort should always be made to settle by peaceable means and differences that may arise, before referring the mat¬ ter to the arbitrament of the sword. With this view of the situa¬ tion in mind, the Star makes the following demands upon Spam for reparation and satis¬ faction for the loss of he bat¬ tleship Maine, in Havana har¬ bor, and the lives of the 2G8 of¬ ficers and men who were killed in the explosion • 1st.

A money indemnity of $25,000,000 to pay for the erty destroyed, and to pension the families of the men on board the ill fated vessel, double amount going to the faiu lies of those who were killed.
