SELMA
Litigation Over the Right to Railroad
 Crossing

Selma, Aug. S1.-(Special.) )-At ' o'clock last night, after an exhaustive argument by the counsel in the case, Judge Wood de- cided to grant the petition of the B. S. & N. O. R. R. for an easement over the right of way of the Southern near Milhous in this county.
 The attorneys for the Southern gave mo- tice of appeal and the question arose as to whether the appointment of commission to assess the damages should be made pend ing the appeal.
 At noon today the attorneys for the two roads again appeared in court and d bond in the sum of $5 was required on the appeal taken to the supreme court on the ex- captions to the ruling of the probate judge
 Judge Wood then appointed James Lau- derdale, Julien Smith and John A. Car son as commissioners to assess the dam ages These gentlemen will be notified to- day or tomorrow and then have ten days in which to report. From their findings an ap- peal can be taken to the circuit court, but this appeal cannot prevent the B. S & N. O. from going ahead and laying the cross- ing, provided a sufficient bond is given to guarantee the damages.
 It would appear that the work of the B. S. & N. O. on it's extension will go right along. unless some other step known only to the legal craft should be taken.

Butler Heard from

London, August 31.-Lord Roberts, under date of Belfast August %, reports to the War Office as follows;
 ''Buller telegraphs from Helvetia that only a few of the enemy are there, and that this morning French's and Pole-Ca- rew's forces will move on their flank.
 'The advance of Dundonald's mounted troops on their front caused them to abandon very strong position. The coun- try thus cleared, our troops moved east ward.
 "The South African Light Horse, after little opposition entered Waterhaven and drove the remnant of the enemy through the town.
 ''French's column reached Doornhoek, overlooking Watervalonder, with slight op- position.
 "Dundonald with Strathcona's horse is further on at Nooigadacht We have oc- cupied Watervalhoven and Watervaldon.
 Butler reports that Nooilgadacht is ap- parenEy deserted except by British prlson- CTS who are passing in a continuous stream up the Nine towards Watervaldoner No Boers are visible. The natives report tina t Kruger and all the commanders left yes- terday for Pilgrims Rest.
 French reports the railway intact as far as Watervaldoner, except for a small bridge near the station, which has been de- stroyed."

Denied in Washington

Washington, August 31.--The government has lost no funds through the reported hold up on the Union Pacific Railroad in Wyoming yesterday. At least careful in quiry at the War Department shows that no funds were in transit to the troops in Manila Nor were any of the staff bureaus at War Department sending any money by that train to the Philippines or to China. 1t is said at the War Department if the department had been sending money in this way it would not be the loser in case of robbery for the express companies as- sume the responsibility for the safe trans fer of the money and the loss would fall upon them.

Many of the charitable and benevolent
institutions OF the United States use Pc
runa. They do so because they have
learned by experience that it is a valuable
medicine.
Not only is II a valuable medicine, but II
is applicable TO the climatic ailments OF
winter and summer. Extremes OF heat
and cold in the United States make It a
land OF catarrh.
Nearly everybody has catarrh. This
is more especially true among the middle
and lower classes. Exposure to the cli-
mate hard work and unventilated sleep
ing rooms are the principal causes. Char
liable institutions have found, by bitter
experience. that catarrhal Diseases not
only are the most numerous OF all other
diseases put together. but they are tho
hardest to cure.
Peruna is specific for this class OF dis
eases. No other remedy can take It's
place. Thousands OF cases OF chronic
catarrh are cured by the use OF simply
bottle. People who have spent large sums
TO be cured of catarrh. have turned 10
Peruna as a last resort. and been cured
by the use OF a single bottle
