Mr.. Isaac Brock. of McLennan county,
Tex, has attained the great age of Ill years,
having been born in 1888. He is an ardent
friend to Peruna and speaks of it in the
following terms:
During my long life I have known
great many remedies for coughs, colds, ca
tarrh and diarrhoea. had always supposed
these affections to be different diseases, but
l have learned from DR.. Hartman's books
that these affections are the same and are
properly called catarrh.
Gas for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Peruna,
I have found it to be the best, if not the
only reliable remedy for these affections.
"Peruna has been my standby for
many years, and ! attribute my GOOD
health and my extreme age 10 flsEs
remedy. II exactly nseofs al my
requirements.
az have come to rely upon it almost en-
tirely for the many little things for which l
need medicine. I believe it to be especially
valuable to old people," Issac Brock.
Catarrh is the greatest enemy of old age.

to live to hale and hearty old age. A free

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.
Driving of an Electric Motor 100
Miles from the Generator Ac-
compIished at Seattle.

The Snoqualmie Falls Power COM
pany of Seattle, Wash, has performed
a novel feat in the driving of an cleo
trio motor 1873 miles distant from the
generator. All the transmission lines
of the company were connected up in
one continuous circuit, commencing
at Snoqualmie Falls, running to Seat
tie back to the falls, then to Tacoma,
and back again to the falls. The reg
ular transmission is 80 miles to Sc
attic and Al miles to Tacoma
The tests were conducted for ex-
perimental purposes only, and to
show that electric transmission of
power can be made commercially
practical at much greater distances
than has heretofore been contem-
plated.

IN THE WINTER. Benson's Plaster is Pains Mastsr.)

For coughs and colds Benson's Porous Plasters are an incomparably better rem edy than any other-external or internal. Their medicinal properties enter the skin and 20 stroight to the seat cf the diseGse.
 They relieve and cure "seated" cold without disturbing the system or upsetting the stomach. Cough mixtures often nau- seate. Benson's Plasters are medicinal in the highest degree, and quickest to act:
 Placed on the chest or back or on both at once in serious cases, the good effect IS feltimmediately. The congestion yields, the cough abates and the breathing improves.
 Lung or bronchial affections or kidney disease, are cured with the least possible suffering and loss of time.
 Benson's Plasters are immeasurably su- perior to Belladonna, Strengthening, Gap sicum or any other combination in plaster form. They are also preferable to oint- ments, liniments and salves.
 Benson's Plasters have received J!tty.1t0e hsotest asoords over all competitors; and more than 5000 physicians and druggists have declared them to be one of the few trustworthy household remedies. For lle by all druggists, or we will prepay postage on any number ordered in the United States on receipt of 25c. each.
 Be sure you get the genuine. Accept nc imitation or substitute.

 James Costello, 37, died last Saturday. Nine years ago Costello was generally accused of being the cause of the noted barn burnings which terrorized the citi- zens of both Mansfield and Coventry. Within period of two years from twenty to thirty barns, mills and stores were burned. No officer or detective could fasten the guilt on Costello, and finally the people became so terrified that they dared not even accuse him of being the incendiary, even in private conversation. It was only after the matter had been vigorously investigated that the people of the terroized community became so aroused that the noted barn burning ceased. Costello was finally convicted of hog stealing with one Rowan. They were sent to state prison for term of years. Costello developed insanity, and he was confined in the Connecticut hospital for insane at Middletown. From that he es. caped last spring, and several months later he was captured in Hartford and re- turned to that institution, from which he was brought home not long since to die.
