STEVENSON EXTENSION.
Rumored That 1t Will Be at Once
Constructed by the Southern.

Scottsboro. March Respectable is
again reported directly that the Southern
Railway Company will at once commence
work on what is known as the Stevenson
extension, or gap of about thirty-eght
miles between Stevenson, Ala. and Chat
tanoogo. Tenn.
Curry Kelly, who secured most of the
right-of-way between Chattanooga and
stevenson two years ago. was asked a
day or two ago to meet and consult with
some of the head officials and engineers.
Mr.. Kelly is to begin work on the right
of-way at once.
Another fact which gives rise to the re-
port is the law suit pending in the United
States Circuit Court in Cincinnati be-
tween the railroad officials and the minor
ity stockholders has been decided in IA
vor of the Southern. This fact will GER
tainly insure an immediate construction
as this is the third court through which
the Southern has succt ssfully fought the
suit, and the road would have been built
before had 1t not been for the opposition
of minority stockholders.
The trustees of the Bridgeport Training
School. in n recent meeting decided TO

Cotton Crop of 1890.

Washington. March 13-The extent of
the cotton crop of 1899 was A,175,092 acres,
producing 9,534,S76 commercial bales. This
cotton fibre had the value on the farms
of 1923. 75S, III. In addition there were A.,
566.O91 tons of seed worth $40 ,525 exclu-
sive of the seed sold by the farmers with
the fibre before ginning.
The quantity of cotton fibre grown in
1899 as reported by the Division Of Agri-
culture, Census Bureau. was $3.50 bales
OF 800 pounds in excess Of that reported
by the Division of Manufactures as hav-
ing been ginned in the same year. The
variation in the two reports is only 90
per cent. OF the variation between these
reports as given above, 1908 were found
in some fifteen counties in the MISSISSIPPI
pi-Y azoo delta and %, 667 In four counties
in Southwestern Tennessee, adjoining the
counties in Mississippi in which there was
an excess.
Outside of these nineteen counties the
two reports practically agreed, the varid-
ton being only 1859 or OBS per cent.

Betting in the American Derby winter
book was unusually brisk last week, ac-
cording TO Bookmaker James . Leary.
One thousand dollars was plunked down
in one bet on John A. brakes Runnels.
Inasmuch as Runnelss price is only 10 to
l, which most people just now would con-
slider none too liberal if the bet were
recorded on condition that Runnels went
to the post it is apparent somebody must
have a strong belief that the $4,000 beau
ty Is In grand fettle says Ihe Chlcaso
Tribune.
The main thing in Runnels's favor at
present is the high opinion Trainer Enoch
Wishard is said to have of him. He Ger
tainly did not beat class of horses last
wear that should make him an equal IA
yorite with Abe Frank and McChesney.
At that it must be admitted Runnels Is
likely to be judged here in Chicago by
what he showed at Washington Park-or,
rather. what he failed to show: and that
if McChesney were to be estimated by
the same standard he would be 200 TO
! shot instead Of IL to !. Nevertheless
il cannot be denied McChesney's improve
ment after the Washington Park meeting
had the appearance of being far more
marked than that of the son of Charade.
The winter book man would not say
who made the bet on Runnels The says a
majority of those who bet do not wish
their names TO appear but announced 1t
was a Chicago man The second biggest
Derby bet Of the week was on another 10

Chicagoan on Abe Frank. Two $500 Wag-
ers were recorded. One was on McChes-
new made by a Chicago man, and the
other was on Pentecost. one Of John e.
Madden's entries. The latter wager came
by mail and was made by Sam Harris,

THE CREW MUTlNiED.
Officers and Passengers Of Steamer
Dos Hermanos Have Marrow Escape.


New York. Oct. 13.-The little steam
er Dos HermanOs was sent out on a
cruise among some Of the southern is
lands by a trading firm a few days be-
fore the transport Sherman left Ma
Mia. says the Herald dispatch from
San Francisco. The steamer reached
Virac and anchored in the harbOr there.
Her captain and the few passengers on
board were at dinner in the cabin when
about 80 of the crew led by the boat
swain rushed down the gangway.
armed with knives, hatchets and clubs,
and demanded the money that was on
the vessel.
The two women passengers fed to their
rooms. The captain and the passen-
gers then gave battle.
The Dos HermanOs was anchored
close to the shore and not far away
from the constabulary barracks. The
noise of the fight was heard at the bar
racks and officers put out to the ves-
sci. They succeeded In boarding after
a desperate struggle with the mutt
neers. several of whom were shot and
killed. The others, numbering "a, were
arrested charged with mutiny and pi-
racy.
1t is supposed the plan of the mutt
neers was to kill all the officers, take
the $4,000 which was aboard and then
wreck the ship and declare all were lost
except themselves.

WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY
Or at Least Everyone Who Suffer,
From, Catarrh.

Catarrh in its various forms is-a ma.
tional disease. and the fact that nearly
everybody suffers from 1t more or less
leads many to neglect it's proper treat
ment.
Nasal catarrh fs a common cause Of
headaches. destroys sense OF smell and
" neglected reaches the throat, causing
Impairment and sometimes total loss of
voice. Bronchial catarrh leads easily
10 consumption. Catarrh of stomach
ard liver are very serious and obstinate
troubIes. while 1t is now generally adj
mitted that catarrh is the most com.
mon OF all causes of deafness.
All OF the more serious forms of ca
tarrh begin with nasal catarrh, the
local symptoms being q profuse dis
charge, stoppage of nostrils, irritation
and frequent clearing of the. throat,
sneezing. coughing and gagging.
Inc old style Of treatment with
douches inhalers. sprays, salves. etc.
simply give temporary relief and
everyone who has used any of them
knows how useless they are and tt3eIr
inconvenience Is such that very Paw
nave the time or patience to continue
their use.
A radical cure Of catarrh can only be
obtained from a treatment which re-
moves the catarrhal faint from the
blood because no one will now dispute
that catarrh Is a constitutional or
blood disease. and local applications
can nave no effect except to tenn
porarily relieve local symptoms.
A new remedy which has been re-
markably successful in curing catarrh
is a pleasant tasting tablet which ia
taken internally and acts upon. the
blood and mucous membranes.
1t Is composed Of antiseptic remedies
like Red Gum. Blood Root and similar
cleansing specincs which eliminate the
catarrhal poison from the system.
The tablets, being pleasant to the
taste are dissolved in the mouth and
thus reach the throat trachea and
finally the stomach and entire ELI
mentary canal. They are sold by
druggists everywhere under the name
OF Stuart's Catarrh Tabletkk
