Ripon, Wis, Dec. Is. - The police
was called on yesterday to dispense a
crowd of college students who were
engaged in a hand-to-hand combat in
the belfry of the Congregational
church for the possession of small
piece of red bunting with the gold
figures "06" on it, which was waving
from the base of the cross on the lofty
spire, nearly $50 feet above the
ground. The banner was placed on
the steeple by a daring freshman, who
climbed up the lightning rod. The
isophomores tried to get up the steeple
to remove the flag and a fierce battle
ensued in the belfry which lasted until
the arrival of the police.

A Good Tonic.
Pe-ru-na is a natural and efficient

weakened or overworked nerves resume
their natural strength and the blood
vessels begin at once to regulate the
flow of blood according to natures laws.

Catarrh Cured.
All phases of catarrh, acute or chronic,

1t is through its operation upon the
nervous system that Pe-ru-na has at
tanned such worldwide reputation as

of catarrh wherever located.
