CAUGHT BY THE GRIP--
 RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh

Y A GRIPPE spares no class or na- A tionality. The cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pauper, the masses and the classes are all sub iect to Ia grippe. None are exempt-all are liable.
 La grippe is well-named. The original term, Ia grippe, is French, but it has been shortened by the busy American to one word "grip."
 Without any intention of doing so, a new word has been coined which de- scribes the disease exactly.
 The aiIment cIings to the patient as tenaciously as if some terrible giant had clutched him in a fatal clasp.
 Men, women and children whole towns and cities are caught in the bane- fuI grip of this terrible monster. Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip caught yOuf If so, read the following letters.
 These testimonials will show you the quickest and best means of riddfng your after-effects.
 Suffered Twelve Years From After
 Effects Of La Grippe.
 MT. Victor Patneaude, BPS Madison St., Topeka, Kas., 8 well-known carpen- ter and member of Knights and Ladies of Security, writes:
 "Twelve years ago I had severe at tack of Ia grippe and never really re- covered my health and strength-but grew weaker every year, until l was unable to work.
 "TwO years ago began using PerunA and it built up my strength so thatin a couple of months I was able to go to work again.
 ''This winter had another attack of Ia grippe, but Peruna soon drove it out of my system.
 "My wife and I consider Peruna a household remedy"
 Pneumonia Followed La Grippe
 Pe-ru-na, the Remedy That
 Brought Relief.
 NIT. T. Barnecott, West Aylmer, On tario, Can, writes:
 "Last winter was i'll with pneumonia after having Ia grippe. I took Peruna for two months, when became quite well, and can say that any one can be cured by it in 8 reasonable time and at little expense.
 "Every time take a cold, take some Peruna, which makes me well again. ''I also advised it for my daughter who was so i'll with prostration that she could not follow her trade of dress making. aA bottle of Peruna made such 8 change in her that she has been able to follow her trade ever since.
 q also induced a young lady, who was
  to take Psruna, and after taking Peruna for three months she is able to follow her trade of tailoring.

HOCH'S DECLINING VOTE
 LESS NOW THAN 5000
A Falling Off Of Several Hundred From the Earlier Estimates Based or Reports From the Same Sources.

Topeka, Kas., Nov. IO.-At o'clock this afternoon Chairman Drummer or the state republican committee. had received official returns from sixty five counties. The vote showed a plu- rality of 2,535 for Hoch for governor over W. A. Harris, the democratic can didate.
 This is a reduction of several hun dred votes for Hoch from estimated votes heretofore given out from this same source
 Official elections returns as they come in continue to cut down Governor Hoch's plurality. but there is scarcely a probability now that they will bring his total below 200O.
 The few official counts for the entire state ticket indicate that the greater portion of the ticket won by pluralities of from 25.OOO to 3O.OOO. In nearly every county from which the count on the entire ticket has been received. HOch ran far behind

Fl Paso, Tex, Nov. 1O.-It was re ported here today on reliable authority that the Mexican Central railroad has been purchased by the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific and is now a part of the Rock Island system. A con meeting line will be built from Brown wood to IIl PasO to be used by the Rock Island in place of the El Paso and Southwestern tracks in entering EI Paso.
 This is said to be the important an nouncement which President A. A. Robinson stated in Mexico City would be made within a week The informa- tion Is derived from both American and Mexican sources
 The Mexican Central is the most im- portant line in the republic of Mex ico, and is the only railroad in Mexico that is not owned largely by the gov ernment. At present the Rock IslanG enters El Paso via Santa Rosa. N. M. over the Fl Paso and Northwesterr and Northwestern. a part of the Fl Paso and Southwestern system.
 Col. J. l.. Bell, who built the Fl Paso and Northeastern, and who has been here for some time, says that he is here for, the purpose of constructing an important line of railroad from Fl Paso to the northeast which is ex- pected to be the connecting link be = tween the Rock Island and the Mexi- can Central. This will be either from Brownwood or Amarillo.
