Catarrh and Deafness.

Mrs. E. D. Lawson, Navasota, Tex.
writes:
ut is with great pleasure that write
to tell you that my little daughter is
entirely cured of cafarrh and deafness
and is in better health than she has been
for the past two years. Peruna is truly
great medicine and I cannot saw too
much in praise of it. 1t has done for my
little girl whatdoctors have failed to do.
She has taken not quite three bottles"
IF the practical women of the world
Il who use family medicines, were
asked which is the most reliable family
medicine in use today, great majority
of them would reply, without hesita-
ton, Peruna.
Peruna is especially praised by the
women because they have abundant OPP
portunity to note its prompt effects in
relieving the various ills to which the
family is liable.
Coughs, colds, Indigestion, collie, kid
ney and bladder trouble, nervous weak
ness, loss of appetite, irregular circula-
tion-all these and many other ailments
dependent upon the exigencies of eli
mate are promptly relieved by Peruna.
Peruna has been prescribed for the
family by DIR. Hartman for over forty
years. 1t has become Q standard med.
lcine throughout the greater part of
the civilized world.

ex-President of France, died suddenly at

published until this morning when it
startled Paris.

fluenZa. He was not even confined to
his bed. At about o'clock yesterday
evening an abrupt prostration occurred.
the ex-President was taken to bed. DR..
sL.aEdouZy was called in ana the patient
was given morphine injections.
Jean Paul Pierre Casinlir-Perief, ex-
= President Of the French republic, was
the son and grandson of statesmen. His
father, Auguste Casimir-Perier. was
minister of the interior in 1873 and his
grandfather was leader of the oDposi-
ton when Louis Philippe assembled
the throne and afterwards was premier.
The cx-President was born Nov. g. 1884,,
and after brilliant career as a student
he joined the militia of tho Aube dur
ing the Irranco-Prussian war and when
they were summoned to Paris Casimir-
Pericr behaved with sucn gallantry

The Legion OF Honor.

In the ministry Of III" interior. In 1874
he vas elected to the Chamber of Dep
uties and he was reelected III 1873. He
became under-secretary of state at the
ministry of public instruction and re-
taired that post until the Dufaure cab

Casimir-Percr. Jr., was appointed I'M

of war and in 1890 he was elected vice
president of the Chamber. and presi-
dent of the budget committee.
In the summer of 1894 he was elected
President of the French republic, I'M

President Carnot. He was not popular
owing to his opposition to the agencies
which threatened the nationar security
Serious differences arose between
Casimir- Perer and his supporters and
eventually. on Jan. Il, 1895. Casimir-
Perier resigned. having held the Pres
idcncy about six months and a half. 1t
was asserted that his act was con-
dernncd by the whole of Europe. Dur
- ing the Zola trial. it developed that the
real reason for Casimir-Periers rcsig-
nation was the fact that his cabinet
concealed material facts OF policy from
him. so that he nearly found himself in
serious quarrel with Germany, owing
to his ignorance of the Dreyfus scandal

the weather kept in this vicinity show
that the present winter has been onr
of the most severe in many ears. An
aggregate of 107i2 inches Of snow has
fallen. considerably more than The
average. and unusually low thcrmom-
eter records have been the rule. The
lowest temperature recorded was f6
degrees below zero at Derby line.
A thaw is seriously needed by farm
ers in many sections OF the state on
account of the scarcity of water. In
several instances farmers have been
hauling water for long distances, either
on account Of low water or frozen
pipes. Wells and springs were very
low in the fall and the ground froze
to a considerable depth before there
was much rain or snow.

The committee found. according to

that when tn" supply of cars is suiIi-

OF the organization built up by those

committee has only words of highest
commentator. Sanitary conditions are
declared tn be excellent. OF the hous-

Victory For Trust.
willy Attorneys May Have Found a
LoophoIe For Escape.

Chicago, March 12.-The outcome Ct
the Standard Oil cose on trial before
United state Circuit Judge Lands is
hanging IN the balance. While almost
all have been overruled there remain
three still undecided which, if sustain

These objections in brief are that the
Chicago & Alton traffic sheets We're not
posted in two conspicuous places in the
station at Chappelle, ILL.,; that Chap
pelle is not named in the Chicago & AL
ton tariffs as q shipping station, and
consequently there is no violation Of
the E.ikis law il the Chappelle counts
That the government has not shown
the existence of q 191a-Cent rate on oil
from ChaDrelle to st. Louis. Mo, and
that mere filing Of the bridge tariffs
by the Alton did not constitute the es-
adjustment Of such q rate.
OF these three objections the first is
the most important. from the stand
point of its far-reac ching effect should
it be sustained. 1t has been fairly well
established that the tariff sheets were
not posted not only in Chappelle but in
every station from which the Standard
Oil Co. shipped its products. If Judge
Lands holds this neglect Of the rail-
road company absolves the shipper,
the prosecution in this case and those
started under all the other indictments
will fall.
This posting Of tariffs is asserted to
be part # the publication provided in
the Elkins law. Under it's provisions

chosen by Dowie as the ecclesiastical
rulers of his church in Zion City, held
formal services. which they said, We're
the only possible ceremonies under the
Christian Catholic Apostolic church III
Zion.
Cutler had persuaded five Of his au-
thorized assistants, Deacons Crawford,
Smelling, Chad, GOttschalk and Braun,
to hold to their original stand. In
spite of q driZzling night his residence
was crowded.
The services We're modelled upon
those conducted by Dowie at the grave
of his daughter, and they included the

was merely talking in his sleep as he
had done every night for weeks
The meeting closed with declarations
from almost every one present that
they would remain in the present body

choose as his successor. Then they
will flock to his support Many ex-
