The McCue Case Closed.

The evidence in this now celebra ted
criminal case is all in and argu-
ment by able counsel on both sides is
well under way and will probably be
concluded by tomorrow, when all will
be In the hands of the jury. What their
verdict will be is a matter of widest
conjecture. The instructions, which
are very lengthy, seem to favor the
prisoner, at least it is known that
counsel for the accused are we'll pleased
with what they got. There is feeling
among many that the prosecution has
not made out their case, this is due
large to the failure of several witnesses
to testify as they had been expected
to, and as they have been reported to
have testified in the presence of vari-
GUS witnesses when not under oath.
These reasons together with favOra.
BILE instructions from the court, have
caused much doubt in the minds of the
public as to what conclusion the jury
may reach. 1t is true the prisoner has
made practically no defense and his
failure to go on the stand in his own
behalf are damaging in the eyes of the
public, but this it seems the jury will
have no right to consider. So that
any forecast of their action is the mer-
est conjecture. Captain Woods in bis
opening speech for the prosecution has
consumed five hours, and was followed
by &. Burnley st. Clair for the defense,
then Capt. R. Skier for the prosecution
Mr.. Coleman and Mr.. Lee for the de-
tense and Mr.. Gllmer of the pr osecu-
ton last.

FOR THIRTY YEARS
Congressman r1eekison Suffered With CatarrI1--Read
His Endorsement of Pe=rll=na


| A TONIC is . medicine that gives
n tone to some part of the system.
There are different kinds Of tonics, but
the tonic most needed in this country,
where catarrh is so prevalent, is a tonic
that operates on the mucous membranes.
Peruna is tonic to the mucous mem
branes of the whole body. 1t gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is specific in it's operation
upon the mucous membrane. 1t is q
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
tarrhal affections. II gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hid
den parts of the body.
A. Nj. 1kerd, an employe of the c. B.
q Q. K. r., West Burling ton, Ia, writes:
81 had catarrh of the stomach and
small intestines for a number of years.
l went to number of doctors and got
no relief. Finally one of my doctors
sent me to Chicago and met the same
! fate. They said they could do nothing
for NE, that had cancer of the stomach
and there was no cure. / almost thought
the same, for my breath was something
awful. L could hardly stand it, it was
SO offensive. could not eat anything
without great misery, and l gradually
grew worse.
"Finally got one of your books, and
concluded would try Peruna, and thank
God, found relief and q cure for that
dreadful disease. / took five bottles of
Peruna and two of Manalin, and now
feel like new man. There is nothing
better than Peruna, and keep bottle
in my house all the time."-A. NJ. Ikerd.
Catarrh of the stomach is usually
called dyspepsia. Catarrhal dyspepsia
cannot be cured by pepsin powders or
any other temporary relief. The only
cure for real dyspepsia is removal of
the catarrh from the mucous membrane
of the stomach. This Peruna will do.
This Peruna has done thousands and
thousands of times.
Congressman Botkin, of Kansas, was
cured of catarrh of the stomach of many
years. standing. Hundreds of other
cases have been reported to us through
unsolicited testimonials. Peruna is the
only internal systemic remedy for ca
tarrh yet devised. Every one afflicted
with catarrh in the slightest degree
ought to take course of Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
Address DR.. Hartman, President Of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Sept .17.-Prices of
stocks underwent sharp reaction
again today under the combined in
fiuence of an unfavorable bank state
Inent and apprehension of crop dam
age. The grain markets were reac-
tionary, but the highly speculative
condition in those markets make Wall
Street somewhat suspicious of them as
a reliable index of real conditions. The
selling of stocks was more due to fears
of possible developments regarding the
crops during the Sunday interval, not
now foreseen. st Paul was the leader
of the decline, but the other grangerS
and PacificS were not far behind. Ihe
break in Reading was of large in
fluence as early attempts were made tC
advance the price on the score of the
favorable annual report. But the evil
dence of important selling on the ad-
vance suggested that the best buying,
due to the annual showing had been
done already and was waiting to take
profits. The support of United States
Steel, preferred, also proved futile.
The further $10,472,600 loan expan-
sion disclosed by the bank statement
disappointed any expectation that the
weeks liquidation in the stock mar
ket was reducing that item. IT'S in
