How many women feel equal to a
dive below the watery deep? How
MANY of them have the nerve for it /?
Very few.
Almost every woman suffers from
a weakened condition of the mu-
cous membrane that lines her body
and this saps her vitality and energy.
She is filled with nervous terrors
and does not find life worth living.
She is told she has dyspepsia or
''fema1e weakness when in reality
nothing ais her but catarrh or i'll
fanmation of the delicate lining OF
her organs.
She needs Pe-ru-na and nothing
else. It is the only medicine nee
essary to restore her strength.
What's the use of dragging through
life half alive when Pe-ru-na will
bring back all its pleasure? This
medicine is tonic for the whole
body, and there is no doubt at all
but that you need it, for it is the
one real cure for all troubles. !.

Unknown Man is Crushed to Death
Under the Wheels OF a North
western Train Tuesday.
HE TRIED TO STEAL A RIDE
But Was Unable to Hold On and His Body
Was Thrown Under the Wheels-He
Had Money Enough to Pay His Fare

An unknown man, presumably a
tramp, met terrible death under the
wheels of Northwestern passenger
train at the Park street crossing at 5
O'Clock Tuesday evening. The iden-
titY of kthe dead man is shrouded in
mystery, as the,coroner was not able
to find anything on his person which
would serve to identify him.
The man came to Kenosha in COM
pany with two others men, supposed to
be tramps, Tuesday afternoon, and
was seen 1oafng around the station
just before the accident occurred. AS
the south bound1 train pulled out just
before O'Clock the three men started
to catch it, running along the railroad
inside the fence. The two men man
aged to get on the train, but the third
was only able to catch the rail of one
of the platforms of the baggage and
mail car. By.this time the train was
running at good rate0of speed and
the man soon lost his footing and was
dragged for some distance. It is sup
posed that his foot struck something
which tripped him, for he was thrown
to the ground and the rear wheels of
the baggage car passed directly over
the head of the PROSTATE man, almost
severing it from the body. The mans
brains were scattered for some distance
along the track.
The accident 'created great excite
ment and a large crowd of people
gathered and among the crowd it was
disgusting to see women and children
curiously gazing'at the mang1ed form
of the man. AS soon as possible the
remains were turned over to the coro-
ner and sent to Hansen's undertaking
parlors, where they will be prepared
for burial.
The clothing of the man was
searched, but nothingI.was found save
small sum of money. Not scrap of
writing was found on the sperson of
the man. The two tramps who were
with the man just before the accident
occurred were intercepted at Wauke-
gan later in the evening, but they de-
c1ared that they knew nothing of the
man and they were not sent back to
Kenosha.
The dead man is supposed to be
about SC. years of age. He was about
five feet ten inches in height, well
built and had evidently been work
ingman. He was dressed in working
mems clothing andsit is apparent that
he had tramped for some distance.
The only clue discovered to the mans
identity was the fact that he told one
of the men about the station that he
was trying to get back to his home in
Chicago.

USES WoMAN's WEAPON.
MRS. Cappelen Attempts to Assault DR..
Paul MaImstroms in His Office.

There was plenty of excitement at
the office of DR.. Paul Malmstrom over
Hack1ey's drug store Tuesday evening
and Mrs. Elizabeth Cappe1en was the
cause of it all. Some time ago the
doctor had case of scarlet fever at
house owned by Mrs. Cappe1en on Ere
mont avenue and when the man died
the card wassnot removed as promptly
as it might have been and Mrs. Cap
pe1en went to the Office of the doctor
prepared to find the reason why. The
answers of the doctor to her COM
plants evidently failed to please and
the woman proceeded to attack the
physician with an umbrella which she
was carrying. A great crowd gath
cred and in some manner the woman
was appeased and left the Office. She
returned to the Office this morning and
took up the work where it was left Oft
last night. DR.. Ma1mstrom stated this
afternoon that hes would ask to have
the woman placed under peace bonds.

Thirty-five Foot Defender Wins the
Kenosha Trophy in the Cruising
Yacht Race on Thursday.
SIREN FIRST OVER THE TYE LINE
Vice Commodore Masters Brings His Boat
Finishes Poor Third in the Race.

With men a1oft to ascertain their
bearings, which had been lost in a
dense fog, the feet of the Chicago
Yacht club finished it's cruising race to
Kenosha Tuesday evening, the first
boat in being the Siren, which finished
shortly before O'Clock, Illinois was
second across the line, eighteen min
utes later, and Vencedor was two min
utes behind her.
While Siren finished first, Illinois
was winner of the cruising prize, a
$3.50 punch bowl, her liberal time al
lowance of forty-one minutes putting
her twenty-four minutes ahead of
Siren.
No race has been sailed this season
in such light and hukey breeze as
prevailed yesterday. Trouble for the
crews began at the very start, when
Siren, Prairie, and Josephine came
together in the Van Buren, street gap.
At no time during the entire race did d
good sustained sailing breeze prevail;
on the other hand, the puifs that helped
one yacht hindered another.
The race was not won entirely on
luck, however, for all the leading boats
took advantage to the fullest extent of
every breath of air stirring until the.
fleet reached Waukegan. The course
was a close race, with Siren leading
from the start. Vencedor was mile
behind, and Illinois led Minota, while
it in turn was behind Prairie.
The thirty-hve-footers proved the
surprise of the contest. For the first
twenty miles of the course Illinois and
Minota had a desperate duel, in which
the latter had the best of it by quar-
ter of mile. When it came to wind
ward work the Illinois pulled away
from Minota as though she was anchor"
ed, and also overhau1ed Prairie which
steered the best course of the day.
The victory of the Siren over the
Vencedor was the first scored by that
boat over her rival since Aug. II, 1896,
when the weather conditions were
exactly similar. However, when it
came to the windward beat the boats
were nearly on even terms, but in the
changes of tacks Vencedor cut loose
from her rival and thereby lost all the
advantage she had gained, for Siren
was assisted by shore breeze which
Vencedor did not get. Furthermore,
the big club topsai1 of the Siren was
worth all the canvas on the Vencedor,
for most of the wind was well a1oft.
AS the yachts neared Kenosha tugs
met the yachts off the port, sent out by
ex-Commodore Morgan to find the lost
fleet. The yachts were cropping AIM
1ess1y about, seeking the lighthouse.
The leaders we're directed into port and
the stragglers accepted tow.
While the winning yachts finished
in the early twilight it was late in the
night before the last yacht was hauled
in. TlS official time of the race fol-

He Is to Write History of II to Satisfy a
Dissatisfied Customer.


Chicago, July 3.-George Fl. Phillips,
the corn king, was yesterday given un-
til Aug. by the board of trade direc-
tors to supply George L. Inman, one of
his former customers, with a complete
record of the famous deal in May corn.
Inman insisted hat Phillips be cen
sured for ''unbusinesslike conduct"
but the directors decided that the only
thing necessary for Phillips to vindi-
cate himself was to furnish Inman
with full report of the inside work
iEgs of the transaction. Phillips was
satisfied with the decision and set his
clerks to work to prepare the state
ments.
The action of the board came as the
last chapter in bitter wrangle grow
ing out of the corner of two months
ago. Inman represents Van Fleet &
Co., Of Champlain, Ills. Van Fleet &
Co., through Inman, bought 265,O00
bushels. When the deal was consum-
mated Inman, it is claimed, insisted
that he should be supplied with a
statement showing in what manner his
corn was sold
