Killed by Fall from Trolley.

Matthias H. Lutes aged 30 years, en-
ployed as a conductor by the Five Mile
Beach Electric Railway Co., fell from
his car about nine o'clock last Sunday
night and received injuries from which
he died early Monday morning. The
accident occurred on the road between
the county bridge and the railroad
crossing at Holly Beach venue The
car had no passengers on board at the
time of the accident and Motorman
Barnes did not discover that the con
ductor was missing until he reached
the railroad. He then nan his car back
and found the wounded man several
yards from the track where he had
been hurled by the force of the moving
car. Mr.. Lutes was put aboard the
car and hurried to a doctor, but he did
not regain consciousness. A big cash
was cut in his scull, one arm dislocated
besides being hurt internally. The
deceased was a glassworker of Mill
Wildwood, on Pine avenue, during the
summer with his wife and child and
parents. He was taken to Millville
for burial. He was a member of the
Masonic fraternity. Coroner Chas. II
Clouting, of Sea Isle City, held an in
quest over the body on Monday anc
the following were summoned as the
coroner's jury: II. F. Shute, foreman
b. G. Ingersoll, w. H. Allen, G. e.
Warner, f. d. Schell and John H,
Mats. The jury found that the de-
ceased met with an accidental death,
and after travelling over the road, the
jury recommended that the roadbed
be put in better condition and that the
footboards of the cars be widened.

Light on Female Diseases,

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelyic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases OF the
pelvic organs are the cause OF most
cases Of female diseases.
DR.. Hartman was among the first OF
Americas greatest physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to women
and long ago he reached the conclusion
that woman entirely free from ca
tarrhal affection Of these organs would
not be subject to female diseases. He,
therefore, began using Peruna for these
cases and found II 30 admirably adapted
~ their permanent cure that Peruna has
now become the most famous remedy
for female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using II and prais
ing it. Peruna is not palliative sim
ply; 1t cures by removing the cause o
female diseases.
Peruna builds mp the nerves and re
stores the appetite and digestion.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured NOR
women OF female ailments than an!
other living physician. He makes thes
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Pcruna,

be has been shown and has read the
affidavit OF Charles G. Hcnt fled IN
this case. That the same is abso-
lutely false and untrue and without
the shadow of foundation. That
said Hunt was by him summoned In
the usual and ordinary way as
Juror in said case at Butler, in Bates
county, Mo. That he did not discuss
tie case with saii Hunt in any man
ner, shape or form and that every
word and syllable OF Hunts sftidavit
to that effect is absolutely false.
That he said nothing to bin abeHt
the case, directly or indirectly other
than to summon him. That he did
not talk with him afterwards and
never heard OF him again until re-
Gently when a gentleman from that
section OF the county told him that
Hunt wanted to know il the case was
coming up. and he told him that he
did not know but that the jury
would be required to be here anyway.
That every word in said affidavit Is
absolutely false except the state,

Ia. B Ludwick, Prosecuting Attorney
Of Bates county. Mr.. Folk considers
that his province ends With obviating
a menace to the states interests In
the Kratz trial Ludwick declares
that the facts will be siited either be-
fore a special grand jury or through
issuance OF iniormations or an intor'
nation based upon the Hunt affida'
Wit.
In case grand jury ia not con-
vened," said Mr.. Ludwick, 'you may
say that will press a thorough sitt.
ing OF the whole matter and that
informations will be issued II close
study OF Hunts affidavit shows a
legal offense."
The attorney for the defendant
made application for continuance
on the ground that Kratz ls confined
to his bed as a result Of a recent
operation for appendicitis. DR..
Broome OF St. Louis WAS put on the
witness stand and testified to kratz' g
serious condition and said that 1t
would take from ten to fifteen weeks
tor Kratz to sufficiently recover to
be able to stand trial. Judge Graves
granted the motion for continuance
and fixed the date for December l 9th.

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in SO many homes is that
Il contains no narcotics of any kind.
Peruna Is perfectly harmless. ltcan b
used any length of time without acquir-
} ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
, duce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in Its effect.
As a tonic and nerve invigorator
Peruna has no equal.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are multitude of homes where Peruns
has been used off and on for twenty
: years. Such thing could not be possi-
BILE IL Peruna contained any drugs Of .
0 narcotic nature.
