Gov. Deneen Investigating Many
Anonymous Letters.

Chicago, Aug. IS. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Springfield. ILL.,, says;
Employers of Negro labor in Spring
field are being threatened by a flood
OF Anonymous letters which has been
growing in volume daily since the race
riots. Yesterday the condition of af-
fairs was found to justify an invcsti-
cation by GOV. Deneen.
A delegation of Negroes visited the
governor ana promised to cooperate
with the law abiding whites III invcsti-
eating the letters. Members of the 18th
Illinois Infantry comment on the fact
that apparently respectable people IN
talking to them about the situation
say dispassionatcly that soon as you
fellows are gone, we will have to get
rid of these blacks. Springfield must
be a~white town.

Senator Hopkins, chairman of sub
committee Of the tariff committee, said
he would call this committee into ac-
ton Iii the near future. The tariff, he
believed, would develop into the chief
issue of the capalSn. 1t was also his
opinion that the revision which was to
be prepared for this summer and en-
acted at q special session would re-
suit in the reduction of many sched-
ules and the adoption of a maximum

jon IS that Bryan's record as a free

MISS MAYME E. SMITH, IA East
1vl Mound St., Colum bus, Ohio, writes:
"Have used Peruna for catarrh and
hay fever. The results being remark
able, can highly recommend it to all
who are suffering with the above dis
eases. I am happy to be able to say it
has helped me wonderfully"
What is known as hay fever is in
reality endemic catarrh, catarrhal
condition of the nose, throat, some
times the bronchial tubes, induced by
some local irritant.
The irritation is generally due to vege-
tai emanations of some sort. Hay has
been suspected as being the cause of
this malady, hence its namo, hay fever.
It has been attributed to rag weed and
other vegetation also. 1t is very
capricious disease, coming and going.
A medicine that will help one case may
not help another. Such treatment has
always been very uncertain and unsat-
isfactory.
Peruna helps some cases without a
doubt, although it is not claimed to be
an infallible remedy for such cases.

RHEUMATISM
DRIVEN FROM
A Remedy Which Assists Nature
Produces a Cure Which is Perman-
ent as This Case Proves.

Every sufferer from rheumatism
wants to be cured and to stay cured.
The prospect of the return of the
same old rheumatism every year Is not
attractive to anybody who has gone
through one siege Most treatments
aim simply to keep down. the rheu
matte roiscns in the blood The tonic
treatment with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills has proved by hundreds of cures
that it builds up the blood to point
that enables it to cast out these pol
sons through the regular channels Of
oxcrction. the bowels, kidneys and the
skin. When this is done the rheu-
nltism is permanently cured and as
long as the blood is kept pure and rich
the patient will be immune from at
ta..ks of rheumatism.
Mrs. w. ii. Amburg is the wife of a
prosperous farmer living on i. +. D.
No. 3, Lancaster, \. F.. and about four
miles from that city. She owes he~ e
coVcry from rheumatism to this treat
ment and her Statcmcn, should interest

With the fact in mind that the rhcu-
:natism is in the blood. it will readily
hc seen how useless it is to try to cure
Y by rubbing liniments on the skin.
External applications may give tom
rorary relief from pain but to cure
rheumatism YOU must treat it through
thc blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
lave cured more cases of rheumatism
than any other prescription and no
