that it will cure every disease under the sun. And they never think of leaving out dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They are sure to claim that their nos trum Is absolutely certain to cure every dyspeptic and he need look no further.
 In the face of these absurd claims 1t is refreshing to note that the proprietors of stuarts Dyspesia Tablets have care- fully refrained from making undue claims or false representations regarding the merits of this most excellent reme- dy for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They make but one claim for it. and that is, that for indigestion and various stomach troubles Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Is a radical cure They go no farther than this and any man or wom- an suffering from indigestion, chronic or nervous dyspepsia. who will give the remedy a trial will find that nothing Is claimed for it. that the facts will not fully sustain.
 It is a modern discovery, composed of harmless vegetable ingredients accepta- ble to the weakest or most delicate stomach. Its great success in curing stomach troubles is due to the fact that the medical properties are such that 1t will digest whatever wholesome food is taken into the stomach, no matter whether the stomach Is in good working order or not. It rests the overworked organs and replenishes the body. the blood, the nerves, creating a healthy ap- petite, gives refreshing sleep and the blessings which always accompany a good digestion and proper assimilation of food
 In using Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets no dieting is required. Simply eat plenty of wholesome food and take these Tab lets at each meal. .-lus assisting and resting the stomach which rapidly re- gains its proper digestive power, when the Tablets will be no longer required
 Nervous Dyspepsia is simply a condi- tion in which some portion or portions of the nervous system are not properly nourished. Good digestion invigorates the nervous system and every organ in the body.
 Any druggist will tell you Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets give universal satfs- faction.

THROWS NITRIC
 ACID ON OFFICER
PRISONER, A DRUGGIST, BEING
 PLACED UNDER ARREST, DASHES ACID IN POLICEMAN'S
 FAcE-IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Meridian, Miss, November 26.--(SpeciaD St. Ennis Thompson, a well-known drug gist of Meridian. was placed under arrest this evening at o'clock for non-payment of fine imposed in the Mayors Court this morning, and while being conveyed to jail threw a good portion of the con tents of a 12-ounce bottle of nitric acid in the face of Sergeant w. A. Lyons.
 Fortunately Lyons closed his eyes be- fore the fluid struck his face and thus saved his eyesight, but he was terribly burned and it Is feared that he is dis figured for lift.
 Thompson also threw a quantity of the acid at Policemen Body and Monette, who were nearby and who went to the assist ance of the sergeant when they realized the situation, but it did not reach the flesh of either.

Complaint of Subscribers About Not Getting Their Papers

MANY PAPERS MUTILATED
Some Taken for the Ccupon-Repeated Warning to Friends of Contest
 ants Without Avail-Last
 Vote "Wednesday 4 p. m.

The contest for the Age-Herald piano will close this afternoon. The last vote must be in by o'clock this after noon. Thursday morning the piano, which is on exhibition at the music store of E. E. Forbes & Co.,, in Second avenue, will be awarded to the contest ant in the lead when the votes are count ed tonight.
 The Age-Herald originally intended to the contest has grown so unsatisfactory in many ways that 1t is considered ad- visable to close it at once. In their eager ness to promote the interests of their favorites friends of the contestants have gone too far in securing votes. Votes have been purchased from carriers and newsboys, and to obtain these votes car riers have mutilated the papers which should have been delivered to the sub scribers.
 Many complaints of subscribers not get ting their papers have been ferreted out to find that the papers have been taken for the coupons. Other subscribers have complained about getting the paper with the coupon cut out. The Age-Herald has frequently warned the friends of the con- testants, but without avail and the only way to avoid further trouble is to close the contest.
 The standing of the contestants this yaornipp foIIous.

4 STRONG LETTER TO OR. BALL
steyenson., Ala, June 6. 19O

Stevenson, Ala June 6. 1901. Dear Sir: have been a great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations. I have also taken many different remedies; I taken Swamp Root three years. Warmers Sale cure two years. and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- pairing for the third I saw your Texas Wonder advertised and purchased a bot tie. And I got almost immediate relief. and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places. and was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And I call it Worlds Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial.
 Wishing you success, I am.

Rivals KIOndike.

ATLANTA. July 27.-There are ma.
terial indications in existence that
mining company, composed in the ma
jority Of Atlanta men, has struck
vein Of gold-bearing soil, rivaling in
richness aud purity the best that
California showed in the days Of 40
or the Klondike revealed in later days.
This modern Ell Dorado is located in
the State Of Georgia, in Wilkes Coun-
ty, and the Atlanta owners of the
property are I. Fl. Oppenheim, Mon
roe Biokhar. and a. Bluthenthal.
These gentlemen, with William D.
Storey, mine prospeotor aud w. H.
! Flukor, Of McDufie County, consti-
tute what is termed the Columbia
Mining Company, by which is owned
the land upon which the lead Of gold
is discovered.
From single ton of earth taken
from this newly discovered mine,
which is known as the Latimer mine,
gold to the amount of sl2,6 was re-
Gently gotten. This, it is claimed by
owners Of the mine, is the richest yield
ever known to be taken from single
, ton of earth, the nearest approach to
it being the celebrated Comstock mine
OF Colorado, which assayed $4,000 to
q ton Of the gold-bearing soil. The
correctness Of these figures is attested
by the afidavits of those by whom the
figures were obtained.
There are in sight 80 far in the
vein just unearthed, which can be
panned out into pure gold for mere
nominal cost, about IL tons of earth.
When the gold 10 token from the ore
it will approximate very close to $780,
600 in value. This is but the first
step in the work Of unearthiug the
full deposit. The miners wealth, Of
course, is but conjecture, but from
early evidsnoes it is not improbable
that il may be the beginning Of q
food of treasure from the boson OF
Georgia, rivaling in extent and quality
some Of tho gifts the west he's made &C
the enrichment of the world treasury
