Such a Medicine is
Peruna.

THOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day Of old cases
of chronic catarrh that have re-
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna.
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo-
pie. A large proportion Of these letters
are written by men and women promi-
nent in business and professional cir
cles and many Of them well known from
ocean to ocean
Colonel John Franklin Waters occu-
pies a prominent position among the
leading trial lawyers of Chicago. He
has probably obtained more verdicts
against corporations in suits for personal
injuries than any man of his age in the
United States, and during his practice
Of over fifteen years he has not lost a
single case in the Supreme Courts OF
Illinois and Missouri. He is a hard
worker and has the energy Of four men.
For a number Of years he had been
afflicted with chronic catarrh and hav-
ing recently been thoroughly cured of
his old affection, an interview was OBJ
tanned with him by one of our reporters
In which he gave the following state
ment to the public:

before Central Female College The
officers dispersed them, arreSting

morning the trouble was renewed
aud the boys, relying upon numbers, I'M
dertoOk to resist the officers of the
law with inSolence. A large number
Of them were arrested and locked ia
the county Jail.
The details of happenings Of this
sort are very Improbable inquiries,
but it is due to be said and should be
said, even by the warmest friends Of
the boys that the behavior of those
who were engaged 10 the disturbance
was discreditable to them, calculated
to iniure the reputation Of those who
had no part in it, and not to be
justified by any weak reflection that
'boys will be boys. -

PLUNGED THROUGH THE DRAW.

Traffic on the Pennsylvania Railroad
was delayed for scveralhours last Friday
morning on account of the engine and
two cars of the local freight plunging
into Bush river at the draw of that
bridge. The accident occurred at about
Z o'clock, only a short time after Presi-
dent Roosevelt's special train, in which
he was returning from New York to
Washington, passed over the same road.
The draw had been opened to allow a
vessel to pass through, and the engineer,
Bart" Nolan, could not control his en-
CINE, because of the frost on the rails,
hence the precipitation of engine, tender
and one car into the river. The other car
was thrown in for the purpose of clearing
the track. The train was in charge of
Conductor John Dovan, and only the en-
ginecr was injured. He sustained only
slight bruises, Notwithstanding his fall
with the heavy engine into the water.
Wrecking trains were soon upon the
scene clearing the tracks, and by II
o'clock traffic was resumed. Before that
time passenger trains were run on
the Baltimore and Ohio Road by means
of the connecting line above Swami Creek
and the one at Bay View. The wrecked
engine is still in the river; preparations,
however, which require at least a week S
time, are being made for its early removal
The engineer is not ccnsured for the acct,
dent, as he applied the air brakes as soon
as he saw the danger signal, but as above
stated, the tracks were not in a normal
condition.

THE HARTFORD FAIR.

The Board of Directors of the Hartford
County Agricultural Society met in Bel
Air on Monday and decided to change
the date of the approaching exhibition
from September Goth. goth, Oct. LIST and
I'd, to August 25th, Goth, 27th and 2Sth.
This action was taken in view of the fact
that it was impossible to remain in the
Maryland and Virginia Racing Circuit,
the Baltimore tracks. The directors also
considered the change n favorable one in
view of the fact that the original date
falls at a time when both the farmers and
Gamers are the busiest The first of DC
tober is generally the closing week of the
packing houses, and those agriculturalists
who are not engaged in Eartord's chief
industry, are very apt to be either cutting
corn or seeding wheat ground. Foryears
past it has been the custom, now grown
into disrsc, to hold harvest home at The
Rocks ofDeer Creek. This was considered
as an outing or a picnic, and the occasion
was embraced by the many farmers as a
| time for rest and recreation. The early
date of the coming fair will, In measure,
compensate for this, as the last week in
August is generally slack period which
will allow our industrious people the OPP
portunity of taking little time for them
selves Thecxhibts will all he of much
better character, especially in the vcgeta-
bic department.
Heretofore Harford's date has clashcd
with that of the Trenton Fair, and many
of the PROFESSIONAL exhibitors preferred to
compete for larger premiums. Our asso-
citation will open the State exhibitions,
preceding as it does all other fairs in
Maryland, and we stand an excellent
chance of having the biggest list Of entries
known in the history of the society. The
Fair Association has also entered into an
agreement with Gentleman's Driving
Park, Electric Park and pimlico, which
will form small circuit for racing. This
