Weak
Women
In useforover40yearst
Thousands of voluntary
letters from women, tell-
ing of the good Cardui
has done them. This is
the best proof of the value
of Cardui. It proves that
Cardui is a good medicine
for women.
There are no harmful or
habit-forming drugs in
Cardui. It is composed
only of mild, medicinal
ingredients, with no bad
after-effects.

DEATH LOVES A SHINING MARK
Miss Floy Arnim of Flatonia Died at
San Antonio
Friends of the family of E. A. Ar-
nim of Flatdnia, who reside here, were
indeed sorry to hear the sad news
that Miss Floy, the daughter, had died
at San Antonio -Tuesday morning.
The news came as a great shock to
all.
Miss Floy, lovely in features and
disposition, vivacious, was ever a ray
of sunshine in a happy home; we are
told that death loves a shining mark.
Friends of the family, her school-
mates, all who knew her, are grieved,
the family has the sincere sympathy
of all.
Miss Floy died at the Physician’s
and Surgeons Hospital at San Anto-
nio, and the mortal remains were
brought back to Flatonia and placed
to rest at the cemetery west of that
city.

J. Clay Rabb, who no; very long
since became an empolye of Uncle
Sam at thevlocal postoffice, faced the
examiner who came up from Houston
Monday, and properly kept alive the

a good examination. His check

his appetite, his bearing or his ha-

modating, agreeable and ready to do

A truthful statement of a LaGrange
citizen, given in his own words, should
convince the most skeptical about the
merits of Doan’s Kidney Pills. If
you suffer from backache nervousness
slepplessness, urinary disorders or any
form of kidney ills, use a tested kid-
ney medicine.
A LaGrange citizen tells of Doan’s
Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convincing
proof of merit?
Jos. F. Malinak, blacksmith, Main
street, LaGrange, says: “My back
ached and I was so sore and lame I
could hardly keep going. I believe
the trouble was caused by bending
over while shoeing horses and doing
heavy lifting. I had spells of dizzi-
ness and the kidney secretions were
too free in passage, at times. I read
of Doan’s Kidney Pills and got some
at Hermes’ Drug Store. Doan’s
strengthened my back and put my
kidneys in good order.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t sim-
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Malinak had. Foster-Milbum Co.

Test Oil Well is to he Put Dowlt*
Brenliam, Texas, Aug. 18.—Machin-
ery is being hauled out to Mill Creek
bottom, nine miles southwest from
town, for the drilling of a test oil
well by the Farmers Petroleum Com-
pany of Houston, of which Charles
Allen De Ware of Brenham is the
president. Well No. 2 continues to
produce a very high grade of oil, and
yielded ten barrels one day recently.

Demented Soldier
A powerfully built soldier of the U.
S. army, in a demented condition, was
on board No. 9, Monday afternoon, in
charge of two soldier guards, and be-
ing carried west. The man was hand-
cuffed, and with leg irons, which
doubtless was necessary, as his two
guards would have had their hands
full if he had been free. The man
attracted attention here as the train
stopped by his unearthly yells, fol-
lowed by whistling that would have
put a mocking bird to shame.—Wei-

Plenty of Liquor
San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 19.—
Charged with violation of section No.
12 of the president’s proclamation,!
which forbids the selling of liquor
within five miles of a military camp,
August Limburger, former proprietor
of a San Antonio saloon, was arrested
by federal authorities late last night
and about $40,000 worth of liquor
said to belong to him was confiscated.
This is the largest amount of liquor
taken over by the government since
the prohibitory laws became effective.
Limburger gave bond in the sum of
$500.00.

Young Lady is Snake Bitten
Miss Estelle Lockmann of Orange
Grove. Texas, who has been visiting
relatives in Columbus for some time,
was bitten by a snake Sunday after-
noon while out at Cumming’s creek.
On account of being unable to get a
doctor for plmost an hour afterwards
she has been quite ill. She was walk-
ing along the hank of the creek and
| stepped on the snake which bit her be-
[ fore she could geh away from it. The
J bite was in the ankle and, although it
j caused a great deal of fever and
| swelling, the young lady is slowly im-
; proving and is not thought to be in
any danger. The snake was a water
moccasin.—Columbus Citizen,

Body of Negro Found
Brenham, Texas, Aug. 19.—The
disfigured body of Johnnie Young, a
negro aged about 35 years, was found
Saturday on the Will Buchanan farm
on the Brazos. The negro had evi-
dently been beaten to death, and at-
tention was attracted to the body by
the appearances of numerous vul-
tures. Wesley Richardson, aged 45,
and Allen Madison, aged 30, were ar-
rested and are in jail,
Willie Fodenbeck, aged 10 years,
broke his arm Sunday afternoon, this
being the third time the boy has been

Cyclone at Koerth
Rev. Father Kuratko was here from
Koerth Wednesday and reported that
a young cyclone visited that place on
Tuesday afternoon about 2:30 o’clock,
accompanied by a heavy rain. The
Catholic church was unroofed on the
north side and the roof was thrown
to the ground about 20 yards from
the building, then the inside of the
church was flooded by the rain. The
damage is estimated at about $300
with no insurance. Excepting some
damage to out-houses and trees no
further harm was done. The track
of the storm was about 200 yards
wide and did not raach far in any di-
rection.—Hallettsville New Era.

To Fight Against Kaiser His Father
Fought For
Among the forty DeWitt county
boys leaving Cuero today to military
training at Camp Cody, New Mexico,
was Willie Kozielski. His father,
Jesse Kozielski, accompanied him over
from Yorktown and called by to have
a few words with the Record and
get on the list for the ensuing year.
The elder Kozielski once bore arms
for Germany, when the present kaiser
was then the Crown Prince and one
event stands out clearly in his mind
from those days when he was a resi-
dent of German Poland. That event
was when the then Crown Prince had
him jailed for some trifling matter.
While he doesn’t speak English ex-
tra well, he has given instructions to
his son to stay in the forward ranks
with the American boys and when the
kaiser is captured to bring him a
strand of hair from the kaiser’s mus-
tache. The elder Kozielski says that
Poland is now divided into three parts,
Russian Poland, Austrian Poland and
German Poland, and he is anxious to
see the country reunited and inde-
pendent once more. He has been in
this country for twenty-seven years,
most of which has been spent in De-
Witt county, he having first been a
blacksmith at Meyersville and later
removing to Yorktown, where he has
enjoyed a very fair amount of pros-
perity.—Cuero Record, (Aug. 8.)

Two Are Killed by Gunshot
Wharton, Texas, Aug. 18.—.Toe
Tumlinson, a 17-year-old boy, is dead,
Thomas Meadows, 16 years old, is
suffering from an arm so badly shat-
tered that it may have to be amputa-
ted, and Wiley Wyatt, a negro, is
dead, as a result of a shooting which
occurred near here Saturday night.
The two young men were shot by
Wyatt when the negro fired a shot-
gun at Charley Shoaf of Fort Bend
county, with whom the young men
were riding in a wagon. Wyatt was
shot by Mr. Shoaf. The young men
came here a short time ago to pick
cotton. The dead negro lived near
Iago. Difficulties arising between Mr.
Shoaf and Wyatt over some com about
a week ago are given as the cause
of the tragedy. Following the dis-
agreement, the negro threatened to
kill Mr. Shoaf, It is said. Saturday
evening Mr. Shoaf was going to IagO'
in his wagon. He passed Tumlinson
and Meadows on the road and invited
them to get in the vehicle and ride to
town. After going a short distance
the party met a wagon with two
negro men in it. One of the negroes
was Wyatt, who immediately fired at
Mr. Shoaf with a double-barrel shot
gun. Missing Mr. Shoaf, the shot
killed Tumlinson instantly and shat-
tered Meadow’s left arm. Mr. Shoaf
reached under the seat, pulled out a
rifle and fired, the shot knocking the
negro completely out of the wagon
seat. He died a few hours later in a
local hospital.
