 The members of the Tuscaloosa Golf Club are very enthusiastic over the sport and will have a tournament Thursday afternoon at o'clock. The local club is developing some expert players and the tournament will be well attended.
 There is a possibility that Tuscaloosa will soon have a new opera house. The lack of such a playhouse has prevented the better class of shows from stopping here. The local lodge of Elks has had a proposition made to lend it $2O0O0 for the purpose of building the house, provided the lodge will raise $150O0 additional. A prominent Elk said to your correspondent that the idea is to build a three-story building, the first floor to be devoted to two stores in front, with foyer leading into the auditorium in the rear; the second story to offices and the third for a lodge room for the Elks. The need of @ good opera house is pressing one and the people of Tuscaloosa are quite anxious that 1t shall be built.

within the provisions of the laws of Ohio.
 A feature of the afternoon session was an argument between John NJ Warrington and Judge Moses Wilson on the compe- tency of the admission of the rules of the Marquis of Queensberry in evidence. War rington held that the annual of the Police Gazette which contained these rules, was recognized as good authority and should be admitted as evidence. The court over ruled the objection of Wilson, and the pamphlet of Richard K. Fox was admitted as evidence, subject to any changes that the defense might make from authentic sources. As the contracts that have been entered into provide for contests under these rules, the attorneys for the injunc- tion consider that they have made strong point in their efforts to show that the event here on February 15 Is to be prize fight for the championship rather than boxing contest The attorneys for the in- junction read these rules in open court with great effect, and commented on the brutality that was possible under them.
 They also read with dramatic effect artl- cles from the newspapers on the hghts that Jeffries and Ruhlin had participated in to show what might be expected of them when they meet for a championship con- test February 15.
 Finally counsel for the injunction of- fered in evidence copies of newspapers gv ing an account of contests in which Jeff fries and Ruhlin had participated and a test was made on the accounts of the con- tests In Philadelphia last December be- tween Ruhlin and Maher. Judge Peck, lead ing counsel for the promoters, objected. Judge Hollister, in overruling the objection, stated that these accounts would show the character of the contestants here February 15. Then Maxwell read an account of the fight between Ruhlin and Maher in Phila- delphia last December. He laid such stress m flaa dxxrhn PnIhI lin tad Mnh Maxwell would stop to comment on the proposed boxing exhibition in this city, and with elocutionary effect gesticulate as he read aout Coming up groggy," upper cuts" lon the ropes," "breaking away" "clinching," etc.
 All the evidence of the past two days has been offered by counsel for the injunction, and it Is believed that they will conclude before noon tomorrow. when the attorneys for the promoters will be heard.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has RevoIutonized
 the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.

The remedy is not heralded as a wonderful discovery nor yet a secret patent medicine, neither is 1t claimed to cure anything eX- cept dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach troubles, with which nine out of ten suffer
 The remedy is in the form of pleasant tasting tablets or lozenges, containing vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin Government test, golden seal and diastase. The tablets are sold by drug gists under the name of Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets. Many interesting experiments to test the digestive power of Stuarts Tab lets show that one grain of the active prin- ciple contained in them is sufficient to thor oughly digest 5000 grains of raw meat, eggs and other wholesome food
 Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the bowels like after dinner pills and cheap ca- thartios which simply irritate and infiame the intestines without having any effect whatever in digesting food or curing indi- gestion.
 If the stomach can be rested and assisted in the work of digestion it will very soon recover It's normal vigor, as no organ Is so much abused and overworked as the stomach.
 This is the secret, if there is any secret of the remarkable success of Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets, remedy practically un- known a few years ago, and now the most widely known of any treatment for stomach weakness.
 This success has been secured entirely upon it's merits a digestive pure and simple, because there can be no stomach trouble if the food Is promptly digested.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely on the food eaten, digesting it completely, so that it can be assimilated into blood, nerve and tissue. They cure dyspepsia, water brash sour stomach, gas and bloating af- ter meals, because they furnish the diges- tive power which weak stomachs lack, and unless that lack Is supplied it is useless to attempt to cure by the use of "tonics.' pills" and cathartics which have abso- lutely no digestive power.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found at all drug stores, and the regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit better than any other argument.

He was examined at length as an expert as to the difference be- tween a prize fight and a boxing exhbi- tion and he claimed that while the championship was determined in former years in what were known as prize fights,
 that in later years the championship was determined by points in what are known as scientific boxing contests. According to the evidence of Straus the meeting between Jeffries and Ruhlin was to be a boxing con- test and not prize fight, and he felt con- fifent that he was not selling tickets for an illegal performance, but one that came

Catarrh has become such a common aisease that person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. Itis customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat It is, in fact, complicated and very dangerous disease if not at first, it very soon becomes so.
 The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.
