CATARRH CAUSES CONSUMPTION
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Ca
tarrh Wherever Located.

TIME medical profession has so thor.
4 oughly prejndiccd tho minds Of the
people against patent medicines that 1t
is with great reluctance that anyone
can be persuaded to try such remedy
at ilrst.
In nearly every one of the Thousands
Of remarkable cures that Peruna has
made the patients had to be persuaded
by friends very strongly before they
could lay aside their prejudice against f..
\ large multitude, OF course, hold out
against the persuasions Of friends and
die simply because they have allowed
their minds TO be poisoned against this
very excellent remedy.
But fortunately there Is another large
multitude of people who are able to
shake OF their pre- udicc and try Peruna
before it is too late. These people arc
rarely disappointed. They generally 4 Y
other remedies at the beginning Of their
troubles. They allow cold TO develop
into catarrh Of the head, They allosY
catarsh Of the head to gradually become
catarrh Of the throat. They still keep
using tho doctors medicine, or some
other iaeGectual remedy. Tho catarrh
stealthily spreads down the bronchial
tubes and reaches the lungs. Every body
then becomes alarmed. Faith in the
doctor begins 10 disappear. The patient
reaches u state of mind in which he is
willing TO Try almost anything. A bot
tic of peruna is sent for.
The first week it produces decided
change for the better. A few weeks
continued treatment cures the patient.
Then aaother happy man or woman is
added to the long list of people who are
praising Peruna.

factory results from the use of PerTtna,

Hon. Bourke Cochran. OF New York
in a speech, made recently before
Tammany hail, Characterized the
difference between Democracy and Re-
publicanism in the following terse
language:
Democrats are party of principle
They follow principle and value it
more than profit. Republicans have
differed mcie widely than Democrats
upon every question which has been
active in our politice. They have d.
tered about the Philippines, about the
tariff the gold question, about Cuoa,
about every single question which has
come before the public, but their dill
ferences never prevented them from
coming back as one man the moment
there was a chance Of getting posses
sion of the Government, aud putting
their fists in the Treasury. Democrats
on the other side. have thrown away
prospects OF success rather than sur
render thsir principles to which they
were committed. Democracy, in fact.
is faith, and Republicanism is an
appetite"

NOT THE FIRST ATTEMPT
TO DAMAGE BATTLESHIP

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Two at
tempts have been made to wreck the
battleship Connecticut, which is to be
launched at the Brooklyn navy yard
tomorrow. The announcement of the
discovery of an obstruction hidden on
the ways beneath the water brought
forth the story of the previous at
tempt to injure the Connecticut.
Three weeks ago Admiral Rogers
reported to the Navy Department that
serious weakness was discovered in
the ways. A careful investigation fol-
lowed and this showed that defects in
construction were doubtless planned
for the purpose of bringing the great
battleship to disaster when 1t started
into the water. Great secrecy was
maintained about the weakness in the
ways, but at that time naval officers
gave the subject much thought and a
special guard was established to pro-
tect the ship from damage. All eff
forts to locate the responsibility for
the defect were futile.

SAVED BY HIS COAT.
COlOred Woman Prisoner Tries to Kill
Acting Captain Swan.


SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 2S.-Captain
Swan, acting captain of the yard at
San Quentin, had fierce fight with
Belle Mailer, colored woman prisoner,
yesterday afternoon. The woman had
been very unruly and threatened to kill
the matron of the ward, who immedi-
ately informed Warden Tompkins. The
warden instructed Captain Swan to
visit the department and discipline the
woman.
When she noticed the captain ap-
preaching she ran to the kitchen, pro-
cured a large meat fork and tried to
stab him. She succeeded in striking
him in the side, but as Swan had on
a heavy coat the weapon did not pene-
trate far enough to hurt him. Had he
been coatless, however, he would have
received a serious wound.
The woman has bad record. She
is serving ten years for picking pockets
in San Francisco. She at one time was
an inmate of an insane asylum, and the
officials at the prison think g. was
temporarily demented when she tried
to injure Swan.

KUROPATKIN'S CAVALRY Is KEEPING
IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH THE JAPANESE
WAR BULLETINS

LONDON, Sept. ga dispatch to
a news agency from VladivOstOk says
that, according TO reports from Port
Arthur, two Japanese tOrpedO-b boats
and a Japanese steamship have been
sunk by Rlines near Port Arthur dur
ing the last few days. A Japanese
cruiser of the Niitaka type, it is
added, was badly damaged.
LONDON, Sept. 29.-The Daily
Mails IiaOyang correspondent, tele-
graphing on September IS, says: "The
winter equipment for the Japanese
troops is completed. Fresh supplies
of ammunition have arrived and the
army is ready to march at a moments
notice. The personal treatment OF
foreign correspondents with the Jap
anese has been completely revolu-
tionized.''
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2S.-The
information received at the War Of
flee concerning the situation at Port
Arthur is not reassuring. The block
ade at last seems TO be effective. Adj
miral TOgO's ships are arresting all
the junks which try to enter the har-
Dor and are sending them to Port Dali
ny. 1t is feared that this complete
isolation may react on the spirits of
the garrison.

MUKDEN, Sept 2S-Many Skin

cept for these, quiet prevails. In the
lighting that has been taking place the
Russian scouts have almost invariably

from Liaoyang, as adequate supplies
are now coming in from the north.

family, and connected in a business
way with a local banking firm was
murdered by Porto Rican named Jose

practically made a confession. Public
feeling over the crime is intense.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 2S.-Gener-
al Stoessel has finally refused to yield
Port Arthur, as all expected he would.
A friend of his said to-day:
Even if instructions were sent to
him to capitulate he would surely fol-
low the example Of Nelson, who
promptly turned blind on the side of
the signal telling him to cease fight
ing"
Russia is now following developments
with keen anxiety 1t is fully recog-
nized that the situation at Port Arthur
is rapidly becoming desperate. When
the moment arrives that the ships are
forced to leave the harbor the water
question will become doubly serious,
as their condensers will no longer be
available. The supplies of munitions
and coal, in spite of denials, are run
ming short. No illusions are held here
as to the widely serious effect the fall
OF Port Arthur will have.
CHEFU, Sept. 2S.-Russians resid-
ing here claim to have received infor-
nation that the Japanese losses in the
last assault on Port Arthur (Which be-
gan on September 19) were 1000. A
Chinese who left the fortress on Sep
TENDER 26 says that the Russian losses
were between 500 and 600.
This Chinese says that the Japanese
were unable to remain in the three
supplementary forts which they cap
tuTed and that they retired at o'clock
on the afternoon of September 26, after
enduring several days of tremendous
firing from the inner forts.
He adds that the Russians at
tempted to bury the dead of both sides
at night, because the decomposing
bodies seriously menace the health of
the garrison. The Russians allege that
il is the deliberate policy of the Jap
anese to undermine the health of the
Russian troops by means of the odors
from the decomposing bodies and that
fer this reason they fire on the burial
parties.
One Chinese who was a member of
a burial party says that the Japanese
fired when he and other Chinese at
tempted to bury the dead. He adds
that when the wind carries the odors
toward the Japanese the latter retire.
Chinese say that the most severe at
lacks were made on the supplementary
forts of the ItZ and Anshu Mountain
forts The Russians had undermined
the ground and several hundred Jap
anese were blown up on September
%. Reports received from the Mao
tao Islands mention a terrific report
which shook the houses there on that
date.
The Russian ships. it is reported,
took no part in the battle.
From thirty to fifty shells fall daily
into the Chinese new town. One shell
tore the rudder from a torpedo boat
destroyer.
The Russians are now building a
new fort on Liaoti Promontory,. bear
ing on the land side. Its construction
indicates that five large guns will form
