; LINCOLN, Sept 7.-tSpecial.)-Th of
L ficials of the Nebraska state fair were
JflQ "l'ufi exceedingly happy today and their
meeting In the . office of the secretary
waa marked' bj good natifre and much
satisfaction. Said Seer -y Mellor, "We
are feeling pretty good this morning, for
from the educational standpoint we havt
V proven the fact that we have, made good
I and that the atendance at our great
school of Instruction was better than
most of the educational institutions of
the state. On an average over 1.0C3 people
attended the state fair for ever school
day. of, the year. Added to that we ex'
ceeded the banner attendance last year
by 2,755." ; . . - v..,- ' i '
Bach year has been a successful year
and each year has seen, with one ox
cept'on, the. attendance reach higher and
higher and the interest trow greater and
greater, until the Nebraska 'fair is khowr.
all over the country and conceded by
all. to be one of the best, if not the best
in the great agricultural west. fThat It
may be known how the attendance has
been for the last six years, the following
will show: . ;
. . No Special Rates.
fThe increase, in the attendance this
JT year was made in the face of the fact
f that for the first time in the history of
,the fair for forty-foftr ' years, the rail
roads refused to grant special rates and
that each '-visitor who csrtie to the fair
by rail was compelled to pay the regular
(rate. In all probability the attendance
this year was assisted by tha automobile
to a great extent. A fair estimate would
place the numDer of machines at the fair
Thursday at nearly 2,000. So - to the
i automobile must in some measure be
L 'given the credit for the breaking of
the attendance record.
1l The aviation program this year was
hroken into by the high wind which pre
vailed on two days, but on Friday the
iconditions were much better and Aviator
Champion made three flights, much to
' the satisfaction of the fair visitors and
in one flight a height of 2,400 feet was
! reached. TheBleriot machine was some
thing new to the state fair and made a
favorable Impression on everybody.

Jadajre Scores Secret Societies.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1. High school "frets"
and secretN societies generally were
severely condemned in a decision handed
down by Judge John Gibbons today In
which he ordered reinstated Edward
Smith, a' former pupil In the Oak Park
High school, who was expelled because hb
was believed to be a member of a high
school "frat" The court held there was
no evidence to show the boy was a mem
ber of the secret society.

Colonel Bill Cody's declining years, even
If every other aim had failed, is rendered
singularly happy. In living to see the
fruition of his work of pacification be
tween the red race and the white race
exemplified in friendship of his little
camp friends.
A factor In the era when force and
fighting to the death was, unfortunately,
a necessary jnethod of civilization's prog
ress, he, after the pipe of peacV was
smoked, has continued the work 6t bring
ing the once Imt'able foes to Under
stand and appreciate each other to heal
the wounds of one and demand consldera'
tion and, as far as possible, amends from
the other. The one to forget and con
done instead , of moping oyer his loss of
prestige and material possessions and the
Other to appreciate the debt due to one
whose primitive simplicity paid the pen
alty through a lack, of foresight that will
never leave the victor free from the duty
to enake the amend material, as well as
honorable. '
Up to scarcely two decades ago the In
tensity of hatred between the races wai
such that even one in the highest Btatlon
said, "There Is no good Indian but a
dead one," and on both sides Infantine
mental birthmarks were bred of In
stinctive mutual hatred. In after years
the comnandment "not to kill," when
applied to the one, was null, while the
other's religious glory was achieved by
adding torture to death. -
The picture here happily illustrates
the obliteration of these conditions in the
rising generation, and the old scout'
tent is the rendezvous and his knees tne
mecca point where the little paleface and
the tiny redskin join, in childish Inno
cence living friendship, and the old
fighter and friend their dally Santa Claus.
Man Who Dies Gets
a Drink in Morning
From Black Bottle
CHICAGO, Sept. 7. Details of the Inner
working of the L alleged vice T reign In

of a resort, always kept back of the

this decanter the morning of the day he
died. -,.
he declared that on one occasion Foss
said he would "fix" Messmaker If h
did npj keep away. The woman hinted
that . perhaps jealousy mlfrht have had
something to do with Messmaker's death.
, While Mrs. Parker was on the witness
stand a dozon deputy United States
marshals, acting on Information , furn
ished by Miss Virginia Brook, a girl
reformer raided a number of . resorts
in West Hammond in search for violat

8. B. HAItTMAX, M. I).
. In 1S60 I was practicing medicine In
Mllloi'svllle, Pennsylvania, a thriving
farming community. A promln?nt citlsen
of that locality called at my office one
day in a very feeble condition. So much
io he hud to be assisted in alighting from
his wagon.
I found on questioning him that he
had been aff.lcted for about two years.
He hai consulted various doctors, among
them a spet-lallst from Philadelphia. They
pronounced his disease to be Brlght's dis
ease of the kidneys. He was gradually
failing In st. jngth, losing flesh rapidly,
altogether presented . a very pitiable
spectacle, the remnant of a once strong
and happy man.
I had been treating a neighbor of his
succesfully. This neighbor had highly
recommended me and thus it was he
had come to me.
He told me that the doctors had
practically given -up his case as hope
less and he felt free to consult any
other physician. I hesitated to take
the case, as I felt sure I could not do
anything more than the other phy
sicians had done. I told him so, yet he
insisted upon my prescribing. I was a
graduate of the Jefferson Medical Col
lege at Philadelphia, and as one of the
consulting physicians had been a pro
fessor in that college It seemed to me
quite unlikely that I would be able to
do any more than had been done, but I
prescribed what aemeed to be the best
thing under the circumstances.
He went away and in a week he re:
turned saying he was no better, that: he
waa.. still losing ground. He judged
that be had taken the same medicine
before. No doubt he had. But he
wished me to prescribe again. ! did so.
This went on for about two months,
the patient falling all the tin.e, and 1
waa - becoming thoroughly discouraged
with the case.
One day the patient said to me.
"Doctor, why don't you give me the
medicine you gave my neighbor? We
all thought he would die, but your
medicine oured him. This was why i
came to you. Why not give me the
same medicine you gave him?"
"BuV I said, "your neighbor did not
have kidney disease. It was a bowel
complaint that I prescribed for In his
case. I remember I gave him the Neu
tralizing Mixture that I make a great
deal of use of In bowel diseases."
"Well, I want some of the same med
icine you gave him. I worked wonders
with hin.' and I believe it will with' me."
"But," I said, "this Is not a medicine
for kidney disease."
"Well, since you seem to be like the
rest of the doctors, you cannot help
mo. why not try the medicine that
helped my neighbor?"
After some hesitation I concluded to
give him a bottle of It In ten days
he returned.' He at once began to berate
me in no complimentary words, saying:
"You knew very well this medicine
would help me. You Ijeld It back merely
to get more fees for treating me. From
the first the medicine has helped me
and I have made rapid improvement If
I could have had this medicine a year
ago I should have been saved a great
deal of expense and loss of time."
I replied that I was glad the medi
eine had helped him. I was somewhat
confused by his brusque manner and
rough speech. I gave Mm another bot
tle of medicine. Did not see him again
for about three weeks. ' Once more he
ceiled at my office for another bottle
of medicine, which was - his last calL
A mouth or so atterwards a neighbor
ujf his called and got a bottle of the
name meuicine, saying itiat my patient
was practically a well man, attending
to his duties about his large farm.
. l.had given him the Neutralizing Mix
ture whiuii was a remedy that I had
used before omy for bowel diseases.
The same remeuy that has since, been .,
jold unuer the name of Peruna. I could
not quite understand how It was that
I'truna should operate so benefically
In such seemingly different diseases. I
lwid not yet grsusped the correct philos
ophy of aisease.' I did not then clearly
comprehend that catarrh may affect the
uldneys as well as the bowels. Noth
.iig of that sort was taught in the booka
a those days. It took me years before
- tlearly comprehended that catarrh waa
. dlseaae liable to attack any organ of
tho body. ' ,
Catarrh Is a disease of the mucous
membranes. The mucous membranes
line every organ, duct and cavity in the
body. 1 Thus It is catarrh may eettle
anywhere where there is a mucous mem
brane. . . ' , i ' i -'.
.Peruna Is my remedy for, all these
cases. . I insist upon It however, that '
Peruna is not, a cure-all. I use it for
Just one disease, catarrh. But as catarrh
Is liable to affect so many, different
places, disturb so many different or
gans. It does seem to many people as
If I regarded Peruna as a cure-all. . ,
The above narrative is simply one of
the many cases in my early practice
that ' brought me to ' comprehend the
wonderful efficacy of Peruna in auch
a variety of diseases. The kidneys may
be affected by other diseases -' than,
catarrh, but the average case of kidney
disease Is catarrh of the kidneys. All
cases of Brlght's disease begin with
catarrh of the kidneys. This being
true, and It also being true that Peruna
Is a catarrh remedy, it follows that a
great many cases of kidney disease
would be benefited by Peruna. Peruna
Is for ale at all drug stores.
