histrionic forces.

New York, July 20. Scouting from
the sky, photographing the camps and
descending Of the enemy from balloons
anu sending information by wireless
TO headquarters, are some Of the pos
sibilities Of warfare ofthe future which
Is being considered by Lieutenant
Colonel George P. Scriyen, chief of
the United States signal corps for the
department Of the East. Interest In
the tests to be held by the war depart
ment at Fort Myer In August.
While he does not believe that the
flying machine has yet proven Itself to
be entitled to consideration, Colonel
Scriyen said he believes that exper-
ments made In Europe and this
country with the dirigible balloon
show that these ships Of air will be
vigorous In collecting information
about the enemy, (which heretofore
has been impossible. He believes that
balloon scouts may be enabled to OBJ.
tain a Photographic picture showing
Notifications and the distribution Of
forces, by means Of the telephoto, a
new instrument with which objects at
a distance Of perhaps mile, can be
taken, showing details.
The balloon In warfare, said this
officer, might also be used to tow ex-
plosives through the air and drop
them into the enemy's sstrongholds.
He said that such war ballooning as
he foresaw might necessttate changes
in the construction Of our seacoast de
| lenses.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Shoulda list ofthe ingredients Of Pc
rana be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, ofwhatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was Of
undoubted value in chronic catarrhal
diseases and had ftood the test ofmany
years experience in the treatment Of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT.
EVER, Peruna is scomposed ofthe most
eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingred-
lent Of Peruna has reputation Of its
owninthecure phase fcatarrh
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BIEED KNOWLEDGE0F SEVERAL
sCH00Ls0F MEDICINE in the treat
ment Of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skin and knowl-
edge Of the modern pharmacist; and
last butnot least, brings to the home the
vast and varied experience Of Dr. Hart
man, in the use ofcatarrh remedies, and
in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. Itmay be Of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma.
ture Of the disease. The only trouble
Is the remedy. This doctor has tried
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED To
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrf
remedy can be made on a large scale
as he is making it; that it can be mad'
honestly, of the purest drugs and o
the strictest uniformity. His idea il
that this remedy can be supplied di
rectly to the people, and no more b.
charged for it than is necessary fol
the handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon thI
label the principal active constituents
showing that Peruna invites the full

BRANCH TRAIN MAY

Rumor Has it That The Branch is
to Leave Louisiana in The
Morning And Return to

ming.

1t is ruroored that the Chicago and
Alton Railroad Is arranging to In
crease the efficiency Of Its service be-
tween this city and Louisiana, and
at the same time give the people bet-
ter train service between Louisiana
and Jefferson City.
What the rumor proposes to have the
company do is to have Jefferson City
branch, instead Of starting from here
Of a morning and stopping Of night,
to run their train from Louisiana tC
Jefferson City in the morning, and re-
turn to Louisiana on the last trip
The train, however, is proposed tt
make the noon trip to this city only
and return from here at three o'cloci

LETTER FROM EDITOR LEDGER.
Says That Bryan is Much Stronger
in Ne York Than Ever Before
and From Reports Stands a
Fine Chance of Carrying
the State This Eall.

Southampton, L. l., N. T., July 2s,
1908. s.--"Uncle Sans Boys" are first in
war, first In commerce and first In ath-
letics. In the Olympic games Amer
lea was easily in front. In the track
and field events for which the United
States team was entered the score
'stands;-United States, ia l-S points;
United Kingdom, So 2-S points; other
nations, q points. The swift and
strong athletes carrying the emblem
Of the Stars and Stripes won more
points, therefore, than all the other
contestants combined.
While this final result is by no
means surprising, In We've of the per-
formances Of the American athletes
at home, it is none the less pleasing
to have the claims Of American su-
premacy confirmed by deeds.
A special cable dispatch from Lon
don depicts the animated scene swhen
the victors received their medals.
Another special cable tells some
new facts about the sensational finish
Of the Marathon race, wherein the
poor exhausted, almost senseless Ital
ian, Dorando, was helped across the
lime by overzealous officials. IL is en-
couraging to see that the London
newspapers condemned the amazing
action.
II there is one thing needed most In
an international event OF this kind u
is fair play. America, proud Of hel
athletic sons, asks no more.
| / find Bryan much stronger In New
i York than ever before, at least among
the gold standard Democrats. 1t 4
claimed that he is now much mor'
conservative and stands fine chanc'
OF carrying the State. Quite.a mum
Der Of Republicans do not favor Taft
claiming that be is not man OF hi
own mind, but is controlled by Roose
velt. This idea is not pleasing, evel
to some who admire the President AMI
"my policies"
Il The American people like a strong
rugged statesman: who has ideas AM
policies of his own. Bryan is such
man and stands on most excellen
, program, which we are sure has th
! endorsement OF a majority Of the vot
, ers Of this country. Anyway the pei
} sonallty of the nominee and his char
acter should count for a good deal
! as political platforms, like car plat
forms, are made to get in on and no
. to standson. Watch New York foe
, some "wise ones' and 60 for Bryan.

lished reputation in the hotel business.

Carl billiard Assumes Half
Interest in the Store.

W. Fl. Miller, Wednesday afternoon,
traded some personal property among
which were several hundred sheep,
some farming implements, hay, ETC.,
for the grocery stock OF J. s. Asbury.
Mr.. Asbury traded a farm to Keiser
s. Son several weeks ago for the
store.
Carl billiard, formerly with Keiser
s. Son, has purchased half interest In
the store, and now the firm will be
known as Miller d billiard,
Mr.. Miller formerly resided on a
farm east Of here. He sold the farm
some time ago. He is a most genial
gentleman, and with his partner, Mr..
billiard, who has had much experience
In the grocery line, we predict success
for this firm in their new business.

In itself that would prove a very
strong drawing card.
Such an assembly when its true
worth became really recognized would
prove Of inestimabis worth to the
city. 1t would draw great crowds.
1t would advertise Mexico as senter-
prIsing both In a business way and
educationally.
Speaking of advertising brings for
ward subject that is most important.
Assemblies held here Ia the past have
been poorly pushed from q publicity
standpoint. Every man or woman
that is on q Ohautauqua programme
has plenty OF advertising matter. II
properly distributed as well as posted
on the bill boards and exploited in the
press would mean enhanced attend
ance. The speakers who are known
cannot fail to draw II the public be
told OF their visit.
Have plenty OF newspaper stories
several weeks or two months previous
| to the assembly. See that the print
| ing is catchy and pretty. Tissue plenty
Of hangers that are colorful and will
catch the attention Of the passerby'
Something a man will hangIln his ofics
because 1t pleases the eye and is ar
ornament. The Fair association have
realized this point as can be readily
seen by their latests hangers.
The papers will do everything II
their power TO make the assembly
success. A properly conducted pub
liclty campaign by an experienced
newspaper man that undestands..whai
to write. The people will not read
everything. And there also must bs
some knowledge displayed in thu
placing on every bit Of advertising.
The corporation Of the merchants
must be sought. In other cities thu
merchants have given their suppor
ahd disposed of hundreds of tickets
| OF course 1t will incur great expense
But this can be met and profits had !
the right tactics are persuaded.
Let US have Chautauqua by al
means.
Place 1t In the hand Of those who W
know will see it to a successful cul
mination.
