Mothers Mrs. Brockman and Mrs. Sterling write that Peruna relieved catarrh and colds in their families. Other testimonials claim their children improved, croup and indigestion eased, and household use prevented illness. Proponents tout Peruna as narcotic free and permanently beneficial.
T A Clifton reports on local political developments in Covington with emphasis on Republican perspectives and community concerns in the Peoples Paper.
The current city council, previously misnamed, now clearly identifies the contents of their cans. They pledge there will be no mistake henceforth as they name the goods within.
The remark notes that the ha ha from the masses and party workers echoes as public approval while the city council would likely applaud within the Friend office, contrasting public sentiment with official chambers. The piece suggests differing tones between popular acclaim and municipal forums.
A quarrel over editorial gaps last week prompts complaints about Bro. Schwin of the Friend. The writer mocks the editor’s mental load and jokes that George Pukey could not spare time from county offices to help.
The piece accuses the column of misrepresenting the party and its influence while detailing how it devoted space to discredit the group last week. It claims the paper defends its own stance and praises a city council it helped elect, labeling the issues as dead and the effort as futile.
Edward Otto of 927 De Soto Street Minnesota writes that Peruna cured his oldest boy after many doctors failed. He says the family now keeps Peruna at home and no doctor is required, and argues the remedy has circulated for twenty years without narcotics.
The piece notes The Friend does not defend the democratic action of the republic council but commends it. It cites a $179.05 clause in the 1906 school report as key, with implications for the 1907 statement, and reflects on party politics as viewed in local memory and public sentiment.
The piece argues the Republican city convention attempted to drop opponent councilman Gray and endorse a Republican ticket. A name was placed against Gray but the party withdrew after ballots printed. The Friend supported a straight Democratic ticket and now claims it helped defeat that ticket while defending the Kaufman faction.

An advertisement extols Peruna as a tonic whose unknown benefits to the nation’s children are vast. It credits many mothers who have seen early ailments eased and predicts future generations will trust Peruna as they lead families.
An editorial dispute over city school finances argues the public is misled by assertions that the books are open for inspection. It disputes claims of embezzlement by the old board and notes sworn financial statements must exist in the county auditor’s files, but the 1907 report is not yet on file, limiting admissible proof.
A critical review of the 1906 special school fund report contrasts with 1905 detail, citing balance, expenditures, and teacher salaries. It accuses both old and new boards of misusing funds to sustain tuition or inflate levies, noting salary rises and department additions.
A vintage advertorial urges mothers to trust Peruna as a remedy for spring and summer catarrhal ailments in children. It cites widespread use across the United States, testimonials from mothers, and claims of quick relief without harmful side effects.
The speaker states disloyalty to the party led to expulsion while noting they were asked to cooperate in city and local elections but not in a rumored gang deal. Experience, they say, shows the gang expects the Friend to cooperate. They argue removal is justified to defend a square deal regardless of party.
The city school superintendent Horatio Semore Kaufman is praised for party loyalty yet criticized for manipulating party lines. The text claims he names the last three trustees and charters a so called republican council as a democratic faction to waste public funds, all to perpetuate Kaufman democracy.
