For two years DIR. Hartman and his
assistants have necessarily labored TO
create Peruna in tablet form, and their

Cleveland, Ohio, March 1S.-Wm.
Krueger, 81 years of age, opened fire
on crowd of men and women in a
restaurant last night and instantly,
killed Edward Draudt, 40 years old,
severely wounded James Barr, and

After the shooting the young man
went to the sidewalk and there turn
ed the revolver against his own head
and fred. 1t is believed Kruger
will die.
Previous to the shooting Kruger
is said to have stood in side door
leading into saloon, and from this
vantage point scanned the faces of
all the occupants of the restaurant.
AS Barr. passed him in the doorway,
the police say, Kruger was jostled
and opened fire upon Barr, and then
turned the revolver aimlessly upon
the crowd. A panic ensued, men and
women seeking shelter beneath the
tables and lunch counter.
1t is believed by the police that
Kruger was looking for some par
ticular man or woman whom he
thought may have been in the res
taurant, and that his anger was due
largely to jealousy.

$4,000 EMIGRANTs REJECTED.

Refused Them Passage.

Philadelphia, March 19.-Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Oscar
8. Straus, who was in this city yes
terday, in an interview on the immi-
grafton question said that more than
$4,000 applications for passage to
the United States were rejected at
the agencies Of the several steamship
lines in European cities during the
last fiscal year, for fear that the
character Of the applicants was such
that the steamship company would
be compelled by the immigration au-
thorities of this country to take
them back to their homes.
The secretary spoke freely upon
the immigration laws, and Contend
ed that as they now exist they are
so nearly perfect that but few, If
any, amendments are necessary, and
the people need have no apprehen-
siveness as to the result of their en-
forcement, which, SO far as lay in his
power, would be energetic and
prompt.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
enflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed.
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which Is nothing but
an inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free. F. ]. CHENEY G. CO.,

]. A. Manner, in Atlanta on Friday,
December 26th last, and given every
opportunity for his life that the law
knows, dropped through the trap Of
the scaffold and paid the death PEN
atty for his crime.
Sheriff John w. Nelms himself
threw the lever that sent "Black
Sport to his death. The negro
dropped straight through the black
hole that suddenly yawned beneath
his feet, and hung motionless at the
end Of the taut rope. A minute pass
ed, and his shoulders slowly drew
up, and his knees bent with strain

the drop he was pronounced dead.
The fall had lacerated his spinal cord
and paralyzed him and his death had
followed by strangulation. At 11.20
he was cut down.

1t was strange coincidence that
just at the hour that Andrew John

companying his body to the train,
on which it will be taken to New
