The editor of The LEADER came
among the people of Lincoln cOun-
ty when a young man. His life
before them is an open book. He
has never had an ambition or as
piration regardless of their welfare.
He loves them and feels identified
with them as no other people on
earth, and he is of them and with
them hereafter, for veal or for woe.

A RECENT INTERVIEW
With Dr. Hartman, the Ren0wn-
ed Catarrh Specialist.


A newspaper contributor was
lately admitted INTO the extensive
suit of offices which constitute the
headquarters of DIR. Hartman, who
treats catarrh patients by the
thousand. Amid the busy swarm
of assistant doctors, clerks, steno-
graphers and book k-keepers, DIR
Hartman stopped long enough to
say few words:
"The number of catarrli patients
Who visit me is large, but the mum
Der who are entered on my books
as regular patients but are treated
without charge, by correspond
ence,) Is very much larger. Hun
dreds of letters are received and
answered free every day. a yet
greater multitude take my catarrh
remedy, Pe-ru-na, and are cured,
of whom 1 never hear. Some of
this latter class write me years
after their cure. / never allow a
name published except by the
written consent of the patient.
We make no charge at any time.
The medicine only is obtained by
each patient at his own drugstore.
Those desiring to become regular
patients have only to send address,
duration of disease and treatment
previously received, and directions
for first months treatment will be
sent at oEce."
"Only half the people have Ca
tarrh in some form or another.
And yet probably not a tenth OF
the people know that their disease
is catarrh. To distinguish catarrh
of various organs, it has been
named very differently. One per
son has dyspepeia /; another bron-
chittis; another Bright's Disease !;
another liver complaint. These
people would be very much sur
prised TO hear that they are all
suffering with chronic catarrh.
But it is so. nevertheless. Each
one of these troubles, and great
many more, are simply oatarrh-
that is, chronic inflammation of the
mucous lining OF which ever organ
is affected. Any internal remedy
that will cure catarrh in one lOca-
ton will cure it in any other loca-
ton. This is why Pe-lu-na has
become so justly famous in the
cure of catarrh wherever located.
It's cure remain. Pe-ru.na does
no. palliate; it cures"
A catarrh book is sent free by
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company. Columbus, Ohio. This
book contains GA pages of reading
matter and instructive illustra-
tiOnS.

The facts and circumstances of the
killing of Archie Addison, night tele-

special policeman of that town on
Christmas morning, by Meredith ard
Tom Case, of this county, aud the
threats Of mob violence and the cary
ing of the Cases from here to Jackson

are quite well-kuown to most of Tag
LEADERS readers. After remaining in
the custody of the Penitentiary author
tiles at Jackson two days, the prison
ers were brought back as far as Halle
borst by sheriff Thompson, of Copiah
aad deputy, aud there the HazIe-
hurst military company was ordered
out by the Governor to escort the
prisoners and sheriff from the depot
TO the Jail. r. N. Miller, attorney for
the State, a. c. McNair, attorney for
The. ..defen Sc, and sheriff Jesse Thomp-
son wired the Governor a protest
against THE second ordering out of the
military as unnecessary, and it
was then withdrawn. The preliminary
trial, which occupied all OF
Friday and Saturday, took place
before Justices Buckley and Russell.
A large number of witnesses were
examined on both sides, and The
trial resulted, as above stated, in the
prisoners being remaDded to the Co
piah Jail to await the action of the
Circuit Court of that county, which
meets in April.

Urging tho Strikers 10 March Amer they
Had Been Warmed by OfilesTs OF Law.
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 25.-Patriek Do
Ian, district president OF the United Mine
Workers OF America, was arrested in
Washington county this afternoon while
leading a body OF marchers past the
Allison mine of Cook & Sons, near Nc
Govern station.
Ever since the strike started the min-
ers have been making daily marches
from their camp 10 the mine. From the
mine to the railroad there Is a tram
way under which runs the public road
known as the Washington pike, This
morning, with q band at their head,
about 400 marchers tramped along the
pike and passed under the tramway. On
their return they were stopped by depu-
ty sherlffs and told that they could not
pass under the tramway, that they must
return 10 their camp by crossing a field
and coming down the railroad. The
marchers became enraged and for
time 1t looked as II there would be
trouble, The marchers had conference
and decided to remain where they were
anu communicates Nil4l ASSAhNAe Nv
Ian by telegraph.
Dolan arrived shortly after o'clock
and made a speech TO the strikers, He
said that the deputy sheriffs had no right
to stop them from marching in the pub
lie thoroughfare as long as their mission
was peaceful one and told them he
would lead the procession. The band,
with DOlan at its head and the marchers
following, started down the road to go
under the tramway and on to the camp.
Upon Dolan reaching the tramway he
was told by the deputy sherlffs that he
could 60 no further. when he wanted to
know the reason why. He was told that
such a move was q violation of the law
and the Injunction. This Dolan denied
and the arrest followed. He was taken
to Washington on the first train. The
marchers were disconnected and were al
lowed to go to their camp unmolested.
