No ono seemed to know where ho had gene or how ho had gotten away from the station. Yesterday ono of the jailors at the county jail came into the station leading young Frazer by the hand. The jailer explained that the boy had been locked up In a cell since September 16. How ho got there no ono seemed to know and the Jailer could not throw any light on the matter. Ho explained ; that no communication had teen received at any tlmo for the boy. The boy had never had a hearing before Judge Gor don , consequently he had not been bound over from the police court. The only ex planation advanced was that he must have gotten mixed up at the police station with a shipment of prisoners bound for the county jail and was taken along with them. The Jailer refuses to longer keep him with out a commitment. Tbo police will now have to dispose of htm In some mannor. ile Is -wonderfully bright little fellow and can sing and dancs In a manner that would make the average minstrel envious.

TRIBUTES TO PE-RU-NA , V Over Thirty Million Catarrh Victims. MK. AND MRS. J. O , ATKINSON , lMhl > LMl-NCl : ! . MO. Mr. John 0. Atkinson , Independence , Mo , In n recent letter to Dr. Hartman , "I feel It my duty to suffering humanity to say good word for I'e-rti-na and Mau-a-lln You will perhaps remember my writing you from Frtrport , 111 , In June , July and August , 1S9C , in reference to my wife's health , who had been suffering from a compli cation of diseases for the past 25 years. "Her case bad battled the skill of eomo of the most noted physicians. Ono of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years' standing. She also suffered with general debility and paroxysms sometimes as often ns Blx or eight times a day. At this tlmo she was passing through that most critical period In the llfo of woman- change ot life. "In June , 1893 , I wrote to you about her case. You advised a course ot Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lln , which we at once commenced , nnd have to say It has completely cured hor. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonderful remedies. "About the same tlmo I wrote you about my own case of catarrh , which was of 25 years' standing , and at times I was almost past going. I commenced using Peru-na according to your Instructions , and continued Us use for about a year , and It has completely cured me. "I have to say that your remedies do all you cliilm for them , and ven more. Ca tarrh can't exist whcrp Pc-ru-na Is taken according to directions. Man-a-lln is n most wonderful medicine for chronic constipation. " Mr. A. F. Stern , Marino City , Mich. , writes : "I was troubled with catarrh for three years , and tried almost every catarrh medicine 11 heard of. I went down to Del- aware.O , to attend college , where I got ono of jour Almanacs a u d dy for catarrh. I saw another reme- was almost dls- Mr. A. F. Stearn. couragcd , ,1 , , try. Ing all kinds of medicine , but my room-mate told me that your medicine was all right , < ind so I tried It. After taking seven bottles according to directions , I was cured nnd felt llko a new man. I recommend It to all who are suffering with this dreadful disease. It Is the best medicine for catarrh. I owe iny health to you. " Mrs. J. A. Boshor , Knoxvllle , Tenn. , writes : "It gives mo much pleasure to recommend to the public such a val uable remedy as Pe-ru-na. M y health was com pletely broken down and bad been for almost a year. I could not rest day or night , but suffered con stantly untold misery. Tried remedy afler remMrs. . J. A. Bashor. edy , but found no relief until Pe-ru-na was recommended to me by a friend. I have ! taken ono and a half bottles nnd am today well and hearty. I shall always praise Pe-ru-na , for I feel It saved my life. " Mr. J. W. Draper , Galnsboro , Tenn. , writes : "For many years I had been a continual sufferer from that dreadful disease , chronic ca tarrh. I gave up hopes of ever being relieved. I tried every remedy my friends recom mended , but all in vain. Finally 1 took my bed. My friends had all glv- , , . en me UP to a' ' . Mr. J. W. Draper bcllcvlng mo to be In the last stages of consumption , Having a bottle of Pe-ru-na In the room , I began to take It , and In a few days felt so well that I got up. I continued It , Improving all the time , until I am now almost .1 sound man. Can do as hard a day's work as almost any man. This hapencd four years ago. " Mrs. Rachel A. Mngaw , C7 West Jefferson street , Springfield , 0. , writes : "Your Peru- na Is worth its weight In gold. I feel llko a now wo man. I can't praise It enough. I spent a great deal o f [ , money In doctors , I but nothing ever did mo any good until I sent to you and tried your Pe ru-na. I now feel well of the catarrh , Mr3 lluchll A. but I shall never > be without Pcru-na , and shall tell all I BCO to try It , for I know It to bo a sure cure for catarrh. I can't praise It enough for what It has done for mo. " Catarrh is an American disease. Fully one-half ot the people are afflicted more or less with It in some form. Previous to the discovery ot Peru-na , catarrh was consld. crcd well-nigh incurable. Since the Introduction of Pe-runa to. the medical profession , thousands ot cases are oured annually. By aid of Dr. Hartraan's free books and free correspondence , a multitude of hopeless people are permanently cured of this most loathsome and stubborn disease every year. Anyone aflllcted with catarrh should write Dr. Hartman , Columbus , 0. Ask tor free books or free advice , which ever you moat need. Ask any druggist for a free Pe-ru-na almanac for the year 1899.
