the actress who submitted herself to

Mrs. Piper confessed her ignorance of

her when she entered what appeared
to be a trance state. but she expressed
the opinion that spirits were in no

WINTER CATARRH
In All Its Phases and Stages. Cured by
PArun9.

They do SO because they have learned
by experience ttha IL is a valuable med
icine.
Not only is it a valuable medicine bus
it is applicable to the climatic ailments
of winter and summer. Extremes OF
heat and cold in the United States make
il land of catarrh.
Nearly everybody has catarrh. This
is more especially true among the mid
die and lower classes. Exposure to the
climate, hard work, and unventilates
| sleeping rooms are the principal causes.
Charitable institutions have found, by
bitter experience, that catarrhal dis
eases are not only the most numerous
of all other diseases put together, lat
they are the hardest to cure.
Peruna is q specific for this class of
diseases. No other remedy can take its
place Thousands of cases of chronic
catarrh are cured by the use of SIMPLY
| bottle. People who have spent large
sums to be cured OF catarrh, have turned
to Peruna as last resort, and been
cured by the use of single bottle.
1t is a sure cure for coughs, colds, Ia
grippe and catarrh in its many phases.
Whether the catarrh is located in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or
pelvic organs, Peruna is q prompt and
never-failing cure.
Mrs. Sarah Jones, Pleasant Plain, a.,
writes: al wish to acknowledge my ap-
probation of the benefits received from
Peruna and Manalin in the treatment of
what was pronounced systemic catarrh.
took Peruna for a while and discon-
tinued the use of it as l felt SO much
better. The latter part of the winter
and early spring there was SO much
sickness here, an epidemic of colds and
pneumonia prevailed. 1 had an attack
of cold in catarrhal form, suffering with
facial neuralgia and headache, but con-
tinued taking Peruna and Manalin and
was soon restored without being pros
trated with weakness"

BOER LOSSES.

The Scotsman prints a table which
depicts the Boer losses in the period be-
tween the end of May and the begin
ming of December of the present year.
This table. which summarizes Kitch-
ener's dispatches, shows that in the pc
riod indicated the Beers lost zoos
killed. 635 wounded and taken. 6.673
unwounded prisoners, 1887 voluntary
surrenders; total. 10.307 put out of ac-
ton in six months. At this rate the
war is approaching an end. though 1t
is significant of the determined char
acter Of Beer patriotism that General
De Wet IS said to be now at the head
of 1000 men. In fact. 1t seems. in view
of the large forces still led by Botha,
Delarey and others. that. as usually
happens. the losses on the other side
are exaggerated in the British reports.
CT the Boer population must have been
vastly larger than anybody thought 1t
was. How large the figures tend to be-
come is illustrated in the statement of
the Cape Argus that since May the
British have taken 12s,359 cattle. 44.055
horses, 1852 wagons. 592.526 rounds of
ammunition and 4.127 rifies.-Baltimore

SHORT PERSONAL STORIES.
No. 81 North First Ave.

Miss Dena Ellison, who lives near
Promontory Butte, Ariz., is famous
throughout the southwest as a bear
killer. She has killed so many of these
brutes that her memory cannot keep
track of their number. Miss Ellison's
father moved to Arizona from Texas
sixteen years ago. as he declared that
the Lone Star state was becoming too
civilized and his cattle lacked room
to Craze. Now he has room enough.
His 10000 head of fine stock can roam
over a territory 100. miles square and
nothing to stop their movement. 1t was
long Colonel Ellison's habit to spend his
leisure hours with his hounds. pursuing
bears and mountain lions. When his
daughter, Dena, grew old enough to
ride a broncho she would often accom-
pany her father on his shorter hunting
trips. Her first bear was killed with Il
revolver in a rocky defile. The girl then
lassoed one of her victims cubs and
killed the other with shot. With the
live cub tied fast to her saddle she pro-
ceeded home to tell of the incident.

of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Heretofore the people of the territory
have had to depend upon papers from
California or the east, from "a hours
to several days old, for all of the news
of the world, the news service of The
Republican, excellent as it has been.
having been inadequate for the require
ments of such an eager army of news
paper readers as that Of Arizona-and
of course no other paper in the terri
tory has kept in sight of this journal
in the matter of news.
The telegraph service to be inaugu-
rated tomorrow will make it unneces-
sary for any resident of Arizona to
take a paper from California or else
where in order to know what is going
on in the world and-most important
of all-the readers of The Republican
will read of events within a few hours
after they have happened, for this
paper reaches the most populous sec
lions of the territory shortly after it
is printed.
The Phoenix circulation of The Re

any time in it's history. and the gen.
eral circulation was never so large.
This paper is prosperous, and it has
been determined to declare a dividend
for our esteemed readers. in the form
of a greatly improved Geographic news
service.
