HUMANE SOCIETY MET
At the Board of Trade Rooms-Very
Interesting Session.

was an unusually interesting meeting.
Some of the officers of the city met
with us and have promised us their
aid in the work This society has a
specially appointed agent to look out
for anything that would come under
the head of 'inhumanity." This So
ciety is trying to accomplish some
thing-is working hard as few will
ing and earnest workers are able to
debut don't expect the city of Pal
estine to be revolutionized by doz-
en- or more people, and made into a
model town in a Short rnde. !. It takes
time to accomplish anything worth
while. We would like to call the at
tention of the public to the cases in
court last week, where fines were as
sessed and paid, one amounting to
over $17.00. Letters have been writ
ten to the different ministers of the
city, asking them to each preach a
sermon on the subject, "a Mercy Sun
day." which has been done in other
places. The dates of these sermons
will be announced in the daily papers.
Watch for the date and come out The
society has presented to the Sunday
school library of each church a copy
of Every Living Creature" by Ralph
Waldo Urine, and one each to the Y.
NJ. c. A. and Public Library. If every
body will give their assistance and
become members we can accomplish
great things, for in union there is
strength"
Respectfully,
MRS. HENRY WATTS,
President.

RHEUMATIC FOLKS!
Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are WeII7

Many rheumatic attacks are due TO
uric acid in the blood. But the duty
of the kidneys is TO remove all uric
acid from the blood. Its presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don't delay with uric acid solvents. y
You might go on till doomsday with
them, but until you cure the kidneys
you will never get well. Doan's Kid
ney Pills not only remove uric acid,
but cure the kidneys and then all
danger from uric acid is ended. Here
is Palestine testimony to prove it.
Mrs. J. E. Hunt, formerly of LOG
San Jacinto street, Palestine, Texas,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me
of rheumatism in the arms, shoulders
and upper part of my back after doc
tors and many other prepared rem

MAY Be LAST TRIAL
Brookbank Not Thought to
Have Attempted to Murder
RushviIIe Marshal.
A STORY OF THE CASE.

New Castle, Ind, July 4.-Charles
Brookbank, the Fayette county school
teacher, will, in all probability, not
again have to face the charge of as
sault and battery with intent to COM
NIT murder. Brookbank was tried in
the Henry Circuit Court on a change
of venue from Rush county, of as
sault with intent to commit murder,
the victim being Town Marshal Price,
of Rushville.
The alleged assault took place at
Rushville on the night of the Watson
Hall reception. Price was trying to
arrest an intoxicated man on an in
terurban car, when he and Brookbank
became involved. Brookbank testified
that the marshal was about to put his
eye out with his thumb and was beat
ing him with his mace when he drew
the revolver from his pocket and 1t
was discharged. The courts instruc-
tons were to the effect that if a man
was not guilty of any misdemeanor
and an officer tried to arrest him he
was entitled to use force sufficient TO
resist. Nine of the jury stood for &C.
quittal and three for conviction, and
the failure to acquit was a great dis
appointment to Brookbank who has
always borne good reputation.
