MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 2S.-There
is going to be q bitter contest over the
governorship ia Alabama after all.
Kalb has bsen making all prepsra-
tions in his power to GUST Governor
Jones. 1t was first supposed that
Kalb would attempt to be sworn In
on Inauguration day, next Tuesday,
but is now understood he has
abandoned this idea. There will
be conference of the Kslb
men on the day preceding
the day of Inauguration. However,
some radical action may then be de-
cided upon. Governor Jones says:
"Kolb's charges of fraud are absurd.
They have absolutely no foundation
aud there is not one ticket
which has not been absolutely
dIssp proved. There is no doubt but
that was honestly elected. II

[ was not elected, [ would not
hold the office. 1 did not want re-
election. 1 was forced into the fight.
would have resigned after the pres
ent session Of the legislature had not
this contest arisen. When Kolb start
ed in to throw me out, 1 made up my
mind to stay and 1 am going to stay"

lot on Houston street near the Mahncke,
the kettle was situated and the contents
were being used in replacing blocks on
to draw some tar and when the small
whole was opened, the contents run out
and down into the fire below. In a mo-
ment all was ablaze and much excitement
was caused. The loss is not much. The

Some remarkable statistics, interesting
from several points Of view, in regard to
the coyotes in California have been com
piled by the comptroller Of the state since
an act of the legislature fixing bounty Of
live dollars on each coyote scalp went into
effect. In less than year 10000 coyotes
have been killed and scalped in the state.
and nearly 100000 have been paid to the
hunters. In one county alone, Kern, ST.
0i5 has been paid in bounties Tulare
county got - $50, and Los Angeles 81, 005
No claims were presented from San Fran
cisco. but the neighboring county collected
S945
The statistics have surprised naturalists
and legislators. In the adjoining terri
tories OF Arizoua aud New Mexico coy

is generally understood that the hunters
in the territories are doing a prosperous

"But can't take the trouble to select

I'll give you an estimate of what can af-

The lady was only too glad to do her
part and more than that, she was of
course delighted to have the paper just TO
her liking So she trudged about the city
trying her best to serve both beauty and
economy.
She had excellent taste, and by dint Of
hard thought and the wear of good shoe
leather she succeeded in bringing about
some really lovely combinations of color.
Then it occurred to her that in the case OF
her more pretentious rooms she might buy
better paper if she would undertake to
put it on herself and thus save the expense

THE PINEAPPLE CURE,
1t Is Very Effective in Diseases of tho
Throat.

1t Is Very Effective In Diseases of tho
Throat.
Holy Writ tells us that the leaves of
the trees are for the healing of the ma
tions. 1t is also maintained that, if
people would confne themselves to a
fruit diet, they would live great deal
longer and die great deal happier.
This bit of theorizing comes up anent
the use of fruit, which probably saved
one person a good deal of suffering. A
lady who has for years been subject to
serious throat difficulty took heavy
cold, with the usual unpleasant symp-
toms, and very distressing recurrence
of the throat trouble ensued. During
drive, her condition became most un-
comfortable, to say the least, with con-
slant irritation, coughing and severe
pain. A halt at the grocers was re-
quested, and pineapple was purchased.
Arrived home, the pineapple was
dissected almost Immediately, and at
least one-third was eaten by the atfiict-
ed lady. The result was astonishing to
those not familiar with the action of
this fruit on the throat. Almost in
stantly the unfavorable symptoms had
disappeared, the coughing was at an
end, and in half an hour there was not
the slightest indication of what few
hours before had seemed a premonition
of serious. cold. A member of the family,
who had been much annoyed by slight
cold with some irritation and indica-
tions of tonsilitis, was Immediately re.
lieved by a slice of this delicious fruit.
The virtues and curative qualities of
the pineapple are but imperfectly un-
derstood. All persons who suffer either
from acute or chronic affections of the
throat will do well to experiment, as
the remedy certainly has the merit of
simplicity, inexpensiveness and agree
able taste.--N. Y. Ledger.
