MlilttiKlit Attuck on n Doctor.
About, 12 o'clock Sunday evening,
as Dr. T. J I. Phillips, of Memphis, was
retiring for the night, some man
gained entrance to his room in the
lower story of Herman Harrison's
hotel and attempted to murder him.
The would-be assassin attacked the
doctor with a sword in his left hand.
Phillips threw up his hands and legs
to ward oil' the blow, and was struck
on the left foot, the blade cutting
the left toe to the bone. The doctor,
who was a college athlete, recovered
hla feet and dealt the assailant, an
upper cut. with his fists, breaking
several bones in the right hand in
doing so, and pitching him through
'r" the window to the ground below.
'V'' The assailant, was badly cut, the
J blood snurtimr on the window sill.
The noise aroused the occupants of
the hotel and scared the' intruder
away. Dr. Phillips has no clew to
i his assailant's identity, as the room
1 Aj-"'!S dark and he could not see the-
'Wiul's i"ce' ant1 I,c ,lcnows of no mo"
i i )tive for the attack.

Labor unions are against the pas
sage ofH. 11. Ib2, Introduced by Peed,
of Nemaha, to modify the present ex
emption laws. Gus Hollo, a member
of the Omaha Central Labor union, is
quoted as saying: "The bill is in
tended solely to help the grocers'
trust. It cannot, be of service to
the laboring man. The grocers claim
that the bill will do away with the
losses incurred by giving credit to
men who never pay and thereby re
duce prices, but the claim is too
thin. Every grocer keeps a blue
book In which is the record of his
customers. If a customer has a repu
tation of falling to pay his debts he
will be refused credit, so you see the
measure will be of no benefit In that
direction."

THE season of catching cold Is upon
us. Tho cough and tho sneeze
and the nasal twang arc to be
heard on every hand. Tho origin of
chronic catarrh, tho most common and
dreadful of diseases, is a cold.
This is tho way tho chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
Tho cold generally starts in tho head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
tho person has a cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from
tho nose! hawking, spitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped
up, full feeling in tho head, and sore,
inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottlo of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

Whilo many people havo been cured'
of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as a rule, when tho catarrli
becomes thoroughly fixed moro than
ono bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer
able of catarrh of twenty years'stand
ing. It is tho best, if not tlie only inter
nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex
istence. Put prevention is far better than cure.,
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at tho
slightest symptom of cold or soro throatl
at this season of the year and thus pre
vent what is almost certain to end in
chronic catarrh.
