TAR. LLEWELLYN Jordan, Medi-

Point, has the following to say of Peruna:
"Aiiow me to express my graft

from your wonderful remedy.
One short month has brought
forth a vast change and 1 now
consider myself a well man after
months of suffering. Fellow snf-
ferers, Peruna will cure yoG.
A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome theirprejudiee against SO call
ed patent medicines and recommend it
to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only internal
systemic eatarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the disease which afIlicts mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases aGlict
one half of the people of United States.

Mystery About Death Of Mrs.
Jennie B. Chase.
WAS A SUPPOSED SUICIDE
In Case Anything Suspicious Develops
an Inquiry Will Be Held-woman
Was Daughter Of Millionaire
Eben Phillips.

Lynn, Mas, Sept 1s.-Judge Berry
this morning decided to hold an autopsy
over the body OF Mrs. Jennie p Chase,
who is supposed to have committed su-
icide at Swampseott She was the
daughter Of the millionaire Eben Phil
ips. The autopsy will be held tomor-
row morning. If anything suspicious Is
revealed an inquiry will be held.
Mrs. Chase was found dying in the
kitchen Of her handsome home. She
died after three and half days Of
Inconsistencies, without the knowledge
Of her brothers or sisters. Medical Ex-
aminer Pnkham did not report the case,
but waited to be summoned.
The note which was found near Mrs.

This note is now in the hands Of DIR.
Pinkham, who says, too, that the bottle
of poison which he gives as contribu-
tory cause Of death in a death certificate
filed Friday, two days after Mrs. Chase's
death, was left in the Chase house. He
also says that unless called upon BY
the proper authorities he will give the
note to its owner, DR. Chase.
The trail Of death follows the Phil
lips millions. By a strange series OF
circumstances in which at least two
deaths by violence figure, and in which
one natural death is imminent, DR.. Hor-
ace Chase may inherit one-fourth share
The first of the tragic deaths was
that Of David X. Phillips, a brother OF
Mrs. Chase, who was found dead under

National Biscuit Co.'S Reception TO Show
the Cracker as an Article OF Food.

Hundreds Of the ladies Of Barre at
tended the reception given Saturday af-
fernoon at IIale's Pavilion BY the Ma
tional Biscuit company. The reception
was an entire success, not only in at
tendance, and in the pleasure afforded
the guests, but as an illustration OF how
many and how good are the products
of the National Biscuit company. The
guests were especially pleased with the
refreshments served. These consisted
largely of the products Of the National
Biscuit company, and were Of great va
riety, including biscuit, crackers and
waters suitable for any requirement,
from the oysters to dessert Beginning
with Uneeda Biscuit, which has come
to be regarded as ~the staff Of Iife,s
in millions Of homes, the guests were
served with many other delicious pro-
duets of the bakers art, among them
being. Oysterettes, Butter Thin Biscuit,
Frotana, Graham Crackers, Social Tea
Biscuit, Zu Zu Ginger Snaps and others.
The object of the National Biscuit
company in giving this reception was
to impress upon every guest the nutri-
tive value Of their products. OF these
Uneeda Biscuit is easily the leaders in
popularity. As far back as history
traces, crackers in one form or other
have been valued as an article OF food
Only, however, in Uneeda Biscuit, has
the cracker attained perfection. Made
from the finest material the world af-
fords, they are richer in muscle and fat
elements, and tissue building properties
than any other article of food made
from flour.
Nabiseo Sugar Waters and Festino
Almonds were served as dessert. These
confections are two of the most delicious
products Of the National Biscuit com
pany.
The musical features of the entertain
ment, rendered BY Gilbertson's orchestra,
contributed largely to the esjoyment Of
the guests, who departed impressed
with the enterprise and hospitality OF
the National Biscuit company.

Reckless Shooting by Three
Young Men
ALSOPOOR MARKSMANSHIP
Young Men Set Up Pumpkin for Target

Struck the House Of

THAT all the members Of the families
Of William Gale and DR.. Clinton Gale

Of three young men Of this city who
fired seven rife shots into the house
OF VIM. Gale on Trow Hin.
The two families were all in the
house at the time, about 5;45, when
a bullet struck the house. But a few
seconds later another bullet shot
through the parlor window, and then
two bullets hit milk cans on the kitchen
stoop. DR.. Gale went to the kitchen
door to see if he could discover the
cause, and he had only opened the door
when another bullet struck on the iron
roof Of the piazza directly over his head.
The women, who we're BY this time
nearly frightened out Of their senses,
had taken refuge in back rooms, After
the shot on the piazza roof Dr.. Gale
telephoned to Deputy Sheriff Fl. ID.
Camp to come up as soon as he could,
as some one was plugging the house
full of bullets.
The deputy made quick time and was
there in 20 minutes, but the firing had
ceased. Mr.. Camp went over into the
field Of corn south Of the house, from
which direction tile shots had come, and

PARKER ON CORRUPTION.
Says Great Insurance Companies DOnat-
ed to Political Funds.

Esopus, n. v, Sept. ls.-Former
Chief Judge Alton B. Parker, last year
the Democratic candidate for president
of the United States, yesterday referred
to the charges made by him in the
presidential campaign last fall, that cor
poration funds were being used in aid
OF the Republican campaign. Relative
to the statement that President John
A. Mccall of the New York Life In
surance Company had caused a con
tribution Of about $4,000 to be made
last year to the Republican national
campaign fund, Judge Parker said;
''Yes, / believe / ought to say now
that there is no political excitement to
distract the public that the president
of the New York Life was not the only
such contributor The officers Of other
great life insurance companies, such as
the Equitable and the Mutual, also con-
tributed TO the policyholders funds for
campaign purposes last year. What has
been proved in the case Of the New
York Life win undoubtedly be proved
in the other cases. The facts exist.
and honest and able counsel, backed
BY an honest committee, viii undoubt-
edly bring them out for the public
good.
Were there an investigation of rail-
road, manufacturing and other corpora
tions ii would be found that these life
insurance officers were not the only COR
poration officers who put their hands
into the treasury and took out moneys
belonging TO widows and orphans to
help bring about partisan triumph.
tThat their acts were unlawful and
their purposes corrupt, goes without say
ing They intended to have the money
used, a. it was. in corrupting the elector-
ate. AIer Perkins makes the point that
John A. Mccall, president Of the New
York Life, is Democrat. Apparently
he would have the public assume that
when Mr. Mccall unlawfully and wrong
fully contributed these funds-the com
pany's share probably as a member Of
the underwriting syndicate-it was eyi-
denee Of political virtue, rather than
misconduct.

Secretary Taft's Party Left YOkOhoms
Yesterday.

Yokohoma, Sept. 1s.-Secretary Of
War Taft and party sailed at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon for san
Francisco on the steamer Korea amid
japanese enthusiasm. A reception was
given to Secretary Taft in the after
noon at the American consulate BY Yo-
izohoma merchants. Before sailing, Sec.
Taft said he thought that reports Of
the Japanese anti.peace demonstrations
had been greatly exaggerated in Amefi-
ca. He and his party had found no
trace Of an anti.foreign feeling. While
prominent American persons had been
involved in a Toxic mob, he thought
that it was because the party was
caught in the mob and not because the
persons were Americans. Other churches
besides American churches had been
burned. There was special reason
in each case, but no general anti-foreign
feeling was responsible.
Secretary Taft said that he had ex-
amined the Chinese boycott closely. The
Chinese, he said, wanted American goods
and having already lost S15,000,000 by
the boycott, we're finding out that they
were cutting of their noses to spite
their faces.

tary post, on Saturday received letter
from Colonel Charles L. Nelson Of Mont

package containing camp tea kettle,
which was the personal property OF Gem

Colonel Nelson, had requested that the
kettle be presented to the garrison in
the name of the late Miss Lizzie X.

The kettle is always to remain at
the post in the hands Of the command
ing officer, whoever tie may be. Colonel
Wallace at present has it at his quar-

glass case aud mounted in conspicuous
place in the administration building,
