Instance:
1t is said that once a chief captured a
missionary who was old and thin. and
looked as if his flesh would be tough
The missionary warned the chief that he
would not make a good dinner, and pull
ing uD his trousers, cut slice off the
calf of his leg and offered it to the chief
The chief tasted it, and passed it to a
silb-chief. The sub tasted it. made a
wry face, and passed it on. The next
man who took & bite of it sDat it out
The missionary was released After he
had gone it was discovered that he wore

Congressman BOLKln, OF WlnUolu, hauSdS
In recent letter to DR.. Hartman, Con-
gresham Botkin says:
MY Dear Doctor-It gives me pleasure to
certify to the excellent curative qualities OF
your NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Man-a-lin. L
have been afflicted more or less for quarter
of q century with catarrh Of the stomach
and constipation. A residence in Washing
ton has increased these troubles. few
bottles of your medicine have given me
almost complete relief, and | am sure that
a continuation of them will effect per-
manent cure. Pe-ru-na is surely a wonder
full remedy for catarrhal affections.
j. D. BOTKIN."
The most common form of summer catarrh
is catarrh of the stomach. This is generally
known as dyspepsia. Congressman Botkln
was victim of this disease twenty-five
years. Pe-ru-na cures these cases like magic.

The microbes that cause chills and
fever and malaria enter the system
through mucous membranes made
porous by catarrh. Pe-ru-na heals the
mucous membranes and prevents the
entrance of malarial germs, thus pre-
venting and curing these affections.

Net Profits se1O,

The dance and social given by the ladies of Skagwav in Firemln's hall last We'd nesday evening for the purpose of endow' Ing a woman'S ward in the Bishop Rowe hospital, proved even more successful financially than the ladies had anticipated. Unfo9unately the expenses were some what high, but even with all these paid of the net profit foots up the neat sum Of s77o. This handsome profit might have been greatly increased .hld some of the many parties bun,ing in bills contributed part of them to the cause. which was sufii- cientlv worthy for such action.
 The committee on finance, Mr. Dent, made up hIs figures yesterday and the aud ting committee, Dr. Moore, Dr. SsarI and Dr. Nisken, examined and verified the amount, the results being as already stated.

. SPLENDID SHOW.
To He Repeated In Firemen's HaII
 Tonight.

Skagwav people who have been literally hungerlng for some amusement of pro- fessional character were afforded a delight- fu treat in Fremen'S hall last evening, by the Boston Extravaganza Company, which may truthfully be said to have been the first legitimate professional entertainment ever witnessed In this town. lt was a high.elaSS vaudeville performance, with a ehaplet of talented artists SO clever and varied in their individual work as Co keep alive the interest from the first to the last a, in the program. The hall was packed and many could not gain admttance and were to that extent disappointed. Those fortunate enough to gain admttance were generous in their applause ant the repeated eneoreS of almost every number showed that the company had made | decided hit. This was undoubtedly true, and in view of the hearty reception given the company last evening, and for the benefit Of the many who tailed to gain aimttlnce last night, the man cement has decided to give another performance this evening, with an entire change of program.
 The artists in the company are so nu- merous and all so clever that it is difi:ult to say which is the best where they are all so good. Nellie Hillyer delighted the audience with a couple of ballads, "Loeks of Gold and Gray" and "Mv Old New Hampshire Hjme;" Paul Boriman created laughter with his negro lmpersonationS, and Hastings and Hall gave evidence Of splendid voices in duets that were heartily applaudel. The ever grIesome contor- tioniSt found l fascinating exponent in Bessie Pierte's Sinuous figure, Next the Pvne sisters charmed their hearers with their songs, "l Don't Want to Play in Your Yard" anI "rll Tip My Hat Co Nellie. ' lf it is in order to be at all partial, the hit of the evening may be said Co have been made by Blossom BorIman In her baby song, "My Busted Doll written express lv for her. Another one Of the many nov cities presented was ldl RoSsiter's skip ping rope dance This, however, was somewhat marnd by the limited stage room. There were others. but alI aclut- ted themselves in a mannesio cause many in the audience to say that they were sure to go again tonght.
 The stage will e elevated for tonight and other improvements introduced for the benefit of the audience.
 The orchestra lSo deserves mention foI itS excellent work and this was recognized by the manager, who took occasion at the close Of the show to thank Frank Clancy for it.
 Remember tonight's show and take it in.
