I felt very weak and exhausted, and It seemed that I could not regain my

My mother bought me a bottle of Peruna. after I had tried several
other much advertised remedies without relief. I had little faith, as I was
very weak, but within a week after I had commenced taking Peruna I
was like a different woman.
"New life and vitality seemed to come each day until In a few weeks
t was In fine health and a happy woman. Thanks to your splendid med

Doctors of Xw York Hospital Closely

Case.
' Tha doctors at Bellevue hospital. New
York, are watching with Interest what is
thought, to be a case of psetido hydropho
bia. At the time of the rahles scare last
summer there was a good deal of discus
sion among doctors concerning the genu
ineness of, such cases. It was stated by
many Authorities that probably most of
them were spurious.
i The case now under observation In Belle
Tue, tho tdottor say,, bears all the ear
' marks, of being genuine. It has been un
.6w observation for nearly a week. The
patient is a girl 19 years old. While her
convulsions are the Indirect result of- a

he was not troubled, but since that time

11-year-old son Max brought Into the
house a dog, but because the neighbors
disliked it and because of Mrs. Thaler's

grew so bad that she was removed to
Bellevue hospital and then transferred to
the asylum at Central Isllp, L. I., where
she died on July 14.
Dora Klapkln- went on about her duties
and was apparently In the best of health
and spirits. Not long ago. however, some
one told her thather aunt really had been
bitten by a dog uhd had died of hydro
phobia and that Dora, having In turn been
bitten by hrr aunt, might suffer from It,
too. The girl is said to have taken .the
remark to heart and to have bought sev
erul books and read much on the subject of
rabies. She became sullen . and grew thin
and listless worrying over the matter.
On Saturday, October 1", she suddenly
fell In a faint on the floor at her home
and when a doctor was called he found her
in convulsions. She was removed to Belle

physicians discovered all the symptoms of
hydrophobia.
Whether or. not the girl can recover the
doctors are unable to say, out they seem
convinced that they have on their hands a
case of a young girl who has simply ter

PROPOSE TO AMEND THE LAW
Appointment to Be Veste la Gr-
eraor Instead of Hoards Coa
trolled by Repahllraa
Officials-Elect.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
MNCOL.N. Nov. 7.-(SpeclaI.) While the
election returns so far reported to the sec
retary of st-ate by the various counties
indicate that the republican state ticket
with the exception of governor has been
elected, there is little consolation In that
for the appointees now holding office by
virtue of a commission from a board.
The democratic legislature has a program,
no It was learned today, which will turn all
these offices over to the democrats. The
legislature will be asked by the leaders of
the winning party to place the appointing
power in the hands of the governor in
place of the haunds of boards as is the
case now In some instances.
Should the democrats be able to carry
this program out the secretary of the
State Board of Charities and Correction,
Joel Piper,' though now appointed by the
governor, the land commissioner and the
state superintendent, will lose his place
even If the republican state ticket wins out.
Two county treasurer examiners are now
appointed by the state auditor. Should the
democratic program carry these appoint
ments will go to Mr. Sliallenberger.
The republican secretary of the state
banking board and the republican state
bank examiners will also go the same
way. They are. now selected by the at
torney general, the auditor and the state
treasurer, vnder the proposed program
they will give way to democrats.
The state banking board may be abolished
entirely when the democrats pass their new
law to force a levy upon the banks to
make up a fund to guarantee deposits.
"There will not be a republican left if
he can be knocked out of office by legtsla
tlve enactment," said a prominent demo
crat this morning. "The legislature will
simply pass a law changing the power of
appointing to the governor or to boards
which the democrats control. We have too
many democrats yelling for Jobs, to let any
tepublican stay in if we can put him. out
I am satisfied the clerk of the Board of
Charities and Correction, the bank exami
ners and the county treasurer examiners
wljl have to go. The legislature will attend
to that the first thing."

Estimates of Expenses.
Thirty departments of the state and state
Institutions have made their estimates of

ported to the state legislature for action
Those reporting show an increase over th
appropriation of two years ago from
I.AI9.61S. to $2,722. 166, or almost tTOO.OCo.
This increase is due to a large extent to
the need or dealre of new buildings.

torium, library, museum, domestic science

CENTRAL, CITY While performing his
duties as night watchman st the mill of
the T. B. Hord Alfalfx Me"l company
Sherman Grubb had an exciting experi
ence with same robbers and as a result
carries a Vlllet wound in his left hmd.
Tho mill and hay shed of the company
are quite extensive, and when Mr. (Irubb
was making his customiry rounoa at about
3 o'clock in the morning, lie tatiii? upon
a couple uf men In the. barn muklng off
with some sacks of cemen'.. Me called
to them to drop their booty aid surren
der, but Instead they started to run. He
fired at the mand they returned his fire,
a bullet striking two of I lie fingers on the
left hand and Inflicting a pilnful, but
not serious wound. The men ker-t on run
ning and mude their getaway. '-. vrubb
went at once to th home of a Mr. Soott,
manager of the mill, nearby, anil had his
wound dressed. Ha then went down and
reported the affair to Deputy Hher'ff Dis
ney. No cdlew to who the rubbers wero
has been discovered, and hence no ar
rests have been made. The cetient which
the men were carrying off when they were
discovered Is worth only about cents a
sack, and It Is hard to conceive how any
body would take risks resulting In a shoot
ing to secure so small a boniy. At first
it was feared that Mr. Grubb might lose
one of his fingers,, but that dinger has
now passed.

The ups and downs ot a business career
in New York were never more strikingly
shown than - in the career of John 13.
Searlea, once "the sugar king of America,"
who dropped dead In London the other
day, at the. ago of m years. He waa the
son of a poor. Itinerant Methodist minis
ter, began to work for ills own living at
the ago of lb and had gained a moderate
fortune by the time he was to. He then
organised a big sugar company, which In
a few years was able to consolidate with
Itself most of its rivals, and afterward.
Mr. Searles formed the gigantic Sugar
trust, with a capitalisation of tH),O,0i.
He was the secretary, treasurer and execu
tive officer of this, but was not content
to confine his energies to its management.
He became. a bank president and a direc
tor In a dosen or more corporations, and
divided his energies to aucb degree that

Mr. Searles was rated at one time to
be worth $20,000,000, and was regarded as
the head of the sugar Interests of Amer
ica. Men were eager to get his name to
aid In promoting other enterprises, and
he embarked in a great number. When
the senate Investigating committee called
him as a witness In regard to Sugar Trust
affairs he refused to answer quest (or. In
relation to campaign contributions, nnd
was tried for contempt of !ourt, but ths
Judge presiding at the trial directed tha
Jury to acquit him. At what seemed th
summit ot his career he retired from the
offices in the American Sugar Refining
company, the corporation formed to re
place the Sugar Trust, to which technical
objections had bt-em made. The announce
ment, created a marked decline in Sugar
stocks, but with the choice of his succes
sor they rallied. It was given out that th-
condition of the health of Mr. Searlea
caused his retirement, but he at once de
voted, himself to other Interests, espectcUr
the American Cotton company. Tha fol
lowing year, however, he waa forced Into
an assignment for the benefit of his credi
tors. In a year Ive was discharged from
bankruptcy and resumed his business re
lations so successfully that he gained an
other fortune before his sudden death oo
curred. t
This was told In Wall street of the cause
of the shrinkage In tho fortune of Mr.
Searles. Before he retired from th Amer
ican Sugar Refining company, in a suddJn
and sharp decline of the stocks It was
said he Inst over ttOO.OCO. He also In
vested largely in a Montana copper mlna,
which he estimated to be worth ftiOO.OOu,
but on which he was unable to realise.
The schedule of his assets and llebllltl'
showed that the former were 3.618.W6 and
th latter t2.196.7K. After he had passed
through bankruptcy with the remnant of
his fortune Mr. Searles, at the age of 2,
began a new business career, and at tha
time of his death was largely interested
In a number cf corporations.
It was regarded as a hit st Mr. Searles
at a meeting over which he presided when
speaker told this story of the reply of
John Bright to one of his admirers of
Lord Beaconsfleld. who sa'd:
"You ought to give him credit for what
he has accomplished, fcr he is a self
made man."
"Yes." replied Mr. Bright; "I know h
Is. and he adores the maker." New York:
