HEALTHY WOMEN
Praise Pe-ru-na as a Cure and
Preventative of Catarrhal
Disorders.

] Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 81 Bassett
street, Albany, N. Y, writes:
81 have always dreaded the fall
and winter because of my extreme
liability TO catch cold, when catarrhal
trouble would quickly develop
through my entire system which 1t
would take weeks to drive away. I
am thankful to say that since I have
taken Peruna, I do not have any rea-
son to dread this any more. Last
fall when 1 suffered with my old
trouble / took Peruna and I'm nine
days was completely cured and since
that time, if have been at all ex-
posed to the damp, wet or cold
weather, Ifake dose or two of Pc
runa and 1t throws out any hint of
sickness from my system. / gladly
indorse It, "-Miss Elizabeth Uber.
Mrs. VIM. Dewey, Saranac Lake, N.
Y, is second cousin of Admiral Dewey.
In recent letter she says:
"Peruna is the most valuable of
any remedy that have ever used for
coughs, colds, etc. cheerfuily rec
On1mend 1t as a certain cure If used
according to directions. Mrs. VIM.
Dewey.
Miss Rosa Gerbing, a popular
society woman of Crown Point, Ind,
writes:
"Lsst winter I took long drfve
In the country, and being too fhingiy
clad caught a bad cold which settled
ON my lungs, and which could not
seem to shake off I had heard a
great deal of Peruna for colds and
Cafarrh and bought a bottle to try.
I am pleased fiat did for 1t brought
speedy relief. II only took two bot
ties and consider this money well
spent.
You have firm friend in me,
and NOT only advise its use to my
friends, but have purchased several
bottles to give to those without the
means to buy, ard have noticed
without exception that Ii has brought
about a speedy cure wherever II has
been used. Hiss Rosa Gerbirg.
To neglect cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as anyone discovers
the first symptoms of catching cold he
should at once begin the use of Peruna
according to directions on the bottle,
and the cold is sure to pass away with
out leaving any bad effects.
Unless this is done the cold is almost
sure to end in the second stage of ca
tarrh which is making so many lives
miserable. If Peruna was taken every
time one has cold or cough chronic
catarrh would be practically an I'M
known disease.
II you donot derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased TO give you his valuable
advice gratis. i

The Beard of Mayor and Alderman
held a called meeting Thursday mig mt.
from an adjourned meeting OF last
Thursday night.
Very little important business was
transacted except two changes made in
the personnel OF the board. On motion
of Alderman Titcomb, the offices of
Frank. Bennett. alderman from the
bird ward, and ]. A. Lavender,
alderman from the fourth ward. were
declared vacant because both of these
gentlemen have moved out of the
wards they were representing. Mr..
Bennett was then elected alderman
from the third ward and Mr.. Willard
+. Worley was elected alderman from
the fourth ward. Both gentlemen
qualified and entered at once upon the
discharge of their arduous duties.
The petition of large number OF
citizens and butchers of the city,
asking the board t. amend the sunday
law so as to prohibit the opening OF
butcher shops or running of meat
wagons for the purpose OF selling meat
on Sunday, was read to the board. On
motion of Alderman White the
pet1tlon was tabled. 1t was the SEN
timent of the Board that the law
allowing meat shops to open on
Sunday was only an enabling act, and
did not force the butchers to open their
shops on Sunday unless they wanted to
do SO; ana that if they dld not desire
to open on Sunday, they could close.
And that if any one meat dealer In
sisted on keeping his shop open after
all the other dealers agreed to close,
tue latter could avail themselves OF the
sta Q law, which prohibits any busl-
ness house from running on Sunday.
The following members voted to table
the petition: Digger, White, Bennett,
Lipecomb, Wilkins.
Against tabling: Titcomb and Frier-
son.
Alderman Digger stated that he
signed the pet ton but that so macy had
asked him since to vote against it that
he thought he ought to do it.
Alderman Bennett reported that the
street lamp at the corner OF Galloway
and Eleventh streets was giving very
unsatisfactory service, aud the matter
WAS referred to the street committee.
| An ordinance repeating an ordinance
hiblting the selling on the streets
passed it's second reading.
Il
An application from Messrs. FrIerson
and Brown for $500 damages for the
building of the underpass on South
Main street was presented and was
referred to the street committee. The
petitioners, among other things on
which they state they have been
damaged. ask for $25 for destruction
of shade trees. 800 for being elevated
above the street. and 1885 for the
erection of rock wall against their
premises.
DIR. W. A. Smith made application
for a pavement IN front OF his home
on School street, and this was referred
to the Street committee.
The fire committee reported that II
Eau given the contract for Sl,0oo
worth of new hose for the fire depart
ment.
The board then adjourned.

The "Wise" Insurance Man.

A few years after the civil war b.
H. Ingram WAS agent at Sedalla for
Milwaukee life insurance company.
At about that time the company raised
the limit of it's beneticiarles to $50, 900
and asked Mr.. ingram TO write few
policies for that sum. The president OF
the company offered to maze liberal
terms to five men whom Mr.. Ingram
might select. He chose Col. A. ID.
James. Capt. John NJ. Sneed. John X.
Barrett, John T. Head and Maj.
Richard III. Melon. Ali of these agreed
to be insured, and MIR. Ingram for
warded their papers. A few days later
he received wOrd from the head office
that Jaynes, Sneed and Barrett had
been accepted, but that Head and
Melton mad been rejected. He tried
hard to get Head ana Melton accepted,
but the company positively refused,
saying they mad physical disabilities
that made them bad risks. The result
shows what keen foresight insurance
men sometimes display and also illus
trates the uncertainty Of human life.
The president of the company, the
examining surgeon, the man who
wrote the policies. and the three men
who were accepted are now all dead,
but MIR. Head and Mag. Melton, the two
bad risks are still living and en-
Joying good health at green old age.
Mr.. Head is at Sedalia, and has
served his district In Congress. Maj.
Melton resides at Clifton. Kansas

Sun SETS Tw icea DAY.

Perhaps few people know that there
is one place in the world where the
sun sets twice daily. This place is
said to be at Leek, in Statfordshire,
England. The Chicago Tribune.
which tells the story, says THE
reason of this is that n jagged noun
tain is situated 70 the west OF the
town, and in the evening the sun sets
behind it and darkness comes on.
I hen is the first sunset, the gas lamps
are LIT, and apparently night has set
in. But 1t mas not, for IN the space
OF an hour or so the sun reappears
again through he opening at the side
of the mountain and daylight again
rpears. Artificial lights are extin-
guished and daylight again prevails
until the sun descends below the open
ing and the second sunset follows and
night comes to stay.

be held in fifty counties IN the
State, which embraced all the counties
in the State which are without pro
