Mr.. H. N. Warner, of Minden,

In 1894 was attacked with
paralysis in my left side. You
might stick pin to the head into
my left hip and would not feel
it. I was unable to do any kind
of work and had to be turned in
bed. made up my mind that I
could not be cured as I had used
all kinds of medicine and had
tried many doctors. I was adj
vised to try Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and com
menced their use last September.
Before 1 had finished my first box
I felt better, and by the time I had
used six boxes the disease had en-
tirely disappeared, and have not
been so free from pain since was
a boy. The paralysis also disap-
peared, and although two months
have passed since / finished my
last box, there has been no recur-
renee of the disease. From the
Gazette, Azinde1s, Ne6.

ments necessary to give new life and rich

such considerations should have any

DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Two Dallas Officers Have q Fierce Fight.
Both arc Dead.

Two Dallas Officers Have q Fierce Fight.
Both arc Dead.
A sensational duel occurred in
Dallas yesterday morning just be-
fore daylight.
The duelist were Mounted Off
Ger A. P. Rawlins and Special Po-
liceman Charles A. Daniel, the
weapons were large caliber single
action sixshooters, and the distance
was three PAGES.
Food for the leaden hail, both
men stood their ground and shot
it out" to the bitter end.
Both men are dead. Rawlir S
fell on his side and then rolled
over on his back to expire in less
than ten minutes without uttering
word. He moved his lips once
or twice in an effort to speak to
his brother, who soon arrived OH
the scene, and was holding his
head, but the effort was futile.
Daniels dropped his weapon and
staggered off up the street and
then returned to the drug store on
the corner, where he died an hour
later, unconscious of the pitiful
moaning and hysterical weeping of
his wife, who had hastened to his
side
According to the statements of
the few persons who witnessed the
bloody affair, there were but few
words spoken. Rawlings, they
say, said something TO Daniels,
and then both men drew their
weapons and opened fire.
