may be gathered from what happened when
Howell ran six years ago and had the
whole sayso with the old Herdman police
commission, then in the saddle. Half the
detective force was detailed to do political
work, taking orders direct from the dem

Savage and Dempsey had written orders
to report to Charley Tanning at Oerter's
saloon and do whatever he wanted them In

gave the whole story later in sworn testi-
mony in Judge Scott's court, explaining
where Howell sent him and whom he was
told to spot. He did not even report at
the station at all for nearly two weeks and
all the time drew his pay out of the city
treasury. When Judge Scott heard this he
declared: They might just as we'll put

the constantly increasing demands that
make the new building a necessity. Dur

To introduce in her dress some

brilliant scarlet velvet and trimmed
with rows OF gold braid. and it fastens

 Peruna can be relied upon to cure slight colds and coughs and other ca tarrhal ailments with a promptness that is unequaled by any other remedy.
 If cold has settled in any portion of the body and produced catarrh, it is gen. erally thought by people that they must suffer on year after year without any hope of cure. This is not true, however, Peruna cures such cases. Thousands of testimonials that can never be Ised attest this fact.
