President Jasksonville Art Club. Miss Sophie B. Smith, President of the Jacksonville Art Club, writes from 17 W. Adams street, Jacksonville, Fla., as fol- lows: “From bad to worse is the story of a hard cold when it settles on the lungs and spreads catarrh through the sys- tem. From sick to well is the story when you use Peruna. I have tried it twice, and each time I had a hard cold, and although one was in midsummer and the other in midwinter, Peruna cured me each time. I give it my high- est indorsement—it is well deserved.” —Sophie B. Smith. A UNITED STATES SENATOR’S WIFE PRAISES PERUNA. Mrs. F. E.

The prisoner looked particularly well. She had taken particular care in making her toilet and she displayed more interest than at any time the case opened, scanning each | witness critically and listening eagerly to ){ the’ testimony. : Re Mrs. Kennedy did not give any outward sign of distress, She says she is determined that she will not. She was dressed in a light blue shirt waist, blue and ~ white trimmed hat and dark skirt.

It is truly a great triumph of scientific med- icine. I am constantly troubled with coughs, colds, etc., but thanks to your good medicine, Peruna, I always find a prompt cure. I believe no medicine ever brought before the public has ef- fected so many permanent cures as Pe- runa.’’—Mrs. F. E. Warren, 1848 Wy- oming st., Washington, D. C. Catching cold in the summer is a more frequent occurrence than is mbdst gener- ally supposed. Winter is generally sup- posed to be the time for colds. But cool nights alternating with hot days, sudden showers following sultry heat, profuse per- spiration and cooling draughts, are all pe- culiar to summer, which causes a multi- tude of people to catch cold. Summer colds require prompt treat- ment. They are always grave, and S Sophie B Spl OOOO tl tli and surety with which Peruna acts in these cases has saved many lives. A large dose of Peruna should be taken at the first appearance of a cold in sum- mer, followed by small and oft-repeated doses. There is no other remedy that med- ical science can furnish, so reliable and quick in its action as Peruna. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

MANY MINERS MEET DEATH. _ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) the opening of the shaft had increased, the crowd, including mothers, wives and sisters of many of the men entombed. All sorts of plans were suggested for the rescue of the men. Some taik of turning the Youghiogheny river into the mines, but many are opposed to this idea for fear of drowning the miners; All that would be necessary to let'a deulge of water loose in the mines would be to pull a plug which was placed in the mines after the explo- sion seven years ago, and the water would rush into the mines at a rapid rate. At 11 o'clock fgur men volunteered to go down shafts No. 2 and No. 3, and one man down No. 1. Karly today all the rescuing parties have come out of the mine. They say that the black damp makes work impossible and they give up hope of finding any of the missing alive.

Sweeney, who was mainly instrumental in saving Beveridge, was able to tell that he climbed over the bodes of at least three men on his way out.

The witness SSOSSS OOO SOOOOH OOO PDOSPOCOGCSCOHGOHOOCOHOOSD Carelessness—on the part of the transit company employes and the public—is the reason for the increased number of acci- dents on the transit company’s lines during the past year, says Superintendent John Grant. He told the Post-Dispatch, Tuesday, that he will discipline the company’s employes for the purpose of making them more care- ful in the operation of street cars. “There is no reason for the occurrence of accidents on our lines,’’ said superin- tendent Grant to the Post-Dispatch. “A street railway system can be operated without a greater number of casualties than those which must be counted among the unavoidableé “With this general rule in view, I took steps two weeks ago to stop the criticism that has been leveled against this system on the score that there was an increase of street car accidents. ‘I have visited all of the headquarters of the employes on the variows divisions and talked to them. My statement has heen that the frequency of accidents on the transit system must step. and if the do not stop the company will be com lied to hold every employe responsible who is found to be guilty of blame. “They have been warned, and I am agreeably impressed with the results. I no- tice a decided improvement on many of the lines, and I believe that the degree of care and efficiency will be increased until the safety of the riding public will be assured. “The men understand that the company also intends to enforce stringent rules of civility to the traveling public. Many com- plaints have come to us about the rude- ness of conductors. I have told the é¢m- loyes that the company will not tolerate mpoliteness and that such offenses, if re- peated, might constitute grounds for 4dis- charge. “I want to say that the statement made by some of our employes that many of the accidents which have occurred during the past year are due to an impossible time schedule is untrue. That is no excuse and will not be considered as an excuse by the company. The present schedules on which the varioys lines are running are not im- possible. “There are a fewer number of cars on some of the lines, but the running schedule has not been changed. This refers partic- ularly to the Fourth street cable line. pwhich was changed from_cable power to electricity not long ago. We have cut out six minutes’ wait at the terminals which was made necessary by the switching of the grip car. This time is now used in the running schedule.” BANQUET ON A BOAT.
