 open Williams Case.

He was continually surrounded by admiring friends, and numbers of his experiences in battles of the sixties, of San Juan and in the Philippines have been rehearsed. Friends have poured numberless ques- tions to the general and he has never failed with an entertaining answer.
 While surrounded by a group of friends General Wheeler was asked by prorni- nent Birminghamian: General, did you really climb that7'
 The question. altogether unexpected, slightly dazed the hero, but in a moment the reply came
 ''Why I climbed several trees"
 General Wheeler said he had not come to advise with the members of the Con- stitutional Convention, but was merely enroute to Memphis. and had stopped over for a day to greet his friends. He will proceed to Memphis tomorrow.
 General Wheeler has been in New York for three months. detained there by the illness of his daughter, Miss Annie Wheeler. It will be gratifying to all Ala bamians to know that Miss Wheeler is much improved, and her condition is no longer considered dangerous.
 It has been decided to hold another session of the Democratic caucus for the purpose of reopening the question of ex- cluding A E. Williams of Fillmore County from the Democratic caucus. The caucus will meet tomorrow at 4 o'clock. MT. Williams stated tonight that he felt sure that the caucus would admit him to seat, as several of the members opposing him yesterday had since declared their intention to change their votes.

Sore throat has many names. Some call it catarrh of the pharynx. It is also called chronic tonsilitis. Follicular pharyngitis is the name that doctors de- light to call it, as they generally prefer the longer words. Public speakers and preachers are so prone to have sore throat, that it Is sometimes calledY preachers sore throat.
 It makes little difference what namet we call it-just plain sore throat Is hard enough to bear without indulging in long names. Chronic sore throat gener- ally begins by scratching sensation in the throat, and there may be little dry ness or constant desire to keep swallow ing. Painful swallowing and hawking is sure to come later if nothing is done for 1t.
 Sore throat is almost certain, after 1t has become chronic, to gradually extend downward to the lungs. When this hap pens consumption is often the result
 The time to cure sore throat is in its early stages. A bottle or two of Peruna is sure to put stop to the whole thing. If MT. Charles D. Smyth, whose testi- monial appears here had used Peruna at the beginning of his trouble, he would have been saved years of sickness caused by neglecting to use Peruna in time.
 Charles D. Smyth, of Angels Camp. Cal, says; "Chronic catarrh in the head, nose and throat has been a source of trouble and annoyance to me for more.| than ten years. I have used all such,l medicines as came under my notice as al catarrh cure without any help to me ex- cept at times by some, only temporarys relief, but no cure.

few preliminary arrangements for what
he considered the proper conduct of the
Office before being served with the in
junction, but since that time has refrain
ed from acting in any official way. He

for the Kansas City magnate. 1t was
understood that Beall, as chairman of
the circuit committee, has authority to
act. The numerous reported sales of
