THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
In Ohio Alive and Determined t
Lead the World.
Extract From a Lecture at the Surgical
Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, on Chronic
Catarrh, BY Dr. $. B. Hartman.

Catarrh is the continual scourge o!
christendom. 1t hovers ominously over
every city and neSties ;reacherously 10
every hamlet. 1t flies with vampire wings
from country to country and Casts n biack
shadow Of despair over all iands. Its
steaithy approach aud its lingering stay
makes it a dread to the physician aud \
pest 10 the patient. II changes tue merry
laugh of childhood to the wheezy breath
ing of Group. and the song of the biushing
maiden to the hollow cough of consump-
ton. In its withering grasp the rounded
form OF the fond wife and mother becomes
gaunt and spectral, aud the healthy flush
of manhood turns TO the satlow, haggard
yisage OF the invalid. Cough takes the
place OF conversation, speech gives way 10
splitting, the repuisive odors of chronic
catarrh poison the kiss of the fondest low
ers, and thickened embranes bedim sight,
lmptlr hearing and destroy taste Like
the piague.stricken Egyptians, a cry OF
distress has gone out from every house
hold. and the m!ldew of woe clings 10
every hearthstoue. Catarrh is some form,
catarrh III some stage, turks as an enemy
an the slightest cough or cold and finishes
its tendish work Ia heart disease and con-
sumption. No tissue. function or organ Of
the body escapes its ravages; muscles
wither, nerves shatter and secretionS dry
up under its blighting presence. So stub
born and difficult is the disease that to in.
vent remedy TO cure chronic catarrh has
been the ambition OF the greatest minds in
al! ages.
Is it, therefore, any wonder that the vast
multitude of people who have been cured
OF chronic catarrh by Peru Ia are so lavish
lie their praises OF this remedy: That the
discovery OF Pe-ru-na has made the cure OF
catarrh practical Certainty Is not only
the testimony OF the people, but many
medical men declare it to oe true.
As no drug store in this age OF the world
Is complete without Pe-ru-na. i. can be
obtained anywhere, with directions for use.

cure OF catarrh and all disease of winter

Ell RENO POLITICS

Ell RENO, o. T., Nov. 26-[Special] Ell
Reno is still fall of politics-fuil of aspir-
ants for federal positions. mixed up with
the election of city officers. The citizens
held convention composed of ten dele
gates from each ward. elected regardless of
politics, and nominated good ticket, with
DR.. McElrath. Republican, for may or;
Jack Stiilwell, Democrat, for judge. and
SO on, Republican and Democrat for the
alternate positions. immediately after
this convention a few of the disgruntied
croakers called another meeting and tried
to nominate another ticket, but up to this
date are unable to get any one to accept
the nominations. The McElrath ticket
will, in all probability, have no opposition.
The doctor is an aggressive man, and while
mayor OF kiowa, Kan. made things hum.
He Is the right man in the right place.
h! Reno has three candidates for United
States marshal-MitchelI, Schweiger and
Shelby. our exsherif, son OF Joe Shelby,
OF Missouri. Il is claimed by Snelby's
friends that he will have the solid south at
his back. Mitchell is trying in his quiet
way to secure position where, when the
proper time comes, he can make plunge
and swim off with the prize. Hon. Jacob
SchweIger, III the meantime, Is lining up
his followers In a manner which proves
him the gallant soldier his army friends
give him the credit of being
Notwithstanding the above, Ell Reno

KILLED BY DesPERADoEs.

ROME, Ga. Nov. 26-The little town Of
Plainviile, Ga, sixteen miles north OF this
city, is in a state OF excitement today over
a Serious shooting affray that took place
there last night. Sheriff McGinnis of
Gordon county, with IL posse of men, went
TO arrest Joseph Scott and William Nor
row, who are said to be implicated in a
bold robbery at Little Row several years
ago. IL was learned that the two men
were in a house together. When the
Sheriff and his posse approached the house
the men came out with revolyers and
opened fire on the sheriff and the posse.
Sheriff McGinnis was shot iu the
stomach aud died in short time. The
men who accompanied Sheriff McGinnis
returned the fire, and IA general fight
ensued, in which Scott was captured aud
one of the sheriff's deputies was shot.
Scott was taken at once to Calhoun for
saAekeeping, as there was no place a,
Plainville where he could be safely kept.
When the prisoner reached Calhoun II
large number of people had congreeated
around the Jail, and il was feared that he
would be lynched. He WAS placed in Jail,
however, without being molested. Ipfor-
nation received from Calhoun this after
noon stated that an immense crowd was
around the Jail and was making threats of
lynching Scott. Another report says that
the mob entered the jail and hanged Scott
and released a number OF prisoners.
