Patcrson, N. J., Oct. 12. Flood con
ations at Paterson Improved but lit
Vfele throughout Saturday night. Early
yesterday morning saw tho wators at
their maximum and, although tho dan
ger to llfo and property still Is great,
there, was a general feeling of relief
yesterday becauso of tho fact that sov
jral of tho bigger retaining walls and
water gates had been able to withstand
tho rush of tho flood. Throughout tho
day hundreds of men under tho super
intendence of Mayor Hfnchcllffo were
at work strengthening these walls and
gates. Scores of persons wero rescued
from their homes. A great many
dwelling houses collapsed and many !
more aro ready to collapse, but It Is 1
believed that there has been little loss
of life. Thousands of men, women and
children will be out of employment for
a long time and it seems altogether
probable that this flood will cause to
the city of Paterson a greater direct
loss of money and property than tho
llro of nearly two years ago. The
. gross loss then was $0,000,000 with an
insurance of more than $4,000,000.
Flvo hundred families are homeless.
Of theso about 15fr families aro being
sheltered In the Apollo hall, whllo the
others will be taken care of in tho

ADMIRAL SCHLEY
ENDOR
Pevuna Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio:
Gentlemen: I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has, taken Pe
rttna and I believe with good effect.9 -VK S. SCHLEY Washington, D. C.
PE-RU-NA
ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable lierocs of the
Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart
of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, un
daunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as- to the
efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the
slightest hesitation lie gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared
on later conversation that Peruna has been, used in his family, where
it is a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that
Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of
the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley
could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the ' remedy is all that he says
it is.
The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its;
way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so
many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is
giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired,
thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who
heretofore would not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so
many men of national and international reputation have been willing
to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy.
No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result.
Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever
phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so
many notable and unique endorsements.
Address The Peruna Drug MTgCo., Columbus, Ohio, for free
literature on catarrh.
HONORS WERE EVEN.
Although the Attorney Itnn Some,
vrhut of n Kink In llctnllnt luyr
' on the JuUffc.
John It. Kldridge, a well known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
to argue u case before a justice of the peace
in one of the small towns near Rochester.
It happened that Mr. Eldridjjc and tho
justice belonged to different political parties,
had' been opposed to each other in several
contests and were far from being on the best
personal terms. Each, to use a slang expres
sion, "had it in for the other." The justice
scored the first point, 6ays the New- York
Herald.
In u field near the court room a donkey
was feeding. Just as Mr. Kldridge was in
the midst of hi pica something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with a re&onaut
bray.
".fust a minute, Mr. Kldridge, jnt a min
ute," said the justice blandly. "1 cannot
hear two at once."
The attorney was hard- hit. but he raid
nothing .mid waited his turn. It came when
the justice was explaining' a point of law to
the jury. Again the biay of the donkey re
funded through the court room. Mr. Kl
dridge placed his hand at his ear.
"Would vou mind rene-atimr that, vour
lionor?" he said in hisinildest tone. "Ihere
was such an echo that i could not under
stand." !" l'erhap the attorney was guilty of con
! tempt of court, but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honors were
about even.
Still Another Cnne.
Franksville, Wis., Oct. 12th. Many re
markable cures have been reported from all
over tne country,but there is one right here
in Krauksville which is certainly worth pub
lishing, and which has not as yet been given
to the public.
Mrs. Louis Marlcison of this place had been
i sick woman for ju;te a long time and could
not iind anything to give her any help. She
raffcred all the painful symptoms of what
is generally known ae female weakness.
Every woman' who reads her story will under
itaim these distressing conditions which
:ombin 'o make the lives of many women
one lonj, iiurden of vreakncsvn.idsuifcring.
Mrs. Markison chanced one day toihear
of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
ihat was said to be a splendid medicine for
women's weakness. She determined to try
some and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking of her case Mrs-. Mcrkison say:
"I can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
is n remedy for female weakness. They are
the best medicine 1 have ever known, and
have done inc a great deal of good."
Meanrnt Mini.
The meanest man in Illinois lives at Cen
tralia. He put a large porcelain egg in the
neat of an ambitious hen and found that the
eggt) she had afterward laid were increased in
size. Then he put a goose egg in the nest;
the aforesuid hen laid an egg just as large,
lie was so pleas-ed with thetvneme that lie
put a whitewashed football in the nest and
awaited- results. When he wtnt the next
time to search for eggs he found one as high
as a football, but no lien in sight. Securing
the egg, he taw engraved on it by the hen
photography these words: "I'm no ostrich,
put I have done my best." Later hp found
the hen inside of the egg. Leaf lliver (111.)

International Live Stock Imposition.
Chicago is beginning to consider means-for
making the International Live Stock Expo
sition, to be held this fall, better than any
ever held. Over $33,000,000 of live rtock was
handled at the Union Stock Yards last year,
almost three hundred thousand carloads of
live stock being received at the Chicago mar
ket during this period. This makes the city
oue of the greatest live -stock centers in the
world.
The International Live Stock Exposition
has been an educational agency of the great
est value to those who have visited'the show
in recent years from the cattle ramies and
feeding grounds of the west. These sources
of supply are placed within eaf-y reach of the
city by Mich trunk lines of railway as the
Chicago &. North-Western, which brings to
Chicago each year 70.000 carloads of live
stock, raided and fed in the territory it
reaches. The people living in this rich agri
cultural region, tributary to Chicago, aro
evincing each year more interest in the bet
terment of their stock. The exhibition at
the ITnitm Stock Yard? during the Interna
tional Exposition this fall will be one of the
mtwt notable ever seen, and its chief value
will be along educational lines, looking to
tlic improving of breeds and raising of
standards, which means just so much more
money in the pockets of the producer.
Full particulars ns to the program of tho
International together with announcement
of low railway rates via The North-Western
Lino will appear later.
