LOSE MILLIONS.
Tobacco Manufacturers Out S10,000,000
 in 1895.
Prospect of Still Larger Loss in ls9e- Great
 Anxiety in Tobacco Circles.

Chicago, Feb. 25-(Special)-It was re- ported here today that a large sum of money had been offered for the tobacco habit cure called No-To-Bac, which is famous all oyer the country for it's won derful cures. This offer, it is said, was made by parties who desire to take it off the market and stop its sale, because of its injury to the tobacco business. General Manager Kramer of No-To-Bac, when interviewed today at his office, No. 45 Randolph street, said:
 NO, sir, No-To-Bac is not for sale to the tobacco trust. Certainly No-To-Bac affects the tobacco business. It will cure over 100000 people in 1896, at an average saving of $50, which each would other wise expend for tobacco, amounting in round figures to $10,000,000. Of course to- bacco dealers loss is gained by the cured. Does No-To-Bac benefit physical- ly? Yes, sir. The majority of our pa tients report an immediate gain of flesh, and their nicotine saturated systems are cleansed and made vigorous. No-To-Bac is sold by druggists throughout the Unit ed States and Canada under absolute guarantee that three boxes will cure any case. Failure to cure means the money back. Of course there are failures, but they are few and we can better afford to have the good will of an occasional fail- ure than the money. We publish little book called Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away, that tells all about No-ToBac, which will be mailed free to any one desiring it by addressing the Sterling Remedy company, Chicago, Montreal Can or New York. ."

BACK FROM PRISON.
Ex-United States Commissioner Laird Is Again
 Here Free Man.

MT. O. J. Laird, former United States commissioner at Jasper and Corona, and who pleaded guilty to the charge of in- dorsing as correct fictitious aflidavits to accounts against the government and was sentenced to one years imprison- ment in the jail at Huntsville, was in the city yesterday, his time having ex- pired.
 Mr. Laird says he was well treated dur ing his confinement and that he had very comfortable quarters.
 Speaking of his trouble, he said that he had received not 1 cent benefit from the increased accounts and the whole matter was the result of too much confi- dence imposed in his fellow man, with the result that he was very seriously inn posed upon. That he was thrown into the clutches of the law unawares and was placed in such an attitude that any defense he might have offered would have been useless, and he followed, as he thought, the wisest course, took his med icine as a man and asked the mercy of the court. The result is, Laird is now free man, while the others against whom similar charges were made are still in custody, and with some of them the prob ability is it will be many months yet be- fore they will again breathe the air of freedom.

CHARLSON'S ALLEGED BETRAYER. Ex-Deputy Marshal Draper Arrested in Texas
 and Expected Here,

Another former federal court officer of this state is in trouble.
 Ex-Deputy United States Marshal A. H. Draper of Huntsville, whom Charl- son gave-as his friend who accompanied him to Monterey, Mex, on leaving Ala bama, has been arrested in Houston, Tex, on the charge of embezzlement, and is expected to arrive in this city to- morrow
 Draper was the friend mentioned by Charlson who gave him away to the of ficers in Texas, for which he was paid half of the $500 reward offered for Charl- son by his bondsmen.
 It was not until after his arrest that Charlson learned that his friend had turned traitor, when he gave out the in- formation that Draper was guilty of em- bezzling papers from the government, and on this information Draper has been arrested and will be brought back.
 Draper has written letter to the as- sistant district attorney. in which he states hat he has been arrested and is perfectly willing to return and stand his trial He also intmates in his letter that other startling information is in his pos session, and asks that the officials meet him promptly on his arrival; that he does not care to go to jail and seems to think a clean breast of what he knows may possibly save him.

ADOLF FLADENBURG DROWNED The Rich Banker Lost Overheard
 at Sea. HE WAS IN BAD HEALTH MT. Ladenburg Was Large Holder of Br- mlngham Bonds and Owned Much
 Property Tn the South.

In the darkness and solitude of early morning on Thursday last, when icy winds and blinding sleet buffeted each other in their race across the ocean, Adolf Ladenburg, the Wall street bank CT, disappeared over the side of the Mag ara, steamer of the Ward line, in which he was a passenger from the Bahamas and was drowned.
 All the circumstances so far eicited in the stories told by the ships officers, who should know, leave little or no doubt that Mr. Ladenburg took his own life, but the causes which led to the act will probably forever remain more or less in doubt.
 As all the business world knows, Adolf Ladenburg was the senior partner. founder and actual working head of La denburg, Thalmann & Co.,, the represent atives in this country of the great house of Bleichroeder of Berlin.
 His career in this country dates back eighteen years ago, when the Bleichroe- ders had their famous quarrel with Au- gust Belmont, the elder, who up to that time had been their New York agent. Baron Gerson Von Bleichroeder, the head of the Berlin house, would not forgive the slight which he rightly wrongly felt had been put upon him by the Bel monts, and decided to establish an inde- pendent house.
 The greatest triumph Of his business career-the admission of the Bleichroe- ders into his firm as special partners last year-was only welcome to him because it assured the future of his boy. But now his health, which, perhaps, had never been robust, began to fall. Twice he was on the verge of breaking down, and was forced to give up busi- ness and go south for a rest Each time he went alone. His second trip to Florida was made twelve months ago.
 Tn the last few months Mir. Ladenburg when away from Wall street confined himself very much to his room and his child. He seldom attended any of the dinner parties which his wife gave, pleading i'll health. ----r
 And, indeed, he was ill-so i'll that Dr. Charles McBurney, who had attended him for serious affection of the stom- ach, ordered him away to Florida. So two weeks ago he packed his valise. kiss ed his child and went to the south.
 Ernest Thalmann, his devoted friend and partner, heard from him once or twice: his wife received two letters; the last of these reached her on Saturday morning. She little knew as she read the loving words that his body was tossing in the Atlantic.
 No one can explain why MT. Laden burg crossed from Florida to the Ba- hamas at the end of his trip instead of returning to New York by the al-rail route But when the Niagara left Mas sau at 6:30 D. m. on Tuesday he was among the passengers who boarded her.

GEN. J. w. BURKE CHATS.
For the Gold Standard, but Thinks People Are
 Tired of the Money Question.

Gen. J. w. Burke is a decided gold mon ometallist.
 The general has been prominently men toned as the probable republican candi- date for governor. He was in the city Monday night en route to Chattanooga. He was seen by State Herald reporter and asked if the report that he would be the republican candidate for governor was true.
 q am not a candidate for any office, said General Burke. Tt is true I have been requested by a number of friends to make the race I have also received sev- eral papers relative to the matter, but have not authorized any statement that I was candidate or that l was not.
 What is your position on the money question, general?"
 q am an uncompromising advocate of sound money"
 Are you a bimetallist?"
 of it were possible to arrive at a proper and stable parity would like that silver be retained as money, but this cannot be done"
 Should it so happen that you should become the leader of your party what principles would you advocate before the people?"
 When took the stump I would hold up a gold piece and say to my friends that so far as the financial question is concerned 'them's my sentiments.' And I would then enter upon yhe discussion of strictly state issues The people are sore and tired ofVhis financial question: They want to hear something else. They want to hear of immigration coming into our state to aid in developing our resources inducement to capital and good citizen- ship to settle among us and aid us in making Alabama what she really ought to be-the best state in the union; they want to hear more of honest elections and the doing away of political pension CTS; they would enjoy the discussion of our public schools and better roads and various and sundry subjects of local interest that are becoming dwarfed by an over-discussion of the one subject finance; our infant industries would like to hear something of protective tariff and the giving of better wages and more work to the idle laborers. There are many very interesting subjects to be dis cussed."
 Do you favor fusion with the popu- lists?"
 "No; am opposed to fusion. The re- publicans and populists agree as to fair elections and protection, but we can nev which is the populists' greatest hobby. In fact, I am rather opposed to fusion on general principles. The people at large know it is only for temporary purposes and the republican party is losing respect by such action. It does not aid in build ing up the republican party It has been thoroughly tested in South Carolina and proved failure. We have tried 1t enough now and am in favor of going 1t alone unless the populjsts will come into the party like men,"
