Gold Xarsns Life.

Men are at present risking their lives
for gold. There is stampede of eager
willing martyrs to the inhospitable
county of the Klondyke. Many will
perish from cold and hunger. Not one
quarter of the people who go there will
ever return. Not one-half of those who
do return will return any richer than
they went. They will not only endan-
ger their health, but their lives, for the
sake of gold, And yet everybody says
that health is more precious than gold.
The thing which restores health is,
therefore. more precious than gold Pc
ru-n restores health, cures all forms of
weakness, all forms and stages of
catarrh, builds up broken down consti-
buttons, brings new life back to these
who have become prematurely old. The
latest and best book ever written on
the subject Of female diseases will be
sent free, to women only, for short
time. Address The Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Ohio.

Buried $4,000.

Dubuque. Iowa, September IL
Conrod May, defendant in a divorce
suit, confessed yesterday to the referee
appointed by the court to discover the
whereabouts of his property that he
buried two pots of gold valued at 49,,
600 on q farm in Wisconsin to escape an
execution for the temporary alimony
which the court had allowed his wife.
May was arrested some days ago on a
warrant charging that he was about to
leave this jurisdiction to escape pay
ment of the alimony. He was brought
before Judge O'Donnel today, and,
rather than remain in Jail for contempt
or reveal the exact hiding spot OF his
treasure, he proposed to dig up
enough to pay the alimony' The
proposition was accepted.
