A PROMINENT CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PE=RU=NA
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy


A woman confined to the house for
several years with q chronic female
arrangement had finally given up hope
Of being cured.
She had tried physician after ply
stefan, and remedy after remedy, with
out any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband,
! who was a poor man, hundreds Of dol
lars. They had been obliged to deny
themselves many comforts Of life III
| order to get money enough to pay the
| ph physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause Of the want of a mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
| and broken down with oyerwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
| the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
! such cases free Of charge by letter. She
| Immediately wrote the doctor, describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-
toms.
| She soon received letter telling her
| exactly what to do and what mcdi-
cines and appliances to get. She began
| the trea tment (he principal remedy be-
| ing Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks
/ she was well and strong again, able to
do her own work.
| This offer of free home treatment to
| women is still open to all who may need
| the services Of this eminent physician.
/ All letters applying for treatment Will
| be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.
Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas
| of Yemassee Council Of Red Men (Wo-
mems Branch), writes from S72 Eighth
Ave. New York:
! ''Three months ago I was troubled
with backache and a troublesome
heaviness about the stomach. Sleep
brought me no rest, for it was restless
sleep. The doctor said my nervous sys-
tenn was out of order, but his prescrip-
tons didn't seem to relieve me. [ was
told that Peruna was good for building
up the nervous system After using it

of me. The torturing symptoms have

The Liquor Trade in Cuba.

If the Cuban government was con-
trolled by the white ribbon temperance
societies of the north she could not have
taken more decisive step against liquor
than she has done. The new tax placed
on liquors is SO very high that the liquor
dealers, distillers and all state that they
will have to go out of business and in
a few days it is promised that those peo-
pie who want ''eye-openers" may have
to take lemonade or milk instead. There
seems to be no doubt that the industry
in Cuba is killed. One of the oldest
liquor firms in Cuba closed its doors last
week, while in these columns this morn
ing one Of the largest dealers in Cuba
announces that he is clearing out his
goods preparatory to retiring from bust
ness.-Havana Post

and six feet high, and elevated on blocks
about n foot above the floor, ana IN these

The walls of the compartments are of

the small chamber where the air is treat
ed The outer air. when drawn by a
ventlating shaft into the chamber, is
filtered through layers Of cotton wool,

dried by being passed through perforated
trays charged with chloride Of calcium,
and finally ozonized by means Of an
AndTiolis tube. which is called into ac-
ton for five minutes in each quarter of
an hour by automatic clockwork. Above
the doors is a square chamber containing

roof of the hospital. AS the output is
regulated so as to exceed the inlet. the

is somewhat reduced and the air is rare

The New Library Building.

The Library Board had a
meeting in the town clerk
othce Tuesday evening and de-
hnltely decided upon the plans
Tor the new library building.
Besides the members of the
Board there were present at the
meeting Miss L. E. Stearns,
state organizer for the Wiscon-
sin Free Library Commission,
and Henry Wildhagen, architect.
Some very valuable suggestions
were offered by Miss Stearns,
and her ideas were incorporated
into the new plans. Mr.. Wild
hagen was authorized to at once
arrange two sets Of plans, one
set OF which is to call for brick
and stone, and the other set for
stone. The library board will
be ready to call for bids by
October 1st, and will enclose the
building this fall, and finish it
during the winter. Miss
Stearns has helped arrange the
plans for twenty-seven new
Carnegie Libraries which are
now being built in the state of
Wisconsin, and the members of
the board were surprised at the
knowledge she displayed in ref
erence to the building of library
buildings.

Hines and ScofieId Suit.

The case of the Hines Lumb Der

Edward Scofeld is on trial in the
United States Court now in ses-
sion at Milwaukee. It will be
remembered that litigation grew
out of the burning of the SEQ
field mill, and the Hines people
claimed part of the insurance.
The insurance company will pay
the amount of the loss into court.
and accept the decision of the
court as to the disposition of the
money. Hines claimed that
there was a violation of contract
on the part of Scofield inasmuch
as the latter would not rebuild
his mill and finish saving the
Hines timber.

Has Assessment Roll Been Paddedp

hdS assessment Roll Been Padded?
Nye, jerks & Company have
commenced suit against the
town Of Washburn, having begun
their action in the United States
Court for the Western District
OF Wisconsin. The action is to
compel the town to set aside the
assessment made upon the grain
IN their elevator in this CITY.
The grain is said to have as
sessed for about $4,000. Just
why it should have been placed
on the roll when it was in transit
is matter of conjecture. The
company set up in their COM
plant that they were not al
lowed to appear before the board
of review, and allege fraud on tie
part of the assessor and the
board.
1t is claimed that in addition to
this item that an equal value of
lumb Der on the docks in this city
has also been placed on the as
sessment roll upon which there
is no probability of collecting
any tax.
The town will likely find that
they have an expensive piece of
litigation on hand with the Nye-
jerks people, and with no pro-
liability of accomplishing any
thing by putting the property ON
the roll. No attempt has ever
been made in the past years to
assess the grain, as it is simply
held temporarily in the house
here while in transit.
