An Odd Sign.

Nearly everybody has heard of the ''catoh sign" of the dyer, to the effect that he "dyes to live and lives to dye" There are probably half a dozen or more dyers in this city who have that sign oonspicuously displayed at their estab- Eahments. There has been a sudden re- vival in the use of catchy signs, partic- ularly rhymed ones, among bootblacks and small sidewalk merchants. These signs are now springing up everywhere, and 8 couple of young newsboys with some facility for making doggerel are picking up many half dollar for work of this kind among their fellows. The fever has even reached Frankford, and an odd old character there has this pla- card outside his humble establishments:

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
 TESTED.
Results of the Test in Various Forms of
 Dyspepsla.

Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, while @ very common trouble, has for some time been looked upon by able physicians as serious thing, and that no time should De lost in treating it properly at the start, be- cause recent researches have shown that the most serious, fatal and incurable dis cases have their origin in simple dyspepsia or indigestion.
 Diabetes is simply one form of indiges- tion, the sugar and starchy food not being assimiated by the digestive organs. In Bright's disease the albumen is not prop erly assimilated.
 While consumption and dyspepsia are twin diseases, and it is beyond question that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil TOT the seeds of consumption.
 But the trouble has been ohnd a~rem- edy that could be depended upon to cure dyspepsia, as it Is notoriously obstinate and difficult to cure.
 This has been the question which has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike, until the question was solved three years ago by the appearance of a new dyspepsia cure in the medical world known as Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which t was claimed was as certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach trouble. ls1
 Physicians, however, would not accept such statements without first giving the new remedy many tests and carefully ob- serving results. st
 For three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested in every section of the country and with surprising and satisfac- tory results.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be hon. estly claimed to be o specific, & radical, lasting cure for indigestion in the various forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach, gas or wind on stmach. too much bile, un- due fullness or pressure after eating and similar symptoms resulting from disor- dered digestion. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab lets were not placed before the public un- til this three years trial left no doubt as to their value and they have recently been placed in the trade and can be found on sale at all druggists at the nomianlprice of 50 cents per package.
 No extravagant claims are made for the remedy. It will not cure rheumatism, pneumonia, typhoid fever nor anything but just what 1t is claimed to cure and that is every form of stomach trouble
 No dieting is necessary, good wholesome food and plenty of 1t and you may rest as- sured that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest it.
 Druggists claim for it that 1t is a pleas ure recommend 1t to dyspeptics, because it gives such universal satisfaction.

ROLLO RELEASED ON BOND The Former Police Officer Re-
 gains His Liberty. IN UNITED STATES COURT A Non-Sui Was Taken by Plaintiff in the Case of Fralegh vs. the United States
 Life Insurance Company

Former Police Officer w. T. Rollo, who has been confined in the county jail for several months was released yesterday on two bonds of $30O each each, which were signed by Drs Elias M. and Thomas M. Robinson of Bessemer.
 Rollo was arrested by his superior officer on charge of burglarizing the store Of L. A. Davis & Co.,, in Second avenue, be- tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, on his beat. Subsequent charges of burg larizing the store of the Brown Crockery company were filed against him, and on preliminary trial he was bound over to await the action of the grand jury.
 When the criminal court grand jury met a few weeks ago the charges were investi- gated and two indictments were returned against him, charging burglary and grand larceny.
 Rollo denies the charges and claims to have purchased the articles which are all legged to have been stolen. He is confident that he will come clear on trial before a jury
 The case of J. L. Fraleigh vs. the United States Life Insurance company of New York for breach of contract, which had been on trial in the United States court since Monday, came to sudden termina- ton yesterday, the plaintiff taking non suit.
 The plaintiff sued for damages in the sum of $25, ,0OO for alleged breach of contract, while acting as state agent for the com- pany in Alabama.
 The case was stubbornly fought by both sides. only one witness being placed upon the stand out of fifteen summoned. Ob- jections were made to almost every ques- tion up to the time of entering the non suit It Is said that the suit will be resented and fought to a finish. The plaintiff was represented by Richard H. Fries, J. w. Bush and Morris Loveman, and the de- fendant by William A. Walker, of this city, and P. F. Buell. of New York.

The announcement of Col. s. W. Johns candidacy for legislative honors brings into the race one of the strongest men of Jeffer- son county, and one who will worthily rep resent the people if elected upon all issues which shall be brought to the consideration of the law makers of the state. Col. John has already been a member of the Ala bama legislature at four sessions, three times from Dallas county and once from Jefferson. He introduced many important bills which became laws and was chairman of various committees while a member. Col. John is a pronounced and unfiinching advocate of the free coinage of silver and was one of the most aggressive leaders in the campaign of 1896. which resulted In the adoption of the Chicago platform and n tho election of Gov.

A CARD.

To the editor of the Age-H Herald:
 There appears to be an inconsistency in Mir. Harshs position as taken in his testi- mony in the Underwood contest in 1887 and his position now is this: that after saying he hadn't "any very strong party ahgnments, he goes on to say up to few years ago I had always voted for the democratic party, but in the last few years have determined to pay some attention to the character and capacity of candidates individually to the extent that I would not vote for the nominee of any one party or all combined, if knew the individual unfit for the office" Now, how is this high sounding expression to be squared with MT. Harsh's request that the people go into a primary election and thereby bind them selves to vote for the nominees of the pri- mary and conventions that will grow out of it? By participating, they bind them selves to support the nominees and cannot out of the great number of candidates to be nominated know in advance who they all will be. MT Harsh as a witness declares he intends to pay some attention to can didates individually, is 1t entirely conss- tent that as candidate he asks others to Ego 1t blind?" He quotes the great Bryan's expression at the wigwam, but the cases are not parallel MT. Bryan was not candidate then and he was not asking the people to bind themselves by participating in a primary to vote for nominees. MT. Harsh's position in his testimony was more like an independent than a consistent dem- ocrat and in circular letter in March, 1898. he declares he has always been con sistent democrat. No one questions his right to be an independent if he choses that role. But he seelrs now a democratic nomination and he ought in word and deed to be able to show a good democratic rec ord. A very pertinent question in this con- nection is. does MT. Harsh still adhere to the view declared in his testimony or does he intend to bind himself to vote for the nominees, whoever they may be?

semer division of the circuit court which is now in session. The name of Hugh Fra ger was drawn out of a special list of twen-. ty-fve to serve as juror during the term. Now this of itself would be nothing un- usual, but when it is remembered that Fraser is under indictment for murder in the first degree, and that his case is set for trial at this term of the court, 1t will readily be seen how unusual an occurrance this was, that a man should be drawn to sit on the jury which was to try him for a capital offense. It is useless to state that Fraser will be excused for cause by Judge Banks when his case Is reached.

 Montgomery, March 31.-A few days ago it was announced that the owners of the Highland Park Land company had decided to dispose of one half of ths lots In its handsome tract, and to cut the beautiful oak park into lots and sell dt at auction.
 Yesterday H. M.

 There seems to be little doubt but that the trade with the city will go through. The committee appointed by the board last night is being urged on every side to make the trade for the city.
