“To a society woman whose ner

from lack of rest and irregular meals 1
know of nothing which is of so much
benefit as Peruna. I took it a few

giving away, and it soon made itself

and health.”—Miss Blanch (Irey.
M rs. X.Schneider, 240'J Thirty-seventh
Place, Chicago, 111., writes:
“After taking several remedies with
out result, 1 began last year to take
your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was
a complete wreck. Mad palpitation of
the heart, cold hands and feet, female
weakness, no uppetite, trembling, sink
ing feeling nearly all the time. You said
I waa suffering from systemic catarrh,
and I believe that 1 received your help
in the nick of time. I followed your
directions carefully and can say to-day
that 1 am well again. I cannot thank
you enough for my cure.”
Peruna euros catarrh wherever locat
ed. Peruna is not a guess nor an experi
ment—it is an absolute scientific cer
tainty. Peruna has no substitutes—no
rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
A free book written by Dr. Hartman
on the subject of catarrh In its differ

free to any address by the Peruna
Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio.
Catarrh i6 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. llartinan, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad

SERVED AARON BUM*
OLD MAN TELLS OF FRIENDSHIP
FOR STATESMAN.
Still Rrtains Affection Formed in Hie
Boyhood Days—Lessons in Elocu
tion Given Him in Exchange for
Services.
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
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
hornme, 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 or 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 went 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.
Burr always took a great interest
In me anti 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 be 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
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,
w’ith 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 as 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 unl
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. Brookw
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 la growing
in popular favor as It becomes under
stood.
The Contest waB 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 benefltted
Is a worthy public enterprise, as is
demonstrated daily by church and
charity fairs and 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 when 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
goes two free gueBSes, 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 lo par
ticipate in the Spegial prizes will be
fimusbed with a Special ticket free
With the purchase or a regular ticket.
This Special ticket must be made out
lq the same manner and address as Is
given on the re^uar ticket, and must
accompany same when sent In for
filing, and have the same number as
the regular ticket.
When 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 await the time of the
awarding of prizes, those on the elec
tion, until November, and those on
the Specials until the day following
the 15th or last day of each month.
To show the detail of the making up
of a Special Prize, the first Special
was made ready by Mr. Sam’I 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
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, j
or the entire prize. W’here two or
more persons are tied on the prize,
the money will be equally divided ;
among them. These prizes will be j
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
I 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 apinster may be near-sighted, but
she seldom fails to see what is going
