Gives Hopeful Expression Of the Bolfical
 and Industrial Outlook.
 ''Everything is getting straight and we are going to have a season of prosper ity and general rejoicing" said Judge J. R. Dowdell of Lafayette yesterday after reading the report of the action of the Kentucky democracy.
 ''The silver craze" continued the judge, twas at it's high water mark q few weeks ago. but has been gradually and surely ebbing. Kentuckys voice sounds the real beginning of the end. Other states will follow and the sound money idea is bound to prevail. Bus mess men have taken hold and the coun- try is opening its eyes to the fallacy of the 16 to 1 idea"
 How is East Alabama?' was asked of the judge.
 lover there there are many people welded to the free silver doctrine, but not so many as there were a few weeks ago. The corn crop looks beautiful; best prospects Alabama has had in many years; farmers are bound to turn this corn into meat and will win in a hog and hominy contest; they will get cents for cotton next fall; prosperity will loom upon them and we will hear no more of 16 to 1 after the close of 1895 except among populists and demagogues."
 Judge Dowdell is in Birmingham look ing after his property interests here. He is full of good cheer exceedingly hopeful, a sound money democrat, ardent ad- mirer of Mir. Carlisle and 1t is refresh ing to hear him talk.

To Out-of-Town Patients:

Since the establishment of the South- ern Medical DiBpensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in Eirming ham-as the tiles of the city papers will show-our success has been SO pronounced as to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled told reliable specialists to inn itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious pretension and heroic self-praise make capital for themselves by their questionable methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do- zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in terests and safety by first making an vestigaiion of the home character of the man that they wonld have treat them.
 If you are member of any church, or ii you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., k. Of P, or belong to any order or organization then write 10 some leader. officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, sccial and financial standing. After Going this, write 10 us plain state- ment of yonr case and inclose a stamp for reply. We will give you then our opinion. terms for treatment. etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.
 We will send in plain sealed enyel- ope our s'Book for Men" and Question List for Pc stamp; Question List for Ladies for Pc stamp

A Pleasant Trip mat cannot Be Fxcelle

"A Pleasant IT'D Inat cannot be GxceIled. It is usually the case when a traveller starts on a journey, and especially for any distance, it is desirable to have the fewest changes, all the comforts of home life, and to be able to make the trip at as little expense as possible.
 In visiting Philadelphia, New York, Boston or any other important eastern cities it is believed that these comforts and pleasures can only be found by using the Plant system, via Montgomery anI Thomasville to Savannah, thence by the superb steamers of the Ocean Steamship company to any of the cities above named.
 The Plant system runs fast double daily passenger trains from Montgomery to Savannah carrying Pullman seepers, free reclining chair cars and first-class day coaches.
 Either one way or round trip excur- sion rates as shown in tariff sheets from any of the leading cities of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana to any of the eastern cities will apply over the Plant system, through Savannah, and one great advantage the trayelef has by using the route via Savannah is that all first-class rates include meals and state room while on the steamer thus avoiding the extra expense of sleeping car fare, which would have to be paid in addition to the ticket rate if other routes were selected.
 l lie OdN dlllidIi tAAlt litt AAOii hNsNN and dust and in selecting your summer trip it is well to keep these facts in mind, and if any further informa ton is de sired communicate with Plant system officials, and tell them what you want to know.

TERRIBLE DEsTITUT1oN

In Boyd County, Neb.-If Not Relieved
Soon, Many VIII starve or Freeze to
Death.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec, 29.-For some time
past stories of fearful destitution have
come from Boyd county and various
parts of Holt, but they had seemed SO
improbable that the people here hardly
credited them. Inquiry shows how
ever, that the stories are not much ex-
aggerated. The situation in Boyd
county is bad, and if the people there
are not helped soon they will starve or
freeze to death.
j. M. Smith, who lives on what is
called the Three-mile strip, on the
state line, was in O'Neil yesterday and
he tells many narrowing and heart
'rending stories of the condition of the
people in his part of Boyd county and
says that what is true Of the people
there is also true in almost all parts of
the county. Mr.. Smith comes well rec
commended, has the Endorsement of all
the county officers, bankers and others
of Butte and there is no question of the
truth and authenticity of his commits
sion from the people of his section OF
Boyd. He gathered considerable -four
and provisions here and forwarded the
same.

SALAMANCA, N. Y, Dec. 25.-A new
sensation has been discovered in the ar
rest of man at West Salamanca, who
is suspected of being the murderer of
the Shearman's, near Jamestown, over
week ago. One week ago rough
looking man put in an appearance at
thatvillage and took up his abode with
Nell Duke, woman of ill-repute. He
attracted the attention of j. o. Spen-
GER, who kept close watch on him. On
Wednesday he disappeared, but on Fri
day returned. Nell Duke then asked to
be put in the lookup, because she was
afraid of that murderer" and she
would not take ''no'' for an answer.
She claimed that unless they put her in
the lookup something terrible would
result.
After she was locked up Constable
Drachslin went to her house to get
some bed clothing, and found the man
in her residence. AS soon as he heard
that she was in the lookup, he became
very nervous and asked to see her, but
was refused. BY this time the woman
had shown herself to be terribly
alarmed and talked constantly, refer.
ring to THAT murderer" at her house.
| The next morning the stranger, who
gave his name as George w. Depew, oi
Warren, Pa, was arrested. When
searched there were found on his per
son bunch of skeleton keys, a file and
a razor, wrapped in handkerchief
that had every appearance Of being
covered with blood and washed in cold
water without soap. He claimed that
he was on his way from Bradford to
Elmira.
Sheriff Jenner, of Chautauqua coun-
ty, is on his way to take the prisoner to

GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 29.-The fire
yesterday on board the British steamer
Masonic proved to be very disastrous
and resulted in the loss of one life and
two other persons are in critical con-

The vessel was discovered to be on fire
Thursday evening at o'clock. When
assistance was at first offered it was re-
fused, as the crew and screwmen
thought they were able to extinguish
the flames. Later assistance was ac-
cepted, but too late to save the cargo.
The vessel was beached in thirteen feet
of water. The amount of damage to
the steamer cannot be ascertained at
present.
The Masonic had on board G,451 bales

The case of the residents of Boyd
county is typical of all those inhabt-
ing the afflicted territory. The county
was settled in 1891. The spring of 1892
found the people breaking sod and
planting the first crop. But very little
of the soil was under cultivation and
therefore only enough was raised to
supply immediate needs. The year
1898 gave from a third to a half crop,
while the crops for 1894 were a total
failure. The people are in need and
some are actually suffering, and unless
aid is received at once many more will
suffer. Boyd county is forty miles from
