ARE YOU GETTING DEAF?
The Following Explains Why, ana
Shows the Remedy.

Mr.. w. d. Stokes, Baton Rouge, La
writes: II had chronic catarrh very
badly, noise in the ears, and nearly
deaf. | used your Pe-ru-na according
to directions. and am now well; can
hear the tick OF watch ten feet.
Your Pe-ru-na is a wonderful medi-
cine"
Catarrhal deafness is always due
to catarrh of the throat passing up
through the eustachian tubes to the
middle ear. The catarrh in rare cases
originates in and remains confined to
the middle ear. The symptoms are:
Roaring, cracking, buzzing in ears,
with gradually increasing difficulty
in hearing. Ii not cured the hearing
will be entirely destroyed. When the
case has not already gone too far be-
fore the treatment is begun Pe-ru-na
will cure every case. 1t is only after
the catarrh has destroyed portions of
the middle ear that Pe-ru-na fails to
cure. All such cases should write to
DR.. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, for
further advice.
A book on la grippe, coughs, colds,
catarrh, ETC., will be sent free to any
address by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company of Columbus, Ohio.

A VETERANS VERDICT.
der, Correspondent and journal

Indiana contributed her thousands of brave
soldiers to the war, and no state bears bet
ter record in that respect than it does. In
literature it is rapidly acquiring an
enviable place. In war and literature
Solomon Jewell, well known as writer as
SOL" has won an honorable position. Dur
ing the late war he was member of Co. NJ,
Cd. N. Y. Cavalry and Of the 18th Indiana In
fantry Volunteers. Regarding an important
circumstance he writes as follows:
Several of us old veterans here are using
DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine, Heart Cure
and Nerve and Liver Pills. all of them giving
splendid satisfaction. In fact, we have never
used remedies that compare with them. OF
the Pills we must say they are the best com
bination of the qualities required in a prep
aration of their nature we have ever known.
We have none but words of praise for them.
They are the outgrowth of new principle in
medicine, and tone up the system NV woh de- !.

tiOns arrangements have been made
with number Of the ladies belong

be edited and exclusively conducted
by them on Saturday, May 10Th, and
all receipts for special write-ups and
local advertising will be by them So
licited and the receipts therefor will
be applied to special fund to be used
in furnishing the new church.
We propose to give the women a
chance, and at the same time afford
the readers of the FREE PRESS an OPP
portunity to peruse a paper conduct
ed in every department ksave the me-
chanical by Mankato ladies. That it
will be a hummer" goes without
saying. An editorial and fepor Uoffal
staff has been selected that stands as
guarantee that nothing of social
religious, political, sensational or miss
cellaneous character will be omitted.
Every item will be prepared by the
fair seX-the present staff having
been promised day off for fishing or
other pastime seldom enjoyed by those
engaged on a daily newspaper.
At meeting held on Saturday af-
ternoon, the following officers and
staff were selected, and these ladies
will be wholly responsible for the is
sue above indicated, the present man.

A RICH HAUL.
A Burglar Enters D.. F.. Brewers
House and Carries Off Jewelry,
Siiverware and Clothing.

The most successful burglary COM
mitted in this city in years took place
Thursdaysevening at residence OLD. F.
Brewer, in Mrs. Crosby's house. corner
of Second and Liberty streets. Mr..
and Mrs. Brewer were away, the
former at the Knights of Pythias lodge
and the latter spending the evening
with friends. Mrs. Crosby was in the
house alone, occupying her rooms, and
about nine o'clock heard someone in.
the part of the house occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Brewer. She heard cOnsid-
cradle noise, but there seemed to be
only one person, and she concluded
that Mr.. Brewer had returned, and
thought no more of it.
Mrs. Brewer returned home at 9:15
O'Clock and found the house in consid-
able disorder. Partly burned matches
were scattered about everywhere, and
the tracks Of a mans shoes were to be
seen outside of the house. An inves-
tigation proved that the house had
been thoroughly ranSacked and a
large amount of goods, aggregating
not less than $3.50 in value, had been
stolen. AS near as can be ascertained,
the following is list of the goods
stolen: a light summer suit OF cloth
ing, received from the tailor yester-
day: a Prince Albert coat; full suit
of clothing; revolver; a gold watch
and an emerald ring belonging to Mrs.
Brewer: a dozen solid silver spoons; a
solid silver tea set; a pair of gold
bracelets; all of the silver salt and
pepper shakers: table doylies.
The silverware and bracelets were
wedding presents and were valuable
and highly priced. All of the jewelry
and silverware, except the ring, are
marked ''Ina.n The burglar over
looked a pocket book placed in the
cupboard by Mrs. Brewer containing
about SIS.
The thief gained an entrance at the
back of the house, by prying open the
door of the wood house. There is
window opening from the kitchen in
to the wood house, and. the intruder
took stick of wood and demolished
the sash, and climbed in. 1t is
thought that the party is home tai
ent, as this is the third or fourth
burglary within a month, in that part
of the city.
Upon discovering his loss, Mr.. Brew
er,who returned shortly after his wife,
at once snotified the police, and an
outlook was kept for suspicious parties
He also telegraphed to the different
conductors along the Omaha road to
be on the lookout.
When the goods have been disposed
of, there may be some clue to the thief
but at the present time there is none.
The burglary was as bold as it was
successful, and was well planned The
intruder evidently made sure first that
no one was at home in that part of
the house, and it seems as though he
must have known of the fact of two
families living in the house. 1t is
likely that no effort will be spared to
bring the miscreant to Justice, if he
has not given this section wide
berth.

Through the Veins---In Spring Take
Paine's Celery Compound, the One Rem
edy That Cures.

utmost the medical research Of today
can do for the exhausted, badly-nour-
ished nerves and thin. impure blood.
1t goes straight to the causes of the
mischief in the many forms of disease
resulting from nervous debility and
insufficient or Initiated blood. A
thousand painful symptoms arise from
these two prime causes. Correct the
nerves and blood with Paines celery
compound and the entire system must
get well; diseases of particular parts
disappear, and strength and health by
day and sound, invigorating sleep by
night, return by an unfailing natural
process. Paine's celery compound
drives out diseases of the liver, heart,
and kidneys-by : sending pure, suf-
ficient blood, loaded with reconstruct
tive material, through these vital Or
gans, instead of a watery, impure fluid
that can neither nOurish nor inyigOr-
ate. Dyspepsia, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, heart disease, general nervous
debility, and loss of strength cannot
remain when the nerves and blood re-
ceive their daily reinforcement Of
rich, abundant nourishment from
Paine's celery compound.
Most diseases are signs of poverty
either of blood or nerves. Paine's
celery compound makes people well
because it feeds starved nerves and
blood and regulates their functions.
Try it and be convinced, as are thous-
ands of men and women and children
everywhere.

Everything is upward striving,
IT'S as easy now for the heart to
be true
As for fields to be green or skies
to be blue;
IT'S. the proper way of living.
All animate nature feels the touch
of spring. Nature has her great spring
cleaning days. The birds get new
plumage, the fish put on their fresh
glistening, scaly armor, new streams
of fresh water start from the ground
there are new buds and liyelier sap,
and in the human body the heart
throbs with fuller, stronger beats.
1t is a season of great changes.
At no time during the year is the
body so inclined to get rid of old, dis
eased conditions, tchronic sickness,
and deep-seated disorders Of the vital
organs.
1t is for these reasons that Paine's
celery compound, the most famous
nerve regulator and blood purifier in
the world, has acquired the name of
the great spring medicine.
There is not single village in the
country large enough to boast its regu-
lar physician or drug store where
Paine's celery compound is not being
more largely used this month than any
other remedy. 1t is known wherever
progress and enlightenment have
pushed the railroad or the newspaper.
