In recent letter to DR.. Hartman
Congressman Botkin says:
"My Dear Doctor-It gives me pleas
ure to certify to the excellent curative
qualities of your medicines-Peruna
and Manalin. l have been afflicted
more or less for quarter of century
with catarrh of the stomach and consti-
patton. A residence in Washington
has increased these troubles. A few
bottles OF your medicine have given me
almost complete relief, and am sure
that continuation of them will effect
permanent cure. "-J. D. Botkin.
Mr.. L. F. Verdery, a prominent real
estate agent, of Augusta, Ca, writes:

L. F. Verdery.
The most common form of summer
catarrh is catarrh of the stomach.
This is generally known as dyspepsia.
Peruna cures these cases like magic.

SuperstitiOns Of Royalty.

A few years ago. says London An
swers, King Carlos of Portugal paid a
lengthy visit to England, and one day
he had to speak to a gathering of emf
nent people at a reception in the West
End. The day happened to be Fri
day. and his majesty was upset to the
point of annoyance. In this nervous
condition he CHANGED to kick over Il
flower pot, which fell on the head Of Il
peer who was sitting below the plat
form. King Carlos apologized profuse-
ly, and remarked that. had the Gay
been Saturday, he was sure the acci-
dent would not have happened. See
ing, however, that he had not hurt the
peer. he humorously remarked:
II have been a sportsman all my life,
and bagged much big game; but this is
the first time ever potted the head of
British peer"
1t is said that on one occasion the
Princess Of Wales broke valuable
looking glass. Next day she seemed
terribly upset. and came with tear
full story to her royal husband.
"Oh, I'm so miserable! Yesterday
broke a looking glass. and to-day one
of my poor cats is dead"
The prince Is not particularly fond
of cats, and on the following day sent
for her highness.
ANY more cats dead this morning"
mo" replied the princess. Mortified.
"Why do you ask!'
because went and broke four look
ing glasses yesterday" replied his roy
al highness. laughing.

The bottle of mineral water which was
found on the dresser in the dead mans
room with about two-thirds of the con-
tents gone, was also sent to Kansas City
for analysis with the hope of throwing
some light on the mystery.
Hayden, the negro. offered some testi-
mony which may throw some light on
where the bottle of mineral water came
from. He said they were in South Meal
ester last Wednesday. Mr.. Marston COM
planned that he could not drink water at
South McAlester and inquired where a
drug store was, he wanted to get some
mineral water. Hayden directed him to a
drug store, to which Marston went. He
did not know whether or not he procured
any mineral water there. The next day
they came to Pittsburg. and the partly
emptied bottle found in Marston's room
may have been brought from South Nc
Alester. After examining the witnesses
the jury decided that suspicious circum-
stances warranted the investigation of the
stomach. and it was decided to hold a
post-mortem examination. The examina-
ton showed heart. liver, kidneys and
lungs all in normal condition. but proved
stomach badly congested as by poison.
and proved conclusively that Marston had
not died natural death. The only ques-
ton was, how did he come to take
poison? Judging from the evidence at the
inquest, there are persons in Texas who
were using every endeayor to prevent
Marston from shipping negroes to the
mines at Thurber.f

would be fully disclosed by papers to be
laid before the house. They included de-
mand for compensation for interference
