THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME
ARE NEVER WITHOUT PERUNA IN THE HOUSE FOR
CATARRHAL DISEASES
MHW
MR AND MRS J O ATKINSON INDEPENDENCE MO
T TNDER date of January 10 1897 Dr
- Hartman received the following
letter
My wife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past 25
years
Her case had baffled the skill of some
of the most noted physicians One of her
worst troubles was chronic constipation of
several years standing
She also was passing through that most
critical period in the life of a woman
change of life In June 1895 I wrote to
you about her case You advised a course
of Peruna and Manalin which we at once
commenced and have to say it completely
cured her She firmly believes that she
would have been dead only for these
wonderful remedies
About the same time I wrote you about
my own case of catarrh which had been of
25 years standing At times I was almost
past going I commenced to use Peruna
according to your instructions and continued
its use for about a year and it has com
pletely cured me
Your remedies do all that you claim
for them and even more Catarrh
cannot exist where Peruna Is taken
according to directions Success to
you and your remedies

In a letter dated January 1 1900 Mr
Atkinson says after five years experience
with Peruna
will ever continue to speak a good
word for Peruna In my rounds as a
traveling man I am a walking adver
tisement for Peruna and have Induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results lam still cured of catarrh
John O Atkinson
Box 272 Independence Mo
When old age comes on catarrhal dis
eases come also Systemic catarrh is almost
universal in old people
This explains Jwhy Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people Peruna is
their safe guard Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly
Such cases cannot be treated locally
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them This is exactly what
Peruna is
If you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory 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 his valuable advice

With its January issue Scribners
Magazine enters upon its 33d volume
Among other striking features for 1903
it announces the reminiscences of the
famous Confederate general John B
Gordon probably the most fascinating
and popular lecturer on war times
General Gordon is idolized in the
south where he is now the commander-in-chief
of the United Confederate
Veterans and he is equally popular in
the north where he won all hearts
by his friendship for General Grant
during the closing weeks of his life
The vivid personality of General Gor
don is expressed on every page of his
reminiscences They will begin to ap
pear in Scribners in the early spring
The lawyer happened to be acquaint

and he met him during a recess of the
court says the Brooklyn Eagle The
lawyer was just lighting up and un
der ordinary circumstances he would
have offered the other a cigar

it might not look right
I suppose he said guardedly that
a cigar would not influence your ver
dict
The juror was equally cautious
A good one wouldnt he replied
but a poor one might prejudice me
He got a good cigar

most complete satisfaction is express

Pills for those complaints resulting
from diseased Kidneys This satisfac

seem to take pleasure in telling of it
Take what Mrs Lydia Parker says
for example
I was trouble with Back Ache
says Mrs Parker And all the time
when I was stooping over a stitch
would take me in the back and I
could not straighten up for a while
I sent and got a couple of boxes of
Dodds Kidney Pills and before I had
finished taking the first the stitch
had gone and it has not been back
Bince
Other people here have had similar
experiences with Dodds Kidney Pills
and their popularity is steadily on the
increase

Bolt of Lightning Uncovers Vein of Iron Ore for Which Two Miners
Had Vainly Sought for Months
vwwwv
It will not be an easy task for one
to convince Larry ODonnell and
Prank Ingersoll two prospectors of
Sunset canyon that nature did not
get up the electrical storm which vis
ited that locality this week especially
for their benefit writes the Los An
geles correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean Be it known that thun
derstorms are extremely rare in Cal
ifornia Indeed there are plenty of
persons here whose hair shows gray
who have never heard the voice of
thunder In the mountain sections of
the state thunderstorms do at rare
intervals occur but it has been a num
ber of years since Sunset canyon
echoed to the reverberations of the
thunders voice until the recent
storm
For a number of years prospectors
have suspected that a considerable
vein of iron ore lay concealed some
where in the mountains in the vicinity
of the canyon and much prospecting
has been done in the endeavor to lo
cate it Float bearing traces of iron
is plentifully scattered over a large
section of country and the two pros
pectors above mentioned followed the
lead to Sunset canyon and there in
what seemed to be a promising spot
they began sinking a shaft hoping to
cross cut the mineral lode Patiently
and persistently the men worked all
through the summer and they had a
hole some thirty feet deep with two
lateral tunnels running several feet
At the end of the year says the
Worlds Work we may congratulate
ourselves that it will leave the world
in much better plight than it found it
When it began there was war in South
Africa and there were troublesome
hostilities in the Philippines Now
peace is broken if broken at all only
by the unrest in Venezuela and Co
lombia and in Hayti that follows their
revolutions and in Africa where the
Mad Mullah has attacked the Brit
ish And not only is the world at
peace but the great nations are more
securely linked together perhaps than
they ever were before New forces for
peace are at work especially two of
the strongest possible world influ
ences an organized and closely knit
commerce which none can afford to
disturb for fear of a lasting loss of
trade and in particular the over
whelming commercial power of the
United States which would gain a
still surer lead by the suspension of
industrial activity in any important
country The little periodical adjust
ments of power and of privilege that
the nations used to make by special
treaties were crude and weak guaran
ties of peace in comparison with the
compelling power of modern com
merce and all that it implies The
most recent wars were really only
frontier wars
Men without historical knowledge
DUTIES OF A TROUBLE MAN
Specially Employed to Listen to Hard
Luck Stories
Annoyed by the constant tales of
people with troubles to tell the pro
prietors of a saloon at Matthews Ind
have hired a man to remain in their
place whose sole business it is to
listen to the troubles of others ac
cording to the Indianapolis News
In front of the saloon they have
erected a platform and have fenced it
off by an iron railing It is upon this
platform that the trouble man sits
and sympathizes with his ever growing
clientele Almost any time of day the
trouble man may be seea with ready
Into the mountain to show for their
summers labor Unfortunately this
was all they did have to show for it
for no trace of the mineral they
sought had been found and their
means had played out
On the day of the storm they con
cluded to abandon the search and
they had taken the tools from the hole
and were packing their camp outfit
when the storm came up The fall of
the rain was accompanied by a bril
liant electrical display and loud claps
of thunder Suddenly there came a
most terrific clap of thunder accom
panying a blinding flash of lightning
and it seemed to the watching men as
though the mountain was being torn
asunder A moment later another
equally severe crash followed and a
third clap came a little later The
lightning bolts seemed to be directed
at the shaft they had so recently
abandoned and when the storm had
cleared and they investigated they
saw that the wall of the shaft had
been seamed and shattered by the
electrical bolts They descended tc
ascertain the results of the holts and
found the wall of the shaft opposite
to the lateral tunnels had been riven
and several tons of rock had been
scaled off and had fallen to the bottom
of the shaft but what was of more
interest and importance to the pros
pectors the vein of ore which they
had so persistently sought had been
laid bare
FENIAN FLAG A RELIC
Buffalo Possesses Banner That Was Carried by the Irish Troops During
the Invasion of Canada
swslw
A faded green silk flag with one
corner torn into ribbons has been
placed in the collection of the Buffalo
Historical society It is a relic of the
Fenian invaders who crossed into Can
ada from Buffalo on the night of May
31 1866 and who had to come back a
few days later after having thrown
Canada into a spasm of terror This
flag went through what is known as
the battle of Ridgeway which village
is now more familiar to Buffalonians
as the town back of Crystal Beach
The flag was formerly presented to
the Historical society by James McEl
roy in whose family it had been for a
long time and by D E Mahoney The
exercises were held in the societys
lecture room About 200 persons were
present President Andrew Langdon
in response to a few remarks made
by Mr Mahoney said he was reminded
of an incident that came under his
observation while in the office of the
president of a large New York bank
It was during a political campaign
and one of the other officers coming
into the room hung up the portrait of
one of the candidates he said The
president immediately said Take that
down We have no politics here Its
the same way with us We accept
relics whether we approve of them or
not and we accept this flag for its
historical interest
The flag which was carried by the
Buffalonians who took part in the in
vasion is nine feet long and six feet
wide In the upper left hand corner
a golden sunburst was once painted
on the background of green silk but
its outlines were destroyed by a Cana
dian ball that tore through the flag
at the battle of Ridgeway That por
tion of the flag is merely a collection
of tatters now Running in a line
slanting upward and that begins be
neath the sunburst are the following
words in golden letters Buffalo Sev
enth Regiment Irish Army of Libera
tion Beneath this is the following
inscription placed on the flag after
the Fenians had returned from Can
ada Ridgeway and Fort Erie June
2 1866 Occupying the center of the
right hand half of the flag is the fol
lowing also in golden letters Pre
sented by the Fenian Sisterhood of
Buffalo May 6 1866 Part of this
lettering is torn the result of a bul
let
The flag was carried to Fort Erie
Ontario with the 900 Fenians who
took part in the invasion After hav
ing driven the Canadian militia near
Ridgeway to retreat and then having
to retreat themselves before a body of
Canadian regulars the Fenians hur
ried back to Fort Erie While trying
to cross the river the Fenians were
arrested by American forces Later
they were released The United States
government authorities returned the
torn flag to the local Fenian organiza
tion Buffalo Express

THE WORLD IS IMPROVING
wwv
How Commercial Bonds Have Knit Closely in the Strongest Ties the
Great Nations of the Earth
easily believe that their own era is a
new era in the world But men with
historical knowledge now see interna
tional conditions that are radically
different and radically better for peace
than any of the battered centuries be
hind us knew The unfettering of the
dominant race of men by free institu
tions to free opportunity on the most
fruitful continent and the industrial
rise of the Republic fortifying its po
litical power have put all nations in
a new relation to one another and in
a new relation to civilization This
revolutionary fact has become plainer
this year than it ever was before Its
far reaching significance we do not
yet see but it looks like a great
force that will work for the steadying
of governments and for the sane di
rection of endeavor for centuries to
come For it is the natural result of
a great law of human development
and not an advantage won by the
strength of armies or by the skill of
diplomatists or by any other power
that may change with a change of rul
ers and of generations The industrial
man becomes stronger the political
man weaker and economic force is
beginning to rule the world as mili
tary force once ruled it
