TONGRESSMAN B0TKIN Is one of the
~ most Influential and best known men
In the State Of Kansas. Whatever he
may say on any subject Will be accepted by
the people as the truth. So famous a rem
edy as Reruna could not have well escaped
the attention Of so famous n man. He not
only has heard of the remedy, but he has
used 1t and was relieved Of an affection of
twenty-five years standing. Peruna Is the
one internal remedy that cures chronic ca
tarrh. 1t cures catarrh wherever located.
This Is a fact that the people are rapidly
finding out, but there are still a large null
titude who need to know It.
Mr.. Frank Richter, Of Winona. Mimi, says
IN letter TO The Peruna Medicine Company.
A a remedy for catarrh l take pleasure
In recommending Peruna for catarrh OF the
stomach. l know what 1t is to be afflicted
with this awful disease and consider 1t my
duty to say q word in behalf Of the remedy
which gave me such relief. Peruna cured
me, and l know 1t will cure any one else
who suffers from this disease. 1t gives me
great pleasure to testify to the curative ef-
fects OF this medicine. Peruna Is A well
tested and frequently used remedy, and for
catarrh Of the stomach 1t Is unsurpassed.
MY catarrh was principally located In
my head ard stOmach. / tried many rene
dies without success. | tried several doc

Cabbages to q Finish.

Memphis Scimitar: An old darby who
lives in the thickets across the river
came to Memphis the other day to get his
pension check cashed. After receiving the
money, which amounted to sl1, the old ex-
slave sauntered down Front street TO a
produce house and bought three crates Of
cabbages. When they were delivered at
the wharf late hat afternoon the old man
was there and received them with n
mouth watering In anticipation Of the
good time ahead.
"Whut yer gwine ter do wild dem cab
bages2" inquired the negro drayman who
delivered them.
Eat 'em.' was the quick response.
Use bin free forty years, and dis is de
first time Use had de money to buy nun
cabbage. Use gwine ter eat cabbage till
/ furgit de way ter my mouf."

At the Door.

/ thought myself indeed secure,
So fast the door, SO firm the lock,
But 10! he toddling comes to lure
My parent ear with timorous knock.
My heart were stone could 1t withstan,
The sweetness of my baby's plea
That timorous, baby knocking, and
please let me in: it's only me-"
l threw aside the unfinished book,
Regardless of its tempting charms;
And, opening wide the door, / took
My laughing darling in my arms.
Who knows but in eternity
I, like a ruant child, shall wait
The glories Of a life to be.
Beyond the heavenly Fathers gate?
And will that heavenly Father heed
The truant's s~upplicating cry.
AS at the outer o / plead,
IT'S !, o Fatherl Only l."

You Just Stand on the Sidewalk and Ring
Up Central
New York suns: The nearest approach
to wireless telegraphy in point Of convent
ence of communication is the open air
telephone, for use in the public streets.
When this has come into use you can

your best girl-and have It all over in a
second.
William Gray of Hartford, Conn, tho
inventor OF the regulation booth teio-
phone, has concocted the scheme, and
ntty or the machines are now being put
together by the Gray Telephone Pay

as successful as its inventor imagines
that 1t Will, the Introduction of the ma
chines throughout the United States Will
depend only on the consent OF the mu-
nicipal authorities.
This outdoor telephone Is of the height
| and shape Of a police or fire alarm box.
The slender iron post that bears the box
and the box itself have a white aluminium
finish. The sides of the box bear the blu
bell, the emblem OF the telephone station.

nickels, etc., and on the inside of the
door hangs a telephone directory.
The receiver Is attached TO the back
by a short arm, and beside 1t hangs the
transmitter. Connection with the central
office is made In the usual way, and when
central gets the person wanted and the
money Is deposited conversation may pro-
coed.
The door of the box is on beveled hinges
and shuts Itself by gravitation after the
telephone has been used.

In without the consent of the local au-

they will take IN no more room than

1t Is suggested that the telephone call
box may supplant both of these and make
them nc longer necessary, as II is intend

There is more catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-

and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced It incurable.
Science has proved catarrh TO be a consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hairs Catarrh

H0LBROOK development AND
IMPROVEMENT COMPANY.

In encouraging the organlza-
ton of a company to bore for
artesian water in this vicinity,
we have been voicing the senti-
ment of a great majority of our
business men and property own
ers, as shown by the proceedings
of the meeting which follows.
! Subscribers to thecapitalstock
of a company for development Of
artesian water believed to exist
in this valley, met at the county
treasurer's office Monday night,
Sept. I'd, when it was made
known that 1 $50 shares of 81
each had been subscribed. The
meeting was orgaized by electing
F. NJ. Zuck, chairman, and B. F.
Jackson, secretary. Permanent
organization was then effected by
clecting the following officers:
A. Schuster. president; H. H.
Scorse, vice-president; F. J. Wat
tron, treasurer;F F. NJ. Zuck, secre-
tary and Vim. Armbruster, men,
Der, who will also constitute a
board of directors.
A motion was then carried en-
power:ng and instructing the
board to proceed energetically
and at once to make necessary
contracts and purchases for the
prosecution of the work.
Correspondence, contracts and
proposals for the work was read
by F. NJ. Zuck from different
parties he had met in California,
bearing on the work proposed.
One of the most encouraging be-
ing the very liberal offer of the
Santa Fe managers in regard to
freight rates on machinery and
transportation of experts.
On motion the company was
given the name of "The Holbrook

An adjournment was then
taken subject to the call of the

rial. The treasurer reported
that 81, 900 Of the capital stocl
had been paid in.
