FLORENCE WROUGHT UP.
Indignant Over Effort to Remove the
 Wagon Factory.

Florence, Ala, December 13.--(Speciai)- The controversy growing out of the pro- posal to remove the wagon works from this city to Birmingham has led to the address, ing of an open letter to the Commercial Club of the latter city, charging them with and regardless of the interests of neigh boring towns and cities in the state. The letter is signed by a committee composed of Hon. Emmett O'Neal Judge w. J. Wood and Hon. Paul Hodges, e.iree of the most prominent attorneys and public men of this county, who were selected by the Florence Business League to investigate the matter and take the necessary action.
 The proposition from the Birmingham club to pay s20,000 to take the wagon fac general rebuke not alone in Florence. but in all the smaller cities of this part of the state. Florence some years ago subscribed s50,000 to the capital stock of this concern and Its removal would seriously cripple the business of tho town. The factory employs several hundred men. The letter addressed to the Birmingham club declares that if Birmingham persists in the robbfng policy upon which she has started out, the town of Florence will resist to the end and will seek the aid of other smaller cities in this section of the state. The uncertainty of the wagon factory has unsettled business in several branches in the city, especially in the real estate market.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and In-
 digestion.

garding Remedies for Dyspepsia and In-
 digestion.
 The national disease of Americans is ind.- gestion, or, in its chrome form. dyspepsa, and for the very reason that it is so com mon many people neglect taking proper treatment for what they consider trfling stomach trouble when as a matter of fact, indigestion lays the foundation for many in- curable diseases. No person with a vigor- ous, healthy stomach Will fall victim to consumpt on. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from poor Indigestion; thin, nervous people are really so because their stomachs are out of gear weary, langud, faded out women owe their condition to imperfect indigestion.
 When nearly every person you meet is af- fiicted with weak digestion it is not sur pr sing that nearly every secret patent med icine on the market claims to be a cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of other bles when in fact, as Dr. Werthier says, there Is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which Is perfectly safe and reliable, and moreover thss remedy is not patent med icine but it is a scientific combination of pure pepsln dree from animal matter) veg etabie essences, fruit salts and bismuth It is sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extrava- gant claims are made for them, but for n- digestion or any stomach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply eat all the wholesome food you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results. because all the stomach needs Is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the work of digestion.

ID GET A KLOND|KE CLAIM You Better Stake It Out in the
 United States Section. YOU GAN HAVE 130 ACRES In British Alaska the Crown Owns One Claim in Ten, and You Do Not Have Prvi-
 eges-Thats the Law.

Under the laws of the United States miners have much greater freedom than under the Canadian laws.
 To a gerat extent the men in each min ing district may determine for themselves the laws by which they shall abide. Thus, solitary miner may discover region rich in ore and may stake out. say. twenty acres, which may be done up to limit of 16O acres on payment of s1o or s2o an acre, according to certain conditions.
 But if other miners come in before the claim is duly recorded they may organize what is known as a miners district and declare that no single individual shall be allowed to stake out more than 1,500 feet by 1,500 feet. The original claimant has to submit or go into endless law suits. which he is almost never prepared to do.
 Tho United States government says that no single individual can enter or locate upon moro than 160 acres, nor can an as- sociation enter upon more than 320 acres. The government, before patent issues, re- quires payment for mining land at the rate of $10 per acre where the claim is situated moro than fifteen miles from railroad and $20 per acre where such claim is locat- ed less than fifteen miles from railroad.

On April 3, 1889. he started the Edison Monograph company to place all through the country the well known "nickel-in-the- slot' machines, and it is one of the best paying ends of the institution.
 By this time Edison had como to be called "The Wizard" and people wanted to wine and dine him perpetua1ly. His enumerated inventions then numbered fifty.
 Like the mayor of Greater New York, he resolutely refused all invitations and went nowhere except to his own nome from his laboratory.
 But while attending so strictly to in- ventive affairs Thomas A. Edison was hv- ing a very pretty home life. Early Tn his career he married wife who left nim an interesting family. Miss Marion Eal- son who has won many triumpns Tn tne courts of Russia and Germany, is ms daurhter. After many years the Wizard noarried again. and this time another lam ilv came to bless his quiet hearthstone. lie has a very pretty little girl Of nve, wno recently took part in private theatricals co, charity in New York, and a boy still younger whose physiognomy resembles ms father to such an extent that it Is thought and boped that a "Wizard, Jr.," will bless the nation in the twentieth century
 MT. Edison, though fifty-one years oid, regards himself as beginner He says he has never invented anything or which he is proud It is a. remarkable fact that once having invented a thing. he dislikes if afterward and is said to walk blocks out of his way to avoid an arc electric fight.
 He dislikes fads and foibles and has little patience with the theoretical elec- trical geniuses who are always going 10 do something but never do. He hasn't communicated with Mars yet and Is not trying particularly to do so. In this he IS following out his invariable rule to wait until the people want it"
 The Wizard is a handsome man, or good fortune, for he has been rewarded for his work, though not magnificentiy. He has enough to live upon and enough to continue his inventions. which is some thing not one inventor in millions can say.
 Every year at this time a great fete is

 Thomson A. Edison was born fifty-one years ago at Milan, O., on Feb. Il. At a very early age he showed signs of a cer- tain hard-working genius which led his folks to put him to work even younger than their circumstances would otherwise have had them do.
 Edison worked around from boyhood to manhood at odd mechanical jobs and final ly drifted to Canada, where he performed his initial feat of ingenuity by teegraphing with a steam whistle across Niagara Falls.
 The telegraph lines were down and the railroad factory in which he was employed could not communicate with its branch office on the other side of the falls. Edi- son mounted the engine, blew couple of blasts to call attention to the sound, and then began telegraphng, using the regular telegraphers' alphabet of long and short sounds. He was immediately understood and in an hour had the pleasure of talking

herewith may also receive a patent for his mill at $5 per acre.
 The location must be along vein or lode; it must be distinctly marked on the ground so that it's boundaries can be traced
 with the law He must file also plot
 and field notes of the claim, or claims, in
 common, made by or under the direction or
 the surveyor general, showing accurately
 the boundaries, which shall be marked correctly. The record must contain refer ence to some natural object or permanent monument to identify the claim and all lines must be parallel. Remaining de-
 tails are governed by regulations estab-
 llshed by the miners Of each district, not
 inconsistent with national or state laws.
 The right to mine can be given in public
 lands only, and said lands must contain
 valuable mineral deposits. Two miners
 tried to file twenty-acre claims once in
 such way as to obtain control of the
 entire length of both banks of a creek
 thirty miles long. Other miners came in
 and organized a mining district. Then
 they declared that no mining claim should
 extend along the creek more than 1,500 feet.
 The original claimants went to court and
 petitioned that inasmuch as they had taken
 up the claim primarily for the purpose or
 cattle pasture, they should be allowed to hold it. The. court ruled that claim for cattle pasture running in a strip only one foot wide could not be enter tained and dismissed the petition.
 An applicant for claim must file in the proper land office application for a patent under oath, showing a compliance distinctly by boundaries on the ground and shall post a copy of such plat. together with a notice of such application for a patent, in conspicuous place on the land or claim in question.
 This posting must be done before the filing of the application for patent. He must also file, when he applies for his pat ent, the affidavit of at least two persons that such notice has been duly posted, to- gether with an exact copy of such notice The register of the land office then causes to be published in a newspaper by him designated as the nearest to the l claim, for sixty days, notice that sucn l application has been made. He must TOT the. same period also post such notice ir his office.
 At the time of filing his application, or within sixty days, claimant must file with the register a. certificate of the surveyor general that $500 worth of labor has been expended upon Improvements made upon

 But 1t was not until 1889 that the inven- tor began to attract much attention. un- til that ime, as he himself says, he was busy making things people did not want. But at the age of thirty-three he caught on'' and put his talent to it's right uses.
 It was to a Tammany hall man that he took one of his first inventions, a ballot box which 1t was impossible to stuff" I" The politician looked at it, then turned to the young inventor and said, laughingly: "Why don't you invent something that somebody wants?
 That has been my guide ever since" says Edison-"to invent something some- body wants."
 One of his first important spectacular inventions was the electric locomotive, "The Judge,' which will be remembered by all who visited the expositions of 1ss0- 1890.
 Then followed in bewildering rapidity the following important and useful devices which have secured a degree of prominence all over the civilized world:

They Saw the Real England

From the London Globe.
 A New Year calm seemed to have fallen upon a certain village not twenty miles from London as three American tourists strolled through it. Not a soul was abroad, save the geese and fowls on the common. "This,' said the Americans, "is real Eng land" And they turned up muddy by- lane to sniff England's New Year peace to the full. In doing so they stumbled upon an antique cottage with a quaint board over the door. They approached to in- spect the board, and from the inside of the cottage came the sound of about twenty yokels' voices, all singing different tunes together in voices all differently drunk England"
