DUEL ON BOAT OVER GIRL.
Assallant Leaps Overheard After
Woundlng Man.

New York, Oct. 23.-Scores of pas
sengers, including Senator and Mrs,
BENJAMIN II. Tillman OF South Caro-
lima. on the Red Star Liner Kroon-
land. which arrived today from Ant
werp and Dover, were witnesses of a
thrilling duel on the vessel. Heinrich
Miller, 30 years old, and Nicholas
Trausch 22 years old, both OF Lux
emburg, began TO quarrel over young
woman. a knife was drawn by Mil
Ter. who tried to stab his opponent.
Trausch grabbed his arm and the two
fought all over the deck. Miller fl
nally wrenched his arms free and
drove the steel blade into his oppon-
ent. close TO his heart. Then with a
shrek, Miller jumped to the gunwale
and leaped into the sea. When he
saw two llfeboats coming toward him
he started to swim from them.
For a few moments only the chase
lasted when Miller, seeing the life
boats gaining on him and ignoring the
life rings which were thrown TO him,
sank beneath the surface. Trausch
was little hurt by the. knife, which
struck a rib. Otherwise Surgeon Wig
ny said his heart would have been cut
in two.
The young woman, Mrs. Susanna
Roob was a second cabin passenger
on the Kroonland. but dlsclaimed
knowing the cause OF the trouble.

Rob Poor Blind Man.

To rob a poor blind man, well along
n years, who must grope his way
about the streets and exc out an ex-
istance by the sale Of papers; to take
every available bit Of money he has
in the world, compelling him to bor-
row the price of a scanty breakfast
and another supply Of papers, is about
the most heartless thing a burglar
can do in the way of theft.
This, however, is the circumstances
surrounding the robbery Of room No.
Of the Tacoma house Monday night,
saws the Spokane Chronicle. The room
was occupied by F. w George, blind
newspaper salesman, was robbed OF
1910. every cent Of money the old
man had. The adjoining room was
also entered and the sneak thief made
away with s47 from that place.
George, whose face is familiar to
people frequentlng Riverside and
Post. may be seen morning and eve-
ming standing with the aid Of his
cane at this corner selling the daily
newspapers. The money taken from
his room Monday night was all he
had at hand, and when he arose this
morning, he was compelled to borrow
money from a friend that he might
purchase more papers.
While speaking to a Chronicle re-
porter yesterday George jokingly
said that he would be at the corner
Of Post and Riverside night and morn
ing and that the robber can return all
OF part Of the money taken, without
fear Of being recognized by him.

BAD YEAR FOR
THE CATARRH
TELLS VICTIMS HOW TO
GET PROMPT RELIEF
An Eminent Authority Predicts Much
Suffering and Disease This Season
Gives IL Recipe Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare ut Home.

Here is a prescription which should
be valued by all who are subject to
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou-
bles and especially catarrh. While
the latter is considered by most suf-
ferers an incurable disease, there are
few men or women who will fail to
experience great relief from the fol-
lowing simple home. prescription. and
If taken In time 1t should prevent an
attack of catarrh during the entire
season.
Anyone can mix the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces. Shake well In bottle and use
In teaspoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime. Get these In
gradients from any pharmacist whom
you know handles only pure drugs.
This prescription acts directly up
on the eliminative tissues OF the kid
neys to make them filter and strain
from the blood the poisons that pro-
duce all forms OF catarrhal affections.
Relief is often felt even after the first
few doses and II is seldom that the
sufferer ever experincs a return attack
within the year.
This prescription makes n splendid
remedy for all forms OF blood dlsor-
ders and such symptoms as lame
back. bladder weakness and rheuma-
tism pains are entirely dispelled.
AS this valuable. though simple, re-
cipe comes from a thoroughly reliable
source, 1t should be needed by every
reader who suffers from catarrh.
