IN FORTY-EIGHI HOURS
PE-RU-NA CURED him.
Cold Affected Head and Throat
Attack Was Severe.

Chas. W: Bowman, list Lieut. and
Adjt 4th M. S. NJ. Cav. Vols, writes
from Lanham, Md, as follows:
Though somewhat averse to patent
medicines, and still more averse to be-
coming a professional affidavit man, it
seems only plain duty in the present
instance to add my experience to the
columns already written concerning the
curative powers Of Peruna.
81 have been particularly benefited
by its use for colds i'm the head and
throat have been able to fully cure
myself of d most severe attack in
forty-eight hours by its use according
to directions. Iuse it as q preventive
whenever threatened with an attack.
Members of my family also use it
for like ailments. We are recommend
ing it to our friends. &C. w. Bowman.
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. 1t can
be used any length of time without &C
quiring a drug habit.

DUPED BY FALSE QUEEN.
Boston Italians Pay $4,000 to Pseudo
Carlotta, Who Has Disappeared,
for Prospective Honors.

Boston, Mass, May 15.-Italians here,
who for eight years have been paving
large sums to a woman they believed was
Carlotta, widow Of the Emperor Max
imilian of Mexico, brother of the I'm
peror Francis Joseph of Austria, to en-
able her to secure the Austrian throne.
to which she claimed to be the rightful
heir, are looking for the woman, who dis
appeared. In that time she collected $40
600, saying she would make them dukes
and duchesses, noblemen, and court mu-
sicians, and give them vast estates.
Carlotta's aids were several select and
dashing young, men of various nation
alities. Among them was one, Moriarity,
who represented himself to be the crown
prince Rud olph, the eldest son of Emper-
or Francis Joseph, who, in January,
1889, shot himself
The effect was enhanced by the pres
ence on each side of the throne of cour-
tiers, and in the background, gaudily ar
rayed in stage arms" that clanked at
proper intervals, but not too loudly, so
the tin might be detected, stood fierce
looking body guard to protect the per-
son of the alleged future queen.

HIS LIFE IS METEORIC.
Pardon of Former Kenosha Youth, Sent
Up for Forgery, Recalls an I'm
usual Career.

Kenosha, Wis, May 13.-[Special.l-
Among the list of pardons reported to
the Legislature by Gov. La Toilette on
Thursday was that of Herbert J. Thomp-
son from the state reformatory at Green
Bay.
Thompson was the confidential clerk
of A. d. Meiselbach and was sent to
Green Bay from this county on a charge
of embezzling funds of the Meiselbach
Typewriter company. His sentence was
an indeterminate one from one to five
years and he has served the better part
of four years.
Bert Thompson ten years ago was
a boy of 20, but he was held to be
wonder as bicycle salesman and became
independently wealthy by his work
With the waning of the business Thomp-
son lost his grip and his money; and, it
is alleged, Meiselbach picked him up on
the streets and gave him a position as
laborer in the Kenosha plant. In short
time Thompson became the confidential
clerk and bookkeeper of Mr. Meiselbach

Shortage Probably $4,000.
DIETZ GIVES IN FOR
$4,000, SAYS RUMOR.
Logging Company May Run 2o,ooo,ooo
Feet of Logs Through Cameron
Dam

Ladysmith, Wis, May 13.-[Special ]
-Four deputy United States marshals
returned from Cameron dam today and
it is rumored that a settlement has been
reached between Dietz and the logging
company.
1t is said that the company has agreed
to pay Dietz $4,000 for permission to
run their 100000 feet of pine logs
through Cameron dam. This rumor is
supported by the report that men have
been sent to the dam to drive the logs.
Ladysmith, Wis, May 13.-[Special.l
w. w. Dietz of Rice Lake, brother of
John Dietz, who is fighting a big corpora
ton for Cameron dam rights, says that
the deputy marShals were called away
from the dam by an agent of the logging
company. Drivers who were sent up
there are returning in small groups
through this city and say the driving
deal is off.
J. w. Spiegelberg, an estimator of long
experience, asserted last year that loss
to the logging company through deterio-
ration alone last season was more than
100000. He said that there were then
upwards of 100000 feet of the finest
logs in northern Wisconsin above the
dam, all being damaged by worms and
stain. Since then the company has cut
enough to make a total of at least 90
100000 feet and all this timber is sub
ject to the damage Of the elements, while
the game of bluff and buster is being
played.
Sentiment in Ladysmith and Gates
county-always favorable to Dietz-has
become much stronger recently.
John +. Dietz, the alleged outlaw, has
a farm of 100 acres, 100 of which are
improved and we'll stocked. He says in
a letter that he ''never felt more at ease
than now"
