Mrs. E. J. Murray 500 E. Gregory
St. Pensacola, Fla, says: For years
had attacks of kidney complaint the
worst symptom being pains in my
back and hips. I also had headaches
not stand alone. Chills bothered me
and was extremely nervous. One of
my relatives had been cured by Doan's
Kidney Pills and / was led to get the
remedy at the Crystal Pharmacy, and
begin its use. was surprised by the
prompt relief 1 obtained and I con-
tinued taking this remedy until my
trouble was corrected" (Statement
given April 20. 1s0s.)
A LASTING CURE.
On March 25, 1911, Mrs. Murray
said: 1T gives me pleasure to again

Killed Two Highwaymen

From San Antonio is detailed how
ID. A. Trousdale, a Wells-Fargo ex
press messenger, on a Southern Pa
cific train killed two highwaymen
or bandits, who had held up the
train near a bridge west of Eldridge,
Texas, 29S miles from San Antonio.
One of the bandits had worked the
passengers while the other was in
the express car Instead of becom-
ing excited, Trousdale was good ma
tured and iollied the bandit who on
being thrown from his guard an in
slant, received a blow on the head,
dealt by Trousdale with an ice NAL
let. The bandit was dead.
In few minutes thereafter the
bandit who had been working the
passenger cars appeared in the door
way of the express car when he was
killed by Trousdale with the rifle
of the first bandit.
To have hereoized himself as he
did, Trousdale demonstrated a rare
presence of mind, free from fear and
apprehension, an element which
comparatively is possessed by few
men.
As announced from Houston( Tex
as, Messenger Trousdale is to re-
|ceive the standing reward of $4,000
usually given for the arrest and
conviction of express robbers, be-
sides he is to be presented with a
purse of 5000 and he is to be pro-
NOTED to higher and better posi-
|tion.

Smacks of Reactionaryism

TIE Caucasian is in full accord
with the Monroe Independent in its
criticism of the Democratic State
Central committee, in having den
led the Democracy of Louisiana to
give expression to the choice Of n
Presidential candidate by primary
election.
The Independent says: It is with
extreme regret and disappointment
that the Independent views the
failure of the State Democratic
Central Committee to order pri-
mary election for the selection of
delegates to the National Conven
lion. a member of the National
committee, and to give teh indivi-
dual voters an opportunity to ex-
press their preference through the
ballot box for the party candidate
For president. This is the progress
i've idea-proeressive Democracy
being adopted throughout the cOun-
Try in response t opopular demand,
and this committees action, to our
mind smacks of reactionaryism.
To the plea that the people have
become shrfaited and tired of pri-
maries, we must dissent. Primaries
are the result of an enforced pop
nlar demand, and the two primaries
through which we have just passed
showed conclusively that the people
do take an interest and that they
prize and are jealous of their rights
and power. People do not become
surfeited with the exercise of their
rights and powers. They know that
the non-exercise of them means
their loss, and we believe they
would have been more tha willing
to have paid the price and under
gone the trouble and annoyance OF
Its exercise in this instance.
Tn our humble opinion, we think
the progressive Democracy OF Lon
isiana has made it first mistake
Let us hope that the Legislature will
hasten to correct if by the enact
ment of a presidential preference
Iprimary election law. The people
want it."

TWO SUICIDES
One Tired Of Life and the Other
Was Short i'm His Accounts

Two suicides were recorded Wed

ing despOndent over unsuccessful
land speculation shot himself witt
a revolver at the Union Depot abou
|11 o'clock.
He was from New Orleans. He had
resided in the Parish Of Jefferson
and at Morgan City. He reached
shreveport Sunday, accompanied by
his wife and his niece, who lodged
lat No. 627 Cotton Street.
He was Of cheerful temperament
and gave no indication Of his rash
purpose.
In a letter he directed that JOS.
c.. TcIlOtle, Beauf Station, La, and
l.. S. Boudreaux, of ChocOhula, La,
be notified of his death. He directed
that he be buried in a New Orleans
cemetery. He stated. that he had
never wiIfuIIy injured any one and
asked pardon of those who he may
have injured unwittingly.
In his letter he wrote: Neither of
us have any none, but my wife will
have $1,000 insurance from the New
York Life, and my niece $1,000 from
the Travellers Insurance Company
All of my insurance is several years
years old.
The body is at Roll Osborn. It is
to be sent to New Orleans.

1t was in the afternoon that C. F.
Alexander shot himself. He was in
bed, in a room at the residence of
J. R. Old, No. 700 Crockett Street.
An officer was waiting for him to
dress. Against Alexander there was
an affidavit charging him with for
gerry. He was a bookkeeper for the
Gibbs Implement and Nchicle Com
pany. 1t was discovered that he had
appropriated about $3.50 of the funds
of this company. In a letter ad-
dressed to the public, he said:
