Dr. Llewenyu Jordan
DR.. Llewellyn Jordan, Medical Examiner
Of U. S. Treasury Department, graduate Of
Columbia College, and who served three
years at West Point, has the following to
say Of Peruna:
"Allow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth vast change
and now consider myself a we'll man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure YOU"
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systematic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is what
Peruna does. ~Peruna Immediately invigor-
ates the nerve-centers which give vitality to
the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is not guess nor an experiment-it
is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna
has no substitutes rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna.

Mich, while on duty at the rear Of the
vault, about 7:45 o'clock. noticed a man
peering from behind tree about forty
feet from the vault. He watched it for
twenty mimi es and then challenged the
intruder, who made no response, but
lodged back of the tree. The soldier then
advanced, challenging second time, and
the man came out and ran toward De
Prend, sheltering himself behind second
tree twelve feet nearer the vault.
De Prend, noticing that the fellow was
carrying a package in one hand and
glinting instrument in the other, took no
further chances. but brought down his
rifle and fired. Just as he did so. an
other man, approaching from behind, and
whom he had not seen, struck up the
rifle and at the same moment dealt De
Prend terrific blow on the body with
some, instrument.
Meanwhile the shot had aroused other
members of the guard but owing to the
fact that they had to climb steep hill
the marauders had disappeared before
they arrived. The man who attacked De
Prend was masked. The other, he says,
he could easily recognize.
While no one knows what the motive
of the attack on the guard was or what
the man behind the tree had in his pack
age, the theory advanced is that it was
an. attempt to blow up the vault in which
the Presidents body lies. Military men
agree that it looks like that.

FlLlPiNoS STAY MANY.
Kill Forty-eight Members of Compa-
ny c, Ninth Infantry.


Forty-eight soldiers belonging to the
Ninth regiment of the United States in
fantry were killed and eleven were
wounded during a sudden attack by Fill
Pine insurgents while at breakfast Sat
urday morning. Adjt. Gen, Corbin ex-
presses the opinion that the co1npany's
officers must have been negligent in the
matter of posting pickets. otherwise the
camp could not have been so completely
surprised as to lead to such slaughter.
The troops were attacked while unpre-
pared by 400 bolomen. of whom the
Americans killed about 140. Many of
the soldiers were killed in their quarters
before they had time to grasp their rifles.
The insurgents captured all the stores
aud ammunition of the company and all
the rifles except twelve.
American officers in the Philippines
fear night attacks more than anything
else, and it is common gossip in military
circles that they have habit of with
drawing their pickets at daylight upon
the assumption that all danger Of attack
is then over. In this instance it is prob
able the outposts were permitted to come
in to breakfast, no relief being sent to
take their places. ne Insurgents. WIZ
