NO RUN ON LOWELL BANK.
Counsel Engaged to Represent the
Missing Officers.

Lowell Mass. Oct. 19.-The Mer-
chants National Bank opened and
closed its doors at the usual hours to-
day and nothing out of the ordinary
developed to interfere with its BUSH
ness despite the surprising absence of
the teller, Albert G.. Smith, and the
bookkeeper, Lewis X. Swift. A slight
depression in business was noticed,
and inquiries respecting balances were
more numerous. but the run for which
the directors had prepared, did not
materialize. The bank had money
enough to square accounts with all
depositors. The most interesting de-
Velopment of the day was the engage
ment Of counsel to represent the inter-
ssts Of the missing men. This informa-
Tie f- ne
IN the direction Of a settlement are soon
TO be submitted to the direcors.
The only information of the prob
able loss was given this morning by
one OF the directors, Judge Charles Lii
Icy, when asked if the loss of 900
was likely to be an exaggeratton, re-
phed that he believed 1t would turn out
70 be an exaggeration. Tonight the
loss is thought to be even greater than
that amount.

1 recommend Peruna to every one, and

Phoebe ]. Smith.
Mrs, Bertha Mohr, 1913 Gilbert street,
Iowa City, writes:
ct was very nervous and weak, had

temic catarrh). I had female weakness

Mrs. Bertha Mohr.
Mrs. A. Z. Stouffer, Sabetha, Kansas,
writes in a recent letter to DR.. Hart
man
"Peruna is the best medicine for ca
headache, palpitation Of the heart, pain
in the side, and suffered very much
every month. If I did any hard work

Inflammation of the right ovary, but
was not cured. l also had catarrh OF

I work hard every day now and IL
doesn't seem to hurt me, either. Peruna
did IL all. talk to every one about Pc
runa- / cannot say too much for II.
When I wrote you I had given mp all
hope of ever being strong agatn. Pc
runa has given nae health and
strength that no doctor ever did fos
that was ever made for women. MY
husband says it is the cheapest doctor
he can get."--Mrs. A. E. Stouffer.
This is the same old story told by q
thousand women in thousand differ
ent ways. Female trouble; doctors fail
to cure; Peruna, as a last resort, a hap
by relief from a dreary servitude to
aches, pains and a complication of
physical anguish that can never be de-
scribed.
These women all tell the same story.
Pains all gone. Dragging sensations
gone. Quivers and throbbings and
tremblings and dizziness and nausea
and the Irregularities and painful pc
riods-all gone. In their place has
come vigor and vivaeity, health and
hope, peace and patience, grace and
gratitude.
Peruna is a wonder-worker in fe-
male diseases and yet the explanation
of it is simple. Catarrh is the cause of
these troubles. Peruna cures the ca
tarrh. The cause being removed the
symptoms disappear.
IF you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peru
ma write at once to DR.. Hartman. Civ
ing full statement of your case, and he
will be pleased to give you his valua-
BILE advice gratis.

NOT TEARING THEIR SHIRTS.
southerners Admit Presidents Right
to Select His own Guests.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The Booker
Washington dinner incident seemed to
be entirely forgotten at the White
House to-day, judging from the long
list of official callers representing
Southern states. Conservative men
from the South. who discussed the SUBJ
ject, agree that no good can come of
agttating the question further. They
hold that the President has the right
to select the guests he will privately
entertain, nd public men from the
South cam neglect the interests OF
their constity ents because of some So
cal incident which may not accord
with their views on the subject of So
cial equality. 1t is believed that the
incident will be forgotten within a
week
Georgia was we'll represented among
the Presidents callers. Representative
Livingston called to recommend the
designation of Robert E. Mcbride Of
Atlanta, who is an applicant for sec.
ond lieutenancy. At the same time
Representative Adamson appeared on
the scene to urge the appointment OF
T. S. Baker of West Point and Arthur
Robinson of Columbus as second lieu
tenants in the army.
An amusing incident of the call oc-
CURED when Col. Livingston remark
ed: "Mr. President, do you know Rep.
resentative Adamson Of Georgian"
"Oh, yes replied the President,
quickly; II have met him before. He
was here yesterday with two gallant
soldiers of the Santiago campaign,
Capt. Powell and Capt. Orr"
Representative Livingston added that
he would never attempt to introduce
Judge Adamson to anybody again, for
he always appears to know everybody
who is worth knowing in Washington.
The Athens Postofice.
There is going to be lively contest
over the postmastership at Athens.
Postmaster Morton, colored, will have
finished his term of four years in Office
within a few weeks. A determined
effort will be made to have a white
man appointed, and there are already
several applicants in the field prepar-
ing to move on the President and the
postmaster general to urge their re-
spective claims.
Mr.. Grigsby E. Thomas, Jr., of Ath-
ems, was here to-day on his way to
New York on business. He called
upon the President to pay his respects
and was cordially received.
Judson Lyons, register of the treas
ury, had a short interview with the
President, which Is said to have been
of a most friendly character.
Discussed South's Industries.
Senator McLaurin, who is getting to
be almost daily visitor at the White
House. called to introduce DR.. j. A
McAden, president of the Cotton Spin
ners' Association of the South, and
Col. A. B. Andrews, third vice presi-
dent. of the Southern Railway. This
select party was given private audi
ence in the cabinet room. and it is un-
derstood that the subject of business
interests in the South from a manu-
featuring and transportation stand
point was discussed at considerable
length.

confirmed by the next naval estimates,
which ask for $4,000, 900 more, which
would be double the amount of the ap-

March 81, 1902. The paper adds:

CAR SHORTAGE GENERAL.

Business Movement So Great That
Railroads Cannot Accommodate 1t.
New York. Oct. 19.-The Mail and
Express to-day said:
The volume of the transportation
business throughout the country is so
great that there are not enough freight
cars to accommodate the traffic. At the
Office of the trunk line association it
was learned to-day that there is com
plant of shortage of freight cars on all
the important roads. This is somewhat
remarkable in view of the fact that
the car facilities of the country were
never so large as at present. An officer
of one large trunk system traversing
the coal fields showed figures of the
coal movement of the fields tributary
to his line, which had been cut down
from 10 to 20 per cent. in the amount
forwarded because cars could not be

TRYING NEW FIELD GUNS.
The Lewis Gun Likely to he Given
First Place.

FIrSN flAces
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE fortifica-
lions board at its meeting just end
ed at Sandy Hook witnessed the prep
arations for the approaching trial of
field guns for the artillery. Several
such guns were already on the grounds
and were undergoing private tests pre-
liminary to the official trials which will
begin next week. and probably last
three weeks. The Lewis gun, current
ly reported to be an improved model
of the French field gun, was one of
the most noteworthy pieces on the
field. Owing to the omission
of one of the mechanics to
charge the oil cylinders. it appeared
at first that this gun was a failure.
However. the omission being discov-
cred and supplied. the ensuing tests
were attended with such remarkable
success that the board felt warranted
in predicting that it would prove a
formidable competitor for the first
place in the competition, the result of
which will be to supply the United
States artillery with a new modern
gun.
