A Case of Spriag Catsrrh.

Mrs N. p. Lawler, 423lG N. Broadway,
Pittsburg, kas., writes: Last spring l
caught "A severe cold, which developed
into serious case of catarrh. l felt
weak and sick, and could neither eat
nor sleep well.
"A member of our club who had been
cured of catarrh through the use of Pc
runa advised me to try it, and | did SO
at once. l expected help, but nothing
like the wonderful change for the better
l observed almost as soon as | started
taking it. In three days | felt much
better, and within two weeks l was in
fine health. Peruna is wonderful

HORRORS OF DARK AGES.
Visions Conjured Up in Torture Room
Of Ancient Tyrant.

The horror of horrors in all Italy Is
found at Padua, known as the torture
rooms of that Economical monster of
cruelty, Ecelino, a thirteenth century
ruler of Verona, Padua, Vicenza and
Brescia. His cruelties finally became
so intolerable that the church pro-
claimed crusade against him. The
peasantry rose and farmer killed the
brute with scythe. I was shown an
upright box in which was the skeleton
OF victim. Two apertures enabled
the condemned to see table, just
out of reach, crowded with food and
drink. To-day, it is stage food and the
wine is colored water, but the realism
Is intense The climax of shudders
was reached when / came to block
in the center of small square room.
Nailed to the chopping block, severed
midway between the wrist and elbow,
lay the dainty hand of a woman just
as it had been chopped from the living
arm! The instant my eyes saw this
sight the cell seemed to resound with
the shrieks of the terrified woman,
and, although the hand l gazed upon
was of wax, the mental shock pro-
duced was dreadful beyond conception.

Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
--Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost
Of Seventy-Five Cents.

''My little boy when only an infant
of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and a light dress Is all he could wear.
I called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered SO terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. | had almost given up hope
when lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. / used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies nay baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and
would have gladly paid 500 if / could
not have got it cheaper. feel safe in

ARE LoFTIEsT OF MINES.
Worked by lncas and Now to Be
Opened by New Company.

1t is thought that the old Caylloma
silver mines in Peru are probably sit
uated at greater elevation than any
other considerable mines in the world.
Their altitude varies between $4,000
and 1900 feet. They were worked by
the Spaniards In the sixteenth century,
and before that, it is believed, by the
Incas. An English company is now
preparing a hydro-electric plant for
them. This plant will be situated at
an altitude of between $4,000 and 49,
900 feet. 1t will derive its power from
a waterfall on the Santiago river, and
in dry season from Lake Huaillacho,
one of the sources of the Amazon. The
power will be. transmitted by cable
about three miles. At the highest
mines the pressure of the atmosphere
Is only eight and one-half pounds a

The Show Incomplete.

Jamestown Exposition Grounds,
April 26.-Up to the hour of the
presidents arrival on the grounds a
large force of workmen was busily
engaged cleaning up the debris about
the pier and the roads over which
the president would pass to the right
Of the grand stand In spite Of the
labors of the men the landing was not
inspiring. Huge piles Of timber and
gravel upon either side Of the presl-
dents path and the walk itself was
little better than the country roads.
In the great machinery building only
four out of the hundreds of individu-
al exhibits that are to fill it have been
installed. The pathetic unprepared-
ness of the whole show was due to
the fact that during the last few
weeks the weather has been about as
bad as could be expected, the work
men being unable to do little more
than navigate through the seas OF
mud.
The exposition managers assert
that within three weeks OF month
at the outside, the big show will be
all that can be desired.

The Attendance Small.

Jamestown Exposition Grounds,
April 2e.-The attendance at the
opening of the exposition was Woe
fully small ewing to the transporta-

crowds. When President Roosevelt
began speaking, not more than ten
thousand people had been able to
reach the grounds. While President
Tucker was making his address a
panic occurred in the great crowd
before the grand stand. Quick ac-
ton by the guards and regular troops
quieted the assemblage without seri-
Gus results.
