After fifty-five hours spent in try
ing: to "get unanimous" the Jury in
the Shea case reported a disagreement
on Monday and was discharged. The
ease will now have to be tried all over
again. This was the case in which Cor
nelius P. Shea and other labor leaders
were charged with conspiracy in con
nection with the late great teamsters'
strike in Chicago. The case was called
for trial on the. thirteenth of las' S.
tember. For eleven weeka or until No.
ember 29, the lawyers quibbled over
me drawing or a jury, and the expense
io uie state or tne. case to that time
was estimated at about thirty thousand
ooiiars. xne trial continued through
put December and until late last week,
when the case went to the lurv. The
first man to be drawn on the Jury
has been virtually a prisoner for four
months. Whether It will be possible
unaer tne present rules for drawing
jurors to fill uo a nanel for another
trial Is somewhat doubtful. Altogether
veniremen were examined in get
ting the twelve who "finally heard the
case. In the new trial any venireman
not desirous of being snatched from
ujq ousiness ana the bosom of his fam
ily for a period of from t h
months la pretty sure to have opinions
mai wm aisquaiiry aim from serving
as a Juror. Moreover, since nobody who
ever saw or read abont th ntriie nr.
acts of violence connected therewith is
eugiDie io a place In the Jury box there
may be difficulty to find twelve more
men sufficiently lenorant tn
less, indeed, the bars be let down and
ciuzeus or nice county or recent ar
rivals from Palormo and the valley of
the Yang-tse-Klang be drawn upon to
luaute a jury oi our peers.
xo us great surprise the city of
Cleveland finds itself under
to supply its jail birds with clothes. A
law was passed requiring wardens to
supply prisoners with "beds, bedcloth-lnK-anOoforth;.,
In transcribing the
jw somcDoay, presumably the usual
scapegoat, the intelligent compositor,
dropped an extra comma into the com
position, making it read "beds, bed,
clothing,I" and so on. Through an in-

such. The absolute number cannot,
however, be enormous, for the Ca
nadian emigration that caused some
concern In the west two or three years
ago is proved by Canadian statistics
not to have been in itself enormously
large. The Canadian reports give the
Immigration into western Canada from
the United States for the thrw flsMi
years ending last June at 146.000 but
hardly a fourth of these were citizens
or the United States. In fact in the
eight or nine years of the Canada
movement only 62,717 American citl
rens, ,men, women and children, have
emigrated to Canada, The difference
between this number and the larger
total represents evidently immigrants
who passed on to Canada by way of
the United States.

"I have been a user of Peruna for the
last twelve years and can truthfully Bay

MRS. MARY MEYER.
Mrs. Mary Meyer, Thomson avenue,
near Shell Road, Winfield, L. Y., N. Y.,
writes:
"I have been annoyed with a cough
for years.
"Often it was so bad that I could not
sleep half the
of Peruna. Two or three times a year I
am troubled with my throat.
"I always had to have the services of
my physician two or three times in
each case.
"Although" a ttserof Peruna; I -never
thought of taking it for my throat until
atout two years ago.
"I tried Peruna to check it, and to my
great delight I was not troubled with
the smothered and choked feeling and
never have since.
"I can check it every time .with
Peruna.
"I certainly would not be without
Peruna one minute." . .. . ....... t .
"The fight against consumption is be
coming a national problem.
Everywhere we hear of sanitariums
established at the expense of the state
for the treatment of the vast army of
consumptives.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight, are recognized by the medical
profession generally as being the great
est necessities in the treatment of con
sumption in all of its stages.
Dr. Hartman has for many years ad
vocated the fresh air treatment for con
sumption. At the same time he has
recognized Peruna as a useful palliative
for the many distressing symptoms
which accompany the white plague.

"A woman recommended Peruna to

"I am glad to. say that Peruna cured

give it to my children.

me.
Peruna tends to lessen the cough, de
creases the expectoration, strengthens
the patient, increases the appetite and
in many cases procures sound, refresh
ing sleep.
But the value of Peruna in the treat
ment of a case of consumption is not so
great as it is in the prevention of con
sumption. Since it is well known that consump
tion begins with a common cold or ca
tarrh, any medicine that can be relied
upon to relieve these must be regarded
as a preventive of consumption. '
Thousands of cases of incipient con
sumption, or chronic coughs, or settled
colds, have reported Peruna as being a
safe and reliable remedy for these ailments.
MRS. FRANCES WILSON.
Mrs.Frances Wilson, 32 Nelson street,
Clinton, Mass., writes:
"Had you seen me at the time of my
illness and now, you would not wonder
that Intake delight in sounding the
praises of Peruna.
"My ailment was a severe cold which
at tacked the bronchial tubes and lungs.
"I followed your special directions and
after using six bottles of Peruna I was
on my feet again.
"I think Peruna a wonderful medi
cine." The promptness with which Peruna
relieves a fresh cold, and even , removes
chronic colds,, ' that have become
thoroughly established, is well-
known through
out the entire
country. This
ranks Peruna as a
reliable prophylactic against consump
tion. ' '
Mr. Wm. Swain, 4245 Stiles street, V
Philadelphia, Pa., writes :
"Before I commenced taking Peruna
1 had used almost everything I could
think of for catarrh ".
"I felt so tired when getting up in the
morning and my lungs felt dry and
sore. No one who has not experienced
it can imagine how I suffered.
"I tried nearly everything recom
mended, but nothing did me any per
manent good.
"The first bottle of Peruna did me so
much good that I continued taking it
until completely cured.
"I cannot praise Peruna high enough.
I wish every one could know of it."
Those suffering from colds can do
nothing better than to procure a bottle
of Peruna and give it a fair trial.
