SEVERE WIND STORM
IT ATTAINED A VELOCITY OF 46
 MILES AN HOUR
Little Damage is Reported in This

 sf Weather is Forecasted For Today.

fhe wind was so high here for time airing the early hours of yesterday morn ik that some of the timid ones began
 u fear that our staid old city was going
 break its record and score its first
 tally destrutive wind storm.
 These fears were soon allayed, however
 5 the wind soon moderated without doing my serious damage.
 During the height of the storm the barometer at the local onice Of the Weather Bureau huctuated very rapidly, and some of the wind-gusts were of great tiofence. The highest hourly velocity was hbout 2 a. m.. when. for about ten minutes the maximum velocity was forty six frniles per hour from the east. while thet extreme velocity for one minute was at rate of fifty miles per hour: for nearly an hour the velocity was at rate of forty four miles per hour.
 While the damage here was of minor nature, such as penetrating some fences' damaging shade trees. and rolling up the tin roofing on one or two houses, 1t IS thought later reports will possibly show more serious damage at some other points in adjoining counties.
 .,rhis rapid air movement was due to the
 hction towards an advancing storm

able to continue at my work My condi- ton gradually became worse. though I gave every care and attention to my health. Finally during the summer of 1899 the trouble developed into gravel, which increased my suffering and anx- fety many fold. I tried numerous kidney remedies without relief, and also went to a well-known health resort noted for the great curative properties of its waters I remained there for some time. but ob- tained no benefit. Physicians were un- able to give me any relief.
 T returned to Montgomery and during the latter part of the summer I com menced taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. l took three small bottles which relieved me entirely of my trouble. I must say this result was great surprise to me. as l had lost faith in all medicines and had about concluded that was doomed to be chronic sufferer
 There is now no question fin my mind Of the good effect of Swamp Root for all kidney troubles, and that 1t is far supe rior to all other remedies at least to the numerous ones I have fully tested. pr. kilmer has certainly discovered a great cure for kidney complications and kin dred complaints, and unqualifiedly rec ommend it to my friends and the public

ONLY SURE REMEDY
Mr. W. A. Scot Circulation Manager The Advertiser, IT. Entertainingly Regarding That Great Rem .
 edy. Swamp-Root sas

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is no better known or more popular newspaper man in the Southern States than Mir. W. A. Scott, formerly Assistant Circulation Manager of The St. Louis Post Dispatch, and for the past year Circulation Manager of The Mont- gomery Advertiser.
 For q number of years MT. Scott was afflicted with serious complications of the kidneys and bladder. He consulted sev- eral prominent physicians in St. Louis. Chicago and Kansas City. who all treated him without the slightest success In many of the town and cities visited. while looking after his business, he re- ceived all kinds of advice and had count less remedies recommended. Most of these he tried with no material or per- manent beneft. His friends and employ CTS became seriously concerned over his condition. and It was feared that he would have to permanently retire from business, if nothing more serious result ed. Being a close and constant newspa- per reader. MT. Scott had frequently seen advertisements telling of the wonderful results accomplished by Swamp-Root in conditions similar to his, and he began taking this great remedy.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-02-21

On November 11th, of this year. MT. Scott made the following statement to the editor of The Advertiser:
 You may say for me that think Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the greatest and only sure remedy in the world for troubles of the kidneys and bladder. This statement may seem extravagant. but ] make 1t after I had been seriously af- 1fcted for a number of years. and after exhausting every reputable remedy on the market in the effort to obtain relief.
 When a man tries every means at his command, to get rid of disease and fails. he gradually becomes discouraged and gives up. I did almost, but not quite, and to the fact that tried ono more time undoubtedly owe my recov- cry.
 "I feel 1t my obligation to my fellow men to overlook no opportunity to rec ommend 1t to sufferers. no matter wheth- CT I am personally interested in them or not I have been the means of placing Swamp-Root in the hands of many af- hicted people, and have never yet heard of its failure to give relief.
 'I wish I could make stronger this in- dorsement of the great virtues of Swamp Root for 1t deserves the best that can be said of it. W. A. Scott.

SUFFERED NINE YEARS
Mr. Bernard Berger Prosperous Montgomery Merchant En
 trey Cured by Swamp-Root

Mir Bernard Berger. well-to-do mer- chant of corner High and Hall Streets, Highland Park, was for several years an intense sufferer from rheumatism. Doc tors were consulted, but were unable to relieve him. As a last resort, he was persuaded, through an advertisement in The Advertiser, to try Dr. Kilmer's fa- nous Swamp-Root. The result of his trial of this great remedy is what he said to a reporter of The Advertiser on Dec. 18th, 1901:
 Two years ago I had severe attack of rheumatism Was confined to my bed for two months and suffered intense pain.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-02-21

Tn a recent interview with reporter of The Advertiser, MT. Gammell said:
 My endorsement of Swamp-Root can not be written strong enough, and hard ly know how to express my heartfelt ap- preciation for the wonderful good Swamp Root has done for me.
 For years had been greatly troubled with my kidneys and with severe pains in my back; also with what several doc- tors termed inflammation of the neck of the bladder. Sometimes my back would get in such shape that was almost help less. I had tried several good doctors and two or three highly recommended liver and kidney medicines, but could get TO relief.

idea that tubercular germs in a cow could
affect a person, that by order of the gov
eminent, thousands of heads of cattle
thus affected have from time to time
been killed, in order that the disease
might not be transmitted to persons
drinking their milk. According to Koch
theories, these precautions were unnec-
essary and waste of really valuable
cow flesh.
Among those who doubted the truth of
the German scientists assertion was
Dr. George d. Barney of Brooklyn. lie
set out to demonstrate its accuracy or
falsity, as the case might prove to be.
Purchasing healthy cow, he injected
a broth containing tuberclc from hui

now in the advanced stages of the dis
ease. Having proved DR.. Koch S theory
would not work backward, his next
thought was to demonstrate that 1t was
not tenablesas originally stated. At this
time he was treating Miss King for ton
silitis and, on one occasion, mentioned
the fact that he was looking for subJett
upon whom to make the experiment. Miss
King was much interested and when as
sured by the doctor that there was really
no danger attached to the experiment Sh..
offered herself for the test. For the lii
lection DR.. Barney used the germs taken
from a mammary gland of the infected
COW. which he prepared in Il solution.
Before the operation DR.. Barney request
ed Miss King TO make a formal decIara-
ton of her entire acQuiescence, and the
young woman did so. and insisted upon
adding a clause exonerating the physl-
clan in the event of an unexpected de-
velopment.
Miss King said: Il have contracted

BIG YEAR FOR TRACKAGE.
Roads Lay More than Five Thousand
Miles of Steel Rails.

Railroad building in the United States
during 1901 was greater than it has been
for eleven years previous, the total APP
proXimating 5,037 miles Of line. In 1880
the total was 5.670, and in 1900 4,437
miles. The construction for the year,
added to the total mileage reported pre-
yiOus to that, brings the total mileage
of the country to approximately 1890
miles. These are the figures prepared
by the Railway Age after a painstal1ing
compilation extending over a period OF
several months, and may therefore be
taken to be as nearly correct as is posi-
bic in such matters. In view of the fact
that the country is supposed to be pref
ty we'll provided with railway facilities
and that the community of interests is
supposed to have placed damper on
new construction, the years total de-
mands more than passing attention.
1t is noted that the Southwest takes
the palm for the year, that Texas leads,
with 5S3 miles Of new line distributed
among twentythree roads, and that the
Rock Island leads all others with the
longest single line of 265 miles, to which
might well be added 12S miles of the El
paso and Northeastern from Santa Rosa
to CarrizozO, n. NJ, which will soon be
completed. The Rock Island extension
proper extends from Liberal Kan, to
Santa Rosa, n. NJ. Had it been posi-
bic to obtain rails on all orders in shops
the construction would have largely ex-
ceeded the figure
In order that the new mileage of 1901
may be compared with the construction
of previous years the following table
showing the new work by years since
1887 is given:

SAY JESSE JAMES IS ALIVE.
Colorado Men Think Their Prisoner is
Notorious Missouri Bandit.


Intimate associates of George w.
Thompson, who is under charges of horse
stealing in Denver, declare the prisoner
is Jesse James, once a notorious bandit
in Missouri. An old Colorado business
man who knew Thompson twenty years
ago as Jack Howard said of him: Il first
heard the story that he was Jesse James
from Oscar Roop, who was with me in
Del Norte and came to Denver to man
age the city stock yards. Roop is dead
now, but in the early days he had pecu-
liar reasons for knowing Howard's his
tory. |, of course, had heard the stores
that the man Bob Ford shot was not
Jesse James, but was a cousin who look
ed so much like the bandit that no ole
could tell them apart. talked with
Thompson about James and one day he
looked at me keenly and said: Bob Ford
did not kill Jesse James On the night
he was supposed to have killed hin Jesse

San Luis valley How did you know
Jesse" l asked. The old man hesitated
a moment, then he said: 1 ought to know
him; | served a term in the penitentiary
with him But the thing that finally led
me to believe that Thompson might real
ly be James was the testimony at the
trial of young James in Kansas City
about a year ago for train robbery and Il
peculiar circumstance that happened at
that time. Mrs. Jesse James, the mother
of young James, on the witness stand
swore that nineteen years ago she and
Jesse lived in southern Colorado with
their son and daughter under the name
of Howard. These two children that
knew in Del NOrte are of the ages that
the son and daughter now living in Kan
sas City would have been at that time,

The sensational robbery of the Higgln-

when one of the pursuing officers was
captured by trio of outlaws. Joe Cam

of Sheriff Moore, went into the bottom
woods near Higginson to search for the
bandits and met three men, one of them
a negro. He covered them with his re-
volyers and compelled them to turn eyer
all their valuables, including their weap-
ons. AS he mounted his horse, intending
to drive the men to Searcy, the county
seat, the negro leaped upon him. pinion-
ing his arms. The white men soon recov-
cred the property taken from them and
took all of Canada's belongings. Then
they made good their escape.

BULLETS FLY IN CHURCH FIGHT.
Six Fatally Hurt in Shooting ARRAY,
the Result of Feud.

Six men were fatally wounded in
general fight at a small country church
at Pike postottice, Ohio, and a panic took
place among the worshipers. A series Of
religious meetings was in progress at the
church, and the building was filled, when
Charles and Orrin Day appeared, slightly
intoxicated, and said that they had come
to clean out the Leggs," family with
which the Days had had frequent quar-
rels. A general fight resulted in the
church and around it. Women and chill
dren shrieked and sought safety from
revolvers and knives by jumping out of
the windows. Only the minister, Mr..
Rowe, remained. At the close six men
lay fatally hurt. Many others were
slightly injured,
