CANNON BALL PILLS.

Medicine.
Thousands Are Suffering From Mercurial Pill
Poison Taken In Youth-Days of
the Pills Are Past.

Do you want health?
Then keep your bowels clean and your
liver lively!
1t has always been known that consti-
patton is the cause of nearly all disease,
but the way of treating it has changed.
The old way was to make up sicken-
ing black draught," or still worse, an
explosive shotgun" cartridge of cal
omel aloes, jalap, gamboge, croton oil,
blue mass, colocynth-the larger the bull
let the better-and after the patient had
swallowed the dose, thrown the bowels
into spasms and turned the liver inside
out, he was settled for few days-fre-
Quently forever.
The most dangerous medicine Of all
was the mercurial pill-poison which lodg-
ed in the blood and joints producing life
long aches.
Force is folly, If you have any regard
for your well being. When 1t becomes
necessary to stir up your liver and have
a general internal cleaning up, take Cas-
carets Candy Cathartic, and produce
natural action in a nice, gentle, quiet,
positive way.
Cascarets are up to date, antiseptlc,

ENGLAND'S TASK
 IN SOUTH AFRICA

London, December 19.-Lord Salisbury's gloomy reference to South Africa yester- day at the conference of the National Union Conservative session causes much heart burning. The conservative press, re- luctant to admit that the situation is worse, complains of the premier's needless pessimism. The Daily News asks whether Lord Salisbury's utterance foreshadow the news of another reverse, and it suggests that the government has received dis patches from Lord Kitchener asking for more troops on the ground that the war, instead of being finished, is entering upon a new and difficult phase. All the papers are urging the government to do every thing possible to support Lord Kitchener. The Queens message to the volunteers was evidently designed to soothe the general disappointment over their retention in the field. There are rumors current that the government is not able to respond to ap- peals from South Africa to send out more regulars. The abandonment of the thanksgiving service in St. Pauls bringing vividly home to the public the fact that there is still much work to be done in South Africa.

DIFFERENT VIEWS
 OF THE SITUATION Company Says the Men Want to
 be ReinStated N CONFERENCE.-THE TRAIN MEN Photographers Say That They Do Not Desire to Return to Work Until
 Demands are Granted, and
 RidcuIe Statement.
CONFERENCE.-THE TRAINMEN

Chicago, December 1S-According to statement Issued tonight by J. M Barr, third vice president of the Santa Fee Railroad, the committe composed of representatives of the different railway organizations who have taken up the grievances of the strik- ing telegraphers, consider the strike mis- take. and at tomorrows conference noth- ing but the unemployment of the telegra- phers will be requested from the company. MT. Barr claims that his company has full force of telegraph operators, and that business is moving under normal conditions.
 The purpose of the meeting is differently regarded by the striking telegraphers. The latter declare that is ridiculous to suppose that men representing other unions work ing on the system called for the conference to intercede with the officials to reinstate the strikers, as the strike has not been de- cared off, and the operators do not de- sire to return to work.
 J. T. Austin, vice president of the Broth erhood of Commercial Telegraphers, and a number of tine Order of Railway Telegra- phers said:
 From information received it appears that the committee will endeavor to induGe the officials to adjust the differences which caused the strike. So far as the strike be- ing over, it has only begun and those who are out are not at all worried over the ultimate result. There have been few de- sertions and evidence in hand is indicative that the better class of telegraphers who are out of work have no disposition to take the places left vacant by the union men,"
 The strikers refused to talk on the proba- bility of a sympathetic strike of the other employees of the road, saying that in the absence of President Dolphin, who ex- toa hnr lot ,icrnf tInxr I0olya in- formation. The committee which will con fer with the railroad officials consists of James Roddy, chairman of the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen Wm F. Hut ton, chairman O. the Order of Railway Con- ductors, and R. c. Scott, chairman of the Order of Railway Trainmen.

AMUSEM IS.

Decidedly one of the most unique presen- tations at the Jefferson Theatre this season was the appearance last night of Miss Rose Melville in Sis Hopkins" one of the most refreshing and delightful rural comedies ever seen on the local stage. In the title role which is suggestive of the country air, this clever little actress made decided hit. The scenes of the play are laid In Hoozierland, and Sis is pure type of the rustic lasse As the awkward, bashful country girl, Miss Melville was excellent, and her interpretation almost made one forget that she was acting, so naturally did she assume the role. Of course the plot evolves the character, and Sis poses through the stages of seminary life and a change in family conditions until she stands before the audience a full-fledged society belle, with fine clothes and manners, but in the last act, in order to call back her fathers memory, which has become tenn porariy deranged, she assumes again the dress and manner of her simple rustic life
 Miss Melville was supported by good company, and the play was interspersed with clever specialties, which are woven Into the plot, giving bouyancy and snap.
 The play is clain and wholesome and it's presentation lat night was greatly enjoyed by the audience.

SOUTHERN WINS
 4 FAMOUS CASE Supreme Court Says the B. s. & N. 0. Road Can't Cross
 Tracks at Selma

Selma December IS. - Especially = The Supreme Court today handed down its de- cision in the famous case of the Southern Railroad vs. the Birmingham, Southern and New Orleans Railroad. The decision, which was rendered by Chief Justice Me Lellan, covers nine pages of closely written matter, and will not be received in this city until midnight However, telegrams to the attorneys state that the Southern wins the case, and how the Birmingham, Southern and New Orleans Is to get across the tracts of the Southern is problem yet unsolved
 It will be remembered tlfat when the Birmingham, Southern and New Orleans built up to the Southern's track they sent word to the Southern that they intended to put in a crossing on a certain day. Before the day arrived the Southern had built a side track and placed fifteen box cars across the point where the Birmingham, Southern and New Orleans intended to cross Then came an application for an easement over the right of way of the Southern, which was granted by the Pro- bate Court and from which an appeal was taken by the Southern. The Birmingham, Southern and New Orleans went to work and put in the crossing on the easement be- Ing granted put the Southern took 1t up again.
 An injunction was then obtained from Chancellor Smith by the Southern restrain ing the Birmingham, Southern and New Orleans from interfering with the right of way and side track. This injunction was finally modified by the chancellor, but the modification suited neither side and both appealed Before the appeal was filed the Birmingham, Southern and New Orleans again put in its crossing amid exciting scenes In which a Southern engineer was forced to leave his cab and the cars on the side track moved out of the way. Then while two cars of rails were left on the crossing over the Southern side track the latter backed train of cars into the Bir- mingham, Southern and New Orleans cars, again checkmating the attempt to hold the advantage gained.
 The decision of the Supreme Court is on the matter of the injunction granted by the chancellor, and in effect is that the chancellor was right in granting the in- junction and wrong in modifying it. What the next move of the Birmingham, Southern and New Orleans will be will not be made public for a few days and until the decision is looked into.
 There is considerable feeling evidenced among the citizens, as the building of the Birmingham. Southern and New Orleans extension means considerably more cotton for Selma

AFTER THE LYNCHERS.
Governor Mount Says Members of the
 Mob Will Be Punished.

Indianapolis, Ind, December 1s.-Gover- nor Mount said tonight concerning the triple lynching of the negroes in Spencer County:
 No stone will be left unturned to run down these perpetrators of mob violence, the deliberate and vicious violators of the laws of the State, and visit upon them a vigorous prosecution and a just retribution in the courts. I am determined this crime of wholesale outlawry shall not go unpun- ished if it is possible for the men who led in it to be brought into court. Such out rages blacken the fair name of thls State, and if I can prevent 1t this one shall not be permitted to go unpunished."
