He writes as follows: “For nearly a dozen years catarrh has bothered me in one form or another. I was troubled with nasal catarrh, that had affected my stomach, which troub- led me most in the morning. My appe- tite was poor, and I did not seem to relish my food, Indigestion bothered me at times also, “I was advised to take Peruna, and I took it as prescribed for a month, when my cure was almost complete. Today there is not a trace of catarrh in my system, and I can say without hesitation that Peruna cured me." Agreeable and Effective Tonic. Corporal John Finn, Washington, D. C., veteran soldier ef the Civil War, a prominent Grand Army man and com- mander of the oldest post in the United States, John A. Rawlins Post No, 1, de- partment of the’ Potomac, Grand Army of the Republic, writes: “Peruna was recommended to me by many of my ascociates, and I have given it a fair trial.

The fire started Tuesday. All day Wednesday 4 50-mile wind blew and the blaza swept across the prairie with tremendous speed. embers were carried ten miles in ad- vance of the flames in places. The sky was so black with smoke that ranchmen were unable to find or the fire until the blaze was upon, them. ‘ As rapidly as possible ranchers ~ _ plowed safety furrows around their buildings, but {0 many cases the \ flames reached them before the plow- ' ing was completed.

April 6 —While tn | Des Moins W. J. Bryan put a quietus on the speculation as to whether the New York National Democratic Club had intended that he should speak ‘or maintain a discreet silence at the banquet to be given there April 13 by wiring a withdrawal of his accept- ance of the invitation to attend. In view of the discuesion which had arisen as to whether the invitation was to make a speech or merely to |be present, Mr. Bryan said that he felt 1t would be embarraesing both | to the club and to himeelf to be pres- | | ent in either capacity. | To be present he would run the risk of being called upon for an ex- temporaneous speech and to refuse} orto accept would be allke subjectto criticism, and the easiest solution | was not to be present at all. | Governor Haskell, of Uklahoma, divided honors with Bryan in the seven epeeches and at the banquet. He arrived with a large party of Oklahomans, including State Treas- urer J. A. Menifee and NationalCom mitteeman Tate Brady. Bandits Loot Bank of $6,400.

Adrian Journal. Hugh Thomas, who lived on the Redford farm, 24) miles southwest of Adrian, was found dead Tuesday evening by his three little boys, with whom he lived alone, the mother having died a year ago, Thomas was plowing with a team of young mules and a horse. When the boys found him about six o'clock {n the evening, he was lying with one leg over the double tree and the other under plow beam. The little fellows were shocked and began to scream, this frightened the team, which had been standing still, and it etarted to run, The body was dragged some distance and turned around, one arm was badly cut by the plow. Netghbors were notified and hurried to the seone to render all possible aid. Dr. Bates was called and found that Thomas’ neck was broken. Coroner Lusk came up Wednesday morning and held an tnquest with the following persons as jurore: I. I. Prine, R. P. Harper, Joe Feraris, George Wright, J. E. Crowder and G. A. Ibbotson. An autopsy devel- oped the fact that his back was broken, The jury returned a verdict to the effect thét death resulted from injur- fea inflicted by the team. It te thought that some of the In- juries were caused by the team run- ning after Thomas was dead. From the frregular depth of the last furrow he plowed the plow was evidently out of adjustment, and it {a thought that Thomas was adjust- ing the nlew when one of the mules kicked him. He had probably been dead an hour | when his body was found as parties heard him talking to his team at 5 o'clock. Thomas lost his wife and a childa yearago leaving him with three boys 7,9 and 11 years old. He kept the, boys together, doing his own cook- ing and farm work. He was an hon- orable gentleman and good citizen. All who knew him recognized him as being worthy their highest esteem. The orphan boys have our deepest sympathy in their bereavement. Only those who have been left alone in the world at a tender age can sympathize with them. Funeral services were held from the Dunkard church Wednesday, after- noon, conducted by Elder Geo. Lentz. Mr. Thomas was 42 years old. He carried $3,000 life insurance. Mr. Bryan Won't Have It. New York, April.—An attempt to hold a rival ban juet to that to be given by the National Democratic Club on Jefferson’s birthday was promptly equelched by Bryan him- self. In the zealousness to have Bryan be the principal speaker at a celebra- tion on that day, some of his friends proposed adinner asafoil to the Democratie Club banquet. Harry H. Hughes, of Springfield, Mo., handed to Harry W. Walker, who is general- ly regarded as Mr. Bryan’s represen- tative here, a check for $1,000+o help along the movement, and an option on the Waldorf-Astoria grand ballroom was obtained. Walker notified Bryan of their in- tention, and recelved a dispatch from Lincoln, reading; “Telegram just received. Iam very much embarrassed by your action. Please do nothing regarding myself without firat submitting matters to me. Would not consider a rival banquet. Constant publicity very unfortunate. W. J.

FARMER KILLED, Should Fear Bryan. The New York Evening Post (rep) warns the republicans that Bryan will be a hard man to defeat. It saye: “That Mr. Bryan will be she demo- cratic candidate for the presidency this year if he chooses to be, may now be ses down as among the po- litical certainties. And those repub Hean managers are living {n a fool's paradise who think that {t will bea holiday task to beat him. The forces which make Mr. Bryan's can- didacy formidable are not hidden. He has a vast and {dolizing personal following. Its vote can be transter- red to no other, Asa campaigner he has inexhaus- {ble physical energy and endless re- sources of agitation. And on what willing ears his appeals would fal! in present circumstances! “Are the republicans not aware how he could retor’ all their own fa- terrifle force? The republican plat- form of 1896 could be read as an {n- dictment of the republican party of 1908. All the dire consequences of misgovernment herein ses forth are now swarndng home to condemn re- vorite arguments upon them with|’ publican policies A panic has come under republican rule. Bustness has suffered deep hurt; mills have shut down; thousands of men are out of work; the unemployed throng the citles; the resources of charity are strained to provide for those {n want by no fault of their own. “Does any republican leader in his senses doubt that Mr. Bryan could make great play with these undenta- ble facts? Bearing in mind his ex- traordinary gifts as an agitator and remembering how invariably the par- ty In power loses popular support when depression overtakes induatry and cripples enterprise, no one but a eould deny that the coming cam- paign will test his party to the ut- most. that any good republican can beat for the presidency, would be over- whelmed by him.” No Time For the People. It will be remembered that in March, 1907, the democrats in the senate killed she ship subsidy bill, which had passed the house by repub- Hean votes. Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, led in the fillbuster which resulted in the defeat of this iniguis- ous measure. Now the republican senate has passed a ship substdy bill and the measure goes to the house It seems that the republican party has ample time to pass mensures de- manded by the financlers, such as the Aldrich bill, and measures de- manded by the subsidy grabbers, such as the shipping bill. the people demand tariff revision and /other important reforms they | are expected to be satisfied with the assurance that if they will again troet the republican party with pow- er they may have such tariff revielon asthe “friends of the tarifi’ shink the people are entitled tc—after the | presidential election.
