this, whatever. Peruna is composed %
some of the most efficacious and uni.

tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis.
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
It may be of the nose, throat, lungs,

There is no doubt as to the nature Of

THINK GIRL MURDERED
GRANDNIECE OF LATE WILLIAM
MARSH RICE FOUND DEAD.
Victim Was Last Seen with Young Man
-Telltale Note Found at
Her Home.

PALMER, Mass, Aug. 1S.-That Miss
Faith Davis, the 16-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs Charles H. Davis,
whose body was found Sunday morning
in the pond connected with the electric
light station, was murdered and that she
did not commit suicide, is the bellef OF
the police officers who are investigating
the case.
Miss Davis was grandnlece OF the
late William Marsh Rice of Texas, for
whose murder Albert L. Patrick is now
serving a life sentence in Sing Sing pris-
on. The mother of the dead girl in
herited large share of her uncle's for
tune and a portion of this would have
gone to her daughter.
Miss Davis left home Friday after
noon during the absence of her sister
Miss Gertrude Davis. her parents and
youngest sister being at Cape Cod. She
left a note under the sugar bowl on
little walk up by the new house on
the Warren road. Will be back soon"
That note was not discovered until Sat
urday, and meanwhile search was insti-
tuted for her.
1t is said on good authority that no
water was found in the girls lungs.
This leads to the belief that she did not
meet death by drowning, but that the
body was thrown into the pond. 1t
was discovered that the girl was alive
at late as Saturday afternoon. She was
seen by Mrs. Mary Deland, who lives
on the Warren road, passing her house
with young man.
THE young people appeared very
friendly" said Mrs. Deland. Il did not
know the young man, but could tell him
again if / saw him.
Prints of girls shoes and mans
shoes have been discovered on the banks
of the pond. which is small one and
unfrequented The girl left home with
out hat and with no money, and the
note was apparently written in good
faith

FEEL SHARP QUAkES
EUREKA, CAL, IS AWAKENED BY
THE EARTH TREMBLING.
Walls of Old Buildings Arc Damaged
and Crockery in Many H~uses
Is Broken.

EUREKA, Cal, Aug. IS. - Three
sharp earthquake shocks which Knocked
down more than hundred chimneys,
shattered about forty plate glass win
dows in the business portion of Eureka,
broke much crockery in the houses and
sent many persons Scurrylng from tnef
beds into the streets, occurred mere early
today. The damage reported SO tar IS
estimated at between $4,000 and $1,000.
The first and sharpest shock came at
2:5S a m. 1t was almost as severe as
the one felt here on April Is. 1906.
At 3;OS. another slighter shock was
experienced followed by third at 5:3O
O'Clock. The first shock caused prac-
tically all the damage. Besides shaking
down many chimneys and breaking
crockery, the trembles caused the l6-foot
statue of Minerva en- the county court
house to drop her heavy staff which
crashed through the roof into Superior
Court Judge Hunts courtroom. The
walls of the courthouse were cracked IN
several places, but the damage is not
great. The walls of the Carnegie
library building erected five years>ago at
a cost of $4,000 were slightly cracked.
Reports from the Seasy ranch near
state that the earthquake caused Il big
assure in the earth for half mile; A
number of chimneys were thrown down
in that vicinity but otherwise little dam
age was done. The shocks extended. fri
far north as Blue Lake, twenty-five
miles from Eureka where some crocke}y
was broken and half dozen chimneyS
knocked down. The shocks seems to
have been confined to a small area and
the vibrations were southwest to north

CALIFORNIA BROWN PELICAN.
Method of Fishing Attracts Attention at
Seaside Resorts.

SCdS1uS NCSoALS'
The pelican familiar to the visitor at
the seaside resorts of southern Cali
fornia is known as the California brown
pelican. His length is from four to FIVE
feet, and his wings and tail are of silver
gray streaked with seal brown.
The breeding range of these interest
ing birds is off the coast of Mexico and
lower California. May and June are the
nesting months. Occasionally they build
their nests in low trees. but ordinarily
if is on the ground. 1t is a loosely con-
structed affair, built of weed stalks and
sticks, and lined with grass.
At the seaside the pelicans are seen
laziIy flying through the air. 1t is their
fashion to fly one behind the other.
Each, following the signal from the
leader, gives Eve or six strokes. and then
all soar in unison. A feeding time their
wont is to drive the fish by noisy beat
shore, when the birds will dive from con-
siderable heights. This performance is
quite spectacular, as with closely folded
wings the bird drops as ball headfore-
most into the water. Under the water
they evidently turn a somersault, as the
bird invariably eme-ges head first.
The pouch or game bag of the pelican
and as the bird is provided with no
means of defense, he is the victim Of
sure-thing operators and confidence work
ers in the form of the predatory gulis.
Too lazy to fish for themselves, these
thieves will pursue and attack the peli-
can, causing him to dive as a matter of
self protection. So closely are the peli-
cans pursued by their more agile enc
mics that finally, half exhausted, they
give up the trophies of their chase. This
they do with a cynical smile as they see
their hard-earned gain gobbled by the
gullS-Los Angeles Times.

Believes National Banks in Maiden State

Guaranty Law.
BLAMEs MAJORITY IN CONGRESS.

FAIRVIEW, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 18.
Discussing the subject of guaranty of
bank deposits today, William ]. Bryan
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, accused the Republican leaders
of Congress with having enacted into
law a currency bill in the interest of
the stock market and yet, although they
had ample opportunity to do so, they
failed to authorize the national banks
of Oklahoma to take advantage of the
state law relating to the guaranty of
bank deposits. 1t was with no little sat
isfaction that Mr.. Bryan noted in the
morning dispatches the fact that the
Enid (OkD National bank had sur
rendered it's charter and come within
the provisions of the state law
Banks Increase Deposits.
Il do not know, of course to what
extent the national banks will surrender
their charters" said Mr.. Bryan. "Fifty-
four national banks in Oklahoma took
advantage of the guarantee system and
they have found it very profitable; for
they have increased their deposits while
the unsecured national banks have lost
in deposits.
Under the ruling of Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte, they will have to choose
now between remaining national banks
or securing the benefits of the guaranty
system. They will either have to sur
render their charters or surrender the
protection which the guaranty system
gives to their depositors. They ought
Lot to be driven to this alternative. Con
gress had ample time to pass law per-
hitting the national banks of Oklahoma
to sake advantage of this system?
Couldn't Find Time
he Oklahoma l,w was enacted in De-
cember and went into operation in Feb
ruary and Congress was in session for
several months afterwards, but while
the Republican leaders in Congress could
find time to put through the currency
they could not find time to enact legis-
lation in the interest of the depositors
or even i'll the interests of the smaller
national banks"
