A Direct Method of Reform.

Some of Grafton's gambling
houses got shaking up this week,
not by the legal authorities, but by
a spunkey little woman whose re-
creant husband is in the habit of
spending his money in these holes
of iniquity. This husband, who is a
railroad man, after drawing his pay
for last month lost it all at the card
table. The desperate wife thus
robbed of her support and that of
her little ones, visited some of these
gambling rooms and threatened
them with prosecution. She was in
a measure rewarded for her plea for
her own, as one proprietor of gamb-
ling place returned the money her
husband had lost in his place. Let
other outraged wives follow this
woman's example.

DISGUISED GATARRH.
A Stealthy, Insidious. Weakening Enc.
my 10 Women

There are a multitude of women
especially housewives, and all othel
women obliged TO be on their feet
constantly, who are wretched beyond
description, simply because theil
strength and vitality is Slapped away
by catarrhal discharges from the pei.
vic organs. These women get up in
the morning tired, drag themselves
through their daily duties tired, only
to go to bed at night as tired as be-
fore.
Pe-ru-na is such a perfect specific
for each case that when patients have
once used it they can never be indu-
eed to quit 1t until they are perma-
nently cured. 1t begins TO relieve the
disagreeable symptoms at once. The
back ache cases, the trembling knees
are strengthened, the appetite re-
stored, digestion made perfect, the
dull headache is stopped, and the
weakening drains are gradually cured.
These results certainly follow a course
OF treatment with Pe-ru-na.
A valuable illustrated phamphlet Of
thirty-two pages, fully describing this
class of disorders, including coughs,
colds, la grippe, and all other climatic
diseases of winter, will be sent free TO
any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Company, of Column

A CROOKED BEGINNING.
Something Of the Early Career OF FL
kins Which his Organs have
Omitted.

The public never fails to be in
terested in "the start" which a ia
nous man had, when the founda-
tions were laid for latter day renown.
The general unanimity of Republi-
can press opinion would signify that
Stephen B. Elkins will be Senator
Camden's successor. But some way,
or other these journals are silent
upon the subject of their idol's
youth-no biographies of this great
buyer of commentator and fame,
not to say elections, are given in the
papers which so suddenly have
learned to love him.
The life of Mr.. Elkips has been
one great and continuous succession
of chicanery and tricks. Good, hon
est deals have been few with him.
OF his mature life the reading pub
lie is familiar, but of his start, the
same methods being strictly ad-
hered to ever since, the NEW DoMIN-
ION gives briefly the following lines.
He was an adventurer in search
of a fortune when he went to New
Mexico, and he had studied law and
been admitted to the bar. His first
strike was made in prosecuting Mex
leans who held slaves, the law pro
yiding the payment of $25 for each
indictment procured for this of'ense
Mr.. Elkins got many thousand such
indictments and the sum thus Sc
cured made the groundwork of his
now immense fortune.
He had been made United States
District Attorney prior to his virtu-
Gus onslaught on the Mexicans, and
with the fortune thus secured he en-
tered largely into land and mining
speculations, continuing in politics
as a member of the Territorial Leg.
islature and Delegate to Congress.
The Maxwell land grant was one
of his early deals. The Maxwell
land grant was an old Mexican con
eession that was valuable Just in
proportion to what it was held to
cover-a matter of much uncertain
ty. Elkins became associated with
the men who claimed to own it, and
busted himself in Congress to get
the claim confirmed by acts which
extended its boundaries as widely
as possible. The confirmation on
these terms being secured, the prop
erty was sold for many millions to
a syndicate of Dutch capitalists,
who supposed they were buying up
an undisputed property, but who
soon found that they had bought a
multitude of lawsuits instead. Then
arose the Maxwells themselves, who
contended that the sellers of the
property had never owned it in fact
But that made no difference to
Mr.. Elkins' profits. His connection
with the transaction had never been
of so well defined character as to
make him responsible at law or to
involve him as a party to any of the
suits.
After this began bis connection
with the star mail route contracts,
which made a scandal for him which
he could not shake off in after years,
but he was getting older then and
the present purpose is to but throw
little information on his initial
ventures, which his many personal
organs have so far kindly omitted.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseases portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intlamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be trken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars; free.
