Meridian, Miss, April H-(Special.)- Chief of Police Bludsworth has at last ob- tained a clew to the whereabouts of Ed Palmer, the negro who made an attempt to take the life of Engineer Hal East ham in the Mobile and Ohio yards last Sunday evening. The negro Is in Tennes- see. The railroad friends of Eastman are unrelenting In their efforts to capture Palmer. It is more than probable that definite arrangements will soon be made for some officer or officers to go to Ten nessee to bring the negro back. The wounded engineer is progressing as well as could be expected under the circum- stances. Unless unforeseen complications set in there is no danger of MT Eastman s wounds resulting fatally, as the physi- clans say his skull is not fractured.

 In the final disposition of this suit in the defense of which the Journal people made every effcrt to establish their con- tenton, Mir. Duke Is fully vindicated, and the last chapter Is closed in one of the most unfortunate tragedies ever enacted in Mississippi.

BRAIN-FOOO NONSENSE,

Another ridiculous food fad has been

ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind OF food is neede d for brain
another for muscles, and still another
for bones. A correct diet wi not only
nourish particular part OF the body,
but 1t will sustain every other part. Yet,
however good your food may be, its nu
triment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for their
appearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di-
gestion. stimulates the liver TO healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes YOU
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can
