st had the catarrh and stomach
trouble for more than five years, and I
faithfully tried all the medicines saw
advertised, and found they all failed
to cure me. I then heard of Peruna-
purchased six bottles, and after their
use soon discovered that I was we'll,
safe and sound. I now weigh two hun
bred and ten pounds, and have never
been sick since I took Peruna. 1t
surely is the best medicine for colds,
stomach trouble and catarrh that I
ever heard off,
Our files abound with testimonials of
people who have been the victims Of
stomach trouble. Peruna seems to be
peculiarly adapted to these cases. In
no class of human ailments are our
testimonials more enthusiastic and
numerous than in cases Of stomach
ailments. Some of these are slight,
giving rise to ordinary Indigestion
Others are serious, reducing the patient
to almost a skeleton. Peruna because
Of its tonic laxative qualities, seems to
be specifically adapted to catarrh of the
stomach and similar ailments.
Those who object to liquid medicines
can now procure Peruna Tablets.

New York. - Hans Schmidt was

ing as & priest at ST. Joseph's Church
The penalty for the crime is death
IN the electric chair at Sing Sing
prison. He wiz be sentenced this
week
Schmidt, whose defense was in
sanity, laughed bitterly when the yer
dict was pronounced He had stead
fasly declared himself guilty and al
his arraignment before being held for
the Supreme Court pleaded that he be
punished By death. Later he protested
against the insanity defense advanced
by his counsel and said he would not
assist them in any way if they pre-
pared an appeal.
4 would rather die tonight than to
MORROW" he said. IT is as it should
be and a. / wish it,"
This vas the second trial and the
FIVE hours. AT the first trial the jury
disagreed. Alienists for prosecution
and defense supplied most of the testi
nony al both trials. Schmidt's coun-
sci hoped that if he was not acquitted
on the grounds Of mental unsoundness
the degree Of guilt fixed by the jury
would be second degree murder; for
the jurors, sending out for instructions
shortly after retiring, were informed
by Justice Vernon ". Davis that they
could If they wished pronounce a yer
dict less severe than death.
a. G. Koelble, Of Schmidt's counsel
asserted after the verdict that owing
to the former priests persistent 81
lence concerning the crime it had not
been possible TO place all the facts be
fore the jury. He said Schmidt was
not guilty Of murder but had shielded
physician after the woman's death.
She was not murdered. the lawyer de
clared. II the police would display
energy, he said. they could get at the
truth. The lawyer was undecided
whether he would take an appeal.
Father Schmidt will never go TO the
electric chair" ne added.
Anna Aumuller's body was cut up
with a knife in Schmidts fat on Sep
TENDER 2 and the pieces. in several
bundles, were tossed into the Hudsoa
river, where most OF them were foUAd
before suspicion was directed against
Schmidt. The head was never re-
covered. Schmidt in his confession TO
the police said he was commanded to
make "a sacrifice" OF the Aumuller
girls life by his patron, St. Elizabeth.
