Catarrh of Throat and Stomach.

Catarrh of Throat and Stomach.
 MT. J. c. Metcalf, No. 3s26 Elmwood Ave-, Chicago, Ill.,, writes:
 "I am 72 years old, have been troubled with catarrh of the throat and stomach a great deal, and have tried almost every kind of medicine but none have done me so much good as Peruna. I was travelling salesman for N years, and this is the cause of my trouble. To-day I am feeling better than I have for the past five years. can heartily recom- mend Peruna to all who suffer from like diseases, as sure aad complete cure."- J. O. METCALF.
 Pelvic Catarrh.
 Mrs. Ella Martin, No. 7O6 Monroe St., Toledo, O., writes:
 "I had catarrh of the womb and could obtain little or no relief, and friend of mine who had been benefited by Peruna advised me to give it trial. I never had any faith in patent medicines, but decided to give Peruna a fair trial. I have used five bottles, and now do not feel a pang or pain such as had con- tinually undergone, and my general health is very much improved. think Peruna is God send to suffering hu- manity. ."-MRS. ELLA MARTIN. 'r
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

Dyspepsia and female weakness are considered by many to be entirely different diseases-that dyspep- sia is catarrh of the stomach and female weakness Is due to catarrh of the pelvic organs the Sisters are fully aware, con- seouently Peruna is their remedy in both these very common and annoying dis eases.

mon, it is possible that the further
march Of invention may prove disas-
trous to portion of the large aggre-
gate of capital that has already gone
into automobile manufacture. 1t may
be we'll at this point to call attention
to very valuable illustrated article
that we present In this number on
the making Of automobiles In the
United States. Generally speaking,
the business OF the country seems TO
be upon a firm basis, and the continu-
ance Of such industrial activity a.

win Good Times Continued

1t has been thought In many quar-
ters that the extraordinary period OF
transforming, company promoting,
and general business expansion thro'
which we have been passing for sew
eral years must end in crash of pro-
portions suited TO the unprecedented
magnitude of the new financial and
industrial operations. This, Of
course, does not necessarily follow.
As we have remarked In previous dis
cussions OF the business outlook, the
amalgamation OF capital and industry
may prove to give greater steadiness
TO the general movement Of business.
There must, OF course, be local specu-
lative collapses, as, for example, In
the oil-land craze OF the southwest,
and In the premature overdevelop-
ment of some forms Of industry.
Thus, although the progress in the
OF various kinds OF SELF
vehicles has been amazing,
and their use 10 becoming quite CON-

Station Agent Leighty was jumping
sideways Tuesday-all the sidetracks
full-forty-two cars of building ma
terial for Brookings on the track
besides any amount Of local merchan-
disc freight, and not half enough
teams to unload the cars. The dray-
men were at loss to know what to
do. Every available team to be found
was pressed into service and yet there
was jam. Every time a freight train
came in work of unloading had to
stop to allow switching of cars. We
understand that there are cars OF
freight sidetracked at other stations
which are consigned to Brookings, but
will not be brought here until some OF
the sidetracks have been cleared up.
The North Western would have
done well to spend little time and
money 10 putting in additional side
tracks at this point, which, we believe,
they were advised to do some time
ago.
The freight and passenger traffic at
the present time Is something enor-
nous and has but just commenced.
There is acrying need for some i'm
provements at the Brookings station.
This city has outgrown its swaddling
garments and it Is time that the rail-
way company having exclusive con-
troll of the traffic to and from Brook
ings should give the public good and
modern service. The old depot has
outgrown its usefulness--a new and
modern brick structure should take
its place. Electric lights should be
added. At the present time and un-
der the present arrangement the
North Western depot and grounds are
darkest and most dangerous places in
the city. The yards should be extend
ed and fiagman placed at the cross
ing OF Main street.
The vacant property, between the
depot and the city, owned by the COM
pany should be converted into a park
and the surroundings made beautiful
and attractive. Brookings station
does the largest business OF any In the
state and our people should rise up
and demand that these improvements
be made.

Mrs. VIM. Townsend returned from
Faribault, Mimi, Saturday evening,
where she went last week to look
after her interests in an estate to
which she had fallen heir through the
death of her uncle, Harvey Scott, who
died August IA at the age Of SO years.
At the time of the old gentleman's
death it was reported in the dailies
that before he died he burned $25, 900
Of his money and that he left a will
which contained the strange proviso
that his wealth In bonds and notes,
amounting to nearly 1900, should
be burned. He also gave his house
keeper, who had been with him but a
comparatively short time, property
valued at 5000. The cemetery In
which he was buried was to receive
$500.
There is little question but that the
old gentleman was insane, judging
from his actions for some time past
and 1t is thought that he was too
miserly to have burned his money. 1t
is far more likely that someone hav.
ing undue influence over him, pur-
suaded him to give them the money
and they started the report.
The county authorities refuse to
burn the valuable papers as demanded
by the provisions of the will and the
legal heirs will receive their portion.
There is brother and sister OF the
deceased who live in Ohio, Mrs.
Townsend is niece and her brother
living in Faribault, Mimi, making In
all four heirs.
The brother and sister will each re.
ceive third Of the property. Mrs.
Townsend and her brother will divide
the remaining third, and the heirs
will receive their just due as soon as
proper probate proceedings have been
taken.
The right Of the housekeeper to re-
tain the property willed to her will be
contested on the grounds Of the old
gentlemans feeble mind, being in.
competent to transact his business
affairs or know what he really wanted.
1t Is said the report that there was
any estrangement between Scott and
his relatives is not true, as his nephew
was frequent visitor at his uncle's
house, though at times the uncle did
not act cordially.
Mrs. Townsend Is worthy lady and
her many friends here will be pleased
to learn that she is to receive the
snug little sum of $4,000.

Finest Plums in the Northwest.

Last week Mr.. HI. Il. Odegard, of
this city, sent tc the REGISTER Office
some of the finest plums we have ever
seen or eaten. For several years the
"Odegard' plum has been recognized
as the best and most prolific fruit Of
its kind in the. northwest and Mr..
Odegard has since been propagating
and improving the fruit until he has
almost II not quite reached the acme
of success. Next spring he will be-
gin distributing the ''Odegard" plum
trees In this section and those who
wish hardy tree which bears extra
ordinary large fruit will do well to
secure at least a few of these really
superb trees.

owner. While at home his wife re-
marked that the butcher had sent in
bill amounting to ten dollars. The
only money he had with him was the
money he had found which he gave to
her and she paid the butcher. The
butcher gave it to the farmer for a
calf. The farmer paid it to his clerk
and the clerk owing the banker note
of ten dollars went to the bank and
paid the note. The banker recog.
nized the bill as the one he had found
and up to then had settled fifty dol
lars Of debts. On careful examina-
tion he found the bill was counterfeit.
Now will some of our financial friends
tell what has been lost In the transac-
tion and by whom, IL auy.-Ex.
"Will some OF our editorial brethren
who have been In the business long
enough to know cell us why 1t is that
man who would not think of going
into store and asking for spool OF
thread, then with a pleasant "thank
you" walk out without paying for 1t,
will do that very thing when he wants
copy OF the last weeks paper?"--
Canistota Clipper.
The reason a man will take copy
of newspaper and walk out without
paying for 1t, is because country pub
fishers the world over allow 1t to be
done, The man who will walk of
with a copy Of his local paper with
out depositing his nickel, would not
think of doing so with the metropoli-
tan press. The greatest drawback to
successful country newspaper work 10
the low value publishers themselves
set upon their work. A newspaper is
worth five cents just as clearly as is a
spool of thread. The difference arises
from the fact that the publishers do
not make 1t plain. -Huronite.
