DELAWARE.

Wilmington, Del, November 3.-The closing week of the Presidential campaign in Delaware finds both the chairmen of the Democratic and Republican parties claiming victory for their respective sides. The Republican factions known as the Adj dicks and Dupont wings of the party, which at the last Presidential election were united in support of the national ticket. are again unit in their support of Repub- hcan electors, and in addition have on their respective tickets the same candidates off the uneXDired terms of the late Con- gressman Hoffecker and also for the regu- lar term. They are also united on the same state candidates but in two or three counties of the state, Kent and Sussex, they are opposed to each on candidates for the Legislature. This fact 1t is eX- pressed, gives to the general result more doubtful aspect with the odds,. if any, slightly in favor of the Democrats for con- trol of of the Legislature, which will elect two Senator's The Democrats present united front on all national, state and Leg islative candidates. and it may be said that at this time alone can determine the result beyond doubt.

HOW A PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL
 ESCAPED DREAD CONSUMPTION.'
Peruna Used in Time Saved Her Life.
ATS We'll That Ends We'll

It is the same old story of exposure to cold. The cold passing down the bron- chial tubes to the lungs; the developing of a settled cold on the lungs, coughing, expectoration. This is a short road to consumption. Thousands of people have travelled it. Thousands more will travel it and the coming winter will develop an untold multitude of new cases.
 In the case of Helen Murphy the end ing was happy one. She started on the road to consumption after catching cold at reception. Instead of waiting until she became incurable Peruna was resorted to and her life was saved
 It is pity that every one else in this wide land could not know of this very effective remedy in such cases. The news is spreading fast but great many people have not yet heard that Peruna is sure cure in these eases.
 Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic eatarrh; catarTh of the head and catarrh of the lungs; eatarrh of the throat and catarrh of the stomach. Wherever ca tarrh may have located itself, whether in the digestive organs, kidneys or pei vic organs, Peruna is sure to eradicate the disease promptly.
 Another case where consumption was cheated of its prey occurred in the state of Iowa. The report of the case created considerable attention at the time and was furnished us unsolicited by Mir. Henrickson. In letter to Dr. Hartman he sets forth some interesting details of his rescue from consumption. He made use of the following language:
 q have been for years a constant suf- ferer from chronic catarrh of tho head and throat, which finally worked down into the air passages. In the spring of ,9S took a severe cold and coughed all summer. thought had consumption Then I had bad attack of la grippe. After taking a course of Peruna l feel cured of all these troubles.
 Whenever any of ourchildren get sick we give them Reruna, and it never fails to cure them. I most heartily testify to the value of Peruna in cases of catarrh and Ia grippe. I hope this may be the means of others suffering as I did to take Peruna and be cured. We would not be without it i'll the house."
