81 now take pleasure in notifying you
that my husband has entirely recovered
from catarrh. He is a well man today,
thanks to you and Peruna. He took six
bottles of your medicine as directed, and
it proved to be just the thing for him.
His appetite is good and every thing he
eats seems to agree with him. His
cough has left him and he is gaining in
flesh, and seems to be well every way

catarrh in one location will cure it in

of catarrhal diseases. It cures catarrh

of praise for Peruna from 973 Cuyler

"My home is never without Perune,

years that there is no remedy that will
at once alleviate suffering and actually
cure, as Peruna does. Four bottles COM
pletely cured me of catarrh of the head

day or two it has thrown the sickness
out of the system."-Mrs. Frederick

SAVING SOME ON PENSIONS
Commissioner Hare Cuts His News
paper Information n Little
Closer.
CFrom a Stan Correspondent.l

WASHINGTON, June 9.-(Special.) .)-Eu-
gene F. Ware, commissioner of pensions
on last Friday caused an order to be issued
Withholding the postofflce addresses of per-
sons to whom pensions have been granted.
1t has been the custom for nearly fifteen
years to give to the newspapers of the
country not only the names and postofice
addresses of such persons as are granted
pensions, but to also give the character of
the pension, whether an original claim,
reissue, an increase or a Widows claim
and also in the case of men the war in
which they served. designating whether
Mexican, civil war, Indian wars or Span
ish-American Now, however Mr. Ware
for economical reasons, will give only the
name of the pensioner, the amount of his
pension and of course the state in which
he resides. The commissioner claims that
by this proceeding he can dispense with
the services of at least one clerk who has
been engaged in getting out these lists for
the newspapers and in giving only a par
tial list save half days time for another
clerk. The lists now given out are ut
terly valueless to many of the Washington
correspondents, as in many of the larger
states newspapers do not care to print the
names of pensioners for the entire states
only wishing to use those who reside within
the radius where their papers circulate
r1ost widely Under the present system
without the postoffice addresses It is ab-
solutely impossible to tell In what portion
or section of a state the pensioner NAV
reside. The following are the names Of
pensioners residing in Nebraska, Iowa and
South Dakota who have been granted pen-
sions since May %:

the court as to whether in his best judg-
mont there was any chance for the Jury to

II was rumored that one OF the Jurors
was suffering from a temporary ft of in

later when DR.. Finn was called to attend
him. The doctor stated that with rest and
sleep the Juror would recover

the outcome thus far and he received
numerous congratulations after IL became
known how the jury stood No member
of the jury contested or voted for a

FREMONT, Neb., June 9--(Special)- 1.-THE
county board met as a board of equaliza-

to come before them thus far is the appeal
of s. Gayton. ST., from the refusal of the
city council to reduce his assessment. Mr.
Clayton had commenced building a house
in the city before April l and claims that
the assessor put too high valuation on
It and for the reason that the lumber had
already been assessed to the dealer. The
board will meet in regular session Friday
and a number of drainage ditch PROPOSE
tions will come before it,
