Ex-Congressman A. T. Goodwin, from
Alabama, writes the following letter:

pany, Columbus, Ohio
Gentlemen-I have now used two bot
ties of Pe-ru-na, and am well man to-
day. l could feel the good effects of your
medicine before had used it week, after
suffering with catarrh for over year. Re-
spectfully, A. 7. Goodwin.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming a national curse. An undoubted
remedy has been discovered by DR.. Hart
man. This remedy has been thoroughly
tested during the past forty years. Prom
inent men have come to know of its virtues,
and are making public utterances on the
subject. To save the country we must save
the people. To save the people we must pro-
tect them from disease. The disease that
is at once the most prevalent and stubborn
of cure is catarrh. Public men of all parties,
recognize in Pe-ru-na national catarrh rem
edy of unequaled merit. Send to DR.. Hart
man, Columbus, Ohlo, for q free book On

These Graves Are Neglected.

Havana, Feb. Less than year
ago more than $50 brave American
sailors came to their death in Havana
harbor. To-day 22t of these heroes of
the Maine lie in Spanish cemetery
with their graves unmarked. A great
government is neglecting to honor its
dead. The little plot of ground where
these men are turning to dust has no
monument to designate the burying
place of American sailors, and no flag
to indicate that the dead patriots ever
served under the banner of freedom
and liberty!

A NUMBER of prominent eIergymen
of New York have joined in the call
for state conference on religion. 1t
is not the notion of the initiators to
display the peculiarities of their re-

sects represented into one. But the
call is predicated on the assumption
that there are some features of religion
which are common to all denomina-

peculiarly sad circumstances.
1t appears that he had been In
good spirits all day Saturday, return
ing home about 10 o'clock that night
and retiring with his family as usual.
About 8 o'clock Sunday morning
Mrs. SafIell awoke and feeling cold
and chilly. Mr.. Saffell arose and
pIaced a cover over her. He then
walked to the window, and, taking
up a revolver fired shot.
His father called to know what he
was shooting at, when his wife
answered that she supposed he was
shooting at IA dog out in the yard.
In few seconds another shot rang
out, aud his father ran into the room
to find that his son had shot himself
sauarely through the heart and was
lying on the floor dead.
1t is supposed that the young mans
mind was unbalanced and that he
was not at himself when he COM
mitted the rash act.
1t appears also that he must have
placed his left hand over his heart,
resting the weapon on his left fore
finger, when he fired the fatal shot,
as the left hand was powder burned
and his night shirt scorched by the
cartridge.
An inquest was held and the jury
returned verdict that death was
caused from "a pistol shot fired by
Mr.. Satiell while laboring under
temporary insanity from the ex-
cessive use of cigarettes.

Little Bit Off.

In our notice of the outing to be
enjoyed by the "Kingfsher Club"
we were led into unintentiOnal error.
1t seems that the organization Is a
separate and distinct one from the
"Kingfsher Club" and is known as
the "Frankfort Fishing Club" being
composed of the local members OF the
old club and a lot of new men.
The club will leave on Monday
morning over the Frankfort q Gin
cinnati Railway, by way of Cincin-
natl and Chicago, and will go from
that point to "Court GRIZZLIES" Lake,
in Northwest Wisconsin.
This lake is near the Indian Reser-
walton, and it is said but one white
man is seen in that section, and he is
the Indian Agent.
The gang that are going is COM
posed of the following gentlemen'

II. Noble Lindsey, John w. Milan,
