Mr*. Geo. C. Wor*toll, 11 River Ruud, Clfrkriburp, W. Va., writes:
*1 truft that no one will think from this that I want my name in public
for any cause only to let sufferers know where they may find relief from
many ailments.
"I can truly say I have been much benefited by the use of Peruna. I
feel better than I have for two years. It is the best medicine that I know
for pelvic troubles.
“I have taken medicine from the doctors and found no relief; but when
I began taking Peruna I could see that before I had finished taking the
first bottle it was doing me good.”
Cold Developed Into Catarrh.
Mr*. N. 1*. Lawler, 428* N. Broadway,
Pittsburg, Kas., writes:
“Pwuna is a sovereign remedy for
tat&fiii. Last spring I caught a severe
cold which developed into a serious case
of catarrh. I felt weak 'ind sick and
eon Id aeitlier < at nor sleep well.
“A. friend who had been cured of ca
tarrh through the use of Per uua ad vised
me to try it and I did so at once. I ex
pected help, but nothing like the won
derful change for the better I observed
almost as soon as I started taking it.
••hi three days I felt much bettor and
wlthm a we< k I was well. 1 continued
taking the entire bottle and within two
week* I was in line health. Peruna Is
* wonderful medicine."
Catarrh of the Bowels.
Mrs. Maggie f)u"bin, 1 »{2 North St.,
Little Rock, Ark., writes:
“1 was troubled ~ >r five years with a
chronic disease. I tried everything I
heard of, but nothing did mo any good.
Some doctors said my trouble was
catarrh of the bow els, and some \ .id
consumption of the bowels. OuododNrr
said he could cure me; I took LL; medi-
ain" t : vo month", but it did *nc nog' 1.
“A mendol mine udv - d me to try
Peruna and I did so. After T bad taken

Mo and pains in the side.
“A year ago 1 w as expected *o die at
any time, and the doctor was omc imes

But I am thankful to say that I do not

“Since I have used your Peruna as

“I have taken Peruna and it did me more good than all my two years
treatment by special physicians. I can really say that I feel like another
person. No more swollen feet and limbs. No more bloating of the
abdomen. No more shortness of breath. No more stiff and sore joints.
You have no idea what your treatment has done for me. It certainly has
prolonged my life and made a new woman of me.
“0, such a blessing I have received through your kindness, doctor, and
the assistance of the medicine which you so kindly prescribed. I am able
to work since I began your treatment, but before I was not able to help
myself; ranch less work for any one else. All praise is due to Dr. Hartman
and his treatment”

Signs In St. Louis, Cincinnati and
Other Waterway Cities That Old Time
Activity May Return—Vast Missis
sippi Valley Will Benefit.
I
Revival of busy days of steamboating
on the Mississippi and its tributaries
Is likely to be the outcome of the pas
sage of the rate law an 1 the agitation
by business men and farmers for more
facilities for moving goods and crops.
The waterways commission announo
ed by President Roosevi.i .id. Iook in
to this subject particularly. There is
much talk among men Interested In the
steamboating that has survived of
plans to provide more facilities. Steam
boats were almost driven out of busi
ness by railroad rate cuttiug. Such
methods will be impossible under the
rate law.
The decline of the steamboat busi
ness on the Mississippi and Its tribu
tarios began in 1872. when the rail
roads .started their inroads into the
trade that had been controlled by tin*
riv'*r craft, writes a St. Louis corn*
sp indent of the Nev i or.-. Time;.
Traffic on the Mississippi had revived
after the war and was at the highest
point from tr.GS to 1871'. From that
year the decline was gradual until
about 1 • 8,".
TratSr* on tin* Missouri, however, was
the first to be affected owing to the
earlier extension of railroads into tied
territory. Only three boats were ply
lug between St. Louis a>..l Kansas City
in ISSo and none from St. Louis t >
P ants above Kansas City. Home small
boats were plying in “short trades” on
the Mi-souri as far up as Bismarck.
N. It. for the last fifteen years traf
fic on tin* Mi- sourl has been practically
abandoned, so far as direct coune -tlon
with St. Louis is concerned. Efforts
are now being made to revive this in
dustry. A syndicate of Kansas City
merchants, headed by L. H. Jones, Into
announced that it Is ready to organize
u company, with a capital of S2O0.000.
to establish a line of boats between
Kansas City and St. Louis. A Nash
ville (Tena.) steamboat company will
run one or two boats on the Missouri
from St. Louis to Miami, 250 miles up
the river.
Large quantities of grain were car
tied lu barges from St. Louis to New
Orleans for export from 1869 to about
board and low water troubles lu the
Mississippi in 18'.»9 caused this branch
of transportation to be abandoned.
Figures given by the St. Louis Mer
chants’ Exchange relative to the river
traffic of the last twenty years are as
i follows;
1887.
j Boats arriving 2,301
1 Barges arriving 1.272
j Tons of freight received 652.880
| Tons of lumber and logs by
raft 213.165
, Tons of freight shipped out. 637,060
The volume of business in 1887 was
probably only two-thirds of that of
i 1S72, when the decline began. The sta
tistics of the Merchants’ Exchange
show a very material decline In the
receipts of lumber by river from the
| south in the last few years.
The railroads by the rebate system
for years made low rates to all rlvfcr
points, and the steamers were obliged
to meet them in additiou to having to
contend with sandbars through the low
water seasons. Shippers solicited rates
from both the river lines and the rail
roads, playing one against the other.
The railroads usually made the lower
rates, and the steamboat companies in
endeavoring to meet them were ruined.
The St. Louis aud New Orleans An
chor line, the last line of steamers op
erating between St. Louis aud New Or
leans. went out of business in 1898.
Captain I. M. Mason, for many years
president ol the line, says difficulties
resulting from low water in the river
had as much to do with the failure as
the matter of rates. The low water
was caused partly by the lack of ef
fectual Improvement of the river by
the government.
At present shipments to New Orleans
by river must be transferred at Mem
phis and again at Vicksburg. The river
lines are making no attempt to secure
through business, having abandoned It
to the railroads.
One Hue having three boats operates
between St. Louis and St Paul In the
midsummer seasou, confining its busi
ness chiefly to passenger traffic. Only
one boat, making two trips a week,
operates between St Louis and Peo
ria, in the Illinois river, where In the
early seventies steamers were making
daily trips.
President W. A. Bennett of the Cin
cinnati chamber of commerce says that
he thinks most important to the utiliz
ing of the waterways of the couu-
! try is legislation to prevent a pooling
I of interests or other arrangements that
I practically at present prevent comiietl-
| tlon between railroads and steamboats.
It Is a well known fact that the rail
roads control the inland river traffic.
F. A. Laldley of Cincinnati, an ex
tensive owner of steamboats, says:
M Rallroad rebating of late years has
almost paralyzed river traffic. We
could not meet the reductions made to
shippers by competing lines. The Cin
cinnati and New Orleans Packet Hue
was put out of existence on this ac
count. In the Clneinnatl-Mempbis line
we now run two boats at Irregular In
tervals whenever we get a load.
‘‘If the government can do away
with railroad rebating local river traf
fie at this point will pick up 60 per
cent within two years.”
A Bloody Record*
(Columbia Record.)
Cherol>ee is me of the youthful
counties of So rU Carolina, yet the
Gaffnev Ledger Is authority for the
statement that about forty homicides
have occurred within Its bounds
c ince its organization ten vears ago.
That is a bloody record. Of the exe
cution of Harris there last week, The
Ledger says:
“It Is a fact worthy of note that
the first person to pay the death
oenalty was a white man who was
a native of the county. This is not
covin 0- that others should 1 have
been convicted, but it’s a healthy
sign that the juries of the county
have arrived at the point where thev
Tre showing a proper regard for the
rights of its citizens. Surelv this
will be a lesson and will check the
flow of blood in this county.”
One hanging out of forty homicides
Is not a terrifying enough record to
dete- angrv passion and cau'*- the
■>”'>uld-b o murderer to withhold his
hand. Still it is a beginning and it

A Phenomenon.
A reporter was Interviewing Vice
President James Gayley of the
United States Steel corporation on
the wonderful new process for mak
ing stoll that he has invented.
“ft is a Phenomenal success. I am
told.” the reporter said.
“Hardly phenomenal,” answered
Mr Gayley, smiling. “A phenome
non, you know 4 , is a mighty extraor
dinary thing. Did you never hear
the Scottish lecturer’s definition of
a phenomenon?”
“No,” said the reporter. “I never
did.”
“Well, this lecturer,” said Mr.
Gaylev. “put the matter thus:
“ ‘Mayhap, ma friend.’ he said, ‘ye
ilinna ken what a phenomenon may ;
be. Well, I’ll tell ye. Ye’ve all seen
a coo, nae doot. Well, a coo’s nae
a phenomenon. You’ve all seen an
annle tree. Well, an apple tree’s
nar> a phenomenon. But gin ve see
a coo gang up an apple tree tail
foremost to pull anrdes. that friends,
would be a i’ a al phenomenon.’ ”
Cooper’s New Discovery ha* taught
me many things. Not least of which
is that parasite*
or tape worms u»
they are called are
responsible for pa
immense amount
of sufferings.
Thousands of
these creaturea
have been brought
to me by people
who have take*
the Ne-,7 Discov
ery and I now know
that an immense
amount of sup
posed stomach
trouble is caused in reality by one oi
these parasites. A man or womaa
may be afflicted in this manner for
! years and not realize the true caaae
i of their suffering. When I first sold
Cooper’s New Discovery I did not
know that the medicine would remove
this trouble. I have since found that
it invariably does so. The following
letter is a fair sample of the symptoma
as experienced by an individual tha*
affected:
“I was always tired. My stomaoh
bloated and the slightest exertio*
made me sick, weak and dizzy. My
i appetite was variable and a good
' nights sleep was unknown to me.
i When I awoke in the mornings I had
a bad taste in n;v mouth and a coated
tongue. I heard of the wonderful
benefits that were being derived from
Cooper’s New Discovery, aud decided
to try it.”
‘‘The horrible tape worm, sixty feet
long that had been sapping my life
away, passed from my system alive
and squirming after I had taken three
doses. Now I have a splendid appe
tite, every trace of stomach trouble
has disappeared and my digestion if
good. I sleep well and am gaining in
strength every day.” Nick Emmer-
ick, 1344 Louis Ave., Milwaukee, Wis.
