Delicate Women

"From a thin, nervous wreck,
miserable and wretched, 1 am now
enjoying splendid health, and it is
all traceable to DR.. Miles Nervine."
MRS. MAUD B. OPLINGER,
Philadelphia, Penna.
As a rule women understand the
nature of their delicate organism,
but overlook the wonderful influence
their nervous system has upon their
general health. They do not realize
that nearly all their ills are directly
traceable to the nervous system.
Thousands of women have regained
their health and vigor by the use of
DR.. Miles Nervine.
1t restores strength to the entire
nervous system.
The first bottle will benefit; If not,
your druggist will return your money.

Check That Cod

It is a great mistake to let cough or
cold run unchecked. Aside from the I'M
pleasantness and discomfort there is
real danger in the resulting irritation of
the throat. lungs and bronchial organs,
which leaves them sore and very Suscep-
tible to pneumonia and consumption.
It is not our purpose to recommend any
particular brand of patent cough cedi-
cine. A simple, inexpensive and very eff
fective remedy can easily be prepared at
home by mixing two ounces of Glycerine
and a haIf-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure with eight ounces of pure
whisky This formula is frequently pre-
scribed and is highly recommended by the
Leach Chemical Co, of Cincinnati, who
prepare the genuine Virgin OIL of Pine
compound pure for dispensing through
druggists.
1t is claimed that teaspoonful of this
mixture four times a day will break up a
cold in twenty-four hours and cure any
cough that is durable.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. Allen. who lived
in house near that occupied by Gets
and others, but who now live in Draper,
testified as to the shooting. Mr.. Allen
said there were no bullet holes in ms

resulted had Kothiaftis missed his mark
Mrs. Allen said she was sleeping near
a window on the night of the shooting,
and was startled by the first snort, close
under the window. The second, too, was
from under the window. and possibly a
third, Then she heard shots from farther
off, another close to her window, still
another further off and then believed an
other came from under the window The
fact that she was certain the first and
second shots were fired from under her
window proves, according TO the defense,
their contention that Gets fired the first
shots.
Kothiaftis. stripped to the waist. showed
the bullet wounds and then told of the
fight. He said he had been warned of
the fact that Gets would kill him on
sight: that he had gone to Garfield and
had returned there for the purpose of get
ting his clothing. He went quietly but
had seen a number of friends of his own
and Of Gets in Bingham during the
evening. He said he was nearing the
cabin when someone fired upon him. He
did not know who it was until he heard:
Now I've got you 1 will drink your
hearts blood tonight
1t was in Greek, of course, and he rec
ognized the voice OF Gets.
This was after the first shot had been
fired, which struck him in the back of
the left arm and penetrated the body.
The second shot missed him, but he too,
had drawn his revolver and opened fire.
He thought he had hit Gets but when
another shot struck him in the breast
and a third hit him on the right hand,
he dropped his revolver and ran.
He was being cross-examined by the
state when adjournment was taken I'M
til this morning at 10 o'clock. 1t is be-
lieved all evidence will be in today or
early Saturday and that the case will go
