ice IN White River Crushed Houseboat
and Occupants Were Given to the
Water to Perish.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 23.-The ice
in White river has carried off house
boat occupied by John Schowe and
wife, which had been anchored on the
-overfowed lowlands. The boat was
battered to pieces and Mrs. Schowe
was drowned. Her body was carried
down White river by the ice. John
:Schowe, the husband, was thrown into
the water and caught hold of bushes
.on a submerged island in the middle
.of the river opposite the lower part OF
the city. His cries for help were heard
and an effort was made to rescue him.
Rolla Morrison started for him through
the ice with boat. After an hour
he reached him but Schowe was crazed
by the cold and fought him OFF. Nor
rison finally overpowered him, tied
him in the boat with ropes and started
for shore. The crushing ice and strug-
giles of the man threw Morrison out
and the boat went on down the river
with Schowe tied to the bottom. Nor
rison caught some bushes and was
aater rescued. Police followed the boat
with Schowe in it as far as haywood,
four miles below the city where q
bayou prevented further pursuit.

STOLE THE SAFE.
A Wells Fargo Treasure Box Mysteriousiy
Taken Out of an Express Car In
California.

San Francisco, Jan. 22.-While the
Southern Pacific company's Sunset
limited train was climbing the rough
mountains between San Luis Obispo
and San Ardo Wednesday night q
Wells-Fargo treasure box was mys-
teriously stolen out of the express car
by some unknown person or persons.
Timothy Sullivan, the messenger, was
In another car and when he returned
he found the side door Of the express
Car open and the safe missing. The
robber gained entrance to the car
through the end door, the lock of
which had been forced. Sullivan at
once notified the railway officials of the
robbery and search for the missing
safe resulted in finding 1t near the
tunnel No. 2. 1t had been broken into
and its contents had been taken with
the exception of valuable diamond,
some checks and other valuable pa
pers. The amount of treasure that
was being carried in the safe has nor
been determined. The express officials
state that it was only few hundred
dollars but that there were some valu-
able papers. Estimates from the scene
of the robbery place the amount as
high as $4,000, but 1t is thought this
estimate Is greatly exaggerated one

M. q. Gee, M. d.
Catarrh is q systemic disease cura BILE
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately iuvigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.

Other Prominent Physicians Use
and Endorse Pe-ru.na.

DR. LLEWELLYN Jordan, Medical
IL Examiner of the U. &. 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 q vast change and I now
consider myself q 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 its 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 affiicts mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases affiict
one-half of the people of United States.

Depew,s Salt MackereI.

Even to this day Chauncey De-
pew is touchy at the mention of a
harmless joke which was perpetrat-
ed at his expense many years ago.
AT that time he was lad checking
freight on the wharf for Commo-
dore Vanderbilt and in his spare
moments was fond of fishing in the
river. One day, having set his line,
he went into the Office near by to
resume his duties. The boys pulled
it in, attached salt mackerel and
yelled to him that there was some
thing on his book. He hurried out,
of course, only to find that he had
been fooled. The joke is a sore
point with the senator even nova
days, though no one seems to know
Just why.-Exchange.

In many ways the two kaiSers-

present many points of contrast. I'm
nothing, perhaps, is this more mark
ed thanin the feverish activity of the
younger man and the quiet calm of
the elder. The German emperor
comes near to realizing the idea of
perpetual motion; he is essentially
the travelling kaiser and has visited
every city Of Importance in Europe
Paris, perhaps, excepted. Even
Paris he is said to visit incognito.
The Austrian emperor, on the other
hand, rarely leaves his own domin-
ions, and now, having reached the
age of seventy, he announces that
he is no longer equal to the fatigue
Of paying return visits.-Pall Mall
