To prevent the rontemplated bill to increase the tariff duties on nuts and fruits being forwed on the peo ple the Shamokin Business Men's Association has transmitted to Con gressman John G. McIIeury a strong protest against this unjust increase. For example : Pineap ples would jump from 14 to 70 cents per crate ; grapes to 80 cents ; lemons to $1.15 per box ; currants, raisins and other fruits in propor tion.

When one has acquired the habit of witnessing musical comedies like "Wanted a Husband" it is hard to lose it and one seems to witness it again and again without tiring in the least of its charm. It is a relief to listen to the piece in its proper surroundings. The com pany is especially strong on the musical side as are all organizations which Mr. Estey sends out throughout the country for musical comedies, and this one ranks among the very best. The solo numbers are all well cared for but the choruses show the full strength of the organization to the best advautage. Although the engagement is for reb. 22, only the advance sale of seats will be open Friday so as to give the patrons of the Columbia Theatre a cnance to make their selections of the choice seats.

No Trespassing. The Lackawanna Railroad has been erecting signs forbidding tres passing on their property all along the line. The company has been moved to this course in self protec tion.

When catarrh once fastens itself upon the system it becomes an obstinate dis ease to eradicate. A systomio romedy one that reaches every internal organ of the body is an absolute necessity. Peruna is Just snch a remedy. It searches out the caune of tho disease, healing and strengthening the mucous membranes, and t lms giving Nature an opportunity to perform her part of the restorative process. One of the many hospitals which have found Perunaof valuoln treating old and obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital St. John, who write as follows: "We are happy to tell you that your Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three patients have tried it, one 68 years old Runoui DnpuIs,afUictod with catarrh, is much relieved, more than he has been for a number of years. "A young girl, 13 years old, had an obstinate cough, which halt a bottle of Peruna caused to disappear. As to myself, two bottles have con vinced me that Peruna la magnificent as a tonic ' v "Before the treatment I could not walk for a quarter of an hour without Who Influenced him. A lawyer once asked a man who had at various times sat on several juries: "Who influenced you most the lawyers, the witnesses or the Judges ?" He expected to cet some useful and interesting information from so experienced a juryman, says the Dundee Advertiser. This was the man's reply : "I tell yer, sir, 'ow I makes up my mind. I am a plain man. and a reasouin' man, and I ain't influ enced by anything the lawyers say, nor by what the witnesses say no, nor by what the Judge says. "I just look at the man in the dock, aud I says : "If he ain't doue nothing, why is he there :" And I brings 'em all in guilty." INSTRUCTION IN MUS C. Chas. P.

Like the great Montezuma of old Mexico, Chief Wtnnemucca, who was born and lived the most of his life beside Pyramid lake, Nevada, had a thinking mind and a large, warm heart. He was chief of an Indlau tribe called the Plutes, and before any white men came over the Rocky mountains to disturb them there were several thousand Indians, to whom he was like a father. He saw to it that they had plenty of good food to eat, nice furs and skins to wear, and handsome tepees (or wig wams) for their families to live in. He bad a good wife and many child ren of his own; he was always very klnj to them, and took much pains to teach all he himself knew to bis eldest son, who was to be Chief Win. nemucca after him.'

We recommend It highly rbr colds, coughs, catarrh and neuralgia, "1 have used it myself as a tonio with tho best results, taken as directed, hall a teaspoonful every half hour." Mrs. Etta Booker, Dundurn, Saak N. W. T., Canada, writes : "I suffered with in tornal catarrh until I wrote to Dr. Hartman, and after tak ing treatment as he advised, I can say I am now cured of this most trying affliction, for which I am truly thank ful. I think Peruna the best medicine for catarrh. I never felt better in ray life than I do at present." Peruna not only promptly relieves coughs and colds in their first stages, but is equally prompt and efficient fas catarrhal diseases in thochronio stag. Of course, it is only reasonable ts suppose that a great deal less medicine will be necessary to cure a slight attack of catarrh, than would be required ts relieve the ailment after It had been al lowed to become chronic.
