Texas. and there killed another man, but escaped and came to Alabama, settling at Tuscaloosa. At Tuscaloosa, 1t Is re- ported he killed a third man and was ca blurred. Tried and sent to the peniten- tiary for ten years. After serving six years of his imprisonment he was par doned by the Governor on account of good behavior.

Issues Waraing.
 Washington, Dec. 2.-To obtain the views of representatives of railroads and all interested shippers on the promulga- ton of railroad tariffs on export and im- ported traffic, the Interstate Commerce Commission has fixed hearing on the subject to be held here December 17.
 The commission says: -~ -f
 "The commission has held the opinion and has officially so decided that the law relating to the publication and filing of tariffs applies as well to export and im- port traffic as to domestic traffic.
 This requirement. of the law as respects export and import shipments continues to be disregarded to a greater or less extent and 1t Is believed to be the duty of the commission to insist upon its observance. "To this end 1t is proposed to give geflt eral notice that from and after January ~ 1904, the commission will require the pub lication and fiiing of tariffs on export afid import .traffic the same as on domestic traffic unless. convinced that the obliga- ton to do so is not imposed blythe statute." -..---..

Gratitude and desire to help others hts inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who hereto fore would not have consented to such pu u,llcity.
 Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of na- tional and international reputation have been wiling to give unqualified and public en- dorsements to a proprietary rem 'dy. No amount of advertising could have accom- plished such result. Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location Tn the human body. That is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements.

 Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the Ameri:an people.
