IE OLD FOLKS AT HOME
' ,‘t Never Without Peruna in the House
- for Catarrhal Diseases.
w
D. WATSON,
Clovis, Fresno
tv. Cal., -writes:
/
ad bless you for what you have
for me. The rheumatism has all
ppeared, and to-day all exclaim,
r well you look!’ I tell them yes,
I owe it all to Dr. Hartman for his
advice to me. To-day finds me
free from pain as I ever was. The
4iny season has set in here, but the
change hasn’t affected me as it used
to. I am very thankful that I have
found out that you can and will help
the saflering ones that Will follow your
advice. Several have asked me what
cur?d me, and I tell them. They get
the.medicine then. We keep Peruna
in the bouse. My daughter has two
sorts, and they keep well and go to
scliool, and they take the medicine
every day.
■ a My wife was troubled with a pain
■ im her side for years. Now she is taking
\xB>ut medicine and is real smart. I will
Bpo all I can for you and for those who
^Beed your advice.”
HjBMr. Jno. O. Atkinson, Independence,
Bp., .lox 272, writes: . *
BPBilour remedies do ail that yk>u claim
for them, and even more. Catarrh can
not exist where Peruna is taken accord
i lng to directions. Peruna completely
[ cured my wife and I of catarrhal troubles
I, of twenty-five years standing. In my
roftnds as a traveling man I am a walk
ing advertisement of Peruna.”
Mrs. Alla Schwandt, Sanborn, Minn.,
writes:
“/ have been troubled with rheuma
tism and catarrh for twenty-five years.
Could not sleep day or night. After
having used Peruna I can sleep end
nothing bothers me now. If 1 ever am
affected with any kind of sickness
Peruna will be the medicine l, shall
use. My son was cured of catarrh of
the larynx by Peruna.”—Mrs. Alla
Schwandt.
Why Old People are Especially {.table
to Systemic Catarrh.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh ia
almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peruna.
write 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.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
Tee Hartman Sanitarium. Oolnrrd”i*. O
MASONS POSTPONE
ROBERTS MATTER.
His Trial for Violation of Lodge
Rules Set for October 17 at
Searcy—Is Confident of
Final Acquittal.
Searcy, Sept. 30. —The trial of
John V. Roberts in the Masonic
lodge here has been set for Oc
tober 17, at which time the lodge
of which Roberts is worshipful
master will take cognizance of
his connection with the Lightle
insurance affair and robbery of
Edward Pitts’ grave, as revealed
in his trial and conviction in Jus
tice Smith’s court at Judsonia.
Indications are that the lodge
will not await the action in the
circuit court on Roberts’ appeal,
but that it will act independent
ly. The proceedings in the lodge
will, of course, not be public,
li-V. mi _
IliVA V Vliuu Vi AAA
terest will center in the result of
the trial.
Roberts accepts the verdict at
Judsonia stoically and appears
confident of final acquittal.
FILLING IN GAP
TO CADDO GAP.
Antoine, Sept. 30.—Fifteen
Iron Mountain surveyors, with
* instruments, tents, cots and gen
eral equipment for grade and
level work on roadhed are here
and laying out side tracks and
main line to run from Antoine to
Caddo Gap. It is all the work of
the Gurdon and Fort Smith rail
road. The grading teams are
expected here every day and dirt
will be thrown immediately.
NOT EASILY SCARED.
On Tuesday Miss Linnie Rhea
I
drove on the ferryboat at Black
Rock, says the Blade. She sat
in her buggy. The horse became
frightened and ran through the
boat and into Black river. Miss
Linnie, after going into the
water, arose to the top and was
rescued. She came to the top
fighting lustily and pleasantly
smiled when help arrived. The
horse swam back to the Black
Rock side, then ran away and
smashed the buggy to pieces. It
was certainly a narrow escape
for Miss Linnie.
PARDONS AND RELEASES.
The governor on Friday par
doned W. S. Wilson of Jackson
county, convicted September 28,
1904, by Justice of the Peace
Guy Smith of Union township of

PARTNER OF
JOHN V. ROBERTS.
Attorney Carl Lee of Augusta
Was Greatly Surprised at
Verdict of Guilty.
Carl Lee, a prominent attorney
of Augusta, and who was once a
partner with John V. Roberts,
who was convicted Judsonia
of grave robbery, was in Little
Rock Friday, says the Democrat
of that city, and in speaking of
the verdict returned against Rob
erts said:
“I was never more surprised
in my life than I was when I
read of the conviction. I had
believed that John had built up
a defense that could not be pen
etrated by the state and one that
would be believed by the jury.
John and I were partners at Cot
ton Plant and at Searcy and I
was very much attached to him.
Later I was a partner of Con
gressman Brundidge.
“On the appeal to the circuit
court it is probable that the case
will be sent to Augusta for trial.
Judge Hutton has the right to
send the case to any county on a
change of venue, and it appears
that Woodruff will get it. How
ever, it may be possible that
jonn win except ims cuunty in
his petition for a change of venue.
I think a defendant in a case has
a right to ask this favor, and un
less the trial is held in Augusta
it is more than probable that
Forrest City will get it. Hon.
R. J. Lewis of the latter place
will be one of his attorneys in
the appeal case, so I under
stand.”
Augusta is the home of Pros
ecuting Attomoy P. R. Andrews
and for this reason it may be
possible that Mr. Roberts will
ask the court to name some other
county.
MADE A GOOD THING
OF ICE BUSINESS.
W. R. Lane, the progressive
ice man, is preparing to put in a
$10,000 ice plant in Walnut
Ridge, says the home paper, to
take the place of his small plant
jthat he is now running and
| which has been sold to Blackwell
| & Son of Black Rock. The pres
I ent plant has only a capacity of
three tons daily, but has been a
money maker for its owner. In
the four years it has been run
ning in Walnut Ridge it has net
ted Mr. Lane $9,000 in clean
cash. But then, you could set
Mr. Lane down on a rock in a
lonely island and he would make
money.
GEORGE BIGGER
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Hoxie, Sept. 30. — Sunday night
at Maynard, Randolph county,
George Bigger, aged 18, son of
G. F. Bigger, proprietor of the
Bigger hotel at Pocahontas, at
tempted suicide by taking an
ounce of laudanum. He was dis
covered in time to save his life,
though he is yet in a precarious
condition. He had just entered
school at that place and it is
thought was despondent over his
studies. He wrote three letters,
one to his mother, father and
sweetheart.
