THE day was when men of promi-
nence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to-
day of most proprietary medicines.
But Peruna has become SO justly fam
Gus, it's merits are known to SO many
people of high and low stations, that
no one hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignifed representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person Of Rev.
E. G.. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greens BORG, Ga, writes:
Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth.
"My little boy seven years Of age had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other rene
dies had failed, but after taking two
bottles Of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special
malady I consider itwell nigh a specific.

Mr.. M. ]. Rossman, prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro: Ga, and an elder

letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., Of
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:

TBase LNp[!I !: l OF HONEY.
Attention of Learned Jurists
for . Long Time.

Writing on laws relating to the find
ing of honey, r. D. Fisher in Clean
ings says: There was sort of code
among bee-hunters in the earlier days
of this country, and is said to have
been generally observed. It was to
the effect that when bee tree was
located and marked with the initials
of the finder, his rights were prima
facie, and zealously observed. But
this code did not hold good in law,
especially against those holding an in
terest in the land.
"If person finds bee-tree contain
ing honey, or a hive of bees on an
others land, and marks it at once with
his initials, he does not reclaim the
bees and vest the exclusive property of
the bees or honey in himself. as
against one of the heirs having an in
terest in the land; nor does he acquire
the right to bring in the courts the
usual action of trespass against the
heir for cutting down the tree and car
rying away the bees and honey" says
the New York supreme court in the
case of Gillet VS.. Mason.
An early anu AOlNu SdSC Is &c PoI tSo
in / (Root) Conn. Goodwin sued Mer-
rill for cutting down a tree in the
forest that had swarm of bees in it,
and taking the honey which he Good
win) had previously discovered. Mer-
rill plead that said bees were swarm
from his hive; that he had frequent
" "lined" them to near said tree, and
that said bees were his property. The
plaintiff replied that he found them
wild in the woods, and had good right
to take them. The trial court gave the
plaintiff Judgment of 80 shillings dam
age.
The supreme court reversed this
Judgment, and said: "a mans find
ing bees in tree standing upon an
other mans land gives him no right
either to the tree or bees; and
swarm of bees going from hive, if
thew can be followed and known, are
not lost to the owner, but may be re-
claimed"
AS early as 1904 the New Hampshire
supreme court held that one who finds
a swarm Of bees in tree on another's
land, marks the tree with his initials,
and notifies the land owner, cannot
maintain trover against the land own
er for the bees and honey which ne
obtained and converted to his own use

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Citizens Of this

saws a Herald dispatch from LaPaz, Bo-
livia via Taona, Chilli, when government
officials posted throughout the town
placards which declared the whole re-
public of Bolivia in a state of siege, owing
to the country being threatened.
The decree caused intense excitement
because of the unexpectedness of the an
nouncement and ignorance Of the rea-
son for the government adopting such
step.

that Bolivians had been completely

LABOR
BILL MAKES
FRIENDS
PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE
LEGISLATURE PROMISED
MEASURE THEIR SUPPORT
DURING SMOKER.

A considerable and influential following
for the child labor bill that Is now pending
in the house OF representatives was OBJ
tanned during the smoker that was given
Monday night by Atlanta Typographical
union TO the members Of the general as
sembly.
II the gentlemen Of the house are as
outspoken and enthusiastic for the adop-
ton OF the bin when Il comes up for dis
cussion and passage in the house as they
were during the meeting in Federation
hall that night. there is little probability
that sufficient influence can be brought to
bear to defeat the measure this year.
Ii was a significant fact that Messrs.
stovall, Of Chatham; Hall. Of Bib; Tig-
ner, OF Muscogee; McHenry, OF FLOYD;
Franklin, Of Washington; Akin, OF Bar
tow. and Slaton. Houston and Blackburn,
OF Fulton, who represent the largest cities
of the state, with the exception OF Au-
gusta and who represent what are sup
posed to be the most influential districts
OF the state, as well as those in which
the child labor evil exists, were all out
spoken in their enthusiasm for the child
labor bill, and declared that they would
leave no stone unturned to secure its
passage.
Representatives OF Richmond county. in
which Augusta is. were not present at the
smoker because they had gone to Augusta
to accompany the body OF Senator Sulli-
van, who expired in Atlanta Sunday
morning The representatives of Rich
mond county are said. however. to favor
the passage OF the child labor bill, while
one speaker stated that night that 1t had
been the desire Of the late Senator Sulli-
van to introduce the child labor bill in
the senate.
About fifty members Of the general as
sembly were present. and they were greet
ed by the largest assemblage Of laboring
people that has ever attended a public
meeting in the Atlanta Federation OF
Trades hall. Prominent local men were
present and made speeches.
There was not a syllable uttered Monday
evening that was adverse in sentiment to
the passage of the child labor bill. which
proposes to take the weak, wiEen-faced
tots Of the poor away from the spindles
and looms Of the cotton factories and give
them a chance to grow in mind and body
and become useful. educated citizens, in
stead OF ignorant human machines that

AND FINALLY SUCCEEDED

CHICAGO. Nov. 11.-Tearing open the
wounds which he had inflicted a few
hours before with suicidal intent, Detec-
tive Edward INLAND, of the South Engle-
wood police station, died last night at the
Englewood Union hospital. -
In the morning, inland, in the presence
OF his sister, cut his throat. and when
taken to the hospital declared he would
not leave that institution alive. He fought
with those at his bedside for nearly an
hour and resisted efforts of two policemen
and two physicians to keep him quiet.
Finally his right hand was freed and in
another instant the wound in his neck
was opened. Every effort was made to
save his life, but without success.
INLAND had been respondent for several
weeks, provoked, 1t is said, by sickness
