For a long time this old mother in Israel had been afflicted In her lower limbs and for the past few months the disease had been graually working its way into her bowels, but she wus not thought to be in immediate danger, and in her room she kept a small bell to ring when she needed attention, and on Saturday her daughter left her bitting In a chair with the little bell on the table nearby, and soon after leaving the room she heard the bell rattle and she, with Mr. Lisman, answered the call to find her lying on the floor struggling in the last throes of death, and by the time they had placed her on the bed her spirit had passed out to the God who gave it. Mrs. Chrane was a member of the Baptist church and devoted the greater part of her time to rending the Bible, and often said that her latter days were her happiest as her soul was continually bathing in the precious promises of Him in whom she put her trust. Her husband preceded her to the glory land 16 years ago.

aged about 62 years, died very suddenly at the home of his son-in-law, W. B. Jones two miles this side of Tye on Monday, Mr. McBee was well known to our Abilene people, having huuled wood here for a number of years, up to about five months ago when he was stricken with dropsy and has since been confined to his room. He was not thought to be so near door and was left sittiug on the side of his bed about noon, and Mr.

Jones was in an adjoining room when he heard something fall heavily on the floor and going to his room found him breathing his last. Deceased was a member of the Methodist church and it is said lived an honest and upright life and not only prepared but anxious to make the change. Warning. Notice is hereby given the public that the sanitary laws of the city must be more closely observed. Numerous complaints come to me from as to the condition of your I premises, and I must call your attention to the fact, that unless you CLEAN UP your premises at once, and keep them clean, you will have to suffer the humiliation of being arraigned in the court for failure to observe the sanitary laws of the city.

It Is the duty of every citizen to keep his or her premises CLEAN, and If you do not do it, we will have to try and make you do It. Cut the weeds from your premises and burn them, together with the trash of every kind, and such us will not burn In the way of tin cans, put in a box, or barrel, at a convenient place in the alley, and notify the City Secretary, or Marshall, and the trash wagon will call and take It away. Summer is right on us, and unless we have a cleaning up of our city, we may expect a great deal of sickness among our citizens. Its cheaper to hire a man to clean up your premises than It Is to hire a lawyer to defend you, or to pay a fine either. Better clean up NOW.

E. N. KIRBY, Mayor. Trusts Some people approve and some disapprove of Trusts but every man who thinks for himself, will avoid one Trust, namely: Trust to Luck, in the presence of a Tornado or Windstorm. It is much safer to place your trust in some good Insurance Company at such times, and there is none better or safer than than those represented by Motz Curtis Procure one of our special Windstorm Policies Office over Citizens National Bank.

Do You Love Your baby? You wonder why he cries? Buy a bottle of Cream Vermifuge and he will never cry. Most balifes have worms and the mothers know It. Cream fuge rids the child of and cleans the system in a pleasant way. Every mother should have a bottle of this medicine in the house. With it, fear need never enter the mind.

BARTENDER SHOOTS AND DICK BEALL IS DEAD DALLAS, May Beall, 50 years old, a brother of Congressman Jack Beall, was killed tonight by a bartender named Tom Kent, who shot him three times with bullets from a pistol. Beall fell on the sidewalk, near Elm and Crowdus streets, and died almost instantly. All three bullets took effect In the body of Beall. Persons who witnessed the tragedy say Beall was unarmed. The men had If any, words.

Kent seemed to have opened fire on Beall almost as soon as they met on the sidewalk on the north side of Elm street, according to statements obtained at the sheriff's department. Kent was taken Into custody by officers and locked up In acell at the Dallas county jail. He declined to make a public statment. The cause of the tragedy has not been made clear. It seems to have been a renewal of an old trouble between the two men growing out of a matter between Kent and a member of family.

Kent at one time filed complaint in the department against Beall and had him placed under bond to keep the peace. Sep. 7 and the promoters are going to carry out the contract.

M. Brumby, State Health Officer, returned this morning from Corpus where he attended the meeting of the State Medical Associate and assisted in the organisation of the City and County Health Officers Medical Association, to consummate which he had called a con vention of such officers to succeed Immediately the convention of the Medical Association, When asked wliat would be the general effect of the new organisation on the sanitary crusade which the States Health department has inaugurated and pushed so successfully, he smiled, and said: in the first place, it will eliminate so much from sanitary work. I hope to find the new organization a most potential factor in a continuous sanitary campaign and doubtless, in time. It will be able to assume much of this particular work that Is now chiefly Inspired and consummated by the Stale Health Department.
