The Doctor’s Discovery.
DR. BROWN, OF DAVID CITY,
NEB., FINDS A MEDICINE
OF RARE VIRTUE.
He First Corti Himself with it, and then
Psescribes it for His Patients with
(•ratifying Results.
{From the Lincoln, Neb., Call.)
Dr. Samuel L. Brown is a pioneer resident
of David City, having lived there tor twenty
years’. He is well known all over Butler
County, having practiced medicine in every
part. It is his recovery from a very serious
disease that is looked upon as a miracle.
When visited by a Call reporter Dr. Brown
gladly related the history of his sickness and
his final cure.
“ This will be my first step into thedield of
a personal interview, but I am so enthusiastic
over my recovery that 1 feel like conducting
a regular experience meeting.
“Six or seven years ago partial paralysis
set in upon my left side, and 1 soon became
affected by kindred ailments. The pension
board found my trouble to be “partial paral
ysis of left side, varicose veins of both legs,
and left varicocele.” I was also troubled with
Diabetes. I became unable to perform man
ual labor, having to give up the larger part
of my practice. I could hobble around by the
use of crutches and cane. I tried every med
icine that I ever heard of in endeavoring to
relieve my suffering.
“About a year ago I read of a medicine
called Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, that seemed
to fit my case, so I serft for samples. I was
so well satisfied with the samples that I sent
for more, as they acted directly in harmony
with nature. Those are the things I look for
in treating diseases. I used a number of boxes
of the pills, and I am now entirely relieved of
all my several ailments, and am able to move
about once more, without being hampered
with crippling diseases. In my practice I
always use Pink Pills where the diagnosis of
the case favors them.
“ I now have a remarkable case at Brain
erd. .Augustus Talbot, the postmaster, was
suffering from diabete and insipidness, and
was in the first stages of Bright’s disease.
The doctors had failed to give him any relief.
All hope of his recovery had been given up
when I was called in aiid took charge of the
case. He is now on the road to complete re
covery. The Bright’s disease was headed oft,
and the other ailments overwhelmed. A hap
pier family cannot be found than that of
Postmaster Talbot, of Brainerd.”
Sworn and subscribed to before me this sev
enth day of September, A. D. 1893, at David
City, Neb. E. S. Runyon,

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
are now given to the public as an unfailing
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakness arising from a watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves.
The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent postpaid on receipt of price (50 cents a
box, or six boxes for s2.so—they are never
sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing

Alabama Editors Shoot.
Huntsville, Ala., Oct 22.—The
editors of tho two daily papers
hero, Frank Coleman, of tho Ar
gus, and Robert L. O’Neal of the
Mercury, exchanged four pistol
shots at each other yesterday on
tl.o southeast corner of the square.
None of tho shots took effect,
though bullets passed through the
clothing of each party. The trou
ble grew out of an editorial dis
patch, and is probably not yet
settled. Both iren were at rested.

“I wrote to a friend of mine at
Dalton, Ga., for some statistics,”
said Secretary Smiih. “He replied
by saying their cotton factory had
been running t?n ye <rs and had
paid an average of ten per cent
per year. All through the south
cotton mills can be erected cheap
er than in England, cheaper than
in New England. The ground
costs little, you can make brick
anywhere, and the lumber can
nearly always be cut within a few
miles of the site. Take two plants
of the same capacity, one in Eng
land and one in Georgia, and the
latter will represent a much smal
ler investment. The cotton is
grown at the door.’ Figures which
I have collected show that the cost
of the raw material to tho South
ern manufacturer is 6 percent loss
than to }he English manufacturer
and 3 per cent less than the cost
in New England. Here is your
profit in this one item. Ido not
sav,” concluded Secretary Smith,
“that wo should move the cation
factories of New Eng and to the
South, bvt I do say we should from
New England and the South move
on the world's markets and cap
ture them.” *

of Dalton, Ga., in which he stated
that he had failed to keep his pro

he was not in his right mind.
The letter was dated Oct. 18,
showing that the suicide had been
contemplated for several days

several months and had become
very despondent. It is stated, too
that he was a victim of tho gamb
ling table. His losses were his

Who Can Solve the Problem?
A woman took a basket of eggs
to the city for sale. Upon being
asked how many she had, she re
plied : If I take the eggs out of
tho basket two at a time I have
one left. If I take them out three
at a time I have one left. If I
take them out four at a time I
have one left. If I take them out
five at a time I have one left If
I take them out six at a time 11
have one left, but if I take them
out seven at a time I have none
left in the basket. How many
eggs had she in the basket?
The Spring Place Jimplecute
notes that Hon. Trainmoll Starr is
a candidate for solicitor general
to succeed Mr. Fite, and says “of
course we are for Tram-; we were
for him two years ago—before he
had ever shown his mettle in the
servioo of the people—and since
he has proven one of the best
j equipped and most faithful mem
: bers of Georgia’s legislature we are
1 for him for almost anything he
I wants. Not having consulted our
member of the general assembly
we cannot say how his vote will
be cast in the matter, but we are
confident he is for Tram Starr.”

Adopted by Trion M. E. Sabbath

M hereas, In the providence of
God we have been called upon to
. mourn the death of our fellow la
! borer in the Sunday school, H. C.
Mullinax; therefore resolved,
First, that in his death the Sun

loss. His work previous to the
time of his failing health is sel
dom equalled and never excelled.
His heart was in the work, and
i truly it might be said of him, as
it was said of one more illustrious
in the eyes of tho world; Beloved
God and little children. He died
las he had lived, a good and true
man, and what is our loss is his
eternal gain.
Resolved, second, we as a
i Sunday scho ’l extend to the grief
stricken family our heartfelt sym
pathies in this hour of their sad
bereavement.
Resolved, third, That a page of

Olney to Resign.
Chicago, Oct- 24—A dispatch
to the Inter Ocean from Washing
ton says: Owing probably to the
' fact that Secretary Olney did not
go to Atlanta with the President
and party, but did leave for Bos
ton today, » rumor is afloat tonight
that Mr. Olney is contemplating
retirement from the cabinet. The
alleged cause for this is supposed
disagreement between himself and
the President in regard to the
foreign policy, especially with ref
erence to the Venezuelan matter,
in which the rumor says, Mr. Ol
ney favors a more vigorous course
than does the President. The ru
mor, however, is entirely’ uncon
firmed, and owing to the absence
of Mr. Olney and President Cleve
land, as well as all members of the
cabinet, it is impossible to obtain
any definite information which
will confirm or disprove it.

MISS HENDERSON IS DEAD.
Was Assaultel by Neal Smith,
the Cole City Convict Trusty.
Trenton, Oct., 22. —Miss Hen
derson, who was so brutally as
saulted several days ago by Neal
Smith, a negro convict, died at
Cole City this morning. Miss
Henderson never regained suffi
cient consciousness to speak of the
assault, which was perhaps the
most brutal in the criminal anna's
of Georgia, and she died uncon
scious of the fact that her assail
ant has been tortured and killed
near the spot where she was attack
ed by the convict brute.
Miss Henderson was a beautiful ■
young lady of nineteen years, a |
resident of Alabama, where her
father is a prominent farmer and
formerly chief of polioe at Bridge
port. She was visiting at C<>le
City and walking alone when Neal
Smith, who was a “trusty” left the
other convicts and followed and
assaulted her.

ELM VIEW, TEX.
Editor News: —As I promised
a great many friends in Georgia I
would write to them 1 will take
advantage of the News.
Now to begin with I will say a
few words about how I expected ;
to find Texas. I expected to find ;
the wind blowing so hard that a
man could hardly get his breath ;
also the water to be so scarce a
man could not find enough to get
a drink and when ho did it would
taste so bad he could hardly drink
it. I did not expect to find any
timber at all. But instead of find
ing it so, tho wind has not blowed
hard enough to bother a Georgia
man but one day since I have been
here. As for tho water most peo
ple have cistern water which
drinks very well. There are a great'
many wells in this part of the
country which a.e not as cold as
the Georgia springs, but tastes just
about as well.
The cotton crop in this part is
considerably short. It will aver
age about a bale to every three
acres. The corn crop is as good
as the land will make. It will
make from 60 to 75 bushels per
acre. The bulk of the oat crop is
selling at from 15 to 18 cents a
bushel. The cotton market open
ed up at 7| cents, but has advanced
to cents. Corn is selling at 15
cents per.bushel.
Ido not advise a man that has
a good home in Georgia to sell out
and come to Toxas. But I will
say to the young men that they
can do better here than they can
m Georgia, and they need not be
afraid they cannot find them any
sweethearts here, for there is plen
ty girls out here. I have been
told that when a young man come
out here from Georgia the girls
would put him in a ring and lar
riot him out and the one who gets
him can have him, but I have not
seen anything of that kind going
on yet.
The land in this section is of a
black sandy loam and produces
well when seasonable. I think
Texas is one of the busiest and
most prosperous states in the un
ion. There is some money in the
country ail the time. I think a
man has two chances here t> one
in Georgia. He has tne advantages
of an oat crop and a cotton crop
to where he only has a cotton crop
in Georgia.
I will say to my frienus around
New and Subligna, that I am well
pleased with Texas and am a read
er of the News and would like to
he ir from both places ihroughthe
News. G. R . Quinn.

Mrs. F. M. Mayner died last
Thursday after a long spell of sick
ness. Wo extend our sympathy
to the bereaved family. It is hard
to lose a kind mother or a loving
friend but into all lives some rain
must fall. But if we are inclined,
we can prepare f or the dark days,
and out of the rich harvest of sun
shine accumulate sufficient to light
us over the shadowy places. Many
a dark and dreary chasm may bo
crossed on a single sunbeam. We
have a right from past experience
to anticipate sorrows. Wo know
that they must inevitably come,
but that is no reason why wo should
suffer them before they arrive, or
linger over their remains after
they have passed away. It is a
great drawback to oneself or his
fellows to waste time in vain re
grets.
Accumulate sunshine ; if you
have more then you need you can
always find some one who will need
all you can spare. It is a commo
dity that is always in demand and
always at a premium. Not that it
is so scarce but because people are
so wasteful of it. God provides
plen y for all, but sad to say most
people are improvident. If it fall
in golden Hoods today they say to
themselves that it will be the same
tomorrow. No amount of adverse
experience seems to convince thorn
of the fallacy of this doctrine, but
Ito those who cultivate an even
(tempered spirit and keep the heart
at an even temperature, there is
no trouble in keeping a store of
that fine commodity always on
hand and how grateful it is to
draw upon when needed.

The More Monstrous.
Joaquin Miller related an anec
dote in Oakland, Cal., the other
' day of Carlyle, whom he visited
j with Lord Houghton in Chelsea.
, The sage, in dressing gown and
' slippers, sat at his fireplace and
poked the fire while he discoursed
lon the immorality of the soul. “I
know of but one thing on this
earth more monstrous than a man
without religion,” said he. “And
what is that thing?” asked one of
the visitors. “It is a woman with
out religion,” said Carlyle.
UNFORTUNATE DIFFICULTY
Which Came Near Having A Ser
ions Termination.
A cutting affray occurred at Ly
erly last Saturday about noon.,
which camo near proving serious
to the parties concerned.
Comp Gross, a young man who
had removed from Buchanan to
Lyerly three or four months ago,
had engaged a horse and buggy
from A. J. Lee, and sent his broth
er Charles to the stable after it.
The negro in charge refused to let
the turnout go until it had been
paid for, and referred the young
man to Mr. Lee. Instead of going
to Mr. Lee, he reported the matter
to his brother, Comp. The latter
went to Mr. Loe and asked if it
was true that he refused to let him
have the turnout until paid for
and Mr. Lee told him that it was.
During the course of the conversa
tion Gross used some vile and very
obscene language to Mr. Lee, when
the latter kicked him. Gross at
the time had an open knife in his
hand with which he had been whit
tling on a stick. He started at
Lee with his knife when Loe pick
ed up a rock and threw at Gross,
missing him. Gross then threw a
rock at Lee, striking him on the
side of the head and knocking him
down. Grose jumped on Lee while
he was down, but Loe turned him
and got on top. During the scuf
fle Gross tut Lee on top of the
head, inflicting an ugly but not a
dangerous wound. About this
time Charley Gross run up will an
open knife in his hand, making
threatening demonstrations, bnt
Lee’s negro man held him off, and
soon after W. P. Foster and others
rucceeded in parting Lee and Comp
Gross.
During the difficulty Mr. Lee
also had his right shoulder bone
broken but it is not known how it
was done, whether by a rock in
Gross’s hands, or from the fall.
Os the three wounds this is the
most serious and painful.
A warrant was sworn out for
Comp and Charley Gross for as
sault with intent to murder, and
Saturday they were placed in jaii,
they having waived a preliminary
trial. It is supposed they will
make bond soon.
Monday morning Mr. Lee was
suffering greatly from the wound
in his temple from the rock thrown
by Gross, and also from the knife
cut on his head. The wounds,
however, are not thought to bo
serious, but are necessarily very
painful.
The above are thennain facts in
the case as we learn them from a
source that is perfectly reliable.
The trouble of course is greatly re
gretted by the friends of both par
ties.
Later.—The required bond was giv
en yesterday. The bondsman being
Mr. 11. S. Dover, and the two prison
ers were accordingly released until
court.
