Newport weekly independent., 1902-08-29

Captain o. Bertoletto of the Italian Barque "Lincelles," in recent letter from the chief office of the Italian Barque Lincclles, Pensacola, Fla. writes:
 "I have suffered for several years with chronic cafarrh of fhe stomach. The doctors prescribed for me without nyreceiving inc least benefit. Through one of your pamphlets began the use of Peruna, and two bottles have en- fireIy cured me. Irecommend Peruna to all my friends. 70. Berf0Ieffo.
 In catarrh of the stomach, as well as catarrh of any part of the body, Peruna is the remedy. As has been often said if Peruna will cure catarrh of one part, it will cure catarrh of any other part of the body.
 Catarrh is catarrh wherever located, and the remedy that will cure it any where will cure it everywhere.

HARE-BRAINED PUBLISHERS,
Story of the Attack on Bluefields, Nicaragua, in July, Fly Hnnd-
 full of FiIibusters.

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-Carlos Oyerend, planter and merchant of Corinto, Nicaragua, has arrived here from Central America. He brings the news that, about July 25, a party of political conservatives of Nicara qua, aided by a few Colombian insur- gents, landed at Bluefields, in small schooner, and attacked the town in old-time flibustering fashion. The assaulting party numbered hardly more than hundred men, and most of them were promptly captured by the government troops and placed in jail. The others escaped in their schooner. Overend says the reason for the attack by such small party is not known in Nicaragua. While death might legally be inflicted upon the invaders, Overend is of the opin- ion that they will not be treated harshly. Except for the incident at Bluefelds, the political situation in Nicaragua is reported to be very quiet

have given me almost complete relief, and 1 am sure that Q continuation of then will effect n permanent cure. Pe- runa is surely wonderful remedy for catarrhal affections.--J. D. Botllin.
 This is case of ca tarrh of the stomach which had run for twenty five years, according to his statement, and Peruna has at once come to his relief, promptly accomplishing for him more benefit than he had been able to find in all other remedies during quarter of century.
 It stands to reason that a man of wealth and influence, like a Congress- man of the great United States, has left no ordinary means untried and no stone unturned to find a cure.
 If such cures as these do not verify the claim not only that dyspepsia is due to catarrh of the stomach, but also that Peruna will cure catarrh of the stom- ach, it is impossible to imagine how any evidence could do so.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Perunas write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

Judge" Gallick, court commissioner. Is
not in the habit Of performing marriage
ceremonies for less than S. but made an
exception to the rule yesterday.
A large, sinewy appearing man. accom-
panied by his sweetheart, appeared in
the probate court yesterday looking for
a legal union. They wanted a marriage
license, and an accommodating clerk from
the probate office piloted them to the Of
flee of the clerk of the district court.
where the coveted license was procured
without much ado.
Next came the most important part of
the programme-the performance Of the
ceremony, and as the couple had no
particular ideas on the subject, the ac-
commodating clerk suggested that the
services of the court commissioner be
enlisted. Accordingly the wedding party
proceeded to his office.
In the meantime, word had been pass
ed around that there was to be a
courthouse" wedding, and the guests,
IN the form of clerks and stenograph-
ers, commenced to assemble in the COM
missioner's office to witness the cere-
mOny.
The commissioner performed the sim
pie ritual services with a long face and
sombre manner, and the thing was soon
accomplished.
''Well, L suppose that is all"
yes" remarked the court commits
sioner, cts all. when 1 get my five"
The husband started-he had appar-
emily forgotten himself.
Beg pardon, judge, I'm a trTHe ex-
cited today-but no harm is meant" ne
answered suavely. Whats the dam
age?"
Five dollars"
The new husband thrust his hand into
his trousers pocket. and produced green
backs in such profusion, that the sten0-
graphers trembled. and the clerks felt
faint at heart. He picked one out Of his
hand and tossed it to the judge
with an ease Of manner that would have
done credit to Pierpont Morgan, and with
his wife left the office.
Mr.. Gallick placed the crisp greenback
in coy corner of his pocket without
locking at the denomination. and the
guests returned to their arduOus tasks.
Later in the afternoon the judge want
ed to spend the greenback, and he took
it from his pocket Various sensations
passed over him, when he discovered
that the bill was a two-spot, and the
he had been duped. He proceeded up the
corridor muttering incOherently.
But the accommodating clerk had
heard Of the deception, and the other
guests soon heard the news. There was
a marriage reunion, but without guests
of honor. Various opinions were passed.
THAT fellow is a cheap guy" ven
tured a clerk. while the lady steno-
grapher end was kept up with, ooh,
what a joke"
But the Judge" couldn't see the
joke, and remanded the greenback back
to his pocket, and concluded that be
could not afford to spend It.
