'HERE In a form vt awtlima very prev
alent during the autumn. It some
times enmes on much like , hay
fever, but lasts until the first frost. Tills
form of asthma la likely not to trouble
the patient except In the aiitumn month.
It seems to be dependent upon a 'ca
tarrhal condition of the bronchial tubes
and lungs. '
This catarrhal condition renders the
bronchial tubes very susceptible to Irrita
tions. Inhalations of pollen, or dust cf
any sort, are almost sure to produce a
spasmodic condition of tho smaller bron
chial tubes, which causes difficult break
ing exactly like asthma.
A person with perfectly sound, healthy
mucous membranes of the respiratory or
gans is not liable to such an attack. Only
thope people who have catarrhal Irrita
tion of the mucous membranes have ary
reason to fear this form of asthma.
People subject to asthma In tha fall
hould recognise the cause of their dtH
culty to be catarrh.
Any remedy that " will relieve the ca
tarrhal condition will often avert the
paroxysm of asthma.
Quite a. number of Individuals have
taken I'eruna for this xomlit'-on, and have
found by experience that Pruna does in
vent the recurrence of asthma.
We do not recomm.-nd Feruna lis a
remedy for true as'.uma. I'eruna relieves
only those cases dependent upon catarrh,
aa above dese-.ibed.
ePeruna is rumedy for one dlHea.se only,
and that disease Is catarrh. Hut, as Is
well.nown to the up-to-date physician,
ca'rrb Is capable of producing a variety
4f- .derangements, and this, explains why
It Is Peruna has come to be used for so
many seemingly different Ills.
. Any remedy that relieves catsrrh will
necessarily relieve all of the bodily de
rangements set up by catarrh.
Asthma In Worst Form.
Mrs. W. M. Harp. Ridge Ave., Troy,
Ohio, writes:
"I am going to write to let you know
what Peruna has done for me and also
to let others know.
"I was subject to asthma In Its worst
form Bime four years ago. The least
cold I took would make me sick and I
would cough and almost smother.
My mother Insisted that I should take
Peruna, so I took It with rock candy
added. J ' 1
"When I began taking peruna I was so
run down I only weighed 128 pounds, but
In, one year's time I gained flesh until I
weighed 153 pounds.
"Now; when I or any of my little ones
need a tonic, "We always take Peruna and
It never foils to-do all I wish It to.
"I have often wanted to write you a
word of praise for Peruna, but have never
taken the time before.- I hope nr. nan
man may prosper and Jive long." .
le-ru-na in Tablet Form.
For two years Dr. Hartman and his as
slMtants have incessantly labored to cre
ate Peruna In tablet form, and their stren
uous labors have Just been crowned with
success. People who object to liquid med
Icines can now secure Peruna tablets,
which represent the solid medicinal ingredl
ents of Peruna. Each tablet Is equlva
lent to one average' dose of Peruna.

Borne excitement was caused In the court
room as Williams was being led out by
Deputy Sheriff 8tryker by sounds from the
tiall which sounded like a fight. The crowd
Toured out Of the court room, expecting to
aa a desperate encounter between Btryker
and his prisoner. The strange sounds
were the result of a wrestling match be
tween Btryker and a cuspidor which had
been left In his way. Btryker was handi

HOME FOR YOUNG OFFENDERS-
Vonrteen-Roora Honae on Nortk
Edge of Coemty Farm Proposed,
for Detention.
The nurchase of a fourteen or fifteen
room building that stands-on county.. land.
on the north edge of the county farm Is
Drooosed by County Commissioner Brun
Ina- as a solution of the detention school
problem. About fifteen years ago the
county sold the land to a syndicate that
resold parts of It. Afterward the courts
held the original sale was illegal and the
land reverted to the county. Settlement
was made with all the purchasers, but the
one who constructed this milldlng. The
title to the property Is still In doubt and
Commissioner Brunlng suggests the county
buy the equity of the owner and convert
the building, with some repairs, into a do
tentlon school. The house is Vlthln three
blocks of a car line and is surrounded by
farm land and he believes It would ake
an ideal detention school.

TITLE TO HOME OF THE COUN
Matter to Be Determined in Salt
Filed In tke District
Conrt.
Suit, to clear the 'title ot the old Count
Crelghton home at Twentieth and Chicago
streets was started in district court Sat
urday by John D. Crelghton. The prop
erty was bought by Count Crelghton in
181 and haa been held by him or the John
A. Crelghton Real Estate company an
John u. Crelghton since. Prior to his pur
chase of it there were slight technical er
rors in some of the deeds which threw
cloud on the title. In 1379 the circuit court
of appeals ordered the property sold to
pay some debts against it, tut the records
show no further proceedings . were ever
taken. Title is claimed both by the passing
of deeds and by adverse, open and notori
ous possession of the last twenty-six yars.
Responding to the whlr-whlr-whlr-r-r Of
the little Ivory ball and the calls of hlgh-
Ice-Doker dice in the Manhattan gamming
house at Council Bluffs, Ed O. Parker of
Twer.tyrfourth and Spencer streets lost
the first iviv check he has received In nlno
months, and reported to the police he had
been held up Thursday night and appeared
the station to sign an Information
against 'John Fletcher, a beggar, charg-
ng him with a penitentiary offense. But
Parker had a change of heart Baturaay..
Detectives Pattgllo und Drummy caused
rarker to arrive at the stage known as
conviction,", and he confessed that he
ost J72.25 in" Council Bluffs and told the
old-up; ntory to "squure himself" with
his wife. TM officers required him to
make a written statement to the effect
that he accused Fletcher wrongfully .and
ave them two hard days .work ' for
nothing. ,
Parker Is a tar painter in the Union
Pacific Shops and receives ' a good salary.
For nine months' R., U. Williams of the
company has been drawing ills check and
taking it to Mrs. Parker, because of
Parker's mania for playing his money on
the red and black.
Wine In Ills Mind.
But Thursday Parker got to the auditor's
fflce before Williams did and drew $7?.2ii
ti.en due him. Then he bag&n to see the
Ivory balls In his head drop, on his lucky
numbers. He played roulette in his head
for a while and won every time. Then
he played Klondike and faro and won at
everything. Such luck was unusual and
Parker started to break up the gambling
houses of Council Bluffs. He lasted two
hours and then he sent his wire around a
note, and this la what he wrote , in the
note: "I 'can't get around to pay you off
today; a holdup man won't let me."
Thh -he went , to the police station and
wrote another note. In wiilch he said he
was held up for $73.85, near Twenty-fourth
and Bpencer. by a bold, had man with a
gun.
Friday he positively Identified Fletcher,
who had been caught begging for lft cents
with which to buy breakfast, as the man
who had taken his money.
The story did not look good to Captain
Savage and he detailed Pattullo and
Drummy to look up Parker's record. They
discovered it had come odd every time
Parker bet on the even in the Manhattan
house at Council Bluffs and Baturday they
confronted the complaining witness with
the evidence.
It was then Parker wrote another note,
this time to Captain Bavage. in which he
said: "I make this statement of my own
free will and aocord and without fear of
any personal persecution. I was not held
up, but lost my money In the Manhattan
gambling house at Council Bluffs and told
the police the story to 'square hyseir with
my wjfe.. E. O. Parker."
Officers are undecided what to do with
Parker. His willingness to swear an Inno
cent "man Into the penitentiary, to "square
himself with' his wife," has so completely
disgusted Captain Bavage that It ts a mat
ter of conjecture what the captain will
ask as a punishment for Parker.

GROCERS DISCUSS BOAT LINE
Omaha's Position Looking; to Mlasoarl
River 'Tlnlon is Bearing
Frnlt.
An effort is to be made to create an in
terest in the navigation of the Missouri
river among the people living on the river
north of Kansas City. A plan by which
this might, be accomplished was the main
topic for discussion at the opening meeting
of the Missouri River Wholesale Grocers'
association, held In the Commercial club
rooms in Kansas City Thursday. The as
sociation is composed of Jobbers n the
river between this city and Sioux City.
Twenty-five out of the thirty memoers of
the organisation were In. attendance. W. N.
Todd of Leavenworth,, president, presided.
C. B. Hays of Kansas City, is secretary of
the association.
"Omaha has taken active steps toward
making the river navigable by organising
a boat line." said C. H. Pickens, president
of the Omaha and Missouri River Naviga
tion company. "Although nothing definite
has been done we are fast following in
the foosteps of the boat company here and
soon expect to be operating freight steam
ers on the river betwen Kansas City and
Omaha.
"What we want to do Is to get the peo
ple interested who live along the river, and
we hope to determine on a plan at the
meeting 1 today," he continued. "Already
trips have been made between here and
Omaha and I believe tho river Is naviga
ble between the two cities at present. We
have the Lora, a boat once used here, which
Is now operating on the river.
"We are confronted with a hard proposi
tion at home. The railroads practically own
all the river front and the trouble lies in
the inability to get the freight from the
river to the Jobbers. If we can overcome
this obstacle we should have no trouble in
establishing a route between this city and
uprlver towns.
"The river Is being navigated 1.000 miles
north ot Omaha in a country not touched
by the railroads and what we want to do la
to go north and meet these boats. I also
think that steel barges, which, when leaded,
do not require more than twenty-four
Inches of water, would be an excellent In
vestment and they should prove satisfac
tory. A tug could be used to tow them,
and if the barge went on a sandbar the tug
could pull it off. This would decrease the
boat crew, aa five or six men could oper
ate the tug and a long string of barges.

city. To care for the water which may run
Into the company's ditch, the city engineer
may bo compelled to excavate a ditch east
of tho company's sewer to a point where
the. sewaga can enter an open ditch to the
river. If this Is done, the cost of such ex
cavation will be charged to the sewer fund
and be deducted from payments of the per
son who may later secure the contract for
the work, unless allowance for such re
moval of earth Is made In the bid.
The company will rush work on Its part
of the sewer, which is more difficult than
that to be built by the city, as It will run
directly under tha tracks, and in some
cases, will come within a few feet of the
ties. Arrangements must be made to care
for the tracks during construction, which
will so Increase the cost of the work that
the company may spend 190,000 on the sewer
In its yards.

proval, we payin gthe freight both ways, if it is not fully
satisfactory. Write for prices, full particulars and free cat
alogue. A limited number of time deals will be arranged to ac
