IS Pe-ru-na Useful

Shoulda list ofthe ingredients OF Pc

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 stood the test of many
years experience in the treatment of
such diseases THERE CAN BE NO

last but not least, brings to the home the

IN the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis

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

is the remedy This doctor has tried

to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that q catarrh

as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, Of the purest drugs and Of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied di.

SHOOTS
GIRL AND RIVAL
Because Sweetheart Had Gone
to Dance With Rival, Man
Tries Murder.
GIRL MAY DIE OF WOUNDS
W0uld.be Murderer Escapes and Goes
Into Hiding in Swamp
Posse After Him.

La Crosse, Wis, Aug. 4. - Because
his sweetheart, Arabelle Miller, had
gone to dance with his rival, Will
liam Heider, John Newburg waylaid
the two at bridge located over the
La Crosse river, shot both, probably
fatally wounded the girl and seriously
injured young Heider
Newburg, who was formerly employ
ed at the home of the Miller girl, had
become infatuated with her, and 1t is
understood had made several offers
of marriage William Heider, another
young farmer in the vicinity, was
Newburg's rival for the hand of the
young woman, and both had extended
invitations to her to attend a country
dance given at West Salem, small
town north of here. She accepted the
invitation of Heider.
Jumps Into Buggy.
Newburg attended the dance and
after dancing with the girl engaged
Heider in conversation. After this he
left the hall. He hired livery rig,
and driving to the bridge, located at
lonely spot along the country road,
tied his horse crosswise on the
bridge and laid in wait for the unsus-
pecting pair. AS their rig neared the
structure he sprang into the buggy
and fired five shots, four of which
struck the girl and one the man. He
made an unsuccessful attempt to drag
the girl from the buggy with the pur-
pose of throwing her into the stream
below. Heider whipped up the horse
and in this way escaped.
A party was soon organized and a
search started for Newburg, but up to
late hour no traces of him have
been found. His rig was found hitch
ed to the bridge, and it is evident that
he is in hiding in the swamps sur
rounding the scene of the attempt.

Henri Farman Gives Demon
stratiOn With His Heavier
Than-Air Machine.
AT SPEED Of IMPRESS TRAIN
Photographers Knocked Flat by Breeze
From Pr0pellers When Farman
Tests Motor.

New York, Aug. 2.-Rising from the
ground like a giant bird and darting
! through the air at express train
speed, Henri Farman's aeroplane the
heavier-than-air flying machine he
brought here from France to demon
strate his ability to fly, made it's in
1tial fight in this country late yester-
day afternoon at Brighton Beach. 1t
rose from an especially prepared run
way at the will of the inventor and,
after attaining height of twenty-five
feet, flew straight ahead on direct
line, finally alighting with exquisite
grace when the noted air pilot dimin-
ished the motive power.
Farman Is Rugged.
During the brief space of time in
which the aeroplane was skimming
over the center field of the race
track, the few hundred spectators,
most Of whom were friends OF the in
ventor or rival aviators, watched the
flight with breathless interest The
instant the trim looking machine land
ed cheers rent the air-cheers far
more enthusiastic and vociferous than
those of race track crowd Farman
was surrounded and literally Rugged
by the jubilant aeronauts. Members
Of the Aero Club of America, under
whose auspices Farman will conduct
his public fights at Brighton Beach,
wanted to carry the successful in
ventor off the field on their shoulders.
Photographers Toppled Over.
Newspaper photographers crowded
of the machine as it was about to
make it's first flight in America, and it
was at this moment that Farman de-
cided to make another test of the mo-
tor before flying He instructed his
French mechanics in their native
tongue to hold fast to the aeropane
while he turned on the power In
stantly the propeller began to revolve
at the rate of 1,400 revolutions to the
minute and a breeze equal to small
cyclone was created. The photogra-
pliers were knocked fiat and plastered
to the ground until the power was
turned off. So great was the violence
of the breeze that several willow trees
were bent double. Farman laughingly
said he guessed the machinery was
working all right.
Shoots Into the Air Like Magic.
Then, when the crowd had been
waved back, he gave the order, Let
co. and away sped the aeroplane
over the plank roadway. 1t ran swift
ly along on its wheel for $40 yards
and then Farman turned a lever
which sent it into the air like magic,
and away it few. The propeller made
q whirring noise as 1t turned 800
times to the minute. Only $50 yards
were covered in the air in this fight,
but few minutes later Farman made
another try and travelled 76O yards in
the air. He could have gone much
further he said, but feared striking
pile of lumber.

The National Meeting.

The national convention of the
Farmers Educational and Cooperative
Union of America, held in Fort Worth
recently, showed the organization to
be in excellent condition and capa.
Bile of doing effective work in the in
terest of the farmers during the COM
ing marketing season.
With the spread of the Union to
grain, tobacco and fruit growing
states, the work has naturally divided
itself into different departments and
the committees representing them
have outlined plans for handling these
various product which will, no doubt,
prove advantageous.
The system for marketing cotton
seems to have been advanced material
ly and with the cooperation of the
membership the way is being opened
for direct sales to the mills, which
has been the desire of many members
for sometime past.
Partisan politics had no place in the
convention and yet it was evident that
the farmers now realize that much in
jury has been done them by the ma
tional and state law making bodies
and that these injuries must be re-
medied. This, however, is recommend.
ed by direct appeals to the congress
and legislatures and not through the
endorsement of any political party.
All in all, the national meeting has
added strength to the Farmers Union
movement.

MAN WAS TAKING NO CHANCES.
Elaborate Precautions to ForestalI the
Festive Germ.

A man whose poor hearing obliges
him to use a speaking tube met an.
other man who certainly deserves to
be set down as the champion foe to
germs. The meeting took place in the
street. The deaf man signified his de.
sire for conversation on a certain sub.
ject. The enemy to germs listened to
the question put to him, then surveyed
his end of the speaking tube dubious
ly. Before attempting to answer he
took the deaf man by the arm and
piloted him into drug store, where
he called for liquid disinfectant in
which he proceeded to immerse por-
ton of the tube.
These things are worse than tele.
phones to spread disease" he COM
planned. 81 don't know who talked
into this last. I'm not going to take
any chances"
The owner Of the first aid to hear.
ing looked on in CONSERVATION that
was half anger, but as he was very
anxious to secure an answer to his
question he did not protest against
the sterilization of the tube.
