FINDING SILVER AT RUSSELLVILLE
FURTHER DETAILS OF THE DlS- COMPENSATORY OF A GUM MAKER HAVING LOCATED MINE BEFORE THE WAR.

Sheffield, December 12-(special.)-Th reported finding of silver in the locality of Russellville. mention of which was made in The Age-Herald of yesterday, is arousing much interest. The facts of the discovery are as follows:
 man brought to jeweler in Russell vile a piece of metal which the latter thought was a silver dollar beaten out ir the form he found it, but the man in- sisted that he had melted it out of ore obtained by him near Ligon Springs well-known mineral watering place about twelve miles south of Sheffield The find is reported to be on the lands of Wilson Bros of Russellvile.
 Credence Is given this report by the older residents of this section, as they gay 1t recalls a well-authenticated fact that gunmaker of Tuscumbia in the sos ornamented his gun stocks with native silver obtained somewhere in the locality whence this find is reported. There is also a story to the effect that a man, directly after the war. claimed to have been car ried to the locality by the wife of this gunmaker, who had once visited the place with her husband. 50 impressed was this man with the belief that silver was there that he spent eighteen months prospecting for it and at one place blast ed away almost the entire side of a mount ain. His efforts were not success ful and he finally abandoned them, but many of the older citizens here firmly be- lieve that there is a vein of silver in the locality given.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUa
Prevents Many People From Trying a
 Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi- gestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being hum- bugged, especially in medicines.
 The fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of a prepartion so reliable and universally used as Stuarts Dyspep- sia Tablets.
 Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re- spect from ordinary proprietary medi- cines for the reason that they are not secret patent medicine no secret is made of their ingredients, although they are sold by all druggists under protection Of trademark, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin. the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydiastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully pn any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten thor oughly before it has time to ferment. sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach trou- bles because they act entirely on the bowels. whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food That is all there is to it. Food not digested or half diges- ted Is poison, as 1t creates gas. acidity. headaches palpitation of the heart. loss of flesh and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.

INTENDED TO TAR
 AND FEATHER MARX
POT OF TAR, SUPPLY OF kERO- SEINE, TWENTY FEET OF ROPE AND A WHIP WERE FOUND IN CARRIAGE.

New York, December 12.-The Times says: After reading the narrative in which MT. Herbert E.. Marx tells how and why he came to shoot several of his Vir- ginian neighbors, the impression given by the first but brief, dispatches that his vigorous policy of self-defense was entirely justifiable is so strengthened as to be little less than a certainty.
 At first thought it seems to be some thing strange that his assailants, being arm ed men of hasty temper, should have allowed their selected victim to do all the shooting, especially as they had him at great disadvantage when they looked from the outside darkness into the light ed room in which he was quietly seated, unconscious of danger. This probably proves that they did not intend to kill he resorted to measures unnecessarily desperate in foiling their designs.
 The men apparently did not intend out right murder, for if they had they could and would have committed it, but it was no innocent joke that they had in con temptation. for in the carriages in which they drove to the Marx plantation were found, after the excitement was over a a pot of tar, supply of kerosene. twen- ty feet of stout hemp rope and black snake whip. The jests to be played with such utensils those are not without a sort of grim humor sometimes but this was not one of the exceptional oc- casions, and the object of such attentions is never under the slightest obligation to see and appreciate the incidental fun Men who approach a lonely country house at midnight, wearing masks and carrying guns and refusing to explain their business when questioned by the owner of the premises, thoroughly justi- fy any suspicious he may conceive in regard to them, and if they lose their lives as a result of his subsequent pro- ceedings they have only themselves to thank. This seems to have been the opinion reached by the coroners jury which investigated the episode and one of the jurors was a brother of one of the men shot. it must be that the evil dence supporting that opinion was very strong.

WILL MAINTAIN
 PRICE OF IRON ORE
A DECISION REACHED BY THE
 UNITED STATES STEEL CON- PANY AS TO LAKE PRODUCTS. STOCKS DECLINED LAST MONTH

New York December 12.-The Iron Age says:
 "A decision of far-reaching importance has been arrived at by the managers of the United States Steel Corporation. Al ter considerable discussion and number of conferences 1t has been determined to fix the price of lake iron ore for the com ing season the same as it was during the current season viz, $.25, as the basis price for old range ores at lower lake ports Some of the outside ore interests showed strong disposition to favor an advance, while in isolated cases a mod crate lower rate was advised. It is prac tically settled that the present ore prices will prevail for another season.
 ''The same tendency Is displayed in certain finished lines The beam and plate associations have held their meetings during the past week, and after continu- ing the life of these organizations an- other year have left the bases to remain as they were. Our monthly blast fur mace statistics furnish further proof of the tremendous consumption which is now going on. On December there were coke ana anthracite StdckS III opefdtion with capacity of 317,35S gross tons, an increase of 35SS tons as compared with November 1.
 Tn the past month stocks have de- clined 42OO0 tons. Counting in the char coal furnaces, we are now producing at the rate of 16.S50,00O tons per annum, as against the maximum record of 13, 7s9, 900 tions in 1900, and yet we are constantly drawing on what little stock the country is carrying.
 .',The difficulties in securing supply or coke made the production of November fall below the quantity of the blast fur- mace returns for the beginning.
 This caused a deficiency of product close to 100000 tons. On the other hand. some furnaces had to pile iron because they could not get cars to send it to cus- toners eager to secure the raw material.
 Quite number of Independent fur mace men have contracted for their next years supply of coke at S216 to 2.26 at the ovens. an advance over last year.
 "A number of malleable iron foundries in the Chicago district have been unable to secure prompt delivery of coke pig iron Some good sales have been made and others are pending.
 Some large tonnage has been placed in plates. both In the Philadelphia and in the Chicago districts
