DEAD HOG IN TRUNK.
NOxiOus Scent Gave Rise to Belief
That Foul Play Had Been Commit
ted.

A trunk arriving on the late train
from the south on Thursday night,
from Manning, S. c.. was placed in the
baggage station at the Union Depot,
and yesterday a terrible stencil in the
building was located as having come
from that trunk, The baggage agent,
Mr.. Claude Murray, thinking that pos
sibly some evidences Of foul play may
be discovered, after removing the
trunk from the baggage room, tele-
phoned to the chief Of police and he
was present and assisted in opening
the trunk.
Instead of finding a dead body as
was certainly expected there was dis
covered only a hog, cut up into various
parts, the animal having been ship
ped as baggage by a. party living IN
Manning to friends IN Wilmington.
Yesterday the trunk was called for
and the check presented, and the col
ored man to whom it was sent was
highly incensed that the hog was not
in the condition in which it should
have been received.

A later letter received from the same
institution reads as follows:
"Three weeks sgo wrote 10 tell
you how satisfactory we found
Peruna. We recommend IL highly for
colds. coughs, cafarrh and neuralgia.
II have used it myself rs n tonic with
the best results, taken as directed, half

I wrote to DR.. Hartman, and after tax
ing treatment as he advised, can say
1 am now cured of this most trying
afIlicuon, for which am truly thank
full. think Peruua the best medicine
for catarrh. 1 never felt better in my
life than 40 at present"
Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but Is equally prompt and Efficient for
catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage.
OF course, 1t is only reasonable 90
suppose that great deal less medicine
will be necessary to cure a slight attack
of catarrh than would be required to
relieve the ailment after It had been al

Does the senator" az aEkec, be
lieve that government notes should
be issued In place Of other forms or
currency"
"I believe" responded Mr.. Clay,
that the money of the United states
ought to be gold and silver coin Ind
paper money issued by the govern
ment redeemable by the government
In coin"
Senator Hopkins asked how the
senator from Georgia would get Ills
currency in circulation and Mr. Clay
replied that it would get in circuia-
ton after it had been paid out by the
government to meet its expenses
Senator Lodge recalled that the gold
| in the possession of the government
| is equal to two-thirds OF the paper OF
all kinds in circulation, whereas In
| England the gold reserve is but one
third of the circulation medium. So
| far as he was concerner he did not
| approve the plan of having the gov
ernment issue any money except gold
aDC silver He would be glad to have
all paper money withdrawn He did
not want to see the government in the
banking business. He preferred to see
all paper money issued by the banks
| against gold reserve which he thought
was d sound business way. He did not
like a bond secured currency.
| prefer to have central bank OF
issue as they havo been in other great
nations, said Mr.. Lodge.
Il hope" added Mr. Lodge, this
| government will never again go into
the business of printing money"
| Senator Teller spoke briefly, saying
he wanted to make it clear that the
issuing Of money is not banking busi-
ness.
| 1T is the exercise Of a sovereign
power" he said, "Where would we
have been today if We had not slip
ped in and helped the banks? They
were certainly unable to do business
without government aid
| If" interposed Mr. Lodge, I'VE had
a system like England, France, or, best
| Of all, Germany, the banks should
| have been able to meet the emergen-
cy."
| Mr.. Teller said when the gold stand
ard law was enacted in 1900 that was
| supposed to be a panacea for all Of
the ills He saw no reason why the
government should guarantee the notef
of somebody else. But theory was one
thing and the present necessity was
another

~ATARRH of the respiratory organs
~ is q common ailment in Canada for
at least two-thirds Of the year.
This condition Is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part Of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov-
cred by Canadian people to be reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, it
at once became popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where it was
used as a preventative and relief in
hundreds Of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement Of the remedy
which has been SO helpful in the treat
ment Of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that Of
the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following Endorsement:
