Francis Wilson in Comedy.

Cousin Billy and THE Little Father
of the Wilderness" will be the double
bill in which Charles Frohman will pre-
sent Francis Wilson at the New Ma
tonal Theater all next week. Mr.. VIII
son will be first seen in the thTee-act
comedy Cousin Billy which Clyde
Fitch wrote especially for him and in
which he has been received so success
fully all this season after a run of over
four months at the Criterion Theater,
New York
Cousin Billy will be followed by
new one-act- comedy, The Little Faith
er of the Wild erness." by Austin
Strong and Lloyd osbourne. which Mr..
Wilson offered for pubic approval in
Philadelphia two weeks ago. In this
play Mr.. Wilson is seen as a Jesuit
priest, a missionary returned to France
from that new France which Pere
Marquette and his fellow-worhers had
been making in the great Northwest.
Strange as it may seem TO tie many
theaterSoers who have followed with
delight the antics Of Mr.. Wilson in the
perennial "Erminie" to see him in
comedy without music such as is
Cousin Billy" 1t must be stranger
still 10 them to see him in such role
as that Of Pere Marlotte in The Little
Father of the Wilderness" where his
work must come at once into COM
rarison with that offered by the best
of our legitimate actors.
On account of the double bill the cur
tain at the New National will rise at
s o'clock for the evening performance,
and at o'clock for the Saturday matt
nee during the week of Mr.. Wilson s
engagement The original cast and
production OF both plays will be seen
here.

The Marvellous. Success of Pe-ru-na.

HERE has been no other medicine compounded in the
history of the world that has actually accomplished
many permanent Peruna.
Even the enemies of Peruna obliged to reluctantly
admit this Explain it they may the people buy Peruna
and cured
They cured after they have been given up by the
doctors and after they have tried other remedies vain
Catarrh is very prevalent disease It not only af
fects the head throat and its location
but 1t may affect other organ of the body.
During the spring and summer months catarrh per-
haps prevalent during the winter months only the
catarrh is located in different organs.
During the winter months the respiratory organs-the
head, throat and lungs-are most commonly affected
During the spring and summer months, the digestive
and secretve organs the stomach, bowels liver and kid
neys-are most likely to be affected.
1t is during the months that catarrh of the pei
VIC organs is also quite prevalent
In the of all these catarrhal affections Peruna
has competitor 1t is absolutely the only medicine
pounded that has stood the test Of time for these ailments
Other medicines have been recommended for catarrh
and for brief period they secured attention But
they and go with great rapidy while the popularity
Of Peruna steadily increases.
Hundreds Of caarrh remedies, in imitation of Peruna
have been devised but after brief disappear
to be mentioned again
Everybody in the United States has heard of Peruna.
The vast majority of people have taken at time
other. Millions Of people have been cured by it.
There never remedy devised by man that has re-
ceiyed many unsolicited testimonials many strong
endorsements by people of national reputation.

Excessive Doses of Pe-ru-na.

HI HIE excessive doses of Peruna are not likely to do
w any especial harm in the system, yet to take Pc
larger doses than prescribed entirely misses the
benefit which Peruna is intended to produce
The small Doses oft repeated secure the best results
from taking Peruna
Owing to the purity of the composition of Peruna and
It's perfect freedom from narcotics any harmful drugs
large dose of Peruna will de especial injury but it is
equally true that will receive lasting benefit from
its use in this way.

MAYOR WEAVER
IS THREATENED
WITH PROSECUTION BY THE
PHILADELPHIA GANG.
" He Touches Any Of the "Big Men
He Will Be Arrested on Grim
inal Charge.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 23.-Two
startling incidents marked today's de-
yelopments in the municipal house
cleaning scandal.
John w. Hill. former chief of the
filtration bureau, was re-arrested and
hailed before Magistrate Eisenbrown
on charges of forgery and fraudulently
making false records in the McNichol
contracts. The warrant was based upon
an affidavit made by Chief of Detec-
tives Donaghy, after conference with
Assistant Director of Public Works
Hicks. and Mr.. Hill was again held
to bail to answer the second charge.
Harry e. Garrett, former attache
of the filtration bureau, who at Hills
first hearing was said to be absent
from the city, appeared at the magis-
trate's Office today and gave his testi-
mony against his former chief.
If either of the big men of the city's
ring shall be arrested as a result of the
investigation that Mayor Weaver is
making into the filtration contracts,
reprisals, IT is said, will come swift and
sure. In organization circles the state
ment is being boldly made that the
leaders are now ready to strike back,
and that if any of the big men" are
touched Mayor Weaver himself will
be arrested and hailed before a magls-
trate on an alleged criminal charge.
Just what that charge is none of the
men in the confidence of the leaders
will tell. but there is a very general
impression that the Christmas presents
the mayor is alleged to have accepted
from politicians will figure in some
way in the charges that will be made
against him.

DAVIS PROPERTY
IN CARROLL CO.
HAS BEEN APPRAISED AT SUM
OF $125,ooo.
Employe Who Loaned Him Money on
Live Stock Security Now
Stands Pat.

Carrollton. June 23.-The property of
w. L. Davis in Lindentree, this coun-
ty, has been appraised at $125,OOO.
This includes three miles of switch,
the mine, company houses and per-
sonal property.
The store which was operated by'Da-
Wis, it seems, was the property of
Canal Dover man. who is now con-
Quoting it.
AT the time the mines closed down
two pays, amounting to S2,7OO, were
due the men; since then they have re-
ceived one pay, about $1,000.
Davis, it is alleged, borrowed money
from several of his employees at Lin
dentree. Z. II. Stratton loaned him
about 5000. Davis, it seems, gave STRAIT
ton as security some cattle and horses,
and after the failure Stratton disposed
of them. Some of the other creditors
objected to this and have urged the
receiver to compel Stratton to refund
the money. Mr.. Stratton, however,
stands pat and declares the transac-
tion is straight.
1t is hoped that matters may be
Strengthened out so that the mines will
be operated again, as they are consid-
cred among the best in Carroll county.

INVESTIGATING MENTOR WRECK
State Railroad Commissioner Refuses Aid of Com
panys Men, Preferring to Conduct Inquiry
Himself lone Body Still Unidentified.

Cleveland, o., June 23.-State Rail-
way Commissioner Morris today be-
gan personal investigation of the
wreck of the Twentieth Century Linn
tied at Mentor. He declared that the
wreck was caused, beyond all doubt,
by the open switch which led the train
into the siding. Morris refused the
offer of services of the company's Sc
cret service force in his investigation,
preferring to conduct it with his own
men. He found that the train did not
jump the track unit the engine had
proceeded more than 80 feet into the
siding. He saiG: THE engineer must
have seen red light before he got to
the switch, for he applied the emer-
gency brakes before reaching It," The
fireman, according to the investigation
of the commissioner. did not see the
red light at all, which proves conclu-
sively that the perpetrator of the deed
threw the switch when the limited was
but a short distance away, and it was
impossible for the engineer to stop.
The miscreant then had a mple oppor-
tunity to escape in the darkness It
was also discovered that a vacant
house which has long been the stop
ping place of hoboes, and which stood
very near the switch, was occupied by
the wanderers shortly before the train
was wrecked All of them had disap-
peared, however when a search was
made for them after the wreck.
