HON. EDWARD DWYEU,
Senator 17th District, Chicago, 111.
Hon. Edward Dwycr, Stnte Senator,
Seventeenth Senatorial District, Chi
cago. 111., writes: "Pe-ru-na cures when
all other remedies fall. I can heartily
recommend Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem
edy. It has been two years since I was
cured, and I consider my cure perma
nent. I took the remedy for two months
and am now entirely cured. I applied
to several doctors, but they were not
able to cure me. 1 tried many remedies
without avail.
"My catarrh was located chiefly In
the head. I was nllllctod with catarrh
for seven vears."
Pe-ru-na cures catarrh wherever lo
cated. Who Is It that sayH Pe-ru-na
will cure catarrh wherever located?
Doctors say It, lawyers say It, preach
ers say It, a vast army of men and wo
men say It who have tried It. The old
and tho young say It. They saw It In
and the young say It. They say It In
tho north and tho south.
SESSIONS ARE
LARGELYATTENDED
COUNTY INSTITUTE THIS YEAB
IS VERY SUCCESSFUL.
Dr. Mowry Spoke on 'Civil Govern
ment" and the "Great Northwest"
Yesterday and Miss McCloskey
Continued Her Instructions First
Appearance of Dr. S. C. Schmucker,
Who Talked on Nature Study.
Well Attended Lecture by Dr. Mow
ry in the Evening at High School.
The second day's session of the
teachers' county Institute held yester
day were as well attended as were the
first day's and In addition a number of
the city teachers attended In the after
noon Including Professor Grant and
Superintendent Howell. The lectures
given yesterday were probably move
interesting than on tho first day, there
being a greater variety of subjects
covered.
Dr. Mowry and Miss McCloskey con
tinued their lectures nnd the new
speakers wer Dr. P. C. Schmucker
and Rev. Elkannnh Hulley. Each
speaker 1 limited to a. certain period
of time and no matter nt what point
in his remarks he may be the clang
of Superintendent Taylor's hand bell
is heard and he Is obliged to closo
abruptly.
Tho morning exercises were opened
by Professor John T. Watklns, who be
gan a series of short instructions in
voice culture and methods of teach
ing singing to be given at the opening
of each Besslon. He paid especial at
tention to breathing ex'orclses and their
value in the mastering of the vocal art.
LECTURE ON CIVIL GOVERNMENT
Dr. Mowry then spoke on "Civil Gov
ernment and How to Toach It." Tho
doctor is probably the- most popular
speaker of the institute, his broad,
ruddy face, over which a singularly
Jovial expression is constantly playing,
has a wonderful effect in keeping lib)
audience In good humor.
He opened his remarks with a refer
ence to John Calvin's famous declara
tion, "Every man stands on an equal
ity before God." He stated that this
was the doctrine espoused by the Pur
itans who brought Anglo-Sangon civ
ilization to this country and that our
present liberties arc due In a large
measure to this. He said that absolute
ly the whole success of this country lies
in Its splendid system of public edu
cation. He told of tho gradual evolution of
the freo schools from their founding
in 1639 to the present time and said
that they were the products of and
are sustained by the government. Tf
so why then should not civil govern
ment be one of the principal studies
tuught.
He said he believed tho four advant
ages to be derived from the teaching
of this subject are: It makes good citi
zens; It prepares them for business
life; fits them for public duties and
fourth, and principally, instills pat
riotism In them.
He told of the aids to tho study, aids
which would tend to mnke it Interest
ing. He dwelt especially on the news,
papers and the Congressional Record,
telling how a careful perusal of these
vastly increased the pupil's knowledge.
In tho course of his remarks Dr.
Mowry happened to mention the al
phabetical system of reading and what
a pool' one It was. He was politely
told by Superintendent Taylor that his
Ideas on this subject weto not In har
mony with the trend of educational
thought In this county. Dr. Mowry
accordingly spoke no more along this
line.
INSTITUTE DIVIDED.
The Institute at this point divided In
to two sections, the primary teachers
retiring to court mom No. 2. where)
Hiss McCloskey spoke on "Primary
Reading." emphasising tho necessity
if having the children understand
vhat they were reading Instead of
laving them lapse Into a sing-song
nethod.
In the main court room Rev. El
kanah Hulley, principal of Keystone
icademy, spoke on "English Gram
mar" in place of A. U. Dunning, of
this city, who was to liave delivered
i lecture on "Teachlrfif Local Gcor
Braphy," but who was unable to be
present on account of an enforced ab
sence from the city. Ho will speak
on the topio this morning, however.
Rev. Mr. Hulley told of the absolute
necessity of tho successful man in all
walks of life being a good grammar
ian. He referred especially to the
queer and wonderfully wrought busi
ness letters written by modern busi
ness men and ventured tho statement
that the business man who is a good
grammarian is the successful one. In
the course of his remarks he referred
to the agitation against the seating
In congress of lirlgham H. Roberts, and
aid he bad written to Congressman
Hon. Prrtcr Jfttamon, who han served
four years ns btnir Senator from tuo
ronrth District In the city of Chicago,
I1L, and who also Is the first Demo
rratlo Senator ever elected from that
district. -writes: "I can heartily

"I took the remedy for fifteen weeks
and am now entirely cured. It has lcen
a year and a half since I was cured,
and I consider my cure durnble. I was

My catarrh was chlelly located In tho

cine Company, Columbus, Oo., for Dr.
Hartman's latest free book on chronic
catarrh, la grippe, etc.
Conncll asking him to use his Influ
ence In preventing his seating nnd that
he had received a favorable reply.
The next speaker was Dr. S. C.
Schmucker, professor of biology in
tho West Chester Normal school, who
spoke on tho topic "Gathering Sun
shine." Dr. Schmucker Is an exceed
ingly young man and his lectures ate
especially entertaining on account cf
tho way In which he deliver tlu-m.
His gesticulations nre both peculiar
and amusing, in fact, ho secnu like a
great big boy who Is waging enthusi
astic on some subject to some of his
boy companions.
USE NATURAL MATERIAL.
He said that the best manno." ot
gathering sunshine was to get ott and
get the children out In the air with
nature. He warned the teachers to
never attempt giving a nature lesson
without having natural material to Il
lustrate It. He told of many pecul
iarities In the vegetable kingdom and
tho wonderful lessons of natural eco
nomy and wisdom to be drawn from
them. He Interspersed his reinaiks
with numerous little anecdotes nnd
apt illustrations which could only lie
appreciated by hearing htm gvo then.
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion Prof. Watklns gave another brief
address on "Voice Culture," also lead
ing the teachers present In chorus
singing. The first speaker was Miss
McCloskey, who spoke on "The Study
of Mythology."
In opening her remarks she called the
attention of her audience to the favor
able views held on the advisability of
teaching young pupils mythology by
some of the greatest educators In tho
country. She said that a college pro
fessor hail told her that It was Im
possible to get college students to un
derstand the true worth of poetry deal
ing with mythological subjects if they
have not studied the latter early in life.
She said that studying the funda
mentals oi mythology at any other
time but childhood is like learning of
Santa Claus when one is twenty. She
paid that mythology was the inspira
tion which Inspired the marvelous Ore
clan period of sculpture and literature
nnd said that It might nlso have tho
same uplifting effect in the develop
ment of the nrtlstlc or nesthetlc sloe
of a child's nature.
SELECTION OF MYTHS.
She stated that a proper selection
of myths was, of course, necessary,
and that especial care should be taken
not to choose any which might tend
to depress or frighten the children.
She suggested the use of pictures or
representations of tho Greek sculptors
of the stories of mythology and by this
means not only teaching mythology
Itself, but also cultivating a love for
art In the pupil.
a quarette of young ladles from the
Dunmoro high school, comprising
Misses Ludwlg, Collins, J'owell and
Gilllgan, then sang a selection in a
clever manner and were obliged to re
spond to an encore.
They were followed by Dr. Mowry,
who delivered his second historical lec
ture, taking as his subject "The North
west -erritory."
His remarks dwelt especially on tho
treaty of 17S3 and the wonderful ter
ritory of the northwest which we ob
tained by It. He referred in passing
to the Revolutionary war and told
how In that struggle the majority ot
the people of England were In sym
pathy with this country.
Dr. Mowry told of the enormous ter
ritory acquired by this country and
of its wonderful progress.
The next feature on the programme
was ti gramophone concert, but tho
instrument had a very severe cold.
After tho teachers had their nerves
unstrung Superintendent Taylor kind
ly rang his bell announcing tho time
limit.
DR. SCIIMUCKER'S TALK.
Tho last speaker of the afternoon
was Dr. Schmucker, who spoke enter
tainingly on "Needless Fears." Ho
spoke of the peculiar but nevertheless
universal aversion held by human
beings for things which are In them
selves perfectly harmless. He told
of the popular fear of eating mush
roons for fear of being poisoned nnd
stated that out of about eight hun
dred varieties of this plant thero are
only three which are poisonous.
He told of tho popular fear of In
sects like tho dragon fly nnd tho Idea
that the Insect Is certainly making for
that particular person's face when in
reality It has no such Intention. Ho
spoke of tho great disgust manifested
for the common toad and of the pop
ular superstition that a touch of
one will give a person wnrts.
Ho said that in reality tho toad Is a
most Interesting creature and can he
easily mado a pet of and how, instead
ot being loathsome, It was in reality
a most loveablo little creature.
Ho then spoke of snakes and how
the children of the present day should
be taught that tho larger portion of
theso creatures are harmless. He told
of how his two little children were
quarreling recently over a garter snake
and how in each ono's effort to obtain
possession of It they pulled It in two
in tho center. Tho doctor said that
thero were only two poisonous snakes
north of Mnson nnd Dixon line and
they are tho copperhead nnd tho rattle
snake. ,
At today's session the courses being
delivered by Miss McCloskey, Dr.
Mowry nnd Dr. Schmucker will be
continued. Tomorrow Dr. Schaeffer,
state superintendent of schools, will bo
present and will give two lectures, lie
will also speak on lnursday.
THE EVENING LECTURE.
Last evening Dr. Mowry delivered
one of his famous lectures In the high
chool auditorium, taking as his theme,
"Napoleon's Enster, 1S03 nnd What
Came of It." The doctor was In the
best humor and kept his nudlenco In
terested from beginning to end.
His lecture was the story of how the
boundaries of this country were pushed
westward from the Mississippi to tho
Rocky Mountains and how in 1803 k
territory longer than Germany, Franc?,
Spain and Italy becamo ours. Ho de
scribed how In 1S03 that Napoleon, the
llttlo corporal from Coslca, had been
elected first consul of France, nnd how
he entered Into a secret treaty with
Spain by which tho latter country
coded to Franco this vast tract west of
the Mississippi river.
He told how when these negotia
tions were In progress that Spain
closed the port of New Orleans which
had been opened to American com
merce as a port of deposit. This
caused the producers In the south to
form a plan to capture New Orleans
by force of arms but this was stopped
by President Jefferson sending a com
missioner to France for the purpose of
purchasing the port for this govern
ment. Dr. Mowry then graphically described
a scene In Napoleon's palace ot St
Cloud on Easter Sunday nfternoon.
1803, when he summoned his secretaries
of war and of the treasury, William
Barbo de Marbols and Berthler nnd
consulted with them ns to the advis
ability of selling the whole country
west of the Mississippi to this country
for the purpose of filling the depleted
treasury In preparation for the war
with Great Hrltaln.
PURCHASE ARRANGED.
He then spoke of the diplomatic man
ner in which tho matter was Introduced
to tho American representatives, their
amazement at the enormity of the mat
ter and the flnnl purchase of 900.000
square miles of land for fl3.000.000. Ho
spoke of the historic scene when Na
poleon signed the treaty and his pro
phetic remark as he laid down his pen,
"There, I have this day Insured for
ever the future of what will be the
greatest nation In the world."
Dr. Mowry tritely remarked ithat
there are many men living In that ter
ritory today who could draw their per
sonal check for the amount paid fop
this land. He further said that we
have not stopped there but now have
a clear title to an archlpelego in tho
Pacific. He referred to those peoptv
who see In this expansion the destruc
tion of this country and usked that
they have a little confidence in tho In
tegrity and good statesmanship to bj
found In this glorious country of ours.
In the course of his remarks Dr.
Mowry made a statement which no
doubt will be received with surprise
by a large number of people. He sild
that the claim has been made that
now that we have control of the Phil
ippines the sun never sets on our pos
sessions. He paid the sun never set on
our possessions before we "over thought
of the Philippine Islands. He stat"d
that before the sun sets at night In tho
Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alask i
that the people of New England havo
finished their breakfasts.
This evening a musical entertainment
will be given In tho high school aud
itorium under the direction of Prof.
John T. Watklns. Tho Orepheus club,
Sohubert qu.irtetto and Charles A,
Hnrtley, the celebrated ventriloquist
will appear.

I WftO Pets m parasites.
IftLi ill 'fill ilnl llllllfcaH.femJ
THE parasitic germ is measured under the microscope
by the twenty-five thousandth part of an inch. Its
power is measured by the cholera scourge, the plague,
consumption, and other decimating diseases. The germ
lies in wait for human life on every side: in earth, air,
water nnd food. Attention has of late been drawn to pets
as disease disseminators. Many a boy has. taken diptlieria
from his pet dog; many a girl owes consumption to her
canary.
In London, England, they arc legislating to compel a
monthly examination of feathered pets, by the board of
health, because the experts on. consumption say that
"numerous cases of consumption have been shown to
originate from the deadly tuberculosis germs which breed
with such startling fecundity in these supposedly harmless
pets." Says a scientific writer, " Act
ual tests have shown that twenty per
cent, of the dairy cows of the United
States are tuberculous," and again,
" the average grade of milk sold in
large cities often contains as high as
80,000,000 bacteria in a cubic inch."
These facts are appalling. The
very existence of the human race
seems threatened, as indeed it is but
for one defence. To quote again
from a standard scientific article : " So
fast, indeed, are new parasites being
produced that were not science con
stantly elaborating coumer-cnecKs

One of these great
counter -checks to germ
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. The germ generally finds en
trance into the body through the
stomach. It enters by the door of
the mouth in our food or our drink.
A Great Swererw
" I was a great sufferer from dyspepsia for over two years, and I was a com
plete physical wreck," writes Mr. Preston K. Fcnstcrmacher, of Egypt, Lehigh
Co.. p.i. Hnd m.inv torturintr. unawinf', and aching pains I think alxnit all
that a dyspeptic has or ever could have. I also suffered much with constipation,
I tried in.iny different medicines, which were recommended to cure the trouble,
but these only made me worse, ami my condition was more sluggish and weak
than before. It seemed that I was getting worse all the time. At the same time
my stomach was in a weak condition. It was so weak that the least and easiest
kind of food to digest would get sour iu niy stomach, and I had such a weak and
debilitated appearance that it seemed as if I hail hardly auy blood in my whole
body. Muscles were soft nnd flabby, circulation poor and slow. Suffered
greatly from cold hands and feet. I wrote to a number of medical firms for
medicine and advice, and most of them asked of me a large sum of money to
cure me, but this I could not afford. At last I came across an advertisement of
Dr. Pierce's. I wrote to him, stating my symptoms and pains. I received by
return mail the best and most substantial advice that I ever before read. This
ndvice gave me the greatest confidence in the World's Dispensary Medical
Association, even so great that I at once left off all former remedies and tried
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ' Pleasant Pellets." I used about
eight vials of the 'Pellets' and ten bottles of the ' Discovery ,' which brought
me nearly back to my iormer state of health."

Its future power for harm depends chiefly upon the
condition of the stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition. When food is perfectly digested and assimi
lated, when the blood is pure and abundant, disease
finds no foothold. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the body practically impregnable against disease.
It heals diseases of the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition. It increases the activity of the
blood-making glands and so increases the supply of pure
blood. It carries off the waste and poisonous accumu
lations from the system. It makes a strong, healthy
body, built up of sound flesh instead of flabby fat.
Even when the lungs and respiratory organs have
been attacked, and there were obstinate cough, bron

that I would never be well again. At last I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's medi
