r QO Uce Peruna for Catarrhal Derangements. The tax on Corporatlons'Fails to fleet Cost of Collection. Mrs. 0. H. Bock) 2923 Douglas street, Omaha, Neb, write i 1 " have used Peruna and can cheerfully recommend N as being the best remedy tor catarrh and geniral debility that I have ever used." Yours gratefully, Mrs. C H. Buck. Peruna is applicable to catarrh of any mucous surface of the body in all Stages. From tho slightest catarrhal attack or cold to tho most ehronio or pronounced case of hypertrophic form Poruna is a specific. Mon and women are subject to car tarrh. Women arooven more subject to catarrh than men. This is due to many causes. The ohlof cause is the delicacy of her organism, as compared to man. The extreme sensitiveness of the mn cous lining of every organ of a woman's body is well known to physicians. This explains why, In part at least, so few women are entirely free from catarrh. A vast multitude of women have found Peruna an Indlapensible remedy MIm Lillian Roenheld, a graduate from the Conservatory of Music, Paris, la the violin soloist of the Chicago Oei mania Club. Miss Boenheld used Pent1 na as tonic, when ran down by over work. She speaks of it in the following glowing terms: Chicaqo, III. The Peruna Medicine Co, Columbus, O.I Oentlemen "I cannot give too great praise to Peruna. - Last winter my ner vous system became so overtaxed from constant overwork with my violin that my right side seemed partially para lyzed. " I naturally became very anxious and consulted my physician. After giving me a couple of prescriptions without affect, he advised me to try Peruna, and lam glad to say it effected a speedy and permanont cure. "Although the past year has been a severe tax on me Peruna has kept me strong and vigor ous." Yours truly, Lillian Roenheld. "Health and Beauty, " a book treating on diseases peculiar to women, sent free to any address by Dr. tiartman, Columbus, Ohio. Miss Helen Murphy, a popular society woman of Oehkosh, Wis, is an ardent friend to Peruna. The following is a letter written by Miss Murphy, and gives her opinion of Peruna as a pre ventive as well as cure for catarrhal ailmontst Obhkobh, Wis. The Poruna MediclneCo,Columbus,0.: Oentlemen" About three months ago I contracted a severe cold at an evening reception, whioh settled on my lungB and threatened to be very serious. As my mother has used Peruna with good results, she sent for a bottle for me and I found that It gave me blessed relief. Before tho second bottle was consumod I was well. "We keep a bottle of It on hand all the time and when I have been out In Inclement weather, I take a dose or two of Peruna and It pre vents my taking any cold and keeps me perfectly well." Yours very truly, Helen Murphy. THE MARKETS. m - . Sells the Best Goods For the LEAST MONflY.

Condition er State Guard. Vseef Mowing Machines. Cottoa Farmers Badly off. . Bauhqb, November 2. In the course of an Interview with an official of the State Treasury he said there would be but little Increase In the State's receipts from taxes this year under the now law, Imposing anew tax on corporations. Looking over the books he found that the receipts, from lhls new tax have so far been only $7,500. Oreat results had been expected from this tax. It falls to meet the expectations. The chairman of the corporation com- mlsxlon says there will In the aggregate be a considerable Increase In the State's Income. . He Is now making a calcula tion and says the result will In a few days be made public. The Slate charters the Oharlotte Pipe end Foundry Company, capital 910,000; W. F. Dowd and others are sTockhold- e s. The competition here by buyers of cot ton seed Is the most active ever known. Charlotte has buyers and has a mill at soother point. The manager of the lo cal mill says the receipts of seed so far are good; larger than Jjpd been expected. Tour correspondent had a special In terview with Inspector General Bain of the Stato Guard. Col. Bain, when asked as to the condition of the Guard said, "The force Ib not In good shape, yet it is In bettor shape than ever before. The encampments last summer were certain ly the most successful, both as to drill and discipline of all ever held. There Is wide room for improvement of the Guard. As to suggestions looking to this end there ought to be an appropriation to pay the men for duty in camp. There ought also to be a chango as to the elec tion of officers. These ought to stay In service as long as competent. The quent changes are damaging. Then enlisted men ought to be required, save for the very best reasons, to serve out their three years term. I find that now the average time served Is only about 16 mouths, In fact the majority remain only about that time. The discipline is very poor. It ought to be far more rigid. I have nearly completed the inspections In a fortnight they will be completed." The sheriff of this county is a farmer and an observant one. He says that he finds that more mowing machines have been sold herd this year than In the years previous. The buyers are using them largely to cut grass for persons In their neighborhood. In this way he says the hay crop will be very large one here. Claude Barbae, a well known cotton buyer here says that a great many fann ers abandoned their crops last spring and In the early summer, after the great and nearly steady rains. He says the condition of those farmers who have gone In debt for their supplies Is deplors ble; thaflie cannot recollect when they were in such a bad shape as at present Their ability to pay Is less than ever be fore. Many of this class of farmers are very despondent. They regard this as by far the worst year since 1867. Assistant State librarian Marshal De Lancey Hay wood, will soon publish a life of Gov.

The repairs to the wall, towers and palace have been al most completed. A temporary structure of wood and cloth has been erected In place of the destroyed Chiennen tower under which Emperor Kwang Su will pass wheawenterlng the Forbidden City. It Is painted to resemble the old stone tower, with cannon in the windows, and looks like a piece of theatrical scenery. Every effort Is being made to conceal from the court the evidence of conquest The British looped the wall at the sta tion outsldo Chiennen gale, and the Chinese are now building another wall outside this to screen It from the view of the court. Modern Surgery Surpassed While suffering from a bad caia of piles I consulted a physician who ad vised me to try a box of De Wilt's Witch Hazel Salve," says G. F. Carter, Atlanta Ga. "I procured a box and was entirely cored. DeWltt's Witch Hazel Salve is a splendid cure for piles, giving relief In stantly, and I heartily recommend It to all sufferers." Surgery Is unnecessary to cute piles. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure any case. Cuts, burns, bruises and all other wounds are also quickly cured by It. Beware of coun terfeits. F. S. Duffy. End of the Fair. Bo palo, November 1. The Pan American Exposition, with Its entrant log memories, Its artistic success and its financial failure, la closed. When the gates were bolted for the final lime tonight the attendance record showed a total of about 8,250,000. That mews that at least 8,000,000 persons have seen and repeatedly seen the glories of the Rainbow City. This exposition now occupies a pecu liar position in exposition history. It Is at once the greatest success and the greatest failure that America has made. Financially, It Is said, the loss will be nearly 94,000,000 directly to the institu tion and also a collateral loss of several millions more. This (s fully 60 per cent of the amount expended. The stock holders will be paid nothing and the bondholders will receive only about 76 per cent, of thefr Investment. Even in Chicago, which fair has held the recor d f or financial embarrassment, the stock holders were reimbursed with 18 per oent. At Omaha they received 00 per oent. - ''m Elac to WeiL-;.:-;;.
