ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
III notable heroes of the nineteenth century.
A name that startles terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his endorse
ment. 1t appeared on later conversation that
Peruna has been used in his family, where it is
a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds
of the American people. 1t is out of the ques-
ton that so great and famous man as Ad-
miral Schley could have any other reason for
giving his endorsement to Peruna than his
positive conviction that the remedy is all that
he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all OPP

throat can be kept clear of mucous
and splitting. Catarrh is nuisance
and source of annoyance, not only
to the one who has it, but everybody
else. The thick, yellow discharge
from the head produces feeling of
personal deflement, and the odor of
the breath is almost intolerable.
The catarrhal poison brings on
stomach troubles and affects the Kid
neys and Bladder. It attacks the
soft bones and tissues of the head
and throat, causing total or partial
deafness, the loss of smell, and Civ
ing to the voice a rasping, nasal
twang. No part of the body is secure
from its ravages. Catarrh makes
you sick all over, for it is a dis
ease of the blood, and circulates all
through the system, and for this
reason, sprays, washes, inhalers,
powders and salves have proven
failures.
The way to cure Catarrh thor
oughly and permanently is to cleanse
the blood of the unhealthy secretions
that keep the membranes of the body

DESERTED BY CIRcUsMAN.--La
summer when Sig. SautelPs circus which
exhibited in Alexandria last month was
at Plattsburg, N. Y, one of the most
interested spectators was May Lennon, a
charming girl of l6 years. That per-
formance of the circus was the beginning
of a sad romance for May which had its
ending in the local department of chari-
ties in New York Monday. May admir-
ed a horseback rider, named Watson. 1t
was a case with her of love at first sight.
That evening old farmer Lennon and his
family drove home in detected and un-
happy mood. They had lost May in
the crowd and had not been able to find
her, and they did not know how she
could ever get home again. That was the
last they heard of The girl until Monday
when she asked if she could come home
again. May refused to 60 with the
circus until she was married to the bare
back rider, and so the marriage was
performed that very night, and May en-
tered into the circus life with visions Of
a bright future before her. The circus
after leaving Alexandria went to An
napolis, Nd, and broke up at Havre
de Grace, Md, for the winter the mid
die of last month, Watson then took his
bride to Baltimore, where they remained
until last week. Failing to find work,
he carried her to Brooklyn and then
deserted her. After suffering the pangs
of hunger for two days, she applied to
the Department Of Charities.

KILLED IN CoTToN PREss.-News
has reached Forest, Miss, of remark
able occurrence at Lemons Postofiice,
Smith county. A young man about II
wear. old, whose surnameis Bailey, was
literally compressed in bale of cotton
at the steam gin of John Glaze. Young
Bailey was employed by Mr.. Glaze to
work at the gin. Last Saturday about
noon Bailey, who assisted in packing
cotton, either accidentally fell in the
press or jumped in before enough cotton
had been placed at the bottom to prevent
injury, the custom being with ginners
to first pack the cotton in the press by
tramping before running the heavy
blocks down upon it. 1t is supposed
that Bailey in falling or jumping into
the press, must have struck in such a
manner as.to become insensible. Others
were assisting him in putting the cotton
in the press, but, strange to say, no Que
saw him descend. He was missed be-
fore the bale was finished in packing,
but it was supposed that he had gone to
the well for water. After the press had
been filled the betting was replaced upon
the machinery and thecotton compressed
by steam with force which must have
equaled many tons. The doors of the
press we're knocked open preparatory to
putting on the ties and sewing the bag
ging, when what was supposed to be a
shoe heel and sole were seen in the side
of the bail. The press was run down in
order to relieve the pressure, after which
the discovery was made that man was
compressed in the cotton. The bale was
hurriedly torn to pieces, and Bailey was
taken out crushed almost beyond recog-
milton. His head and face we're crushed
and black from the pressure, and he
could only be identified by his hair and
clothing.
