ing by vote of 8 to 2. the Beard

was Indefinitely postponed. which
action is but an easy way of killing,
as it will not be heard Of again this
session 1t was given a dose of NOR
phine, instead of being hit with an
axe. However. it will answer all
purposes. 1t was clearly demostrat-

travisty upon justice and that it
would not stand the test in any
court.

CAUGHT BY THE Grip
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
laCrippe Is Epidemic Catarrir.

TT spares no class or nationality. The
l. cultured and the ignorsnt,t the aristo-
crat and the pauper, the masses and tho
classes are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt-all are liable.
Grip is well named. The original
French term, Ia grippe, has been short
ened by the busy American to read
"grip."
Without intending to do 20, q new
word has been coined that exactly
describes the case. Asif some hideous
giant with awful grip had clutched NJ
in its fatal clasp.
Men, women, children, whole towns
and cities are caught in the baneful grip
of q terrible monster.
Have you the gripf Or, rather, has
the grip got your II 30, read the fol-
lowing letters.
These testimonials speak for them
selves as to the efficacy of Peruns in
cases Of Ia grippe or its after-efiects:
Saved by Pe-ru-na.
Hon. James r. Quill is one of the old
est and most esteemed men Of Omaha,
Neb. He has done much to make it
what 1t is, serving on public boards
number of times. He endorses Peruns
in the following words:
81 am 6S years old, am hale and hearty
and Peruna has helped me attain 1t.
Two years ago had la grippe-my life
was despaired Of. Peruna saved me."-
j. r. GULL.
A Relative OF Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Silas 3. Lincoln, who resides at
9l3 street, N. w., Washington, d. O.,
has the honor of being third cousin to
Abraham Lincoln. He writes:
81 had la grippe five times before us
ing your medicine. Four years ago I
began the use of Peruna, since which
time have not been troubled with that
disease.
81 can now do as much work at my
desk as ever could in my life. have
gained more than ten pounds in
weight."-S. s. Lincoln.
Pe-ru-na Not Only Cured La Grippe but
Benefited the Whole System.
Miss Alice M. Dressler, 1918 N. Bryant
Ave., Minneapolis, Mimi, writes:
LAST spring suffered from la grippe
and was partially cured, but the bad
after-effects remained through the
summer and somehow 1 did not get
strong as was before.
"One Of my college friends who was
visiting me asked me try Peruna and I
did so and found 1t all and more than 1
had expected.
at not only cured me of the catarrh
but restored me to perfect health, and
built up the entire system."-Alice M.

Republican Office Holders.

tTomkinsvllls Herald.l
Republican office holders are as a
rule credit to party and to country.
The smooth economical and success
full rnnning of any government de-
ponds very largely on its representa-
tives of all classes scattered through
out the country. No sooner did the
Republican party take over reigns
of National Government nearly fifty
years ago than it proceeded under
the immortal Lincoln to put in its
best men to discharge the peoples
services. The principle actuating
the imperishable emancipation was
to get the best men to serve all the
people not merely the best man to
serve the party. Big-hearted and
broad-minded Abraham Lincoln
knew that the party man in Office
who best serves the country will also
best serve the party. Nor did Lin
csln allow personal considerations to
interfere with selection for office.
Take the one case of Salmon P.
Chase of Ohio whom he made Chief
Justice of the Uuited States. Many
others might be mentioned but the
Chase is very pertinent and striking
as it is pertinent.
Chase had one leading ambition to
to which all others were subordinat-
ed to be President of the United
States. While member of Lincoln's
official household as Secretary of the
Treasury he plotted and schemed
for the Republican Presidential NOM
iuation in 1864. Lincoln was aware
all along of the underhand course
pursued by his Secretary but bore
with it patiently till Chase having in
a moment of pique resigned his Sec
