LOUIS +. CARDANl.
To catch a severe cold in the sum-
mer Is often a much more grave affair
than to catch cold in the winter. The
depressing heat of summer is quite apt
to cause the cold to settle in some
internal organ. Summer colds have
led to more cases of kidney disease,
bladder disease, liver trouble than win
ter colds.
The experience of Hon. Cardani, AL
derman of New York city, is an illus
tration of these statements. He had
summer cold which persisted. Nothing
would drive II away. In four days
Peruna began the cure and in week
he was well agin.
What other medicine could have
done this? Surely Peruna deserves
the praise that so many million people
are giving II. II Is a medicine that
ought to be used in every family.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to Or. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

bike" CAUSES TROUBLE

Constable Gilby's Exciting Expert
encs in Endeavoring to Locate a
Stolen Wheel in Michael Bonnettps
House on Belmont Street-Bon-
netti Yields q Hatchet and AL
most Trims Gilby's Beard-Bon-
netti Arrested.
There was an exciting time at the
store of Michael Bonnetti on Belmont
street yesterday, when Constable Ste
phen Gilby, of Alderman Delavan's
court. tried to locate a stolen wheel.
Bonnetti resented what he deemed
was an intrusion, and though the con-
stable Haunted the search warrant un-
der the formers eyes, he did not heed
this ceremony of the law and sailed
in to do Gilby, the laws representative.
Bonnetti had hatchet which he WELD
ed and came so close to the officers
face in one of the side passes that the
blade almost lost itself in the beard
Iof Gilby. Constable Gilby, however,
has mad hatchets SHE'D at him be-
fore, and he has passed that stage
where one is apt to get the shivers at
the sight of a hatchet or any of its
bigger relations. Therefore he was
performing a habit, as it were, when
he sailed into Bonnetti and caused the
son of Italy to gasp for breath as he
was hustled about the store.
The power of the law, backed up by
the strong muscles Of the constable
was overpowerng. and Bonnetti ac-
knowledged, though under protest. that
the officer was a bigger man than he
was. Before this acknowledgment
things were disturbed somewhat by the
struggling pair and besides broken
| feelings, Bonnetti had a broken show
case and other fixtures to mend.
The constable came after wheel
which he believed was on the prem
| ises, but since Bonnetti denied its
presence and forcibly objected to the
search, Gilby was satisfied with his
prisoner and was marching him off
when he reented and agreed to the
search being made. The result was the
| finding of the wheel in the cellar,
covered over with old bags. The BIZ
cycle was identified by Bicycle Dealer
WlCkwire, of Salem avenue, as one
he rented to Elmer HayCoCk some time
in July. Constable Gilby has had the
case in hand since then and his in
veStiGation led to the finding of the
wheel in Ronnettis house. Bonnetti de-
clared he purchased it from HaycoCk
However true this may be. it is not
known, for HayCock left town soon
after renting the wheel from Wick
wire.
| Bonnetti was held in bail in the sum
of $500 by Alderman Delavan. Later in
the day overtures of "A settlement were
made which will probably avert a tria
