Sunday evening a work train,
with its crew, fell into the Neosho
river, west of Columbus. The Fris-
CO is putting in new steel bridge
at that point, and it was while the
big steel crane was swinging big
piece of steel into place that the
weight of it caused the train to top
pie over. Several of the workmen
were badly injured, and one man
will die. The engine which was
hitched to the train broke loose and
ran wild, but as the steam was low,
it was captured. A farmer named
Frank Wright, who saw it, caught
the engine and returned it to the

the people will thank them, let
them just go ahead and order all of
the old rattletraps torn down, and
forbid the building of any more.
Either put up nice canvass avn

galvanized iron, such as they have
in up-to-date towns. The iron avn

supported by brackets run out

up-to-date town should tolerate
wooden awnings, which are always
dangerous and all the time out of

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in SO many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind Peruna
is perfectly harmless. It can be used any
length Of time without acquiring drug
habit. Peruna does not produce temporary
results. 1t is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh There are a
multitude of homes where Peruna has been
used off and on for twenty years. Such
a thing could not be possible If Peruna
contained any drugs of a narcotic nature.

BEEF SUPPLY SHORT.
The Receipts of Cattle Are Said to Be
Thirty Per Cent. Less Than
Than Normal.

New York, May "a shortage Of
80 per cent. in the supply of cattle on
the hoof is given by an official of the
Schwarzschild & Sulsberger company
as a reason for the advance in dressed
beef prices. This shortage is indicat-
ed by the daily receipts of cattle at
Chicago, Kansas City and other points.
The same official is authority for
the statement hat there has been a
falling off of between 20 and % per
cent. in the consumption of meat in
this country during the past few
months. This is due, in part, to the
agitation against the so-called beef
trust. as well as the higher prices for
meat resulting from the reduced sup
ply of cattle.
There will be no marked increase in
the supply of cattle until late summer
or fall when the ranch cattle will come
to market.

company is planning to extend its OPP
eraticns in Montana. Washington and
