AFTER THE GRIP?WHAT?
You thought you had the best
of the grip and you determined
v to wear it off; but somehow it
^4^ *does not wear off as you expected.
You pass restless, sleepless nights
and get up in the morning feeling
more exhausted than when you
retired. You are irritable and
nervous and have no appetite for
food You go about it in a listy
' less, halfhearted sort of way, and
everything you undertake to do
seems to go wrong. Do you know
that you are on the verge of nervous
prostration? You need help;
and you need it more now than
you did when the grip was at its
worst.
Dr. Miles' Nervine is the best
t medicine you can get to build up
your shattered nerves and restore
>your wasting strength. It 111
variably insures sound sleep and
gives the overstrung nerves their
natural rest. It makes the appetite
keen, facilitates the digestion,
gives healthful vitality to
.the nerves and restores health,
v ^ 4,I was nervous, restless, irri*
table and altogether out of sorts.,
4ft It. was impossible to get my
natural sleep and I became so
weak and exhausted that I could
not leave my bed. Finally 1 commenced
taking Dr. Miles' Nervine
and I began to improve
from the, first dose. In a short
time my health was completely
restored."

LANCASTERr
Husband and Wife Shot Down by
a Dispensary Constable.
On Saturday night, about
o'clock in 4 nubia, the State,
Capital, a v ' plorable shooting
all ray too ^loce, in which a
man and hie wife wore shot down
by a dispensary constable. The
sad affair occured just across the
street from the Governor's Mansion.
The following account of the
tragedy ii taken from the Columbia
State, Sunday, Feb. 20 :
The people of Columbia were
much excited last night to learn
that Mr. John Stuart had been
shot in his own home by dispen
sary constables. Mr. Stuart has
for a number of years been employed
as a salesman in Mimnaugh's
clothing store, and he has
a number of friends in the city
and in Lexington, his native
county. The report that lie had
been shot naturally created strong
feeling against those who had
committed the deed, and was
made.a hundred told more bitter
because of the fact that his wife,
too, had been shot in (lit* door ol
their home. The cause of the
whole all'air seems to be that
Mr. Stuart was accused of running
a blind tiger. This is quite a
revelation to those who have
known him well. His employer.
Mr. J. L. Mimnaugl), Mr. M cSoi j
lev. Head salesman in the drv
goods store, ami Mr. Bennett,
head salesman in Hie dothim:
store, all speak in tlie liiglie-t
terms of Mr. Stuart. They were
shocked to hear of even a snspi
cion against him, and, ;iv were all
I he employees in Ihe store, were
grieved to hear ??l tiie s.t.l ami j
nil tort n nato atlai r.
Mr. Stuart's wound' are n<>t :
necessarily dangerous. I lie hail,!
a 44 calibre, entered hi> month,
knocking out three teeth on th *
upper left jaw, tic thmugn
his tongue ami nut ol the bark >'
his neck.

ami to the right of the tell nipple,

l>r. I.. B. Owens, who was the
first physician siimmnmui. It was .
apparent from the very lirst that
her condition was very dangerous.
At ll o'clock she wa< removed to
the hospital, where she was attended
by I>rs. Taylor, Owen*
and Duhose. Iter recovery is re
garded as almost hopeless, as an
exceedingly difficult and danger
ohm operation was performed.

Mr. Stuart was Uliatile to make a
statement, as he was shot in the
mouth. Mrs. Stuart in.ni.
the first re?ogni/.ed to he in a
very dangerous rnmlittoil. hii*I
the physician refined to lei anv j
one see or talk to her. She was:
so weak that she could teI.I no I
coherent story of the ho?ri-ble
affair.
The only eye witnesses were .
Israel, a deformed Negm, who
cares for Mr. Stuart's horses, and
Mr. Stuart's oldest child, a grl of
12 years. Putting it all together,
it appears that Constables <'ole (
man, Dorn and Crawford went to,
the house about 0:30 o'clock t<
search tlie premises for whiskey ,
said to lie there. Mrs. Stuart r< - ,
fused to let them search the house,
and s nt for her husband. When i
Mr. Stuart arrived he was verv
I
much enraged, and positively re i
fused to let the premises be .
searched. Crawford is then said !
to have slapped Mr Stuait's face,
and the altercation ensued. So
tar as can be learned none of the j
other constables used their fire |
arms. |
The constables were accompanied

Stuart said he didn't run a
^Idind," and that tlie constables
couldn't search the house unless
they walked over his dead body.
Crawford said he would if he had,
to kill him or burn him up in his
house. They had some words
and Crawford struck Stuart twice
with his fist. Stuart fell and
Crawford struck him twice on the
head with his pistol About this
time Mrs. Stuart came out and
rushed in between the men ami
s.lid: "Don't kill my husband."
Crawford kept on throwing hi*
pistol around. One of the eon
stables with sandv hair told Craw
ford not to slim J, but he fired.
Mrs. Stuart fell at the first shot
to her knees and said "you have
killed me" Crawford shot over
her shoulder and shot Mr. Stuart \
in the month. !>y this time Mrs !
Stuait grabbed a bucket of water
and threw it over Crawford. Mr.'
Stuart fell next to a table. Mrs
Stuait said "you have killed my
