Kidney and Bladder Trouble.

Mr.. John N. Watkins, 1888 Shenan.
doah Ave., st. Louis, Mo-, writes:
"Among all the greatly advertised
medicines for kidney and bladder
trouble there is nothing which equals
Peruna. 1 suffered for several years
with this trouble, spent hundreds OF
dollars on doctors and medicine and all
to no purpose, until I took Peruna.
"One bottle did me more good than
all the others put together, as they only
poisoned my system. feruna cured me.
I used it for four months before a COM
plete cure was accomplished, but am
truly grateful to you. The least I can
do in return is to acknowledge the
merits Of Peruna."

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 9.-The first
message of Governor A. Il, Wilson to
the general assembly was read in both
houses. In addition to recommends
tions covering the reforms to which
he pledged himself during the cam.
paign, large portion of the document
Is devoted to stirring recital of the
lawlessness which has developed In
the tobacco war, accompanied by Wig,
orous denunciation of the malefactors
and two specific recommendations hav.
ing for their object the breaking up
of the trouble.
Governor Wilson has ordered ten
militiamen from Louisville to go to
Lebanon to guard the American To-
bacco company's warehouse and also
directed ten soldiers of the Cynthiana
company to report to the mayor of
that town to protect tobacco property.
A Calling gun was also ordered sent
to Lexington. Indications seem to
show that the white hurley district is
on the eve of series of night riding
outrages equal to the lawlessness in
western Kentucky.

WALSH TAKES THE STAND
ADMITS ENGINEERING LOANS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
SHOULDERS sURpER FOR DEALS
Acknowledges That System of Memoir.
andum Notes Used In Bank Were
His Own, but Denies Any Thought
of Personal Gain.

VI FSTSoHdI SdIUs
Chicago, Jan. 9.-John r. Walsh. in
his frst public explanation of the af.
fairs of the Chicago National bank
since its c.Nsing by national bank ex'
aminers, took the witness stand in the
United States district court to defend
himself against charges Of misapply'
Ing funds of the institution.
He admitted that he had personally
engineered the loans of millions OF
dollars to the railroads and other en-
terprlses in which he held large blocks
of stock. He also acknowledged that
the system of memorandum notes used
in the bank was his.
He denied, however, that he under
took these transactions with any
thought of personal gain, claiming
that the interests of the bank and its
allied institutions, the Equitable Trust
company and the Home Savings bank,
were his chief concern.
Mr.. Walsh was on the stand four
hours. Direct examination of the wit
ness was still in progress when court
adjourned.
The expectation that Mr.. Walsh
would testify drew large crowd to
the court room and every seat was
filled soon after he took the stand
Although he had been one of Chi
cago's leading citizens for years, he
has appeared in public comparatively
few times and has seldom, If ever
spoken in public. This was evident
when the questioning began, for his
replies were given in so low tone
that they were scarcely audible to the
attorneys, and he was admonished to
speak louder several times by his own
counsel. With this exception the wit
ness gave little indication of either his
seventy years or the strain Of the
long trial
