RYAN'S FIGHT CONTINUED.
Petition Filed in the Supreme
Court OF Appeals.

Petition Filed in the Supreme
Court OF Appeals.
Richmond, Va, Jan. 4-Thomas F.
Ryan of New York filed petition in the
Supreme Court of Appeals here to-day
for a writ of mandamus to compel w. w.
Chamberlain, secretary, and John II.
Sharp, treasurer Of the Seaboard and Roa-
noke Railroad Company, TO allow him or
his agents to inspect the books of the
company.
At the same time Chamberlain and
Sharp, through William A. Fisher, Balti-
more and G.. HattOn of Portsmouth,
their counsel filed their answer.
The papers in the case are very bulky.
Rvan's petition recites that he owns 1000
shares of stock, and at great length tells
of the affairs of the company. This is an
old fight Ryan and his associates have
for long time been seeking to acquire
control of the Seaboard Air Line. They
have been fighting in the federal courts,
and have certain causes pending there
now.
The Court of Appeals will not render its
decision for some time, and it will require
much time to examine the papers.

CABLE COMPANIES CLAIMS.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT PUzzTEO
OVER A NEW FEATURE.

Wnnt Pay for the business They Lost
While the Wires Were interrupted
as Result of the War-No Prece-
dent for Such CIaims-A Case in
chill Citcd-The Manila Cable Was
Used as Weapon by the Spanish,
Garrison.
Washington. Jan. 4.-Another disagree
able consequence of the late war has been
the presentation to the government of
claims OF cable companies for damages
sustained through the suspension of their
business by the United States military and
naval forces
What the aggregate amount of these
claims VIII be cannot be foretold. The
companies in each case base their claims
upon the number OF days of interruption
to business, estimating the loss each day
by the records of business transacted in
corresponding periods in former years.
The state department is puzzled in deal
ing with these claims. There is no exact
precedent for them, and 1t is realized we
must make some more International law
to meet the case. The companies believe
they nave precedent for their demands in
the attitude assumed by the United States
IN the claim of the Central and South
American Telegraph Company, whose ca
bles we're cut off the coast of Chile by the
congressional party which succeeded in
overthrowing the Balmaceda party in
Chile. The Chilean claims commission
allowed the cable company about one
fourth of its claim.
The principal argument against the
allowance OF the claims in the pending
cases Is based upon denial that they are
parallel with the South American case II
is also asserted that at Manila, for in
stance, the cable was being used as a
weapon by the Spanish garrison, and that
the United States was justified in de-
slrnving This Weanon.

States, Striking Down It's Victims
Everywhere.
HIGH AND low, RICH And POOR, GREAT AND SNAIL,
ARE FALLING, one BY one.
The Greatest
ScOurge of the Century Is
Feared.

La Grippe has always been a peculiarly
fatal disease. Its ravages are not so alarm
ing as diphtheria, or so much dreaded as
smallpox, but its number of victims Is
greater than either.
Silently insiduously-it gathers in It's
fearful harvest of precious lives. 1t does
not spread from man to man like a con-
tagious disease, nor does it be.ong to linn
tied localities like malaria. 1t is in the
air everywhere. 1t is of climatic origin
No man can escape from it, no woman is
safe from it.
La grippe is epidemic catarrh. La
grippe is acute catarrh excited by peculiar
climatic conditions. 1t sweeps across a
continent in single week, like the biz
zard of winter or the hot wave of summer
1t does not depopulate whole villages like
the black plague, nor desolate home like
malignant dphtheria, but it counts its
single victims mere and there necessarily,
night and day week after week.
La grippe is acute epidemic catarrh
Our climate at ali times, especially in win
ter, exctes numerous cases of acute ca
tarrh Just now the climatic conditions
are such that very few escape. IL as cali
ed by the French name, la grippe, but in
plain English it is catarrh-acute catarrh.
The last two weeks many hundreds have
died of it, In the coming four weeks
many thousands more viii die
Unlike the hot wave, we cannot flee
from la grippe by going TO the mountains.
Unlike the winter blizzard, we cannot es-
cape from la grippe by going to Southern
Chimes
As to the nature of la grippe, authorities
differ. Even now the New York Board of
Health is declaring it to be a contagious
disease, while other men of equal author
ity do not regard it as such. And what
is worse vet doctors do not agree as 10
the remedies for la grippe. No school of
medicine or set of doctors have reached
any definite conclusions as to what rem
edy or remedies will either cure or prevent
la grippe. One doctor says this and an
other says that, and in the meantime the
people are dying all around us.
Since 1850 DR.. Hartman has passed
through four or five epidemics of la
grippe During all this time he has con-

Lead to an Arrest

Developments in the Kent Case
Lead to an Arrest
Springfield, Ill, Jan. 4.-Developments
since the finding of the body of Mrs Lu-
cretia Kent at her room Sunday night.
have led to the suspicion that the woman
was murdered and John Fuchs, said to
have been her paramour, is locked up in
jail, pending an investigation by the Off
GERS.
Mr. Kent's body was found last Satur-
day night at her home in the fashionable
residence district of Springfield. The wo-
mans right hand had been caught be-
meath the springs of a folding bed, and
there she had been held a prisoner until
she starved to death. An examination of
the body resulted in the finding of marks
on the throat to indicate that Mrs. Kent
had been ~choked. Others bruises were
also found
1t is the theory of the police that Fuchs
and the woman quarrelled; that the man
struck her; that the folding bed was
pulled down in the scufflng and pinioned
the woman's arms; that in rage Fuchs
left the house without releasing her, and
that she slowly died from hunger.
Fuchs and Mrs. Kent are said to have
quarreled frequently.

Quoted an extensive practice of medicine.
Few Of any physicians prescribe for SO
many patients His experience i'm eli
matte diseases has been simply prodlgious.
Thousands of patients are continually I'M
der his direction, either personally or by
correspondence. The doctors fame in
treating la grippe is known from the AT
lattic to the Pacific. The doctor believes
that he has never yet lost a case Of la
grippe, and is enthusiastic in the convic-
ton that he never viii.
The remedy upon which the doctor has
relied for the cure of la grippe for over
forty years IS Pe-ru-na. Pe-ru-na is a
scientific catarrh specific. 1t cures ca
tarrh, whether acute or chronic. La
grippe is simply acute catarrh, which
sometimes RACES as an epidemic. Almost
everybody knows that Pe-ru-na viii cure
acute catarrh. But not many know that
la grippe is simply acute catarrh If they
did they would use Pe-ru-na with the
same surety of a cure as in any other
case of acute catarrh.
But the people are quick TO learn. AL
ready the news is rapidly spreading that
Pe-ru-na is a prompt and unfaiing rem
edy for la grippe. The demand for Peru

The present epidemic of la grippe will In
creases this demand fourfold. The re-
sources for the manufacture of Pe-ru-na
are not unlimited. This extraordinary de
mand may exceed the possible supply
of it.
Every person, especially every family,
should provide themselves at once with a
supply of this we'll tested remedy for la
grippe Pe-ru-na has been the regular
prescription of DR.. Hartman for over forty
years. 1t has become the safeguard of
thousands of households In the midst of
this epidemic no one should fail to take
a dose of Pe-ru-na before each meal to
guard against the possibility of an attack.
Those stricken with the disease should be-
gin with teaspoonful doses of Pe-ru-na
every hour, and continue until the acute
symptoms subside, after which two tea
spoonfuls before meals and between meals
will be sufficient to continue the treat
ment until complete recovery.
