TESTIMONY TOO
 BAD TO PRINT
HEARING CONTINUED IN CASE OF THEODORE AND LAURA JACK SON = PRISONERS KISSED AS THEY LEAVE THE DOCK.

London, October 16.-When the hearing of the charges. against Theodore and Laura Jackson (Ann Odelia Dis DeBar) was resumed in the Police Court today. the woman entered the dock dressed in spotless white. She placed her hands to- gether before her face and closed her eyes in the attitude of prayer The crowded room was silent. The hearing was devoted to revolting testimony of the behavior of the male defendant toward young wom- an who was one of the victims of the pair. The alleged deceptions were accom- panied by hypnotic influence.
 As the prisoners left the dock they were hissed by the spectators. Jackson cried: Keep quiet you reptiles
 The testimony was of such character that the London papers, which usually print verbatim reports of sensational criminal trials, say that in this instance they are unable to do so

VAST NUMBER
 OF HAWAII LEPERS
eoe ARE IN THE LEPER SETTLE. MENTs, ACCORDING TO A RE. PORT FROM CHIEF QUARANTINE OTHER coFER.

Washington, October 16-There are now 909 lepers and 164 clean persons at the Molokai leper settlements in Hawaii according to report just issued by Chief Quarantine Officer Cofer, in charge of the marine hospital work in Hawaii All these are housed, fed, clothed and governed for $SO.OOO year. The report praises the way in which these poor people resign themselves to their fate and points out that such contentment can thrive only on comfortable mode of life and good treatment.
 Surgeon Cofer reports that he made careful inquiries as to the chances of the infection of the clean people working among the 1epers and that the general opinion was that in time they would be- come lepers. The result of known ex- posture to leprosy, says the report shows an uncertainty as to the chances of indi- vtdual infection which makes the disease one of the most difficult to operate against. Women are said to be less lia- ble The three oldest patients at the set clement arrived in 1S74-75 and '97, respect lively. The number of commitments to the settlement each year during the last decade. ranging from 132 in 1891 to S5 in 1900, show a gradual decrease despite the fact that the hunt for lepers throughout the islands has never before been so vigorous

OPELIKA
Negroes Hear Joint Debate of Knox
 and StaIIings.

Opelika, Octiber 16.-(SpeciaI. )-There were a large number of negroes out Monday to hear the joint discussion be- tween Colonels Knox and Stallings. They gave the latter the closest attention and liberally applauded his attacks on the new constitution. They seem to derive much consolation and satisfaction from Stallings' speech, and consider him a second Moses, come to lead them out of the wilderness of disfranchisement. They saw the Democracy of Alabama organ izing in solid phalanx to disfranchise them, and they welcome such champions as Stallings as a nucleus around which to rally the black coharts and defeat the will of the white Democracy. They could comprehend his speech and style of ora- tory.
 The most intelligent among them ac- knowledge the new constit ution as far superior to the old one, but as the most important provision of the new Consti- tution will result in their practical dis franchisement they are solidly against 1t.
 Circuit Court convened Monday, Judge A. A. Evans presiding. The grand jury was organized. with MT. c. E. Little of Auburn as foreman. The judge delivered an explicit and, lucid charge to the grand jury, which immediately began its in- vestigations. There are large numbers of witnesses before the grand jury, and the court will have the largest criminal docket for years.
 This morning about a. m. a residence known as the Lee house, about one and one-half miles north of Opelika, occupied by man named Waters, with all of its contents, was completely destroyed by fire. Loss $70O. No insurance; cause of fire unknown.

NATARRH of the stomach is one of the |, most common diseases of modern
 times. This disease is generally known as dyspepsia. At first people try to cure themselves by dieting or using some one of the many pills and powders recommended for this affection. After that generally Q doctor is consulted. The stomach is oscultated, the liver thumped and the blame fastened upon some one of the digestive organs.
 Many of these people go the rounds from doctor to doctor without receiving any benefit. Sooner or later they arc bound to hear of Peruna.
 It would not be possible to find any town or city in this country where some one could not be found who has beer cured of catarrh of the stomach by Pe runa. Once cured these people con tinue to recommend Peruna as long as they live.
 In this way the dyspepsia victim is sure to hear of Peruna. The news of Peruna's virtues is spread among the people by those who have used it and have been cured which is thousand times more effective than all the adver- tisements in the world. Having heard that Peruna cured some one else he tries it. His experiment almost invariably ends in complete cure.
 What the doctor has called dyspepsia or liver complaint or indigestion was catarrh of the stomach all the while. All that the patient needed was rem edy that would cure catarrh wherever located.
 This is the sort of @ remedy that Pe- runa is. Peruna cures catarrh by re- moving the cause, when the symptoms
