ADIEU TO MOUNT McGREGOR.
After the Family Funeral on the
Mountain Top, the Body of
the Hero Given to the
Nations Charge.

Mt. MCGREGoR, n. Y, August 4-On
the mountain brow by the eastern look
out, a gun doomed sullenly at 4 o'clock
this morning. The shock of the rever
beratiOns was yet on the heavy air when
a second report shook the earth and
startled the birds in the trees. The ar
tillery had begun firing thireen guns to
mark the sunrise of Gen. Grants last
day upon the mountain. In quick sue
ceSsion and at short intervals the guns
were fired.
The rain bad stopped, but mist still
concealed the valley. The shoulder OF
day was pushing through. Diffused and
apparently sourceless light Was tinging
the heavy fogs.
The morning crept on to o'clock ,and
again the half hour gun doomed its sol
emn token of respect from the noun
tain side. Then steady breeze came up
from the direction of the Catskills and
famed openings in the lOwly-lying
clouds, and they began moving. Shreds
of gray vapor were torn from the lifting
fog by the tree tops and floated laZily
off toward the northeast. Distances
heightened to the visioD,a tree trunks
and tops were visible at the same time.
The college and hotel became so clear
that several artists for illustrated papers
were enabled to catch their outline.
The soldiers received orders to break
up camp, and in less than 90 minutes, all
the tents had disappeared from among
the trees and were packed away in box
es ready for shipment.
Notwithstanding the heavy and con-
tinuous rain of the night, the soldiers
slept well and were comfortable. They
had an abundant supply of dry straw to
place under their blankets, and, The tent
covers being water proof, they had little
nneasiness from the rain.
Down on the mountain side at 5 5:45
o'clock bugle rang out on the still air.
1t was the assembly call for trumpeters.
Fifteen minutes later the buglers of the
four companies of troops were sounding
the reveille, and, as the last strains
floated over the mountain, they were
swallowed up in the booming of the gun
that every balf hour throughout the day
will thus tell the valleys the significance
OF the day, and at sunset will close with
3S volieys. Then the soldiers in full
uniform stood at parade rest for roll call
down where the battery of guns is
planted, close by the path of General
Grants ride to the lookout.
At 7 o'clock the shock of the gun
awoke clear echoes over the mountain
and down the slopes. The puff of heavy
smoke from its noZzles fOated out into
the clear air. Down at the foot of the
mountain the edges Of the forests We're
visible. The day was coming in. The
heavy gray fegs walls were bro+
ken.
The family at the cottage were astir,
as the morning touched s o'clock, and
correspondents and guests were moving
at the hotel
The mountain train at 6 o'clock had
begun bringing up people, and every

THE New York Sun publishes dis
patch to the effect that the Prohibition
lists of Ohio never had so much money
at their command as now. There must
be considerable truth in this, for even
DIR. Leonard does not deny it. He was
recently asked by representative of the
Cincinnati Times-Star the direct guess
tion, has your State Executive Commit
tee any money? Instead of giving d
straightforward answer, the Doctor
shufied about and finally said they did
not need much money. This answer
failed to give satisfaction, and he then
said that each county committee is bear-
ing its own expenses, and therefore the
State committee had no great need of
money. Now all this was evasive. 1t
is a we'll known fact that most of the
Prohibitionists are poor, and therefore
the party must look elsewhere for its
corruption fund. 1t is easy TO under
stand that the money supply comes from
the Democratic party, and is raised by
contributions from those engaged In the
Iiauor traffic. Cleveland Leader.

Chronic Catarrh.

c. w. Mellier, of 400 South Fourth
street, St. Louis, is twenty years of age,
and has been. a sufferer from chronic
catarrh, which had become quite often
sive. When he came to DR.. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told it would take six
months to cure him. But he has pro-
gressed beyond all expectations, and
nearly all signs of the disease have dis
appeared. Before being treated he could
not breathe out of the nose, and now he
has perfect control of the nasal organ.
PERUNA did the business.
James Dunn, of 1910 Gay street, st.
Louis, has suffered from catarrh since
1870. The gentleman told the reporter
the following straightforward story of
his case. az took the disease in Mem
phis. 1t commenced in my head and
extended to my throat, and a bad cough
followed. / went to number of ply
sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said it was palpita-
ton of the heart that caused the cough.
For the last year have been practically
worthless. l could not ascend flight of
stairs without suffering from shortness of
breath and fast beating of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating l often coughed so hard that /
would throw up everything in my stom-
ach. could not walk any distance with
out painting. Five weeks ago 1 went
under the care of DIR. Hartman. and now
my cough has disappeared and feel like
a new man." PERUNA was his treat
ment.
Next came George Sauerbaum, residing
at 1929 Carr street, st. Louis, who is an
old patient of DIR. Hartman. He stated
that he had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh of the head and lungs, but
is now almost cured, his lungs being en-
tirely well and his head greatly improved.
The gratitude of this gentleman was
almost boundless, and he expressed it to
the reporter in the strongest terms, say
ing PERUNA will cure any disease"

MAN & Co., Columbus, o. have used
but one bottle of PERUNA between myself
and son. He had diptheretic sore throat,
and is now well. AS for myself, it has en-
tirely relieved the dullness in my head,
which has been of long standing-the re-
suit of chronic malaria. never took
