It a comfort to know cf a remedy
which may t-o used with unquestioned
beneficial results. I gladly recommend
Peruna aa a safe, reliable ' remedy In
rut ct catarrh of th.e stomach, helpful
la building up the system worn out with
overwork cr ape.
Several of my friends who have used
Peruna bay spoken of it in the highest
Urai, and I congratulate you on its
merit -
Mr. TV. E. Grissom, Henry, Ellis Co,
Texas, writes:
I took Peruna faithfully over two
months, and the result Is a thoroughly
renovated system and a strong, buoyant
feeling, to say nothing cf a cure of tho
ebroais catarrh. Therefor I shall avail
myself f evrry opportunity to speak of
Peruna as a catarrh cure.
Mr. Harry M.Btevens,Midland Beach,
lm I., New York, proprietor of "The
Richmond" Hotel, says of Peruna :
It gives me pleasure to testify to tho
value of Peruna. I have used it for years
and hare found it to be a most excellent
family remedy. For cold, catarrh and
similar flis, it Is unsurpassed." Cor
dially and gratefully,
' i H.M.Stevens.
Catarrh is a systemic disease, cnrable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
tbe depressed nerve centers. This isj
whatPerunadocs. Peruna immediately !
invigorates the nerve-centers which
five vitality to the mucous membranes, j
Then catarrh disappears. Then catarrh
is permanently cured.
Pcruca cures catarrh wherever lo
cated. Peruna is sot a guess nor an ex
perimentit is an absolute scientific
certainty. Peruna haa no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
A free book written by Dr.
Hart man, on the subject of ca
tarrh In Its different phases ana
stages, will be sent by The Peruna

by even tbe casual observer that the
female Image Is bereft of one of the

Crusader, while fighting in the east,
was made a prisoner of war and
brought before Saladlo, who, before
executing judgment upon him, asked
him If there was any reason why he
should net be put to death.-, To this
the knight replied that he was but
young, and would leave a newly wedded
wife, who t wpuld bitterly mourn his
"The love of woman is as a fleeting
breath," retorted the sultan. "Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another." To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. "Well, then,"
replied Saladln, "I will promise on my
oath as a soldier that If this man's
wife will cut oft one of her hands and
send It to me I will set him free to
go to her " By tedious and slow jour
neyings the message came, and she, In
all piteousnes s for him who was her
lover and her lord, caused her hand to"
be cut ofT and sent It -to the sultan,

A Wonderful Bird.
One day a wonderful bird tapped at
the window of Mrs. Nansen's wife of
the famous arctic explorer home at
Christlanla. Instantly, the window
was opened and In another moment
she covered the little messenger with
kisses and caresses.
The carrier pigeon had been away
from the cottage 30 long months, but It
had not forgotten the way home. It
brought a note from Nansen, stating
that all was going well with him and
his expedition in tbe polar region.
Nansen bad fastened a message to
the bird and turned It loose.
The frail courier darted out Into the
blizzardy air. It flew like an arrow
over n thousand in lies of frozen waste,
and then sped forward over another
thousand miles of ocean and plains
and forests, and. one morning entered
the window of the waiting mistress
and delivered the message which she
had been awaiting so anxiously.
We boast of human pluck, sagacity
and endurance, but this loving little
carrier pigeon, in Its homeward flight,
after an absence of 30 months, accom
plished a feat so wonderful that we
can only give ourselves up to the
amazement and admiration which must
overwhelm every one when tbe mar
velous story Is told. Atlanta Constitu

"I'll tell you why It is." said one of
the best dressers In town the other
day. "It Is because one man brushes
his hat with a stiff bristled whisk, and
the other rubs bis scftly with a piece
of woolen cloth. The felt of a hat Is
such a delicate stuff that a stiff whisk
applied to it has pretty much the effect
that a currycomb or a rake would have
on a suit of clothes. It wears the nap
off, exposing the bare gray foundation
In short order.
"A piece of woolen cloth, rubbed
over a hat with a circular motion that
conforms to the grain, doesn't rub off
the nap at all. but keeps It lustrous
and firra and of good color. I buy one
$2.50 hat a year and rub It each
morning with a bit of flannel. I guar
antee that It outlasts three $5 hats that
are raked and scraped with whisks ev
ery day." Philadelphia Record.
An Extraordinary Island.
In the bay of Plenty, New Zealand,
Is one of the most extraordinary Is
lands In tbe world. It Is called White
Island and consists mainly of sulphur
mixed with gypsum and a few other
minerals. Over the Island, which is
about three miles in circumference and
which rises between 800 and 900 feet
above the sea, floats continually an
Immense cloud of vapor attaining an
elevation of 10.000 feet. In the center
Is a boiling lake of acid charged water
covering R0 acres and surrounded with
blowholes from which steam and sul
phurous fumes are omitted with great
force and noise. With care a boat can
be navigated on the lake. The sulphur
from White Island is very pure, but
little effort has yet been made to pro
cure It systematically.

In ; itself quite ' sufficient to give a

was rehearsing his part Bulow waa
forced to go over the same bars a num

beginning to sing. - Tired of his wasted
efforts, the leader stopped the orchestra
and angrily turned to the singer.

It resembled the flutter of wings, but

Too Maeh Far tbr Tiger.

jungle paths were the shortest route
we made the trlp In chairs slung on

asleep from the swinging motion when
I was pitched out by the native drop

That's how I met my tiger. With a

mouthful of my coat. Intending, no
doubt, to carry me Into the dense un

tle of ammonia In mycoat pocket, car
ried It. for snake bites, you know, and
when the brute took the mouthful, he
broke the bottle. The whiff he got
made his whiskers curl, and one was
enough. He rolled over a couple of
times, gasping and waving his paws,
and then made off as quickly as he
appeared. ' Hurt? ; No,: only a few

Politicians In Lincoln
Something, in the nature of a grand
stand play for the benefit of the better
element evidently prompted those in
authority in this city to revoke the 11
cer.se of Druggist Rlggs. Friends of
Mr. Riggs insist that a little pressure
was brought to bear on the excise
board by a few business men who got
more than they, bargained for In the
recent cut rate war. Careful Investi
gation shows that Mr; Rlggs came out
of the price-cutting contest with fly
ing colors, while several other con
cerns were pressed painfully near the
verge of bankruptcy. The question of
regulating the sale of liquor for medic
inal purposes is a difficult one, -and to
prevent the violation of the law is
practically impossible. Every man
that Illegally ' retails liquor In his
place of business should be punished.
But suppress the evil everywhere. It
is manifestly unfair to revoke the li
cense of one man and allow a dozen,'
more all the freedom that absence of
police surveillance will v allow, To
plead Ignorance of this state of af
fairs Is no excuse. The men In au
thority draw their salaries for keep
ing informed on these- subjects. It is
their business It seems that eight
cases were worked up by the officers
last fall. Why was only one prose
cuted? During fair week liquor was
openly sold at a n imber of places. Evi
dence could have been easily gath
ered at that time. Favoritism in the
enforcement of municipal laws is tbe
baleful curse of modem city govern
ment. Nothing can be more annoy
ing to a reputable business man than
the petty thrusts and tyranies of men
who take -advantage of 'positions of
trust in order to play even with some
rival. Partiality and dishonesty in
such matters are direct blows at the
liberties of the individual, and cannot
be too strongly condemned. Again,
the scheme of making an "example"
of someone just before election does
not pioduce the results In these latter
days that it did when first invented a
half century ago. Justice, fairness,
Impartiality these are the founda
tion stones of good government; and
nowhere are their violation more ob
noxious than "in the small affairs of
local administration.

are Indignant and will contest the elec
tion, on the ground that the victor is
a bigamist. He is divorced from a
first wife and married a second and
they will seek to prove he did not
wait for the decree of divorce before
his second marriage. This novel view
of the marriage question, as applied
to congress, opens a field for specula
tive Inquiry. Will the Sulus be barred
from congress after McKinley has
made a treaty recognizing polygamy?
The precedents recently established in
dicate that one wishing to break into
congress should he a little careful
about getting married. He can main
tain, as some congressmen do, a whole
harem of mistresses, or cast them oS
as Breckenridge did, without losing
preBtlge, but if he marries them as
Roberts did, he will be promptly
turned out. The Dakota Rurallst.

Baking as a Cure
; W. B. Northrup, writing In the cur-,
rent issue of the Strand Magazine,,
says that baking alive is the latest
thing the American medical science,
and that there are now four large hu-i
man bakeries in operation . in this
country one in New York, one in
Philadelphia and one in. Chicago, and
one in the office of Drs. Searles and
Searles in this city, which may be
seen In operation at their offices in the .
Richards block. He points out that
the application of hot air is nothing
new, and all that Is claimed by the ;
modern bakers of persons is the man
ner in which the heat is applied bo
that the patient Is able to withstand
even as high as 400 degrees Fahren
heit, or 188 degrees more than the
boiling point of water. The baking
cure is becoming very popular and has
already been used in 3,000 cases, of
gout, rheumatism, inflammation and
obesity, as well as for relieving all
forms of pain. Persons who have been
unable to walk for years, because oi:
deforming rheumatism have beeni -cured,
and in every instance some re-
lief Is given. When the treatment be
gins and the heat is first turned on the
patient experiences no sensation other
than a mild warmth. Up to 150 degreea
little inconvenience Is felt by the pa
tient, but at that point the person be
comes very thirsty, and Is handed lit
tle sips of water every minute or two
by the attendant Of the very high
temperatures Mr. Northrup thus de
scribes the effect on the patient?
: At 200 degrees one experiences a
dreamy sensation, and from this point
up to 280 degrees the baking expert
ence Is really quite pleasant. Water
boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit and
yet at 280 Fahr. a human being doen
not suffer the least inconvenience.
This degree of heat 280 degrees Fahr. -Is
the average applied at most of
h. Cnrn am a marhlnes Tt fa onHlirAil
for upwards of an hour. In certain
cases, however, much higher tempera
tures are reaulred. In some condi
tions from 350 degrees to 400 degree I
Fahr. are necessary. Heat at these
high degrees is not so very pleasant.
The body seems to be literally roast
ing. The blood at 350 degrees seems
actually to be boiling, and can be felt
to be coursing through the veins at
racehorse speed. The heart thumps
wildly, or else seems to have disap
peared altogether. Bags of Ice are
constantly applied to the head when
these degrees cf heat are administered.
Sips of ice water are given from time
to time. - . l-
After the baking the patient . feels
very weak, but a two . hours' sleep
brings back the strength and a feel
ing of freedom from all bodily ills.
Any person suffering from gout,
rheumatism or other troubles of a slm- j
ilar character would find it Interfac
ing to call at Drs. Searles and SearJei"
ofiices In the Richards block' in this
city and see this marvelous invention;
in operation. '
The Nebraska Mercantile Mutual In
surance Co. of this city has now over
seven thousand' policy-holders nrtd
about six million insurance in force.
This is one of the mutual companies
in the state that has made a success
of Its business. ,
Besides aiding in the general reduc
tion of insurance rates it has sti.ll
saved its members some money on the
cost of their own insurance. It writes
all classes of city and village proporty,
anywhere in Nebraska. i
Tho patronage it receives in Lincoln
where its management is so thorough
ly known is sufficient proof of Its
standing. . , j
