Stephens poll tax proposition was
knocked to smithereens this morn

committee report, recommending
that the Senate joint and concurrent
resolution. providing for poll tax

that poll tax of 81 per head be i'm

Major Fontaipe has been a soldier
nearly all his life, aud the story of
his adventures in all parts of the

war, and enlisted as a private in the
10th Mississippi Rifles, but later was
transferred TO Co *, 18th Missis
sippi Regiment. While member Of
this regiment 10 August, 1861, he
wrote the well known poem, "All
Quiet Along the Potomac" which
has since been widely copied all
over the werld.
He began his war work with the
Confederate army as scout and cour
Ter for Gen. Stonewal Jackson. He
served in the same capacity with
Generals Stuart and Johnson, and
briefly with Gen. Lee. He took part
in twenty seven pitched battles,
fif5Y-seven skirmishes and over 100
individual skirmiahes, in which blood
was shed. Although he was but
private in the ranks, he was at one
time intrusted with a carte blanche
order on the treasury of the Confed-
crate states. He was known in all
branches Of Confederate service as
the best marksnau with rife or
revolver in either army. He was
wounded sxty-seven times, and thir
teen times his lungs were pierced.
Five times in the course OF the war
he was reported dead. On two oc
casions he was able to look apertures
in his flesh and watch the beating of
his own heart.

The petition alleges that the defendant

treatment for their little child, who is said
to be delicate. Mrs. Scott sets forth that
she tried to dissuade her husband from his
theory, but failed, and that at last. believ-
ing the life of the baby was in danger, she
fled from her home and returned to her
parents, taking the child with her. She

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
OF Physical Manhood.

No form of athletic exercise demands such
perfect physical condition as prize fighting.
Every muscle in the body must be fully de-
veloped and supple, and the heart, lungs
and stomach must act to perfection.
Whether we endorse prize fighting or not,
1t is nevertheless interesting to know the
manner by which men arrive at such physi-
cal perfection.
James Jeflerles. the present champion
heavy weight of the world, and his gallant
opponent, Tom sharkey, in the greatest
pugilistic encounter that has ever taken
place, both pursued much the same course of
training and the first and most important
part OF this training was to get the stomach
in condition, and to keep the digestion alb
solutely perfect, so that every muscle and
nerve would be at its highest capabilities.
This was not done by secret patent med
icine, but both OF these great pugilsts used
a we'll known natural digestive tablet sold
by druggists under the name OF Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets and composed OF the
digestive ferments which every stomach re-
quires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jefries says: "Stuart's Dys-
pepsa Tablets prevent acdity, strengthen
the stomach and insure perfect digestion.
They keep man in fine physical condition"
Signed. James j. Jeffries. champion of the
world.
The gallant fighter, sharkey. says: Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets remove all discom-
fort after eating. They rest the stomach
and restore 1t TO a healthful condition. |
heartily recommend them" Signed. Inos
J. Sharkey.
The advantage of the daily use OF Stuart 5
Dyspepsia Tablets is that they keep people
we'll and ward of sickness and are equally
valuable TO well persons as to the dyspeptics.
Another advantage is that these tablets con-
tain no cathartics, or poisons of any eharac-
ter, but simply digestive ferments which are
found in every healthy stomach. and when
digestion is imperfect It is because the stom-
ach lacks some of these elements and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets supply 1t.
They are no cheap cathartic, but per-
fccty safe and efficient digestive and the
demand for them is greater than the sale Of
all % ar so-called dyspepsia cures combined.
No remedy could possibly reach such place
in public esteem except as the result of
positive merit.
Full sized packages are sold by all drug
gIsts at so cents and the best habit you can
possibly form is TO take a Stuart Tablet after
each meal They make weak stomachs |
strong and keep strong stomachs vigorous.

TRIAL IS A CIRCUS
Attorneys for Defense Continue to
PInN Foot naII WITH rrosecmtOr.

pIBy Foot ball with Prosecutor.
| After nearly week consumed in the cor
rection of oversights on the part of the
county attorney, testimony has begun in the
case of George Archibald, charged with
stealing $4,000 from the Pacific Express com
pany August 81 last year.
The cross examination OF witnesses is in
teresting, for the attorneys for the defendant
continue TO surprise the county attorney,
as has been done since the case started. The
witnesses, however have thus far held their
own very well and have been equal to the
emergency
The principal witnesses yesterday were
S. A. Huntoon of the express company and
Frank Clarke, paying teller of the First Ma
tional bank. Mr.. Clarke told how the money
had been turned over to the express people
and how at the First National bank the
amount had been charged against the st.
Paul bank, to which it was consigned. The
defense holds that because the money was
charged against the st. Paul bank its own
vested in the First National bank of this
city as charged in one count of the lnforma,
tion, The ownership of the money Is a tech
nicality which will probably figure largely
in the results OF the trial
1t was testified yesterday that there
were two keys to the safe In which Archibald
started with the money in question and thar
one of these keys disappeared about the time
Of the robbery. At noon the case was car
red over until Monday morning on account
Of other matters demanding the courts at
tention.
