Having completed his inspection of
the Galveston militia organization, G
company of the Third Infantry, Capt.
Collin H. Ball, inspector-instructor of
the Texas National Guard, left today
for Houston, accompanied by Sergeant
G. C. Combs of the Ninth Infantry, de-
tailed as non-commissioned instructor
of militia. The Texas inspection will
be in progress about two months, end-
ing the last of March in Brownsville.
Capt. Ball said the Texas militia is
being maintained under a great handi-
cap; that is, lack of sufficient funds.
The state does not appropriate a suf-
ficient amount to properly support
armories and provide for proper in-
struction, and the organization conse-
quently suffers.”

"I have noticed,” says the statement
to the citizens, “several articles in both
Galveston papers where some butchers,
bakers and grocers in other cities have
volunteered to handle their goods on a
very close margin or practically cost
to hold down the high cost of living
for those who wish to take advantage
of same. I have decided to volunteer

Grand Jury Takes Up Deaths of William

jury was called in special session today
to investigate the killing of William

Petrograd, Feb. 9.—Via London.—The
duma held its, first session since Aug. 9,
when it approved the action of the Rus-
sian government in engaging in war
with Germany. It is not unlikely that
this session will be marked by events
of importance in the development of
Russian political institutions, owing to
the changed relations between the peo-
ple and the government in consequence
of the war. The session provides the
first real opportunity for the manifes-
tation of the effect of these changes,
the changes of which have been indi-
cated by recent appointments to public
office, as well as by the utterances of
the emperor and Russian statesmen.
The new spirit of the duma was re-
flected at once in the formulation of
demands for greater popular rights and
for the abolition of political and re-
ligious disabilities. The meeting was
given over to a heated discussion of
these matters and the yearly budget.
All the officers Were re-elected- It was
expected in the course of the session
the government Would announce defi-
nitely what changes in policy are con-
templated.
Members of the duma from German
families, who formerly belonged to the
Octoberists party, which occupies a
position between the Conservatives and
the Liberals, have been granted the
privilege of aligning themselves with
that or any other faction.
The speakers today included Premier
Goremykin,' Foreign Minister Sazonoff,
Speaker Rodzianko and .representatives
of each of the parties. It was decided
to permit the German members to speak
if they requested it.

Washington, Feb. 9.—Ambas-
sador Page at London today no-
tified the state department that
the British foreign office had
confirmed to him the press re-
ports announcing the flying of
the American flag over the Cun-
arder Lusitania on her recent
trip across the Irish sea. Mr.
Page also included in his dis-
patch the text of the press re-
port of the occurrence.
Fritz Wiesbach, the father of four
children, by a former marriage and a
groom of three weeks on a later occa-
sion, was shot to death last night in the
upper story of a house at 1002 Me-
chanic street. One bullet entered the
body, striking the heart.
Soon after the shooting-had been re-
ported to the station police officers en-
tered the house, only to find the dead
body of the man. While they were mak-
ing an examination of the premises and
searching for traces of the person re-
sponsible for the shooting, a woman
giving the name of Clara Holmes en-
tered the police station and* placed a
38-caliber revolver on the blotter. She,
displayed no signs of fear, excitement
or nervousness and, after giving her
name and other data to the police clerk,
entered the jail with a firm step and a
brave appearance. A complaint charg-
ing murder was signed and sworn to on
information by Sergeant J. O. Steven-
son, to whom she surrendered at the
station.
The body of Wiesbach was removed
from the scene of the killing to the
morgue of F. P. Malloy & Son, where it
was later viewed and identified by sev-
eral friends of the dead man. To a
reporter they stated that Wiesbach hac
resided in this city for the greater part
of the past three years. He has a num-
ber of relatives in Mobile, Ala., among
them four children, a mother, father

NEURALGIC PAINS
These may be felt in any nerve of the
body but are most frequent in the nerves
of the head. Neuralgia may be caused
by a decayed tooth, eye-strain or a dis-
eased ear but the most common cause, is
general debility accompanied by anemia,
or thin blood.
For this reason women who work too
hard or dance too much and who do not
get sufficient rest, sleep and fresh air,
are the most frequent sufferers from neu-
ralgia and sciatica, which is neuralgia of
the sciatic nerve.
Nutrition for the nerves is the correct
treatment for neuralgia and the only way
to nourish the nerves is through the
blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills supply
to the blood just the elements it needs to
increase its capacity to carry nourishment
to starved nerves. They have proved
helpful in so many cases of neuralgia and
sciatica that any sufferer from these
troubles is fully justified in giving these
pills a trial. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
contain no harmful or habit-forming
drugs and may be taken for any length
of time with perfect safety.

vous System,” is free to you if you men-
tion this paper. Address: The Dr. Wil-
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

Austin, Tex;, Feb. 9.—A hearing will
be held Wednesday morning before the
house committee on supreme judicial
districts on the Bailey of Harris bill
providing for the rearrangement of the
first and ninth judicial districts which
if passed will have the effect of re-
moving the court from Galveston and
giving Beaumont a new court. It is
expected that a number of lawyers will
! be present from Galveston to protest
1 against the passage of the bill in the
shape it came from the senate. Rep-
resenative Holland of Houston who is
looking after the interest of the bill
in the house believes the bill will re-
ceive a favorable report in the commit-
tee. Chairman Veateh of the commit-
tee said today that the need of the ad-
ditional court would be the principal
question he would have to settled in
his mind. If he can be, satisfied on
this point it is belieyed he will favor

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat-
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish, and
clog you must’relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body’s urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. ‘ The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels of-
ten get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
cian at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of j
water before breakfast for a few days I
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen-
erations to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
. descent lithia-water drink,

Petrograd. Feb. 9.—The Turkish

cruiser Breslau, has bombarded Yalta,

No damage was done. In response to

The text of the announcement con-

fired several shots. Four stores were
damaged, but no one was killed, or
wounded. The vessel then withdrew
