IL was found he only owned forty-three
head and under a different brand. His de-
Tense was that the bank had advanced

enced him to three years In the peniten-
tiary. the jury having recommended mercy.

peared as The Farmers Bank Of Custer
County" The defendant claims that this
was a fatal variance.
Goes BACK for R~erenteuce.
II appears that the case OF John Nc
Cormick. the Nebraska City murderer Of
his mistress, which was reversed at the
recent sitting Of the supreme court for
informality in the imposition OF the SEN
tence, is only sent back for resentence.
Judge lessen, in imposing sentence, dld
not. II appears, neglect to ask the pris-
oner what he had to say why sentence
should not be imposed. but did neglect
to inform Mccormick OF the verdict OF
the jury. II was for that reason that
the sentence was reversed. The case lie
exactly similar to one that came up from
Otoe county IN 1875. wherein a man named
Dodge was sentenced for a murder in
Chase county and was sentenced without
having been Informed of the verdict Of the
jury. This case was sent back so that the
sentence could be pronounced over again.

Their cold continues, and their cough

Miss Lillia Of Illinois, started out ex-

course of Peruna before IL was too late.
She had caught several colds, then a cough
developed. She took all sorts of cough
medicines until. as she puts it, II sickened

Peruna had cured her Of her catarrh, and
her system was entirely rid OF IT.
This is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Not a day, and probably not an
hour, passes but some one has a similar
experience with Peruna.
The first step toward consumption Is
catching cold. The next step is a failure
to cure it promptly. The third step is
the development Of catarrh, which grad
uslly becomes chronic. The fourth step,

stage.
At any time during the progress of the
catarrh, from the first onset Of the cold TO
its final settlement in the lungs. Peruna
can be relied upon to stop the disease. Il
cures entlrely. Even after consumption
has become thoroughly developed, many
cases have found in Peruna a permanent
cure. After they have been given up by
physicians to die OF consumption, Peruna
has cured them. We have hundreds OF
testimonials that declare these facts in the
