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

They do 50 because they have learned
by experience ttha it is valuable med
icine.
Not only is 1t valuable medicine but
1t is applicable to the climatic ailments
Of winter and summer. Extremes Of
heat and cold in the United States make
ita land Of catarrh.
Nearly everybody has catarrh. This
ismore especially true among the mid
die and lower classes. Exposure to the
climate, hard work, and unventilated
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, bus
they are the hardest to cure.
Peruna is specific for this class OF
diseases. No other remedy can tskeits
place. Thousands of cases Of chronic
cstarrh are cured by the use Of simply
a 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 q single bottle.
1t is 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, H.,
writes; al wish to acknowledge my APP
probation Of the benefits received from
Peruna and Manalin in the treatment of
what was pronounced systemic catarrh.

pneumonia prevailed. had an attack
of cold in catarrhal form, suffering with

LEXINGTON, KY, Dec.-Reports
show that on Christmas day there
were 80 deaths from violent causes in
various parts of Kentucky. This is a
record which has not been equaled in
years. The killings were confined to
the smaller towns and country dis
tricts,and not the cities, where saloons
are closed on Christmas day. The
killing from which the most serious
results are expected was that Of E. T..
Garrard, son of Gen. T. t. Garrard,
leader of the Garrard- White fued fac
tion in Clay county. He was shot in a
fight near Manchester by Dill Holland,
also connected with one Of Clay coun-
tvs fued families. 1t is feared that
this will cause another outbreak.
In a general fight between negroes
in Clay county, ]. C. Cash was killed,
and three of the participants seriously
wounded. At Mayfield Deputy Sheriff
John Usher and Charles Bowlin, a dive
keeper, were killed in fight between
officers and those resisting arrest.

In view Of the prospect Of two rural
fgee delivery route so soon the people
of Audrain county will be interested
in the following statement; At the
beginning Of the new fiscal year an
appropriation of sl,750,0OO became
available for the maintenance and ex-
tension of the mali free delivery posta!
system. There are now in operation
about 300 rural delivery routes, and
the number is being constantly In
creased. The increased appropriation
will enable the system to be practically
doubled this year in the opinion of the
P0S,mlstsr's Adeo cate, Washington. IT
was thought that rural free delivery
bringing the mail to the very door Of
the farmer and carrying his letters to
the poSt-office would be an expensive
drag on the reven ues. but the increas-
ed patronage, as it proves, make up
for this. The rate for 'drop-letters"
on the rural routes has been increased
from to 2 cents.

Widow Said to Be Made Sole Heir
and Executrix.

A will of the late William Wadding-
ham, of East St. Louis, has been
found, according to report circulat-
ed in East st. Louis yesterday. The

to more than 100000, has been left to
the widow, who was his second wife,
and who is made executrix without
bond. II is said that the document
will be filed for probate at Clayton,

the part of the estate in this city, no

UNcALLED for and captlous criti-
cism of Gov. Dockery or any other
governor is very easy and is often
thoughtlessly INDUCED in. The Kan
sas City Times writes an article re-
ferring to those who are already find
ing fault with Gov. Dockery and
closes a most sensible editorial by
saying; "The Times believes that
GOV. Dockery will appoint boards
which will be satisfied TO perform the
duties devolylng upon them by law,
eschewlng interference with extrane-
Gus matters, thus leaving to the peo-
pie home rule, the management Of
their own affairs. We believe that
Gov. Dockery will give the cities, as
well as the interior OF the State good
government. Give him chance. ="
