A PASTORS WIFE ,l,SIs SS95s s'I',,. q
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope.
Iess-Cured by
Peruna.

MFRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent
4Vx Superintendent of the W. G. 4. U.
headquarters, at Galesburg ILL.,, was
for ten years one of the leading women
there. Her husband, when living, was
first President of the Nebraska Wesleyan
University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In a letter written from 40l Sixty-ssventh
street, W., Chicago, ILL.,, Mrs Fleharty
Having lived a very active life as wife
and working partner of busy minister.
my health failed me a few years ago l
lost my husband about the same time,
and gradually 1 seemed to lose health
and spirit. My daughter is a confirmed
invalid, and we both felt great need of an
invigorator.
"One Of my neighb0rs advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was Immediate.
~ secured and great change took
place In my daughters as well as In
my own health. Our appefifes i'm.
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and resff1i sleep
soon Improved us, SO that we seemed
like new women.
81 would not be without Peruna for
ten times its cost. Mrs. Anna B.
EIeharty.
What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t 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
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 be-
come the most famous remedy for female
diseases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not a palliative simply it
cures by removing the cause Of female
disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured morp
women of female ailments than any othsr
living physician. He makes these cures
simply by using and recommending Peruna.

OIL STRIKE is CONFIRMED.
Republic Well Preparing to Put In
Pumps.

Denver, April 2O.-A Boulder dis
patch Of yesterday to the Republican
says:
All doubt here of the genuineness of
the strike made yesterday in the Re
public well has been dispelled by the
developments of the last twenty-four
hours. 1t was thought that the well
was far too shallow to have encoun-
tered the true oil sand. and that the
oil which had been found was only
seepage. After IL careful examination
to-day the owners report that there is
only one conclusion to be reached
that the Republic is not only in oil,
but that it is the greatest strike yet
made In this field.
Last night ten barrels were filed
with oil before the drill was stopped
for the night This morning five more
We're filled and then, for lack of bar
rels, and in sheer waste, the oil was
emptied from the bailer into the sump
as fast as 1t was brought up. 1t is IA
thick oil and evidently has not been
filtered through shale. This is taken
to indicate that it has free channel
to the well, and that it's course is not
impeded by anything less porous than
the oil sand.
Il should estimate that not less than
fifty barrels of oil We're brought up by
the bailer and thrown away on the
sump," said Manager Teagarden. 1--WE
were trying to exhaust the oil in the
well in order to drill deeper. 1t was of
no use, however. The hole filed up
again as fast as We could bail it,
At noon to-day the we'll was measur.
ed and was found to be just 961 feet
deen. The oil sand had been penetrat-
ed for distance of 21.6 feet. The man.
ager decided that the drilling had gone
far enough. and rather than run the
risk of losing his well by entering
crevice, he ordered the drilling tools
withdrawn. He has placed an order
for pumps and machinery and will in
stall them us soon as possible.
Estimates of the output of the well
vary from fifty to 200 barrels day.
1t is stated that the well produced six
ty-five barrels in eight hours to-day,
but whether it can maintain that out
put is, of course, a question. There Is
not n sign of gas In the well. while 9TH
err wells that have struck this stratum
have found gas in quantity, but no oil.
They are all higher than the Republic
md the owners think that the lower
part Of the stratum will prove as pro-
ductive as the one found by the Nc
Kenzle and Arnold almost 5000 feet
down.

Snake Fang Industry.
lNew Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.1
Speaking of itching snakes, the snake
fang industry used to yield g good rev
enue here and in other parts OF the South.
That was in the palnny days OF voudoo-
ism Snake fangs are supposed to have
a peculiar charm when It comes. to the
business Of forecasting and OWNING
things. and no thoroughbred voudoo doc
tor could afford to be without them. They
were supposed to be necessary In the
business, and if the voudoo doctor could
not corral a snake himself he would sim
ply have to pay the price in the snake
there was the 'hoodoo bag a peculiar
contrivance now extensively used BY ne
groes in the South. The 'hoodoo bag is
a curious combination of things. All OF
them do not contain snake fangs, yet
fangs are believed to add much to the
power which 4 possessor OF one Of these
strange things may get from it. These
bags are generally very small. sometimes
ing used for the purpose. They are filled
with all sorts of things. The contents OF
the urn used by the witches of Dunsinane
in the story of Macbeth are nothing in
comparison with the mysterious hodge
podge to be found In the nootloo bag
And the negro who practices hoodooism
is looked upon as having more power,
when 1t comes to the material benefits,
than any set OF witches ever possessed.
so far as the negroes who believe in such
things are concerned They are sup
posed to be great gold finders, and hard
working. Industrious negroes have been
known to give up q big part Of their
salary while under tho influence OF the
man with the hoodoo bag. Not infre-
quently the police have been forced to in
terfere on account of the robbery OF ne
groes in this way. But snake fanss do
not command much of u price now. be-
cause voudooism has been on the decline,
and negroes who believe in the potency
for good or bad OF the .hoodoo bag have
been. fortunately. on the decrease Still,
a sufficient number of the credulous re-
main to enable q few shrewd negroes to
make Il living without working.
