ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Freddie Matthews Victim of Gun
in Hands Of Playmate.

Freddie Matthews, the 19-year-old
son of e. P. Matthews, of B avenue
west, was accidentally shot Saturday
by his 14-year-old friend, Eddie Dav-
is, while out hunting in Guthrie's
pasture, two and one-half miles west
of town. While Eddie was adjusting
the gun, it in some unaccountable
manner went off, as guns have hab-
it of doing, and shot Master Fred just
below the knee, causing a painful
though probably not serious wound.
Eddie Davis proved his worth by
picking up his injured friend and car
rying him on his back for two and a
half miles, until he had the boy at
home. Mr.. and Mrs. e. P. Matthews
have recently gone to England and
left the family in the care of house
keeper. The Drs. Hoffman have
charge of the case. The bullet has
not yet been removed from the knee.
This morning the young man was do
ing as well as could be expected.

Mrs. Campbell Speaks at United
Presbyterian Church.

Mrs. H. G. Campbell, Of Pittsburg,
Pa, a member of the Mission Board
of the United Presbyterian church,
addressed the ladies Of the church
and all other members who cared to
attend, on the subject so near to her
heart, "The Mission Work of the
Women of the Church" She came
under the auspices of the Des Moines
Presbytery. The ladies of the
church have charge of all the depart
ments of mission work in the church,
home, foreign, Indian and freedmen,
and are the direct source of support
of the medical department, field ply.
sicians, matrons and nurses. The
church ladies support all their un.
married women in the mission field
as well as their city missionaries.
These ladies edit and publish wom-
ans magazine and Junior magazine.
All the labor, both editorial and re-
portorial are freely given by the
ladies interested in the cause and
these are probably the only journals
published in America where the ed
itorial STAFF receives positively no re-
Enumeration for their labors.

OVERCOME sy GAS.
Frank Trump Has a Marrow Escape
From Death.

Frank Trump, living in Southside,
had a close call Saturday evening.
He was engaged in digging trench
to stop a leak on South Market street
and was overcome by gas. When
discovered by passing delivery boy
his jaws were set and his body was
rigid. Mrs. H. Aldridge and Mrs. F.
w. Glaze rendered all assistance pos.
sible until the arrival of Drs. True
and Homer, who at first gave the
man up as dead. He was carried
into the Glaze home where restora-
tives were applied, and to the sur
prise of all regained consciousness.
In a short time he was able to be re-
moved to his home. He is all right
again now, though a little weak from
the experience that came near cost
ing him his life. Mr.. Trump had
been at work near the leak for some
time, and as the ditch was narrow
had inhaled more Of the gas than he
was aware of. When he swooned
he fell in such way as to breath
more Of the gas. land when found
was nearly gone.

NO POLICE PROVISION,
Board Of Supervisors Enforces Law
on Election Bills.

The board OF supervisors at IT'S re-
cent meeting, refused to allow the
bills presented for services OF the
special police appointed for. several
polling places IN the county, mostly
in the cities and towns or larger pre-
cincts. 1t has been the custom OF
the county to allow the bills for such
service on general election days, but
the payment OF said bills In the light
of a recent decision Of the supreme
court is wholly without authority
and is Illegal Neither Is the pay
ment Of said bills by the city or town
in which the precincts served may
occur with authority and the allowing
of claims for service is illegal.
The special police have been ap-
pointed Tor duty at the polls upon
election day, but the payment OF
claims for such service can not be
collected from city or county unless
special statute provision for the conn
pensation is made.
Code Section No. 1926 authorizes
the city to employ special police at
elections to provide against viola
tions Of the election laws, but it does
not make the city or the county la
BILE for the services Of such special
Officers.
Code Section No. 1929 is the only
section that could be construed as
touching upon the matter and this
does not mention the question Of re-
enumeration. 1t only declares that
expenses of providing election booths,
guard rails and ''other things" re-
quired for elections, shall be paid in
the same manner as other election
expenses and it is helu by the SUI
preme court that this does not make
the city or the county liable for the
payment of the claims for special
police.
Hence the county board in Tefus-
ing the claims presented for police
service is only acting in accordance
with the finding of the supreme
court interpreting the law.
The court states that the payment
of these claims seems not to have
been provided for under any section
of the code and thinks that possibly
the omissions referred to are due to
an oversight on the part of the legis'
lature. If so, it is not the province
Of the court to supply them" The
court holds that the word employ
embodied in the section of the code
does not carry with it The idea OF
compensation. This conclusion is
strengthened by the fact that the
code also neglects to fix the rate OF
fees or wages to be allowed for such
special police service referred to
when it is very particular to specify
and to fix rates and scales in other
particulars.
That compensation should be Civ
EN- where special police service, as
referred to, is necessary and is rem
clered, is not to be denied in any
sense and the failure to designate
the payment for such labor is evi
IDENTIFY an omission on the part OF the
legislature in the framing and the
adoption of these sections of the law
1t has not been the desire nor the
intention Of the county board tc
combat any party or individual in the
recent action of refusing to pay the
claims. The board is acting only as
the court contemplates.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
of.
Headaches as rule, result from a dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
"I have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for number of years. About
every week | would have a bad spell of sick
headache, but since began using Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
I do not have any more headaches. | feel
better than have for years.

Y Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT r1EDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound
| Am Now in the Best of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr. Alfred Brown, OF
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound / had,
during the years Of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several of
the best doctors Of this city, hoping TO find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
q was getting worse, and was told was
incurabe. was indeed in a critical condi-
ton. could not go from the house alone,
as | was liable to sudden collapse. I tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. / could not sleep; anything that
/ ate increased my agonies; | was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged TO walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side TO ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination TO vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
eAfter the regular use Of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, am now in tie best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind Of food. Thank God / am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound.
