DALLAS POLITICS.
Much Interest Is Being Manifested in
 Race for Delegate.

Selma, March 13.-(Special.)-Witht the constitutional convention primaries only five days off, there has developed quite a deal of political interest, though the only opposition is for a delegation to the state convention from the senatorial district which consists of Dallas county.
 Hon. Francis l.. Pettus, known perhaps all over the state, and Hon. H. l.. Mckee, who has been very active in securing the passage of a bill calling the convention, are the contestants for the high honor of representing this district. There is no op- position for delegates from the county, and Hons. H. s. D. Mallory, B. F. Ellis and J. R. Satterfield will be the nominees.
 A week ago the wise ones predicted that MT. Pettus was a defeated man. But there has been many changes since then accord ing to the same wise ones, and now it seems that MT. Pettus' star is in the ascen- dancy. The end though has not come, and it will require the count of the returns to tell whose delegation is elected to the state convention.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM

Mrs. ". D. PAXTON, Youngstown, North Dakota, writes about her strug' gle to regain health after the birth oi her little girl:
 DEAR Mas. PINKHAM: It is with pleasure that add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your val uable medicine.
 After the birth of my little girl three years ago, my health was very poor. I had leucorrhea badly, and terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men situations were very profuse, appear ing every two weeks.
 "Itook medicine from good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for bottle oI Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com ponnd, and after taking two-thirds oi the bottle felt so much better that l send for two more. After using three bottles felt as strong and well as any one.
 'I think it is the best medicine foI female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady meet sui. fering from this trouble"
 Maternity is Q wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women.
 The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax. ton had written to Mrs Plnkham be- fore confinement she would have been saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkharos address is lynn, Mass.

Speaker Reed has taken no pains to con- ceal his hostility to President Mckinley personally, to his whole administration and to its policy
 Some of the particular reasons that make 1t desirable, if not necessary, that the speaker of the house should be more in accord with the administration in the next congress are that the following subjects in which the president Is much interested will come up for consideration and action:
 Tho Nicaragua canal.
 Army legislation.
 Governments for Porto Rico and Hawaii.
 Legislation respecting the Philippines.
 President Mckinley is very anxious that the Nicaragua canal be started under his administration. He wants free course in the next congress for the legislation that will then become necessary on the subject.
 Congressman Sherman is known to favor the canal. He is friendly to the expansion policy.
 He could obtain the support of practically the entire New York delegation, which would be a great help in the race for the speakership. Therefore MT. Sherman will be the administration candidate for that place if he will mako the fight

m,K1NLEY AFTER REEDS SCALP.
It is Said He Wants sherman of New York
 As the Next Speaker.
m the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
 President Mckinley has decided, 1t Is said, to declare war on Speaker Reed.
 He has caused it to be suggested to Rep- resentative James Sherman, of New York, that If he would decline the appointment recently offered him as a member of the board of general appraisers, and if he would make the race for the speakership against MT. Reed, he could be assured of the hearty support of the administration.
 MT. Sherman has been confirmed In his new position, but he has not yet accepted the place. There Is still time for him to consider the presidents proposition and to retain his seat in the house of representa- lives. Whether he will do this is very un- certain, for tho reason that he and Speaker Reed are warm personal friends. and he might hesitate to epter into a contest with him even for the sake of the admfnistra- tlon. Mir. Sherman is now at his home in Utica.

 The system practiced by Collector Long with reference to his abstract and stub books is an excellent one, and consists in numbering the taxpayers consecutively by beats, and having stub-books prepared, one for each beat, containing stubs and att tached receipts with corresponding num- bers, and additional number of such stubs and receipts sufficient to meet the probable demand for escaped taxes On these stub-books are entered the taxpayers, each according to his number on the ab- stracts book, before he begins his colec- tions. On the receipts not used by reason of failure to collect he enters his memo randa showing the reason in each case. From these memoranda his lists of errors, insolvencies and delinquents Such sys- tenn strictly carried out is a protection to the collector as well as the public interests committed to his care"
