Peruna cured him. L cannot express
my thanks for the benefit your medicine
has been to u. r. Prince.
Abraham Ziegler, Piedmont, Wayne
County, Mo-, writes:
"My wife who is now eighty-seven
years old, suffered for about sixteen
years from severe catarrh Of the head,
which affected her sight and hearing.
1 saw Pe-ru-na advertised in your al
manac, and testimonials similar to her
case attracted my attention. I got one
bottle and it helped her so much that
she is now using the second bottle and
she thinks it is something wonderful.
Her hearing and sight are both in part
restored. "-Abraham Ziegler.
In old age the mucous membranes be-
come thicIened and partly lose their
function. This leads to partial loss of
hearing, smell and taste, as well as di-
gestive disturbances. Pe-ru-na corrects
all this by its specific operation on all
the mucous membranes of the body.
One bottle will convince anyone. once
used and Pe-ru-na becomes Il lifelong
standby with old and young.
If you do not derive prompt and salts

LINCOLN'S HOME FOR SALE.
Farm where President Once Lived
In the Market.

EVANSVILLE. Ind, March 15.-The
old Lincoln farm in the heart of Lin
coin City, Spencer county. will be sold
for delinquent taxes. FoY years the
taxes on the farm have not been paid,
and the county officials have decided
to offer the farm for sale. Attempts
heretofore have been made to turn the
farm into Il park and to secure from
congress an appropriation for this pur-
pose, and this may be done after the
farm shall pass into other hands.
The old cottage that stood on the
farm, in which Abraham Lincoln lived
was removed to New York many years
ago and was sold for several thousand
dollars. The commissioners of Spcn-
Ger county have received many letters
from people over the country wanting
TO buy the farm, and bidders will
doubtless be numerous when the tax
sale shall be held. The mother of Lin
coin is buried on the farm. The burial
lot is kept in good condition by the
commissioners. The county received Il
deed for the lot several years ago.
The late Governor Mount of this state
advocated turning the farm into Il park
and brought the matter to the attention
of the legislature, but nothing was
done

than usual. There was the ordinary num-
ber Of persons transacting business. but
there was no additional staff of clerks and
no hustle to show that payment of E5,-
600, 900 was being made.
j, Pierpont Morgan, Jr.. said that the
payments were being made according to
the agreement. A few individuals had
called in person, but most Of the White
Star shareholders had transacted their
business through the banks The payments
had. of course. been made 10y check. but il
