Pe-ru-na As a Family
Medicine.

WHEN man OF undoubted reputa-
w ton comes out squarely in public
print, giving unqualified endorsement to
household remedy there must be some
thing genuine to account for it.
Hon. W. G. Hunter, Of North Caro-
lima, well-known in Washington and
throughout the Southern States, says OF
Peruna that he reg ards it rs the greatest
family medicine ever discovered.
He does not hesitate to say that
Peruna invigorates and gives fresh
strength to mind and body.
Such testimonials rs this ought to
make Peruna popular.
No advertising known to the arts OF
man, no commercial management could
ever raise Peruna to such a high stand
ard of appreciation rs the frank and I'M
qualified statements Of such men.

He SHOWED GREAT EMOTION
But When Asked to Speak Before Every
one, Juror Evans Refuses--Former
Wife Of Orchard corroborates His
Testimony-Darow Again in Court.

BOISE, Dec. 20.--Immediately after
court adjourned this afternoon in the
Pettibone trial. after day marked by
intense interest, Juror Evans arose and
asked permission Of Judge Wood to
make statement to the court and the
leading counsel OF the case. Judge Wood
stated, after studying moment, that
it would not be proper for him to speak
to them in private, but that if he had
anything to say he could speak in open
court as the jury could not be sepa-
rated. IL have no objection to speaking
in the presence Of the Jurors said
Evans, but when the judge told him to
speak, the juror, turning to pass out
with the rest, said 81 do not think that
proper" The juror was flushed as he
spoke and his eyes filed with tears, in
dicating that whatever he wished to say,
he considered of grave Importance. The
attorneys on both sides profess to have
no information of what the juror pro-
posed to tell.
Evidence in corroboration of Harry
Orchards testimony was given this af-
ternoon by Mrs. Ida Toney, Orchards
second wife, who was on the witness
stand all afternoon, and will be recalled
tomorrow for further examination. She
told Of Pettibone coming to their home,
in Independence, under the name OF
Morgan, bringing with him a small

going to the Bill Davis home; Of Or

large roll of money, after one of his
trips to Denver. and Of her efforts to
find him after his disappearance.
Most Of the morning was consumed
with the cross-examination OF young
Charles Neville. Darrow was in court

NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.-James Il.
0liphan;, senior member ofthe stock
exchange firm OF James ii. 0fphant &
Co.. was fatally injured by a bullet
wound inflicted yesterday afternoon in
his Office, b Charles A. Geiger, custo-
mer from Beaufort, s. G., who after fir
ing upon Oliphant. killed himself. Oil
phant died at 2:30 this Saturday
morning. The men were closeted in Oil
plants private Office at the time OF the
shooting and all that is known OF the
incidents Immediately preceding the
shooting was learned from the lips Of
the dying broker. 0liphant said his
refusal to extend further credit to
Geiger caused the tragedy. There is
reason to believe however that Geiger
had become mentally irresponsible. A
notebook found on his person contained
computation by which the writer had
apparently figured he would be worth
$S,0O0,OOO by January l, 1908. He ac-
tually possessed SO far as personal eff
fects showed less than $ll. Geiger
owed oliphant $4,000, and had been asked
for settlement. He called at their
office today, and after explaining he
could not meet the obligation, asked
that the firm advance him sufficient
money to carry 500 shares of some stock
until the rise in price should yield him
profit. His proposition was refused and
the shooting followed. In searching
Geiger's effects the coroner came across
the entire correspondence between Gel
ger and the firm since he began trading
with them. There was also found Gel
gers bank book. telling eloquently OF
the dwindling account from $4,000
to $3.50, all he had left. A letter from
oliphant that made Geiger realize his
disaster was near, informed him the firm
had carried him from Is to 2l months,
at 6 per cent, and that in these critical
times the firm was no longer able toI
carry it at that interest, and unless the
debit balance of $4,000. resultant on the
recent depreciation of securities, was
not Forthcoming the firm intended to-
close him out. Geiger reached New York
Thursday and called on oliphant yester-
day morning, and though evidently dis
appointed. left without any unpleasant
ness at not receiving further credit. In
the afternoon he returned and renewed
the proposition and upon being again
refused. suddenly drew a revolver and
commenced firing.

ATTACKED BY DEER.

NEW YORK. Dec. 20.--John Quinn,
keeper in Bronx Zoo. was attacked by
a fiye-mule or black tail deer yesterday.
and seriously injured. He entered the
paddock where the deer are kept to feed
them, when suddenly one of the animals
rushed at him with lowered antlers,
knocking him down and tearing his
clothing. Immediately the four others
joined the attack, striking Quinn vigor-
ously with their hoofs and horns. Quinn
fought back as well as he was able and
his cries attracted several other keep
ers. BY the time they had entered the
paddock and driven off the infuriated
animals with clubs, Quinn was uncon-
scious. A physician said that he had
two broken ribs, several bad scalp
wounds and many bruises and abrasions
about the arms and body.
