CHRONIC CATARRH,
History of a Case That Needs No Com
ment.
What Has Been Done Can Be Done Again,

The efficacy of Pe-ru-na in the cure
chronic catarrh of long standing
can not be told in greater eloquence
or more convincing argument than by
simply making extracts from letters
received from grateful patients. The
following interesting extracts from
correspondence with Mr.. Peter Hat
tenberger Of Porterfield, Wis, tell
their own story:
PoRTERFIELD, Wis, Aug. l, 1880.
DIR. s. b. Hartman-Dear Sir:
have been suffering with chronic Ca
tarrh about nine years, and it has now
settled on my lungs and have all the
symptoms of consumption.
Aug. 10, 1890.
| have taken the Pe-ru-na now for
three weeks as you advised, and
feel a great deal better. The cough
has nearly left me and my appetite is
growing better every day, and my
sallow complexion is almost gone and
my skin is getting white. The Ca
tarrh in my head still troubles me so
much that | get almost crazy.
September II, 1880.

cough is gone and the catarrh is COM
mencing to leave my head and throat.

L am still following your advice,
and am getting along well.
February u, 1891.
l am still improving in every way.
The catarrh is leaving my head and
throat.
April 27, 1891.
/ am still using your medicine. My
health is improving right along, my
appetite is good, and L feel better
than | have in five or six years.
August %, 1891.
am rid of the catarrh now and feel
perfectly well and happy. You are at
liberty to publish my case for the
benefit Of others, and if there is any
one who has any doubt about your
medicine curing catarrh, let them
write me and l will be very glad to
answer them. God bless you and
yours. PETER HATTENBERGER,
Porterfield, Wis
1t is to Pe-ru-na that he owes his
life and health which he enjoys today,
ithout the shadow of doubt.
Thousands of similar cases are occur
ring every year. Pe-ru-na rarely
fails to cure any catarrhal affections
of the head, throat or lungs, from the
slightest cold to the most pronounced
type Of catarrhal consumption. Di-
rectiOns for use accompany each bot
tie.

of Pc ru-na in the various stages, va

BUILD FACTORIES.

The Manufacturers Record, com
menting on the advantages possessed
by the South for cotton manufactur.
ing as compared with New England
shows that the Southern mill can OBJ
tain the raw material for nearly Sc
less per bale. A southern mill con-
suming 5000 bales of cotton a year
would save $25, 900 on the cost of mate
rial. There would also be other adj
vantages, such as cheaper fuel and
lower taxes. 1t must be remembered
that the Northern mills prosper I'M
der all these disadvantages. How
much more would the Southern mills
prosper, having all the advantage on
their side! There is future before
this country as a manufacturing coun-
try. Let Austin inaugurate that
future. The STATESMAN would like
to see every town in the state build
ing factories; and it is especially
anxious to see factories planted in
Austin.

THE MILITIA IN READINESS,
Governor Hogg Orders the Belknaps to Pre-

Special to The Statesman.

Special TO The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. Capt.
Robert B. Green of the Belknap Rifles,
state militia, today received tele-
gram from Governor Hogg to hold his
men in readiness to go to Pearsall,
Frio county, when requested by
Sheriff Hardness. Alfred Y. Alice
who killed Editor w. c. Bowen of the
Cotulla Ledger on the International
and Great Northern railway some
months ago, has since been confined
in San Antonio. He will be taken to
Pearsali tomorrow to stand trial. The
case has caused intense feeling in Frio
county, and this feeling has inspired
the governors telegram. NO act of
overt violence has occurred, and it is
not thought that there will be any.
Placing the Belknaps in readiness is
merely a precautionary measure.

Dallas Has Another Fire.

Special to The Statesman
DALLAS, Nov. IA row of wooden
buildings of J. S. Taylor's, situated
near the cotton mills, was destroyed
by fire tonight; value $1,000. Hopkins

will cover the loss as most of his
effects were saved. The fire origi-
mated from lamp explosion.

Terrible Forest Fires,

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Nov. "A
forest fire about mile west of Vernon
has been burning since Thursday
morning and its path is about mile
wide. Clouds of smoke are seen from
the town rising from the forest. Sew
eral farmers have suffered already
great loss in the way Of fencing and
timber land, and there is much dan
ger to residences and barns. The
flames have been famed by a strong
wind and have got beyond all human
control. Another forest fire is report
ed in Coosa county spreading rapidly
toward the river, the fire burning
houses and barns on it's way. There
has been no rain in several months.

NOR La W.

The governors letter to the sheriff
of Cass county is in plain English, and
there is little danger Of any one mis-
understanding it. THE STATESMAN
agrees with the governor, that mob
rule is dangerous thing, but he is
rather imaginative in saying, Sin
these days of organized society their
fiendish work is without excuse"
Trials for murder have been common
enough in Texas, but punishments
for murder are in u very small mi
nority. "rhe laws delay,o the
changes Of venue, the mistrials, new
trials, appeals and reversions have
reduced such things almost to the
level of farce, and an expensive one.
It is not to be wondered at that the
people sometimes tire of the farce and
turn it into tragedy. True, mob
ocracy is dangerous, but when there
are less hair-splitting and senseless
evasions of justice in the execution Of
the law, the people will be only toe
willing to capture the guilty mar
and turn him over to the jailers, salts
fled that he will get exact and even
Justice. Large rewards in this par
ticular instance have been offered for
the apprehension of those composing
the mob that burned the Cass county
brute. When the criminally inclined
all over Texas are faced with the posi-
tive warning that if they commit a
crime the states treasury will be
opened in rewards for their apprehen-
sion, that they will be relentlessly
hunted down, fairly but justly tried,
and when convicted punished to the
full extent of the law, without hope
of reprieve or pardon, then will law
be more respected and an outraged
community will not feel it absolutely
essential that they take the punish
ment of crime in their own hands.
The STATESMAN is no apologist for
mob law-but the remedy for it lies
not in furnishing those engaged in it,
but in going deeper, in removing the
cause for it's exercise, in planting in
the peoples minds absolute assurance
that the laws will bestrictly enforced,
and that no guilty man, whatever his
name, station or wealth, will escape.
Do this and mob law will die natu-
lal death.

THE .S4NITARIUM.

THE STATESMAN very much Tears
orr citizens are not looking at the To-
cation of the Drummers' National
Sanitarium in the right light. When
asked TO come forward and offer To-
cation for it's site they should regard
the matter not as a charitable or PM
lanthropic gift but as strictly ousi-
ness proposition. There are mere
number of men who have large tracIs
of land they want to get on the mar
ket. Some of these tracts may De al Il
considerable distance out OF town, and
what can so advertise them as the To-
cation on one of them of this splendid
hotel? Naturally the Sanitarium Will
seek site up the river near the lake,
and the new dummy line of cars Will
afford ample transportation. Lo-
cate this Sanitarium on the Dor
der of that lake and now
much will it add to the value OF prop
erty all around it. Remember this Is
not mill or factory giving out smoke,
dirt and noise. 1t is essentially q
nucleus for residence settlement.
Ten or twenty acres given to such an
enterprise will be worth 100 per cent
increase in the value of the rest of the
property of the donor. This is strictly
a business venture, gentlemen. Think
over it in that light and state your
offer to the sanitarium committee.

BROOKLYN ASSIGNMENT.
Charles Schneider G. Co., Involved for a
Large Amount.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Charies
Schneider d Co., dealers in dry goods,
Brooklyn, made an assignment yes
terday to Charles H. Reilly, general
credit man of Fred Victor and Achelis
of this city. The firm is composed Of
Charles Schneider and Jonathan
Backer, who failed heavily three
months ago. Schneider & Co. give
several preferences; among them are
the Central National Bank for four
notes, amounting to $2O,70O, Endorsed
by Nj. Schneider d Bro, of Sherman,
Tex. The liabilities are said to be
$4,000, and nominal assets 100000,
the actual value Of the stock, possibly
being $4,000.
In regard to the cause of the assign
ment it was said that trade here
learned that they were involved by
A abraham Backer's failure, which was
not the case, their names being con-
founded with NJ. Schneider and
Brothers, of Sherman, Texas, who ap-
peared in A. Backer's schedule as
creditors for $4,000. The relation
ship existing between the firm and
Mr.. Backer, and the rumors in Cir
cuIation hurt them greatly and stop
ped their credit entirely. He thought,
however, that the firm would be able
to make fair settlement with the
creditors.

Woman is most beautiful when she
is most herself and least conscious of
it. This is well eXemplified in the
growing girl who, with hair loose and
graceful even when blown wildly
about, is utterly unconscious that it is
her chietest charm.
How often is this Inconsistencies
lost in later life, and however success
full young lady may be in arranging
false hair, no matter how well it
matches, it is difficult to overcome
that consciousness of things being

apparent.
There is absolutely no excuse for
any one depending upon artificial
hair when natures own restorative
powers can be at once aroused and
seconded by Louisiana Creole Hair

of the most distinguished women in
the country has said that it could
"save any woman from being wholly
ugly" for no woman is ugly who has
fine hair.

and at che same time combines a

the stimulus and nutrition required.
1t has no oil or grease or pomatum,

dressing yet devised, relieving the
hair of it's harshness and sottening
and regenerating the scalp. Ask your

An Experience of the Late CAPTAIN
Lee With the Ruler Of Corea. 49,.
Captain Lee, who died suddenly at
the Hoffman House in Philadelphia
the other day, was one of the most
intrepid of men. He once ordered the
king and cabinet of Corea off their
own parade ground because they tried
to dictate to him concerning the hand
ling of the native troops. Captain Lee
was employed by the Corean govern
nlent as military instructor of the
army four years ago, and he knew his
business in every phase. With two
other American officers, who were en-
ployed with him in similar capacities,
he had charge of the army and gave it
thorough instruction, elevating it be.

Humorous anecdotes of President
Lincoln are plentiful enough, but no
better illustration of his dry, though
pungent repartee has ever been given
than the one which the appearance in

istic interview which she had with

Fremont had command of something
like co. men in Missouri, an effort
was being made to place General
Frank Blair in command of half of
them. Mrs. Fremont hurried to
Washington to prevent the division of

Agricultural Maxlms,

Every farmer should keep an &C
count with his land and stock. ...
Midwinter is not the best time to
get ready for cold weather.
A 'forehanded'' farmer is one who
keeps ahead of his work.
Stinting the stock is stsaving at the
sp!got and wasting at the bung"
A farmers wife has rights that even
her husband is bound to respect.
Holes in the stable makes holes in the
pockets.
The Claw ofkindness' is a good one
to observe in making kline.
The cheapest stock is not always
the stock that costs the least.
Pure air, pure water, good food and
good care are the chief essentials in the
management Of stock.
Grunibling at fate never made a
farm pay. 1t is the man who thinks,
works and hopes who gets the most
out OF life.
A farmer who keeps his houeeyard
and barnyard in neat and thrifty
condition is pretty sure to look well
to his crops and cattle.
To keep boys on the farm give them
q share in the business. A son is
worth two hired men if his heart is in
the work
It is poor economy to try to culti-
vate more than can be cultivated WE'LL
or to keep more live stock than can
be thoroughly cared for. Winter is q
good time to plan for the summer.
1t takes a deal OF hard thinking to
make farming gay.

Tobacco and Its Curious Uses.

Colonel Knolly having made the
public conversant with the curious
fact that the Kimberley Kafirs smoke,
cigars with the lighted end in his
mouth, other travellers have come to
the front asserting that the practice
is Jar from uncommon at Panama
and in some regions in Central and
| South America and that women as
well as men enjoy the weed in this odd
manner. The sensation derived
therefrom is said to be by no means
unpleasant. In the Southern States
of America I have seen gentleman
eat q cigar from tip to butt, refraining,
of course from swallowing the weed.
Five and twenty years ago the hor-
rible practice known as "'snuff-dip-
ping had not died out in the South,
the stuff, or some tobacco leaves in
lieu thereof, being rubbed into the
gums with little stick OF hickory
terminating with a tiny ''sEab" Of
flax. never saw a female engaged in
'snuff dipping" but according to q
distinguished American authority tha
vice was formerly frequent, not only
among negro women and "mean white
trash" but among educated people of
both sexes. Everybody knows that
tobacco owes it's name to q blunder,
the early Spanish discoveries having
mistaken the term by which tho
Carbis designated their pipes for the
herb which they smoked therein. But
everybody does not know. I appre-
bend that the application OF the
lighted end of cigar to the skin was
once gravely recommended as REM
edy for neuralgia.-From the London
Truth.
