DON'T BREAK DOWN

Severe strains on the vital organs, like strains on machinery, cause break downs. You can't over-tax stomach. liver kidneys, bowels or nerves without serious danger to yourself. If you are weak or rundown, or under strain of any kind, take Electric Bitters the matchless, tonic medicine. Mrs. J. B. Van de Sande, of Kirkland, H., writes: That did not break down, while en- during most severe strain, for three months, is due wholly to Electric Bit ters. Use them and enjoy health and strength. Satisfaction positively guar anteed. FOG. at Hestsrly Drug Store.

COMPLAINT AGAINST A LUNCH
ROOM.

The proprietors OF the Opera House
appeared in the Police Court this morn
ing as the compliments against the
men who conduct the lunch room on
the first floor OF that building. The
showmen alleged that the smoke from
the kitchen assembled TO the dressing
rooms and auditorium and that 1t was
offensive and made some Of the attaches
sick. 1t was also suggested that smoke
ascending while performances we're IN
progress was likely to cause panic, in
which event serious results would follow.
Officer Young and Feguson testified to
the nuisance caused by frying meats
and said much OF the smoke a day or
two ago was caused by allowing a piece
of meat to burn on the stove. Accord
ing to their evidence, the smoke could
be cut withla knife. Justice Cation dis
missed the charge after ordering the &C
cused to device some means OF abating
the nuisance.

features OF the most exciting runaway

The animal. which was attached 70

four miles west OF Luray, when It took
fright at an automobile. The amman
started at a terrible gait toward inc

traced the route it had taken when

a satisfactory ferry service is great

living in the vicinity OF Alexandra
whose business takes them to Washing

number OF Alexandrians are employed
at the steel works a short distance above

ed TO be allowed to go home and make

Mangold was imprisoned IN lSOo LOT
shooting his oldest son. The father
said his son had given him sound
thrashing with hickory stick, ana
that the shooting was in self-defense.,
Attorney Adams, who represents the
aged prisoner, says in outlining the
peculiar case, that investigation shows
that many years ago Mangold built a
number of cabins on the mountain SIDES
and in the valleys owned by him, and
offered a COW and small plot OF land
to any woman who could come and
occupy it and keep off trespassers.
About twenty women responded
and many OF these with their children
are now living on the estate, no secret
being made OF the parentage OF the
children. There are fifty-two OF these
latter, and Mangold besides is the
father of four legitimate children by his
first wife, who is dead. He desires, 1t
is understood, to give each OF his 56
children certain part OF the property.

Business ability combined with a
thorough knowledge of the shoe
business has crowned the new de-

needed. The long-felt want has
been supplied and the above firm is
reaping the full benefit Of it. Among
the many excellent grades OF shoes
none are better for wear or show than
