HORRIBLE DEATH.
Youth Caught In Gin Machinery npd
HIS Arm Torn on.

Grcenville. Texas November "A very
G:pltrablc and heartrending accident oc-
CURED at Yves Kennsdy's gin, seven miles
southwest OF the city. Saturday afternoon,
resulting In the death OF Albert Mosley,
the 14-year-old son OF Mr.. viii Moseley.
The boy was knocking about In the gin
house looking at the machinery, when he
accidentally came In contact n'
tumbling shaft. His arm was drawn
around the winding taft and broken In a
couple Of places, and finally severed from
the body. leaving only a shonf stub. This
released him from the grasp Of the shaft,
or his body would doubtless have been
broken and bruised In more horrible
manner.
The boy wae taken home and physicians
amputated the stub Of ann left, bat the
tcos of blood and shock was so terrible
that he died in couple OF hours after the
accident, which is certainly one OF the
NEST horribly, and sickening ever recorded
in this vicinity.
The Death OF the bay under such dis
trcasing circumstances has cast gloom
over th, entire community, and the SYM
pathits OF all go GU, TO the bereaved fam
lily and relatives.
Intermunt took place Sunday at Elm
Creek cemetery.

Beaumont, Texas, November 9--Thc city
council held special meeting last night
and granted a franchise for a street rail-
road to the Beaumont Electric Railroad
company. the company whose petition for
q franchise was turned down by the coun-
Gil at its regular meeting last week.
The Post correspondent today made an
effort to see the franchise as granted last
night, but failed. A copy OF the document
was. not in the possession Of the city sec
rotary and there was nothing on the min
utes to indicate that a franchise had been
granted. 1t was learned that repr, sent
atives of the railroad company were at
the council and they had \ mutual under
standing as to the nature and extent Of the
franchise. The things understood were
adopted and with data furnished the city
attorney was instructed to draft an ordi-
nance to comply herewith. Being called
from the city to meet the United States
senator's and congressman it was iinpos-
slhle for the city attorney to get the ordi-
nance in shape and The Pest correspond

NOT FOR EVERYTHING

But if you have kidney, liver or
bladder trouble you will find Swamp
Root just the remedy you need. PEG
pie are not apt to get anxious abont
their health soon enough. If you are
mot quite well'' or ''half sick" have
you ever thought that your kidneys
may be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty four hours; a
sediment OF settling indicates an I'm
healthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or
dull ache in the back is also convinc-
ing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing
the great remedy Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, fultills every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all
forms of bladder and urinary troubles.
Not only does Swamp-Root give new
life and activity to the kidneys-the
cause of trouble, but by treating the
kidneys it acts as tonic for the en-
tire constitution. lfyou need a medi

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. 1t
was individually bad case of la grippe
and recog nizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about speedy
cure. From the advertisement OF Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein.
we concluded to make first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfact-
DRY in Its results, is putting it very mild
" indeed. It acted like magic and the
result was speedy and p ornament cure.
We have no hesitancy in recommending
this excellent Cough Remedy to any one
afflicted with cough or cold in any form.
