For recruiting the strength and
spent energies of men and women adj
Yanced in years, there can be no sub
stitute for Paine's celery compound.
1t is the one preparation considered
worthy the name of true nerve food
and blood remedy by physicians
throughout the country. 1t is pre-
scribed by them in every state in the
Union to tone up the system, regu-
late the nerves, and restore health
and strength.
Nothing in the past has ever APP
preached it in power OF building up
weakened nerve tissues and-glYlng
strength to the tired body. In severe
cases of persiatent headaches, dyspep-
STA, neuralgia, and sleeplessness, due
to nervous feebleness, PaIne's celery
compound has record of rapid and
lasting cures that embraces every CITY
and town in the wide sweep of the
United States,
It's remarkable power over disease
lies in its active replacing of WORKOUT
parts by new, healthy ones, and it's
healing and purifying action among
the most minute tissues of the body.
The heavy, alarming pain in the
back and lion disappears; the growing
paleness, nervousness, and loss of
flesh is stopped, and bright, buoy
ant feeling gradually takes the place
Of that unending sense of tire and ner-
vous depression.
An improved appetite, sound diges-
ton; uninterrupted sleep, and an en-
ergetic nervous condition invariably
follow the use of Paine's celery COM
pound.

Unless the whole mind is given to q

A RUNAWAY HORSE
Comes Very Near Causing a Serious
 Accident.

runaway horse came very near caus- ing a serious accident yesterday morning to the family of Walter K. McAdory, clerk of the Circuit Court. MT. McAdory's car riage had been driven up to the Twenty first street side of the courthouse and was standing close to the curbing. Inside the carriage were MT. McAdorys two children, his wifes sister Mrs. Mary Bass and the driver. The children were going on visit and had stopped by the courthouse to see their father. While standing there a run away horse and buggy belonging to B. F. Barber dashed around the corner, coming through Third avenue from the direction of Twentieth street. The horse seemed to be headed for the courthouse steps, but just before reaching these it turned and dashed up the sidewalk towards Fourth avenue. The driver of MT. McAdorys car riage jerked his horses head around just in time to avoid his being run into by the other horse. Had the runaway horse come six inches nearer there would have been serious accident. As it was, mud was thrown on the children and a wheel of their carriage struck, which frightened the horse. He started to run and broke the single tree. The driver held on to him, and was pulled over the dashboard and dragged as far as Third avenue. The carriage did not move out of it's tracks, and the horse was caught within a few blocks.
 The accident happened with in twenty feet of the place where Mrs. Pearson was injured

YOUNG WIPES DEATH.
Mrs. c. w. HartweIl Passes Away in
 California.

One of the loveliest, most gracious and most amiable of Alabama young women, Ms. Charles ". Hartwell, died at Long beach, California, last Wednesday, and very numerous friends in the valley and elsewhere sorrow that one so fair and so good should pass at the outset of what and mother.
 An unusually pathetic interest attaches to Mrs. Hartwells fatal illness, inasmuoh as it was contracted whilst she was upon her wedding journey. She was Miss Bessie Shannon, daughter of the late James Shau- non of Birmingham and sister of Super intendent John Shannon of the Ensley fur naces, and was married to MT. Hartwell In 1898. The two proceeded to Cincinnati in the course of their wedding journey, and there the bride caught cold. She was never well afterwards Consumption developed: Every day, even whilst the bridal roses were yet fresh, she failed in strength. Some weeks ago. escorted by her sister, Miss Katie Shannon, and the entire Hart well family, she travelled to California in search of the strength which failed to come to her here in her own valley. Now comes the message that the young wife has passed from earth.
 Mrs. Hartwells remains are being brought home for interment, and are ex- pected to reach Birmingham tomorrow or Sunday.

How to Run One

"Is the machine hard to operate"s
 No; it is all done by one lever The machine is started and stopped and the fire and steam shut off or turned on by the same lever There are no automatic devices about this make of automobile. Automatic devices are always out of fix. When the machine is stopped the fire is put out all except a pilot light. The fuel is gasoline gas, which is mixed with air, making a perfect combustion, which leaves no odor or smoke. When the automobile is standing this pilot light keeps up the steam, and when running the boiler is supplied with water by pumps, which the engine works There are two engines, which occupy space of 10 by 16 inches, and the boiler occupies space of 14 by 14 inches. It has A square feet of heating surface and is composed of 300 half-inch copper tubes When the machine is cold it only takes seven minutes to get up steam. Three minutes after turning on the pilot light the gasoline in the coil is vaporized, and in four minutes after turn ing on the burner I have steam enough to travel. Once started, I can climb any hill horse can go up."
 "In running do you not have to watch the road very closely?" he was asked
 "No more than in driving a buggy. It is not like riding a bicycle, where any rut or stone may upset you, and therefore requires a constant outlook. With the automobile you can straddle a stone or mudhole, and not having horse in front to obstruct the view as in driving, the road is plainly seen and does not have to be watched as closely as you would imagine.
 Summer is the time to appreciate auto- mobiles. You can ride for miles at any speed you wish. There is no horse to con- sider and no dust kicked up in your face As soon as the automobile becomes perfect 1t will come into general use, and I think that the machines like mine are the only ones which can be thus described at the present time."

Paul Stork, a negro porter employed by J. H. McCary & Co.,, died Wednesday night from lockjaw as the result of injuries re- ceived by the explosion of a cannon fire cracker in his hand on New Years Day.
 The cracker was given to Stork by Mr. McCary, who cautioned him to set it off with care. The negro took the cracker home. and instead of obeying the warning he lit the cracker in the house and rushed to the door to throw it out, when the way was suddenly blocked by his wife, and the cracker exploded, tearing three fingers from his hand and lacerating it in terrible manner. The negro was given medical at tention, but lockjaw developed, and he died in great agony
