ANOTHER COLD CHANGE.
robably a Freeze Here Tonight.
 Rivers Quite High.


 The temperature was not so low yester- day morning as on the day previous, by about ten degrees, but. owing to damp atmosphere. and a keen wind prevail ing, the cold was quite penetrating dur ing the early morning hours. The storm which played so much havoc in the North east has passed off the North Atlantic coast, though another disturbance over the upper Lake Region caused snow at scattered points In northern districts yes- terday.
 While it was then generally warmer in Gulf and South Atlantic States, another bank of dense cold air oyer the Great Plains was moving southeastward, causing sharp temperature falls in the middle west and southward to northern Texas. The weather reports indicate that light rains may occur in the south ern part of the State early this morn ing, but that generally fair weather will prevail in this region, with tempera- lures about freezing ,wRile, tonight, the temperature may go even lower, giving us a moderate freeze.
 The lower Coosa and Alabama Rivers continue to rise steadily. standing at 3s feet at Wetumpka yesterday morning when the Alabama had reached the 36.5 foot mark at Montgomery and 35 feet at Selma. Several days ago the Weather Bureau predicted it would go to 40 feet at Wetumpka. 37 at Montgomery. and 39 feet at Selma, and from present indi- cations, these forecasts will be verified almost to the inch, for the river Is already falling ct Gadsden and will probably rise slightly at Wetumpka and Montgomery today, and then begin to fall

OBSTACLE Is REMOVED
FIRST BArr1sf oHuRcH MAY
 NOW BUILD.
aindrat Heirs Give Quit Claim Deed to Property and splsndid New House of Worship
 will Bs Erected.

Ire recent fiiing If a quit claim deed to the property of the First Baptist Church of North Court Street by the Glndrat heirs has removed an embarrass- ment from the path of the Building Com mittee of that church. 1t will be re- called that the land upon which the First Baptist Church now stands was donated to the church by John : Gindrat, a wealthy and valuable citizen of Mont gomery in its early days. It has been asserted that the deed of gift to the church carried with 1t the provision that should the property cease to be used as a church that it would revert to his estate.
 If such was the case the obstacle to the sale of the church has been removed by the quit claim deeds given by the heirs of the Gindrat estate. These quit claim deeds were filed several days ago in the Probate office and the church trustees may now dispose of the property as they see fit. [
 The congregation has decided to secure subscriptions amounting to Ne.oo0 before beginning the large task of erecting its splendid new house of worship. At that time the property at present occupied by the church will be sold tp supplement the building fund subscriptions. In the meanwhile the subscription to the build ing fund is progressing most satsfac- torily The handsome lot which ths church has purchased on, South Perry Street has been graded and the church Is in possession of it.

BOY BUILDING.
That Is the Mission of Good Food.

There is an abundance of proof that food can be selected that will build up d brain as well as body.
 One case is that of a boy and the de- scription is given by his mother. She says. This particular son has always had a delicate stomach, and when he was an Infant had cholera infantum two or three seasons in succession; he was ex- ceedingly hard to raise, and was not well enough to go to school when he became old enough"
 The mother says. Finally we con- cluded to put him on Grape-Nuts exclII- sively and see what the food would do for him. We did, and to our great as- tonishment our boy improved daily. He is now hearty and getting along in school unusually we'll. He still depends upon Grape-Nuts for a goodly share of his diet.
 "Whenever children are hungry at bed time 1t is always safe to let them eat Grape-Nuts and let them go to bed. I came to know of tEe value of Grape Nuts by using 1t myself, and found that I was unusually we'll nourished and gained rapidly in strength.
 Please do not use my name. By the way, we abandoned coffee In our family several years ago and have always used Postum since. Would as soon have the flour barrel empty as be out of Postum. e Name can be given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

BOARD OF REGISTRARS
VOTERS oF.1roNToolrEnY CAN
 SOON QUALIFY.
Every Person Within Age Limit May Register, But Only 4Aoss Who Have Paid Poll Vote
 Can Vote

When the County Board of Registrars begins It's task of registering the voters of Montgomery County on the first of March 1t will have at least three months of work before 1t. The registrars will not be confined in registering to those only who have paid their poll tax. All voters who are able to fill all the require ments of the new constitution outside the poll tax provision and who apply to the board will be registered regardless of whether they have paid their poll tax. Those however, who have not paid their ppA tax cannot vote in the election this year although their names may appear on the registration list. The voter who has not paid poll tax this year can have his name placed upon the registration list. but he cannot vote this year nor can he vote until he has paid the arrearage of his poll tax.
 The men who are entitled to vote tn tho election of 1902 are those who have paid their poll tax and those who are ex- cmpt from the payment under the new constitution and are properly on the registration list.
 There has been considerable misunder- standing on this point The average man has thought that each voter must first have paid his poll tax before his name could be placed upon the registration list

SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
Miss Calhoun Will Arrive Today and
 Look Over Field.

The School Committee of the Commer- ctal and Industrial Association had a meeting yesterday morning at 10 o'clock to map out plans for work in connection Montgomery the Calhoun-Chamberlain School for Girls of Redbank, N. J.
 Miss Calhoun will arrive in the city this evening, and will remain here about ten days looking pver the field and in- vestigating the interest felt by Mont gomery in having such an institution here. The school is high class prepar- atory and finishing school for girls, and diplomas admit to both Vassar and Brown. The city of Redbank has but about five thousand inhabitants, and for that reason the local patronage is insuf- ficient for the continued growth of the school. In looking around for new To- cation, the attention of the proprietors was directed to Montgomery-and if suf- ficient interest Is shown in the move ment-it is more than likely that Mont gomery will have one more educational institution located here.
 The School Committee will meet with Miss Calhoun Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Young Mems Christian Association building on Perry Street at which time a full discussion of the mat ter will be had and detailed plans dis cussed.
 A subcommittee was appointed yester- day to saEd out a circular letter asking all interested to notify one of the com mitteemen or the Secretary of the asso- citation, so that a personal interview with Miss Calhoun may be arranged.
 A large amount of money goes out of the South annually for the education of girls sent to finishing and preparatory schools in the North. With such school in Montgomery, girls from other States may be sent here to obtain advantages which heretofore have been obtained in the East

REVIVES OLD RUMOR OFFICIALS GO TO JACKSONVILLE VIA PLANT SYSTEM.
  This Visit is Considered Significant by Railroad Men, Who Pre- dict That Big Deal
 is On.

When the Mobile and Ohio train No. 3. pulled into the train shed at 6:3O last night, swinging on the rear was pri- vate car. and to this caudle appendage Is suspended another tale which may or may not have grave import in connec- tion with the local railroad situation.
 In this car were C. If. Ackert Genetal Manager of the Mobile and Ohio. John M. Beall. Assistan. General Freight Agent and Haidon Mille-. Central Freight Agent. The car was attached to the Plant System train leaving a. 7:45 and the destination of the Mobile and Ohio officials was said to be Florida point, supposedly Jacksonville.
 As far as could he learned there Is no triffic meeting in Jacksonville, and even if there was the General Manager of the road would hardly atten1. especially as representatives of the freight and pas senger departments of his road were along The visits of the Mobile and Ohio party to the domain of the Plant System revived the story published by The Ad- vertiser some time ago to the effect that the Plant System was about to be ab- sorbed by the Southern. In view of the trend of recent events this view of the case is the most plausible that can be had. and 1t seems to be sure that there is something doing in railroad circles.

Tickets for the entertainment have been placed on sale in various places in the city. They can be had at any book store. The price has been placed at 2b cents and the committee hopes and feels assured that 1t will have several hundred people at the Theatre Tuesday night. The tickets will afford to those who do not care to make a large contribution to the fund an opportunity of helning the cause in a small way. The local members oi the Battleship Commission still lack several hundred dollars of the amount expected of Montgomery and the enter tainment it Is hoped will supply what Is lacking.

These remedies are combined in lozenge form, pleasant to take. and will preserve their good qualities indefinitely, whereas all liquid medicines fAptdly lose what over good qualities they may have had as soon as uncorked and exposed to the air.
 This preparation Is called Stuart's Dys-, pepsia Tablets and 1t Is claimed that one of these tablets or lOzengcs will digest from 300 to 5000 times its own weight of meat, eggs and other wholesome food. And this claim has been proven by actual experiments in the following manner: A hard boiled egg cut into small pieces was placed in a bottle containing warm water heated to nlnety-elght degrees tor blood heat, ore of these Tablets was then placed in the bottle and the proper tenn perature maintained for three hours and a half, at the end of which time the egg was as completely dlgested as it would have been in healthy stomach. This experiment was undertaken to demon strate that what it would do in the bottle 1t would also do in the stomach, hence its unquestionable value in the cure of dys- pepsia and weak digestion. Very few people are free from some form of indi- gestion but scarcely two will have the same symptoms. Some will suffer most from distress after eating, bloating from gas in the stomach and bowels. others have acid dyspepsia or heartburn, others palpitation or headaches. sleeplessness, pains in chest and under shoulder blades. extreme nervousness as in nervous dys- pepsia. but they all have same cause, failure to properly digest what is eaten. The stomach must have rest and assist ance and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give 1t both. by digesting the food for 1t and in a short time it is restored to its normal action and vigor At same time the Tab lets are SO harmless that a child can take them with beneflt, This new prepa- ration has already made many astonish- ing cures. as for instance the following:
 After using only one package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I have received such great and unexpected benefit that I wish to express my sincere gratitude. In fact 1t has been six months since I took the package and have not had one particle of distress or difficulty since And all this in the face of the fact that the best doctors 1 consulted told me my case was Chronic Dyspepsia and absolutely incur able as had suffered twenty-five years. distributed half a dozen packages among my friends here who are very anxious to try this remedy.
