influences. employed over one hundred hands,

pr. Hartman, the Famous Gyn@colo- glst and Inventor of Pe-ru-na Of- fers to Treat Women Free During the Summer Months.

America is the land of nervous women. The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffer- ing from some form of female diseaso' By far tho greatest number of female troubles are caused by catarrh.
 Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh despair of recovery. Female trouble Is SO common, so prevalent, that they ac- cept 1t as almost inevitable. The great est obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that 1t Is catarrh which Is the source of their illness. In female complaint, ninety nine cases out of one hundred are noth- ing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
 The following letter was recently re- ceived:

CHARGED WITH ASSISTING

Montgomery. June 7.--(Special)-Fre Kriste!ler had hearing before United States Commissioner Elmore today and his bond was fixed a; $SOoO. The charge against Kristelisr !" perjury. It seems that on his trial for appropriating reve- nue stamps he was acquitted by the court at Brooklyn, but was subsequently, in dicted on the charge of perjury in some statement he made as a witness on his own trial.
 There is some uncertainty about the court officials here as to their powers in the case, and the idea is to hold the fug- tive until Judge Jones returns He is un- derstood to be en route home from New York and is expected Monday. Kristeler, however, evinces no desire to get away again and yesterday asked to be taken back to Brooklyn at once without any formaliues about it.
 Curiosity About Barrett.
 Kristeller's intimate friend Mir E. J. Barrett, was to have hearing today on the charge of having aided the fugitive to escape the officers, but the other hearing consumed the day. great deal of curiosity is manifested as to MT. Bar rett who came here some months ago and secured a place as telegraph. editor on the afternoon paper. He soon showed that he is an accomplished newspaper man In every sense. Kristeller was really attracted to Montgomery by the presence of his friend Barrett. The latter went away for two days when first charged with aiding his friend to escape, but came back and laughed at the idea of running away from so frivolous pro- ceeding.
 Both men are great cronies of G. R. McNeil, the Dexter Avenue saloon man. having known him in the East when Me Neil. who is a Camden, Ala, man, was there some time since. McNeil was also accused of complicity in Kristeller's es- cape but was released on his hearing.
 Quit Newspaper Work
 A few days since Barrett bought an in- terest in McNeils saloon, paying a large sum in cash, and he has quit the news paper field. He Is an accomplished fel- low, and they say around the govern ment building that he and Kristelller are about as close kin as brothers. McNeil, however, who knows both well. says there Is nothing In that story. As newspaper man Barrett has taken as much interest in the development of the story and edited copy with as much professional de- light as that with which a war horse sniffs the battle
 Barrett's connection with Kristeller has really come to be the big end of the story, and the public curiosity and interest in him has been drawing business card at the Dexter Avenue saloon.
