ex-Congressman William Astor Chanler
of New York. and Sheriff Robert w.
Chanler of Duchess county. are counting
noses and laying their plans for another
attack upon their foe, the Republican

battered by their attacks, though Still
in the ring"-and "the ring is still in it,"
as malicious partisans put it.
''Those Chanler boys will raise the devil
in this county," predicted the leader of
the Republicans, the late Congressman

verified the prediction. Last fall brother
Bob was elected sheriff, although the
county is normally heavily Republican.

Personal Anecdotes

Recently Prof. Edmund Burke OF the
College of the City of New York received
a letter from a press clipping bureau.
The letter informed the professor that
his patronage was desired, and that as a
sample of the bureaus work he would
find enclosed clipping from a speech by
President Roosevelt in which he had
quoted the professors words.
Prof. Burke read the clipping nearly
through before he realized that the presi-
dent was quoting from Edmund Burke's
Speech on Cancellation with the American
Colonies in 1775.
When Rev. DR.. Chapman had concluded
his talk, he made the usual appeal for
contributions, however small Coming up
to the platform with several others. a
small boy mounted to the level of the lec-
turer and, Fastening toward him, said:
.sPlease, sir, was very much interested
in your lecture, and-and--
go on, my little man." said the mis-
sionary encouragingly 'You want to
help in the good work 2
..Not exactly, sir" said the boy. What
I want to know is. have you any foreign
stamps you don't want?'
When George Ade was a newspaper re-
porter he was sent to write up an Irish
laborer who had fallen from building.
When Mr.. Ade arrived on the scene sew
eral officers and others were helping the

Commanding officers at posts receive
men receive the same allowances that

The Evolution of
 Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine pusi- ness is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies.
 Tn the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, hitters, laxatives ard tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compound cd by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apotheeaTy or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was sIoes and ouassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made of whiskey. hops and bitter barks. A score or mere Of popular, homemade remedies were thus compounded. the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, som metimes written, sometimes verbally communicated.
 The patent medicine business is natural outgrowth from this whole some, old-tine custom. h the begin ming, some erterprising doctor, im- pressed by the usefulness of one of these homemade remedies, would take it up, improve ii in many ways, manu- facture it on 6 large scale, advertise 1t mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over large area. LATIERLY THE HOUSE. HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
 Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. l; was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before 1t was offered te the public for sale. pr. Hartman. TIE ORIGINAL COM FOUNDER Or PERUNA, is of Men- nonite origin. First, he prescribed it fer his neighbors end his patients. The sale Of i; increased, and ct last he established manufactory and fur nished II 10 tEe general drug trade.
 Peruna is useful 1T 6 great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, tronehitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE or PERUNA and it's value in the treatment oi these ailments. They have learned 70 trlst and believe in pr. Hartman judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna.

MRS HENRY LEE

OwIng to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand ap- breaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing d train of very annoying and sometimes ainful symptoms.
 This Is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain.
 When her system is in a deranged condition or she IS prediSposcd to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this pcrio od likely to become active and with a host of nervous irritations make life n burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes. headaches, baebaehes, melaneholia, dread of im- pending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularities. constipation and dizzi- ness are promptly needed by intel ligent women who are approaching the period of life when this great change may be expected.

of Large Number of
Bills.

DIES MONIES, April L-(special. THE

neys or firms in each county for each

state The section Of the bill relating to
the reports is likely to be entirely re-
written. The bill is between the two
houses OF the assembly.
The senate took a step this morning IN
the direction OF adjournment by passing
the stookey resolution TO quit next Fri
day. This means that an adjournment VIII
be taken at that time II both houses are
near enough TO a finish. The senate also
arranged for a sitting committee, consist
ing Of Smith OF Mitchell, Peterson, Dun
ham. Whipple, Mates. Lambert and Stir
ton

Two sides to Appeal.
Hambleton of Mahaska is seeking to get
bill through during the closing days Of
the session which will give a chance for
an appeal to the district court from the
action of a board OF review in case the
board fixes the assessment at too low n
figure. Under the present law II the board
of review leaves the amount too high the
property owner can appeal. The property
owner is the only one who has any right
to appeal. II the figure is too high he
will appeal and, of course will not appeal
| IL It is too low. Hambleton in his bill pro-
vides that any citizen could appeal The
senate amended the bill so as to limit the
right Of appeal OF the owner of the prop
erty assessed and to any state. county or
| school officer affected. The bill is now I'm
