Your letter of the 9Th ult. has afforded
me the greatest pleasure. containing as it

letter until I should be able to couple
with it the announcement of the prince
of Wales safe return to his home. Con-
trary winds and stress Of weather have
much retarded his arrival, but we have
been fully compensated for the anxiety
which this long delay has naturally
lcaused US by finding him in such excel

with all he has seen and experienced in
his travels.
He cannot sufficiently praise the great

PARENTS VISITING DAY
Enjoyable Observance at the Public
School Friday Afternoon

A large number of the parents and
friends of the pupils Of the public
school visited at that institution yes
terday afternoon in observance Of the
pre-memorial day exercises, which
were held in compliance with the
state law for public schools.
The grammar school, which in
cludes the three grades below the
high school, met in the assembly
room and presented a creditable pro-
gram consisting Of musical selections
and well chosen Rotations. The
work OF the orchestra was especially
creditable. An address was given by
Henry T. Cushman on patriotic instru-
ction. which was appropriate and inter
esting.
The pupils Of each OF the other
rooms gave an attractive program.
On the walls of the rooms was ex-
hibited an excellent display of the
pupils work during the year, a show
ing OF the art work being the main
feature. The programs were given
from 2 to 3 o'clock and the rooms
were open for inspection from / until
8 o'clock. The teachers ably assisted
in showing and describing each piece
of work to the visitors.
The art work was said by Superin-
tendent A. w. Varney to be the best
ever exhibited by the school, Begin
ming with the first grade each drawing
seemed to reveal n good future In its
line for the one whose name appear
ed. A pleasant feature In the work
OF the Kindergarten children was
good representation OF a schoohouse
and play grounds constructed In sand
aid OF blocks. In other grades the
free hand drawing aud wintry snow
scenes were noticeable features.
There were a number of we'll made
maps Of North America In grade six
made from pulp preparation. Ar
tistic work In other grades was repre-
scented in sofa pillows of stencil work
and the orayon drawings of houses
and churches.
There were also many pretty views
In orayon, pen and ink and water
colors OF turkeys, rabbits and grapes.
other pretty features were fabrics
done In block and stencil designs.

CATARRHAL DISEASES OF
SUMNER TIME.

Most people think that catarrh does
not prevail in the summer time. Ca
tarrh is generally regarded as winter
disease.
certainly is true that catarrh of the
throat, bronchial tubes and lungs La
more prevalent during the winter time.
But it IS also tire that catarrh of the
stomach, bowels and kidneys is more
prevalent during the summer time.
Thus we have catarrhal diseases Of sum-
mer, and catarrhal diseases of winter.
1t is probably true that the mortality
fcn catarrhal diseases is greater IN the
winter time than In the summer. But
yet there IL an Alarming number OF peo'
pie who die annually from those ca
tarrhal affections that are peculiar to
summer.
Catarrh is chronic congested inflan-
nation of a mucous membrane. The
mucous membrane of the stomach IL
just as liable TO Gatarrh as the mucous
membrane of the throat, the lungs, the
bronchial tubes. Catarrh of the stom-
ach is the same kind of a disease 80
eatarrh of the throat and lungs. So, also,
is catarrh of the bowels. Catarrh Of tho
kidneys. Catarrh of all the other in
ternal organs.
Catarrhal diseases peculiar to summer
are, catarrh Of the stomach, sometimes
called gastritis; catarrh of the small
intestines, sometimes called enteritis;
catarrh of the colon, sometimes called
colitis. These diseases are very prev
slent during the summer, especially II
the air be hot and humid.
We regard Peruna as an excellent
remedy for these forms of internal ca
tarrh. DR.. Hartman's practice, which
covered period of many years, in
which he used chiefly Peruna for all
bowel diseases, is conflrmatory of this
fact, from the standpoint Of profess
sional test.
The multitude Of letters that we re-
ceive from all parts of the United Statea,
In which the effect of Peruna is de-
scribed upon catarrhal affections of the
internal organs, would make it appear
that Peruna IL certainly one Of tlSe
greatest remedies for this class of dis
eases, If not indeed the very greatest.
In collie and cramps, attacks of IN
digestion, distention Of the bowels by
gas, diarrhea, constipation, Peruna is
relied upon by thousands Of people and
It's use as household remedy gains a
stronger hold upon the people as time
goes on.

San Francisco, May 2S.-The forces
that will whip the 300 pounds Of
fighter Jack Johnson into fighting

beach. Tom Flanagan. the well
known trainer Of amateur athletes

That was what Flanagan came
across the continent for-to regulate
Johnsons running. Since he began
his road work he has been running
without route or rule. No attention
has been paid to the time. Flanagan
will hold the watch on the runner
and spur him on to quicken his time.
Johnson will take of six ounces OF
weight each day. That he may not
ieopardize his condition by too much
or too little running, Flanagan was
secured While the fighters we're in
New York to look after that end OF
the work.

on trial.
These three were fellow employees
Of the four checkers convicted last

American Sugar Refining Company.
All of them worked under Oliver Spit

convicted and sentenced to two
years in the Atlanta Penitentiary,
whose confession and pardon and APP

The evidence yesterday consisted
for the most part of letters written
by Heike. A number OF the letters
were read in an effort to show that
Heike kept a close watch on all the
mutitudinous details Of the business.
One letter, under date of September
II, 1908, written by Heike TO Ger

be a reason why the customs weight

fellow passenger who he was, but
they kept him under constant suryeil-
lance, as they feared he might resort
TO even the wild device OF leaping
overheard with a life buoy and take
a chance OF being picked up.
This fear was inspired by the reck-
'ess jump of Matusek nine years ago
from train that was taking him and
fellow prisoner to whom he was
shackled from St Louis to prison at
Jefferson City. He was permitted to

Dr. Mead is second in the race for the
