Tones up the System. Mrs. William Ms Roberts, Waverly, Minn., writes: “I am perfectly well of ths catarrh. I took Peruns and Manalia. I recommend your medicins to every one and uennot praise it enough. It Is a fine medicine to take any season of the year. Taken in the spring it tones up the system and acta as a gentle stimulant.” A Good Tonic. Mr. Joe Leonard. Plat 3, 282 Allen St., Buffalo, N. Y., writes: ‘‘l bars pood reason to endorse Peruna ns i have fonnd it a good tonic, stimulating the system and sustaining It under great pressure, imparting unusual endurance and enabling me to work much longer and harder than the system could possibly do were it not for the great powers with which it endowed me. It gives one nerves of iron.”

COUNCIL IN SESSION Sidewalks Along Monroe Street Must Be Built at Once—Bills Allowed The council met Tuesday in regular session. Mayor France presiding, and every councilman responding to roll call. The minutes of the former meeting were read and approved after which the council got down to their regular routine of work. The first matter on the program was the opening of the bids on the improvement of the alleys between First and Second streets and Monroe and Jackeon streets, which were as follows: Hoffman and Son, $2,738.75; W. J. Meyers $1,866.44; Julius Haugk $1,714.66. Before awarding the contract to Mr. Haugk who was the lowest bidtfer, the council by a unanimous vote adopted the Logan block number two for paving purposes and adopted the Cleveland stone for curbing purposes. Mr. Haugk will no doubt file hi® bond st once and proceed on the work which will be rushed to completion. Four bids were received by the clerk for the building of the bulkhead at the St. Marys river for the Monroe street sewer and were as follows, tow’it: Emanuel wcous $<v7.75, Julius Haugk $481.75; Butler and Butler $594.50. The bid of Meyers and Davis was rejected owing to the fact that their certified check had not been signed. The bid of Julius Haugk being the lowest he was awarded the contract and will start work as soon 18 the weather will permit. Upon motion by Van Camp the city attorney was ordered to draft a resolution permitting the city to sell the sidewalks along west Monroe street to the lowest bidder, which walks ’’ere ordered to be constructed last summer and are still uncompleted, and that the cost be taxed to the abutting property. Upon motion by Christen the city clerk was ordered to notify Woods and Haugk to rePMr the brick street on north Second -“vet near the Fritsinger stone quar>v and that they do the same as

Mr. Caleb H. Bortoli, Police Officer, 212 North Paea street, Baltimore, Md., writes: several years I was treabled with catarrh of the head, throat and stomach. Many times I would vomit before and after eating. **l took seven tattles of your Peruna, and I am glad to say that it has cored me. “I feel mere like living and working, and am not bothered at all with my old troubles. ‘‘l take great pleasure in recommending Peruna to all sufferers with catarrh, and I thank yoa for what you have done for me, for none but those who have suffered as I have can appreciate a great cure as I have found Peruna to be.”

Splendid for La Orlppe. Mr. Frank H. Fielder, 213 . peasant Ave., Montgomery, Ala., formerly principal of Haynesville High School, writes: “I can truthfully say that Peruna la a splendid remedy for la grippe, and a good tonic for building up the system.”

Clipping and trimming horses is also done at this bam at reasonable prices. Orders have been issued from the postoffice department at Washington that all patrons on rural routes having old style mail boxes must have them replaced by new and standard make boxes. The change must be made within sixty days for the penalty attached will be that of the patrons not obeying orders having to go to the general delivery for their mail. The order is issued in order to give better service to the natrons and that mail can better be taken care of in the new boxes.

Pain In Chest. Mrs. A. W. Gustin, 5209 Lake Ave., St. Joseph, Mo., writes: “When I began taking Peruna I hod quite a severe pain and ache in the left of my chest. I suffered a great deal with it. “I wrote to Dr. Hartman and asked him what I should do. He advised my

IS GAFFEY ONE? Grip Belonging to Man Who Worked Here Was Found Today Adam A. Rienhart, Grand Knight of the K. of C. lodge at Fort Wayne, telephoned this office on Wednesday for information concerning one F. L. Gaffey, whose grip was found in the ruins of the Aveline fire today. Gaffey was here last December and published a year book for the St. Marys church. Lodge brothers at Fort Wayne fear he was a victim of the fire. Since leaving here it developed that Gaffey was a swindler and only yesterday Rev. .Wilken received a communication from near Buffalo, N. Y., stating that Gaffey had worked his graft in that community and denouncing him vigorously. Whether he came In this direction or not again is not known.

Fort Wayne, May 6.—The walls of the Aveline hotel became unsafe yesterday and were torn down, the work being completed today. Eleven bodies had been taken out and five are believed to be still in the ruins, perhaps more. Those known to be missing are Mr. Daniels, of Roanoke, Va.; Arthur Cameron and Herman Seligman, of New York; E. T. Smith of Pittsburg and Ira Johnston, of Chicago. The last unidentified body is believed to be Charles Benjamin, of Detroit. It will be several days before the debris can be cleared and the other bodies recovered. A. E. Hammil, of Geneva, was in DecaturTuesday evening attending the Masonic banquet. He and his wife were among the lucky guests at the Aveline Saturday night, who escaped without injury and with small loss. He says they had a Calhoun street room on the third floor, opening directly upon a fire escape balcony. Had this not been true they would probably never escaped. The fire alarm was first sounded at 3: 32. Mrs. Hammil finally awakened and told her husband the hotel was on fire. They dressed partially, grabbed their belongings, stepped out on the fire escape and were soon safe. Even then Mr. Hammil’s eyebrows and

Mr. Willtom Hoge, President Commercial Travelers Association, 280 Broadway, New York, N. Y., writes: “I endorse Peruna as the most effectual remedy for catarrh I have been able to find in my travels in this country or Europe. I can truly say that I have spent thousands of dollars in this country alone trying to find a cure, and it wee not until I was induced to give Pernna a trial that I obtained anything like permanent relief. As a tonic it is simply great. It ought to be in the grip of every commercial traveler on the road, it oared my wl*s as well as myself. We have not had the slightest symptom of catarrh for a long time.” In a letter Mr. Hoge says;—“l have used Peruna for many years, never without a.botHe in my grip. lam the youngest feeling and youngest looking man of my age in New York, which I think is entirely due toPeruna.’’

Mr. Hammil is confident that it was after four o’clock when they first awoke. He says they were not frightened much until they had got out and realized their narrow escape. Mrs. Hammil collapsed after reaching home Monlay, and was quite ill for a short time. WAS WELL KNOWN Had Been Sick Several Months But Was Apparently Better Last Night Frederick Schoenstedt, one of the pioneer farmers of this section, died at eleven o’clock Tuesday night at the home of his son, Henry Schoenstedt, just across the state line, eight miles east of the city. He had suffered from .dropsy and other complications, due to old age, since last September. Last evening he eat a hearty supper and at about nine o’clock fell asleep in his chair, which he had occupied since his illness began. Shortly before eleven o’clock his son heard a noise and upon reaching his side found he had fallen from his chair, evidently having suffered a stroke of apoplexy. He gasped a few' times and died. Mr. Schoenstedt was born in Germany July 28, 1826, and was nearly eightytwo years old. He came to America when eighteen years old, worked in New York as a cabinet maker several years, then removed to Hancock county, where he lived until 1827, when he came* to Van Wert county and settled on the farm near the state line, where be lived until his death.

I had tried almost everything else, Bo I purchased a bottle of Peruna and commenced to take it at once, and before 1 tad finished the first bottle I found I was improving. “I wrote you for special advice concerning my eyeg, which I received.
