George Francis Train, who passed
away few days ago, never ceased to
gay brilliant things, no matter how far
his mind seemed to wander from a
perfect equilibrium He was eccen-
trio, but most Of his utterances were
not only rational but indicative of ge.
MUS. In his later years he deliberate
ly snubbed the world, but the world
did not cease to enjoy his frequent
wild and witty jeremaids. He often
spoke truth as keen and incisive in
its expression as Carlyle. His great.
est reDuke to the worldly world was
his refusal to mingle with men, de-
voting himself IL llas children,

MEDICAL EXAMINER
OF the United States Treasury Recommends
Pe.ru.na.
Other Prominent Physicians Use
and Endorse Pe.ru.na.

nR. LLEWELLYN Jordan, Medical
~ Examiner of the U. s. Treasury
Department, graduate of Columbia Col
lege, and who served three years at West
Point, has the following tosay of Peruna:
.:AIIoW me to express my graft
fude to you for the benefit derived
from your wonderful remedy.
One short month has brought
forth a vast change and / now
consider myself a well man after
months of suffering. Fellow suf-
fererS, Peruna will cure you"
A constantly increasing number OF
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven it's merits SO
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against So
called patent medicines and recommend
it to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the disease which afflicts mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases affiict
onc-half of the people of United States.

Case Against Mamie Sheridan Only

The entire day was consumed in the
superior court yesterday in trying the
case against Mamie Sheridan, charged
with keeping a disorderly house. The
evidence was all in before the neon
recess and the afternoon was consum-
ed by the attorneys il addressing the
jury. 1t was about $50 D. m. when the
jury took the case. They a not yet
returned a verdict. This case was taken
UP Wednesday afternoon, but fo.hing
more was lone "Wednesday than secure
a jury. Two and a hale days have been
been consumed in the trial Of two, out
of the thirty one cases. brought by the
Law and Order League against IL won-
en- who are charged with keeping disor-
derby houses. The first Of the
cases tried was against Kate Jen-
kinS. charged with retailing WIFI. key
without license. In this case the jury
returned a verdict of not guilty. It
will be impossible q Try all of the cases
against these women during this term
Of court. The attorneys for both sides
are anxious for the cases to be dispos-
ed Of, but they will probably have to
wait until another term of court.

has at last reached 15 cents. The price
in Liverpool yesterday was 10 -. and In
New York 1875. Think OF It. cotton

STREET GAVE WAY.
Weight OF Horse Caused Sewer to
Give Way on Seventh Street

James E. Holton. a representative
Of the F. E. Hashagen Company came
very near meeting with a serious acct
dent yesterday morning while driving
along Seventh street near Princess.
He was in a buggy and the horse trot-
ting along at a good gait when sud
denly a section of the street gave way,
causing the horse to fall into a hole
-four OF five feet deep. Mr.. Holton WAS
thrown from the buggy, but escaped
with only a few bruises. The horse
was badly bruised n h buggy was
smashed up considerably. The weight
of the horse caused the sewer under
the street to give way. The street was
perfectly smooth where the accident
occurred it was impossible to have
told that there was any danger at that
point.

that Is something big after two con-
tinuances- Ii was expected that the
trial would commence at 2:30 O'clock

expectation. A trial Of what is nov
known as one OF the cases Of i'll fame
Was muchly in progress at that time.
So nearly two hundred men summoned
on the special venire lad to inwardly
ehafe and fret at the delay. No man
possesses patience when the dreaded
prospect OF sitting in judgment on the
life and death Of a human being is his.
and to have the suspense heightened
and then not ended Is decidedly vexing
and mind sickening. That was The

Further inquiry. into the after life Of Harvard oarsmen, made by Dr Meylan, of Columbia, for the Harvard
 Graduates magazine, shows that they are above the average in longevity, In health and in those powers which make for success in life." Among the conclusions reached by Dr Meylan are: That college athletes do not die young of heart disease or consumption, as is so often asserted. That the hard train ing and racing involved in rowing do not dull the mind and exhaust the mental and physical energy. That the health and vigor of the oarsman is so far above the average that If row ing has any effect on the health that effect cannot be other than beneficial.

This crop is somewhat backward and exposed from danger to frost, but 1oerts arc figuring upon maximum cN of about 2,5oo,000,- GOO bushels. IL is unfortunate that the wheat crop is now likely to fall below 60o,oo0,o00 bushels, but the damage stories appear to have been exaggerated and price being high farmers will not suffer much on this score. Another important crop, which is often lost sight of, is the hay crop, and this, too, promises to be abundant, thanks to plentiful rain fall. The crop situation therefore as a whole is entirely satisfactory and each day diminishes the risk of injury.
