She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
ess-Cured by
Peruna.

MRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent
lV1 Superintendent Of the w. G. T. U.
headquarters, at Galesburg, ILL.,, was for
ten years one Of the leading women there.
Her husband, when living, was first
President Of the Nebraska Wesleyan
University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In q letter written from 401 Sixty
seventh street, W., Chicago, ILL.,, Mrs.
Fleharty says the following in regard to
Peruna:
eHaving lived a very active life as wife
and working partner of a busy minister,
my health failed me a few years ago. I
lost my husband about the same time,
and gradually I seemed to lose health
and spirit. My daughter is a confirmed
invalid, and we both felt great need of
an i~nvigorator.
zone of my neighbors advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was in7mediate-
ly secured and q great change took
place In my daughters as we'll as In
my own health. Orr appetifes I'M
proved very greatly, tho digestion
seemed much helped, and restful sleep
soon improved us, so that we seemed
like new women.
"I wouId not be without Peruna for
ten times its cost"-Mrs. Anna B.
Fleharty.
What used TO becalled female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. It 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 the first OF
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
q woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
snbject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using it and prais'
ing it. Peruna is not a 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.

Col. Tillman % Trial.

asN So61 o9oO~~" w
The much talked of case of the
State against Colonel James 81. Till
man. charged with killing Editor n.
G. Gopzales, in the city Of Columbia
on the 18Th January of this year, was
called for trial in the Sessions Court
of Lexington county, Monday morn.
ing, the case having been ordered
here from Richland county BY Judge
D. A Townsend presiding, upon a
motion for a change of venue made
by the counsel for the defense who
alleged that their client could not
obtain q fair and impartial trial in
that county by reason Of the preju-
dice existing there against him.
Many sensational reports have
been sent abroad concerning this
case by newspaper correspondents,
which have been proven to have had
no foundation in fact, except in the
Imagination of the writer's. There
has been no excitement here whatever
over this trial. The number OF per-
sons in attendance upon court this
week has been, considering that the
trial of q murder case was in pro-
gress unusually small. Indeed there
WAS q much larger crowd in attend
ance upon the first week Of court
when only local cases were called for
trial than there has yet been during
the present trial. At no time during
the progress of the proceedings has
the court house been uncomfortably
crowded, and at times empty and
sparsely filed benches" have been
tae rule. Lexington is handling the
people in a comfortable manne and
there is ample room for the accom-
mediation all who may require it.
The most surprising incident so
for connected with the trial was the
quickuess in selecting the jury, only
about three hours being consumed in
completing the panel and the regular
yenire not being exhausted. 1t was
generally believed that at least a day
and ahalf would be required to select
the jury. Not one of the jurors
whose name was called was objected
to by reason OF having expressed an
opinion as to the guilt or innocence
of the prisoner, OF could not make an
impartial Juror.
Solicitor Thurmond then announced
that the only criminal case pending
was that against James 81. Tillman,
but he asked the indulgence of the
court until he could receive some an
swers from kilograms sent in reference
to the sttendan,s of witnesses. He
had special reference, he said, to 0.
D. Black, who is a witness for the
nrosecntion. hut who was in 8 rail-
road wreck at Hamburg last week,
and who is now in an Augusta hospi-
tai. Court took a recess until 1870.
At IL o'clock the solicitor announc-
ed that the state was ready to pro-
coed and asked the sheriff to bring in
the prisoner. He said that the state
was ready to arraign the prisoner and
proceed to the empanelling Of the
july, but would not b ready to be-
gin taking testimony until 8 o'clock.
After a brief consultation between
the attorneys on either side, Colonel
Croft asked was Mr.. Ambrose T..
Gonzales in court. The reply being
in the affirmative, he asked whether
Mr.. Gonzales had obeyed the order
to bring files Of The State newspaper
from April Is, 1902, to September
80, 1902. Being informed that the
