Is Pe-r!!lll-!llla seful
for /: C(atarrh?

Should list of the ingredients of Pc.
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh rene
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tonio remedies.
That in one or the other of these,uses
they have stood the test of many years'
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed of
some of the most efficacious and uni
yersally used herbal remedies for ca-
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has reputation of Its own
in the cure of some phase Of catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a 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.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature Of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-.
scribe for them.
No other household remedy SO uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection Of the critics.

IIhIAAiWt| 1! BANKRUPT,
SAYS THE REFEREE
Eastern Creditors Will Have No
Choice in the Selection
Of a Trustee.
Will BE TAKEN TO PITTSBURG
If Thaw Is Declared Sane There New
York Will Be Unable to Get Him
Back to That State.

Plttsburg, Aug. 14-By his decision
yesterday in case in no way con-
nected with the Thaw case, Referee in
Bankruptcy William H. Blair, before
whom, in the absence of United
States district judge, all issues in the
Thaw case must be decided, made it
clear that the Eastern lawyers and
doctors who have filed large claims
against Harry x. Thaw, the slayer of
Stanford White, have no voice in the
selection of a trustee to take charge
of the young mans estate so long as
1T is in the bankruptcy court
Under this decision only Mrs. Mary
c. Thaw. Harry's mother, and Detec-
tive Roger O'Mara will have voice
in selecting the trustee, as they hold
the only unsecured and uncontested
claims against the estate
Bring Thaw to Pittsburg.
The decision of the referee is that
neither holders of contested or Sc
cured claims shall have voice in the
selection of trustee The decision
was rendered in the case of the West
End Tube works
The date for the first meeting of
creditors will probably be announced
to-day. 1t had not been decided def
nitely as yet whether Thaw will be
brought from Poughkeepsie to attend
the first meeting of creditors, Or will
be here at some subsequent meeting
1t can be declared, however, on the
highest authority, that he will be
brought to his native city during the
proceedings.
Referee Blair yesterday signed the
papers adjudicating Thaw bankrupt,
thereby forestalling efforts of Eastern
creditors to have bankruptcy proceed
ings transferred to New York.
Test Sanity in Pittsburg.
Every move in the Thaw proceed
ings has shown the determination of
Thaw and his counsel to take his case
out of the New York courts and force
q hearing on the question of his men,
tai condition in the courts at Pitts
burg.
1t is believed that soon after Thaw
is brought here TO face his creditors
an inquest in lunacy will be instituted
in local county courts. If the verdict
in such inquest should be that Thaw
is sane, New York authorities proba-
bly, would be unable to get him back
to that state, where the only ground
for holding him prisoner at present
is that he is insane

ers Wild Chase.
James Hickman, who is just in
from a timber cruise in the Necani-
cum mountains. is able to verify the
legend of a monster elk, which has
led many hunters on a wild chase
through the mountains of the Upper
\ Necanicum.
For years it has been reported that
an elk larger than any horse in Sea-
side, with hoof that made track
over seven inches in diameter. roamed
the, woods near the head waters Of
the Necanicum and the North Neha-
lem. He was too wary for the most
experienced hunters, who tried in vain
to stalk him.
Jim took a stroll while they we're
incoming. and within a half mile from
camp came to an open glade contain
ing about eighty acres. Standing
within the edge of the timber he
counted sixteen elk feeding leisurely
in the opening. He noticed three
bucks, good large fellows, but he al
most had the ague when he saw the
monarch of the herd, which ne AYERS
is monster.
Being to leeward of the band and
within eighty yards of them, Jim had
splendid chance to observe the elk
The big fellow had magnificent pair
of antlers, twelve points on one and
eleven on the other. in the velvet.
The other bucks were large, but they
looked like pigmies by the side of the
big fellow.
