orSon%@j Jf "J WHICH w * - Ja Will you take chances with a cold, and risk ca- /' p arrhal trouble? Or will you take Peruna and rid <sj|^ That's a question you must answer often this winter, tM* Just remember, every cold that "gets well" of itself leaves \ traces of its visit. Sometimes these get to be serious. Often they ■ manifest themselves in catarrh of the stomach and intestines. PERUNA Conquers Catarrh Every cold is a possible start; every attack of indigestion may leave catarrh. The fl medicine that overcomes the cold and sets the digestion to rights may also overcome the I catarrh—if it is Peruna. This threefold usefulness distinguishes this remedy above all I others. Its effectiveness is proved by the evidence of thousands, gathered in our expe- \ rience of forty-five years, and it has helped so many you may reasonably 1 expect it to help you. In either liquid or tablet form, whichever fits your needs. iffE Manalin, the ideal laxative and liver tonic, can be taken tl V with Peruna. In its tablet form it is delicious to the taste, convenient, and without unpleasant effect. 10c and 25c. THE PERUNA COMPANY Columbtu, Ohio WELSH RUN MINISTER ILL, Waynesboro, Pa., Jan. 9. The Rev.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday "THE MATRIMANIC" v \ Picture of Kan and Thrills. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ' Reconstruction Scenes in "The Birth of a Nation" The scenes of Reconstruction days in the South shown in 13. \V. Griffith's spectacle, "The Birth of a Nation," are of a great historical value. Some of the most Interesting are those showing the sessions of the South Carolina Legisla ture when that body was controlled by negroes. In the House there were seventy-eight colored members with only forty-six whites, and of those thirty-two were carpetbaggers and scalawags. It was as if society was turned upside down. In place of the control of the old aristocratic states men, was the rule of the most ignorant democracy that mankind ever wit nessed. For a time barbarism had overcome civilization by the force of numbers. The slave was rioting in the halls of his former masters. L.IL.L.IAN GISH James S. Pike, a prominent aboli tionist, and therefore an unprejudiced eye-witness, wrote of those days in his valuable work, "The Prostrate State; South Carolina Under Negro Govern ment:' "The Governor is a South Carolina white man. The Lieutenant-Governor, the president of the Senate, the speaker of the House, the State Treasurer are all of the sable tint. The civilized and educated white race was underfoot, prostrate and powerless, and the Hack barbarian reigned in its stead. "At some of the desks sit colored men, whose type it would be hard to find outside of Congo; whose costumes, visages, attitudes and expressions only betit the forecastle of a buccaneer." The result wa<i the organization of the ICu Klux Klan and the redemption of the South from the horrors of mis rule. This picture of history is one of the most vivid in "The Birth of a Na tion." About the same time General Ulysses S. Grant, who had made an official visit to South Carolina, wrote in his report to President Johnson: "The presence of black troops, lately slaves, demoralizes labor. The late slave seemed imbued with the idea that the property of his late master belongs to him, or at least should have no pro tection from the colored soldier." ORPHEUM Wdnesday, matinee and night, January 10—George Sidney in "Busy Izzy." Saturday, matinee and night, January 13 "The Innocent Sinner," with Julia Dean.

Miss Carrie Webber, comes to the Orpheum to-morrow, matinee and night. With a well-developed plot to guiue the action of its manitold merriment, it Is reputed to possess such novelty of scenes, and incidents, as would naturally enhance the value of its character as an enter tainment which is novel in the extreme.
