THE LEXINGTON DISPATCH. Wednesday, March 8,1905. Shot Proa Bis Horse. Special to The State. Wuliston, March 3?This community was profoundly shocked this evening upon learning that one of ire prominent citizens, J. T Smith, Jr, was foully murdered about a mile from town. As u*uai. Mr. Smith had ridden to bis farm, and while riding through a narrow strip of woods was shot from his horse. There were two shntri fired, which were heard by several persons, and the horse was seen coming out of the woods and was caught by a negro teDaot. The woods in which the crime was com mitted is surrounded by open fields in which were meo at work, and it seems impossible for the murderer to have committed this crime in daylight and escape. The shots were heard about half an hour before dark, and in the edge of woods not far from a tenant house. As soon as the borse was brough to town without his rider a party was made up and search begun. The body was found about 8 30 p m. There were two shots which had taken effect, one in the side of the face and arm and the other full in the face. His watch being gone, points to robbery as the motive Bloodhounds - - * I have beeo telegraphed for and every- i } thing possible is being done to locate ! - the murderer. Mr. Smith was a prominent Ma?ou, K of P t and was not known to have an enemy in the world The community is highly wrought up but there has been no rash talk so far, but there is a determination to find the criminal if possible W.

There is a beauty in health which is more attractive to men than mere regularity of feature. To be a successful wife, to retain the Idve and admiration of her husband, should be a woman's constant study. At the first indication of ill-health, painful or irregular menstruation, headache or backache, secure Lydia E. Pinkhanrs Vegetable Compound and begin its use. Mrs. Chas. F. Brown, Vice-President Mothers' Club, 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes; Dear Mrs. Pinkham:? 41 For nine years I dragged through a miserable existence, suffering with inflammation and falling of the womb, and worn out with pain and weariness. I one day noticed a statement by a woman suffering as I was, but who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's VegAtAhlpi Compound, and I determined to try it. At the end of three months I was a different woman. Every one remarked about it, and my husband fell in love with me all over again. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound built up my entire system, cured the womb trouble, and I felt like a new woman. I am sure it will make every suffering woman strong, well and happy, as it has me." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhcea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that " bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, or nervous prostration may be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E.

The accident happened at Clifton station, e^ght miles west of here, and wa3 caused by the 5r9i special stopping for a hot box and the second following so closely that the flagman had not time to get back far enough to prevent the collision. Military Supplies Needed. St Petersburg, March 3 ?In a long dispatch from Gen.

Kuropatkin to withdraw northward, which has been the gossip of St. Petersburg for the last two days.

"Of course I have reference to the all round dog and not the dog that j may be trained for a particular kind j of sport. There are deer dogs, bear doge, fcx dogs, coon dogs, squirrel dogs and other dogs that bave what we would call among human beings specialties, and, no matter hew tempting the game, they will hot depart from their training to chase only a certain kind of animal. But ? was just thinking of the all round dog?uD8 dog that will chase aoy old kind of game. I recall a dog of this i anrt, owned bv a friend of mine in """ ' " ~ *r Arkansas, and be was about the most useful member I ever saw. He was good at any old kind of game in the woods and was intelligent enough always to know just what bis master wanted bim to bunt. He ' would tackle anything, from a rabbit to a bear, and bad enough bound in bim to always bark when be struck a trail. This barking constituted the language be used when be wanted to notify his master what kiad of trail be had struck, aDd bis master would knuw quite as well as if he bad called out tho name of the thing. He knew by the way the dog barked. If he j aiertly struck a rabbit track be made but i^lle noise, and he wa? not very noisy on a squirrel's trail, though the bark was somewhat different from that used when he trailed a rfcbbit. "So the ooq yelp and the possum yelp w^re different as to each other anrt different as to other yelps and a trill-} louder than the barking on a rabbit or a squirrel trail. But let him s'rtke a ueer trail or a bear trail I?we'd, ycu would think the world whs comiog to an end. He would make more noise than a whole pack would. The bigger the game, it seem?, tbe louder be would bark.
