SINCE TAKING PERUNA can say my bowels are much more regular. My heart is stronger. My appetite is much better. My throat is much better. Mrs.

William H. Hinchliffe, 30 Myrtle Beverly, writes: "I have taken four bottles of Peruna, and I can say that it has done me a great deal of good for catarrh of the head and throat. I recommend Peruna to all sufferers with catarrh. I do not think I ever felt much better. I am really surprised at tha work I can do.

I do not think too much praise can be said for Peruna." Those who object to fluid medicines can now procure Peruna Tablets.

Hurst, of Craney, formerly of the Hedical Department of U. S. Army, Enters Plea. A few days ago, 1 stood by the grave of one of our old, Revolutionary heroes, Captain Ralph Stewart, known mostly by the name of Hafe Stewart, and I said to his great-grand SOD, who was with me, "What a shairc that the last resting place of one of our old soldiers of Revolutionary fame should be so badly neglected." This man, Captain Stewart, was in the Continental army under General Washington, and at the bat- t'e of Cowpens, down in South Carolina was severely wounded by one of British soldiers under Gen. Tarleton, having his left shoulder nearly cut off by a sabre Some years after peace was made lie and his brother James Stewart got into a combat with some Indians, and killed six of them.

It seems to have been been the law' to kill Indians then, for an attempt was soon made to arrest Captain Stewart and his brother James, and they left their favorite haunts and wandered over into this part of West Virginia, then old Virginia, and settled down within a short distance of where I am writing this letter and died on this stream, Clear Fork, in Wyoming county. Ater coming to this country, the Governor of Old Virginia issued both nf these men a prieve for the crime of having killed six Indians and this document was in the Stewart and Walker families for many years, but lias been lost or mislaid. His old walking cane, over a hundred years old, is in the possession of Mr. Wm. Stewart Walker, the great-grand-son rf Captain Stewart.

It has a stag horn handle, and has the initials, S. a i carved thereon. TOOK HER DOLLAR. Peered Woman Complains About New Bootleg Swindle. A new method of thc gentle arl of making a touch has been developed by the Charleston branch of the great army of panhandlers since the state went dry that is being practiced on the unitiated with great success at present, and this is another of the crimes charged against the Yost law by the wet clement.

Here is the modus Thc operators of the scheme see a person wandering around, looking rather dry and inclined to expectorate cotton. They approach him cautiously and interrogate him guardedly as to how he would like to "have a litlle drunk." Of course he would. Then he is informed that if he will "slip over" a dollar and hang around, a pint will be brought to him in a jiffy. If the aforesaid cotton spitter falls f6r the game, he generally waits in vain. OHicer Doc Layne had an experience with one such victim recently.

While patroling his beat on Summers street a woman considerably peeved over her disappointment came up to him and demanded thai be arresl somebody who had gotten a dollar from her by this new meth- ad of obtaining money under false pretenses. As she wasn't sure of the identity of Ihe person who got her money and never came back, the policeman was unable lo relieve her EVERYONE IS PRAISING IT, Huntington Lady Had Faith in Cooper's Remedy, One Battle Brings Relief. Among thc hundreds in Huntington, now praising and endorsing the new preparation, Tanlac is Mrs. M. Roach, a long resident of thai city living al 1239 Monroe avenue.

She said in the Huntington papers a short while ago: "I have faith in Mr. Cooper's medicines for I have used them in (he years gone by, and several years ago Ihe best results inimaginable." Many who have visited the great labratories in Dayton of the Cooper Medicine Company or have used preparations bearing that name have called Tanlac, Cooper's "Premier Preparation," as it has since to be in cases of stomach, liver or kidney Irouble. Mrs. Roach states on in her written statement: "I suffered from stomach and kidney trouble, poor appetite, loss of flesh and a general run down condition. I felt very bad and weak most of thc time and gas formed on my stomach causing the most severe pains afler eating.

Since taking but one bottle my stomach has greatly improved, and I have a very good appetite. I feel much stronger and better in every way. Mv kidney trouble has all disappeared, and it is doing all thai it was recommended to do." "It is highly gratifying to every distress or her I man connected with Mr. Cooper to Charleston Gazette. receive much statements and injects that pleasurable something into our work which makes it worth while and brings happiness not only to the sufferer but to the men in charge of the various cities-in which Tanlac is being introduced," said T.
