HORSE THEFT.
Brownsville Nan Charged With Stealing
Horse From Mexico

In Justice Of the Peao6 Gavito' S
court this morning. Andres zamo-
ra was charged with selling horse
to Jesus Abrego, which had been
stolen from Matamoros. Abrego
appeared as witness for the state
and stated that he had purchased
the horse from Zamora. The
evidence showed that Zamora had
made his mark on bill of sale for
two horses, but he stoutly denied
having signed for more than one
horse. He said Abrego made out
the bill of sale and told him It was
for one horse. The horse he sold
Abrego was not the horse he was
charged with stealing and of which
he said he knew nothing.
It appeared from the evidence
that the horse had been stolen first
in MatamOros and then smuggled
over to Brownsville, and that after
the officers began to make en-
quiries it was taken away again
and struggled back across the
river and is now in Matamoros.
Marcos Sanchez, deputy sheriff
was the officer who made the arrest.
Judge Gavito held zamora as
defendant and Abrego as witness
to appear before the next term of
the District Court in the sum of
$3.50 dollars each.

WHY so WEAK2
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping
Your Life Away. Brownsville People
Have Learned This Fact

When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without ap-
parent cause, becomes weak, Ian
guild, depressed, suffers backache,
headache. dizzy spells and urinary
disorders, look to the kidneys for
the cause of it all. Keep the~kid-
neys well and they will keep you
well. Doau's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them well.
J.P. Anderson, carpenter, liv-
ing in the southern part of
Corpus Christi, Texas, says:
my Kidneys have given me more
or less trouble for the past two
years. A sharp twinge of pain at
times, darting through my back,
loins and the secretions were too
frequent aud caused much annoy
ance, especially in the winter. My
son saw Doan's Kidney Pills adj
vertised and brought home box.
I used them and obtained great
benefit. The action of the kidneys
was corrected and my back has
given me no trouble since. I can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
with pleasure. -

Lost His Farm

Paris, Mo-. January 70
John &. Foreman, "a rich but
very eccentric Monroe coun.
~ farmer, lost title 10 "A fine
I20acre farm to-day through
judgments obtained without
protest on his part in the cir
cult court at Paris. \ year
ago his wife, who belongs ~
one of the most prominent
families in north Missouri,
brought suit against him for
divorce and 100000 in cash.
Foreman did not resist the
suit, and refused 10 attend
court when IL was called for
trial.
A local attorney interested
himself in his behalf, and in
granting the divorce by de.
fault, Judge Ely cut Mrs.
F%oreman's claim down 10
$1,000. The attorney pre-.
scented a bill for $500 for ser.
vices rendered, and Foreman
refused Ia pay II, asserting
that he had neither asked nor
wanted legal assistance. The
attorney thereupon brought
suit for the fee. and obtained
II judgment by Foreman's re.
lusal 10 fight the claim in
court.
Pending the divorce case,
Mrs. Foreman had been allow
ed SIS IA month for support.
Foreman refused 10 pay IT,,
and Sheriff Nolen was forced
Ia go Ia his home, seize u drove
OF fat hogs and market them,
in order 10 satisfy an execu.
ton issued for that purpose.
Foreman further refused 10
pay the $4,000 judgment rem
dered In favor of his wife, aud
this afternoon his fine farm
was sold TO the high bidder,
passing into the hands Of J..
ii. Whitecotton.
He took no interest in the
proceedings, ind would Meth
er come to town TO look after
his interests, nor permit
others to do so. He is worth
fully $4,000, and is one of the
hardwest workers and most
extensive stockmen i'm Monroe

tended the land sale, and wept
bitterly during the bidding.

Foreign Trade Has Grown
$140,000,000 in Twenty

During the last twenty years the for

Kobe has also shown great development.
In 1856 The tonnage entered was $4,000,
against $4,000 for 1906.
AT present the customs accommOda-

the demands Of the rapidly growing
trade. In order to improve these condi-
tons and 10 prepare for the future de-

MILLIONS Of BUGS
TANTALZE SAILORS
Take Possession of Ship
Few Days Out From
Havana.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1O.-Tantalized
almost TO the verge Of mutiny by a
swarm of bugs taken aboard at Ha-
vana, Cuba. the master and crew Of
the British schooner Delta, which
reached this port. had the worst ex-
perience of their lives. The vessel left
Havana two weeks ago. and the insects
made their appearance on deck by the
millions when she was a few days out.
They had swarmed over everything IN
til it was impossible for human beings
TO exist in tie cabin or hunks.
Captain Baxter, master of the Delta,
was accompanied by his wife. and they
were early forced 70 establish sleeping
quarters on deck. The crew soon had
10 follow suit. and. though the biting
insects were killed by the thousands
and swept overheard, there were thou
sands more to take their places, and
they were allowed full possession of the
quarters below deck. Even the food
was made almost unfit for use. and the
odor from the bones added to the dis
comfort of those on board.
All hands were forced to wear masks
and gloves TO save themselves from be-
ing eaten alive, but as II was all were
terribly bitten. There were also many
hzard-like creatures that crawled into
the hunks and added to the misery of
the men, who several times threatened
10 leave the schooner in the small boats
and had to be coaxed and threatened
by turn, until Captain Baxter was in
despair.
1t was a sorry and dishgured crew
