THE decision of the supreme
court in establishing the authority
o the state over the home for the
frendless at Lincoln , is good sense
as . well as good law , and settles
the matter for good. It has been
a disturbing element long enough.
As a state institution , receiving
state funds , it ought to be under
state official direction. The court
also decided that county treasurers
must pay the freight on funds sent
to the state treasurer.
A COMBINED American and Eng
lish reconuoitering force of marines
was ambushed on Wednesday near
Apia , Samoa , by King Mataafau's
savages , and seven of the landing
party , including one English and
two American officers , were killed.
A German plantation manager is
being held prisoner on a British
vessel for inciting the trouble.
The matter is likely to lead to
.complications between England
, and America and the German !
government.

ALL THE WOMEN
PRAISE AND USE PE-KU-NA POR
THEIR PECULIAR ILL ? .
( An Illinois Lady oiMYoihiuence. )
BO.VP Tjiei , Vice President of
tlie Illinois Woman's Alliance , in
a letter dated Jan. 25th , from
Chicago to Dr. Hartman , says :
"During the past year I gradually
lost flesh and strength until I was
unable to perform myvork prop
erly. I tried different remedies
and finally Pe-ru-ua was suggested
to me. It gave me new life and
restored my strength. I cannot
speak to highly of it. "
"Tours truly , EOXA TYLER. "
Mrs. Caroline Daft , of Evans-
port , O. , writes : "I can testify to
the merits of Pe-ru-ua. I am as
well and healthy as I ever was in
my life and give the credit entirely
to your medicines. "
A healthy woman is becoming
more and more rare. But com
paratively few womeu who are
suffering with catarrh know that
this is the case. Their trouble is
called dyspepsia , heart trouble , fe
male weakness , weak lungs , nerv
ous debility ; indeed , almost the
whole category of medical terms
has been applied to catarrh of
some organ of the female anatomy.
If these women could only realize
that their trouble is probably sys
temic catarrh , and cure them
selves with Pe-ru-ua , how much
unnecessary suffering would be
saved.
Insist on having Pe-ru-ua.
j
There is no medicine that can
take its place. There is only one
systemic catarrh remedy , and that
is Pe-ru-na. A free book for
women only , sent free by Dr.
Hartman , Columbus , Ohio.
