Mr.. Isaac Brock, of McLennan coun-
ty. Tex, has attained the great age
of III years, having been born in
1888. He is an ardent friend to Pc
runa and speaks of it in the following
terms:
During my long life L have known
a great many remedies for coughs,
colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. l had
always supposed these affections to
be different diseases, but 1 have
learned from DR.. Hartman's books
that these affections are the same and
are properly called catarrh.
GAS for DIR. Hartman's remedy, Pc
runa, I have found it to be the best,
if not the only reliable remedy for
these affections.
..Pernna has been my standby
for nanyyears, and / attribute my
good health and my extreme age
to this remedy 1t exactly meets
all my requirements.
II have come to rely upon it almost
entirely for the many little things for
which 1 need medicine. l believe it to
be especially valuable to old people"

Her Representative Says That She Did Not
Run Away From Officers.
1T IS SAID SHE is LOOKING FOR A LOCATION
And Expected to Return in Short Time Some Pthy Points
From the Man Behind the Bar, Conducted By
the Much Wanted Witness.

Massillon, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Alice Will
liams, the states witness in the Hen
derson murder case who is alleged to
have left for unknown parts on account
of the trial, is aid to have left the city
for business reasons only and without
the knowledge that the murder trial
was to have been called Monday. The
News Democrat representative called
at Mrs. Williams place of business in
Summit street Monday evening. The
place was in charge of Ed. Fetzer, who
has been employed by Mrs. Williams
for several years. FetZer was up in
arms about the reports that Mrs. vii
liams had been spirited away or had
left of her own volition on account of
the trial.
"Such stories are absurd and / am
surprised that Prosecutor Day would
countenance Them" said Fetzer. "The
truth of the matter Is that Mrs. Will
liams went to Toledo Saturday for the
purpose of securing a location, If pos
sible, for a restaurant during the state
fair in that city. She said when she lef
that IL she failed to secure location II
Toledo she would probably go to som'
other point in the hope of finding {
place where business prospects wer'
better than they are here"
"Now that's the truth of this who'll
thing and can tell you that If knew
where could reach Mrs. Williams
would inform her of the treatment sh
is receiving in Canton. No one coul'
blame Mrs. Williams very much eve
IL she would try to escape being a wit
ness in this case. You will remembe
that it was Mrs. Williams who turne
up the gang that robbed the Blenders

case and it was Mrs. Williams who
first gave the tip which caused Hender-
sons arrest and landed him in the pen
itentiary. To say the least the great
credit of his capture and conviction
belonged to her yet when the reward Of
fered by the Bender brothers was de-
cided by the court, Mrs. Williams Sc
cuered a measly $6s and then had to
pay her lawyer, r. w. Day, $25 Of that.
So it would be no wonder If she did skip
out. But repeat she did not leave on
account of the trial and expect her
back here before very long and when
she does come there will be some hot
turning up of some of the high muck
a-mucks of Canton including some legal
lights. Mrs. Williams has tongue and
she will use it, tell you, when she gets
in that witness box
The Williams place is a small but neat
| saloon north of West Main street on
Summit. The saloon is in a one-story
annex built on the south side of two
story cottage. 1t was in this saloon
that Henderson and his pals divided the
! money stolen from the Bender broth.
/ ers who were cruelty beaten and rob
bed and for which Henderson was sen
fenced to the penitentiary for a term o.
eight years.
Immediately north of the saloon an(
connected Herewith is cozy sitting
room and it is in this room that Hen
derson is alleged to have related fact
concerning the Hartong murder. Fet
zer says he was not in the room at tn
time but was waiting on Mrs. Williams
Henderson and others. He said he car
ried beer to them on a tray but re
turned to the saloon each time afte
serving the beverage. He had hear
nothing but he limited that Mrs. WIN
liam had heard q great deal.

Dusinsss Fully Equal to That Of . Ger
responding Period Last Year.
Bradstreet's SAYS: Though some
measures OF business volume and value
make unfavorable comparison with q
year ago, and speculation is certainly
on q reduced scale in nearly all lines,
other registers of trade activity are still
vsiy favorable and it ia hard to resist
the conclusion that, with few notable
exceptions, the actual business OF the
country is as a rule fully equal to II
not slightly in excess Of the correspond
ing period of 1899. This, too, in the
case in spite OF the distinctly repressive
tendency exercised by the present pres
idential campaign.
Prices of staples as whole are firm,
after sustained advance for month
past, succeeding summer of quiet
steadiness, but unhealthiness OF the
short side in speculation has been
brought forcibly to the attention OF
dealers in number Of staples, notably
hog products and tlaxseed.
The event of the week in the iron
and steel trade has been the taking OF
$50, 900 tons of rails by the Pennsyl.
vsnia at $26 per ton, announced on
Friday. This action, which will
probably be followed by other COM
panies, disposes OF the steel rail puzzle
satisfactorily to the rail.makers, and
constitutes another element of strength
to the industry generally. Despite q
decrease of over 20 per cent in the cur.
rent pig iron production from four
months ago, furnace stocks are reported
increasing and prices are rather weak.

DISTRESS IN THE COAL FIELDS.


Wake Of the strike.
New York. Oct. ia special to
the World from Hazleton, Pa, says:
Want and ruin have followed in the
wake Of the strike in the anthracite
region. Families who lived in com
tort while the mines were in operation
now feel the pinch of privation, and
the bare necessities of existence seem
like Injuries; business men, upon
whom prosperity smiled, have been
brought to the verge of bankruptcy;
thriving towns have become stagnant,
casual travellers have forsaken tn en-,
and Newspaper correspondents and la
Dor leaders constitute the most import.
ant element in the floating population.
The strikers who had some little money
on hand for an emergency have cut
their living: expenses down to mini.
mum, buying nothing but food, and
little Of that. In many instances, they
are able to obtain some credit from 10.
cal dealers, but the bills cannot run
very high.
AS there WAS little coal to be hauled,
the coal railroads had to lay of the
crews of most of their coal trains.
There are actually in the enormous
yards at Mauch Chunck several hum
dred coal cars which, under normal
conditions, should be scattered on rail.
RAIDS from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
In many towns it is now impossible to
obtain coal for domestic use at any
price.
The stagnation of trade here IL, OF
course, felt by the manufacturers and
wholesalers of the Eastern cities, who
furnish the supplies, and as the mer.
chants can obtain no cash from their
customers, they must appeal to their
creditors for leniency. Appeals are
being made to the United Mineworkers'
organization for funds for the relief OF
the destitute strikers who can get no
credit.

STOPPED By MILITIA.
Marching Strikers Found the Road

DArFoU ny SObUlcTss
Lansford, Pa, Oct. 1S.-About
1000 men and 60 women and girls
marched IL miles. from the south side
of the Hazleton region. during the
night, for the Panther creek valley,
where they expected to close the 10
collieries Of the Lehigh Coal & Navi.
CATION Company, but just as the weary
marchers were nearing their destina-
ton this morning they were met on a
mountain road by three companies Of
infantry, and at the point of the bay.
onet were driven back four miles to
Tamaqua and dispersed.
Another crowd of 800 strikers from
the north side of Hazleton also march.
ed here and succeeded in closing the
company's No. colliery at Mosque.
honing, near Mauch Oh ink, before it
was scattered.
The presence of the soldiers was en-.
tirely unexpected and the strikers were
much crestfallen that they failed in
accomplishing the object of their long
march.
1t was probably the most exciting
morning that the Panther creek and
the Nesquehoning valleys have ever ex.
perienced. Strikers were scattered
over the various roads and companies
of soldiers were scurrying in all direc
tions. heading off the marching men.
For moment just after the two forces
met on the road in the darkness, it
looked as if clash would come, but
the good sense OF those who had charge
of the strikers prevented any conflict.
