STRANGERS BROTHER
Came to Take Him Home to ITALIA.
dega

Oliver Logan arrived In the city from
Fayetteville yesterday, and will take his
demented brother back to Talladexa coun-
ty today. Mr.. Logan is brother of the
strange man who has been so i'll In u tene-
ment house in Twentieth street for the
past few days. The city physician and the
city authorities decided that the man was
insane and was harboring some crime in
his mind. This fact was brought out from
several letters found in his pocket warming
him to flee from the officers.
Mr.. Logan, who came to this city in
search of his brother, says he has had
these insane attacks before, and that his
brother has not committed any crime. He
says that his brother-in-law has had some
trouble, and he supposed this was what the
letters referred to- The chief of police tel
egraphed the sheriff of Taladega county
- low If the man was wanted there, but
. reply was received until Oliver Logan
came after his brother yesterday.
The man who has been so strangely Ill
has as yet shown no sign OF Improvement,
and the physicians have fears of his re-
covery. He will probably be taken back to
Fayetteville today.

FIVE MILE STATION

Water Supply-Superintend
Lynn at Cahaba

The investigation of the water supply,
which has been begun by the city and
health authorities, is being prosecuted, and
fun report with recommendations will
probably be made at the next meeting of
the city council.
Mayor Drennen, City Engineer Kendrick,
Alderman Heidi and DIR. Cunningham Will
son, who visited the Cahaba pumping sta
tion and reservoirs of the Water Works
company on Thursday yesterday went to
the Five Mile creek station, and found
things in fairly good condition.
The party left the city hall shortly. after
l o'clock, and did not return until after
nigihtfall. The source of supply and reser-
voirs were carefully gone over and in
spected.
Dr. Brown was seen last night and said
that conditions We're fairly good, although
the condition about the source of supply

were bad
superintendent Lynn, of the Water Works
company, went out to the Cahaba station
TO look after the sanitary conditions as re-
ported by the city officials. He did not re-
turn to the city last night, but probably
stayed on the scene to personally direct the
work of correcting the evils complained
of.

~THE PLAY@

1.-THE Royal Box" at O'Bren'e .. IRA
of the fifth act, very satisfactory play.
1t is a romantic drama, founded upon a ro-
mantle drama by Alexander Dumas, put
adapted, remodeled and rewritten by 'Ir
Coghlan.
The first act and even the second ac.
were very prosy, but in the three last acts
the dramatic fire and genius of Mr.. Cogh-
Ian as Clarence, an actor, shone out. He
fairly carried the play through the five
acts.
The play is, in subs tance, the story of
Clarence and his troubles and love affairs,
and into his life comes a young actress,
Celia Physe, a part taken by Miss Coghlan.
Miss Lolita Linthecum, as Countess Helen,
also made Clarence's life much more lively.
She disappears at a critical time in her
career at least, and her fate remains a
perpetual mystery. She may have jumped
into the Thames, or she may not have
jumped at all. Mr.. Coghlan, in rewriting
the drama, left her fate unsolved.
Excellent bits of acting were presented by
Charles Chappelle. as Tips, constable,
and by William P. Sprague as Winch, the
landlord of the "Cat and Fiddle dnn.''
The entire play was we'll staged, and the
dresses were rich reproductions of the
dress of the early years of the century.
The scene is laid in London, and the play
as whole recalled London and London
ways of those days.

Senator Fairbanks was much interested to-
day in the statement from Washington
that a temporary Alaskan boundary line
has been agreed upon. thus for the time dis

United States and the subjects of Great
Britain The discovery of gold in the Por-
cupine district within the past year WITHIN
the disputed htne, has caused considerable
apprehension, u being feared that collis-
ion might occur between the citizens ana
subjects of the respective countries.
"Under the modus vivendi all possibility
of any serious friction will be removed
pending the final settlement of the perma-
nent boundry. The present line Is subject
of course to the ultimate determination OF
the boundary.

is using it for catarrh of the stomach,
and by her physicians advice is taking
personal experience of its value, and
gladly give it the highest endorsement.
Mrs. Robb Maher.
Systemic catarrh is that condition OF
the system produced by reflex irritation
from the pelvic organs. In the female
the catarrh may be of the womb or
bladder, as we'll as the rectum, which
has been fully described in the book on
pelvic catarrh, entitled "Health and
Beauty" In systemic catarrh the lungs,
heart, bowels, stomach, kidneys and all
other parts Of the mucous membrane arc
in q fabby, unhealthy condition. This
is due to q want of nerve supply IN
account Of nerve weakness.
The constant drain of nervous vitality
depletes the whole nervous system and
the mucous surfaces suffer accordingly.
This is the condition called systemic
catarrh. 1t very nearly resembles, and
there is really no practical difference,
between this condition and the condition
known as neurasthenia, or nervous
prostration.
Pe-ru-na will be found to effect an i'm
mediate and lasting cure in all cases of
systemic catarrh. 1t acts quickly and
beneficially on the diseased mucous
membranes, and with healthy mucous
membranes the catarrh can no longer
exist. "Health and Beauty" sent FREQ
to women only. Address DR.. Hartman,
