Refers to Message.

The message, he said, referred to
the statements reported to him by wit
nesses White and Holsenbach. These
statements were to the effect that
Gonzales had said that he had made
Tillman show the white feather twice
before, and would do it again. The
defendant said he did not fire a sec
ond shot as Mr.. Gonzales did not draw
pistol. Mr. Tillman concluded his
testimony shortly before noon when
General Bellinger of counsel for the
state entered upon the cross examina-
ton.
On cross examination the defendant
said he had reason to expect from
the moment he saw Gonzales that he
(Gonzales) would shoot when they
met. He also said he sent word to
Gonzales to come to the meeting at
the opera house in Columbia and make
his charges there, saying he did this
so he could reply to them.
The cross examination consumed
just one hour.

Talbird and Brown, the former being
on the outside, the latter on the in
side. Before reaching the transfer
station he said he noticed Mr. Con
zales down the street looking at him
very intently. He said he (defendant)
had on his overcoat, buttoned. He said
he never took his eyes from Mr.. Con.
zales and that Gonzales did not turn
his eyes from him.
He said Gonzales had on an over
coat tightly buttoned, with hands in
his pockets, thumbs sticking out. Mr..
Gonzales cut diagonally across in front
of him, and the thumb of his right
hand disappeared in his pocket. He
said he thought Mr.. Gonzales was go.
ing to draw weapon and he fired
first, saying: II got your message"

Your rIoney Returned.
If Hyomei Does Not Cure You of Ca
tarrh, w. II. Eastman Says


In advertising that he will refund t e
money to anyone purchasing Hyome
outfit who can say that it has done them
NJ good in the treatment OF catarrh.
w. b Eastman means exactly what this
guarantee says.
OF course the percentage OF cures by
Hyomei is nearly one hundred or else he
could not afford to make this unusual
offer. But ii the treatment should not
be adapted to your case there will be no
questions or quibbliugs when you 60 to
get our money.
That the beginning Of catarrh is due
to the preseI ce Of germs in the air pas
sages is now admitted by every ply
sician. 1t stands to reason that catarrh
cannot be cured unless these germs are
first destroyed. The Hyomei treatment
kills the catarrh germs even in the mi
nutest air ctlls, soothes and heals the
irritated mucous membrane and makes
complete and lasting cures in cases that
have resisted the usual methods of treat
ment.
Catarrh cannot be cur, d by medicines
administered through the stomach. by
omei is the only natural method and 1t
has made cures that seem miraculous.
An outfit costs but 81 90 and consists oil
an inhaler which will last life lime
and sufficient Hyomei for more tran a
months treatment. Additional bottles
of Hyomei can be procured for soc.
w. B. Eastman gives his persona
guarantee with every Hyomel outfit he
sells to refund the money if it does not
cure. There is no risk whatever to the
purchaser of Hvomei

Rheumatism Once Troubled Him But DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
Permanently Cured It.

NllIamS RINK H1IlS Tor Pale feOple
Permanently Cured 1t.
A fine specimen of the hardy Vermont
farmer is Joseph Chase, of Readsboro,
active and strong i'll body and mind at
the beginning of his eightieth year. A
few years ago an attack of rheumatism
caused the old gentleman much suffer.
ing but DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured
that and he is now enjoying unusual
health for one of four years. When
recently interviewed, he said
81 was not confined to my bed but I
suffered a great deal of pain. My back
and shoulders We're lame and my arms
We're so sore that I could not get my
coat on without assistance. When sat
down it was hard to get on my feet
again, and every time [ raised my arm
sharp pains shot through my shoulders
Heavy farm work and exposure i'll all
kinds of weather probably brought Oh
the rheumatism and it was so stubborn
that couldn seem to get rid of it.
Gone day | saw DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People mentioned in a
newspaper and got some. [ felt better
after taking one box and took four or
five boxes altogether. They cured me
and the cure was permanent. Irecom-
mend Dr. Williams Pink Pills to every
one who is not well, and know of other
cases where they have given good re-
suits"
Rheumatism is Il disease of the blood
and it must be treated through the blood.
External applications can give no bene-
fit that will last. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are unlike other
medicines because they act directly on
the blood and nerves. This makes them
invaluable in such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous head
ache, the after-etfects of the grip, palpi-
tation of the heart, palean sallow COM
plexions and all forms of weakness
either in male or female. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent on receipt of
price, fifty cents box or six boxes for
two dollars and fifty cents, by address,
ing DR.. Williams Medicine Company.
