Of Lexington. Ky„ Says:
*Fe-ru-na 5s an Excellent Medicine.”
,T. II. Hipplegate, Supt. of Public
Works, 61 West 6th St., Lexington, Ky.,
writes:
“I find that Peruna is an excellent
medicine especially for catarrhal affec
tions and all diseases leading to con
sumption, bronchial troubles or stomach
troubles. It also acts as a preventative
and keeps the system in a healthy con
dition so that it easily throws off dis
ease. It is an excellent tonic and a
groat appetizer and as a large numljer
of those who have been using it speak
very highly of its curative powers, I am
satisfied that my opinion of it is correct,
and that it is deserving of high praise.”
—J. II. Hipplegate.
Peruna is the remedy for catarrh. Al
most everybody knows that by hearsay
and thousands know it by experience.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming national curse. An un
doubted remedy has been discovered by
Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the past forty
years. Peruna cures catarrh in all
phases and stages. There is no remedy
that j?an be substituted.
If you do not deiive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruiia,
write atonce to Di. Hartman, giving a
fLii 1 statement of y mr case, and lie will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President o'

corporated last spring, withdrew
from the corporation Tuesday,
and turned all their interests
over to the creditors of the com
pany. Chief Engineer F. H.
Fielder and Right-of-Way Agent
D. D. Maddry are in charge as
trustees for the creditors. Those
who were interested in the enter
prise became convinced of Mr.
Shaner’s inability to bring the
project to a successful issue, and
iiested his withdrawal. The
otiations recently pending
h the Memphis, Paris & Gulf
[road have fallen through,
ssrs. Maddry and Fielder,
le they make none of the ex
ragant claims that have been
anced by Mr. Shaner during
last few months, are in earn

wlkt they can to finance the
sclfeme and build the proposed

BY MAD BULL.

by Animal—Assistance
Too Late.
II Helena, Sept. 14.— N. B. Tur
ner, an old and well-known res
ident of Phillips county, was

confined, to reach the house of
a sick negro employed on his
place, and the bull, coming up
behind him, knocked him to the
ground and gored him fatally be
fore help came, in the person of
a negro, who drove the vicious

BRANCHING OUT
FROM JOPLIN.
Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas
Railway Buliding Through
Kansas.
Joplon, Mo., Sept. 14.—There
are many reports in reference to
extensions of various railroads
throughout southwest Missouri
and southeastern Kansas. The
country is full of surveyors and
civil engineers, and it is certain
that many new roads are to be
built in the near future. Al
ready the Arkansas, Missouri &
Kansas railway, from Chanute to
Memphis, is building its road to
ward Joplin to Scammon, Kan.,
at the rate of a mile of road per
day. The Missouri Pacific is to
extend its JopJin-Granby division
south through Newton and Mc
Donald counties, Mo., into north
ern Arkansas to Bentonville.
Engineers are now in the field lo
cating the route.
For many years the building of
the Missouri Pacific from Joplin
to Chetopa, Kan., has been un
der advisement, and this exten
sion is again revived. The dis
covery of rich bodies of zinc ore
at Baxter Springs and the future
prospects of that place have put
the Missouri Pacific officials on
their guard, and for some time a
surveying corps has been in the
field making a preliminary sur
vey of the line.
