"Going into decline" How often do we hear this expression. What does it mean? It means that people are losing flesh, growing thin, wasting.
 he way to correct this condition is to improve the digestion. The condi- tion arises from an inability to eat and digest food. In fact food does more harm than good because it ferments and putrefes in the stomach, developing poisonous substances which when ab- sorbed cause various disorders.
 What is required is that the stomach be made to perform its duties. The Shaker Digestive Cordial is a food al ready digested and digester of foods as we'll. It will make the stomach healthy. Get book from the druggist and read about it.

The Grand Camp of Virginia Con-

and adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That only such histo-
ries as fairly present the principles
and facts upon which is grounded
our American republic be used. In
this spirit we would recommend
as Virginia histories, those by Mrs.
Mary Tucker McGill and General

United States, those Of Mrs. Susan

Shinn, Hansel series and Holmes.
Further, we would suggest for its

General Robert e. Lee, by Mrs. Mary

be adopted-such is its clearness and

MONETARY CONFERENCE OFF
BRITAIN REFUSES TO TAKE PART
IN NEGOTIATIONS.
SALISBURY MAKES FINAL REPLY.
Says India's MINIS Cannot he Reopened.
Biinetaliis,n Is Thus Turned Down
and silver Ia sidetracked,

A London cable dispatch says: Lord
Salisbury, Wednesday night, sent to
Ambassador Hay the reply of the Brit
ish government to the proposals Of the
American bimetallst special commits
sion, headed by Senator Wolcott.
1t is a automatically worded note.
His lordship says that the govern
ment Of Great Britain is not able to
reopen the India mints at present.
He regrets the inability to accede to
the proposals OF the American COM
missioners. Great Britain having as
great an interest as the United States
and France in securing stable par
exchange for gold and silver and an
enlarged use Of silver.
In these circum stances, continues
Lord Salisbury, the British govern
ment does not see the desirability Of
all international monetary conference,
but will be pleased to consider any
other practical suggestions from the
United States.
Lord Salisbury incloses with the
note copy of the statement Of Sir j.
Westland, head Of the financial de-
partment of India, which was under
discussion at the meeting Of the cabi-
net council last Saturday which takes
strong grounds against the reopening
Of the India mints.
Ambassador Andrew White came
from Berlin last Saturday. He has
avoided publicity, but has had several
conferences with Senator Wolcott.
In the course of an interview with
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press, Mr.. White said that Germany's
action as to bimetallism will depend
upon England's.

President and Russell Sage to Confer on
Union Pacific Matter.
The New World York of Thursday
morning contained the following:
"Russell Sage created sensation in
Wall street by announcing he had
been invited by President Mckinley
to form a syndicate in Union Pacific
railway on the basis of satisfying the
full government claim in the Union
Pacific.
"Mr. Sage invited subscriptions to
q plan to be hereafter brought out by
him for the foregoing object. The
payment Of the governments claim in
full is understood to be the first con-
dition in this plan. Mr.. Sage's rep
resentatives announced that he had
received subscriptions for over $780,
900, 900 within two hours of his an
nouncement
"It was announced that he would
continue to receive subscriptions until
his plan was subscribed at least three
times over. As in the bond transac.
ton, Mr.. Sage thinks there is unlimit-
ed capital available for the settlement
OF the Pacific road debts without loss
to the government and without blind
pools.

Two CASES IN MONTGOMERY
BOARD OF HEALTH MAKES REPORT
AFTER LONG CONSULTATION.
Case ANNOUNCED IN BATON ROUGE
Tabulated Statement Of New Cases and
Fatalities ut Various Points
For Monday.

The board Of health of Montgomery,
Ala, announced two cases of yellow
fever in that city Monday. They are
Patrick W. White, q young lawyer,
whose life is now despaired of, and
Thomas Graydon, a railroad engineer.
As has been intimated in specials
from that city for a week past, q dis
ease resembling yellow fever has pre-.
vailed in the first ward for more
than q month. The physicians have
treated it for malarial fever, believing
| it came from the miasma arising from
the river, which has been unusually
low.
For some days, however, the public
had been pretty we'll convinced it was
yellow fever, and several thousand peo-
pie left the city.
Several thousand more will likely
leave as quickly as the trains will car
ry them.
To layman, it appears that the
board Of health, backed by nine-tenths
of the physicians, has sadly miscon
ceived the whole situation. All Of the
physicians, except four or five dag
nosed the case to be something else
than yellow fever.
These four or FIVE doctors, Bragg,
Wood and Bibb, Jackson, and prob
ably DIR. Mattel, have advised their
patients and friends for some days
that the disease was yellow fever, but
withheld, on account Of medical ethics,
to take issue in a public uttorance with
the board.
The board says in its bulletin AL
nouncing the two cases of fever:-
'There are few suspicious cases un-
der observation"
The average citizen believes there
are score of yellow fever cases in
the city. The physicians will not
confess as much, however.
The city council has adjourned the
schools until after the disease has
abated, and ordered the first ward, in
which the disease appears to be con-
fined, to be disinfected. The city is
in almost perfect sanitary condition,
and this fact, together with the indi-
cations OF frost at an early date, fur
nishes some consolation to the people.
Following is tabulated statement
OF the fever situation for Monday:

IN JURY,S HANDS.
Fate OF Luetgert, Charged With Wife
Murder, Hangs In Balance.


AChicago special says: The fate Of
Adolph L. Luetgert, accused of MUIR
dering his wife and dissolving her
body in q vat filled with caustic pot
ash, was placed in the hands of the
Jury Monday afternoon.
Judge Tuthill finished his charge to
the jury at 4:45 p. M, and five min
utes later the jury filed ont and were
locked in the jury room.
The twelve men spent the night
without reaching an agreement. Tues
day was passed with no result, and at
nine o'clock Tuesday night the jury
had gone to bed on cots, placed in the
courtroom, and it was announced. by
Judge Tuthil that, even though by
one chance in a million the jurors
should wake up on the morrow and
agree upon q verdict there would be
no announcement and the court room
would, under no circumstances, be
opened until 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
Just before retiring for the night the
Jury took another ballot, the vote
standing nine for conviction and three
for acquittal.

NO RECEIVER APPOINTED
For the Southern b. and L. Association Of
Huntsville, Ala. /

For the Southern b. and L. Association Of
Huntsville, Ala.
The case of Mrs. M. L. Straton ct al
vs.. the Southern Building and Loan
Association of Huntsville, Ala, asking
for receiver to wind up the company's
business was dismissed by Judge
Bruce in the United States court.
The bill alleged the association to
be insolvent and to have practiced
continued frauds upon its stockholders
among whom were the plaintiffs.
Attorney for the defense adduced evil
dence showing the assets of the South
ern to be over a million dollars.
On converting court Judge Bruce
asked the plaintiffs Attorneys how
much more time the case would con-
tinue if heard to the end. They said
they wanted three more days,
Judge Bruce then announced that in
the two days devoted to the case he
had found the allegations in the bill
to be groundless. He then dismissed
the case without argument.

STOCKHOLDERS HIT HARD.

Their Investments In Looted Southern
Mutual May Come To Naught.
Stockholders of the Southern Mutual
Building and Loan association, which
failed in Atlanta last February, have
received the report Of the receivers,
James A.Anderson and M. Il. O'Byrne,
showing the condition of that concern,
and the report makes it clear that
stockholders will not receive more
than 20 per cent Of the amount paid
in.
The general report of Accountant B.
F. Moore, attached to the letter OF the
receivers, shows assets Of $651, 1852, 80
and liabilities of 1919, 20s. SO, leaving
q deficit Of 1927, 946. 10. The real de-
felt will be much larger than this be-
cause most OF the items in the list Of
sssets are worth considerably less than
their face value.

BOHANNON ROBBERS FOILED.
Gang Made Almost Successful Attempt a'
Jail Breaking.

Gang Made Almost Successful Attempt at
Jail Breaking.
Bohannon and his accomplices were
caught Wednesday night in an attempt
to break Jail at Dalton, Ga. They had
obtained small steel saw and had cut
seven bars in two. They had three
more to cut to get to the brick wall.
An hours work would have let them
out Of the cage. They did most Of their
work during the day while it was rain
ing hard.
At night the prisoners in the cage
appeared to be very jolly and sang for
an hour. The singing, which was to
drown the noise Of the saw, aroused
suspicion and they were detected at
work.
There are twelve in Bohannon's
cage. All the car robbers are there
except zimmerman and Morris, who
are in another cell.

nesday-six Deaths.
All previous records as to the num-
Der Of new cases of fever in New Or
leans were broken Wednesday. Early
in the evening sixty new cases had
been entered on the books OF the board.
At the same time there had been six
deaths. These had oil occurred dur
ing the early hours.
The fight from Montgomery con-
tinues. Upwards Of 500 refugees from
Alabama's capital are in Atlanta, Ga.
The tables have been completely turn
ed, and those who We're 30 violent in
insisting on stringent quarantine
against Atlanta have been compelled
to seek refuge within her gates.
Montgomery's board of health OF l
o'clock Wednesday afternoon reported
five new cases and one death.
The executive department Of state
has been removed to Birmingham,
The department of agriculture is also
there temporarily, and the convict de-
partment hos taken its books to
Speigners.
Birmingham is now practically the
southern terminus Of traffic on the
Louisville and Nashville. For fear Of
the inadequacy Of the state quarantine
the towns Of Jacksonville, Auburn and
Tuskegee, for which places very
large percentage OF the refugees were
headed, have organized local quaran-
tines.
Selma, however, has the most de-
termined quarantine of all. Every
avenue into the central city is guarded.

FEVER IS GAINING,
MORO Gases In Montgomery and Record
Broken at New Orleans.

~" ~ ~NoW OEloonbs
Three new cases Of fever were an.
nounced at Montgomery, Ala, Tues
DAY, and the stampede from the city is
astonishing in its magnitude.
Every available vehicle is constantly
employed hauling people to the trains
and to the country. Many, Of course,
cannot leave, and a few who could, Il
they wanted to, decline to 60.
There is little doubt but that the
disease has prevailed in the city for
month or more during weather favor.
able to its spreading. Probably as
many as fifty people have been sick
with the same sort Of symptoms, and
only one death, so far, can be even in
directly traced to the disease. Most
OF the other cases have recovered after
a weeks illness.
The local courts have adjourned for
the month on account of the fever ex-
element.
The sixth week of the fever at
Mobile began with FIVE cases Tuesday,
no deaths and eleven recoveries.
There was neither hope nor encour-
agement in the fever situation at New
Orleans Tuesday. The deaths did not
run up to an unusual mark, but there
were enough of new cases and fatali-
ties to disappoint those who were in
clined to believe that the fever was on
the wane.
As early as 7 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing there were forty-three cases.
There have never heretofore been
more than forty-nine cases. Gases
are being reported from all sections
of the city.
There has been in the city up to
date over nine hundred cases. OF
these, more than hundred have died.
The record is bad enough as it stands.
But it is quite possible that cases are
being hidden, and as q matter Of fact
if they were reported the death rate
would be less than it is now.
The board of health officially re-
ported Tuesday. Ceases of yellow
fever, Sc; deaths, 4; total cases Of yell
low fever to date, 92l; total deaths
from yellow fever to date, 104: total
cases absolutely recovered, 1853; total

Will Cause No War.
II the Southern railway retains it's
present attitude in regard TO the an
nouncement Of lower rates made by

no rate war.
With the calm indifference Of one
not effected, the Southern will give no
attention TO the Gu. and declares that
Il will not go into the sloshing contest.
But the Seaboard Airline has made
o big swipe at rates and has fled with

holders OF the Bethlehem Iron Com

company has made an offer to sell its

Mr.. Wharton said he understood the
Carnegie company had also made the
similar offer, but doubted whether
either of the propositions would ever
amount to anything.
