again.”
There are a great many phases of
woman's ailments that require the as
sistanee of the surgeon.
But by far the greatest number of
such cases are amenable to correct me-
dicinal treatment.
A vast multitude of women have been
relieved from the ailments peculiar to
their sex through the use of Peruna as
prescribed by Dr. Hartman.
He receives many letters from all I
parts of the country relating to subjects
of vital interest to womankind.
Of the vast multitude of women who
take Peruna only a very small percent
age consider it necessary to write to
the doctor at all.
While it is not affirmed that Peruna
will relieve every case of this kind it isi
certainly the part of wisdom for every
woman so afflicted to give Peruna a fair
trial.
SAMPLE BOTTLE FREE—To demonstrate the value of Peruna in all
catarrhal troubles we will send you a sample bottle absolutely free by mail.
The merit and success of Peruna is so well known to the public that our read-
ers are advised to send for sample bottle. Address the Peruna Company Colum-
bus Ohio. Don't forget to mention you read this generous offer in the Light
and Gazette.
If in need of advice write our Medical Department stating your case fully.
Our physician in charge will send you advice free together with literature con-
taining common sense rules for health which you cannot afford to be without.

Mrs. Joseph Lacelle 124 Bronson St.
* Ottawa East Ontario Canada writes:
j ‘‘l suffered with backache and head-
ache for over nine months and nothing
relieved me until I took Peruna. This
medicine is by far better than any other
I medicine for these troubles. A few bot-
ties relieved me of my miserable half-
dead half-alive condition.
“I am now in good health have
neither ache nor pain nor have I had
any for the past year. If every suffer-
ing woman would take Penina they
would soon know its value and never be
without it.”

will do when their republican conven-
tions are held.
According to the progressives the In-
diana republicans will indorse the tariff
plank of the national convention of
1908 and the tariff speeches made by
President Taft during that campaign.
The platform they declare will not
mention the Payne-Aldrich tariff but
stress will be laid upon the ercation of
a tariff commission and the president’s
recommendation along this line will re-
ceive hearty endorsement.
The personnel of the resolutions com-
mittee is settled and it is said to be
controlled by Beveridge men. Senator
Beveridge himself will preside and his
speech is expected to be an aggressive
one defending his opposition to the
schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
and his final vote against the tariff

■ bold exposition of the principles of the

I campaign for re-election will be made
along these lines and his speech will
form the keynote of the campaign.
Had a Hard Fight.
The reported victory of the Bever-
idge forces was accomplished after a
hard fight as the stand patters offered
determined opposition to the program
outlined by the Beveridge faction. The
stand-patters demanded a compromise

Beveridge’s friends assert that press-

ministration to this end and that ex-

liteutenants of the Cannon organiza-
tion have been in Indiana all week try-

who wishes to be known as the ‘‘Ae-
rial Columbus” and who to achieve
such a distinction will attempt to cross
the Atlantic ocean in an airship to-
day made known the particulars of his
plan.
‘‘l shall be accompanied on the jour-

editor of a Frankfort newspaper by a
physician and one engineer. I intend
to start about the middle of May from
either Cadiz Spain or Teneriffe.
‘‘There is always a wind at this
time of the year blowing from the Eu-
ropean to the American continent and
with a force of about SO miles an hour.
It was to this wind that Columbus
owed his discovery of America. I de-
sire to be an aerial Columbus and
starting from the approximate dame

were granted. In this they enlisted the

The Beveridge forces stood their
ground declared a compromise would
be a slap at Beveridge and insisted that
as he was the issue this year the re-
publican convention must endorse his
position and let him enter the field
without handicap. It was said tonight
that Watson and Hemenway had aban-
doned their fight and that neither would

Upon state issues the question ot
local option which many think defeat-
ed the party two years ago is the big
problem. It has been decided to re-
affirm the party’s belief in the princi-
ple of county local option saying it is
on trial and until its success or failure
is fully determined the party will mark
time. The anti saloon league made a
strong effort tn get the party to take a
stand for state wide prohibition.

pany in whose store and factory twelve
persons principally women were burned
to death was required to testify be-
fore the coroner’s jury this afternoon as
to the safeguards which the concern
placed about its employes. Fish said
that several years ago the company
bought fire extinguishers. He did not
remember from whom they were bought
and promised to have the data when
the inquest is resumed. He said the
exits were clear when the fire broke
out and he never thought there was
danger to anyone from fire. Fish’s

distance would be a little over 4000
miles.
“I estimate that I should cover this
distance in five days. My airship now
almost completed is a combination of
an ordinary balloon and a dirigible air-
ship. The length of the balloon section
is 175 feet and its diameter which is
cigar shaped is 50 feet. The motor
is 40 horsepower.
‘•Owing to the favorable winds
which I expect to encounter I intend
to use the motor only in case of ne-
cessity because it is not possible to
take sufficient benzoine to keep the
motor going for five days. The cubic
contents of the balloon are sufficient
to keep the airship aloft for 145 hours.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of
the airship is a cage 40 feet long and
10 feet wide which in ease of neces-
sity can be sailed on the ocean as a
motor boat or as a sailing boat should
my benzoine fail me.
“So far as human foresight can
foresee my enterprise must succeed. A
number of ships will be on the look-
out for us between European coasts and
the West Indies.”

Price of a new Thos. Goggan

$9O $lOO $125 5197 $2lO Etc.
And on Terms of $5 Per Month and Up
CHEAPER TO BUY THAN RENT
All the surplus stock of pianos both new and used is now be-
ing offered at practically your own figures. Nice new uprights arc
going at $197 $2lO $225 etc. to close out at once.
There is almost every known make offered. Good used pianos
are now being sold at $9O $lOO $125 etc. Several grand pianos are
offered at about half price.
This list includes such makes as CHICKERING & SONS
EMERSON GOGGAN SMITH & BARNES ARMSTRONG
BREWSTER ROYAL KRELL FAIRFIELD FOSTER as
well as perhaps fifteen to twenty-five other different makes.
This surplus stock was put on sale last week and is going very
fast but there was such a large overstock that we are certain that
the sale will continue for several days.
There is such an extraordinary fine selection of standard makes
both in the new as well as the used pianos that it does seem as
though one ought to be censured for allowing such an opportunity
to pass by them and especially so when you consider the Goggan
easy payment plan is always in vogue. A plan which means that
you can purchase a piano as cheaply as other'stores charge for the
rent of a piano. We sell pianos as low as $5 per month and up with-
out advancing the price one cent; we simply ask you to pay us a
small annual interest for the accommodation. Where oh where
can you do near as well ? Come in and just see for yourself—sepd
your friends for you cannot realize the exceptional bargains being
offered without seeing them and next week may be too late.

make deals in stocks on margins and
had no difficulty in negotiating trades.
But it was necessary to ascertain
whether these were really carried out
in a bona fide manner or were as was
suspected merely ‘‘bucketed.” So
the government officers resorted to the
same methods which the bueketshop
men themselves are said to have em-
ployed and proceeded to “tap” the
wires. In this way they discovered
much of the evidence which will be
used in the effort to convict. They
found out also that many of the shops
wore not receiving stock quotations
directly but getting them from the
wires of a reputable brokerage house
surreptitiously.
Extends to Other Cities.
From the investigation here the gov-
ernment extended the inquiry into
other cities with the result of expos-
ing a perfect network of shops operat-
ed from the three big central estab-
lishments named. It was the work of
months to trace out the men princi-
pally responsible for their 'operation
and to obtain the necessary evidence
about them. It took men to make a
purchase or sale in one of the bucket-
shops and then establish by the records
of the exchange that such a transac-
tion had never been recorded but had
simply been taken in the shop as a
‘ ‘ bet.”
Enough had been discovered three
: weeks ago however to enable the pre-
| sentatiou of the evidence to the grand
jury in this city with the result made
known today. The 29 men connected
with the companies against which pro-
ceedings have been begun are charged
with conspiracy t-o violate the law
making the operation of a bucketshop
illegal.
The five men caught in New York
are Richard E. Preusser who i* said to
