HOW A PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL
ESCAPED DREADED C0NSUMPT ton.
Peruna Used in Time Saved Her Life.
All'S Well That Ends Well.

It is the same old story of exposure to
cold. The cold passing down the bronchial
tubes to the lungs; the developing of a set
tied cold on the lungs, coughing, expectora-
ton. This is a short road to consumption.
Thousands of people have travelled it. Thou
sands more will travel it and the coming
winter will develop an untold multitude OF
new cases.
In the case Of Helen Murphy, the ending
was a happy one. She started on the road
to consumption after catching cold at a re-
ception. Instead of waiting until she be-
came incurable, Peruna was r~esorted to and
her life was saved.
1t is a pity that everyone else in this wide
land could not know of this very effective
remedy in such cases. TIL news is spread
ing fast but a great many people have not
yet heard that Peruna is a sure cure in these
cases.
Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic
catarrh; catarrh of the head and catarrh Of
the lungs; catarrh Of the throat and catarrh
of the stomach. Wherever catarrh may
| have located itself, whether in the digestive
organs, kidneys or pelvic organs, Peruna is
sure to eradicate the disease promptly.
Another case where consumption was
cheated of it's prey occurred in the state of
iowa. Inc report OF the case credltu CON
siderable attention at the time and was fur
nished us unsolicited by Mr.. Henrickson.
In a letter to DR.. Hartman he sets forth
some interesting details OF his rescue from
consumption. He made use of the following
language:
81 have been for years a constant sufferer
from chronic catarrh of the head and
throat, which finally worked down into the
air passages. In the spring OF '9S l took a
severe cold and coughed all summer
thought l had consumption. Then ! had a
bad attack of la grippe. After taking .
course of Peruna l feel cured of all these
troubles.
"Wheneveran of our children get sick We
give them Peruna,' and it never fails to cure
them. l most heartily testify to the value
of Peruna in cases of catarrh and la grippe
| hope this may be the means of others SUI
fering as | did to take Peruna and be cured
We would not be without it in the house.
Henry Henrickson.
Generally the first cold Of the season i
!, caught in November. With some peopl,
this lasts all winter and lays the foundation
. of chronic catarrh. In the beginning a few
:. doses of Peruna is sufficient to make a per
manent cure.

chronic catarrh. Address the Peruna Med

uorror Mt Pekin Following h
Assassination Of the German Min-
,.ter and E~xpresse sorrow at the
A.sas.ination of King Humbert.

Berlin. Nov. 1.-THE %reichstag Eas
reassembled. The speech from the
throne dwelt at considerable length
an the events in China, which nave
excited such deep emotion among CIV
ilized people, saying:
The Misguided Chinese.
.sFanatical hate and dark supersti'
ton. melted by INSCRIPTIONS advis-
crs of the court, have driven misguid'
cd masses of Chinese to acts of atroci.
Nv apiust the outposts of western civ

The Won Ketteler Association.
.Mv minister died at the hand OF
an assassin, in a courageous attempt
to overcome the rising peril. The for
eipners at the capital saw themselves
threatened, life and limb. These
things of horror united the civilized
community where, otherwise, there
was n divergence. All nations, against
which the unparalleled onslaught was
directed, drew closer. Their som
fought with one mind, shoulder tc
shoulder, even as yonder standards
float side by side.
The Governments United.
So the governments show them
selves in council, united with the sole
wish to restore an orderly state OF
things as speedily as possible, and, af'
ter the punishment of the chief cul-
prits, avert a recurrence in the flu
x.,,l l;ptu-1n nm IF fhn naape

Relations with All Powers Good.
In announcing that the relations oil
Germany with all the powers art
good. the speech recalls his majesty's
sorrow al the assassination of Kins
Humbert of Italy. saying he was my
ally and dear friend, who fell a victim
to a damnable outrage"
The speech then proceeds:
Necessity for Prompt Action.
81 would sooner have consulted thu
reichstag on the measures on China
but for the necessity of prompt &C
ton, and the difficulty of furnishing
reliable information. Whenever tn
reichstag could form decision or es
innate the expenditure required, tn
government felt confident that tn
representatives would not refuse thei
subsequent sanction to the necessar,
expenditure"
Domestic Matters.
Turning to domestic matters hi
majesty said that in consequence o
the natural growth of the revenue
and the increased taxation voted las
session, more abundant funds wer
available in almost every branch Q
life in the empire, especially for meas
ures for the benefit of workers, an
for the defnse of the country. A GU:
tens tariff, ne added, would probabl
be laid before the bundesrath durin
the present session.
The speech concluded by announ
ing various bill which would be intr'
duced.
The ceremony of opening the reich
stag occurred at noon in the Knight
hall of the Schloss, in the presen'
of the emperor.

that the government is at>last convinced

it is preparing a bill accordingly.

III Feeling Over Employment Of
italians at Florence, Col.
DENVER, Col, Dec 22-Dr. Joseph
Cuneo, Italian consul, made an appeal
to Gov Thomas for protection of his
countrymen involved In a threatening
race war at Florence. His request was
that pressure be brought on the Fremont
county authorities to exercise all pracau-
tions at their command to prevent an
outbreak and if necessary to call out the
militia. The consul wired the Italian
ambassador at Washington to appeal TO
President Mckinley for federal aid should
the state authorities be unable to cope
with the situation.
The threatened trouble is the result of
the importation of a number of Italians
to work in a smelter for the treatment
of gold ore. The Mill and Shelters Men s
unions have objected but no serious ae-
ton has been taken though threats are
said to have been made. Edward Seed
an employe of the smelter was killed
yesterday, apparently by accident, by one
of the Italians. This incident has ia
creased the bitter feelings and race war
has been predicted.
