In common with other grateful ones who have been benefited by your discovery, I say, All hail to Peruna."" Mr. H. J, Henneman, Oukland, Neb. writes: “1 waited before writing to you apont my sickness, catarrh of the stomach, which I] had over a year ago. “There were people who told me it would not stay cured, but I am sure that I am cured, for I do not feel any more ill effects, havea good appetite and am getting fat. “So 1 am, and will say to all, I am cured for good. “I thank you for your kindness, **Peruna will be our house medicine hereafter.” Catarrh of the stomach fs also known in common parlance as dyspepsia, gas- tritis and indigestion.

Over in the Salmon river meadows country in Idaho, ranged a wild and woolly bunch of long-hatred cow punchers, whose knowledge of the world was confined mainly to trips after cattle into surrounding coun- ties. Into this reckless but verdant community there came the smooth- tongued representative of a wild west show, who hired several riders ata high salary to do a hair-raising act, the chief feature being that they should appear tobe thrown from their horses and dragged by the foot. After they had practiced ina cor- tal for & while, one of them loosened himeelf and, rising from the dirt, dis- heveled and dazed, inquired: “Say, mister, ain’t this ruther dangerous? We might git killed.” “That's all right,” chirped the show’s representative, cheerfully. “Your salary will go on just the same.”—Lippincott’s Magaziae.

New London, Conn., Jane —-Edward H. Harriman, the raflroad magnate, was arrested during the Yale-Har- vard boat race for persisting in fol- lowing the racing crews. Mr. Harri- man had been repeatedly warned, but, in his powerful motor boat, ignored the officials of the course, and was finally taken {nto custody by Lieutenant Billard, President Roosevelt’s naval ald, Mr. Harri- man fs Ilable to a heavy fine. Lieutenant Billard, who was in charge of the revenue cutters, had warned every boat owner not to fol- lowthe race, The big 'varatty strug- gle had scarcely been started when Mr. Harriman, {n o powerful motor boat, started to follow the race. Lieutenant Billard and Chairman Schweppe, who were aboard the Regatta Committee boat, the Arrow, repeatedly warned Mr. Harriman to stop his engine and get out of the couree. Mr. Harriman not only patd noat- tention to them, but took a position right alongside the referees’ boatand held {t.

Chairman Schweppe, of the Regatta Committee, was angry, and he shouted to Mr. Harriman in terms that the latter could not mistake. The millionaire levelled his forefinger at Chairman Schweppe and yelled back: “Young man, I will see you later.” Schweppe’s friends aboard the Ar- row gave Mr. Harriman a gentle laugh. Mr. Harriman saw no more of the race, but was detained as any ordinary prisoner aboard the Gres- ham until after the race was over, when Lieutenant Billard went aboard the Gresham and released Mr. Harri- man, but ordered his boat tled up at the navy yard. The incident may cost Mr. Harriman a fine of $500. This was the penalty imposed on a yacht owner at last year’s race for transgressing the rules governing the course, coasToRnra.

Vaughn’s neck was in- above day all the parties willexpress their choice of candidates for elective offices, Including county, state and congressional and those receiving the highest vote will be deemed the party nominees to be voted on at the regular election in November. Thus {t can be seen that this act fixes the first Tuesday in August for the bien- nial primary and does away with conventions or party primaries call- ed at the instance of party commit tees, county, congressional or state. The expenses of this primary are to be paid out of the treasuries of the cities, counties and state, the same as in general elections. The state committee of any party may call a convention of delegates to be determined in any way {¢ seems fit, which convention ehall nominate presidential electors, delegates t> national committees, and adopt a party platform, etc. Untted States Senators will not be voted on at the primary but at the general election in November, and the act provides that no man can vote for a candl- date for senator on one ticket whose name appears offically on another ticket; in other words, a Republican cannot vote for the Democratic can- didate while voting the balance of the Republican ticket and vice versa, It compels a straight party vote and the candidate recelving the highest number of votes for any party, will be deemed the caucus nominee in the legislature of that party. At least sixty days prior to the August primary any candidate for a county office must file his name and address with county clerk, state the office to which he aspires and tho party upon whose ticket he will run. A candidate for atate office must be nominated by at least one per cent of the vote of his party and this one per cent must be distributed over at least six separate counties; such peti- tlons wil! read, ‘I, tho underelgned qualified elector of such and such party, hereby nominate so and so as & candidate for governor, attorney general, etc.’ this one per cent of the vote to be based upon the presiden- tlal electors at the last eleetion. In case of congressmen, two per cent of the voters of the congressional dis- trict must petition for his candidacy and such two per cent must come from at least one-tenth of the coun- tles in such district. Sheriff Faulconer, accompanied by Prosecutlag Attornay Cockrell, Coro- ner Bradley and Constable Brewer, drove to the acene of the affair, the home of Walter Heard, tn the Burtville neighborhood, eleven miles southeast of here. CAUSED BY WHISKY. Warrensburg, Mo., June 20 —The coroner's jury found that Mrs. Eliza- jbesh Hexrd, who was killed at the home of her brother-in-law Walter Heard, Thursday night, came to her death from a wound caused by acuse knife in the Keats of Mrs. Alta Heard. The latter, who fs only 24 years old, has two children, and on this account she was permitted to give ballfor her appearance ut the preliminary hearlog‘ next Tuesday.

Mra. Alta Heard askedjher elster-in law to go home. The latter, who was the larger of the two, followed Mrs. Alta Heard to the house. In the meantime, Alta Heard had taken an oldcase knife from the kitchen. When the quarrel was renewed at the door and Mrs. Elizabeth Heard struck her, she sprang at her with the knife. It is remarkable that the slender wornout blade, with nohandle,should have penetrated so far. It went straight so au artery and the victim died in a tew minutes. The Heard family and nearly all their relations live out in the Bristle Ridge country, @ wild and sparsely settled region. Phe The Charming Woman is not necessarily one of perfect form and features.

Hehasa brother Iivingin this county, and the sheriff, in company with two other men, went to the woods and concealed himeelf near the cabin. The negro came along {na wagon with his brother. Two of thesherifi’s deputies pretended to be hunting squirrels and stopped the negroes, and engaged them in conversation, while the sheriff slipped up and thrust @ revolver in Anderson’s face. The negro reached for his weapon, but the sheriff was too quick, and on the sec- ond command to put both hands up he surrendered and was brought here. He went armed, ready for bat- tle or flight Anderson feels that there is hope for him, but he will not go back with the officers until requisition papers have been received.
