He was released from Jail last August"
stated the policeman, land since then I
really believe he has not worked single
day and has not been sober a single day
He is nuisance to the neighborhood in
which he resides"
I'm no vag," declared Mullen, with a
SHOW of indignation. I'll admit / was
drunk Saturday and yesterday, but as for
being drunk right along since August why
mats silly, because l haven't had enough
money to buy the liquor that would do that.
And can prove that 1 worked three days
last week"
Mills.
Inc rather OF Thomas supplied the neces-
sary bond and the defendant was released.

coiored. convicted of housebreaking in
Criminal Court No. 1 last week. The in

ing that the offense was committed in the

menl and new trial. contended that his

nent and not guilty as to the other.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work. The proprietors have so much faith in its cura- tive powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Wiles advised me to try Pink Pills as he said they had cured bad case of rheumatism for him and some of his relatives. l was so impressed with Mir. Wiles' enthusiastic praise of Pink Pills that decided to try box, and the result is all that the most exacting could wish for before had taken two boxes of the pills I was completely cured, and feel better now than I have for several years.
 My wife," continued MT. Baird, "was badly afflicted with neuralgia in the breast with frequent smothering spells. One box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills effected com plete cure in her case. l attribute my cure and that Of my wife solely to Pink Pills, and have no hesitancy in recommending them to the afflicted"
