seems 70 know why it does this, but it
does, and does it wonderfully. You
notice the difference, in your appetite,
general good feeling and in the purity
of your blood, right away.
You'll have no more bad taste in

ly Sold for $4,000.
Developing Will Be Carried on
During the Winter.

Minden, Nov. 23.-Judge T. A. Hall
has received some private information
from a brother-in-1aw, who stands
close to the Mexican government Off
Gals, and who has been in Mexico for
many years, stating that a valuable
mineral deposit, was being held for him
and any friends he might desire to as
sociate with him in developing the
same.
The information was of such nature
as to cause the usually conservative
judge to get busy and he soon had a
joint stock company organized, the ex-
act capital of which is kept secret.
Among those interested in a heavy
Hall, Geo. Struth, w. H. McCluskey,
Robert Wadell Robert Hopper, Charles
White, B. T. Brooks, H. H. Brooks and
Charles Johnson.
1t is the plan of the company to
send two of their number to Old Mexi-
CO at once who will put in the winter
in developing the rich mining property
that is being reserved for them. 1t is
said that Mr.. Simpson, brother-in-law
of Judge Hall, has already sold one
claim for $4,000 and has one other op-
toned for 100000 with good chances of
its being taken.
1t seems that the Minden men have
dropped into real bonanza. It is prob
able that they will select Judge Hall
and w. H. McCluskey as the proper
persons to make the prospects and do
the development work.

The changeable weather during the
winter months is one of the greatest
foes with which every family has to
contend.
Catarrh of the head and throat
abound with all their disagreeable
symptoms of hacking and coughing,
SneeZing and snuffling.
A remedy that will both relieve and
prevent these ailments Is of priceless
value to any family
Such remedy is Peruna.
Many a mother has discovered its
merits, not only when she herself is
attacked by some phase of catarrh,
but for the children also.
No sooner has one member of the
family been relieved-no sooner has
its efficacy been discovered in one
case, than it is tried in another case.
Soon the discovery is made that Pc
runa is a reliable family remedy, good
for mother and daughter, father and
son.
No wonder so many mothers praise
1t. No wonder so many fathers insist
on keeping it at hand.

ROADS REFUSE REDUCTIONS.
To Clergy and Others Who Engage in
Reform Work

Western roads have finally decided
to abolish their clergy bureau at the
close of the current calendar year. On
and after Jan. next they will make
no reduced rates for clergymen or
other religious workers in any state
where 2 cents mile is the maximum
rate that may be charged In other
territory, where a higher rate still is
legal, such as South Dakota or north
ern Michigan, each road for itself will
attend to its issue of tickets sold at
reduced rates. The transcontinental
roads, however, will maintain their
clergy bureau and issue tickets in ter
ritory west of Colorado and Utah.

The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days Of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but If a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
hoYe to the public parallel fact; that
thd seQmacS is the most vulnerable organ

TAPPED" a CAR OF WINE.
Pratt County Man Under Arrest on a
Serious Charge.

Pratt, Kan, Nov. 23.-Detective
Boyle, of the Rock Island, assisted by
City Marshal Gillum and Sheriff Bur
nett, have made some arrests which
seem to be quite serious for a Rock
Island freight crew. A car of Cali
fornia wine and brandy had been
broken into and some of the LIQUID re-
freshments taken out while in transit.
The Rock Island detective got onto
the fact that the car seal had been
broken and after 1T had passed
through to Pratt he had it examined
at Langdon and found that several
bottles were missing. With the aid
of the local officers he searched the
room occupied by Brakeman Drake at
J. J. Rolls home and found five bot
ties or the wine and brandy. At
Brakeman Myrick's rooms in Mrs. G..
