Ask Your NeighbOr, Hundreds of Montgomery Citizens Can Tell You
 All About It.

Home indorsement, the public expres. sion of Montgomery people, should be evi- dence beyond dispute for every Montgom- cry reader. Surely the experience of friends and neighbors. cheerfully given by them will carry more weight than the utterances of strangers residing in far away places. Read the following.
 D. Moore, retired. of 116 l-2 Monroe Street, says: At times my back ached SO across my kidneys and felt so lame and sore that 1t made me restless and unable to sleep at night. In the morning arose as tired as when went to bed. I also suffered from an annoying weakness of the kidneys. I tried many different remedies but received little benefit and no lasting good from any of them. When l heard of Doan's Kidney Pills l sent to E. G. Fowler's Drug Store for a box. When I had finished taking them the kid ney disorder was corrected and my back was so much better that I could rest we'll every night"

SCENE WAS SICKENING
ANNIsTON BEDROOM ASSEMBLED
 A SLAUGHTER HOUSE.
H. Frank ~Hornbuckle Twice Shoots Luvernie Dalton and Then Blows Out His Brains. Was . Man
 of Family.

Anniston, May 31.--(SpeciaL )--In a fit of jealous rage, H. Frank Horn buckle shot Luvernie Dalton twice and then blew out his own brains last night between S:30 and g o'clock. at the boarding house of Mrs. W. M. An drews on Noble Street.
 Persons visiting the scene say it was more horrible than the Shaw murder some years ago.
 The first known of the crime was the firing of 8 pistol three times in rapid succession. followed by tho screams of a woman, crying Send for doctor. send for a policeman" The occupants of the house secured a po- liceman and went immediately to the room on the third floor. occupied by the couple. Passing through the bod room into room used as dining room. they were mortified by the scene. Hornbuckle was gasping in the last throes of death and the young woman was lying against the wall with two wounds in her right shoulder and neck.
 As soon as assistance could be secur- ed, the woman was laid upon the bed and physicians summoned. An exam ination showed that the man was ue- yond assistance. The wounds of the woman were shot in the right s-Ae of the neck. which ranged downward: the other was on top of the right shoulder. The doctors made an ef- fort to locate the bullet in her neck but could not. The other was only a flesh wound. It Is thought that she will recover.
 From a statement said to have been made by the woman 1t develops that Hornbuckle has a wife and three chill dren in Huntsville and, although mar ried, he lived with this girl for the past three years and has threatened to shoot her a number of times for taIk- ing of leaving him.
 Hornbuckle came here Saturday from Birmingham and engaged the furnished rooms of Mrs. Andrews. He and his alleged wife seemed very con- genial and were very pleasant with the other boarders. Yesterday after noon the woman told the lady in the next room that Frank, her husband, had threatened to shoot her because she wanted to go home, and upon ad- vice the girl emptied the revolver of all its shells. The women of the house were greatly frightened when they heard the shots and the only men in the house ran for help and 1t was several minutes before any one enter ed the apartment.
 Policeman Jirels was the first man to enter the rooms and he said that it was only a short time after the shoot ing, for he was attracted by the pistol shots as well as the screaming of the woman. When he entered the room the man was stretched out on the floor gasping his last breath with a bunet hole in his head just behind and below the right ear through which his brains were oozing. The pistol which he used was a 3S-calibre and of a cheap make.
