about fifteen others filed a petition
or bill in the chancery court seeking
to recover about $4,000 acres of coal
and timber land in DeKalb, Smith
and Putnam counties, valued at
100000. The petition charges
that one J. W. Hughes had record
title to the land, and that while he
was not of sound mind a deed was
procured from him by one Read for
all this land, but that no proper con-
sideration passed for the deed; that
George W. Blair and his fellow pc
titiOners are lawful heirs of said J.
w. Hughes and are entitled to all
this land.

statement in 1896, he said: Ever

of kidney and bladder troubles, decid-

three years. Although I consulted
physicians, some of whom told me
was verging on Bright's disease, and
I was continually using standard rem

across the kidneys, which radiated to
the shoulder blades, still existed. AS

Reelfoot Lake Litigation.

Chancellor Cooper has dissolved
the injunction which Major J. G.
Harris, of Lake county, proposed
owner of Reelfoot Lake, filed against
Shaw, Sparks, ct al, against fishing
in or buying fish and game on the
lake for profit, Messrs. Shaw, ct al,
being required to give a bond of
$1,000. This is but the beginning
Of other lawsuits, and litigation in
few years will amount to more
than the lake is worth. Mr.. Harris
permits all who wish to fish in or
hunt on the lake for profit to do so,
provided they sell their catch and
bag to j. C. Burdick, who has leased
these privileges for three years from
Harris, paying him $1,000 per year

Desperate Attempt to Escape.

A daring effort to elude the law
was made at Nashville last week
when Josh Belt, alias Garland, I'M
der arrest, charged with numerous
daylight robberies, jumped from a
window in the ante-room of the city
court, located on the third floor Of
the police station, to the pavement, a
distance of 25 feet. Belt was in the
room awaiting a preliminary hear
ing, along with other prisoners,
when he was seen to rush to the win
dow, throw up the sash and leap out.
Andrew Rainey, patrol wagon
driver, was on the pavement, and
when Belt struck the ground called
to him to halt and at the same time
fired one shot to brighten the man.
In an instant Belt got up, half dazed
and limping, and Rainey seized him.
Officers rushed out of the station and
Belt was carried back upstairs, all
the time pleading with the officers to
shoot him and saying he was sorry
he had not been killed by the fall
Death" he said, lis a thousand
times better than going to the peni-
Tertiary" He was later bound over

There seems to be a mystery about
the man. He is young and intelli-
gent and gives evidence of having
come from good family. He says
his family shall never know of his
plight, and for that reason the
names he gives are believed to be
fictitious.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of cOngratula-
ton and communication testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a. catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
in the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher-all agree that Pc
ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso-
lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out
of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures
catarrh, but prevents. Every house

remedy for coughs. colds and so forth.

In cases where bronchitis has become
chronic from want of proper treatment in
the earlier stages, there is nothing so good
as DR.. August koenig's Hamburg Breast
Tea, in conjunction WITH which is strongly
advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an out
ward application, along the front. of the
throat, from close up under the chin to well
down to the top of the chest; the one rem
edy assists the other, and, as intended, they
work in complete unison. The wonderful
penetrating power OF st. Jacobs Oil en-
ables 1t to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes and
which makes breathing more and more diff
hcult. As these adhesions become inhamed
and enlarged, St. Jacobs Oil causes such ad-
heslons to break away, making expectora-
ton easier and more free. DR.. August
koenig' Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly
and very hot, soothes and heals the parts,
is comforting and quoting, stops the cough
and relieves the breathing. This manner
of treatment land there is no other two
cessfully) reaches the difficulty from the
outside and the inside at the same time.
St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the ad-
hesion, and assists DR.. August Koenig' S
Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then
both remedies act in unison in healing and
curing. The above remarks apply with equal
force in cases OF asthma, Group, whooping
cough, enlarged tonsils, and all bronchial
affections. Every family should have St.
Jacobs Oil and DR.. August Koenig's Ham
burg Breast Tea always in the house in or
der that they may be promptly used in the
first stages. Often the maladies develope
with wonderful rapidity, and complications
take place with equal suddenness.

FALLIBILITIEs OF SCIENCE.
Lord Kelvin Was Puzzled Over the
Impossible Angle of a Ladder
which Couldn't Fall.

At certain favorite resort in London q
conversation among a number OF tinanciers
turned upon cable shares and wireless tel
egraphy. One confirmed cable worshlpper
quoted Lord Kelvin opinion that the COM
panies had no@need to be alarmed at the prog
ress of Marconi, relates a London paper.
oh" exclaimed another, Lord Kelvin be
hangedI 1t is not the first time he has made
a mistake. Why, l remember years ago,
when he was plain Billy Thomson, he was
out in the country for ride with his brother.
You know he was always like the old fish
bag that O'Connell tackled. He slept on
a parallelogram, shaved with a spheroid,
watched the process of an elllpse and gem
orally took his mathematics to bed with him.
Anyhow ne never passed anything without
making a calculation about 1t. This time 1t
was a ladder standing against wall at an
angle which according to all known laws
ought to be impossible, especially as 1t stood
on smooth concrete at the bottom. He
called his brothers attention. They both
got down, took measurements, made endless
calculations, and considered various theo-
ries to account for the absence of slip. At
last they fixed on some far-fetched eXplana-
ton just as the farmer hove in sight. Then
they casually called his attention to the
strange circumstance. 'Oh, ay,' says the old
man, the ladder? Yes, put it there for my
hens, and it's pretty tight with the holdfast
at the top!'

o.:
Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use
your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family

lent remedy. 1 have not had occasion
to use it for other ailments.
Yours verytruly, W. NJ. Lord.
1t will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
ru-na for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with cold. Using Pe-ru-na to prompt
ly cure colds, he protects his family
against other ailments. Thisis exactly
what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, la
grippe, and other climatic affections of
winter, and there will be no other all
ments in the house. Such families
should provide themselves with copy
of DR.. Hartman's free book, entitled
