Alaska Gold

There is one thing worth more
yet than Alaska gold, and that is
health. 1t takes the best of
health to find Alaska gold, and
it takes the best of health to en-
Joy its use after it is found. There
is nothing a man would accept in
exchange for health. Without
health gold becomes as worthless
as paving blocks and diamonds
as useless as pebbles. Many an
invalid has found in Pe-ru-na
something more precious than
than gold-has found restored
health. Catarrh in some form
destroys more people than all
other diseases. No one can have
health and catarrh at the same
time. Pc-ru-na cures catarrh
wherever located: catarrh Of head,
throat, lungs, stomach, liver,
bowels, kidneys and pelvic organs.
Freedom from catarrh is the only
road to health. Neither klOn-
dyke gold nor Kimberly diamonds
can bring pleasure without health.
Pe-ru-na to the catarrh victim is
worth more than gold or precious
stones. Address The Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Co., Column
bus, Ohio, for free book.

People overlooked the lmpor-
tonce Of permanently beneficial
effects and were satisfied with
transient action; but now that it
is generally known that Syrup of
Figs will permanently overcome
habituSl constipation, well-in-
formed people will not buy other
AKA tives, which act for a time,
but finally injure the system.

WORKMEN DISCOVER REMAINS
OF AN UNKNOWN SUICIDE.
HAD BEEN DEAD FOR MONTHS.
Body is Discovered In An Ice House
Just North of the City and Was
So Decomposed That 1t Can
not Be Identified.

Workmea at the Simmons ice house
just north of the city made CHASTITY
find in shed on the east side of the
building this afternoon about 2 o'clock.
The find was the remains of a man who
from all evidences around him had
been dead for some days and perhaps
some weeks.
The body was already decomposed,
and when the building was opened a
horrible stencil greeted the nostrils of
the workmen. The man had evidently
committed suicide by hanging himself
with a handkerchief, for piece of such
an article was found hanging around
the rafter just above the place where
the body was found.
n The man was evidently of middle
age and his face was covered by a
black stubby growth of whiskers and
one of his legs had been cut off. He
had a black mustache. His clothes
were old and worn and seemed to
indicate that he was a laboring man.
AS soon as the terrible find was
made the coroner was notified
and jury summoned to view the re-
mains after which they were taken to
Hansen's undertaking parlors and will
be buried as soon as possible. Nothing
was found on the body which might
assist in identifying the suicide and as
the remains will be buried today
there is a strong probability that his
identity will never be known. Some
people have suggested that the re-
mains were those Of Tulley, the miss
ing sewing machine agent, but the fact
