TROUBLE OVER A ROADWAY
Farmer Attempts TO Tear Down OBJ
structIon Across old Highway
and Fight Ensues.

WEST POINT, Neb., March 25.-(Special)
The controversy about the old Blair road,
which has been in the courts Of this county
for the last two years, threatens TO assume
serious proportions. By a late decree Of
the district court the farmers owning land
through which this road passes, have fenced
1t up on their respective places, thus fore
ing the travel onto the section lines. This
is resented by other farmers who ignore the
order and injunction Of the district court,
and they are tearing down the fences and
driving to town over the track OF the old
road. The road runs diagonally from the
southeast corner Of the county TO this city,
and cuts up some valuable lands.
On Saturday George p. Hoy, a farmer,
living on the line Of the road, attempted
to tear up a fence placed across the old
road by the Murray boys. This they re-
sented and a frscas occurred. during which
Murray received a severe cut over the head
from a cane In the hands Of Hoy. Hoy was
arrested and fined $50 in Justice court and
appealed the case. Each side OF the contro-
versy has ample financial backing and feel
ing is strong. The United States authorities
have been appealed to by Postmaster
Krause. who complains Of a stoppage of
the mails over the disputed roadway.

"-HE season OF catching cold is upon
us. The cough and the sneese and
the nasal twang are to be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh,
the most common and dreadful of diseases,
is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gem
orally begins. A person catches cold.
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness Of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has a
cold all the while seemingly, more or less
discharge from the nose. hawking, splitting,
frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils
stopped up, full feeling in the head, and
sore, infamed throat
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure a. common
cold. thus preventing chronic catarrh.
Miss Alice o'Neill, 312 Adams street,
Brooklyn, n. Y, writes:
Ell cannot say TOO much In favor of
PeruRR. About n year ago 1 was COM
pIetelY worn out; had serious cold
and a hard cough which seemed TO be
in danger of affecting mX lungs. II
my system had been I'm n stronger
condition 1t would have been much
easier to throw on this cold, but 1
could not seem to get any relief until

did the work thoroughly. Within n

While many people have been cured Of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle OF Pc
runa, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh be-
comes thoroughly fixed, more than one
bottle is necessary to complete a cure.
Peruna has cured cases innumerable OF ca
tarrh of twenty years standing. II Is the
best, If not the only internal remedy for
chronic catarrh IN existence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slightest
symptom of cold or sore throat at this sea-
son OF the year and thus prevent what is
almost certain to end in chronic catArrh.
