The Teacher Won.

Hinton. Ky, Nov. For over two
years two of the best physicians in
this part of the State have been treat
ing Mr.. L. J. Thompson, popular
local school teacher, for Diabetes.
They told him that but little could be
done to help him. He made up his
mind to try new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills. and says:
They saved me when the doctors
held out no hope. | took in all about
ten boxes. will always praise Dodd's
Kidney Pills for the great good they
have done for me-"
Many people. and some physicians,
still persist in the belief that Diabetes
Is an incurable disease. Our teacher
Mr.. Thompson, says 1t Is durable, for
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after
two good physicians had treated him
tor two years without success.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes
will surely cure any case OF Kidney
Trouble.

MORE SHELVES FOR BOOKS.
British Museum Is Adding to It's Many
Miles of Bookcases.

Although the British museum al.
ready contains more than three miles
OF bookcases another addition is about
to be made to the department of
printed books. The new building will
be five-story wing 900 feet long, har-
morizing in architecture with the Gre

situated on the north side of the
present building. 1t is estimated that
the cost will be about 81 900 900, of
which 100000 already is in the hands

have been obliged to enlarge the H.

with the constantly increasing litera.

Tragedy.
Through the vagaries of pet
mouse which had secreted itself be-
meath the upholstery of a large auto
mobile, Miss Helen Finerty, daughter
of Joseph Finerty of New York, who,
with several friends, had planned an
outing to Ardsley, was frightened into
Mysteries the other day. Alarmed by
her sudden screaming as the little
rodent, ambling about the floor of the
automobile began to ascend her ankle,
John c. McCafferty, the chauffeur ran
into fence on the sidewalk and came
near going down cliff. The machine
was smashed. Miss Finerty tainted
and was taken home. Miss Finerty,
however, may be 500 richer for the
accident, for she learned that the mis-.
chievous mouse belonged to John J.
Dooley, rich contractor, who is n
candidate for Tammany leadership in
his district. The mouse has been
trained to eat from the hand and to
do other tricks. II is the same mouse
that little more than a month ago
at picnic of policemens wives was
used to test the courage of women.
Superstitious about his loss, Mr.. boo
ley offered reward of 500 for its re-
covery.

Several pistol shots fred in
rapid succession, followed by
several more reports after an in
terval of a few seconds startled
the people of our usually quiet
town last Saturday afternoon
shortly after five O'Clock. The
cause of the shooting was a street
duel between Hon, R. E. l.. Nor
gan and Messrs. ]. L. Cooke and
Eugene MurreIl. About dozen
shots we're fired in all, only one
or two of them by Morgan, when
his pistol failed to work. One of
the first bullets from Cookies pis-
tol struck Morgan in the muscular
part of the left forearm. breaking
the small bone. but not making
a serious wound.
A personal matter, the nature
of which is not known, was the
cause of the shooting. At the
time it occurred Messrs. Cooke
and Murrell were standing in
front of the formers store. Mr..
Morgan passed by and turned
into W. D. Phillips store to do
communicating lnafew moments
the firing began, and it was not
apparent to bystanders who fired
first. After the shooting Mr..
Morgan went to Mrs. Spencer's
hotel, where physicians dressed
his arm.
The parties were placed under
peace bonds Monday, and will be
given a preliminary hearing today
before Mayor Jones.
The affair is greatly deplored
by the numerous friends of both
parties and it is sincerely hoped
that it will be satisfactorily ad-
iusted without further trouble.
