MEDICAL EXAMINER Of the United States Treasury Recom mends Pe=ru=na. The Women Also Reconv mend Perriwia. Miss Blanch Grey, 174 Alabama street, Memphis, Tenn,, a society woman of Memphis, writes: “To a society woman whose ner vous force is often taxed to the utmost from lack of rest and irregular meals I know of nothing which is of so much benefit as Peruna. I took it a few months ago when I felt my strength giving away, and it soon made itself manifest in giving me new strength and health.”—Miss Blanch Grey. Mrs.X.Schneider, 2409 Thirty-seventh Place. Chicago, 111., writes: “After taking several remedies with out result, I began last year to take your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was a complete wreck. Had palpitation of the heart, cold hands and feet, female weakness, no appetite, trembling, sink ing feeling nearly all the time. You said I was suffering from sj’stemic catarrh, and I believe that I received your help in the nick of time. I followed your directions carefully and can say to-day that I am well again. I cannot thank you enough for my cure.” Peruna cures catarrh wherever locat ed. Peruna is not a guess ribr an experi ment—it is an absolute scientific cer tainty. Peruna has no substitutes—no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. A tree book written by Dr. Hartman on the subject of catarrh in its differ ent phases and stages, will be sent free to any address by the Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Catarrh is a systemic disease curable only by systemic treatment. A rem edy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis. !• Address Dr. Hartman, Pesiaent of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O. i !'-1 DR. LLEWELLYN JORDAN, Medi cal Examiner of the U. 8. Treas ury Department, graduate of Columbia College, and who served three years at West Point, has the following to say of Peruna: ••Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from your wonderful remedy. One short pionth has brought forth a vast change and I now consider myself a well man after months of suffering. Fellow sufferers, Peruna will cure you. ” Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve-centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.

V i Probably the only man alive who knew Aaron Burr personally is Gabri el Harrison of 865 Sterling place, Brooklyn, a retired actor and teacher of elocution. He is 85 years old now and was only 15 when he knew Burr, but his memory of the statesman and J the sentiment regarding him which prevailed years ago is still sharp and clear cut. Burr, when Mr. Harrison knew him, lived in a two-story house in Reade street, and Mr. Harrison lived in the same street about a block away. “Burr lived with a Mr. Proud homme, an engraver,” says Mr. Harri son, “and had his offices in the front and back parlors. The front room was his office and in the rear one he did most of his writing. I remember that over his mantelpiece there hung a portrait of his daughter, Theodosia, whose death in a shipwreck cast a gloom over his life. "My father was an engraver and every day I wrent for him to take proofs to Mr. Proudhomme. One day Aaron Burr asked me to go to a near by restaurant and bring some food to him. I did it and thereafter ran many errands for the statesman. That was the foundation of a friendship which lasted until he left Reade street. "I used to take tea and toast to him from home though my mother had no idea that it was for Burr. I told her it was for the 'nice old gentle man up the street.’ When the family learned later that I was serving Burr my sister said he was a murderer. "To that my mother replied that it was not so. Hamilton had accepted the challenge, she said, and if any one should have prevented the duel it was Hamilton's place to have done -so. in me and for the errands I ran for him, gave me lessons In elocution. As I remember him he stood about 5 feet 8 inches tall. He had a trim fig ure, a beautifully poised head and a remarkable face which might be call ed classic. His manner of speech was charming and showed him to fce a master of rhetoric. His voice was sweet and never loud. Everything he said showed that his life had been a studious one and that his manners had been formed by contact with the very best society. “It was in 1831 that I knew him and a year later I missed him. That was the year there was cholera in New York and I think he must have left town to escape the epidemic. “In 1834 or the following year my friend George Manniere, who later be came mayor of Chicago, invited me to call with him on an old gentleman who was confined to his bed in the old Tontine building in Wall street. I recognized the old man lying pale and sick as my old friend of Reade street, Aaron Burr. He was glad to see me and I remember that I was so overjoy ed at seeing him that I kissed his hand. That was the last time I ever saw him. I do not care how black political prejudice has painted him. An injustice was done to him, I think, and I have always cherished and re spected his memory. I think that I I am the only man now alive who knew ; him personally.” REPLEVINED THE MONEY. New York Judge Turns Neat Trick on a Swindler. Justice Marean, of the Supreme Court, Second District, is a tall man with a tender heart, says the New York Tribune. Not long ago he caught an imposter just as the fellow was per forming the last act of a swindling trick on him. The Brooklyn judge tells the story as follows: One day a shabby and loquacious in dividual walked into the office of Judge Marean and said: “Judge, I’m in hard luck. I want a couple of dollars to-get a Turkish bath, a meal and a shave, and then I'll be in decent condition to visit my friends.” The money was handed over at once, with the courtesy that distinguishes the_ judge in his dealings with his fel low men. Then it occurred to the judge that perhaps he had been a bit hasty in giving the visitor money. He looked out of the window and saw the man heading for Court street. Grab bing his hat, he followed him straight into a saloon and heard the fellow say with a wave of the hand: “Come on men. Drink with me.” Down went the two-dollar bill on the counter. Forward surged eight or ten loungers. Just as the hobo’s words of invitation were getting cold a long arm circled over the shoulders of the thirsty and Judge Marean said quietly but firmly p.s he picked up the bill: "Not with my money.” From Section Hand to President. Prof. S. P. Brooks, who was re cently elected president of Baylor uni versinty, Waco, Tex., was a section hand on the Santa Fe railroad less than twenty years ago. Out of his small earnings he saved enough to pay his expenses for a year at Baylor. His evident disposition to make the most of every opportunity attracted the attention of R. C. Burleson, found er, and at that time president of the university, and the ex-section hand, was given every chance to improve/ himself. After graduating Mr. Brooks was a member of the faculty until two years ago, when he entered Harvard to take a post-graduate course. A GREAT GUESSING CONTEST In Which You May Win a Small For tune While Aiding a Worthy Enterprise. The Auditorium Stock Contest has been successfully launched after months of preparation, and is growing in popular favor as it becomes under stood. The Contest was started for the ben efit of the Auditorium, that the money yet required to complete the building in every detail may be quickly raised, and in a way that will be burdensome to no one. Every one likes to take a chance to win a fortune or a lesser amount, espe cially when the object to be bbnefltted is a worthy public enterprise, as Is demonstrated daily by church and charity fairs nnd the numerous other meritorious enterprises. In this case it is to finish a beautiful place of en tertainment and recreation for the citizens of Omaha, South Omaha, Council Bluffs, and tributary territory, and w'hen completed it will stand as an object lesson of the enterprise of the builders—“The People.” The "guessing” Contest as shown on the page advertisement of this issue is very simple in its operation and readily understood after reading the Rules printed therein. A ticket Is sold for 25 cents, which is exchangeable for a share of Common Stock in the Audi torium Company. With this ticket 1 goes two free guesses, one on the New York election, the other on a certain Special sum of money. The contract, or top portion of the ticket Is retained by the purchaser and the premium coupon Is filled out and sent in to the office of the Auditorium Company, room A, N. Y. Life Bldg. If a receipt for the Premium Coupon is desired, an enclosure of a 2 cent stamp will pro cure It. Those who may wish to par ticipate in the Special Prizes will be furnished with a Special ticket free with the purchase of a regular ticket. This Special ticket must be made out in the same manner and address as is given on the reguar ticket, and must accompany same when sent in for filing, and have the same number as the regular ticket. wnen these tickets properly made out are received at the Auditorium office, they are placed in metal boxes made for the purpose, in order of the estimates to iwalt the time of the awarding ot prizes, those on the elec tion, until Fpvember, and those on the Specials Until the day following the 15th or last day of each month. To show tie detail of the making up of a Special Prize, the first Special was made ready by Mr. Sam’l Rees, who will act for the printers. Mr. Rees had the amount of the prize made up in bills, gold, silver, nlckles and cents, and placed same in a pro miscuous heap. From this pile he took the money without counting, placing a larger bulk in one sack than in the other. The sacks were then tied and sealed. In this manner Mr. Rees could not possibly tell what sum had been placed in either sack, nor even approximate it. The two sacks were then deposited with the cashier of the First National Bank of Omaha, and by him securely locked in the safety deposit vaults of the bank, and cannot be distributed until after the Contest is closed at midnight of July 15th. Mr. Rees has made affidavit i that he does not know the contents of either sack, and that he will not make a guess for the prize. The guessing will be on the amount contained in the larger of the two sacks. The person making the best guess gets the contents of both sacks, or the entire prize. Where two or more persons are tied on the prize, the money will be equally divided among them. These prizes will be paid as soon as the guesses can be as sorted and the money counted after the Contest closes, probably on the following day. Fifteen trade marks taken from 10 cent packages of Defiance Starch will be exchanged for an Auditorium Stock Ticket by the Defiance Starch Co., or The Omaha Auditorium Company when presented in person or by mail. This opportunity to get really val uable premiums is rarely presented to the public. It presents a chance for every one. There is no limit as to the number of tickets purchased or ex changed for trade marks. Javal’s Theory of a Sixth Sense. Dr. Javal, of the French academy of medicine, who is sightless, denies , that nature compensates blindness by increased sensibility of touch and hearing, but contends that when a person is blind an extra development takes place in a sixth sense, which is latent in all persons. This sense, which has been called the sense of obstacles, acts by the perception of certain warm and indefinite vibrations. The seat of the sense is believed to be placed in the forehead. A spinster may be near-sighted, but she seldom falls to see what Is going on. SPECIAL SEASHORE EXCURSION. Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway.
