CONVICTED OF FRAUD
JURY RETURNS THE VERDICT
 AGAINST NEGROES.
Judge Bruce Will Sentence Will Gray and J. c. speers, Charged with Selling "Green Goods"
 Thomas Guilty.

The sealed verdict returned by the jury in the case Of Will Gray and John c. Speer, negroes charged with using the mails for fraudulent purposes was opened yesterday morning in the United States Circuit Court and the jury was discharged. Both the. he.defendants were found guilty and were remanded to jail to await the sentence of the Court.
 This was an important case. The scheme to defraud extended throughout the Southern States and was aimed largely at negro school teachers. Hun drads of circulars were sent out through the mails to these teachers and the correspondence of these green goods' men was enormous. Hundreds of dollars were secured by them. They operated in Montgomery for about four months and up to their arrest were successful. The Postoffice Department and the Department of Justice exerted every effort to detect the guilty par ties and in the prosecution of the case an Inspector, two typewriting and one handwriting experts were employed.
 The Thomas Case.
 The case of the United States vs. r. l.. Thomas of Montgomery County who was charged with using the mails for a scheme to defraud under Sec tion 54S0 of the Revised Statutes, was tried yesterday. The jury was out about an hour when a verdict of guilty was returned.
 The defendant in this case had been convicted before in the United States Court here for a similar crime, but Judge Bruce suspended sentence of the man to a short term in Jail on account of his prstended physical in firmities. When brought in for trial at this term it was discovered he was feigning sickness as before. He was examined by pr. Bragg, who pro- nounced him all right. The indict- ment alleged that he had been order ing goods under assumed names and under the name of his 2months- old baby boy-he being unable to use the mails because a fraud order had issued prohibiting his use of the mails.
 Commitment for DeLemos.
 In the matter of the United States against Ben de Lemos, which was on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. the United States At torney requested the court to order the mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States denying the petition oi De Lemos for a writ of certiorari ol mandamus, to be spread upon the min utes of the Court. The order WAS made. whereupon a commitment foi De Lemos was issued by the Clerk and placed in the hands of the United States Marshal for execution.
 This winds up the criminal dockct of the United States Court. There | were seventy cases tried, out of which

"Dale County Court House Site"
 Newton. Ala.

In The Advertiser of May 24 there was a communication from Ozark headed in bold type "Quietus to Court House in Dale," etc. The "quietus' Was originated, I guess, by the County Board of Commissioners arbitrarily agreeing to build $25O00 court house at Ozark without leaving it to a vote ot the people. This was lone too after an argument before the last LegiNla ture that couit house questions should be left to tie people
 The tax payers ct Dale county do not iavor such measure without being consulted, and furthermore they are unwilling to be taxed to make Ozark one of the 'prettiest" towns in the State. A fair fight is all the people ask. w. IT. Acree

1AuNDERINa CUR
 TAINs AT HOME.

Thin curtains-madras, bobbinet, muslin. or Nottingham lace-should De- aavs an exchange, shaken free of dust, washed in warm suds, squeezing ana laying up and down in place of runDins' boiled. rinsed, blued or yellowed, ngnt- 1y starched while still wet, and dried ' as quickly and as straight as posslple. Instead of ironing haste broad hems at ion and bottom and run into each a stout. smooth curtain pole, as long as inc curtain is broad. Stretch the Cur tain upon the pole, at each end, then hang up, sprinkle well and let dry. The weight of the lower pole will straight an and smooth it. Repeat until alN the curtains are dry. then rip out the hems, and press lightly with a warm' not a hot, iron. If there are wrinkles or cat faces after hanging the cur tains. wet those spots and pull down hard on them. Usually they will dry out, as smooth as need be. Ruffled curtains can have the Fuffies fiuted out after coming off the poles. Take care that the poles are very smooth and stout enough not to spring.
 Rea, lace curtains after washing can be pinned upon a sheet spread upon the floor-tedious work, but worth while. Pin the corners first, drawing them very square, then stretch each sca:lor in the line with the corners and pin it fast. After all are pinned 20 over the whole curtain with a soft. damp cloth. batting 1t hard enough to remove the least trace of starch. This makes the curtains look quite new, and does not wear them in the least. But with several pairs 1t is apt to be mpractical-then the recourse is a frame drying. No sort of lace should ever be ironed.
 For the frames get clean. stout deals. one by two inch holes four inches apart for two feet from each end. Have also some half-inch wooden pegs long enough to go through two of the deals ias once. Let the curtains half dry up- on the line. hanging them as straight as possible. Take down pair, pin, scallop to scallop. fro mtop to bottom, sand hang the pinned part over one of the long deals. Now pin the low edges as accurately together, slip inside them another long deal, stretch the two the breadth of the curtain apart, lay on a shcrs end piece, hanging the holes in 1t ever the holes in the side pieces, and fasten with pegs. Likewise stretch the ether end, with a needle and coarse thread. fasten the ends of the curtain
