TWO CHICAGO SENATORS
Tell a Straight Story About Catarrh
and Pe-ru-na.

Chronic catarrb often makes its APP
proach in disguise. Before a person
knows II he may become o victim of
chronic catarrb. It's onset may be grad
ual, it's development insidious, and at
last the victim finds himself in the
clutches Of tenaciousdisease. A slight
cold, tendency to sneeze, pufiiness in
the nose and head, fuilness or cracking
in the ears, stringy mucus in the throat
slight cough or wheeziness, snoring dur
ing sleep-any one Of these symptoms
should be regarded as q warning.
What can be cured in the beginning In
week or two, by using Pe-ru-na, IL al
lowed TO become chronic, may require
months Of faithful treatment. You had
better take Pe-ru-na now, for by and by
you may be obliged to take it long
time in order to get well. Pe-ru-na is
the remedy for catarrh; almost every
body knows that by hearsay, and thous-
ands know it by blessed experience.
Two Senators from the great metrop-
oils, Chicago, have something to say in
regard TO Pe-ru-na;

The two in the house who voted for Ad-

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Some OF our Republican friends seem
to BE- desirous to secure again Republi.
can Board Of Educs,i IN for the Canton
union school district.
The last Republican school )srd was
such an utter failure, in all decent re.
speCts, that none of them were reelect-
ed. The fr,t tn ng they did was to dis.
place Professor J, J. Burns, by cd Is the
most scholarly and capable superinten-
dent we ever had.
The Displacement OF Professor Burns
was piece of pure ignorance and mar
row partisan bi lotr but the members
suited the party 20 we'll that they we're
re-nominated, though properly repu
dated by the voters OF the district.
We'll read, scholarly and competent
supe rintendents for public schools are
not rea lily picked up, and when one is
found he should be appreciated and
held on to. OR MassiIlon friends
rave shown good sense in this respect.
These words are not written to 7, feet
on any school man, or to institute
"oiorous parisons," but merely to
remind our citizens OF piece of school
history that should not be forgotten,
and should warn as against trusting
soon again a Republican Board Of Edu-
cation for the Canton school district.
Let honest thought and duty point the way,
Nor yield to narrow bigotry the sway;
May this reminder which we freely give,
Continue with us while we each shall live.

HE SAW EMBALMED BEEF.
Brought to Tampa--Armour
Employe said SO.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, March 20.--Tht
army beef court of inquiry concluded
the taking of testimony at Fort Leaven
worth and departed for Chicago, where
the sessions probably will be resumed
today. The only witness examined Sun
day was Sergeant Edward Mason, Troop
A, First United States cavalry, located
at Fort Robinson, Neb., who served as
regimental commissary sergeant al
Lakeland, Fla, and during the Cuban
campaign.
Sergeant Mason's testimony was
probably the most direct that has becn
adduced since the court left Chicago,
witness declaring that meat received at
Lakeland for use in his regiment was
undoubtedly chemically treated"
can agent of Armour & Co., he said
"told me at the time that this meat had
been treated with what was called pre-.
servine." Witness had refused to accept
the meat.
Sergeant Mason was interTpgated in
dividually by each member of the court
and could not be shaken in his testi.
mony.
Sergeant Mason failed to reach the
fort Saturday which made it necessary
to take Sunday testimony.

Of removing smallpox patients to tho
pesthouse under direction of State
Health Officer Blunt was begun. Aftu
ten had been removed the officers en-.
countered on East Matamoras street a
mob of several hundred Mexicans, who
menaced them. Marshal Joe Barthelow

down and severely bea'en and one Of
the rioters was wounded. About 2
shots were fred - dozen arrests wer
made and the mob dispersed.
The health officers resumed their
work; bul We're soon set upon by another
mob of 800 OF 600 MeXicans, many of
them armed. As they could not con
tend with this force the health officer
desisted and DR.. Blunt opened tele
graphic communication with Governor
Sayers. The war department tele.
graphed authority to use troops at Fort
Mcintosh. The Mexicans were much
excited and fight was probable when

Pe-ru-na is not O cure-all. Nothing of
the sort is claimed for it; indeed, there
is no such medicine. Pe-ru-na cures ca
tarrh wherever located in the body by
its specific action on the vasa-motor sys-
tenn of nerves. These nerves control
every blood vessel Of the body, regulat-
ing exactly the amount of blood which
is allowed to flow through them.
It is claimed for Pe-ru-na only that it
restores the efficient action of the vasa-
motor system of nerves. This is all IL
will do. This is all that we claim it will
do. But we insist that II IL is taken per
sistently and according TO directions that
it will do this. But In doing this what
@ vast multitude Of disorders is miti-
gated, not because Pe-ru-na is q cure-all,
but because so many maladies depend
upon single cause. Pe-ru-na is single
in its effect.
