A Runaway Accident.

A horse driven by Miss Marie
Crixell, on 18th street, yesterday
morning ran away, smashing the
vehicle and throwing Miss CrixelI
out. She was uninjured, except fol
a few minor bruises on the arm.
Miss Crixell was just turning into
7th street from Elizabeth, going in
the direction of her home, when in
some way the animal became frigh-
tened, and Miss Crixell lost control
of him. He ran down 18th street
passing her home, near Madison and
18th streets. At this corner the We.
hicle ran into a tree at the curb
throwing Miss CriXell and the body
of the buggy out. The running gear
passed over her, but fortunately did
her no harm.
She was carried to her home
nearby.

TWO MORE BURGLARIES
REPORTED TO POLICE
Valuables Stolen from C. w. Halls
Home-Mrs. Rivadulla's House
Ransacked Thursday Night.

The residence of G. w. Hall, up
stairs at 1911 Elizabeth street, was
entered some time during Thursday
night and a gold watch, a ladies'
silver mesh hand bag, and about
$3.50 in cash were secured. Foot
prints on the floor indicated that the
intruder wore rubber-soled shoes,
making it evident that he was pre-
pared for the occasion.
Another burglary was reported last
night by Mrs. R~ivadulla, who lives
on Adams street, between 4th and
9Th streets. There was no one in
the house between five and nine
o'clock, and when Mrs. Rivadulla
returned at the latter hour she dis
covered that the house had been
ransacked. Clothes were scattered
about the floor, and a trunk had
been emptied. Nothing of value
was lost, however.
Up to midnight last night no ar
rests had been made in either case,
but the police report that they have
two or three suspects on the Hall
robbery.

AWAITING RESULT
OF BLANCO'S WOUNDS
Pedro Saldana Still a Prisoner in
Matamoros But Probably Will be
Released With Small Fine.

Pedro Saldana, who alone of the
four men arrested in Matamoros on
a charge of assaulting PanchC
Blanco in Matamoros last Monday
was not given a hearing yesterday
as was expected. He is being held
awaiting a certificate from the ply
stefan showing that Blanco is en-
tirely out of danger.
The Mexican law requires that a
prisoner arrested in a case where
blood has been drawn, must be held
until the victim is absolutely out OF
danger. At that time a certificate
is furnished the authorities by the
physician, after which action is
taken.
City Marshal Tucker Of the
Brownsville police believes that
Saldana will be released with a
small fine.

The Musical.

The musical given by the Ladies'
Guild of the Episcopal church last
night on the lawns of DR.. and Mrs
Sizelan and Mr.. and Mrs. Kennedy,
on Elizabeth street, whose homes adj
join, was a decided success. Japan
csc lanterns which were used plen-
tifully for both light and ornament
added a charming touch to the scene.
The event was especially enjoy
able since it afforded a break in the
late summer quietness. Quite a
large number attended. A small adj
mission fee vas charged and a neat
sum was realized for the BE- eft of
the guild. A very entertaining pro-
gram was rendered, in which several
talented ones took part.
Mrs. Moler delighted her audience
by rendering in a very pleasing style
two fine selections or the piano. She
was very enthusiastically a%pplauded.
Mrs. Charles Blalack made her
first appearance before a Browns
vile audience when she gave two
readings, showing real Evolutionary
talent. The applause she received
assured her success.
Mrs. Edgar l.. Hicks sang Spring
is For Love" splendidly. She an
ewered an encore with a negro
lullaby, which she sang with equal
success.
Mrs. e. G. Tucker Of Hattiesburg,
Miss, who, with her husband, is
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. S. C. Tucker,
showed her talent when she played
on the piano with a rarely sympa-
thetic touch.
Ice cream and cake were served at
the conclusion Of the program.

RHEUMATISM
A DISEASE OF
THE BLOOD
The Treatment Which Is Tfosf
Successful Is Directed To-
ward Building Up and
Purifying the Vital
EI.,sd
Fluid.

That rheumatism is disease of the
blood is shown by the fact that it is
hereditary in certain families, and that
there is a marked thinning of the blood
Immediately following its attack.
In the following brief statement are
described symptoms which every patient
will recognize and the means by which
a cure was effected in this case is des-
cribed with equal fidelity.
If you are suffering from: any form of
rheumatism with loss of flesh and
strength, and thinning of the blood, the
remedy that was SO effective here de-
serves a thorough trial.
"About fifteen years ago." says Mrs.
Rhoda Petit, of Louisville, Neb. latter
exposure to dampness and wet and being
in arun-down condition from overwork,
/ began to suffer from inhammatory
rheumatism. Both my father and
mother were sufferers from the same
disease. My right side was afflicted and
had [ no use of my right limb. The
cords of the limbseemed to be drawn up.
Often the pains would shift from one
part of the body to another and, while
they were worse in my right limb, they
were very severe through the small of my
back. There was a sensation asthough
I was being cut with knife. My limbs
and feet were swollen so that [ could
not put on my shoes. l suffered in
tense agony all of the time and when
the attacks were severe l was confined
to bed for weeks. My stomach was in
bad shape. 1 was troubled with heart
burn and gas. lost weight and my
strength was all gone.
Il took medicine from a doctor and
tried several other remedies and lini-
ments but nothing helped me until |
tried DIR. Williams Pink Pills. l had
taken them only a short time before [
could feel the new blood and after a
fair trial was able to walk. The pills
made me a strong, healthy Woman and
/ am entirely cured of the rheumatism.
/ know 1 would not be living today if I
had not tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt of price, 80 cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams
