MISS BERTHA FISCHER, OF APPLETON, WIS.
JYliss Bertha Fischer, a popular young woman of Appleton, Wis., writes
of Peruna as follows :
"I have found Peruna a wonderful remedy for catarrh of the respiratory
organs which I had for several months, and which nothing else I tried seemed
to cure.
I have taken a couple of dosec since each week during the winter, and
1 1 find it keeps me from contracting any colds, and my general health has
(been unusually good this entire winter, due I firmly believe to the healtb
I giving qualities of your wonderful remedy."
Yours sincerely, Miss Bertha Fischer.
, Catching cold in the summer is a more
j frequent occurrenc e than is most gren-l-rally
supposed. Winter is generally
(supposed to be the time for colds. But
'cool nights alternating with hot days,
FUdden showers following sultry heat,
profuse perspiration and cooling
draughts, are all peculiar to summer,
which causes a multitude of people to
catch cold.
Mrs. Mary Lawler, of Appleton, Wis.,
was cured of an annoying summer cold
by Peruna. In a recent letter to Dr.
Hartman. she says:
"Last August I caught a summer cold
which settled in the kidneys and caused

Peruna as a last resort and I found it

Summer colds require prompt treat

sometimes dangerous. The promptness
and surety with which Peruna acts in
these cases has saved many lives. A
large dose of Peruna should be taken at
the first appearance of a cold in sum

doses. There is no other remedy that

and quick in Its action as Peruna.
Peruna cures all catarrhal conditions,
whether it be summer catarrh, debility,
weakness or" nervous depression. They
are all caused by catarrh of some part
of the system. Peruna renovates,
strengthens and restores loat vigor to
run-down, tired-out women. There afe
no substitutes. There is no remedy in
existence whose effects are so speedy
and sure.
Mrs. Anna E. Pry, St. Morris, Ill
writes: "I had weakness of the lungs
and pelvic trouble. I also had a bad
cough, had to expectorate a great deal,
and was troubled with a stitching be
tween the shoulders. After taking
Peiuna for a short time I was relieved
of all my pain, and felt better than I
had for two years."
Mrs. Lena Wiley, Swallowfield, Ky.,
writes: "Peruna as a family medicine is
the best in the world. I had catarrh of
the stomach for two years. Did not get
better until I began the use of Peruna.
I took one bottle. That did me so much
good that I got another bottle and felt
like a new person. I can now eat any
thing I want."
Mrs. O. A. Porter, Chalybeate, Miss.,
writes: "I was so ill last winter that I
thought I was near death's door. In
fact, I have been very poorly for years
until about the middle of last April when
my mother came to my house and
brought me a bottle of Peruna. She in
sisted that I should set aside all my
other medicines and take nothing but
Peruna, which I did at once.
"I would not take the world for what
Peruna has done for me. I walked to
my mother's yesterday, which la about
three miles."
Dr. Hartman has written a book es

NEW KING'S ADDRESS.
Victor Emmanuel Will Imitate His
Father ingr Humbert.
Monza, Aug. 4. King Victor Emmanuel
III has addressed the following proclama
tion to the Italian people:
"The second king of Italy is dead.
Kacaping, thanks to his valor as a sol
dier, the danger of battle, and depart
ing unharmed, thanks to Providence,
from the risks he confronted so cour
ageously to end public calaities, the
good and virtuous king fell a victim to
atrocious crime, while with easy con
science and without fear of danger he
was participating in the joys of his peo
ple in their fetes.
"It was not permitted to me to be pres
ent at the last breath of my father, but
I understand my first duty to to) tol
low the counsels he left me and to imi
tate the virtues of the king and first citi
zen of Italy.
"In this moment of profound sadness I
have to aid me the strength which comes
from the examples of my august father
and of the great king who deserves to be
called the 'father of his country.' I have
also as a support the strength which
comes from the love and devotion of the
Italian people for the king whom they
weep for.
"There remain to us the institutions
which he loyally preserved and which he
attempted to render permanent during
the twenty-two years of his reign. These
institutions are given to me as the sacred
traditions of my house, and the warm
love which Italians have for them, pro
tected with a firm and energetic hand
from assault or any violence, from
whatever source it comes, assures
me. I am certain of the prosperity
and grandeur of the country. It was the
glory of my grandfather to have given
Italy its unity and independence; it was
the glory of my father to have Jealously
guarded this unity and this independence
to the end.
"My reitrn shall be outlined by these
imperishable remembrances. May God aid
me and may the love of mv ueoDle for
tify me, so that I may consecrate all mv
cares as a king to the guardianship of
liberty and the defense of the monarchy,
united by indissoluble bonds for the su
preme interest of the country.
"Italians! render you tribute of tears
and honors to the sacred memorv of
Humbert of Savoy! You, in the bitter
sorrow wmen nas struck my house, have
shown that you consider this sorrow as
though it were that of each individual
among you.
"This solidity of thought and affection
will always be the most certain bulwark
of my reign and the best guarantee of
the unity of the country. Such are mv
hopes, such is my ambition as citizen
and as king."
BRYAS'S SPEECH.
It Is Composed of 8,000 Words and
Imperialism Is First Discussed
Lincoln Neb.. Aug. 4. Mr. Bryan has
concluded the writing of his speech to be
made at Indianapolis next Wednesday
in accepting the democratic nomination
for the presidency.
The speech is about 8,000 words in
length. He has adhered to his original
intention of devoting the document al
most entirely to the question of impe
rialism. In following this course he pur
sues the general plan adopted in of
giving especial attention in his notifica
tion speech to the subject made para
mount by the Democratic platform. For
this reason the policy of the government
with reference to the acquisition of for
eign territory will be given the place of
prominence which was alloted to the
financial question in 1SS"?, the other sub
ject being left to be dealt with in the
letter of acceptance, to be given out later.
The remarks upon this subject are based
upon the administration's conduct of af
fairs in the Philippine archipelago.
It is now Mr. Bryan's intention to re
main in Chicafro for several days, pos
sibly a week, after the Indianapolis meet
ing, the entire time to be given to con
ferences with leaders of ail the forces
supporting him.
Vice Chairman Edmiston. of the na
tional Populist committee, today issued
a call to the executive committee of that
party to meet in Chicago on the dav fol
lowing the Indianapolis meeting. Mr. Ed
miston declined to state the purpose of
this matter, but there is little doubt that
its principal object is to confer with
Mr. Bryan and other leaders, possibiy
with a View of deciding what course shall
be pursued with reference to Mr. Towns's
candidacy for the vice presidency.

IN HOTEL C0KR1D0BS.
"So many stories have been told con
cerning Arkansas and the peculiarities
of the inhabitants that it is seldom
a new one is beard," remarked a gen
tleman who had recently returned from
that state while discussing" his trip with
a friend at the National. "However, a
man occasionally meets with a new one
even it he is well posted on stones. A
friend of mine. Pink Rice, of Fort
Scott, who traveled through that coun
try, told me an experience he had on
one of his trips. Rice and another man
left the railroad at a point east of Fort
Smith and started to drive to an in
land town which they were told was
about fifty miles distant. Neither of
the men was acquainted with, the
country and, as is usually the case,
they lost their way. The country was
scarcely settled and it was almost noon
before they saw a farm house to which
they immediately drove for the purpose
or inquiring- the way. To their great
disappointment they found th'j house
deserted, the occupants evidently hav
ing all gone to town, at least that was
the conclusion the travelers came to.
The only thing they could do was, to
keep to the road until they should find
another house or meet some one who
could direct them to their destination.
They soon came to another dwelling,
but found no one at home. This was
the case with all the places they saw,
and they decided that there must be a
fair or circus in some of the towns that
was attracting al the farmers. They
were getting very much discouraged
when, on driving over a hill, their hopes
were raised by the sight of another
house. As they approached they saw
that the yard was filled with people and
that a great many horses were hitched
to the fence and treeB in front of the
house. It was evidently the funeral of
some prominent citizen and the entire
population had gathered to pay their
last tribute of respect. As they drove
up to the house they saw that their
surmises were incorrect. Their curi
osity was aroused, so Mr. Rice alighted
and mixing with the crowd attempted
to see for himself what was the cause
of the meeting. He could discover
nothing" that seemed to him to be un
usual and. after looking around for a
while, asked one of the men what was
the cause of the gathering. The man
grinned at him and said in the peculiar
drawl the natives all have: "Don't you
know, mister?' Rice assured him that
he knew nothing about it, but was anx
ious to learn. 'Well, mister,' the
cracker said, 'Higgins' boy is eighteen
years old today an' Higgins ast us
neighbors to come over and help kitch
him an' put clothes on him."
"We hear a great deal about the large
amount of money that has been given
to charitable institutions of all kinds
during the past few years," said a gen
tleman at the Copeland who has had
some experience in charity work in St.
Louis, "but I believe that the most of
it is handled in a wasteful manner or
at least is not expended in the way in
which it will do most good. I believe
that all charitable institutions should
be under the direction of the city, coun
ty or state. If this was done the people
who are anxious to contribute to char
ity could put their money in the hands
of the proper omcers and a great deal
more good would come of it than does
by building a lot of small hospitals.
Under our present system the destitute
sick are frequently sent from one town
to another, each town simply trying to
shift the burden on to the next with
out any thought of the discomfort or
danger of the sick man. If the money
annually given to charity was properly
handled this would not occur. True we
have county poor farms, but with that
all effort to care for the sick stops in so
far as the city, county or state is con
cerned. There should be three or four
state hospitals for there is not a county
poor farm in Kansas In which the sick
can be or are properly taken care of.
Not only are the conditions bad but
the capacity of the farm is limited. In
larger towns, cities of the first class, the
city should maintain a hospital; not a
two roomed affair, but one large enough
to care for fifty or a hundred patients.
It would pay as an investment because
many people would go there who are
able to pay for their treatment, provid
ing it was a good place and, without
question, it should and would be. A
system could be established whereby
the destitute sick could be properly
cared for without being shipped around
the country until they are taken in at
some free hospital under no one's par
ticular care, and where they will be
turned out before they are half cured
in order to make room for a new patient.
We have become accustomed to look to
the churches to establish hospitals for
the poor. Why not look to the churches
to build insane asylums and peniten
tiaries and maintain them? It would
be just as reasonable. There is not in
Kansas today good free accommodation
in hospitals and poor fawns for one
hundred peoph? I mean places where
they could get even fair treatment and
attention. Our humane officers and so
cieties do all they can but they are
given small means and no authority.
There are more deaths in the state, ten
to one, caused by neglect, than are
caused by whisky, directly or indirectly.
I will venture the statement, without
fear of contradiction, that there are
more than fifty cases of sickness in this
city today that are not receiving proper
care because the patients can not pay
for it. Sudden bursts of charity do little
good; there should be a permanent
establishment for their care because
there will always be many deserving
poor who will need it."
"I saw a pathetic case in Memphis
last week that is in point with what I
have been saying." he continued. "An
aged negro, destitute, decrepit, half
naked and helpless from disease was
found lying by the side of a road by a
policeman who reported the case to the
station. The police captain notified the
hospital authorities who sent the am
bulance out for the man. Upon exam
ination the doctor pronounced the man
in the last stages of consumption, and
the rules of the hospital forbade his
being taken In, so- the ambulance drove
away and left him. For five or six
hours the old negro remained there
alone and neglected. The police captain.
learning that he had been left, sent out
and had him taken to the station. They
did not have proper accommodations,
but it was better than leaving the poor
old fellow lying on the ground and
they did the best they could to make
him comfortable. No hospital in the
city would receive him and I do not
know how he was finally cared for. The
police can tell you of many such in
stances in any city because they are
applied to almost daily for aid. How
ever, it is not this class, strange pau
pers, who would receive the most bene
fit from the municipal or state hospital,
it is the people who live in your own
city whom you meet every day; men
who live by the day's labor and when
sickness comes have no money to buy
necessaries or to pay for proper medical
aid."
Good Medicine For Children.
"Through the months of June and July
our baby was teething and took a run
ning off of the bowels and sickness of the
stomach," says O. P. M. Holliday, of
Deming, Ind. "His bowels would move
from five to eight times a day. I had a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedv in the house and
gave him four drops "in a teaspoonful of
water and he got better at once." Sold
by all druggists.
GOVERNOR'S RELATIVE.
Insane Woman Who Thinks
She is Mr. Stanley's
SIster-in-Law.
A woman who is evidently demented
was found by Officer Parcels Friday
evening about 8 o'clock picking sun
flowers in a patch near the Standard
Oil company tanks. She was taken to
the station and kept over night and this
mornina was removed to the county
Jail. She is a good looking woman,
well dressed, except for the large num
ber of beads she wears, and is intelli
gent. She gave her name as Jennie
Wright and said that her father lived
near Wichita, and that she is a sister-in-law
of Governor Stanley. This
morning she told Mrs. Thorpe that she
had been adjudged insane in Denver,
but could not give any rational account
of herself since then. She came here
from McFarland, she said, because peo
ple there considered her odd, and she
noticed that the people here seemed to
have the same impression. "All I want
is to be left alone; I don't enjoy talk
ing to people," was about the burden
of her talk.
The authorities are doing all they can
to learn who she is and where she
came from. She had money and Judg
ing from her appearance and language,
belongs to the better class of people.
Mrs. Stanley has no sisters, bo it Is
evident that the woman is under an
hallucination.

MEETING POSTPONED.

meeting of the Association of Kansas
Dailies In this city, but only four members
were present at the appointed hour of the

the meeting would be postponed and called
at a later date. He said the membership
was gradually increasing.
The objects of the association are well
stated in the call for the meeting, as fol
lows; "The success of the Kansas Associated
Dallies is up to you. If you can not taka
enough interest in this organization to
attend its meetings, you can not expect
others to work for you. This organiza
tion is to advance our interests; its suc
cess means dollars in the pockets of every
newspaper man in Kansas, big and little.
Kansas is today practically without news
paper legislation, and never will have any
if we do not work together for it."
