INTEREST MANIFESTED.
Something's Trial Tomorrow The Topic Of Con-

Special 10 The Age-HeraIld.

Special 10 The Age-Herald.
Tuscaloosa, Sept. 2S.-The greatest
interest is manifested here concerning
the preliminary trial of A. Stoneking
for the killing of II. G. Lallande, which
comes up in Justice Bradys court Thurs
day. The state of the public mind has
changed but little since Friday evening,
when the tragedy occurred. The people
were much moved at the time, the kill
ing then being openly called cold
blocded murder. On Friday night the
people gathered In groups all over the
town and the killing was the general
topic on conversation ON the streets and
in the homes. There was universal con-
dsmnation expressed for Stoneking. and
while all pitied his family and regretted
that he had let liquor and temper run
so far away with him, no justification
was found for the deed
Some of the younger element talked of
lynching, but of course the suggestion
gained very little general favor, as it Is
believed the law will do juctica fully.
Lallande was very popular man.
and for the short time he had been here
had an amazingly wide acquaintance.
1t seems that he was very pronounced
in his opinions, and there are several
instances told of his methods of making
people do as he wanted them to do.
There is some talk of former rows be-
tween Stoneking and HIMSELF but de-
tails are lacking in most instances. 1t
is thought by Something's friends that
circumstances will be brought out on
the trial that will show that he, Stone
king, had much provocation. It is cer-
tain that Lallande talked to him rough
ly, but the fact remains that the pistol
was deliberately bought and held in the
pocket some time before 1T was used
and when the shooting occurred Lal-
lande had no opportunity TO defend him

Work Of Years at Last Crowned

The statement of earnings just issued
by the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road company, shows very satisfacto-
ry state of affairs in the business de-
partment of the company.
From July to Sept. q, inclusive, its
gross receipts show an increase of $780,
544 as compared with 1896, and de-
crease of only $1ss,544 compared with
1892, the banner year of the company.
This year the receipts during the time
Indicated were s4.S65, sol.
The income from all sources in the
first three weeks of September were ST.
299 los; $94,5S5, increase over 1896 and an
increase of. $2,195 over 1892.
The third week of September brought
S435. 800 into the Golfers of the company
an increase of 2426O over 1896 and only
$2,44O less than 1892.
The faces of the wholesale groosrs and
jobbers in groceries of Birmingham are
wreathed in smiles, for on and after
Oct. 16 they will be relieved Of a freight
disadvantage which has hitherto ham,
pered their efforts to make Birmingham
the only market of the retailers in the
territory tributary to her.
At present the small dealer in small
town can have his small order shipped
to him at the same freight rates as car
lots are shipped to the Birmingham
wholesaler and jobber. This has natu-
rally enabled points as far distant as
Kansas City and Cincinnati to sell di-
rect to retailers Within Birmingham
territory. Hereafter that trade will
come to Birmingham for there will be
on and after Oct. 16 a differential of 4
cents per hundred on carload and less
than carload shipments.
For three years the WholesaleGrocers'
association has fought for this proper
discrimination, and the war has been
waged bitterly. 1t has come to peace
full end for the, Southeastern Mississippi
Valley association has adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Recommended, That between points

river, on the east of the Mississippi
river, on and west CT a line from Jel-
lico, Hartman Junction, Chattanooga,
Birmingham, Montgomery, to Pensacola
and junction points ON Alabama Mineral
division of the ELLEN NJ" the present
rate on hog products, grain and it's
milled products, sugar molassss, coffee,
rice, soap and soda (where they are now
the same in car loads and less than car
loads), be adopted as the rates on car
load, the rates less than car load to be
made cents per 100 pounds higher than
the rates per car load, ETC., etc.
The Southeastern Freight association
has concurred in the action by readjust-
ing the rates on the above commodities
from aIll Ohio and Mississippi river
points, Nashville, Memphis, South AT
lantic coast points, Virginia and East
ern cities, to all points in their territory
on the same basis.
Thus the new order of things will
apply to all roads south of the Ohio

iHE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and INDIGESTION by Diet
ing Barbarons and Useless One.

We say the old way, but really it is
a very common one at present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians as well
consider the first step to take in attempt
ing to cure Indigestion, is to diet, either
by selecting certain foods and rejecting
others or to greatly diminish the guam
tity usually taken, In other words the
starvation plan is by many supposed to
be the first essential.
TIKI almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again, but still the mo-
ment dyspepsia makes it's appearance a
course of dieting is at once ad-
viSad.
All this is radically wrong 1t is fool
ish and unscientif1c to recommend Diet
ing or starvation to a man suffering
from dyspepsia, because indigestion it.
self starves every organ and every nerve
and every fibre in the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good,
Wholesome, well-cooked food and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to d.
eest 1t. This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method by which
they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia,
In other words the patient eats plenty
OF wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspep-
STA, Tablets digest 1t for him. In this
way the system ds nourished and the
oyerworked stormach rested, because the
tablets will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not. One of these tab
lets will digest 5000 grains of meat Or
eggs.

and safest remedy sold for stomach
troubles and every trial makes one
more friend for this excellent prepare

A census of the Hawaiian islands has

ben received by the department at

chester IN. H.) Union, are most interest
ing in view of the renewed movement
for their direct annexation to this gov
eminent, which the present administra-
ton is said to be very DESTROYS of
bringing about. The total Americans
constitute less than three per cent.
Of the whole and but a little over two
per cent. Of the male population. They
are, however, in full possession of the
government, having thus been since
Queen Liliuolalani was deposed. Con-
.sidering these facts, it is not strange
that they should be fearful lest such
power should be wrestcd from them
or Mt least be considerably more linn
tied than at present. Except for the
peculiar conditions that were undoubt-
eddy made the most of at the time, this
absolute power could not have been
seized by such small minority, as it
was, and it is remarkable that it has
been so long maintained.
