tai Strain.
DR.. Miles Nervine Gave
Back My Health.

1t is not always severe manual labor that
breaks down the health. Mental strain,
worry, anxiety, the cares Of business or the
home, haye an equally strong tendency
towards undermining the nervous system,
upon whose vitality the health Of the body
depends. When you find yourself unduly
fretful, anxious, easily excitable; when your
sleep is troubled and you can get no rest; il
you have frequent he adache, are losing your
appetite and are getting thin, you should be
gin at once a thorough course OF treatment
with DR.. Miles Nervine. There is no nerve
tonic so good, SO sure, so safe. 1t speedily
restores the weakened nerves to healthy
action, and builds strength and tissue.
81 was raised on a farm at hard labor, and
when left the farm and began preaching.
the change of occupation and excessive
study shattered my nerves and impaired my
memory. 1 began taking DIR. Miles Restor-
alive Nervine, and after using two bottles L
could see decided improvement, and con-
tinued until had used nine bottles, when 1
considered myself completely cured. That
was seven years ago SO that know my cure
is permanent. My health has been excellent
ever since. i am glad to add my testimony
to the merits of this wonderful restorative
and trust that other sufferers may receive the
same benefit from its use that have."-RKv.

Interesting Legal Contest Over
Paducah Engineers Estate.
His Mother and Alleged Wife Both
Trying to Become the Ad-
ministratrix.
TODAY IN INDIANA.

The fate of the now famous case of
Flora @. Duvsll, alleged widow and
administratrix OF Reginald Duvall,
the Paducah engineer who was killed
by southern freight train last spring
in Indiana, and for whose death suits
for damages in the sum OF $4,000
each have been filed by Flora Duvall,
and Mrs. M. 4. Duvall, the latter Of
Paducah, mother of the deceased. will
be settled in the Dubois Circuit Court
at Jasper, Ind. today when the ques-
ton Of which administratrix shall pre-
vail will be argued.
About three months ago the case
took new phase in the Federal Court
in Louisville when the deposition of
Flora Duvall, concerning her marriage
to Reginald DuvalI, was taken, in
order to put her on record.
Attorney Matt O'Doherty, represent
ing Mrs. NJ. K. Duvsll, warned Flora
Duvnll that il she swore she was the
wife of Reginald Duvall she would do
so at her peril, and that he stood
ready to prove that she had never been
married to him
The deposition was TAX en-, however,
and will figure in the trial at Jasper
today, which promises to be . very
bitter legal war. Mrs. NJ. +. Duvall,
who qualified as her sons admipistra-
trix in Jefferson county, went to Du-
bois county short time ago and filed
objections to the application of Flora
Duvall for papers Of administration,
thereby voluntarily making herself a
party to the litigation in the Indiana
court and subjecting herself to its jur-
isdjction.
At the same time Mrs. NJ. 4. Du-
vail has filed suit in the Jefferson
Circuit Court at Louisville, in the
capacity Of administrator of Reginald

A GARD.
Fellow citizens of Padcuah:

Fellow citizens of Padcuah:
l am . candidate for the Office of
City Solicitor Of Paducah, nominated
by the Republican party.
I very much desire to be elected to
this office. The Solicitor is an officer
who is required to consider and pass up
on grave questions Of commercial and
corporation laws for the protection Of
the city's interests, TO advise the city
officers concerning their duties when
requested and to attend to its civil
business in the Circuit court and
Court Of Appeals. I feel confident
that l can bring to the discharge of the
duties Of the Office rs much legal abil-
ity as any lawyer at the Paducah bar,
but l cannot elect myself and my de-
sire cannot amount to anything unless
the all governing power Of the people
is expressed at the polls by a majority
vote in my favor, and solicit the
vote Of every citizen of Padouah for
this Office. As the office is non politi-
cal and the discharge Of the duties al
together legal, I do no wish to over
look. or slight any person, ! ask every
citizen to vote for me for solicitor.
1 have always assisted in every wsy
that could to build up and increase
the growth and prosperity of Paduoah.
and will continue to do so whene yer
opportunity offers. / submit to you
my standing as citizen and lawyer
and trust that may have your favor
able consideration and your support.
My attention will be absorbed with
business before the McOracken Circuit
Court, now in session, until the end
of the term, and it will be impossible
for me to make personal canvass; 1
therefore adopt this means of calling
your attention to my candidacy and
asking your support.
Very Respectfully,
Sam Houtson.
