Throat Affected by Catarrh

Rev. H. w. Tate, 900 Lincoln Ave-.
Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
For several years 1 have been trou-
hled with a peculiar spasmodic affec-
ton of the throat. 1t would seize me
suddenly, and for a few minutes
would be unable to speak audibly, and
my breath would be greatly interfered
with. 1 would be obliged to gasp for
breath.
"I finally concluded that 1t was some
catarrhal affection which probably ex-
cited the spasm. 1t interfered with my
vocation as preacher. attacking me
occasionally in the pulpit.
"I had heard so much about Peruna
as catarrh remedy that 1 determined
to try it. After taking two bottles my
trouble has disappeared. 1 feel sure
that Peruna has greatly benefited me. -
For catarrh of the respiratory organs

PROMINENT EAGLE
DIES OF INJURIES
tuberculosis of Bones and Brain Re-
suits from Laceration and Proves
Fatal-Funeral This
Afternoon

Robert Atkinson, a well-known lodge
man of Los Angeles, died at his home
in this city Friday night of tuberculo-
sis of the bones, brought on by an acct
dent in which Mr.. Atkinson was in
jured.
The deceased was past grand presi-
dent of the Eagles aerie No. II of
Butte, Mont, and was a prominent
member of that order in Los Angeles
In Butte and Spokane Mr. Atkinson
conducted wholesale liquor business.
He moved to Los Angeles some time
ago and contemplated starting liquor
establishment here. The accident,
which resulted fatally, cut short his
intentions. More than q year ago At
kinsOn attempted to cross Temple
street, thinking himself able to dodge
runaway team. He was hit and
thrown to the ground and his knee
lacerated. At that time the streets
were dusty and the laceration became
infected with tuberculosis germs.
The disease spread to the bones and
several operations were performed in
an effort to check it's course, but all
in vain. Two months ago the effect of
the small laceration had been such
that amputation of the leg was neces-
sary.
Since that time Mr.. Atkinson suf-
lolbQ lhNNAloS pam III his H6dQ and an
operation was performed on his brain,
physicians thinking an abscess had
formed. 1t was then discovered that
the dread disease had penetrated even
to the brain.
Death resulted Friday evening, the
suffering man being attended during
the last hours of his illness by his
friends Garfield Gillis and Jack Brown.
A widow and two children survive.
The funeral will be under the direc-
tion of the Eagles and many beautiful
floral offerings have been presented by
lodgemen and friends OF the family.
Services will be held at the undertake
ing parlors OF Cunningham & OCon-
nor this afternoon at o'clock.
The following pallbearers have been
announced; Garfield Gillis, Jack
Brown, Joe Naegel, Frank Perillatte,
Dick Richardson. William Murphy and
Paul Beares.

This is the most trying test that can

Los Angeles Is to Be No Longer Divorce Clearing
House for Eastern Couples Who Come Here for
Separation Rather Than Tell Their Nasty
Stories in Their Home Cities

The death knell Of Southern Califor-
MIA as a center for disturbed couples

courts far from the maddening throng
that has known them all their lives
has been sounded and with the coming
of the new week all divorce cases, un-
less contested, will be tried by the pre-
siding judge, N. p. Conrey.
During the past ten years Los Ange-
les has been the center OF divorce trou-
bles out of thirty to fifty divorces
granted during a month, nine-tenths
would be given to people whose homes
were in the eastern states and who,
had the truth come to light in the trial,
had simply come west i'm an effort to
air questionable details of married
strife in western courts where only
faint echoes of the trouble would drift

the preacher and are his constant liza

ALL INVITATIONS DECLINED
Secretary Taft will Not Visit
Any European Ruler.

Washington. Nov I.-There are In.
dlcations that Secretary Taft's de-
cision to recur to his original itinerary
and sail from Manila for Vladivostok
On his homeward journey next Mon
day, instead OF the week following as
he suggested to the president, was
after all based upon International and
not domestic consideration.
Soon after it had become officially
known that he intended to return to
America by way Of Siberia and Eu-
rope the foreign offices of various
countries which he would probably
traverse on his way to the Atlantic
seaboard began to interest themselves
IN his itinerary Diplomatic represen-
tatives OF some European governments
have already been making inquiries at
Washington as to the itinerary pre-
liminary to extending to him formal
invitations to their various capitals.
1t has been found quite impossible for
an official of his high rank to visit
one European country as the guest of
the sovereign without visiting the
capitals of other countries through
which he must pass on his homeward
journey. 1t is believed here that a
declaration of the administration that
acceptance Of invitations from these
capitals would be inexpedient has led
to the change in Secretary Taft's
plans, which will then enable him to
consistently decline all of them, for
the German emperor not being in Ber-
lin when the secretary reaches that
city the secretary will not be under
the necessity of making a beginning
in that respect.

Latest Estimate Of Victims Of Kara
taah Disaster.

taoh Disaster.
New Bokhara, Turkestan, Nov. -
The first reports of the catastrophe at
Karatagh were exaggerated. Instead
of $4,000 persons being killed only
about 200 lives were lost. Most of
these persisted under the landslide,
which buried 400 Of the 600 houses Of
the town.
Karatagh is situated in a small am
phitheater among lofty hills, the Kara
tagh mountain hanging over it on one
side and river flowing on the other
At the height of the recent earthquake
a great section of the mountain broke
away and slid upon the town., Houses
there were already falling on all sides
from the violence of the earthquake
and many Of the luckless Inhabitants,
unable to escape through the narrow
streets encountered by debris, were
caught and buried No building in
the town was left standing, the earth
quake levelling them all to their
foundations. All the survivors were
without shelter and relief expedition
with supplies has left New Bokhara
for the scene of the disaster.
