DR.. GREENE'S NERvURA
For the Nerves and Blood.

This famous remedy is the scientific
specific for all nervous and blood dis
orders developed by the conditions and
habits of modern civilization. Nine
tenths of the maladies of mankind start
in some arrangement of the nerves or
blood, and in his study and experiment
DR.. Greene determined to devote his abili-
ties and energies to that field of labor.
While thus engaged he discovered the
remedy known as DR.. Greene's Nervura,
and thousands upon thousands OF cures
have been made by the use Of this most
wonderful remedy. 1t is the sure road to
health, and you have only to use it to be
made strong and we'll.
DR.. Greene's Consulting Physicians, IS
w. 18th St, New York City, can be con-
suited free, personally or by letter.
There is absolutely no charge for con-
sultation, examination or advice.

A Three-Cornered Duel Takes
Place in Arkansas.

LITTLE ROCK (Ark.), Dec. 2-Par-
ticulars Of a three-cornered duel, which
took place at a church near Huntsville
last night, were received here to-day.
1t seems that Seth Lowe, Will Phil
lips and John Howard, farmers, were
in love with the same girl, Miss Irene
Pruett- Miss Pruett went to prayer
meeting with Phillips last night, and
there they met the other young men.
The girl went into the building, While
the men repaired a short distance
away to discuss the situation Howard
and Lowe jumped on Phillips, who got
out his revolver and shot Howard
through the body. but before he could
cock his pistol the second time Lowe
pulled down on Phillips and completely
paralyZed him with a bullet through
the small of the back. Phillips shot
Lowe from the ground. however,
wounding him dangerously in h. left
shoulder.
The fight created a panic in the
church. 1t is said all three men are
fatally injured.

Quietly Married to Miss Marie

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-The marriage of
Miss Marie Hitch, daughter of Captain
F. V. Hitch, formerly of New Orleans,
to Henry George, Jr., son of the late
Henry George of New York, was cele-
brated to-day at the home of the brides
father, 23o Ontario street.
The wedding was quiet one, owing
to the recent death of Mr.. Georges
father. Only the most intimate friends
witnessed the ceremony, which was per-
formed by Rev. John Rusk of the Mill
tant Church The bride, who was SIM
ply but handsomely gowned in white
silk and lace. was attended by her sis
ter, Miss Gilmore Hitch, and the
groom was attended by Ralph Craw
ford of New York. as best man.
A wedding breakfast was served, af-
ter which Mr. and Mrs. George left for
Washington. Mrs. and Miss George
mother and sister of the groom, were
among the guests.
The wedding was to have taken place
week ago, but the sudden death of
Mr.. George in the heat of the cam
paign caused a postponment Of the

"MIssING LETTER" CONTESTS.
Declared by the PostoRce Depart
ment to be Lotteries.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Postof-
fee Department is taking a firm stand
against the so-called missing letter.
and missing word" contests which are
being conducted by number of pub
fishers to increase the subscription Of
their papers.
The lottery law directs that the Post
master-General, upon evidence satisfac-
tory to himself that a concern or per-
son is operating through the mails a
lottery or scheme offering prizes de-
pendent upon lot Or chance. to prohibit
the delivery OF all mail matter to 1t. All
newspapers and periodicals containing
advertisements of the character are for
hidden transmission in the mails.
This law, it is now announced at the
Postoffice Department, will be applied
to all schemes which are violations OF
it. if they are continued in operation or
advertisements Of them are published.
Missing letter contests are held to be
such violations, because many correct
answers can be given, but only one list
is deemed the correct list" by the pro-
moter of the scheme. The chance con-
sists in guessing what words compose
the so-called correct list"
Such schemes are held to be especially
obnoxious. owing to the wording of the
advertisements, which make the chance
for obtaining a prize more remote than
in the defunct Louisiana lottery.
