MRS. GRACE JANSON.
Mr. Grace Janson, 1 Madinou htreet, Chicago, III., writes :
"Typhoid fever left me with a complication cf diseases. I had a terrible
pain in my leftside and had a cough that all my friends feared would soon end
my life.
".My doctor came to see me three times a week, but could do me no good,
lie could not account for the pa la in my ieft side and could give me nothing to
relieve me.
"About this time I began taking Peruna and before I had taken one bottle I
had hopes of getting better, fiy the time I had taken the second bottle, my
cough was entirely gone and I felt like a new being.
"I took lust three bottles of Peruna and am entirely well and feel better
than I have felt for years. I thank God and Dr. Hart man for my recovery.
MANY casea of chronic catarrh re
sult from a settled cold.
Women are especially liable to colds.
These colds occur more frequently dur
ing the wet, eloppy weather of winter
and spring than any other time of the
year. Often they
are not considered
serious and are al
lowed to run on,
or they are treated

in such a way as to only palliate the
symptom., while the cold becomes more
deep-seated and the patient finally
awakens to the fact that she has a well
developed case of catarrh.
By reason of their delicate structure
the lungs are frequently the seat of
cold, especially if there is the slightest
weakness of these organs. The treat
ment of catarrh of the lungs Is also
more difiicult and discouraging than
catarrh of any other organ of the body.
It would be wise, therefore, to guard
against it by every precaution possible.
lVruna has been found a most reliable
remedy for coughs, colds and catarrhal
di.-eases, by reason of the fact that it
goes at once to the very seat of the
trouble.
Mrs. M. F. Jones, Uurning Springs,
Ky., writes :
"We have been using Peruna for some
time and have no hesitancy in recom
mending it for the thousand and one
ailments of humanity.
"No fai'f should ever be without it,
for it i an unfailing cure for colds, and
it is an excellent remedy to prevent and
relievo croup."
Strong and Vigorous Since Taking
Pe-ru-na.
Mrs. Laura Benyo, 82-t Ann street,
Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
"I am entirely cured of catarrh of
the bronchial tubes by Peruna. My
chest feels strong and vigorous, and it
eeems as though I never had catarrh.
"Whenever I am in need of medicine,
Peruna will be what I will take. It
saved my life. I shall always sing its
praises."
One Bottle Brings Relief.
Miss Annie Huelsman, K. R. S,
Wright City, Mo., writes:
"For years I was troubled with ca
tarrh. A friend advised Peruna. With
the lirst bottle 1 found relief. I kept
on taking it and am entirely well."

THE ASSOCIATION WINS OUT
The Supreme "Court Says Assessors Can
not Tax Associations on Mortgages.
The decision of the Lancaster coun
ty district court striking from the tax
list an assessment of $20,000 on mort
gages against the Nebraska building
and loan association of Lincoln was
affirmed by the supreme court yester
day, says the Lincoln Journal. The
court holds that the law of 1889 defin
ing the manner in which and by whom
shares in a building and loan associ
ation shall be listed for assessment, is
not unconstitutional and was not re
pealed by the revenue law of 1903. It
is further held that an assessment of
the amount of mortgages taken to
the association, which the assessor
assumes are unpaid, cannot be upheld.
The assessor found the face value of
mortgages of the association to be
$170,587 and by taking the number of
shares listed by shareholders assumed
that $100,000 were unpaid and be as
sessed the association on $20,000. The
association appealed to the county
board of equalization which ruled
against it. The district court ruled in
favor of the association and struck the
assessment from the tax lists. From
this decision the county board of
equalization appealed to the supreme
court. The decision of the lower court
is affirmed.
Will Test Two-Cent Law.
A Chicago dispatch of the 5th says:
After deciding to contest in the
courts any and all 2-cent passenger
rate laws in the west, the railroads
are quietly preparing to put the new
tariffs in effect in Nebraska. The
railroads have their tariff's prepared.
It is claimed, however, that the tem
porary submission to the new rates
does not mean that there will not be
no contest. The fine for a violation of
the new law is so severe that the
railroads do not care to run the risk
of piling up any enormous amounts in
fines to await the decision of a con
test in the courts. They claim they
will put in the rates and will also con
test the new law.
Eyes tested and glasses fitted at Cra
biil's. Satisfaction guaranteed.
Depart for Washington State.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Neville and two
sons, Wm. II . and Chas. D., departed
last night on the Burlington train No.
13, for Cbehalis, Washington, where
they will make their home in the fu
ture. The Neville family have resided
in this city for many years and have a
host of friends who regret to learn of
their departure. The sou, John D.
and daughters, Mrs. F. L. Mary and
Miss Agnes, have been located in
Chehalis for some time, and the re
moval of the father, mother and
brothers from this city to the west,
re-unites the entire family again. The
Journal wishes the Neville family a
prosperous life in the western city
that they have chosen for their home.
On Sunday evening Mrs. T. L. Mur
phy entertained the Neville family,
before their departure for the west.

The Nehawka Register came out

ance and filled with local matter. O
J. O'Day is an old band at the busi
ness which is fully demonstrated. The
attitude of the Register, politically,
will be independent, as will be seen
by the editor's salutatory, from which
we take the following extract:
"We expect to take part in county
and state politics; but will be thor
oughly non-partisan, and if the demo
crats or republicans put up bad men
we'll try to help defeat them; but good
men like Jesse Root, Judge Travis,
Attorney Rawls, "Billy" Wheeler,
Carrol Quinton, Clerk Rosencrans, if
they have administered their trust
well should be retained; because a
man's honesty and capability and not
his political beliefs should be the re
quisite qualifications for office. This is
a big age and we can afford to be big;
the world has no place forsmall tissue
paper fellows."
