Evansville, Ind, Sept. 30
Seely L. Dunn, Assistant Super
itendent of the st. Louis & Hen
derson division of the Louisville

in this city, has resigned in order
to accept the position of Vice
President and General Manager
of new road in the Southwest,
backed by st. Louis capital. Mr..
Dunn has had eighteen years ex-
perience in various departments
of railway service, and is in ev-
cry way well qualified to take
the managerial helm Of the new
property. He will enter upon
his new duties October l..
successor on the st. Louis & Hem
derson has not yet been ap-
pointed.
: Mr.. Dunn has been located
here for about two years, but he
has seen continuous service on
the L. & N. for the past eighteen
years. He began at the bottom
Of the ladder, and his advance
-ment has been rapid. There is
no official held in higher esteem
by the company, and a strong ef-
fort was made to have him re-
consider his resignation. The
offer from the st. Louis capital
lists was SO tempting, however,
that he thought it best to ac-
cept it.
When seen last evening Mr..
Dean said: "My resignation
was rendered on account of the
extremely good offer made me
by the management of the new
road. | am not at liberty to say
who my successor will be, but
you can say with safety that it
will be an Evansville man."
Mr. Dunn will remove with
his family to st. Louis in a few
days.
Mr.. M. Devney will be assistant
superintendent of the Henderson

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 121T
West 33rd ST., Minneapolis, Minn., as fol.
lows:

I would be cured, as the Doctors medi-
cine did not seem to help me any.
fortunately a member Of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that decided to try it.
Although started in with little faith, I
felt so much better in a week that I felt
encouraged.
''I took 1t faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured. Words fail to
express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more is the best thing could wish
for, and thanks to Peruna 1 enjoy that
how."-MINNIE e. McALLISTER.
What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause Of most cases
of female disease.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection Of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female disease ever known. Every
where the women are using IL and prais-
ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim
ply; it cures by removing the cause of
female disease.
DIR. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.

Judge Titus again repeated as fol.

''He never told anyone about the

Then Justice White passed sentence
as follows:
'In taking the life of our beloved

You have said, according to the

yourself that no other person aided
