Pe-ru-na the Family Doctor.
Mrs. NJ. E. Seymour, r. F. D. 2, Bow.
man, Ca, writes:
81 am ready to speak few words in
favor Of Peruna and Manalin. 1 have
tried them for nearly every ill of life for
myself and family, and find them to be
all the doctor claims them to be. Peru
ma cured me of Internal trouble when my
doctor could not. !
"My advice to all suffering women 10,
consult DR.. Har tman. What he has done
for me he will do for you"
Pe-ru-na In Tablet Form.
For two years DR.. Hartman and his
assistants have necessarily labored TO
create Peruna in tablet form, and their
strenuous labors have just been crowned
with success. People who object to
liquid medicines can now secure PerunA
tablets, which represent the medicinal
ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet 10
equivalent to one average dose OF Peruns.

Emiqrant Money in ItaIy.

Some students of emigration in
Italy profess to believe that the large
sums of money annually sent back by
the emigrants to their families, or de-
posted in the postofices, more than
compensate for the evils. Certainly
the money sent back is a real benefit
to the country, as we have already
noted, but would anyone be so short
sighted as to contend that any amount
of money can repay a people for the
breaking up of family life, lowering of
moral standards and consequent physi-
cal degeneration? Man does not live
by bread alone" especially when that
bread is got at the expense of national
morals. The prophet of old is right.
righteousness exalteth q nation, but
sin is a reproach to any people. An
tonia Mangano, in Charities and the
Commons.

THE ARMY CAT.
Not Generally Known That Tabby Is
Regularly Enlisted.

When Maj Gen. Merritt sailed from
San Francisco he asked the govern.
ment authorities for three cats to
take to Manila. Probably the trio
of American felines are now teaching
Yankee habits to their misguided fell
lows of the islands, for it was Mai.
Gen. Merritt's intention to send them
ashore when he landed. The cats
came from the commissary depot on
Jessie street, San Francisco.
1t is not generally known that the
government spends several thousand
dollars annually for the maintenance
of cats, but the accounts of the
United States depot commissaries
prove it. In every storehouse there
are from one to five animals, and
their rations are provided as care
fully and regularly as those Of any Of
the soldiers.
They are not fed on scraps nor are
their individual tastes disregarded as
are those of the enlisted men, but
they are allotted so many pounds of
choice beef or any other delicacy their
may have as much game as they
wish, and the storehouses seldom fail
to furnish an unlimited supply of
rats and mice. That the cats save
many times their cost of support is
well known, as such supplies as crack
ers, cheese, bacon, -four and meal are
much sought after by the rodents.
All men-of-war carry cats. Their
usefulness is never more apparent
than on shipboard. The writer was
crossing from Antwerp to New York
on the steamship Southwark when he
was awakened by the sudden stop
ping of the ship, an occurrence which
happening in mid-ocean generally
means something serious. The pas.
sengers ruBhed on deck, half clad, and
were disgusted to learn that rat
having crawled into the cylinder had
caused the halt. Such an accident on
man-of-war in time of action might
be fearfully paid for, and an active
cat is its only preventive,-SanF Fran
cisco Chronicle.

DEFENDS HIS CLAIM.
DR.. Rand Insists He Was First &c
Volunteer in War of '61.

Submitting a copy of an affidavit
which states that he volunteered as
soldier in the civil war at Batavia
N. Y, within ten minutes after tho
receipt of the telegram announcing
President Lincoln's call for volunteers,
April 15 1861" DR. Charles f. Rand
recently made reply to the statement
of Mr. j. 7. Ford, which appeared in
the Sunday Star. Mr.. Ford claimed
that the honor of being the first vol.
unteers in the civil war belongs to
the National Rifles of the District
of Columbia, and not to DR.. Rand, as
claimed by him. In reply DR.. Rand
says:
"Mr. ]. T. Ford has given accurate
ly my record except in two facts which
l feel it is necessary to explain. Mr.,
Ford says l was enrolled May 1, 1861
and mustered in May 13 at Elmira,
which is true as far as mastering in
goes. Batavia is a small village and
we did not raise a company in one
day. May l 62 men we're mustered,
and we were two weeks in raising the
company. We could not be recognized
as soldiers until we were mustered in.
which was on that date. We haG
at that time no place in the service
and had no assignment. We waited
to see if there was vacancy in
some regiment that wanted a com.
pany to fill out. At last news came
that the Twelfth New York volun-
teers, at Syracuse, needed us. and we
were mustered into that regiment
May 13, as Company X.
MY claim as the first volunteer in
the war of the rebellion has never
been disproved and never can be, ur
less some one can give better evidenci
than / can show. When that is done
1 will gladly yield the palm. Men,
number of them, claimed to have
volunteered Immediately after Sumter
was fired upon, which no doubt
is true, in which case they were
three days ahead of me. They
enlisted in the militia. There were
no volunteers at that time.
Il did not volunteer until war was
declared, and volunteers called for by
President Lincoln the 18th of April,
1861. The militia was called into
service before | volunteered. The
Third battalion of the National
Rifles, which was called into service
April 8, was six days ahead Of me
This claim is good acknowledge the
fact, but it does not in any way inter
fere with my claim. They were al
ready in the service before the wa.
opened.
Il hope this explanation will con
vince Mr.. Ford that l was the first vol.
unteer in the war of the rebellion.
think the war department records
show no volunteer whose medal was
dated previous to April IS, 1861, the
date of my medal. 1 will also yield
that point if better evidence is pro-
duced than that here presented"

Receiver for Bank Is Appointed.

Carson City, Nev.-Judge Langan
of the district court on Mon
day appointed Frank Wildes, deputy
state treasurer, receiver of the State
Bank and Trust Co., which suspended
last October. The failure involved
liabilities of 100000. 1t is believed
the bank will eventually be able to
pay so cents on the dollar. All the
directors and number of the officers
of the bank are under indictment for
embezzlement.

WAYS TO ADVERTISE
REACHING THE PEOPLE WITH
TRUTH FoRcIBLY EXPRESSED.
UTILITY OF HOME NEWSPAPERS
They Bring the Best Results to the
Merchant When Rightly Used
Some Merit in Circulars
and Letters.

There is advertising, and there is
advertising One kind is the almost
money-wasted kind, and the other of
the class that counts. The merchant
who has always placed little faith in
advertising is the one who has never
tried it in the right way. He Is the
one who places a little card in the
paper, merely stating that he is a
dealer in such and such goods. He
is the one who is always grumbling
about business. about the ways of
other merchants, and the trade that
goes away from the town.
1t is all in how the advertisement
is built, both in wording and typo
graphically, and what kind of circu-
lating medium it is placed in. When
advertising, It is essential that the ad-
vertiser say something, and say that
something right to the point. 1t is
a pretty good idea to give prices.
Prices always appeal to the purchas-
ing public. 1t matters not whether
they are a little lower or a little
higher than somebody else's prices,
to give prices and preach cheapness,
quality and bargains. will attract at
tention. There never was any money
made by the small merchant in the
rural city or town that won out by ly-
ing. Lies may do for the mail-order
houses, the department store and the
cheap-John in the big city, but never
do well for the merchant in the small
town.
The merchant who builds up repu-
tation for honest goods, square deal
and prices that are right, will win.
He gets the people to think that he
is ION the square," that he is selling
goods at honest profits, and keeps his
advertisement ever before them and
! finds that it pays. The merchant who
wins must be up-to-date. He must
know about new goods, understand
the latest ideas in his particular line,
and be quick to put all good ideas into
practice.
Circulars are only good as flyers"
They are not supposed to take the
place of regular newspaper advertis-
ing They are short-lived, and good
only for the advertising of kind that
can be classed as "transitory" Watch
the successful merchant, and you will
find that he rarely uses circulars, un-
less for placing in packages Of goods.
This is a thing that should not be
overlooked. 1t is a good idea to have
a lot of circulars advertising new
goods, specialties, ETC., and place one
in every package. This is good way
to make announcement of the arrival,
or the expected arrival, of new stocks.
But circular advertising should be only
supplementary to the regular newspa-
per advertising. d. M. CARR.

Wane of the eet.Rich.ouIekers.

The past ten years has apparently
been the era of the get-rich-quick
man. No sooner does one scheme
play out than another takes it's place.
Thanks to the ever diligent postal
inspectors, and an unrelenting gov.
ernment, the schemers are not so
plentiful as a few years ago. For
some years number Of supposed le-
gitimate grain and stock brokers
thrived in both eastern and western
cities. These were active In soliciting
through the mails and through local
offices the business of small investors.
The millions of money gained from
the unsuspecting people will never be
known.
Once the government got on the
right trail there were Irregularities
discovered that resulted in fraud or.
ders being issued against number
of the concerns. The end is not yet.
and the work of determination will be
kept up till there is no fake mining
or oil or plantation companies in op-
GRAFTON. Buying stocks in a fair mar.
ket is a risky business, but when there
are schemers to stack the cards
against the investor, there is not a
ghost of show for him.

DocToRED coFFEES.
AduIterated Goods Sent Out by Con-
Germs Who Do Mail Order Business.

Farmers who have had their curiosity
ty aroused over the pure food matter
might profit by doing little thinking.
Some of the big mail order houses are
the greatest distributors of adulterated
goods. In fact, the claim is made that
the greatest amount of adulterated cof-
fees and the like are sold through
agents and the mail order concerns.
Lately the state chemist of a western
state has been devoting attention to
the goods put out by mail-order con-
Germs. He secured samples Of coffee
and had them examined by one of the
leading chemists. 1t was found that
one of the chief blends" which was
sold for S5 cents a pound was com
posed of 90 per cent. broken coffee,
IA per cent. chicory and 81 per cent
roasted oats. Oats are worth about
40 cents a bushel. 1t requires not
much figuring to show how much the
customers of this blend of coffee are
paying for their oats" There are
dozens of concerns in the country who
do a large business through women
agents who work for premiums, and
who give cheap premiums with the
goods sold. There is barely a single
one of these concerns who handles pure
goods. There are efforts being made
now to have the postal authorities for
bid these concerns the use of the
United States mails.

"Now, Boys, Keep Those Internal
Redskins Off,"

dead. Chapman said: "Now, boys,
keep those Internal redskins off me,
and l will run down and pick up
Smith, and bring him back before they
can get at me-"
Laying down his rifle he sprang out
of the buffalo wallow, ran with all
speed to Smith, seized and attempted
to shoulder him.
Il lay down." said Chapman, "and
got his chest across my back and his
arms round my neck, and then got
up with him. 1t was as much as I
could do to stagger under him, for
he couldn't help himself bit. By
the time l had got 20 or 80 yards,
about 15 Indians came for me at full
speed of their ponies
The boys in the buffalo wallow
opened on the Indians, and Amos ran
for it.
when I was within about 20 yards
of the wallow," he continued, "a little
old scoundrel whom had fed 80 times
rode almost onto me and fired. l fell
with Smith on top of me, but as 1
didn't feel pain. 1 thought had
stepped in hole.
THE Indians couldn't stay round
there minute. The boys kept it red
hot; so jumped up, picked up Smith,
and got safe into the wallow
Amos, said Dixon, you are badly
hurt
mo, l am not, said l.
Why, look at your leg!' and sure
enough, the leg was shot off just above
the ankle-joint, and l had been walk
ing on the bone and dragging the foot
behind me, and in the excitement !
never knew it, nor have 1 ever had
any pain in my leg to this day"

ADDING LIFE TO THE TOWN.
Summer Festivities Can Be Mad,
Helpful ais Well as Entertaining.

The village store is a department
store on a small scale. BY it the
wants of the community are supplied
Sometimes, perhaps, there is not trade
enough for store to confine itself to
only one line. While the farmers
wife and daughters are looking about
with view of buying their dresses,
his sons and perhaps himself like to
look at the clothing, the hats and all
kinds of wear for men. The up-to-date
storekeeper should see that the wants
of all are attended to. He shouldn't
give a prospective customer the op-
portunity to go elsewhere. He should
find out what the customer wants, and
If 1t is not in stock, give him to un-
derstand that 1t can be gotten for
him.
Every town of any size has some
festivities during the summer season.
If 1t is not customary to have such
events In the place, the merchants
should get busy, and II nothing else,
get up horse race, display of some
kind, and it will be found that the
people will appreciate it.
One live business man in town
can do lot single handed If he sets
out in the right way. There is no law
to prevent the starting of contest
among the farmers. Get up a list of
prizes for the ones bringing in any
and all kinds of products. Make the
contest one that will attract atten-
ton. Let the clothier give suit Of
clothes, the jeweler watch, some
thing useful, it matters not much what
it may be, for the biggest watermelon,
the greatest apple or any other thing
grown by the farmer. Have unpreju-
diced judges. Have the deal fair
one. 1t will bring people to the place
and this is what pleases the townspeo-
pie as well as the residents of the
country.
