THE MOST POPULAR JOCKEY IN AMERICA AND

No jockey has ever appealed SO strongly to public
favor Tod Sloan.
He has achieved more than his most noted prede
cessors ever attempted and STANDS in class by
himself.
Not satisfied with his in his native coun-
try, he went to England, and now his fame as a
successful borseman is the tip Of every tongue,
not only in this country and England but in every
section of the globe where racing has found favor
When Tod first went to England his temerity
openly laughed at, but the little American played
skttles with his English rivals. and his victories
made all England gasp.
Having the stamp Of royal approval, society, both
at home and abroad "liOnzes' him, and he is feted
and petted to an extent that would turn ordi-
nary mortal's head.
The great jockey was in such demand socially and
dined and wined to such an extent that 1t was
feared his health would give way Too much soci-
ETY. and the nervous strain Of racing told on him.
A two weeks trip to Aperica made him acquaint
cd with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and their re-
markedly restorative effects on a depleted digestive
apparatus, and he recommended them In unstinted
terms to a friend, saying "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets the best thing know Of for keeping the
stomach in condition and appetite in good repair"
Thousands of former dyspeptics can vouch for the
truth of Tod Soans words, as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have become a household word In America
and few families without them. One two
taken after meals keep the stomach sweet by caus
ing prompt and healthy digestion of the food.
Perfectly healthy people use them after heavy din
ners to keep their good health and to make sure
that no i'll effects will follow unusually hearty

Claude NJ. Johnson, the director of the

Never in the history of the bureau have

Deliveries During the Year.
THE number of sheets delivered during
the fiscal year was 112 161 I'D, which is
10, 1S1 ga sheets in excess of the deliveries
for the preceding fiscal year, or an increase
OF nearly 20 per cent. The expenditures
for the fiscal year were 81 .SS4 ,44l3a, when

during the fiscal year 1898, or an increase
of nearly 20 per cent. " hlie the percent

apparently as the increase in work, II
should not be overlooked that Congress re-
quired the printing of a large amount OF
work formerly printed upon power presses
to be printed upon hand presses tor a con-

 Many Good Looking People
 A visitor to the city is strongly impressed with the number of good looking people. They have nearly all had their pictures taken, and look In the display windows of the photographers will convince any one that this town can boast of many beautiful women. There are more photographers to the square inch in Huntsville than any place in Alabama, however this may be due to the recent encampment of the soldiers here. A traveller to Huntsville need not suffer for want of hotel accommodation. There are two first-class hotels and the service Is as good as can be found most anywhere. The Huntsville hotel is one of the oldest establishments of the town. The McGhee has been open twenty years and is grow- ing more popular every day.
 With the increasing industries. magnifi- cent scenery, good water and the numerous other things with which Huntsville is en- dowed, there Is on reason wsy in a few years she should not be one of the greatest manufacturing cities in the south.

GETTING WARM.
Huntsville Municipal Campaign Excit
 ing Much Interest.

Huntsville, March u.-(Special.) )-Al- though no mass meetings or speech-mak- ings have been indulged in yet, the munich pal campaign is growing very warm.
 The two candidates for mayor are Jere Murphy, the present incumbent, and Allie Moore for several years 6 member of the board of aldermen. The fight is being made on local issues and party politics do not figure, though one of the candidates is democrat and the other a republican.
 About the only issue is whether or noS the present city clerk, E. R. Matthews, shall be retained for another term. MT. Matthews has been city clerk for many years and has developed @ strong force against him. Two years ago when the clerk was elected for another term, a de- termined effort was mado to defeat MT. Matthews, but he won by small margin. Candidates for aldermen are required to de- clare whether or not they will vote for Matthews for another term.
 In the Second ward, the largest in the city, the hottest fight will take place among tho following candidates: J. N. Brown, E. R. Latta, David Graham, Ozro Stegall, H. s. Bradford, R. l.. O'Neal and others yet unannounced. Luke Matthews, Jas. R. Boyd and A. S. Fletcher will mako things lively in the Third ward. The elec- tion will be held April 3.
