ENSHRODUED IN MYSTERY
Negro Hackman Tells a Tale About Woman Being Abducted
 by Two Men.

At Il o'clock last night a telephone message reached police headquarters which told of a sensational mystery A young mulatto woman was said to have and at the point of pistol carried of into the darkness by two men, whose iden- titv is unknown.
 The story is based on the statements of Will Sullin. a hackman for H. A. Love- less. SulIin telephoned for the police to go out on the extension of Goode Street and when they arrived there he told the following story:
 Shortly after 10 o'clock last night he received word to go out on the extension of Cleveland Avenue and set a negro woman and bring her to the city. He went out to the place, which is nearly a half mile beyond Jeff Davis Avenue. The The hackman started towards the city and turned east into the extension of Goode Street. He says that at that place two men suddenly sprang up from the side Of the road and threw pistols into his face, ordering him to stop. The men went through his pockets. but did not get anything. The men then gave their attention to the frightened negress. They took her forcibly from tn ehack and started away in the darkness with her The woman screamed as she was being taken away.
 As soon as the men had left. the negro says he hastily drove away and notified the police. Mounted Police Officers Jack son and Graham investigated the matter. They searched the surrounding premises and found traces of a struggle between several persons, and then lost the trail The policemen remained about the place for some time. but could learn nothing further concerning the whereabouts of the woman.

HARD TO BREAK.
But the Coffee Habit can be Put oh

q was a coffee user from early child hood. but 1t finally made me so nervous that I spent a great many sleepless nights, starting at every sound I heard and suffering with a continual dull head ache. My hands trembled and I was also troubled with shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart The whole sys- fem showed a poisoned condition and was told to leave off coffee. for that was inc cause of 1t. I was unable to break myself of the habit until some one in duced me to try Postum Food Coffee.
 The first trial. the Food Coffee was flat and tasteless and l thought 1t was horrid stuff but my friend urged me to try aga m and let 1t boil longer. This time l had a very delightful beverage and have been enjoying 1t ever since. and am now in very greatly improved condition of health.
 My brother Is also using Postum in- stead of coffee and a friend of ours. MT. W who was a great coffee user, found himself growing more and more nervous and was troubled at times with dizzy smells His wife suffered with nausea and indigestion. also from coffee.

PASSES ARE MERELY
 RETAINER'S FEES.

Ozark July 19.-(SpeciaI.)- )-The Dem- ocrats of this county unanimously en- dorse the position of The Advertiser on the official free pass evil.
 Last year In the County Democratic Convention Judge J. M. Carmichael introduced platform which declared it to be the sense of the Democrats of this county that officers should not use free passes. It was unanimously adopt cd and the campaign here was fought out on that platform
 It is well known here that neither the present Circuit Judge nor his predecessor has ever used free pass But while there are some officers who conscientiouslv refuse to accept this retainers' fee there are others who need to be restrained by the law.
 Your correspondent interviewed a number of ths leading citizens of Ozark on the action of the Convention yester- day.
 MT. S. J. Golf of the drug company of Golf & Co.,, said: ''I have been con- vinced for years of the evil of the free pass system. It simply amounts to a retainers' fee paid those officers who accept them. can hardly see how a Constitution can find favor with the people if 1t refuses to protect us from 
 Major J. E. Acker-I believe that a provision preventing the officers from accepting these passes would popular ize the Constitution with the people.
 J. R. Levy. Circuit Clerk-l think every public offico~ in Alabama should be prevented from riding on free pass. I do not endorse the Jones sub stitute, because it is not far-reachtne enough.
 J. 2 Solomon merchant-The voters generally throughout the State will thank The Advertiser for its active effort to abate this evil. S. J. Mcintyre. merchant--l heartily indorse the effort of The Advertiser tc have the Constitution protect the peo' ple from the official free pass evil.
 J. W. Corbett. register-1 hope the Convention will take some action or this matter which will bear upon al public officers alike. The Watts reso lution nearly meets my~ views
 There is a general demand for some action along this line. If the Conven tion adjourns without taking some av- ton in this matter and that. too. of z specific and definite nature. the people of this county will be very seriously dissatisfied. Some of the leading mer threaten to oppose the Convention's work If this injustice is not stopped.

Negro Stole Whfskey.

Charlie Curtis is a negro porter for Renish and Meyer. Last night he went down into the basement and came out with a t1g. When asked what the jug contained he said it was vinegar and was for a negro barkeeper named Alex Walker. The clerks in the store tried to get Charlie to put the tug down and go to the postoftice. but he claimed that his foot hurt him and he could not walk. They wanted to ex- anime the jug to see what 1t con- tained.
 Charlie was too smart to put the jug down. and when he started of with 1t he was grabbed by one of the clerks, San, Kalomanovitz. and a struggle for the possession of the jug followed. In the struggle the jug dropped to the sidewalk and it was found to contain whiskey.
 They do not know how long he has been stealing whiskey from them un-

FREE PASSES
 ARE A MENACE
(continued from Page one.)

Continued from Page one.) Where men in public office accept passes they must necessarily feel un- der obligations to favor the road as far as possible.
 MT. Tipton Mullins, lawver-I oppose the pass system: thipk 1t d growing evil and should be abolished. I espe- ciaIly regrst the members of the Con- vention riding out of Montgomery on a free pass to keep from voting on vital questions.
 MT. w. NJ. Adams. lawyer--I think it an evil that should be stopped. That a man should certainly not ride on a free pass and then collect mileage.
 MT. W. H. Sartor. merchant-The custom is too we'll established to cure by legislation. If these men did not get the pass direct they would soon find some safe method of lodging the law and so continue the evil
 MT. E. M. Pinckard. merchnt-I have not thought much about the matter. but believe it wrong for public officers to accept passes and then draw mite age.
 MT. Frank Crichton. editor of Ban ner-I have already expressed my views in The Banner. I am opposed to public officials accepting free passes and think the matter should be cor rected by this Convention.
 Mr. E. J. Parrish. farmer-It is wrong for any public official to place himself under obligations to any one by accepting free passes or in any other way likely to influence his &C., ton toward the public.
 John c. Dennis. lawver-I think the Convention should reconsider It's &C., tion and do away with the free pass system.
 Col. R. H. Knox-I have always op- posed free passes to officials and voted against 1t in the Constitutional Con vention of 1875. It is a growing evil and is corrupting. It should be abol- ished
 H3n. w. A. Coll:er-I have always op- posed free passes to officials. In the Legislature of 1SS0-1 introduced a bill to give effect to the provision of the present Constitution in regards thereto, but 1t failed to become a law, and 1t has been clearly shown that the evil cannot be reached if left to the I.egIs- lature. While do not think that cor porations use passes improperly. but on the contrary believe that railroad companies are burdened by the de- mands upon them by officials for free passes, would not insinuate that those receiving free passes are effected thereby. I do think and know there is a growing opinion among the people that free passes do influence officials, and especially Judges. and I anl- sat- isfied that the ground for such an opinion should be remedied.

 The negro was arrested and Is now in jail. Alex Walker, the negro bar keeper to whom he Is supposed to have sold the whiskey. has not shown up today, which points to the fact that he knew he was purchasing stolen wbiskey

Manager Lawrence's Statement Puts
Ii in Different Light.

Mr.. Lawrence, who is looking after the
interests of Oscar Gardner, returned from
Boston yesterday. and made statement
in the Register office concerning the de-
feat of the Omaha Kid by Tim Gala
han.
According to Lawrence there was ar
understanding that the men were to fight
at 122 pounds but they did not weigh in
and Callahan weighed 1873 pounds. or Il
pounds heavier than Gardner. Before
the fight Mike Sears, Of Boston, chal-
lenged the winner, and in the fifteenth
round, when Gardner was on the floor
Sears threw towel into the ring. The
referee thought the towel came from Os-
car Gardeners seconds, and regarded it
as an Acknowledgement of defeat, giving
Callahan the decision.
Lawrence claims that Gardner was not
out" Gardner did not stop at Wheel
ing, but proceeded to Memphis, where he
is to fight Tommy Hogan next Monday
and then proceed to Weir City, Kansas

JOHN MARSHALL DAY.
Circular Letter From Supt. TrOtter
Urging Its Observance.

Urging Its Observance.
Copies of the following circular let
ter have been sent to teachers
throughout the State:
The attention of County Superin-
tendents and public school teachers
throughout the State is called to the
ACCESSIBILITY of observing in a fitting
manner February 4th, the Centennial
Anniversary of the day on which John
Marshall took his seat as Chief JUS
tice of the supreme Court of the Unit
ea States. The observance of the day
will be general throughout the coun-
try.
There will be no official programme
for the schools of lie State, but | re-
commend that every school spend the
afternoon of this day in studying the
life and character of the great jurist.
John Marshall was brave soldier, an
honored citizen and a renowned law
yer; but above all he was a cheerful,
modest man, greater in wisdom than
in learning, a sincere Christian and a
true philanthropist;" "a patriot by in
stinct and a statesman by Divine right
of character and brains"
The opportunity of honoring the
memory of this illustrious man and of
pointing out to our boys and girls his
nobility of purpose, his strength of
character and his love for country,
should not be neglected.

State Supt. of Free Schools.

MOVEMENT ON FOOT
To Raise the Benwood Postonice
From Fourth to Third Class.

To Raise the BenwO0d Post0nice
From Fourth to Third Glass.
1t is understood that the citizens Of
Benwood are afforded an opportunity
to raise the postofice there to the
third class The rating at present is
fourth class, which pays no specified
salary, and the income of the postmas-
ter depends entirely upon the amount
of cancellation of stamps done at this
Office. The amount which the post
master is allowed, however, is limited
to $3.50 per quarter. out of which the
expenses of the Office must be paid.
1t is also explained that the rule of the
postoffice department is that the post
masters portion of the receipts must
amount to $3.50 per quarter for four
successive quarters before the office
can be raised to the third class. Dur.
ing three quarters beginning October
1, 1899 and ending June 81, 1900, the
Benwood Office receipts exceeded the
necessary amount for the third class
rating, each quarter, excepting the fol-
lowing quarter. This decrease in the
receipts occurred in the summer sea-
son lat time when all the mills were
off and business was consequently
slack. However, in spite of the cir
cumstances the receipts lacked only
$500 of the required amount. Those
interested announce that the postmas-
ter forwarded statement of the case
to the postoffice department, but re-
ply has not yet been received. Spe-
cial efforts should be made to raise
the receipts to the prize mark and the
movement will doubtless receive un-
limited encouragement.
