A great many remedies to ,emporar'
lily relieve catarrh have been devised
from time to time, such as sprays
snuffs, creams and other local applica
tions, but, as rule, the medical pro-
fession has little or no enthusiasm IN
the treatment of catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
1t therefore created great sensation
in medical circles when Or. Hartman
announced that he had devised COM
pound which would cure catarrh per-
manently.
The remedy was named Peruna and
in short time became known to thou
sands of catarrh sufferers north, south,
east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that
Peruna is radical cure for catarrh be.

Thousands of such letters are on file

When the clerks of the courthouse gro
Gerry, at Washington and Alabama streets
locked the store last night they did not
know they were locking in thief who,
half-hour later. would rob the cash register
Of its contents and break the back door
open to get out.
The store was locked up as usual last
night and none of the clerks noticed the
dark figure crouched beneath one of the
counters. Half an hour after the store was
closed man crawled from his hiding place
and with cat-like steps quietly made his
way to the cash register and robbed it Of
it's contents which. 1t is said, amounted to
about SO. He then made his way to the
rear door and finding it securely locked
gave it a few lusty kicks and was soon
darling up the sidewalk on the street out
side.
The attention of passersby was called to
the open door and the police were notified.

Was Made In Time.

Bicyclemen Morgan and Simon We're
called last night to the residence Of Mrs.
r. C. Dunlap, 314 East Michigan street,
where, it was reported, a burglar in
the house. They made a complete search of
the premises, but. outside of the Dunlap
family and themselves, not living soul
could be found They returned to the police
station satisfied that they had been called
out on a wild goose chase.
Barely half hour later they received
another call to go to the same house, and.
mounting their bicycles. they made a fast
run to the residence of Mrs. Dunlap, where
they found that some one had really en-
tered the house by a side window and had
piled bundle of old papers a shelf in
a cupboard and had set ii afire. The BIZ
cyclemen quickly extinguished the flames,
and another search of the house was made,
but 1t was unavailing.
Mrs. Dunlap said she had been out of the
house for some time early In the evening,
and on her return was sure she heard some
one moving around in one of the rear rooms.
She searched the house with the police and
told them that nothing had been stolen.
The police are of opinion that some enemy
of the Dunlap family attempted to burn the
house down during the absence of the occu-
pants.
