of catarrh, whether in the head, throat, bronchial tubes, or In stomach and liver. The remedy is in tablet form, pleasant and convenient to take and no special secrecy is maintained as to what it can tains, the tablet being a scientific com bination of Blood root, Red gum and sim liar valuable and harmless antiseptics. The safe and effective catarrh cure may be found at any drug store under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. Whether the catarrh is located in the nose, throat, bronchial tubes, or stomach -the tablets seem to act with equal suc- cess, removing the stuffy feeling in head and nose. clearing the mucous membrane of throat and trachea from catarrhal secretions, which cause the tickling, coughing, hawking and gagging so annoy ing to every catarrh sufferer.
 Nasal catarrh generally leads to ul- ceration, in some cases to such an ex- tent as to destroy the nose entirely and in many old cases of catarrh the bones of the head become diseased. Nasal catarrh gradually extends to the throat and bronchial tubes and very often to the stomach. causing that very obstinate trouble, catarrh of the stomach.
 Catarrh is a systemic poison inherent in the blood, and local washes. touches. salves. inhalers and sprays can have no effect on the real cause of the disease. An internal remedy which acts upon the blood Is the only rational treatment and Stuarts Catarfh Tablets is the safest of all internal remedies, as well as the most convenient and satisfactory from a med ical standpoint.
 Dr. Eaton recently stated that he had successfully used Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets in old chronic cases, even where ul- ceration had extended so far as to de- stroy the septum of the nose. He says, q am pleasantly surprised almost every day by the excellent results from Stu arts Catarrh Tablets. It is remarka- ble how effectuasiy they remove the ex- cessive secretion and bring about a healthy condition of the mucous mem- branes of the nose, throat and stomach"
 All druggists sell complete treatment of the Tablets at 50 cents and little book giving the symptoms and causes of the various forms of catarrh will be mailed free by addressing F. A Stuart Co.,. Marshall. Mich.

DECATUR TALKS OF
 RECOGNIZABLE CASE
PEOPLE LIVING IN JUDGE KYLE'S HOME CITY ARE DEEPLY lE PERSISTED IN THE FoRTHCoM. ING MILITARY TRIAL.

New Decatur January 1.-(Special)- The Kyle-Higdon courtmartiai, which meets in Montgomery tomorrow, is the subject of much interest and comment here on account of Colonel Kyle being a resident of this city and circuit judge of this judicial circuit
 It is learned that several officers of the Dick Adams Rifles, Alabama National Guards, of this city have been summoned as witnesses before the courtmartial.
 Some here think the trial will last fully thirty days and will be full of many sen- sational features.
 In some circles 1t is hinted that poli- tics of state wide interest played no small part in the calling of the court martial
 Colonel Kyle, when asked for an inter- view, said he had nothing to say for pub lication, as he did not regard this as matter for the newspapers.
 personal friend of Colonel Kyle, who served in the Spanish-American war with him, said that there would have doubt less been personal conflict between Col onel Kyle and Colonel Higdon at Miama, Fla, during the war if friends had not kept it down.

Joe Bernstein Awarded Decision After
 Fifteen. Rounds of Fighting.

St; Louis. January 1.-Joe Bernstein of New York was awarded the decision over Tommy White of Chicago by Referee Stewart today at the end of fifteen rounds of fighting before the West End Athletic Club.
 The decision, in the opinion of many at The ring side, was an injustice to the Chicago man. White landed repeatedly with left jabs throughout the fight. In the early rounds Bernstein attempted to rush, but left counters, beautifully timed, stopped him. In every round White land sd repeatedly with his left on Bernstein's lace. Bernstein would rally near the end of each round and for about thirty seconds would rush and rough matters, doing, however, little or no damage to White. The men fought at 12e pounds.

 $30,00o,000 of Stock Issued.
 Besides the $so,oOO0OO in gold certificates there was s3O, ,00O.OO0 of stock issued. It is admitted that very little of this was paid in, but provision had necessarily to be made for dividends. It was easy to compute the amount of the charges and dividends and the only feasible way for such enormous profits to be realized was for the trust to bleed the cities and charge enormous prices for it's asphalt, first chok- ing off competition. How it accomplished this in certain cites Is shown in the way the specifications for contracts were made up, as here in this city, for instance
 Asphalt Company of America's bonds were purchased by Philadelphia institu- tions about January, 1901. The price paid was about 96 These bonds were quoted on Saturday at a21a bid. 33 asked. The holders of these bonds do not see any way to get back their losses.
 Before the formation of the Asphalt Company of America the Barber Asphalt Company absorbed several smaller oon- cerns, among them the Columbia Con- struction Company The price paid for company Is said to have been $250 900 When the certificates of the Columbia Construction Company were turned over to the Asphalt Company of America the price paid for 1t was s2,00O,O00. Just how this enormous appreciation in value oc- cured was not explained.

Subject to colds as am from drafts and sudden changes of temperature, every new cold brought its own fresh attack of catarrh. At times my nose was stopped up, and there was a noise like the rumbling of thunder in my ears, and painful headache went with it.
 "A friend advised me to take Peruna as it had cured him; I bought five bottles of it and when these were finished my catarrh had disappeared.
 "I bought five more and have three of them yet, and whenever I get fresh cold take few doses of Peruna as a preventative from catarrh.

 Did it leave you with a cough or tick ling or soreness in your throat, or 8 slight discharge from the nose or ear or ringing in the headf
 If any of these things are true you are in the first stages of chronic catarrh. Peruna will cure you now in very short time.
 If you wait until the catarrh becomes chronic it will take much longer to get permanent cure. Besides, no one is safe moment while chronic catarrh is in the system.
 It is capable of producing multitude of diseases such as bronchitis, pneumo- mia, quinsy, dyspepsia, Bright's disease and many forms of female weakness. This fact should lead every one who has the slightest cold or cough to begin at once the proper treatment.
 Peruna is the remedy for all this class of diseases. It removes the disease by removing the cause, catarrhal infiamma- ton of the mucous membrane.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving 8 full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

ASPHALT TRUST
 IS PUNCTURED Men at the Head Threatened With Criminal Prosecution CHARGED WITH SWINDLlNG Long Litigation Expected to Follow Smash Between Factions of the
 Stockholders = Affairs Mis-
 managed, Funds Misused.
CHARGED WITH SWINDLlNG

New York, January 1.-(speciaD-Th arrest of men prominent in the affairs of the asphalt trust which has failed for s1,50O,000. is said to be imminent accord ing to a Philadelphia dispatch.
 There are persistent rumors there that dissatisfied stockholders in the asphalt trust will institute criminal proceedings and cause the arrest of these men,
 If arrests do take place. they will cause a sensation, as the men named are repre- sentative of some of the most powerful financial interests of Philadelphia and New York.
 Long litigation Is expected to follow the smash between the factions of bond holders.
 The collapse of the trust has called at- tention to many things in connection with it's organization and financing that have frequently puzzled Wall Street.
 For instance, 1t Is said that the fixed annual charges of the trust are about g, 5OO0 900. In order to meet this charge the trust would have to lay 2,5OO,o 900 yards or asphalt paving and net profit of $1 a yard. It is a question whether con tracts for such an amount of paving could be secured, and to figure out such profit there would have to be a virtual mon opoly, which, 1t turns out, never existed except on paper.
 How They Figured 1t Out.
 Another question that is asked is how the organizers of the trust, when the merger of the National Asphalt Company and the Asphalt Company of America was completed, figured out their ability to meet these fixed charges and also pay dividends on the stock? When the Asphalt Company of America was first formed in 1899, to absorb the various companies then in the field including the Barber Asphalt Company the Warren -Scharf Company, the California Alcatraz Com pany, the Trinidad Btouminous Asphalt Company. the New York and Bermudez company and their various subsidiary companies, the stock of all these com panies was bought up. For this purpose s3O,0 900 of gold certificates were issued and each stockholder of the subsidiary companies-and when the deal was com pleted the bulk of the stock was held by few-received $500 in bonds for each Sl0O of stock which he held In other words, the indebtedness of the holding company was increased threefold. and the new bonds passed into the hands of a few persons. If the subsidiary com panies which had been absorbed by the deal were able to pay per cent on their securities out of their profits prior to the merger they would of necessity be compelled to increase their profits more
