CurluuM 1 ate allowing Separate System* of tlie Government. A most curious case, showing how the separate systems of the govern niPiit may take on confusing shape, has just come to light in Indiana. A man who has for nineteen years been con fined in jail at the expense of the na tion, has during all these years been in receipt, or intended receipt, of a considerable sum of money from the same nation, it is because the man fought in the great war that the com plication was made possible. At least, his services in battle were responsible in part for the situaton. It once oc curred to the same man that after hav ing fought the good light for freedom and unification it might be the grace ful thing for the country to recognise* his worth by a monetary consideration, so he put in an application for a pen sion. it was allowed, and the man's name was written on the book of fame, after which he was entitled to dollars. Shortly following this period another man passed on to the great beyond, under circumstances which the coro ner's jury considered called for the trying of somebody on a capital punish ment charge. It so happened that the pensioner was* the person fixed upon as the active agent assisting the earthly exit of the deceased. Although the pensioner stoutly maintained his innocence, the proof was so strong as to lead the jury to a verdict of guilty and the committing judge to a sen tence of life Imprisonment. This was in the year 1880, and for nineteen years the prisoner worked out his des tiny behind the bars. At the conclu sion of this time the man who had committed the murder took to his last bed, and it occurred to him to make a confession. So the pensioner is free now. But lie still has troubles. There are some thousands of dollars in pen sion money which the wardens have failed to turn over tc him. and he Is obliged to sue for their recovery. Be sides. there are the wasted nineteen years, because of the implicit judical faith in the infallblllty of circumstan tial evidence.—San Francisco Call. Seeking After Knowledge. Figures recently compiled by the registrar of Columbia university show that as a whole the institution stands second to Harvard in membership the respective enrollments being 5,740 and 4,392. After Columbia came the Uni versity of Michigan, with 3,813 stu dents; the University of Chicago, 3,774; the University of Minnesota, 3,423; the University of California, 3,210; Cornell university. 3,004; the University of Pennsylvania. 2,573. and Yale. 2,541. Columbia is one of the lowest numerically in the size of its men's undergraduate college, which, however, has increased more than 50 per cent in a single generation. In the scientific schools she is surpassed in numbers only by Cornell and Yale: in her graduate departments she stands first in this respect, with 422. against 398 at Harvard. The statistics further snow the peculiar prominence of Chi cago, with her theological seminary of 180 students; of Pennsylvania, with a school of 417 dentists, and another of 00 veterinaries; of Minnesota, with a college of agriculture, numbering 590 in attendance; of California with her school of art. attracting 208 students; of Cornell, whose division of forestry is established with a registration of 22, and of Yale, the only university having a separate school of music.

AND NERVOUS Thousands of Fair Women Are Never Without Peruna, The National Catarrh Remedy. Mias Marie Coats, President of the Appleton Young Ladles' Club, writes the following concerning Peruna: Appleton, Wls. The Peruna Medicine Co„ Columbus, O. Gentlemen— I nnd rerima 3 an e x c e llent ? spring and sum- : m c r medicine 3 and am glad to 1 call the atten- 3 t i o n of my 3 friends to it. q When that lan- - guid, tired feel- 3 ing comes over •' ju u, nuu juiu food no longer tastes good, and i Miss Marie Coates. £ MTtT?*Y,*TrrTTTTTTTTTT*rTTYfc small annoyances irritate you. Peruna will make you feel like another per son inside of a week. I have now used it for throe seasons and find it very reliable and efficacious.”—Marie Coats. Mrs. Al. Wetzel, 21 South 17th street, Terre Haute, Ind., write's: “Peruna is the greatest medicine on earth. I feel well and ttiat tired feel ing is all gone. When I began to taka your medicine 1 could not smell nor hear a church bell ring. Now 1 can smell and hear. Wneu I began your treatment my head was terrible, all sorts of buzzing, chirping and loud noises. Three months ago I dragged around like a snail; now 1 can walk as briskly as ever. 1 am going to go and see the doctor that said I was not long for this world, and tell him that Peruna cured me.”—Mrs. Al. Wetzel. If all tho tired women and all the nervous women, and all the women that needed a tonic would read and heed the words of these three fair ladies who have spoken right to tho point, how many invalids would bo prevented and how many wretched lives be made happy. Peruna restores health in a normal way. Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and In this way restores tbe functions of every organ. If it is the stomach that is out of order, and the digestion impaired, Pe runa quickly makes things right by restoring the mucous membrane of tha stomach. If the nerves tingle, if the brain is tired, if ihe strength is flagging and the circulation of blood weakened by flabby mucous membranes of the di gestive organs, Peruna reaches tha spot at once by giving to these mem branes the vitality and activity which belongs to them. The pelvic organs are also lined with mucous membrane which in the female sex is especially liable to de rangements. Peruna is an absolute specific in these cases. The women everywhere are praising it. No other remedy has ever received such un qualified praise from such a multitude of women. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory 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 hi3 valuable advice gratis.
