' Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KING OF
LIVER MEDICINES ?" Everybody neede
take liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all livei
diseases. Keep the liver active by ar
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid Of these trou
oles, and give tone to the whole sys
tenn. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. II
aoes not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
eefreshes and strengthens.

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
Resolutions Adopted by the Birmingham Bar
10 the Memory Of the Non.
N. A. Mason.

A meeting of the Birmingham bar WIS
held in the city court room yesterday
morning to take action on the death of
Hon. M. A. Mason. Mr.. John P. Tillman
presided and w. r. Terry acted as sec
rotary.
Speeches in eulogy of the deceased were
made by the following: Hon. o. w. IN
derwood, Col Sumter Lea, Capt w. c.
Ward, John W. Tomlinson, j. G. Car
michael. A poem upon his life and char
acter, composed by Tax Assessor S. l..
Robertson, was read by Capt. John M.
Martin. 49,. s-'s -
The committee to draft resolutions
suitable to the memory of the deceased
then presented the following, which were
adopted
Again we are called together to mourn
the loss of member of the bar of JEFF
ferson county. On Saturday, the I'd day
of September, 1895, in the prime of hui
manhood death took from us our friend
and brother lawyer, Michael A. Mason.
Born in the state of Kentucky, he came
to Alabama about ten years ago and en-
tered upon the practice of law in the
courts of Jefferson county. Those quail
tiles of manly courage and sterling in
tegrity, which he possessed to marked
degree soon attracted a host of friends
about him. They recognized his ability
as a leader, and insisted upon his rep
democratic county executive commit
tee. In the fall of 1892 he was elected
as chairman of the county campaign
committee. and in that capacity his la
bors were rewarded by this county giving
the democratic presidential ticket the
largest majority that has ever been given
in an election. At the meeting of, the
county convention in the spring of 1894
he was unanimously chosen chairman or
the democratic county executive COM
mittee which position he held at the
time of his death. The fact that he al
ways possessed the confidence an respect
of both political friends and foes bears
testimony that he never stopped to ques-
tionable methods to obtain success.
Your committee beg leave to recon-
mend the adoption of the following reso-
lutions:
Resolved. That the bar of Birmingham
have learned with deep sorrow of the
death of Michael A. Mason, member of
this bar.
Resolved That as a lawyer he was pos
sessed of an honest and accurate legal
mind; that his character as a man, his
fairness and courtesy to the courts be-
fore which he practiced, and his faith
fulness to his clients, are left us as a
monument that will ever tend to reflect
dignity and respect upon our profession.
Resolved, That as political leader he
was wise in council and fertile In re-
sources, and in all things a heightened
and chivalric gentleman.
Resolved, That the members of this
bar, with whom he was SO intimately as
ISOLATED, extend to his bereaved family
their coincidence and sympathy.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
lions be sent to his family. and that cop
les be presented to the courts of this
county with the request that they be
spread upon the minutes thereof

A Common Praotine

It's quite common fer some trades peo-
Pile to persuade a customer to take some
other article instead Of that called for. 1t
Is sometimes called substitution, but it's
cheating the customer out of that which he
wanted. II is always done for q mefn mo-
tiye. The dealer who does this has no con-
sideration for his customer. It's like get
ting ride of something in which the dealer
himself was swindled and yet he must get
money out of 1t by deceiving the customer.
We say to The readers OF this journal that
when you ask for Simmons Liver Reg
ulator don't take anything else instead
IT'S the best liver medicine. The advertise
Ing is increasing the demand for 1t and the
people who call for 1t should get it, espe-
cially so because there lie no liver medicine
like Simmons Liver Regulator. Insist upon
having it and note that the Red z is on the
front of the package, 3

DURANT'S TRIAL.
The Prisoner Is Delighted That He Will Be
Allowed to Talk.

Allowed to Talk.
San Francisco, Oct. 7-Durant was told
today that Deuprey had SAID this morn
ing that he would put him DuranD on
the stand this week. Durant said he was
glad to hear 1t, though he had not yet
been told so by his counsel. He said he
was ready and willing to tell all he knew
and had really been ready to tell from
the first, but his lips had been sealed by
his attorneys. He said he was sorry he
would be restricted in what he would
say, as he would like to explain every
thing. Durant spoke with confidence.
The approach of the time when he is to go
on the stand has apparently no effect on
his nerves.
AS matters now stand the schedule of
time In the now rapidly approaching
time is as follows:
On Thursday Deuprey will close the
case for the defense, Friday and Monday
will be- occupied by District Attorney
In rebuttal or anything that may come
up. Wednesday will be taken up by AS
sistant District Attorney Pe.xoto In his
opening argvmsni. Thursday will be set
apart for p~uprey. with Friday and part
OF Monday For Genera; Dickinson, who
will make the closing effort for The de-
