WON BY
FIVE VOTES.

The local option election in Meade
county on last Saturday resulted in a
victory for the "wets" by a majority
of FIVE votes. At the beginning of the
campaign it was seen that hard fight
for victory on either side would have to
be made and both went into the fight to
win.
The temperance people were tireless
in their efforts to rout the saloon, but
they could not overcome the great odds
srrayed on the whisky side. About
LOO votes were cast in the election and
the close margin by which the saloon
element won will doubtless cause con-
test.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in
the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight
aud hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
G. K. Page, real estate and in
surance agent, of Corpus Christi,
Texas, says: My wife thinks a
great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills
and says they relieved the dull ach-
ing pain in her back which had
given her considerable annoyance
for over a year. They also cor
rected the action Of the kidney
secretions which had been rather
irregular. Knowing this to be a
fact I have no hesitation in endors-
ing this remedy, and trust it
may be means of helping others
similarly afflicted. "

need of passing laws for their pro-

MALOR PENRQSE'S REPORT

Azf/OA TEANh CN-aSA~ - ~
The greatest indignation was felt
BY the people of Brownsville, when
copies of the state dailies were re-
ceived this morning containing tHe
official report made by Major {.
". Penrose. commanding officer of
the three companies of the Twenty
sixth Infantry-at Fort Brown, re-
garding the outrage by his soldiers
upon the town of Brownsville. To
say that our people are indignant
but mildly expresses it. They are
simply boiling with wrath at the
efforts of Major Penrose to extern
uate the crime which he admits
was committed by soldiers under
his command. The gross misre-
presentation of facts of which he
IS guilty is simply iueXcusable.
The report, as published in the
Galveston News aud Houston Post
OF Tuesday, is copied elsewhere in
THE HERALD. 1t needs no conf
ment 10 show to any Brownsville
reader wherein it misrepresents our
people and falsely describes the
bloody outrage committed by the
murderous thugs of Major Pen
roses command. That an Amer
lean citizen, which that officer him
self informed the citizens commit
tee he claims to be, could endeavor
TO shield the perpetrators of this
foul crime passes understanding.
In marked contrast to the report
which he has seen fit to render to
the authorities at Washington were
Major Penrose's own words to
members of the committee, when
almost with tears in his eyes he
deplored the outrage and promised,
as an American, to do all in his
power to turn over the guilty
wretches to justice.
To THE HERALD editor himself,
Major Pensore said: Sir, the ar
licles in your paper on this affair
have been mild. Yet, in the
face of all the evidence of a
deeply laid plot by his men to
murder not only men but in
nocent aud helpless women and
children, which he himself admit
sd to be incontrovertible, he dares

prompt attention which Mr.. Garner
has paid to every matter relating to
the welfare of his district, the strict
