M^Te ALMOST A MIRACLE”
Says Mr. G. M. Hoy In Speaking of the Efficacy
of Pe-ru-na For Catarrh.
Gra*nville M. Hoy, Sheridan, Ind., Is Past Grand, Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, Lodge 661. In a recent letter he says s
«/ suffered for years with fiver complaint, causing me severe
pains and a peculiar weakness across the small of my back, so that
u was hard to stoop, and sometimes very painful to walk about 1
had used so much medicine without deriving any help that I Just let
It go, until a neighbor was cured by Peruna. That led to my using
it, and before I had used tea bottles I was cured. 1 consider it al
most miraculous."—Granville M. Hoy.
CATARRH is liable to attack any
organ of the human body. Many
cases of kidney, liver and bladder dis
eases which baffle the doctor’s skill are
but catarrh of one or both of these
organs. That Peruna Is a cure for suoh
cases the accompanying letters show.
Mr. W. 1.. Butler, 1628 Bellevlew'Ave^
Kansas City, Mo., Secretary and Treas
urer of the O. R. C. of America, writes:
« There Is nothing like Peruna for liver
and bladder trouble. A number of rail
road men have used It when they were
broken down from the constant strain
which they are obliged to undergo, and
were greatly benefited by its use. I
have used it frequently for myself and
family and would not be without it for
the world.”—W. H. Butler. I
Mr. Wm. R. Lewis, 8188 H street, W.
Washington, D. 0., Assistant Steward of
the Metropolitan Club, writes i “ I began
taking Peruna lost summer for stomach
trouble and catarrh of the bladder, and
as It seemed to relieve me some I kept
on taking it for two months and I coni
sidered myself cured. I rejoice that I
gave this medicine a trial.”—Wm. R.
Lewis.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
WTite at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,

MILITARY LAWS MODIFIED
* "v-r
Resolution Passed Calling Upon the
Legislature to Either Abolish or
Change System—Foster and
% Caldwell Enter Protest. y
Tuscaloosa. July 2.—(Special.)—The
board of trustees of the University of
Alabama met yesterday afternoon and
were quite busily engaged throughout the
afternoon and late into the evening. Col.
J. H. Cadwell presided at the meeting on
account of the absence of the governor.
Those present were Col. Henry B. Fos
ter. Col. J. H. Cadwell. Capt. James E.
Webb, Hons. Daniel Pratt and Hubert
Davis of the board, and Messrs. Phares
Coleman, S. A. Wood and Dr. John Lit
tle of the advisory committee, Treasurer
James H. Fitts. Secretary Robinson
Brown ai?d President John W. Aber
crombie.
The death of Col. Martin L. Stansel
was made known to the board by Col.
Henry B. Foster and suitable resolutions
were drafted by Capt. J. E. Webb and
Mr. Pratt, which were adopted by the
board.
judge Thomas w. Coleman or tne
Eutaw was unanimously elected as the
successor of Col. Stans el on the board
of trustees. Almost the* e.*lire afternoon
was taken up in listening to the report of
the new president, Hon. John W. Aber
crombie, who has been Invested with full
power in administering the affairs of the
university. He nominated the entire pres
ent faculty for re-election, which includ
ed the officers and Mrs. Chisolm as ma
tron of the annex.
The department of philosophy and
Phychology which is under the instruc
tion of Professor Forney, he recom
mended to be made a full chair in the
university.
The following additions were made to
the present faculty: Prof. Edwin li. Fos
ter, instructor in English and mathe
matics, and Prof. Malcom C. Burke, in
structor in Latin and mathematics.
Perhaps the one change recommended
by Mr. Abercrombie, which will be
learned with much pleasure by the stu
dents, was that the present military sys
tem be modified and that it be made prin
cipally a department of instruction; that
the drills be tri-weekly and that the bar
racks as military quarters be done away
with and the buildings be used for dor
mitories, and that the restrictions for
those living in the dormitory be arranged.
It was furthermore recommended that
rules and regulations of the university
applicable solely to military discipline be
abolished and that the president be em
powered to make such rules as he should
deem necessary as cii cumstances de
manded. This resolution was adopted.
It was recommended by a special com
mittee that the Legislature of the state
of Alabama be memorialized at Its next
session to pass an act authorizing the
board of trustees of the University of
Alabama to abolish or modify the mili
tary system of government of this insti
tution. Tnis resolution was voted against
by Col. Henry B. Foster and v^ol. J. H.
Cadwell, wrho were granted permission to
spread on the minutes a protest against
the same.
It was suggested by the President that
as the military department was used prin
cipally for physical development, that a
greatly enlarged gymnasium course be
substituted and resolutions by a special
committee were adopted appropriating
$1000 or as much as might be necessary
lor the refurnishing and refitting of the
gymnasium. It was decided to make
monthly payments to the land commis
sioner of his salary and expenses. The
salary of the assistant In English and
mathematics was fixed at $1200. It wax
reported by the committee on education
that as the university had no theological
department It should cease conferring the
degree of Doctor of Divinity, and that
the degree of Doctor of Law's should be
conferred only on those by whom some
remarkable merit had been evidenced.
The president was authorized by the
board to fill any vacancies that might ex
ist in thr fr.culty before the next meet
ing of tY rd, and he was also author
ized to i • commandant's salary at
not to ex i 1200, as under the new or
der the duties of the office w'ould be
much reduced. The board then adjourned
to meet again today.

deploring the exceedingly hot weather.

there is general sorrow.

ing </f the creek over which the bridge
stands that w'as damaged by the fire Mr.
A. E. Baker of this city says he was born

dian word, according to Mr. Baker, and
means "cow path."
