dreadful disease was eradicated from

Montpelier, o."
Swift's Specific Is. S. S. is the
only cure for Catarrh, for it goes
direct to the cause of the trouble
the blood-forcing the disease
from thesystem. Those who have
had Catarrh for any length of time
know that each winter finds them
more firmly in the grasp of the
disease than before. Their expe-
rience teaches them that local
treatment can do them no good.

Extradltion Treaty Between Mex
leo and United States.
STAGNATION IN MINE SHARES
Spaniards Are Laying Their Wires to
Control the Finances of Mexico
Have No Confidence in
Cuba's Future.

City of Mexico. April A.-Ratifications of
annd the United States were exchanged
Saturday at the foreign office, Minister
Mariscal acting on the part of this gov
eminent, and Charge d'Affaires McCreery
for the United States.
Financial Minister Limantor starts for
the United States and Europe on Monday
instead of today. He Is accompanied by his
wife and a small party, who will travel
with him to New York in the presidential
train. This luxuriously appointed train was
built in the United States for the use of
the president of Mexico.
There is a stagnation in mining share
dealings, largely owing to the fact that
the shares in the leading mines have fallen
widely into the hands of members of the
Spanish colony here, who have been buy
ing up the shares held formerly by German
and French residents. The wealth of the
Spanish colony is largely in excess of that
of other foreign colonists here, and predic-
tons are made inside Spanish circles that
within ten years the banking capital of this
city VIII be held mainly by the rich resident
Spanish.
lhere mas been recently an accession to
the members of this colony by wealthy
Spanlards coming over from Cuba and en-
tering the business of Mexico. They have
no confidence in the immediate future of
Cuba, believing that the Cubans if allowed
their hand, will ruin all business They
report that the wealthy Cubans are all for
annexation.

JUSTICE Tn ME-. nRYAN

From the New York Sun.
There Is no improperly in saying that,
IN his own originally chosen profession, Mr..
Bryan could now command an income ex-
ceeded or equaled by that of few lawyers
west of the Mississippi. There are
thousands of clients who would be glad
and proud to have him as their counsel.
If he preferred to devote his attention ex-
clusively to the lecture platform he would
be quite sure of Gaming a fortune in
compare lively short time. His power of in
teresting and holding audiences by the
magnetic charm of his oratory, on any
subject he may select has been sufficiently
demonstrated; and the eagerness to hear
him speak is not confined to any particular
section of the country. The same thing
may be said of his very respectable gifts
as an actor. The stage offers to Mr..
Bryan a mine of wealth whenever he
chooses to work it; although we have no
idea that he viii ever take advantage of the
opportunity. r. he were to write books to
be sold by subscription the returns would
certainly be large, and publishers would
compete for the privilege and profit of
putting Mr.. Bryans printed thoughts into
the hands of his millions of admirers. If
he were to return to journalism there are
doubtless dozens of prosperous newspapers
of his own way of thinking which would
tumble over each other in their anxiety to
secure his services as editor or editorial
writer.
Mr.. Bryan could easily earn, not only his
living, but probably riches beyond the
dreams of Nebraska avarice as a lawyer,
lecturer, an actor, on author, or a Journal
list. There are not many men in the coun-
try today with a greater potential earning
capacity covering a greater variety of al
tentative occupations. We make these re-
marks not at all in the offensive sense in
which Mr. Mabbatt'S question seems to be
put to us, but merely to emphasize the
absurdity and injustice of the notion that
the leader of the Chicago democracy re-
mains in politics for the sake of the money
that is in politics for him.
On the contrary, to the best of our knowl
edge and belief, Mr. Bryan is standing by
his party and his principles at a very con-
siderable sacrifice of pecuniary profit.

WOMAN AND A COWHIDE
Taliadega Treated to an Up-to-Date
Sensation-Mrs. Steinberg on Warpath

Taiadega, April 24.-(Special 1.-The fact
that "hell has no fury like woman scorn-
ed was demonstrated here Saturday.
1t appears from information gathered
that Messrs. M and s. Goldstein had made
remarks to the effect that Mrs. NJ. Stein
berg was guilty of conduct that was Ii
tie indecorus, at which statement Mrs.
Steinberg deemed herself sufficiently in
suited to secure a cowhide and go to the
place of business of the aforesaid Hebrew
gentlemen, and use 1t very vigorously on
the person of NJ. Godstein, the only one in
the store at the time. Mr.. Goldstein sue
ceeded in wrestling the cowhde from the
irate woman and stopped the proceedings
After this Mrs. Steinberg set out for Sy-
lacauga after her husband and on the train
met 8. Goldstein and chased him out of the
car. She got her husband and returned,
and they say matters are not settled yet.
The little episode caused quite a sensa ton
among the Hebrew population of the town.
On yesterday morning the congregation
OF the First Baptist church raised 81 100
towards rebuilding the parsonage, recently
destroyed by fire.
The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. o. c.
Dobbins died this morning.

You are in no danger of being sick If you
keep your kidneys we'll.
They filter your blood and keep 1t pure
and free from disease-breeding germs.
Your other organs may need care but
your kidneys most, because they do most.
If you are sick, begin with your kidneys,
because as soon as they are well, they will
help all the other organs to health.
The treatment of some diseases may be
delayed without danger, not so with kidney
disease.
Swamp-Root is the great medical triumph
of the nineteenth century; discovered after
years of untiring effort and research by
the eminent kidney and bladder specialist,
DR.. Kilmer and has truly wonderful heal
ing action on the kidneys and Bladder.

BASE BALL.
Massey's Down Their Opponents

Massey's Down Their Opponents
The base ball teams from the two bust
ness colleges of the city, who have been Bit
ter rivals for some time, settled the dispute
yesterday afternoon in a holly contested
game at North Birmingham park. The
Massey college won out by a score of Z to
..
Both sides did some excellent fielding, but
neither team could hit the ball with any
regularity. The Birmingham Business col
lege team probably made as many hits as
their opponents, but they were unfortunate
in not being able to bunch them. Schop-
pert, of the Massey team, did some fine
work in the box, always managing to hold
the batters down in a close place Gresham
also handled the ball cleverly, but was a
little wild and gave several men a chance
to walk to first.
A large crowd of enthusiasts were out to
see the game and urged their fayorites on
by some loud roofing
The following is the score by innings:
Massey ...........2 0 o.
The players were as follows: Massey
Sellers, Vigo, Wells, Smith (captain), Schop-
pert, Orion, Daffin, Chairsell, Leighton.
