Auditor Cornell has rejected the claims
of Robert W Furnas for tbo unused State
fair appropriations for the years 1S98 and
1899. Mr. Furnas , acting as secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture- , sought to
obtain this money , amounting to $4,000 , to
npply on the indebtedness of the associa
tion. Deputy Attorney Goncial Oldham

ion this nfternoon , holding that the money
appropriated by the legislature could be
drawn from the treasury only for premiums
offered nnd paid by tha Board of Agricul
ture. As the board has held no fairs for
the last two years the money will there
fore remain In the treasury , The indebt
edness of the association is something llko
fiG.OOO and It was thought that the appro
priation might bo applied on unpaid pre
miums of previous years , The vouchers
filed by Mr. Furnas are ns follows :

The Remarkable Experience of a Philadelphia
Architect With This iSalatlv.
Hny fever Is really ncuto catarrh excited
by minute emanations frutn lortnln grasses ,
flowering plants , fungi or dried vegetable
substances. It IB ver.v sudden in Its onset ,
nnd , without proper treatment , continues
until the season changes or the patient goes
to some favorable locnlllj. It hns nil the
sjmptoms of ncutu catnrrb bneerlng ,
nbundnut exudations of mucous , and thick
ened , reddened mucous membranes , some
times exciting spasmodic asthma.
Mr. J. N'aschold.
Mr. ' J Naschold , 426 West Mfe Pleasant
Ave , Philadelphia , Pa , recommends Pe-ru-
na for hay fever or endemic catarrh ( hay
fever ) . He wrlteo
"I have used your treatment for catarrh
of the head , none nnd throat , ns vou dlag-
j nosed it nnd hnvo tnl.cn four bottles of
le-runa whlih did accomplish nil the

felt tr itly better , but wns as the case
stnnds now , cured , for evtiry jenr for those
threp jenrs the nttnil.n relumed nlxnit the
middle of August nnd Insted until liccumbor
| HurliiE the critical month of SoMcmber 1
i have hnd only n slight nttack ef lm > fever
i or catarrh , which 1 get rid of bv taking
I about three-fourths of a Nntlp of Pe-ru-ru ,
while , for Instance , the mituinii of ' 97 , dur
ing which time 1 had onlv fodrofs to the
1 remedies then Known to me I suffered for
| inontliH 1 hnvo been entirely free from en-
tarrh this autumn with the exception of the
nbovo mentioned time.
I J Xnschold.
| Pe-ru-na Is n Riwclflc for liny fever and
, should bo taken during the whole senson
of the exposure to the cause ; for ns long
j ns the exciting cause remains , no cure cnn
bo permanent. People who nro unable to
chnngo their location during the season of
hny fovcr will nnd In
Pc-ru-nn n priceless
benefit to them , ns It me < its every dlsngrco-
nblo djmptam cxnctlj. It Is alwajs ndvis-
nble to begin the use of Pe-ru-na n week or
two before the expected attack of hay fever
In old cases , where the attack cnn bo fore
told , as this will often prevent entirely the
return of the disease. Address Dr. Hartman -
man , Columbus , Ohio for a free book.
The mlcrobfu that cause chills and fever and malaria enter the system
through mucous membranes made porous by catarrh. Pe-TU-na heals the mu
cous membranes and prevents the entrance of malarial germs , thus preventing and
curing then affections.
