A Woman of National Fame Uses Pe-

A woman or National Fame uses re-
 ru-na in Her Family.
 Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the eminent bar rister of Washington, D. C., Is the only woman who has eyer been candidate for the Presidency of the United States. She is the best known woman in America. As the pioneer of her sex in the leg1l profession she has gathered fame and for tune. In letter to The Peruna Medicine Company she says:
 q have used your Peruna both for myself and my mother, Mrs. Hannah J. Bennett, now in her 88th year and l find 1t an invaluable remedy for cold, catarrh, hay fever and kindred dis eases; also a good tonic for feeble and old people, or those run down, and with nerves unstrung."-Belva A.. Lockwood.
 A cold is the beginning of catarrh. It may cause catarrh of any of the internal organs-the head, throat, lungs and storl- ach especially. A remedy that will cure a cold, then, would cure all these direct effects of colds. Peruna is such a remedy We have letters from all over the United States attesting to this fact. The poor and rich alike use and recommend it. A book of testimonials in the exact words of the writer sent to any address free of charge by The Peruna Medicine Co.,, Co., lumbus. Ohio.
 Colds are considered one of the neces- sary ills of life. One is liable to catch cold both summer and winter. Very often a cold is the starting point or cause of a lengthy and dangerous catarrhal dis ease. Colds are always dangerous and should never be neglected day.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from. the use of Peruna write at once to pr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

 BEEN ONLY A JOKE
REPUBLICANS WHO RECEIVED THREATENING LETTERS iNVEs- TIGATINe FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCOVERING THE SENDERs.

The investigation for the purpose of finding out who sent the threatening let ters to prominent republicans the latter part of last week has been without result So far.
 It is not thought any more letters were received by any of the republicans yes- terday. though the ones sent the day be- fore were discussed by many people.
 The matter is being treated largely as a joke, though some seem to believe that negroes were behind 1t.
 A number of negroes said yesterday that they regretted that the mysterious letters had been charged to any member of their race. They said they deplored it, and were as indignant over it as the white people.
