INDIGNATION MEETING
Held to Raise Money to Ferret
Out J. T. Pomeroy’s
Assailant.
Eureka Springs, Ark., Jan. 20.
—An attempt was made to as
sassinate Jas. T. Pomeroy, chair
man board of water and sewer
| commissioners Thursday night
j about 7 o’clock as he was pass
ing through an alley, taking a
short cut toward his home, and
he is now in a serious condition.
The assault was made from
| ambush, and the assailant, who
' used a stake from a heavy trans
| fer wagon, was unseen by his vic
j tim. Several terrific blows were
j dealt, breaking the nose and
j teeth and badly contusing the
i head.
A pool of blood marks the spot
I where Mr. Pomeroy lay for
S about twenty minutes, when he
! arose and walked home in a
i semi-unconscious condition.
Friday night an extraordinary
| mass meeting of citizens was
j held and great indignation pre
vailed. A large amount of mon
j ey was raised to apprehend the:
; guilty parties.
Mr. Pomeroy, who has vigor
j ously pushed the investigation of
I the affairs of the old board of
1 commissioners, who had to be I
ousted by an act of the legisla
ture, has passed unheeded re
peated cautions of his friends
that violence would be done him.
Money and papers in his pockets
were undisturbed, showing that
robbery was not the motive.

“THE HOOSIER GIRL.
When a person or a number of
persons who try to do right, let
their manners be ever so ludic
rous, their dialect ever so un
couth, in the end they will im
press the people or community
in which they live with the sin
cerity of their motives. In the
' end they will win out. Just the
1 simple, plain and unvarnished
1 story of the struggle for success
of such people is often a pathetic
as well as humorous recital.
The above is probably an hon
est criticism of “The Hoosier
• Girl” for the reason that the
drama is a true blending of the
i funny and serious, just as repre
sented by the lives of some per
sons. The story is dramatic for
I the reason that it is filled with
i stage surprises, at the same time
it is a simple story because it
deals with only simple people,
j While not claiming to be a home
I spun story it is at the same time
true to life.

Bad blood shows itself in a thousand familiar ways.
Pimples, boils, muddy complexion, headache, backache and
a general tired-out feeling are among the more common
results of impure blood. Johnston’s Tonic Capsules purify
and enrich the blood. * J
Rhematism, gout, eczema, catarrh, anemia, Bcurvy, scrofula, etc.,
result from impurities forced into the blood with food or drink, or from
the lack of certain necessary food substances.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules are the surest, safest, most reliable, conven
ient and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood.
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and self-sustaining
qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the
bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish
ment and renewal.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high
esteem as a most reliable and satisfactdry remedy for scrofula, rheumatism,
eczema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh,
scurvy, boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney
troubles and a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many J
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer: i
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not j
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at I
our risk and be your own judge. Michigan Drug Co., Detroit, Mich.
