one. About two years ago this tlmo
O'Lcary's house tool; fire and was de
stroyed with all his household effects.
Ho Immediately stocked another houso
with a complete set of household re
quisites and all went well for a time,
as he had taken tho pledge. Finally,
however, ho save way to his craving
and after kicking In tho door smashed
tho furniture. From that time on in
felicity was the lot of his faithful
spouse. A short tlmo ago O'Leary
made up his mind ho would break-up
housekeeping and this he did by break
ing part of tho furniture and soiling
tho balance for cents whero It ought
to have brought dollars. Mrs. O'Leary
went to live with relatives and for a
tlmo enjoyed peace. Finally Georgp
Invuded her new home. He appeured
late Friday night and, owing to tho
extreme cold and lateness of tho hour,
was told he could come In If ho would
behave. Ho ptomlsed to bo good, but
In the morning was up to his old
tricks, so he was shown tho door and
told to vamoose. He went away, but
late Saturday afternoon returned nnd
was very boisterous. About thla
time Special Otllcer John Addley hap
pened along and O'Leary was taken
In tow by him nnd was allowed to re
pent in the city hostile over Sunday.
Mrs. O'Lenry then sworo out a war
rant for his arrest and ho was taken
before Alderman K, J. Delevan, of tho
Sixth ward1. There being sufficient evi
dence to satisfy his honor of tho man's
guilt, O'Leary was told he would have
10 furnish $300 ball. Being unable to
do this at the time, he was again taken
to "William Klllecn's winter home, but
yesterday afternoon tha piisonor suc
ceeded In getting a bondsman and was
leleased.

The older In which the symptoms ot
chronlo catnrth occur are nearly al
ways as follows:
A COLD WHICH HANGS ON LON
GER THAN USUAL: a sensitiveness
of tho nlr passages, by which one
catches cold easily; a continual set
tled cold In the head, throat, or chest;
discharges grow thicker and moto of
fensive, loss of flesh, despondency, loss
of appetite, hcadacho or cough, and
general lassitude.
Now this Is about the order In which
symptoms of chronlo catarrh make
their appearance, nnd If the sufferer
Is fortunate enough to find a cure the
symptoms will begin t3" disappear In
exactly the reverse order. There may
be at llrst no peiceptlble1 Improvement
In tho earliest symptoms, while the
latter symptoms siiow piompt Im
provement. This is Exactly What Peruna Will
Do in tho Cure of Chronic Catarrh.
It first Invigorates the system, tin
creases the appetite, then the patient
begins to gain flesh, hopo tnke3 tlw
place of despondency, and all the mis
chievous symptoms which the chronlq
catarrh has produced will disappear
one by one In the roverso order of their
appearance.
