CAPTURED IN MERIDIAN
MAN WHO ROBBED PosToFFIcE
 AT MARION.
Admits That He is Guilty of the Crime-Had . Kit of Burglars Tools and Explosives
 in Satchel.

Marion. June 1i.-(SpeciaD-The man who committed the postoftice robbery at this place Tuesday night was brought to Marion on this morning s train from Meridian, where he was captured last night by D. P. Boggess, travelling salesman who had followed him from Dernopolis.
 MT. BoEgess telegraphed to Meridian for ofncers to meet the train. WfGn the train stopped the robber was im- mediately arrested and held until the first train for Marion,
 The man. who is a fair type of the professional thief. gave him name as J. P. Kelly, and says his home Is in Missouri. He freely admitted his guilt. It Is not known whether there were accompiices to the robbery or not. Two hundred and thirty-six dollars was found on his person. which was ss0 in excess of the sum taken from the safe. Two small bottles. unlabeled. were taken from a satchel which he carried. One unquestionably contains prussic acid. The other evidently is nitro glycerine. as he said. when the officers handled it rather roughly. Be careful how you fool with that damned stun.
 A set of burglar teols were also found in the satchel together with small syringe which he had bought from Reid & Shivers of Marion the day be- fore the robbery and it Is supposed he used it to inject the nitro glycerine Into the safe. Kelley has been identi- fled as a suspicious character noticed on the streets Tuesday

DANDY IS DEAD.
Boguehomme's Pet Now Romping Around in Canine Elysion Fields.

Boguehomme's Pet Now Romping
 Around in Canine Elysion Fields.
 There is sorrow in Boguehomme; the settlement in wrapped in mourning. Dandy Is dead. Everybody in Bogue- homme knew Dandy. He was the proudeSt and most popular dog that ever roamed about the streets in that neighborhood. When Dandy first came to Boguehomme, twenty years ago, the inhabitants were not aware of the names of his antecedents, but because of his sterling worth. he was called Dandy.
 No dog ever loafed about the butcher shops that received more scraps than he. The small boy with his marbles would not dare disturb him should be lie asleep on the play ground. Dandy played ball with the boys. romped with the girls, hunted with the sportsmeR and fought with the dogs. In the dog world of Boguehomme he was king. Among the inhabitants he was watch dog, street dog. yard dog and lap dog, and the dogma of that neighborhood was that he was the dog gondest best dog that ever came to Boguehomme. The funeral took place yesterday.

THEY HAD A HEARING
CITIZENS OF BIRMINGHAM BE
 FORE COMMITTEE.
Board of Trade of the Magic City Seeks to Restrict Municipal
 Taxation-Mayor Dren- nen is Here.

The Committee on Municipal Corpo- rations of the Constitutional Conven- ton, of which Hon. John B. Weakley of Florence is chairman, gave the Bir- mingham Board of Trade hearing last night.
 MT. John W. Tomlinson, the regular attorney for the Board of Trade, has been in Montgomery for several days. and yesterday morning. he was joined by Capt. W. c. Ward.
 The merchants representing the com mittee, as enumerated above, came to back up the attorneys and give any as- sistance that might be required.
 Those who came were Captain W. C.. Ward, M. V. Joseph, J. w. Dewberry, William Yielding, Oscar Venable. Oh- yer Chalifcux, Henry Fowlkes. Mayor W. M. Drennen also came and listened to the argument presented before the committee.
 The Birmingham Board of Trade asks for the incorporation of an ordinance in the Constitution to be framed by the Constitutional Convention restricting cities and towns in the State in the levying of taxes or privilege licenses.
 The committee met last night and heard Prof. J. W. Dewberry and Capt. w. c. Ward, who both. made strong speeches in behalf of their side of the question. The committee will hear further argument today.
 Mayor w. M. Drernen said that he was not satisfied that the question was one for constitutional enactment and was not fully convinced that cities could not protect their own interests and that of their merchants just as well as the Constitution could force them to do.
 Mayor Weakley is at the head of the Alabama League of Municipalities and observing that this question was one in which more cities than one had an interest, and especially the Mayor of Birmingham, he sent out invitations for an attendance on the part of the Mayors. Mayor Drennen did not state that he would oppose tine resolution or ordinance adopted by the Board of trade at the special meeting recently held, but he did not express his sanc- ton thereto.
 From observation 1t appears that the merchants are greatly interested and the financial burdens in making the fight are being borne readily. There are some concerns in Birmingham who seem to be taxed heavily through the process in vogue in that city and the enactment of this ordinance in the Constitution appears to be the only method for their securing relief.

"WHAT WITCH7"
A Husbands Question.

When a man. from coffee drinking, gets to such a condition that he cannot eat breakfast without throwing it up, 1t seems time to quit, but there are thousands of brains enough to understand that when an article of food or drink produces such conditions as these 1t should be absO- lutelY left off
 A little woman in Butte, Montana, Mrs. Fitzmaurice, writes that she and her husband are a different kind of people. They knew enough to quit coffee when 1t had rapped them hard. She says, My husband was so badly affected that he ate no breakfast for three or four years. He would often try to drink a few sips of coffee and invariably threw 1t up. When Postum Food Coffee was brought to my faith in it. but when I found what a de- licious beverage it was when prepared ac- cordinR to directions, and from trying 1t on myself found there were no bad ef- without telling him it was the Food Golf fee. He objected at firsts saying that he would be sure to throw 1t up. but when insisted upon his trying it, 1t agreed with him.
 Morning after morning I gave him Postum without telling him that 1t was any different from ordinary coffee His stomach quickly recovered and he began to eat breakfast. He asked me one morn ing as he asked for a second cup of the Postum what witch had taught me to make such delicious conee, ana where I found some that would agree with himT'' Then l, told him for the first time that he had not been drinking coffee, but Postum, which had so strengthened his stomach that he could now eat as much breakfast as any one.
 My two sisters were badly troubled with stomach disorder but after leaving off coffee and taking Postum they both recovered their appetites and took on considerable flesh. I wish everyone could be induced to use the health-gtVtng, aro- matie Postums"

LASTLIEUT. GOVERNOR
Some History in Connection With oMce-Gov. Ligon Was
 Last One.

MT. Thompson of Bibb, in speaking to the proposition to establish the of- flee of Lieutenant Governor in the Constitutional Convention Wednesday. made the statement that Hon. l.. H. Moren. of Bibb. was the last Lieuten- ant Governor
 This is a mistake. The record shows that the office of Lieutenant Governor was created by the Convention of 1868. and A. J. Applegate was elected on the ticket with William H. Smith.
 In 1870 Dr. E. H. Moren of Bibb, was elected Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with Robert Burns Lindsay, and served two years. x
 In 1872 Hon. Alex McKinstry of Mo- bile. was the Lieutenant Governor, having been elected on the ticket with David P. Lewis.
 In 1874 Hon. Robert F. Ligon of Ma con County was elected on the ticket with Governor Houston. The Conven- tion of 1875 abolished the office and Governor Ligon was the last Lieuten- ant Governor, He was nominated for Congress and elected just as his term as Lieutenant Governor expired.

An Error Corrected.

Editor The Advertiser:
 In your issue of this morning you said in your editorial notice of the pro- ceedings, ot the Convention of the pre- viouS day:
 Governor Oates was opposed to the proposition to debar a Governor from being a candidate for the Senate and made an argument against 1t.
 That is just exactly what I did not say as the stenographic report, though it contains a few small errors, will show. I expressed myself in no uncer- tain terms against any Governors be- coming a candidate for United States Senator. Please correct the erroneous statement.
 wm. c. Oates.

provided for an increase of the Gov ernor's salary to five thousand dollars per year. A minority report was pre- sented by Mir. Vaughn of Dallas. which omitted the increase, leaving the mat ter of salary unsettled and open for legislative action.
 MT. O'Neal of Lauderdale made a strong logical argument for the in- crease of salary.
 MT. Long of Walker opposed 1t. He did not want to see any additional taxation. thought the matter should be left to the Assembly ,and that the peo- pie did not want 1t.
 Mr. Blackwell of Morgan fought the increase strenuously. He thought 1t ought to be made. but not by the 8on- vention. The Assembly should do 1t. The people had not authorized 1t, and 1t would be dangerous to put 1t in the Constitution.
 Ex-Gov. Jones answered the opposi- tion with an earnest appeal for the increase. He detailed his personal ex- perience in the office of Governor, and pointed out in pathetic tones the bur- dens put upon the Chief Executive in the very nature of the position. He described his own frequent humilia- tion and constant discomfort because of the meager salary. He appealed to the Convention to raise the office of Chief Executive above such worry, to make 1t possible for a poor man to aspire to it, to make 1t acceptable to any man in the State. His voice was impassioned. and at time thrilling. He held the Convention to the closest at- tention.
 Ex-Governor Oates followed Cover nor Jones on the same general lines, confirming, enforcing and amplifying the latters positions. He made wig orous argument and powerful appeal to the sense of pride and justice of the members. He was listened to with the utmost consideration.
 After some parliamentary by-play the matter came to an issue and a roll call was ordered. The vote was SS to Al in favor of the minority report.
 Shortly after this an adjournment was taken until this morning at 10 o'clock.
 A verbatim report of the proceedings will be found elsewhere in this issue.
