valued at $90,000.
It was reported that an injunction
would be asked for by one of more of
the competing towns to prevent Kear
ney from getting tho school without a
fight thrqugh the courts. The request
is to bo based 'on tho fact that Kear

quires that tho land bo in one tract
of not less than 20 acres; that, Kear
ney was allowed to modify Its bids
after all were opened; and If these are
not sufficient to get the Injunction, then
tho constitutionality of the law giving

"I think Unit a woman naturally

an old nurse, who advised mo to try
Peruna, and promised good re.sultsl'C
I would persist and take itregularlv.
I thought this was the least 1 could
do and procured a bottle. I know as

affecting mo differently from any

Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvio

cures catarrh of tho head. Peruna
has become renowned as n positive
euro for femalo ailments simply bo
causo the ailments aro mostly duo

tho trouble. Peruna cures tho ca
tarrh. Tho symptoms disappear.

work without tho greatest exhaustion.
This is a very common sight nnd is
almost always due to pelvio catarrh.
It is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after year with a

Pcrunaeurcscntarrh permanently. It
cures old chronic cases as well as asilght
