Howland's s Great Bargains.

SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS OFFERED TO THE PURCHASING PUBLIC NOW.
 AS every one knows the Rowland Dry Good company is building large addi- tion to their already extensive plant and to make room for the carpenters and and other artisans who will be at work there fer the next few weeks. In con- sideration of the fact that the artisans will need much room for the improve ments which will be made 1t has been decided by the management to give the public one of the greatest sacrifice sales ever recorded in the annals of the dry goods business in Bridgeport.
 Price will not be any object in this sale but the principal thing will be to get rid of the goods and to get them out of the way. The room they occupy must be used for some other purpose and as g consequence the firm announces tue "Ante Building Sale" which is advertised in another part of this paper. Wash goods, silks corded taffetas, dress Things, underwear of all kinds, hosiery, shoes, ribbons, books and stationery, meL's fur nishings, linens, trimmings, gloves, mat tings, carpets and curtains and in fact many articles in the great store will be reduced in price till the stock Is reducs by half.
 Tue goods are all of the best and are of the regular stock, the prices are some thing appalling to all. They seem toe low to be true but nevertheless they ale true and bargains are the order of the day, genuine ones too. In every depart ment the same rule prevails to let some things go at half price and regardless oi the value of an article it is to go and the motto throughout the whole store is that with regard to goods at least that ''theil room is better than their company One who misses the great benefit to tn, buyer coming through this sale is cer tsinly unwise to say the least and ths they will regret it later is fact.
 If one reads the advertisement th* person is sure purchaser if he only Nll look at the prices and compare theu with the prices made by other person
 on the same goods. Also trv and remcm
 Der the former prices made by the Ho
 land Co., on the same goods and note u the change. It has been said that person is foolish to buy goods becAu they can be bought at B bargain. Th'
 are not go foolish however as the cu who lets bargain slip by aud then pay
 three times as much for it later on whe it is needed. The reader of the adve tisement on another page is not of tn
 foolish kind.

PRELIMINARY TRIAL
Of Alleged Murderers of Cobb and Da-
 wis Began Yesterday

The preliminary trial of the twelve ne- groes, charged with the murder of Richard Cobb and Charlie Davis, who were killed at Ishkooda on the night of July b last, was begun yesterday before Justice J. L. Harwen of Ishkooda and Justice H. B. Abernathy of this city in the criminal court room of the county court house.
 A large number of negroes from Ish- kooda, friends of the accused men, were in attendance and took much interest in the proceedings
 The defendants Bill Pegram, Tom James, Zac Ely, Loney Walker. Ruben Vickers, Frank Ford Moose Hooker, John Johnson, Ed Turnbugh, Glenn Charleston and Joe Bates, were brought into the court room but it was decided to try only two of them Bill Pegram and zac Ely, and the others were taken back to jail.
 The state was represented by Former Assistant Solicitor Hugh Morrow and the defendants by Attorneys c. P. Beddow, Lee Cowart and Sam Weaver.
 It is charged that the defendants were the instigators of a conspiracy to kill the negroes who were brought from Georgia to take their places in the ore mines at Ishkooda, and that the entire matter was agreed upon at a meeting of the striking miners held at 12 o'clock on the day of the shooting.
 Both sides announced ready for trial, and < plea of not guilty was entered, and the trial began.
 A number of witnesses were examined by both sides, the defense seeking to esr tablish an alibi.
 The testimony was concluded at 4:15 o'clock, and on account of the lateness of the hour adjournment was taken until to- morrow morning at Il o'clock, when the arguments will be made and the case sub mitted.
 The same defense will be made in the case against the other defendants, and it is probable that the decision in the cases on trial will settle all the cases.

 Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. s06 Findley St., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham:

Want a Camp Here

"dht Oanp here
 Since the discussion has arisen with bright prospects for a "Schley Day." a Roosevelt" and other military features for the state fair in Birmingham, the Ala abama National Guard are anxious to go into camp at Birmingham. The suggestion is made by the local brigade that brigade encampment be held. There is but one req son why this can not be done, and that is that the Guard is without tents, and with out funds with which to purchase them. If the directors of the fair, or the citizens of Birmingham will provide tents, there is but little doubt but that they can make the military special feature of the fair. The fund in the state treasury to the credit of the Guard for the purpose of holding an encampment is s12,OOO, ample for all the ex- penceS save the tents. The funds to tho credit Of the auartermaster's department was exhausted in the purchase of uniforms to equip the Guard when reorganized. The attorney general of the United States con- strues the reorganization act passed by the last congress as only providing ord- nance supplies for those confiscated from the states by the war department when organizing the volunteer army for the Cu- ban campaign. Consequently when Adju- tant General Brandon went to Washington to secure supplies to equip the Alabama guard, he could only secure ordnance sup- plies. It required all of the 5000 to the credit of the quartermasters department to purchase uniforms.
 If Birmingham desires the military boys for the state fair, they will be glad to go. Tents will not cost more than $1 O0O.
 An Interesting Case
 An interesting decision has come to light in regard to the ineligibility of one man to hold two offices of profit at the same time, and the fact of his accepting a sec- ond place vacates the first office held. The case comes from Dallas county. Major Wailes, who was a member of General Wheeler's staff during the war between the states, held the position of jury commis- sioner and when the governor was appoint ing pension commissioners under the act of the recent legislature, Major Wailes was recommended from Dallas, and was ap- pointed as one of the examiners. A few days ago the jury commission of Dallas met to draw the jurors for the fall term of the courts. The question was raised that the jury commission was not completed, a vacancy being created by virtue of the fact that Major Wailes had vacated the oce of jury commissioner when he accepted the office of pension examiner. The decis- ion governing the case was sent to the governor, and, he agreed that it was good. Major Wailes sent in his resignation as pension examiner, and was reapponted on the jury commission.

Pe- ru-na has gained such great popularity in the treatment of all diseases of the genito-urinary organs, because of its al- most magical influence over all catarrhal diseases. The curative effect of Pe-ru-na in all diseases of the kidneys, bladder and urethra is too well known to need comment; and when it is remembered that tho majority of these affections are of catarrhal origin, and that Pe-ru-na is a specific for catarrh, wherever located, the fact is explained.
