GOVERNOR t. G. FLETCHER

Hon. Thomas c. Fletcher, the noted
war Governor OF the State of Missouri,
is great friend Of Pe-runa. He
writes:
The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Column
bus, Ohio.
Condemnation years have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system,
and no one knows the torture and
misery l have passed through. My
doctor has prescribed various reme-
dies, and have never found any relief
until l was persuaded by a friend to
use DR.. Hartman's Pe-ru-na. After the
use Of one bottle l feel like a new
man. 1t also cured me Of dropping
had in my throat and built my sys-
TEN up generally. To those who are
suffering with catarrh | take pleasure
in recommending your great medicine.
Very respectfully.
thomas C. Fletcher.
Everything that affects the welfare
OF the people is a legitimate subject
OF comment to the real statesman.
The statesman is not n narrow man.
1t is the politician who is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as it is, and seeks, as far as is in his
power, to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh in its various forms IS rap
idly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know OF it's virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
feet. To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn OF cure is ca
tarrh.

A Remarkable VIII.

The outer uniformity about wills in
general both as to parchment and
penmanship, makes all the more note
worthy the last testament, now at
Somerset House, of the late Sir George
Parker, whose daughter has just died
at Falmouth. Sir George, who lost his
life at Cawnpore during the mutiny,
had only a tiny scrap of paper on
which to write his will, and when it
was made it was carried through the
lines by native, who concealed it in
his ear. Fragile as 1t is. it will doubt
loss outlast as curiosity at Somerset
House, and almost as a bit of national
history, many a bulky manuscript en-
scrolled on material prepared to defy
the decay of years.

WoMAN'S BASE INGRATITUDE.
She Stole the Poor Mans Fruit Into
the bargain.

She Stole the Poor Mans Fruit Into
the bargain.
1t was only pantomime as the
neighbors saw it. but it was easily
understood, and it represented a case
or the basest ingratitude and incon-
sistency on the woman's part, they
agreed, says the New York Times. 1t
was last Tuesday Afternoon, when the
clouds appeared to be suddenly con-
densed and were spilling themselves
upon the earth in a most uncomfort-
able and penetrating fashion. Notwith-
standing this, two fruit peddlers,
young men, not much more than boys,
were walking along the street calling
out their -bananas-which were
getting thorough drenchlng in the
wagon, which a melancholy horse was
drawing down the street after them.
A few people were at the windows OF
the different houses along the Ttreet,
wondering if the rain would ever cease,
and watching the peddlers with lazy
interest. Suddenly this became in
tensified, for one of the men did
the small bunch of fruit he had in
his hand and threw it swiftly into the
yard Of the house before which he was
passing. That was a very strang thing
to do. Was he crazy? No, for the
reason of the throw could be seen
when an enormous gray rat appeared
in view and ran lazily through the
fence into the next yard and disap-
peared. The animal had not been hit,
certainly, and why did not the man go
into the yard and pick up his bananas?
Instead Of this a woman came to the
basement door of the house, spoke to
the man, was apparently not salts
fed, came further out in the rain to
the gate, and there harangued him We
hemently. If she wished him to do
anything it was evident, from his at
titude, that he had no intention Of
complying. The woman looked anx-
iously up and down the street. Some
thing must be very wrong; she was
looking for a policeman. There was
none in sight, and she returned to the
house, while the young man jumped
HuTIleuly INTO the wagon ana the mel
ancholy looking horse took them quiet
ly out Of view. Not five minutes later
the woman appeared again, this time
in street dress, and, with a determined
look on her face, walked hurriedly
down the street. Then. as the curious
watchers were able to turn their at
tention to the house, they saw the
basement window open, a hand was
put out and the bunch Of bananas,
which had apparently been the cause
of the trouble, was taken inside. The
real trouble could be seen then, for
in the glass window pane was big
break; the bananas had not hit the
rat, but they had hit the window.
And that woman has gone to have
those poor men arrested" exclaimed
the woman across the street indignant
ly. IF big rat like that had come
within a half mile Of my house and
that man had tried to drive it away.
l should have had him brought in to
have hot cup of coffee and bought all
his bananas. l never thought that
woman was much, and now know it.
Stole the poor mans fruit, tool"

AFTER 20 YEARS.
A Lady ~ Grand Rapids Strikes the
Right Thing.


Many extraordinary cases of the
work OF the little conqueror are com
ing to light in Michigan. Hundreds
of them have been investigated by our
representative and each but gives added
strength to those which have gone be-
fore. Such well-deserved words of
praise and daily showered on this
modern wonder-worker from all parts
of the Union. Speaking of her exper-
fence a lady of Grand Rapids, Mrs.
Jno. Gardner, who resides at No. 800
Second Street, says:
For over 20 years / was bothered
with kidney trouble, and despite treat
ment by physicians and using almost
every remedy that came to my notice
/ received no permanent relief until
tried Doan's Kidney Pills No one eX-
ccpt those who have been through the
mill of kidney complaint can tell the
torture that one endures. The constant
pain across my back extending up the
right side, totally unable to lie on my
right side; the stiffness and numbness
of my limbs; the eXcruciating pain,
is something much more easy to think
about than to express. Many a time
my husband has had to rub my back to
get UP the circulation, before l was
able to get on my feet. My family pre-
vailed on me to try Doan's Kidney
Pills, but as had used dozens of other
remedies had very little hope of find
ing relief. They persisted in their adj
vice and in the fall of 1897 used three
boxes. / felt like a different person.
/ was in better health than had been
in years. The pain in my back left,
/ slept well at night, 1 could do my
housework as we'll as ever could, and
/ give the entire credit to Doan's Kid
ney Pills. L make this statement so
that other women who suffer as L
suffered my be in position to know
what to use if they wish to get rid of
that too prevalent disease, kidney
complaint"

fell over the edge OF the wharf, drag
ging with him the body of Gerard.
After desperate but vain attempts at
rescue, Nugent left the wharf, we'll
nigh demented by the horror of the
situation.
He had sufficient self-control, how
ever, to be silent as to what had oc-
CURED, and when the bodies of the two
men were found, far apart in the river,
no one connected the death of the
great financier with that OF the OBJ
scure clerk.
To the surprise of everybody Mr.. Ger
rard left far less wealth than had been
expected. though six months later his
heirs received large sum from an UNI
known source.
The Nugent companies are as pros
porous now as ever, and their promoter
is a baronet, but few men who know
him would care to change places with
the great Spectator, for, since the day
when his clerk was drowned, Nugent
has been an altered man. Those who
note his bowed head and brooding eyes
attribute this startling change to the
effect Of "A City Scare Ally Sloper.

STORY OFTWODEATHS

One dull November afternoon, John
Gerard, the well known financier, was
shown into the handsome private office
Of Nathaniel Nugent, the even better
known millionaire company promoter
Nugent rose with extended hand-a
bland smile appearing on his usually
impassive features, which remained
there till the clerk withdrew. Then 1t
disappeared with the swiftness of a
magic-lantern slide, leaving his face
rigid and CHASTITY.
Gerard, for Gods sake, don't tell
me you must have that money back
now!"
That's JUS. That have to tell you,
Nugent, and sorry / am to do it, but l
was hard hit over Kafiirs, and this new
scare has made matters worse than
ever"
Then I'm a ruined man."
There was dead silence in the office
for few moments. A look Of despair
crept over Nugent's face, and his guest
looked almost as i'll at ease. Suddenly
steps were heard on the stairs.
That's Lord Mount Dacre, one of
our directors. He half suspects some
thing already, and if he sees you here
he will guess at once what you have
come about"
What can l do? Is there another
way out?"
"No-but stay! Step into that cup
board. He won't be here many min
utes."
Hastily pushing Gerard into large
cupboard, Nugent locked the door, and
turned smilingly to greet another un-
welcome guest.
AS Lord Mount Dacre discussed the
business of the company in which they
were mutually concerned, his nearer
was on tenter hooks, for there was a
slight noise in the cupboard.
Dear me. didn't know you had an
other room adjoining. / hope we can
not be overheard"
'No, no, it's merely a cupboard,
said Nugent, and he got rid of his Wis
itor as quickly as possible, and then
went to set Gerard free.
The atmosphere of the cupboard
seemed unusually oppressive.
Come out-he's gone. Why, Ger
rard, where are your" demanded he, as
nothing stirred.
Then his hand touched another hand
which was cold and lifeless.

DECISION RENDERED.

William Crosbie, one of the leading
men of the local Painters Union, re-
ceived telegram yesterday announc-
ing an important decision by the higher
court in favor of what is known as the
Lafayette faction of the Painters of
America. The decision was given by
Judge Dewey. after hard-fought case
between the Lafayette faction and the
Baltimore contingent.
BY the terms of the decree of Judge
Dewey the report Of the master upon
the case is confirmed and It is further
ordered that a decree be prepared in
favor of the plaintiffs who are the La
fayette faction. Until this decree Is
prepared 1t will not be known exactly
how far this decision will go, but II is
assumed that the decree will carry with
it an injunction as prayed for in the
plaintiffs bill in equity, on which the
case Is brought.
In the original bill, it was asked that
an injunction might issue restraining
the Baltimore association and all its
members, agents, servants, from in
terfering with the members of the La
fayette association by visiting employ
ers of labor for the purpose Of procur-
ing the discharge Of any members of
the association, or from hindering, in
timidating, annoying or preventing any
concern from employing members of
the Lafayette faction, or from any and
ali acts that viii tend to hinder or i'm
pede members of this union from OBJ
tanning employment. The case will
probably go to the supreme court on
exceptions.
