Treat Catarrh In Spring;.
The spring Is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna
Is taken during tho early spring mouths
the cure will lie prompt and permanent.
Thero ran to no failures if IV run a is
taken intelligently during the favorable
weather of spring.
As a systemla catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever It may be located. It cures
catarrh of the stomach or towel with
the samecertalnty as catarrh of the head.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write atone, to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of yonr caa. and he will

Anti-Alcohol Congress.
Bremen, April 18. At to-day's
session of the International Anti
Alcohol Congress Mrs. Mary H.
Hunt, of the Womans' Christian
Temperance Union, Hoston,
Mass., delivered an address on
the significance of scientific tern
perance instruction in public
schools as a preventative of al
coholism. She said in part:
"Temperance physiology has
been very generally taught for
ten or fifteen years and it is sip;
nificant that during this time the
rate of increase in the per capita
consumption of alcoholic liquors
has diminished materially; also
that there has been a pain of four
and one-tenth years in the aver
age length of life. Thorough in
vestigation in the most populous
state, New York, shows that the
study is restraining children from
forming alcoholic and other nar
cotic habits and influencing their
parents against alcohol and to
bacco. "The teachings that have se
cured these gratifying results
are:
"First, the nature of alcohol
and its effects upon the human
economy; and
Second, the physiological reas
ons for obeying all laws of health,
since unhygienic habits often
cause a craving for narcotics.
"Careful grading shows that
the subject can be adequately
covered by a minimum of threo
moral lessons per week for ten
weeks in each primary year, and
four text book lessons per week
for ton weeks in each of tho five
grammar years and the first year
of the high school. Thus with
830 lessons, a progressive devel
opment is attained without crowd
ing other branches, during years
in which the formation of habits
is especially active.
"Objection is sometimes made
to scientific temiierance instruc
on the ground that by injuring
the brewing traffic it will decrease
the national revenue. Figures
show, however, that every dollar
of tax on fermented and distilled
liquor paid into the national
treasury costs thirty dollars in
the cost of consequent crime and
poverty. The same is doubtless
true in other countries."

A Haunted Locomotive.
The Graphic does not vouch
for the story to the effect that
the Nash County Lumber Com
pany owns a logging locomotive
whose conduct "startles the na
tives." The engine in question,
it is said, has a peculiar way of
awakening the neighborhood at
all hours of the night by the dep
roar of its whistle, and wh u
there is no one near it. It is said
that even when there is no steam
in the boiler tho whistle has been
heard to belch forth its fury,
awakening people for miles
around. No negro in- that com
cuonity can be Induced to go near
It titer nightfall. There i a
i'gii(J oonnQCted with this loco
motive to the effect that years
ago, pi lor to its purchase by the
Nush County Lumber Company,
there wi s wreck wherein tho
"hgincei , who was much attached
to his iion steed, lost his life.
Since that time an evil spirit
seems to have iosscssed it, and
many unaccountable incidents
have characterized its workings.
It is a powerful structure and of
a late typo and is engaged in ac
live service each day in supply
ingthn mill witli logs. Its deep
sounding whistle can be heard
fur miles and this story connected
with it, while discredited by a
majority, is believed to be truo
by many. Nashville 0 rapine.
WATER.
Look at that, ye thirsty ones
of Larth; behold it! beo its pu
rity; how it glitters, as if a mass
of liquid gems! It is a beverage
that was brewed by tho hand of
tho Almighty himself not in
simmering still or smoking hres,
choked with jKiisonous gasses
und surrounded by the stenches
of sickening odors and rank cor
million, dot's our Father in
Heaven prepare the precious
essence of life in tlio pure cold
water; but in the green glade and
grassy dell where tho red deer
wanders and tho child loves to
play; there God brews it; and
down in deepest valleys where
the fountains murmur and the
rills sin,";; and high upon tho tall
mountain tons where the storm
clouds brood and the thunders
crash; and away far out on the
wide sea where the hurricano
howls music, and tho big waves
roll the chorus, sweeping tho
march of God thero He brews
it that beverage of life health
giving water and everywhere
itisa thingof beauty. Glimmer
ing in the drops, singing in the
summer rain, shining in the ice
gem, till the trees all seem turn
ed into living jewels, spreading
a golden veil over the setting sun,
or a white gauze around the mid
night moon, siiorting in the gla
ciers, dancing in the hail show
ers, folding its bright curtain
softly about tho wintry world,
and weaving tho many colored
iri.s, that seraph's zone of tho
sky. whose warp is tho rain drops
of earth, whose woof is the sun-
benm of heaven; all checkered
over with tho celestial flowers
by the mystic had of reflection,
still always it is beautiful, that
blessed life water. No poison
bubbles on the brink, its foam
brings no sadness or murders.

An Ingenious Merchant.
Recently a wealthy merchant
in Paris, who does an extensive
business in Japan, was informed
that a prominent firm in Yoko
hama had failed, but the name of
the firm he could not learn. He
could have learned the truth by
calling, but, to save expense, he
went to a well knowu banker,
who had received the news, and
requested him to reveal tho name
of the firm.
"That's a very delicate thing
to do," replied the banker, "for
the news is not official, and if I
give you the name I might incur
somo responsibility."
The merchant argued, but in
vain, and finally he made this
iroposition : "1 will give you,"
le said, "a list of ten firms in
Yokohama, and I will ask you to
look through it and then to tell
me, without mentioning any
name, whether or not the name
of the firm which has failed ap
pears in it. Surely you will do
that for mo r
"Yes," said tho banker, "for if
I do not mention any name I can
not bo held responsible in any
way."
Iho list was made, the banker
looked through it, and, as he
handed it back to the merchant,
said :
"The name of tho merchant
who has failed is there."
"Then I've lost heavily," re-
pliod the merchant ; "for that is
tho firm with which I did busi
ness," showing him a name on
tho list
"But how do you know that is
the firm which has failed r" asked
the banker, in surprise.
" V ery easily, replied the mer
chant. "Of the ten names on the
list only one is genuine that of
tho firm with which I did busi
ness ; all the others aro fictitious."

Girl Tries to Kill Herself.
Bonnie May Jones, the four
teen-year-old girl who ran away
from Asheville last November
with Mario Kuykendall and thoro
by created a sensation, attempted
to commit suicide Friday. She
swallowed about two ounces of
laudanum, but will recover. The
causo of the girl's action is at
tributed to the arrest of two ne
gro women Thursday on tho
charge of forgery. Tho two wo
men had presented forged checks
at tho Battery Park and when
apprehended said that Bonnio
Jones had forced D. G. Noland a
namo and asked them to get tho
money at the bank. Tho news of
their arrest and that she also was
to be arrested reached the girl
and tho attempt at suicide fol
lowed shortly afterward.'
Bonnie May Jones has lived a
strenous life during the past few
months. When sho and the
Kuykendall girl ran away lost
year, it was said they disapjieared
on tho same day that two veiled
women passed a check bearing
the signature of Prof. Joseph on
Ticket Agent Byron Luther at
Biltmore and thero wero all sorts
of rumors about the girls being
inveighed away by members of a
show that had shortly before that
time been in Asheville.
Wide Tires.
The necessity for the osa of wide
ires ii recognized in (bote com
inanities that hive once nsed them
In many of our States laws exist
compelling tboir nee on the nnbhc
roads, but in the absence of such
legislation in our own State, a
practical good miifbt be accomplish
ed by a few of the leadii g citizens
in each community adopting wide
tires for wagons npon which heavy
loads ere hauled. The use of ve
hicle thus equipped would neces
sarily attract tli attention of all
pernor e ongtged in haali. g su.d if
the wide tiiP- imd iLc red ir.crii
claimed by tlie'r sdv et-, it wcnld
not be lor-ir In ' re they might c ine
into general ueo.
In foreign countries tho eut j-ct
of wide tires hus received coneider
able attention at.d from the consular
n ports the following is gathered as
to the neai;e there :
Austria Tiresfour and one-third
inches for load of two and one
fourth tons, nd six and one-fourth
inches for loads of four and one-half
tone or over.
France Usual wid'.h of tires four
to six inches, with the rear axle
twelve to fourteen inches longer
than the fore.
Germany For heavy loads a
width of at least four inches.
Switzerland A width of one inch
for each draft animal, and for heavy
loads rot less than six inches.
Most of the States in this country,
and ninny foreign countries, pre
scribe conditions of widths to loads
hauled on the general principle that
wide tiies contribute in no small de
gree to the proper maintenance of
the highway.
If 1 were called on for aeuggestion
in regurd to the matter, I would
suggest that all rolling stock having
tires of foor inches in width or over
need on the public highways be
exempt from taxation. Prof. J. A.

Dropped Dead in a Hotel.
A dispatch of last Monday from
Statesville to the Charlotte Observer
sats: Mr. E. L Cook, of Ilildo
brsnd, Catawba county, died very
suddenly in the ofhue of Hotel Iro
dell this afternoon about 2 o'clock
Mr. Cook was here in attendance on
tho Federal C urt, now in session,
and was a pparcutly in perfect health
a few m intents before his death.
Ilo had only a moment bofore in
qnirod of Mr. Murphy, th clerk at
tno hotel, r r Mr. I nomas n. Itollins,
who was his attorney, lie turned
and started toward tho front of tho
ollico, got near tho center of the
room, when he suddouly fell to the
II or, gasped once or twice and life
was extinct. The oflice was crowded
at the time and parlies present at
once applied themselves to the
ordinary methods of rubbing to re
store him, and Mr. E. O. Gilmer,
tho proprietor of the hotel, hurriedly
dispatched a message for a tbym
ciau, but when Dr. T. E. Anderson,
the first to respond, reached him,
Mr. Cook had been dead several
minulos. Heart failure was the
cause of his death. Mr. Gilmer had
everything done that was possible,
but all to no avail. In a short while
after death tho proprietor of the
hotel had the body removed to the
undertaking rooms of li. A. Critcher
it Co. and prepared for burial Rnd
it will bo forwarded on the 'J.M
train to-night to the home of the
doceabjd for interment. Mr. Cook
was a merchant at llildobrand, and
a man who stood well in the com
munity. He had lately been a store
keeper and ganger at tho distillery
of A. H. Flanigao, in Catawba
county, and was the defendant in an
indictment which charged tint while
acting in the capacity of such office
permitted the removal of whiskey
from the warehouse without the
payment of tax. Parties who know
M r. Co k well think that worry and
exitoraent over this charge prob
ably caused his sudden death, or at
iiet superinduced it. Tho deceased
Wis about 45 years of age and
leaves a family of soven children,
two of whom are married.

to rise up and change the manner

not the men the people want not
the men they should have forced on
them by political politicians and po
