The greatest diM. {eulty In the way of treating chronie | catarrh Is that the patient is so lable to catch cold during the treatment and thus delay a cure, This liabllity at this season of the year s, in a great measure, removed, and no one should neglect the opportunity to | take treatment, 1‘ Peruna 18 acknowledged by every one | to be the only reliable and unfalling | bure of catarrh wherever it may be | located, When you take Peruna you are | not experfmenting with an unknown | remedy, ’huwyduud exoltement many of them were not notice | 1 waw one man save the lives of {wa women | who wore fastensd in thelr berths In the tour 18t oar.

Statement by Kruttschnitt, HAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 8.—1. H, Harriman, president of the Southern Pa- | cifie, could not be seen to-night concern- ing the Maxon wreck. Julius Krutt- schnitt, vice president and general man- fllfi“ of the road, spoke for Harriman and made the following statement: We have given you everything we have re- ceived cnncemlna the accldent, The place Where It occurred Is on a nine degree curve. |If the train was derailed from high speed it would have jumped on the outside rail. An examination shows the derallment to have been on the inside rail. The place where the de- railment occurred was recently laid with elghty-pound_steel; the track is newly re- tied; It is rock ballasted and every tie s cquipped with a steel tie plate. The roadbed at this point is the most perfect on the line of the road. T, F. Ryan, vice president of the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad, who was in a private car on the train, wired to Mr. Harriman concerning the accident, this being quoted from his message: *'It Is my opinion the engineer 1s not to blame. I be- licve that an investigation Will prove that some part of the engine broke. I base my opinion on & personal examination of the ties of the outside rall on the side the train went oft." fllvery employe of the train who ean throw any light on the accident will be thoroughly cross-questionéd.
