Peruna a Preventive and Cure for Colds.
Mr.. C. f. Given, Sussex, N. B., Vice
President of "The Past-time Boating

I have for years past been very sure to
catch a severe cold which was hard to
throw off, and which would leave after
effects on my constitution the most of
the winter.
"Last winter / was advised to try
Peruna, and within five days the cold
was broken up and in five days more l
was a we'll man. 1 recommended it to
several of my friends and all speak the
highest praise for it. There is nothing
like Peruna for catarrhal Affections. 1t

Peruna has been to me. For over two
years / suffered with catarrh of the
lungs and throat, and although l doc

me greatly, and three more effected a

IN DEFIANCE OF TIE COURT.
Striking Bakers Show Their Contempt for
Law and the Rights of
Others.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 14.-Strilking
journeymen bakers have disregarded
an order issued by Judge John Henry
of the circuit court, restraining them
from interfering with the business
of Warneke's bakery, and one of them
went so far as to throw the courts
order into the street when a deputy
served it. What course Judge Henry
will take remains to be seen. The
strikers had interfered with the
bakery's business by standing in
front of his shop and telling all per-
sons who passed not to p~atronize the
store as its manager was antagonistic
to organized labor.

three months coming to this city from
Cuba, arrived here yesterday afternoon
about o'clock and is now lying at the

some trip, having had to put into Key West
and other ports for repair work About the
1st Of July she was found in distress at
sea off Cape Hatteras and was towed into
Hampton Roads by the U. s. collier Leoni-
das. The statement that she was In a sink
ing condition Is denied by her officers who
say that she was not full Of water, and
was leaking but small amount, which her
pumps had no trouble in keeping down,
One Of her propeller wheels had worked
loose on the shaft, and this disabled her
so that she had to ask for assistance For
the past month and half she has been
lying at Newport News. where she was
repaired and given a thorough overhauling.
She sailed from Old Point Monday at m.
and reached here about 5 pm. yesterday.
The Kearney is under the command of
Capt. B. C. Cooper who brought her from
Cuba but only three of the original crew
of Cuban sailors remain aboard, the Others
having left her at Key West and Old Point.

Importance of its work. That he has been
In the bureau continuously for over forty
one years Is good evidence that his service
and experience are considered valuable to
the government.
To know that during this long period of
service he has had the confidence of his
superiors In office and good will of his as
sociates Is of itself gratifying, and he con-
siders 1t the most fortuna te part of his life
to have served under three of the most Il
lustrious men of the country-Lincoln,
Grant and Mckinley.
Judge Tompkins went to his desk in the

Long and Active Career.
This venerable servant of the government
was born August 13. 1922. in Westchester
county, N. Y. After pursuing the usual aca-
demic course in his native town (Somers) he
entered the university in the city of New
York in 1910, and graduated in 1914. Among
his classmates were Dr. Howard Crosby
and A. Oakley Hall of New York. Theodore
Frelinghuysen was at the time chancellor
of the university and for Vice Pres-
dent on the ticket with Henry Clay. Judge
Tompkins reverts with pride to the fact
that his first vote was cast for CLAY and
Frelinghuysen."
Having prepared himself for the law,
he moved to Wisconsin in the summer of
1S47 and settled in Fond du Lac. In 1S4S
Mr.. Tompkins was nominated for the office
of district attorney for the county on the
whig ticket, running ahead of his ticket
In 1850 he was elected judge for the coun-
ties Of Fond du Lac and Calumet, which
office he held for four years.
Shortly after his election he was appoint
ed postmaster of the city, serving nearly
the whole of President Filmores admin
istration. In 1S4S Judge Tompkins was
marrier to Miss Amelia Davis of Fond du
Lac, eldest daughter of Col. c. Davis, a
pioneer, and three children were the fruits
of this union, but none survive.
Judge Tompkins was fortunate in his an
cestral relations, being lineal descendant
of Gov. Daniel D. Tompkins of New York,
while his grandfather, DR.. Elias Cornelius,
was an eminent surgeon in the revolution
ary army under Gen. Washington, whose
friendship and confidence he enjoyed during
life.
