The question as to what became oi the notorious Bender family h?a b eo. revived, sa^s a dispatch from Tjpeka, Kansas. Mesa peope for year,* hav?. believed tuao tue Benders escapee from Kansas and are still living some where. But Dr. J~mes A. De Mos*, of Tbayer, declares that the Bender.1 are ah laid to net in unmarked grav es mar Tbayer, and that he know.* the exact t?pot. "I h*ve in my possession," said ht "the names of eight living person-, who can tell the public, if tbey would, where the Beuden? are burled and whe lndentiri-d intir budies before tbei; burial.

Kansas bas bad many revolting crimes commuted within her borders, but none ever equal id the Bet. dar crimes, except poo&ioly the sacking of Lawrence. The Binders lived or. the main traveled road, about half way between Tbayer and Cherry vale. That was in the early 70's. Tne^e were four In the family.

The son's wife claimed to bs a medium and had great it fiuence over the members of the family They sold refreshments and fed travnlers wh( happened along about tieal time Their house had two rcoms, and the partition consisted of a calico curtain, in the early spring of '73 people be gan suddenly to disappear around tbat section of the country. 1 hey would Start out on the Tbayer-Cherry vale road, and that would be the last seen of them. They would drop complete ly out of signt. who the victims webs. In March of that year William York, a brother of Senator York, who play ed an important role m the Pomeroy senatorial scandal, started from Fori Scott to Independence. He dropped out of sight. Shortly afterward the Bonder family disappeared; The flisi time they we're missed was when t neighbor found a calf tied to a tret dead in the yard. The calf had died of starvation. The people then became '"" carious and Began au investigation They found a trap door in the houai and it opened to a pit about six feet in diamater. Tne ground floor wa soaked with blood, it smelled of de cayed human flesh. Qu--, in the garget some sunken holes were discovered A neighbor though he wtuid oit down and see what be could turn up.

She suffers even more than the child vrho happens to be sick. Her sympathy is deeper than that of ?ny other member of the family. The mothers look forward with dread to the torrid heat of summer, thinking of their children and the many liaLiili ties to disease that are before them. Spring and summer are sure to bring ailments, especially among the little folks. ? It does not take a mother very long to discover that Peruna is the best friend she has in times of illness among the children. The doctors may come and go with their different theories and constant change of remedies. The doctor of years ago gave entirely different remedies than he does today. Each year finds some change in his prescriptions and in the drugs he relies upon. A Multitude of Mothers Have discovered that Peruna is the Btand-by, and that in all the ailments of spring and summer to ?which the children are subjected, Peruna is the lemtdy that will most quickly relieve. "Whether it is sprinR fever or stomach derangement, whether it is indigestion ?or bowel disease, a catarrhal congestion of the mucous surfaces is the cause. Peruna quickly relieves this condition of tbo mucous membranes. Its opera tion is prompt, the children do not dis like to take the medicine, it has no dele terious effects in any part of the body. It. simple removes the cause of the disagreeable symptoms and restores the health. Peruna is not a physic. Peruna is not ft nervine nor a narcotic. Peruna does not produce any drug habit, however long it may be taken. Peruna is not a Stimulant. Peruna is a specific remedy for all catarrhal ailments of winter and sum mer, acute or chronic. The mothers all over the United States ere the best friends that Peruna has. The Mothers Hold Fe-ru-na in High Esteem, Not only because it has cured them of their various ailments, but because it always rescues the children from the throes and grasp of catarrhal diseases. We have in our files bushels of testi monials from mothers whose children have been cured by Peruna. However, the large majority of mothers who use Peruna, we never hear from. But we io hear from a great number of mothers who are bo overjoyed at some special good they have received from Peruna that they cannot restrain their enthusiasm. They are anxious to chare these benefits with other mothers.! Make Good Wives. . The Burmese won* en must make an ex?ellent write.

The chronic ailments it has prevented, the suffering it has mitigated, will never be fully recorded. Butatleast this much can be said thai the coming generation owes a greai debt to Peruna, for it is in the tender years of youth that slight ailments are liable to develop into lasting disease, thus blasting the whole career of the individual. The mothers who are bringing up theii children to-day to believe in Peruna are doing a great work for humanity. These children brought up to believe in Peruna from the start, will, when they become heads of families them selves, use Peruna with unquestioning faith. Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire j Household. ' As soon as the value of Peruna ie appreciated by every household, both as a preventive and cure, tens of thousands of lives will be saved, and hundreds oi thousands of chronic, lingering cases ol catarrh will be prevented. ill smart up-to-date women of today, ?n >w how to bake, wash, sing and to play; iv tbout these talents a wife is N. 6V J less she take^ T?ocky.Mountain Tea A.

We believe in "a square deal for all " Give ! us a trial. Mrs. Thre8a Rooke, 258 N. Ashland Avo., Chicago, 111., Treasurer Ladies' of the Maccabees, writea: "In oar home Peruna is the only medicine we have. Grandmother, mother, father and child, all have used Peruna. It is our great remedy for catarrh of the stomach and head, colds, and female complaints of which it has cured me. "We find it of great value when my husband becomes worn out or catches cold. A couple of doses cure him. "If the baby has colic, or any stomach disorders, a dose or two cured her. "I consider Peruna finer than any doctor's medicine that I have ever tried, and I know that as long as we have it in the house, we will all be able to keep in good health. "?Thresa Rooke. No Doctor Required. Mr. Edward Otto, 927 De Soto street, St. Paul, Minn., writes: "I cannot say enough for Peruna. It has done great work in my family, es pecially for my oldest boy. We had doctored with three or four different doctors and they did not seem to do him any good. "We gave up hopes of cure, and so did they, but we pulled-him through on Peruna. "Wehad several doctors end they said they could do no more for him so we tried Peruna as a last resort, and that did the work. Since then we keep It In the bouse all the time, and no doctor Is required."?Edward Otto. Pe-m-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found per manent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe runa is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir ing a drug habit. Pernna does not pro duce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by re moving the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna contained any drugs of a nar cotic nature. Mr. G. H. Farmer, New Martinsville, W. Va., writes: "Our little son, Harry, is well and healthy now and we think if we do as you directed us, he will keep his health and grow strong. "We know that our little son's life was saved by your wonderful medicine, Peruna, and we shall always praiac Peruna and use it In our family when needed. "Should we have any more oatarrhal trouble in our family, we shall always write to you for treatment."?G. H. Farmer. i Mr. Howard Andrew Sterner, Muddy Creek, Pa., writes: "I have Peruna in my house all the time and won't be without it. It is good for children when, they take a cold or croup. It cured my baby boy of croup. "I have introduced Peruna into six families since I received your last letter, and four havo seen relief alroady."? Howard Andrew Sterner.

Pe-ru-na Should Be Kept In Every Household Where There Are little Children. Peruna should be kept in the hong* ill the time. Don't wait until the child is sick, then fiend to a drug store. But, have Peruna on band?accept no sub* titute. Children are especially liable to acnte catarrh. Indeed, most of the affections >f childhood are catarrh. All forms of sore throat, qninsy, croup hoarseness, laryngitis, etc., are but dif ferent phases of catarrh. Mrs. Amelia Sailer, Menasha, Wis., writes: "I have used Peruna for a number of years. It cured me of chronic catarrh which I suffered with from infancy. "When my three children were born they all had catarrh, but I have given them Peruna and find it very effective in ridding them of this horrible trouble. I find that it is also good to give them as a tonic and a preventive of colds and colic. "In fact, I consider it a household blessing. I would not know how to raise my children without it. 1 am pleased to give It my recommenda* tlon."?Amelia Sailen Address Dr. 8. B. Harlanan, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Oolum? bus, Ohio.
