BURGLAR HAD - PISTOL
The Negro Who Was Trapped In War
ren's Store Was Bound Over TO Court
In Two Cases-He Was Armed with n
Pistol When Captured.

Yesterday when the municipal court
met at II o'clock, Mayor Waddell gave
a hearing 10 William Brown. the negro
porter at Mr.. Frank Herbst's saloon,
who was captured in the store or z.
Warren & Son, on Thursday night.
MI. A. CT. Warren was examined and
he testified to the robbery OF his cIsh
register for several night previous 10
the capture OF the thief. The thief got
more than $50 at different times.
Policeman f. ]. Grimsley testified IS
TO his hiding in the store and capturing
Brown after he had gotten into the
Warren building through the third
story of the building occupied by Mr..
Herbst. AS stated in The Messenger
yesterday morning, he secreted himself
in the store, and after Brown had pass
ed him and gone into the cash register
and was making his way out the officer
grabbed him. He was completely sur
prised and gave up without resistance.
although he was armed with a pistol.
Brown testified in his own behalf and
told a most ridiculous yarn. He tried
to play the injured innocent by saying
that he went up stairs in Mr.. Herbst's
saloon and was putting down the VIA
dows. and that Policeman Grimsley
came to the window in the third story
of the Warren building, called him TO
window put nippers on him. dragged
him down stairs to the cash register and
then carried him to the station house.
This story didn't do him any good and
as the evidence showed that he was
guilty of house breaking and carrying
q concealed weapon, he was bound over
to the superior court in bonds of $500
in each case.

Our W0gfszzzsa
Girls

Life to the most favored is not always
full of sunshine, but to the average
American girl or woman who is obliged
to work for her living. and, perhaps
to help others at home. life is often a
heavy drag in consequence OF illness.
Women who work, especially those
who are constantly on their feet, are
peculiarly liable to the development
of organic troubles, and should par
ticularly heed the first manifestations,
such as backache, pains in the lower
limbs and lower part OF the stomach,
irregular and painful monthly periods,

RESENTED BY ROOSEVELT
Administered a sofa rlexus', to stou
Abuse of the south.

Shortly after Mr.. Roosevelt had been
called to Washington by President
Harrison as the head of the civil SER
vice commission he, in company with
friends, was visiting the Army and
Navy Club. During the evening a. gen.
tleman CD who evidently had not be-
come reconciled to the south. in con-
~rsati referred contemptuously TO
tne southern people as traitors. Mr..
roosevelt kindly demonstrated and
stated the charge OF being traitors
could not be maintained against the
southern people. The gentleman IN
was not satisfied with Mr.. Roosevelt's
remonstrance n repeated that the
southern people were traitors. Again
Mr.. Roosevelt demonstrated. saying
that his mother was a southern lady
and that many of his kinsmen had en-
gagged in that war. and that the word
traitor was offensive to him. Upon the
word being repeated the third time
Roosevelt shot u with his fist straight
from the right shoulder and admins
tered the solar plexus' to the gentle
man n tongue was so glib IN de-
Houncing the south. Roosevelt re-
formed him. He has a great deal OF
reform work In his hands just now.
We wish him well.-Bonham (Texas)

my drug store and k for a brand
of cough medicine that I did not have
in Stock says Mr.. G. r. Grandin, the
popular druggist of Ontario. n. y.
She was disappointed n wanted TO
know what cough preparation I could
recommend. I said to her that L could
freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and hat she could take a bot
tie of the remedy and after giving II a
fair ria if she did not find it worth the
money to bring back the bottle and 1
would refund the price paid. In the
course of a day or two the lady came
back in company with a friend in need
of a cough medicine n advised her
to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. l consider that a very good
recommendation for the remedy" 1t is
