A JUDGES WIFE ,zlSS S%'5a sa4saau sE
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
IeSs--Cured by
Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from l2I7
West S3rd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi, as fol.
lows:
81 suffered for years with pain in the
small of my back and right side. 1t in
terfered often with my domestic and
social duties and never supposed that
I would be cured, as the DOCTORS medi-
cine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately a member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that decided to try it.
Although started in with little faith, I
felt so much better in q week that 1 felt
encouraged.
81 took 1t faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able TO say
that am entirely cured. Words fail TO
express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more is the best thing could wish
for, and thanks TO Peruna 1 enjoy that
how."-MINNIE T.. McALLISTER.
What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. Ii has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause Of most cases
Of female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among tho first Of
Americas great physicians 10 mako this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection Of these organs would not be
subject to female disease, He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found 1t so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female disease ever known. Every
where the women are using IL and prais-
ing it. Peruna is not palliative sim
ply; it cures by removing the cause Of
female disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women Of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.
Miss Phoebe Cary Sheffield, writes
from Seguin, Texas, as follows:
"I have followed your directions and
treatment, and viii always thank you
for your kindness. Your medicine is the
only medicine that gave me relief from
heavy pains in my chest, on account of
which could hardly rest at night. Sew

Proud of Missouri Democracy

In great speech delivered last week
at Jefferson City, the venerable and
venerated Senator f. M. Cockrell said:
II am proud of our Democratic
administrations in Missouri. Not a
dollar of the many millions collected
in taxes has ever been stolen, wasted,
squandered or lost by any Democratic
State administration. No political
party in any State in the United
States has so long, for so many years,
given the State better or equally as
good administrations.
mot dollar of our School Funds
has over been lost. stolen, sanandarad
or misappropriated. / challenge the
Republican leaders and press to name
the man, women or child that has
taken or received illegally or wrong
fully one dollar, one cent Of our State
money. They cannot do IL and ought
to hide their heads in shame for their
accusations and ISLANDERS.

Too Smart For Louisiana, Missouri,
Elks.

LOUISIANA, Mo, Sept. 26.- The
fair weather to-day brought out an
immense attendance to the Elks' car
niyal and free street fair being held
here this week. The comic parade
was given at 2 p. m, and was an anus
Ing and successful event. The hood
lum wagon of the Elks' kangaroo
court, with couple OF big policemen
and large crowd of friends, went to
the Chicago & Alton depot to meet
the afternoon train, on which Armin
f. Orthweln and bride were to return
from Mexico, it being the intention to
take them to the kangaroo court and
fine them. Some friend, however,
wired Orthwein, and the couple got
of the train at Bowling Green.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The feature of the day was the trial
of Armin #, Orthweln, Of st. Louis,
and bride Of two days, who was for
merly Miss Jessie NJ. Tinsley. They
returned to the city to-day. The kan
garoo ''hoodlum wagon" met the train
on which they were expected, but to
elude arrest they left the train at
Bowling Green. Their plan was
learned, however, and a jolly crowd
in the 'hoodlum wagon" went out to
meet them.
They were arrested, hauled through
the streets and locked in "jail."
They we're tried on the charge of
clipping before great crowd Of friends.
John w. Matson prosecuted and ID.
A. Ball defended. They were con-
vlcted, of course, and fined, and then
sent to the home of the brides moth
er, where they received forgiveness.
