EIGHT PRISONERS
ESCAPE AT SELMA
PRISONERS CROWDED THROUGH
APERTURE THAT SEEMED AL
MOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ALLOW
PASSAGE OF HUMAN BODY.

Selma December 1s.-fspecial)-Tha
an extremely small space was demon
strated last night when eight prisoners
escaped from the city lookup through an
aperture only seven inches wide. When
the prisoners were turned out of the
cells into the bull ring some time
last night eight of the most desperate,
headed by Wilson Ross. priced off a
plank which blocked a pair of old stairs
that passes partly through the Jail and
pulling themselves up by one of the cell
doors, found only a wooden door between
them and liberty. The bottom panel of
this door is seven inches wide by elgh-
teen inches long. A few blows from
a short handled Ratchet that had been
smuggled in to them soon removed this
panel and all eight of the big bodied ne
groes squeezed themselves through the
narrow hole and succeeded in gaining
their liberty.
Wilson Ross, the ring leader, was con-
victed of forgery a few weeks ago. He
told negro prisoner in the lookup that
If he would give him two dollars he
would get him out. The two dollars was
paid and Ross took a blank bond and
signed the names of Andrew Gil and
Jesse Reid to 1t. He wrote the names
himself. but it was not known until some
time after the negro had been given his
liberty and was as much a surprise to the
prisoner as to the authorities. Wilson
was given ninety days on the street and
bound over to await the action of the
grand jury He attempted to break jail
about two weeks ago and sentence of
sixty additional days was added None of
the escapes have been apprehended.

WHAT 1T MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance of
Good Digestion Until 1t Is Lost.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia and
do not know 1t. They feel mean, out Of
sorts, peevish, do not sleep well, do not
have q good, keen appetite do not have
the inclination and energy for physical
or mental work they once had, but at the
same time do not feel any particular pain
or distress in the stomach. Yet all this is
the result Of poor digestion, an insidious
form of Dyspepsia which can only be
cured by remedy specially intended to
cure 1t and make the digestive organs act
naturally and properly digest the food
eaten. Bitters, after dinner pills and
nerve tonics will never help the troubles
they don't reach 1t. The new medical dis
covery does 1t Is called Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets and is a specific for dys-
pepsia and indigestion. 1t cures because
it thoroughly digests all wholesome food
taken into the stomach, whether the
stomach is in good working order or not.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets by digest
ing the food, instead of making the worn
out stomach do all the work, gives 1t a.
much needed rest and cure of dyspepsia
Is the natural result.
When you are nervous, run down and
sleepless, don't make the common ms
take OF supposing your nervous system
needs treatment and fill your stomach
with powerful nerve tonics which make

day food and plenty of It, well digested.
and you can laugh at nerve tones and
medicine.
But the nerves will not be nourished
from a weak, abused stomach but when
the digestion has been made perfect bv
the use of this remedy all nervous symp-
toms disappear.
Who ever heard Of a man or woman
blessed with a vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troubled with their
nerves?
Good digestion means a strong nervous
system, abundance Of energy and capacity
to enjoy the good things of life.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will GER
tainly set your stomach and digestive or
gans right; they can't help but do it be-
cause they nourish the body by digestine
the food eaten. and rest the stomach.
You get nourishment and rest at one
