HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM2
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on TO occur
TO at least one-halt of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure 10
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function OF
the body. 1t is capable Of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part Of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs,
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timonials sent entirely unsolicited TO
DIR. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:

for years. I can advise any one who
has catarrh Of any part of the body to
take Peruna. My little girl who is
eleven years old had catarrh, but was
cured by Peruna. Before I began to

HARTFORD, KY, FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1908

shall and his assistant at once arrested
all of the men and all admitted their
gnilt.
The men said that on Saturday
night, November IL, they saw the
stranger 90 into a saloon at Pembroke
aud buy bottle of whisky, at which
time he displayed roll of money.
They followed him to the R. T. Shiles
farm. two miles from Pembroke,
where he made FIRE and prepared to
camp for the night. They crept up
behind him as ne sat by the FIRE and
Meriwether struck him on the head
with a club. The body quivered from
the blow and, fearing that the
man was not killed, George Holland
buried a knife In his throat, thus fin.
ishing the work beyond question.
They then went through his pock-
cts aud took away everything he had
including quite a sum Of money,
though the negroes say they do not
know how much there wss of IL.
They divided the money, and In or
der to prevent Identification they cut
of the face and buried the flesh. pull
ed of the shoes and socks and buried
them and cut his clothes to pieces
They then dragged the body some
distance and buried 1t under a pile OF
rails, where It was uncovered by
hogs.
When Gov. Beckham offered a re-
ward of s25o. the county judge $50
and citizens of Pembroke $500 every
body tried to find out the murderers
but in vain. When the finding OF
the body was reported every one OF
the negroes went to the scene and Of
fered their assistance In carrying for
IL aud preparing II for burial.
Along with the men mentioned, Ed
Moseley. also a negro was arrested.
HIS said that he saw the killing from
the road, but that he was afraid to
tell believing that some of the ne
gToes would kill him. All OF the pTis-
oneis were brought here tonight and
lodged in jail.
II Is not impossible that the man
who was murdered was T.. L. Wentz.

appeared In October and has never
been heard of since. He was in the
habit tramping over the country
with money and had possibly wander.

ALL HAIL THE COW.

Eloquent Tributes to Great Foster
 Mother of the Human Race.
 The COW was the subject of enthusi- asm at the New York state dairymen's s convention held. in Ogdensburg. Tn his address of welcome Mayor Hall declar- ed that butter and cheese are the con trolling powers of the universe. All the speakers following Mir. Hall paid trib- ute to the dairy, and ex-Governor w. D. Hoard of Wisconsin wound up the days programme with an apotheosis of the COW. sa...s 5s.s
 Said he: '.To preach the gospel ac- cording to the cow is no small matter. Every man must be educated to under stand so far as he can the great pro- ducer of the country, the COW, than which there is no deeper constructive mystery. The cow is the great foster mother of half the human race, and she should be approached reverently, lovingly, with a tender heart and a sympathetic mind.''
 He spoke eloquently on the maternity of the COW and compared her to the human mother. He begged his audi tors to have greater respect for the COW and to give her more careful treatment, placing on one plane manhood, woman hood, cowhood.

The aHa1r had gone beyond the preservation or few trees. It had become the ques- ton of an ideal. Gradually, in spite of herself the conviction was forcing it. self upon her that the man she had loved was so different from the rest that the greed of the dollar had cor rupted him too. By the mere yielding to her wishes she wanted to prove the suspicion wrong.
 T cannot, Hilda," he answered stead fly.
 You sell me for S1O,OO0! I cannot believe it! Harry, Harry, must put it to you as choice? Don't you love me enough to spare me that?" He did not reply. As long as it re- mafned dilemma he would not reply. He was in the right

 He was face to face with a vital de c1s1on. He experienced no conflict of mind, no hesitation, for the moment no regret. During. all his woods life he had been following diligently the trail he had blazed for his conduct. Now his feet carried him unconscious ly to the same end. There was no oth- CT way out. In answer to Hilda's ques- ton he merely inclined his head.
 "I have seen vision," said she sim ply, and lowered her head to conceal her eyes. Then she looked at him again. There can be nothing better than love-" she said.
 Yes, one thing" said Thorpe-.the duty of success"
 The man had stated his creed. the woman hers.
 She left him then and did not see him again. Four days later the camp ing party left. Thorpe sent Tim Shear CT over as his most efficient man to see that they got off without difficulty, but himself retired on some excuse to Camp Four. Three weeks gone in Oc- tober he received marked newspaper announcing the engagement of Miss Hilda Farrund to MT. Hildreth Morton, of Chicago.

 "If your firm can't supply it can" she answered. "It seems strange that you won't grant my first request of you merely because you need a little money"
 Ut isn't little money" he objected, catching manlike at the practical ques- ton. You don't realize what an amount clump of pine like this stands Tor. Just in saw logs, before it is made into lumber, it will be worth about $3O,oOO There's $1o,OOO profit in it.,

Oil King Paid OG Mortgage on Farm
 of Boyhood Playmate.
 John D. Rockefeller has paid off the mortgage on the little Nebraska farm of Charles Austin, boyhood friend, whom he has not seen for many years, says a Sioux City Qa.) dispatch.
 MT. Austin lives near Dakota City on a little place on which was a mort gage of several hundred dollars. The fruit crop by which he lived has been failure for two years, and he was in hard straits. As boy he was play mate of Rockefeller, but as young men they drifted apart, and when Austin learned of the financial standing of his old friend he wrote him letter of !congratulation. Since then they have exchanged one or two letters annually.
 Several years ago MT. Rockefeller's friendship was the means of giving po- sitions to Austin's two sons in the Standard Oil employ at Sioux City. This year MT. Rockefeller, learning of Austin's misfortunes, paid the mort gage. MT. Austin says he knew noth- ing of it till notified by the recorders office that it had been paid.

 more forceful thuds of the man nearer at hand.

 Thorpe settled himself more lazily md laughed with quiet enjoyment. The story of the woods" he began, sthe story of the saw log. It would take bigger man than to tell it. I doubt if any one man ever would be big enough. It is dream, a struggle, a battle. Those men you hear there are only the skirmishers extending the
