FREE CURES.
A Multitude of People Cured of
Chronic Catarrh by DIR. Hart,nan's
Free Home Treatment

If Pe-ru-na will cure a case Of
catarrh Of twenty years standing, it
surely ought to cure more recent cases
We receive many letters in which peo-
pie declare they have been cured OF
catarrh that has defied all treatment
anywhere from ten to thirty years
These people have no motive whatever
for writing these letters, except graft
tude. They receive no pay before or
after writing such a letter We offer
no reward for testimonials, nor do We
give any reward. Our testimonials are
far too numerous for publication, even
among those who would be perfectly
willing for us to do SO. The fact Is
that DR.. Hartman's free treatment is
curing thousands of people The fol-
lowing is specimen of the letters we
receive:
II. W. Hopkins, Ironton, Ohio, writes:
ALLOW me to say a word for Pe-ru-na.
For twenty years / was afflicted with
catarrh; at times / was so offensive
that my little children would COM
plain Of it. I tried patent medicines
of all kinds, also some of the best ply
sicians, but received no relief Finally.
after reading about Pe-ru-na, I con-
cluded to give it trial Like all others
l had no faith in it; but after taking
one bottle | was entirely relieved. Two
and half bottles gave me a perman,
ent cure. Inree years nave now passed
and no symptoms of any return. YOU
may use this as you desire for the
benefit of those suffering with this ter
rible disease"
An instructively illustrated, 64-page
book on catarrhal diseases will be sent
free to any address for short time
by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus Ohio The book
was recently written by Dr. Hartman
and is of great interest to people Who

EVANS RECORD.
Something About the Alleged Butte
Mining SWtndIer.

BUTTE. Mont, Dec 19-B c. w
Evans, who it is claimed is wanted in
Chicago, on charges Of swindling peo-
pie on wildcat mining stocks, is the
man who gave the local papers story
recently that he and nineteen relatives
here and in England had won a big
lawsuit involving an estate on which
now stands the greater portion of Lime
rick, Ireland. Evans said the estate was
worth 100000, 900, which would make
his share $4,000 600. His story was that
the estate had been given one of his
ancestors by a crown grant, but had
become involved in litigation, which
lasted for generations. Evans has been
in Butte for some years. He appears
in the directory as a mining broker
and incorporation of various mining
companies, with capital stock ranging
from half million to five million dol
lars. Nobody here ever took much
stock in his enterprises, so he worked
in the East, where he was not so well
known. Evans says his only connection
with the concern was as a broker in
disposing of the stock and drawing up
Incorporation papers.

FARMERS.

There will be held in Phoenix during
December, a meeting which will inter
est every farmer in the United States;
not because he may desire to profit
directly by its results, but he will de-
rive a knowledge of farming on frrigat-
ed land, and in that satisfy an interest
which every one feels, as to how his
neighbor is making money at a similar
business
The National Irrigation Congress this
year will be of more Importance and
draw together a greater number of men
prominent in irrigation matters than
any previous meeting. Much good will
no doubt result, and more vigorous
measures will be taken for local and
national government laws in the con-
troll of water that can be secured and
used in sections where irrigation is
necessary, thereby comforting increased
benefits to holders of land and at great
ly reduced rates.
Good fertile farm land. now so-called
desert, can be purchased in the Great
Salt River valley of Arizona at ex-
-ceedingly low prices, and with little
labor and at reasonable expenses per
acre for water now being supplied to
adjacent lands, can soon be made mar
velously productive. There are profit
able markets at nearby points for all
products. All living expenses are as
reasonable as in the east; the winters
are seldom severe enough to freeze
water This great valley is situated
in Central Arizona. Evidences of pre-
historic irrigation are plentiful, indicat-
ing that several thousand people here
successfully farmed and lived prosper
ously. The soil is exceedingly rich and
the climate equals Southern California;
the land and water rights are cheaper
and of greater extent

not playing Jack or Ten at the top of suit

the start of play the very irregular lead

bad end play by Hamilton at one table was

WHIST NOTES.


Word comes from the Puget Sound country
OF another short suit defeat. A whist match
between twenty picked men from Seattle and
a like number from Tacoma was played Dec.
Il. The Seattle players frequently led short
suits, while Tacoma said nothing and played
whist. The Tacoma team badly crippled
by the absence of such experts as Kershaw
Summerfeld, Ryder, Buell. and Roys. while
Seattle furnished its strongest players. The
result was a decisive victory for the Tacoma
players, who won the match by twenty-five
tricks.
The first game in the new Wednesday night
series at the st. Paul Chess and Whist club
brought out eight tables. Clark and Whit
man, and Buford and Galusha were tied for
high score.
Gordon trophy games during the week re-
suited follows: Briggs beat Zenzius, Bum
beat Ward and Gordon beat Fetter. The
games scheduled for tomorrow night are:
Briggs Gordon; Metealf VS.. Hay; Sargent
VS.. Zenzius; Erwin VS.. Ward; Fetter VS.. Bu-
ford; Bum has a bye.
