Repentant '1'oledoans.

The citizens CT Toledo who Insisted
upon a state appropriation of mill
lion dollars or nothing for the CEN
tennial exposition are now repenting
at their leisure. They have found ,hat
Il is not so easy to drop the project as
they had supposed, and they are will
ing to take half million now If they
can only get il. The question g. how
to get it.
There is an item of half million
dollars for the centennial exposition
included in the general appropriation
bills, but the attorney general has
held that the money is not available
because the legislature failed to make
provision for its expenditure. Among
these who now take issue with the at
torney general on this point is Rep
resentative Griffin, upon whom the re-
sponsibility for the defeat of the bill
providing for the expenditure of the
appropriation rests. Mr.. Griffin was Of
,he opinion, before the legislature ad-
journed, that II the centennial bill
failed to pass the appropriation would
lapse. When he found that his unrea-
sonable and unwarranted stand for a
million dollars or nothing was not
sustained by the majority of his con-
stituents he Immediately set about
to square himself, if possible, and SO
he fell into line with those who are
now striving so desperately to prevent
the centennial project being abandon
ed. He has changed his mind about
The appropriation of 100000 He is
certain now that it is available, and
even goes so far as to intimate thai
the supreme court canont possibly dis
,gree with him. This was what he
thought about the legislature when he
,todd out for "a million or nothing
1ut he discovered his mistake.
We fear that the people Of Toledo
Who pinned their faith in Mr.. Griffin
lave repented too late. 1t was within
heir power to once have obtainert
IN appropriation of s750000, and there
vas no time that half million was
lct conceded. The policy of whole
hog or none" usually gets none,
however, and this is just what has
happened, unless all signs fail, TO the
people of Toledo. 1t is not at al
probable that the courts will hold that
he appropriation of half million is
lvailable or that special session OF
he legislature will be called for the
'elief of the centennial project.-Ohio

Colson's Acuuittal.

1t would perhaps be wrong at this

VI all the testimony to seriously criti-
Use the acticn of the jury which on
saturday acquitted Col. Colson, of
kentucky, of the murder OF Scott. The
'ictim of Colson's pistol was also a
nan who was in the habit CT settling
disputes with the pistol, and there is a
possibility that there may have been
IN element of self-defense in Colson's
.ction; but he killed not only Scott,
Iut two other men who had nothing to
10 with the occurrence, and long after
e had disabled his victim, and when
here appeared to be no further danger
ie continued to pursue him, until,
when he was examined after death his

han seven bullets, while two other
nen lay dead or dying, and others car
ried bullets which had been discharged

1t looks very much as if this was
lrrying the doctrine of self-defense
its extreme limit, and that while the

The small person whose birthday
was to be celebrated with joy, and
with gifts and loving care, thought
much about the way she must make
this occasion significant. Once she had
two friends who went away on hoi-
day journey and never came home
again. She had missed them sorely. the
fair young girls with their bright hair
and laughing eyes, and the tragedy
which met them on their way had left
deep impression upon her childish
memory. SO this birthday of hers she
thought of those Whom she would so
gladly greet, and as consequence two
graves down in New England have
holly wreaths above them this Christ
mas, ind two lonely, childless old peo-
pie whose lives We're made desolate one
day when death smote all their loved
ones at ii single blow, are cheered by
the kindly thought of little child far

There is no other disease so many
sided in it's i'll effects, so insidious in
it's approach so tenacious in its hold
upon the system, as la grippe. Once
there. it stays until it is cured. La
grippe is one of the ills that time will
not cure.
The after-effects of la grippe Go not
locate in any particular organ. 1t
amounts TO Il general rrtability of the
mucous membranes of the whole body
IA nabbiness and paleness of the mu-
couS membrane. Sometimes there is
an over-amount of thin. Watery rlu-
cous secrcted. and at other times there
is a dryness of the mucous surfaces.
There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by la
grippe better than the remedy Peruna.
Peruna strengthens as it renovates,
soothes while it stimulates. heals as it
cXpurgateS.
fe"una is not q purSatiNe. or cath
artic, or SedatiVe. or Stmulant. nor Il
vegetable or mineral poison. IT reaches
the source of all diseases of the mu-
cous membranes by its action on the
vaso-motor system of nerves.
The following are samples of the let
ters received by Dr. Hartman concern
ing the cures Peruna is making.
