MRs.NELLIE MAKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
she verge of Mysteries, is source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such. women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
TO govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves. consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, t b e
blues, sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits Of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
IRENE irritability Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
baekache, bearing down pains.nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually, cross and snappyP III SO,
your nerves are In q shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands Of women
can testify to this fact.
Mrs. Nellie Markham, of ISL Morgan

cHAS. GARNER KILLED.

Charlie Garner, ex-city marshal
of Galena. who was last week az
quilted by n jury for alleged CON-
plicity in the murder of old man
Frick, a second hand dealer at
Galena, was shot and fatally
wounded in a resort known as the
Glover Leaf" ut Galena last
Sunday night. The shots we're
fired by a man named Edward
Jackson, who says he had to do
it. Several months ago Garner
shot Jackson, and the latter has
always been fearful that at some
time Garner would complete the
job. At any rate Garner was
armed when the shooting took
place, and when the officers ar
rived on the scene revolver was
grasped in Carriers right hand.
All this lends color to Jackson s
claim that he shot in self defense.
A great many people were dis
appointed in Charlie Garner. 1t
was believed by a great many
people that he was a very fine
man, that he was being perse-
cuted, and that if given chance
he would prove to be a good citi-
zen. But events which have
transpired since he was acquitted
of completely in the Prick case
have caused his friends to go
back on him. He was married
man.
And now little something
about the Prick case. A man
named Booth was convicted for
the murder. While Booth was in
Jail woman Mrs. Nesbit of Mi
ami was Booths only real friend
in time of his trouble and she
visited him as often as she was
permitted to do so by the officers.
The night Garner was shot in
Galena the husband of the Mes
bit woman was shot at his home
in Miami, and Mrs. Nesbit is be-
ing held by the officers for the.
shooting. She claims her hus-
band was called to the door and
shot down by two men who were
out in the yard. The officers
claim he was killed by the wife,
she hoping to get his property,
of which he had considerable, in

II was decided that tents would

Tents will be furnished next
year to old soldiers who are not
attached to Grand Army Posts.
Straw was stricken from the

ers at actual cost. Tents and

THE Hines.

The first turn-in of ore from
the Miami diggings was made
last week. The New State mine
sold car of zinc, the price for it
being Sl210.
No ore was sold from the Bax-
ter Springs camp last week, ex-
cept some lead from the Mission
and Omaha mines. The Mission
sold OIL pounds, while the
Omaha sold 1880 pounds.
A great deal OF prospect work
is going on in the Baxter Springs
camp these days. The field is
being constantly widened by the
finding Of new prospects. The
field is now proven from within
half mile OF this city to a point
three miles north of Miami. And
the width of it has not yet been
determined.
The operators of lead and zinc
mines in the lead and zinc dis
trictS do not seem to be able to
get together on the shut down
proposition. so the shut down
will probably he declared off in a
few days. Ii the shut down is
declared off, we may expect lower
prices for lead and zinc ores until
the smelters get ready to pur-
chase heavily again.
