Peculiar Ideas Regarding Common
 Disease

Mark Twan's cure for cold in the head was simple, but he claims very effective in his own case; his plan was to eat nothing whatever for twenty-four hours or pre- sumably until the trouble has disappeared.
 Although not able to speak from personal experience as to the effectiveness of this treatment, it certainly has the merit of extreme economy, but 1t occurs to us that the application of it to case of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficult ties
 Catarrh, as everyone knows is chronic cold in the head and MT. Twain's treat ment, if it should become a fad, would make of us a nation of fasters: an army emulating the example of the immortal Tanner who achieved world wide fame by fasting forty days.
 Catarrh is certainly becoming national disease and there is little doubt but that errors in diet particularly over eating is a very common cause.
 Most people however are more interested in the cure of the trouble than in the cause, and modern medical science has produced more effective and less heroic remedies than Mr. Twain's.
 Guaiacol is new remedy, very effective in some forms of catarrh. Eucalyptol is another which on account of it's antiseptic properties is very valuable, while many severe cases of chronic catarrh have been entirely cured by the sanguinaria or ex- tract of Blood root alone.
 Within a year an enterprising chemist has combined all of these remedies in tablet form, palatable and convenient and the superiority of this tablet over other ca- tarrh remedies is so apparent that all druggists now carry them in stock to sup ply .-.e popular demand.
 They are ca..ed Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and it is doubtful if any medicine has achieved national popularity in so short time as this.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by thousands of travelling men because they Gan be carried in the pocket and used any time and in any quantity being free from Cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug.
 They clear the head and throat from the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very often in few hours time.
 For nasal catarrh they are far superior to any wash, lotion or ointment the use of which is often as inconvenient and annoy ing as the disease itself
 For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh and catarrh of the stomach these tablets give immediate relief and a permanent cure where lotions, douches and inhalers make no impression whatever.
 This preparation is a boon to catarrh suf- ferers and any druggist will tell you that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets Is remedy that has come to stay.

WHITE MAN KILLED
 IN DRUNKEN ROW The Tragic End of a HOpjack
 Party. JURYS VERDICT IS MURDER J. N. Clark, White Man Employed by Oliver 6 Company on the. Ensley Southern, Quarreled With
 Jim Clark and is Killed
JURY'S VERDICT IS MURDER

l J. N. Clark, age about 22 years, who was 1 employed as a clerk in a commissary of the l w J. Oliver Contracting Company, about eight miles north of Ensley, was killed on Tuesday night, and Jim Clark, colored, is in the Jefferson County jail charged with
 murdering him. Two other negroes, whose names are withheld by the county of- fcials, are supposed to have been impli- cated in the murder.
 J. N. Clark, 1t is stated, had been drink ing with the negroes and became involved in quarrel with the negro Clark over the latter's wife. It is said the negro had been away for awhile and on his return sought the white man for the purpose of settling the trouble The white Clark and the black Clark, it is stated, met with number of negroes and together sought a "hop jack dispensary, where all imbibed freely of the beverage recently tabooed by Judge Greene. By the liberal intaking of malt spirits there was created a goodly quan- tity of bad spirits among the men, and the quarrel began with at least three negroes on the one side and the white Clark on the other. Angry words were quickly followed by numerous pistol shots, and when the smoke of battle cleared away the white man lay dead upon the ground and the negro Clark and two of his companions were missing. The eight miles between the camp and
 Ensley were quickly covered by messen- ger who carried news of the tragedy to | the chief of police at the latter place. It was about ? o'clock yesterday morning when Chief of Police Camp and special officer from Ensley started to the railroad camp for the purpose of experimenting the slayers of Clark. They arrived at the camp and immediately instituted search for the men who, they were informed, had killed Clark.
 Coroner Paris was informed of the crime at an early hour yesterday morning and went out to the locality of it's cimmission and held an inquest. The verdict of the jury empaneled by him was to the effect that Clark had been murdered by Jim Clark colored, and two other negroes, Later in the day Jim Clark was arrested and is now in the Jefferson County jail The officers hope to have the other two . men implicated within short time.
 w. J. Oliver and Company have the con- tract for constructing the twenty miles of the Ensley Southern road between Ensley and the Little Warrior river, and J. N. Clark was employed by them in one of their commissaries.
 J. N. Clark's pistol was found near his body yesterday morning with an unexplod- ed cartridge in each chamber showing that he had not fired it during the fight One of the negroes is said to have been shot in the leg, but it is supposed to have been accidental.

AMUSEME

Apart from the fact that it is based upon Marie Corelli's unwhoesome criticism, the performance of William A. Brady's produc- ton of '"The Sorrows of Satin at the Jef- ferson Theatre last night was superb. The players had to play with the Corelli wo- mans gross and offensive immoralities; but they played masterfully. It was the best company seen here in a long while; as good stage work as any one could wish to see. It would be difficult to praise the company too highly.
 MT. Edward R. Mawson in the leading role was remarkably good. Undoubtedly he is very able actor MT. Walter R. Sey- mour was most excellent, and Miss Emily Dodd as Lady Syhil displayed notable power. The entire company is amongst the best yet seen in Birmingham.
 The players were capital. The play-was Marie CorellPs.

STATEMENT OR THE
 STATES FINANCES
Condition at Close of Fiscal Year
 Ending September 30.
THE DEFICIT IS REDUCED
Some Interesting Comparative Figures at the End of Governor John ston's Term Considered
 Creditable Showing

Age-Heralds Bureau, Clancey's Hotel, Montgomery. October S.-(Special)-Au tor White has issued a condensed state ment of the financial condition of the State government for the fiscal year end- ing September 30.
 According to the auditors estimate there was deficit of $1S4564 g at the end of the year. This report is especially interesting, since it practically shows the condition of the States finances at the ending of Gov ernor Johnstons term. The treasury con- ditions have caused considerable comment for the past two years because of dis pute as to the deficit when Governor John- ston went into office.
 At the end of the fiscal year 1897 the auditors report showed deficit Of $55z'- 95S.57. When Governor Johnston went into office he had appointed a joint legislative committee to ascertain the condition of the States finances, and this committee re- ported the deficit at s56S, ,065.S4 on January l. 1897. It was subsequently shown that this committee included in their estimate loans amounting to about $2OO,00O. It IS this fact that has caused the contention.
 Governor Jones stated in his message Of November II, 1894, that the deficit on Sep tember 30, 1894, was $S64, ,353. 65.
 Governor Oates in his annual message of November, 1896, fixed the deficit at that time at $225 1T.54. Auditor White, in his first report, stated the deficit for the year ending September 3o 1897, at $352, ,95S.5 57, and said that his conclusions'' were that there was only d slight difference In the condi- ton of the treasury at that date and 1S96
 From these figures it is shown that the deficit has been reduced during tue admin istration of GQYeTpQr Jolinston S16S, ,SS9 35 which is considered a very creditable show ing
