A letter recently received by DR.. Hartman
from the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland, Ohio
reads as follows:
We have lately given Peruna a trial, for
though the medicine was not new TO us, we
had not tried ii sufficiently to testify to its
worth as we are now ready to do.
" We find Peruna an excellent tonic and a
valuable remedy for catarrhal affections of the
throat. We have recommended it TO our
friends and have good REPORTS from Them as

ST. PAUL, Nov. 12-Superintenden
Eagan, of the Great Northern, has been
kidnapped by bandits, or killed by
bears. This is the conclusion reached
by officials of the Great Northern road
here. President Hill has sent all the
available men on the northern division
into the mountains in the search for
the missing official Superintendent
Eagan's private car stands on the track
at Bolton, a hamlet in the Rocky
mountains, where his guests are pa
tiently awaiting tidings.
This morning fifty men who were
sent out yesterday to scour the country
returned worn out without discover
ing any signs of Eagan.
The country is infested with bears
and mountain lions. and it is thought
he might have fallen victim to the
wild animals. At noon today no word
had been received from the west that
thows any light on the mystey.

husband, it is said word came to John
Wilgus through another medium that
his wife wanted him to marry Mrs.
Griffin. He did not know of any Mrs.
Griffin, but at once started out to find
her, in accordance with the alleged
wishes of his deceased wife. They
met. John told his story and she told
hers. Both were impressed, and in
spite of the fact that they had never
met before they became engaged at
their first meeting and were married
Within three days.
Each is firmly of the opinion that
their marriage was ordained on high,
and that perfect happiness must be the
result of their following the spititual
guidance of those who had gone be-
fore. The second Mrs. Wilgus is
now the mistress of the handsome
home in Proctorville into which she
believes she was directed by the for
mer Mrs: Wilgus and her own hus-

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, Nov 12.-
John Wilgus, farmer and merchant
residing near Proctorville, was married
to Mrs. Lizzie Griffin. They have
konwn each other for three days, and
both are spiritualists. They say they
were told by spirits to marry.
Mr.. Wilgus lost his wife by. death
several months ago, and about the
same time Mrs. Lizzie Griffin lost her
husband. Before his death the latter
told his wife that he would communicate
with her after his death and tell her
his wishes. Through a medium, she

two weeks ago, it is alleged, the mes

but made up her mind that she would

ity. He can not be tried by court
martial, as he is no longer amenable
to military law, and he can not be
reached by civil process, as the alleged
crime was committed during martial
administration in the Philippines.
The circumstances of the case and
the remoteness of the event render the
whole incident a peculiar one, and in
a sense protects the culprit from pun
ishment
! Secretary Rooot is a good deal ex-
ercised over the whole matter, and was
in favor of permitting no publicity to
attend the Investigation and it's re-
suits, but the report and its contents
were accidentally disclosed today. This
partial publicity will probably result
in the department giving out all the
facts attending the case.
The officer accused of the murder is
Cantain Brownell, late OF the Twenty
sixth Volunteer Infantry. He is said
to be in the postal service in Boston.

SECRETS OF Fl MINIS TRUNK
Threaten to Make a Scandal in a SW6ll
6hiC0OO HOt6I.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov, 12.-After be-
coming engaged to two young women
at the same time, and promising each
a splendid brown stone mansion in
New York, S. H. Swan, known as the
Beau Brummel of the Windemere ho-
tel. has left the aristocratic hostelry,
in Hyde Park. and has left also an un-
paid board bill
On November 81 the hotel manage
ment will dispose of his belongings at
public auction, and there certainly will
be some spirited bidding In the
trunks are letters said to have been
written by many women, guests of the
Windemere and the Chicago Beach
hotel. Rumor has it that in these
trunks and among these letters there
are epistles which might figure in di-
vorce proceedings if husbands secured
them. 1t is said that when the auc-
tion is held women, or their commits
sioners, will be the principal bidders.
Mr. Swan came to the Wndemere sew
eral months ago. He was a fine
looking fellow, who had the appear
ance of one with money, and as long
as he had eight trunks the proprietor
did not press his bill. Because of
this Mr. Swan forgot to get receipt
from the hotel.
At the Chicago Beach hotel one night
Mr.. Swan asked young woman to
marry him. if the story is true. She

Mother and Son

WINSTED, Conn, Nov. 12-The
case of Mrs. Charlotte N. Schermerhor1

mnrhorn Of New York, to recover mon
ey pT. f"r his education at Yale and

Europe, is now occupying the attention
of Judge Wheeler and jury in the
Superior Court at Litchfield.
Mother and son have been at odds
for several years, during which time
she has brought three or four suits
against him. She says it cost her $4,000
to send him through college, and the
wedding trip cost $4,000. The defense
contends that Mrs. Schermerhorn gave
the money to her son and did not lend
1t to him. Both the defendant and the
plaintiff own summer places at South
hampton, L. l., and are very wealthy.

also that his distinguished appearance
had it's influence, but whatever this
was, she told him she would become
his wife.
Ten minutes later she met her dear
est friend, who also lives at the Beach.
To her she confided the information
that she happened to be the happiest
girl in the world. The second girl
asked the reason.
Because I'm engaged to marry Mr..
Swan" said the young woman. And
then the second girl declared it was no
such thing-that she was engaged to
marry him herself.
Miss No. went to her room, and, Of
course, told some friends her secret.
The result was that when Mr.. Swan
came downstairs the next morning a
score of women wanted to interview
him. It happened, too, that the man
ager of the hotel wished to hold con-
versation with him.

"All right; I'll fix it up" said Mr..
Swan. With that he walked out or

Besides the love letters which the
trunks are supposed to contain, there
are eighteen suits of clothes. a dozen
hats, ten pairs of shoes, nearly hum
dred neckties, twenty shirts, lots OF

a wife and can't find one. In fact, it
is absolutely necessary that Mr.. Bailey
should wed, as his word is at stake.
When the politicians at Wichita
nominated Mr.. Bailey, it was with the
agreements that he should find a Kan
sas girl for wife 1t was one of the
issues of the contest, and Mr.. Bailey,
confirmed bachelor though he was,
promised the voters that if elected he
would install bride in the executive
mansion. Now the governor-elect
states that he has diligently sought
wife, and has been unable to find one.
The voters declare that he must keep
his pledge, and further to enable him
to find a wife he has been permitted to
search outside of the State for one.
d. J. Hanna, lieutenant governor
elect, promised at the State convention
that if the Republicans would nominate
him for governor, he would find a wife
in; Kansas before the day of his in
auguration. AS he was nominated
for the second place on the ticket he
now pleads that he is not bound to
comply with that promise.
While the Republicans reluctantly
admit the logic of Mr.. Hanna's argu-
MAAt, they are also anxious that he,
too. should wed. He is a bachelor,
and double wedding, with the sue
cessful candidates as the bridegrooms,
would make every one in the State
happy.
The session of the legislature two
years ago appropriated money for the
purchase of an executive mansion. A
$4,000 home for the governor was Sc
Iected, and Governor Stanley, who re-
tires in January, was the first execu-
tive to occupy it.
The politicians are exceedingly proud
of the executive mansion, and do not
propose to have it occupied as bach
-elor's hall. Society Of the State
looks upon the mansion as the place
for its annual ball and other social
functions, and matrons demand that
the governor-elect install a mistress in
the house if he wishes to occupy it.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov 12.-Un-
able to withstand the shame of discov-
cry that he had attempted to rob his
friend, John McAtee shot and killed
himself at an early hour this morning.
Some few hours earlier, Frank H. Lane
had been halted near his residence and
commanded, at the muZzle of a revol-
yer, to hold up his hands
Instead of complying, Lane rushed
his assailant and a struggle ensued.
For ten minutes the men fought for
mastery. Each had hold of the re-
velver, but it's aim was so dubious that
McAtee, whose hand held the butt and
commanded the trigger, evidently was
not sure which of the twain the bullet
would hit if the weapon were dis
charged. During the struggle Lane
recognized in the highwayman an old
and confidential friend
The two men worked beside each
other in a local railroad Office. 1t is
clearly established today that McAtee
knew it was Lane he halted, though
Lane did not recognize the masked
highwayman until they fought. The
struggle for possession of the pistol
resulted in McAtee's running hurriedly
to his room. Lane informed the po-
lice of the fight. On his informatio
they repaired to McAtee's room. There
they learned that on reaching his
apartment, McAtee had committed su-
icide a few minutes previously.
