TEXAS STATE OFFICER
KILLED BY A NAONAN
Comptroller Love Shot in Office
by w. @. Hill.

AUSTIN. Tex, July 1.-Frenzled by
supposed wrongs, W. G.. Hill. an ex-
ottache OF the State comptroiler's Office.
a few minutes past 10 o'clock yesterday >
morning entered the private Office CT
State Comptroller r. NJ. Love and killed
him by means of two well-directed bull
lets from a revolver.
AS Hill turned to fee he was inter-
cepted by Chief Clerk Stevens. and in the
scuffie which followed Hills revolver
was accidentally exploded. The bullet
entered Hills abdomen, causing a wound
from which he died at 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon. three hours after the death
of Love.
Hill had been an employe OF the comp
troller's office for ten years preceding
Mr.. Loves term OF office. and ne was dis
charged by Love. II is presumed that
this fact preyed on Hills mind until he
went insane. Yesterday morning he went
to the capitol. entered Mr.. Loves
private office. spoke TO him cheerfully,
shook hands and, handing him a letter
to read. sat down at the invitation Of the
comptroller.
No sooner had Mr.. Love begun 20 read
the letter than Hill sprang to his feet
and fired two shots into the body OF
Mr.. Love, one taking effect just above
and the other Immediately below the
heart. Mr.. Love screamed, dropped the
letter, and sprang toward his assassin
then gasped and fell forward. He died
within an hour after the shooting.

The Great Nerve Builder and

A Remarkable Restoration to Health
After Failures of Physicians.

A Remarkable Restoration to Health
After Failures of Physicians.
Fully half of the indisposed, weakly,
and sick people around us are victims
Of nerve troubles and unhealthy blood.
They seem to forget one Important
fact, "that the nerve regulate the
blood supply through the body" 1t is
now an accepted truth that upon the
action of the nerves depends health
and happiness. Diseased n fiabby
nerves bring on insomnia, dyspepsia,
headache, prostration, irritability, and
lassitude; these i'm due curse cause
more serious ills. Paine's Celery
Compound is the only medicine that
can bestow a full and lasting measure
of health to men and women who SUI
fer from nerve and blood troubles.
This wonderful agent feeds, noursihes,
and strengthens all the nerve centres,
puriies and enriches the blood, tones
the stomach and i~nvigorates the entire
ervou system. Miss Mary Dahl. Rich
vile, Mich, writes thus:
For two years I have suffered with
dyspepsia, debilitated nervous system,
and palpitation of the heart. had an
awful bad feeling in my stomach, and
