1T has been held that consumption is
hereditary, and the fact that one per-
son Of a family had died with con-
sumption was considered a sure sign
that others Of that family could not
escape it. This is partly true and
partly untrue. A man with weak lungs
is likely to transmit that weakness to
his children. But there is no reason
in the world why the weakness should
be allowed to develop. Keep the lungs
full of rich, red, wholesome blood, and
the weakness will disappear. Decay
inc tissues will be thrown off, and new
material will be added until the lungs
are we'll and perfectly strong again.
This is the thing that DR.. Pierce's Col
den Discovery does. This is what
makes it cure 90 per cent. of all cases
of consumption where it is taken ac-
cording to directions. 1t searches out
disease germs wherever they may be
in the body and forces them out Of the
system. It supplies the blood with
rich, life-giving properties. 1t makes
the appetite good, digestion perfect.

and continued the flight.
Walker then entered the buggy of
William Michaels, who was following
the chase. They continued after Dan
iels, but their horse was not speedy
enough. Losing sight Of the fleeing
pair, they were compelled to give up
Constable Rivera, who had arrived on
the scene.
When about six miles west of this
city they found Hawley and the rig at
a farmhouse, where Daniels had aban-
doned them and continued on across
country on foot.
Rivera brought Hawley to this city.

hasty examination disclosed the fact
that he was shot in the hack of tho
head just above the right ear, the ball
passing through the brain, emerging
at the right temple. Hawley will not
live twenty-four hours.
A warrant has been issued for
Walker and he will be placed under ar
rest and confined in Jail for safe keep
