Fifteen Years of Suffering.

When the stomach begins to fail in
its duties, other organs speedily become
affected in sympathy, and life is simply
burden almost unbearab1e. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are common that only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in
them. A typical example of the sufferings
of the victim of indigestion is furnished
in the case of John c. Pritchard. He went
on for fifteen years, from bad to worse.
In spite of doctors he grew constantly
weaker, and thought he would die. He
got we'll, however, and thus relates his
experience:
For fifteen years was great sufferer
from indigestion in its worst forms. I

HAWAIIAN POSTAL SERVICE.
United States Service VIII be Extended to
the islands as Soon Our Flag
Is Raised There.

WAsHISGToS, July 22.-POstmaster-
General Emory Smith says that the
United States domestic postal service
will be extended to the Hawaiian
islands as soon as the flag is
raised there The details have
not yet been worked out, but it
has been determined to make as
few changes as possible in the present
Hawaiian system for the time being.
The regular postal rates will apply to
all points within the islands, but it IS
question whether the ordinary rates
will prevail for mail transported by
vessels. 1t may be necessary, on ac-
count of the long voyage, to increase
the rates slightly.

JUDGE WILKINSON.
The Campaign Statement Given Out by His
 Friends.

Judge Wilkerson's campaign committee issued the following yesterday. It has been distributed in circular form:
 To the Voters in the Democratic Primary Judge ". W. Wilkerson, who is candi- date before you for the nomination of senior judge of the city court of Birming ham, is constantly engaged in the dis charge of his duties on the bench, and be- cause of this fact he will be unable to meet many of the voters in person. We take this method of bringing his candidacy to your notice He has served as asso ciate judge of the city court for six years, and now seeks promotion to the senior judgeship. He deserves indorsement and this promotion because of his faithful and efficient service. And as an evidence of the character he made as judge, we attach hereto a letter signed by eighty-seven prac- ticing lawyers of the bar of Jefferson coun- ty, and we would add that in addition to these there are more than thirty lawyers in this county who are candidates and who have not been asked to sign the said letter, but many of them are outspoken for Judge Wilkerson. This leaves but a few lawyers who favor his opponents candidacy. Judge Wilkerson is a tried and experienced judge. His opponent, MT. Harsh who is member of the firm of Bowman & Harsh, has prac- ticed law in Birmingham for some years, and is, to say the least, untried a judge.
 Judge Wilkerson is now and has always been loyal democrat He supported Capt. Johnston over Col. Clarke, and has without break voted the demooratic ticket munich pal, county, state and national. He stands on the Chicago platform. His position As judge has, of course, precluded his taking an active part in political campaigns.
 We invite the closest scrutiny of Judge Wilkerson's record, political and otherwise, and commend faVOra pOnSid- eration as in every way entitled to your support and respect,

Sterling A Wood.

From the Montgomery Journal.
 ''Mr. Sterling A. Wood, the present clerk of the supreme court, is a candidate for reappointment to the same position. His candidacy is based upon the democratic usage which comedies a second term to a faithful, capable official and loyal party man; upon the record of his excellent con- duct of the clerks office; upon his integr- ty and his peculiar fitness for the place, and upon the universal commendation of the bench and bar of Alabama. The Jour- nal has not heard the slightest criticism of the present administration of the clerical department of the supreme court, nor in- deed anything but well merited praise; and it is not believed Clerk Wood will be op- posed for reappointment to a second term"

JUDGE WILKINSON.
What the Lawyers Think of This Jurist.

What the Lawyers Think of This Jurist. Birmingham, Ala, March 22 1898. Prof. R. G. Hewitt, Chairman of Wilkerson Campaign Committee. Sir-We, the undersigned lawyers of Jeff ferson county, moved by our deep interest in the selection of candidates for judges of the various courts of the county, write you this letter in behalf of the candidacy of Judge w. w. Wilkerson now associ- ate judge and candidaet for senior judge of the city court of Birmingham. If we were asked what sort of man the people would like to have for their judge we would say an upright man, good citi- zen, learned in the law, wise in judgment and keen to do right between man and man, without fear favor. We know Judge Wilkerson to be such a man. He has dwelt in this community many years, and he has been tried here as man, citizen and judge, and has been proved, beyond a doubt, to measure up to the standard which the people require.
 We, as lawyers, accustomed to oppose one another in the courts, in the interest of our clients, now unite in ndorsing for the dem ocratic nomination, Judge Wilkerson, who as judge has so often decided between us. We know him to be fearless, fair and m- partial; that in his judicial conduct there will b0 no distinction between rich and poor, capitalist and laborer, individual and corporation, or between man and man; but that every man and every class will be treated as equally entitled to the full protection of the law
 In expressing these sentiments 1t is not our purpose Or desire to make any invid- fous2 comparison between Judge Wlkerson and any other candidate for any judicial of flee, but simply to give this testimonial to tried and faithful public officer. Very respectfully
