 ment, coming from so high an authority, should have made profound impression among the leading physicians and scien! {! lists of Europe. and it brings into special prominence the recent discovery of pre- digested starch food known to doctors, to scientists and the world as Paskola. Com paratively few people outside the highest medical circles know of this wonderful discovery, but it is known to possess the qualities of flesh forming, strength im' parting life giving power which has never been known before in the history of the world.
 Tests have been made upon patients in weak, pale, rum down condition, accom- panied with indigestion and general loss of energy, and the results are truly remark able. It really looks as though this newly discovered food, Paskola, will take its rank as the most efficient flesh producer and cure for dyspepsia of the nineteenth cen- tury. It is certainly superseding cod liver oil and the fatty preparations which have been used so extensively, and this but con- firms the wisdom of the judgment of those who predicted for it unequaled success.
 h the treatment of disease, as in all else, ''The proof of the pudding is in the eat. ing." The Rev. A. r. Beebe of Worth have been benefited by this ingenious and valuable preparation. He writes, under date of April IA, 1894, as follows:
 ''I can truly say it is a pleasure to give to the world a testimonial in regard to Paskola, for it has certainly accomplished wonders for myself and wife. We have taken A. 50 worth, less than the price of one visit from our physician, and it has done for us what no doctor'e prescription or patent medicine has ever done. For twenty five years I have suffered untold miseries through a disordered stomach. For years have had to abstain from meats, but after one dose of Paskola have eaten meat or any other food my appetite craved, with no evil results.
 sIn regard to my wife hardly know how to write. It certainly appears like miracle. Months passed with her with no appetite, and so reduced in flesh and vital- ity was she that we were looking for noth- ing short of speedy death. But Provi- dence appeared in the shape of little pamphlet tucked under the string of a package brought from neighboring town remark, Here, wife, is something to cure your ills and give you an appetite.' She read it, and said to me, T have faith to be- lieve that if had that Paskola it would help me- The next day 1 secured bottle, and she began taking it. That was four weeks ago. Today she can eat anything she craves, something she has not before done in months.
 ''I regret we did not weigh ourselves be- fore we began to take Paskola, but the truth is that had no great faith in it, so many things had failed, but you have won our lasting gratitude. You can make such use of this testimonial as you wish. I send it for the simple reason that have the good of my fellow men at heart.''
 Such words as these carry conviction. g

OVER THE STATE.
Happenings and Sayings Clipped From
 Alabama Exchanges.

Dale County Standards: Cotton has been considerably injured by the rains. With this fall off in quantity and the low prices, it makes things look pretty blue indeed.
 Wilcox New Era: Congressman J. F. Stallings was in Wilcox several days last week. He found the party camp fires burning brightly all along the lines in old Wilcox.
 Guntersville Democrat: Sol Bodine of Brown s valley says that there are twenty acres in corn on the Tom Williams place. owned by R. N. Bell, that will make 1000 bushels.
 Oneonta News Dispatch: We are sorry to hear that typhoid fever is prevalent ia many parts of this county. There have been several cases in the vicinity of Walnut Grove, some of which terminated fatally.
 Guutersville Democrat: Johnnie Lewis first new bale of cotton sold this season at Guntersville. It was raised in the valley on the north side, and was sold to John A. Webb at 6h cents. It graded mlddling and was shipped to Love & Co. at Chatta- nooga, for which firm MT. Webb is buy ing.
 Opelika Industrial News: The Jeffs having nominated Senator Goodwyn to oppose Judge Cobb, the voters of the Fifth district may look for some lively politics. It has long been conceded that MT. Goodwyn is the brainiest man in the Jeu CHLnp pb hHQ WdaEb Cl6au lluin. Ou Luo other hand, Judge Cobb is considered one of the sickest politicians in the state and can bring down more game on still hunt than anybody.
 Opelika Industrial News: That was @ well-rounded and well constructed "essay' recently written by Editor Lane and dedi- cated to the Montgomery Advertiser. It is now in order for Editor Jelks to send Lane a chromo for the masterly manner in which he handles the queens English, and for the Advertiser to send him a blue ribbon for the stbest gated and best all round movero on the Aladama press track. Editor Lane ought to write political lec- ture and star the state.
 Lafayette Sun: The case of the state vs. Joe Spence, charged with the murder of his wife, came up last week. Joe was repre- sented by J. Thomas Heflin and W. J. Robinson. They spoke in defense of the prisoner for one hour and a half, and were congratulated by many friends for their strong appeal for the life of the prisoner. The jury returned verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree. The defend- ants neck was saved, and he was sent to the penitentiary for twenty five years.
 Thomasville News: Abe s. Bauer, travel ing salesman for Lowenstein Bros. of Mo- bile, had a narrow escape from watery death at Prairie Bluff, on the Alabama river, in Wilcox county, last Monday morning. He was on an overland trip in a two-horse conveyance. When the river was reached the two horses, with MT. Bauer at their heads, went on the flat boat, and as they did so the rope broke and the boat, with only MT. Bauer and the horses, started down the river. With wonderful presence of mind MT. Bauer drew his knife and cut the horses from the harness and they were saved. The wagon, with two large trunks of sample shoes, went into the river.

A JUBILEE CELEBRATION.

Fifty years is long time-much more than the average lifetime. Men, there- fore, naturally note such periods. Just now Messrs. Perry Davis & Son of Provi- dence, R. l., the proprietors of Pain Killer, are celebrating the jubilee of that good old household remedy, and have doubled the capacity of their bottles with out increasing the price. This will of course make Pain Killer more popular than ever. For fifty years it has been the family medicine chest in coun tless homes in every country on the globe. Once given a trial, it stays in any home, where. when anything happens, the bottle is reached for.
 When one reflects that two years is the average life of patent medicine, these fifty years prove very plainly that if Pain- Killer had not been all that 1t claims it would have gone into oblivion long years ago. The old limitations of Pain Killer have gone the way of all substitutes, and the newer ''just as goods'' are following on, for as long as some things are recog- nized as better than others Pain- Killer will be recognized as the best and quickest relief for internal or external pain.
 When anything happens to you or yours, nine times out of ten you can. cure it your self with Pain-Killer. 9-7-eod lot

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Since the Dromios of Ephesus and Syracuse and their masters were made the great clements in the "Comedy of Errors' the idea of twin brothers has been utilized in many drama. But seldom, if ever, have veritable twin brothers been seen as stars in one performance, but this will happen next Saturday afternoon and evening at O'Brien's opera house, when Willard and William Newell will appear in the great sensational drama, "The Opera tor." The Newells are said to be mar velously alike, and this is made the most of in the story. The play is said to be much stronger than that type of drama usually is, and though abounding with scenic effects is not dependent on them for success.
 The scenic and mechanical effects are ex- cellent, and the wreck of the engine and trestle is away above, for realism, any, thing of the kind ever seen in the city. The ship scene is a decided novelty and said to be very effective. Space at this time can not be spared to describe the plot, and it is only necessary to say that it affords the Newells many opportunities for good and strong acting, which they make the most of. MT. Willard Newell was for merly connected with the Thomas Keene company as leading man, and was success ful in many roles. His brother William has not had so much experience, but does quite as clever work.

The March of Advanced Science
 Throughout the World
AND ITS VALUE TO US
A Declaration Made by the Great Doctor Fothergill for the Benefit of the People of the World Has Aroused Much Attention.

LONDON, England, September.-The fol- lowing statement. made blythe late Dr. J. Milner Fothergill, the eminent scientist, who was physician for the London hospital for diseases of the chest, has made quite a sensation. After deuouncing oils and sim liar substances when used as food, he said: "Fatty, oily foods cannot be taken by those whose stomachs are weak or whose whose digestive organs are out of order. What food should such people have7 say they need food which acts as a strengthener and snstainer, as fuel to feed the lamp of life, and that is starch food. A soluble starch food which will be readily assimi- lated by the digestive organs is the food for people whose digestive organs are weak. ''
 It was only natural that such a state.

KING CORN.

The New York World has received re- ports from 300 correspondents in the great corn growing section of the West, which indicate that the crop is cut short by the drouth fully one,third, the yield now be- ing estimated at 1900, 900, 900 bushels. It is noted that the biggest crop raised by any country is corn, and nearly all of 1t 1s raised in the United States. Our couutry's yield in good year is ?, 600, ,000, GOO bushels of this staple, and has produced more. At the average market price these 9, ,0O0, 900, 900 bushels are $1 ,OO0, 1000, ,000, or about ten times as much as the gold production of the whole world for year. It would pay the entire public debt of the United States. The Worlds reports cover the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ken- lucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota.
 These twelve States include the great corn belt of the United States, and In an average year produce about 75 per cent of the crop.
 The South has been blessed by good corn seasons, and her yield of this year is the greatest she has enjoyed since the war. These latter States are not yet listed as corn sellers, but they have always been great corn consumers and this year will draw their supplies from their own barns, and be encouraged to go on year after year in the good work of corn planting until they can take rank with the great American corn selling States. The Southern planter is now "living at home and boarding at the same place.''

GOLD IN DEATH.
The Remains of Harvey Robbins Found in Drift in Little Warrior.

Yesterday morning about one and one- half miles from Little Warrior station on the Georgia Pacific railroad the bloated body, cold in beath, of Harry Robbins was found where it had drifted up into a clump of bushes.
 Robbins worked at Little Warrior and lived across the river. Owing to the fact that the river was very low he had gotten in a habit of wading the stream in going to and from his work.
 On Tuesday night it seems he attempted to ford the stream, but stepped into deep place and no one being near enough he be- came frightened and drowned. His body was carried on down the stream and rescuing party was formed and searched for it.
 Yesterday morning George Leivey, farmer, saw the body of the drowned man lodged in clump of bushes and took it from the water.
 Robbins left a wife and five children. His remains were buried yesterday alter noon.

MEANING OF THE JAPANESE VIC
 TORY


 The great victory won by the Japanese over the Chinese at Ping Yang will prob- ably prove the decisive battle of the war. It is the most important battle fought among the Asiatics in 300 years. It is something of a coincidence that about 300 years ago battle was fought in Northern Corea near Ping Yang between the Chinese and Japanese, in which the latter were vic- torious. At that period China was ruled by an Emperor who was beloved of his people and had but few enemies. Quite different is the condition today. The great bulk of the Chinese are not in love with the reigning dynasty, and internal dissen- tions are imminent. In this condition of affairs it is not improbable that the Japanese army may march through the heart of China to Pekin, as small Euro pean and American army did but few years since. It is not improbable that China will soon open up negotiations for treaty of peace with her victorious enemy. The Chinese are great diplomats and pride themselves more on their victories in peace than in war. Such treaty will mean the independence of Corea, for which the war is being waged, and indeed China will make no great concession in acknowiedg- ing Corea's independence, for it is nothing more than she has done by silence in years passed. China will be compelled to make almost any terms that Japan may demand, for the Japanese army is now master of the situation. A strong force of the Japanese army is now on the border between China and Corea, and can prevent the remains of the Chinese army from retreating from Corea, and can also stop achievements from Pekin. The important Chinese city of Moukden is not far off, and can be taken by the victorious Japs in a few hours.
 The effect of this victory may be far reaching. The Japanese have won against an enemy much superior in point of num- bers, just as Frederick the Great conquered Austria with it's great preponderance in population. The Japanese have won by adopting European methods of warfare. It seems evident that they are thoroughly or ganized and equipped. They have startled Europe by showing that there is at least one warlike power iu the East. The su- premacy of Europe over Asia has been held by the tacit admission of European supe- riority over the Asiatics. If the Japanese prove the falsity of this claim other Asiatic nations may be induced to try conclusions with Europe. In times past Europe has been overrun by the hordes from Asia, and history repeats itself.
 That Japan has won her place as a first class power is without doubt. Already the United States is opening negotiations with her for treaty on equal terms. If this is done American subjects in Japan will be subject to Japanese laws, just as the Jap. anese in this country are subject to our laws.

FIELD,S MINSTRELS,

MT. Al G. Field has brought together for the season the best aggregation of his pro- fessional career, and the entertain ment given by his minstrels last night received from the large and enthusiastic audience generous and deserved recognition. The generous reception bestowed was not, in the strict sense of the term, the result of home pride, aud for the reason that MT. Field is resident of Columbus, bat be- cause he has gathered 8 combination of artists who furnish about all that is first class in his line, aud they also have the faculty and training which puts the per formance on in an original manner, with out following out any beaten paths. The reception, however, was nothing more than it should have been, considering the merit which MT. Field has called together for what is bound to be his most successful season before the amusement public. The parade which was given yesterday attracted about as much attention as an ordinary circus, and had tendency to give fore cast of what was to be expected at night. - Ohio State Journal, Columbus.
 Fields Minstrels will be at O'Brien's for one night only, Tuesday, September 25. Keep your eye on the date and watch for the parade.

THE present cotton crop will bring low price, but 1t must be remembered that it has been made very cheaply. The planters have not been able to secure credit as freely as in former years, because of the financial depression of the past year, and they have necessarily been more economical. This inability to secure credit has proven blessing in disguise, for it has saved them from the enormous per cent they have been paying for advances, and which has been the curse of the South. As the Southern farmers catch up and get on cash basis, they begin to hold their own against the world.

THE nomination of Levi P. Morton for Governor of New York by the Republicans is probably the best nomination from a Democratic standpoint that could have been made. MT. Morton is the Republi- can of Republicans. He is thoroughly im- bued with the traditions of the party. He stands for all the party's failings. He is a machine politician and protectionist. His protection principles will no doubt cause his defeat, for New York city is largely low tariff. If the Democrats nom- mate good man they can elect him, and New York will continue to be Democratic. Only twice since 1866 has the State elected a R. publican Governor, and each time such result was due to Democratic dissensions. It gave Grover Cleveland for Governor that great majority of 192, ,S45 in 1882. Even in 1888, when the State failed to go Demo- cratic on the Presidential vote, it elected the Democratic State ticket.
