some one explained.
"Wkere?"

He didn't come to the Office at all to-
day. When the people come for their
mail after the New York train got in
he wasn't here. Hank Rollins always
brings 1t up on the stage, and as he's
passing, throws it off on the board
walk and the postmaster comes out
and gets it. Nobody ever goes for
their mail for a few minutes after
that, to give him chance to get it

lying right over there. l went into
the office to tell the postmaster about
it and kind of have little fun with
him, and bless my soul If there was
hide or hair of him to be seen any
where. Looking through the boxes,
could see that the back door was
standing open, and l went around
there and looked, and l couldn't see
anything of him, either. 1t didn't seem
right for the mail to be lying out there
on the sidewalk, twas like taking un-
due liberty with government property,
so l dragged the sack around and flung
it in the door and went looking for the
constable. Then l heard about the sui
eide and the inquest down to the hotel,

FINAL RESULT Of

If you need strength, ii your blood is
thin, your digestion disordered, it will
pay you to investigate the merits of DR..
Williams Pink Pills, the remedy that
has transformed SO many weak, ansemic,
dyspeptic, ambitionless people into
strong, healthy, hungry men and
women.
Mrs. Lena May Roberts, whose adj
dress is r. F. d. No. 8, Aberdeen, So.
Dakota after several months of suffering
finally found the right tonic in DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. She says:
'For months after the birth of my
baby, suffered terribly from general
breakdown in health. Twas in bed for
three months and after that was able to
be up only part of the time. | was

head ached most of the time. Often
times there seemed to be rush of blood
to my head and l would faint away. l
was very nervous and was not strong
enough to do any work.
GAS the treatment / was taking did
not help me, began to take DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, which a friend said
had helped her. After taking a few
boxes, I began to get well rapidly. I
continued using them for time and
am now as well and strong as ever in
my life.
The value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in general debility lies in their direct re-
spouse to the needs of the blood. Their
work is to make new blood. That they
do this well is shown by the gradual
disappearance of the symptoms and
the return of color and health. They
lay the foundation for permanent health
in the future.
For the same reason these pills have
cured an@mia, after-effects of the grip
and fevers, rheumatism, indigestion,
anG nervousness, dizziness, neuralgia
and st. Vitus' dance, and are recon-
mended wherever tonic for the blood
and nerves is needed.
A valuable booklet, Diseases of the
Blood" containing fuller information
about rheumatism and other diseases of
the blood will be sent free upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

Free Trip to Worlds Series

Thomas McDermott of this city is enjoying a trip to the Worlds series base ball games in Boston and New York this week at the expense of a Boston newspaper.
 MT. MeDermott distanced all the fans in New England in the race for the honor, getting more votes by a couple of hundred thousand than his next nearest competitor.
 The winning of the trip means a whole lot of pleasure for Mir. McDeI- mott and an equal amount of satisfac- ton for the scores of friends in many parts of New England who collected and contributed ballots. With the part in which he is entitled to be rated as the royal rooter he will travel be- tween New York and Boston, where the games are to be played on alternate days, in Pullman cars, will have the best seats that money will buy at the ball grounds, and as to entertaining, the sky will be the limit. The win- ners of the contest are to have every thing going and lots of it.
