MORE PROFITABLE PLAN OF TRADING POLITICAL IN

SUCCEEDED. If good citizens neglect their civic duties the poll

But in the cities Of the country there is spreading with gratifying
rapdity a better understanding of public questions. The great prin-
cple of public municipal ownership of franchises and control of pub
lie utilities has been firmly established in our system Of city govern
ment. We are not rushing bindly into rash experiments Of buying
and operating everything, from gas plants to automobiles, but the
growth OF intelligent citizenship has reached that stage where it will
not permit the great charter rights Of the people of American cities
to be sold for individual gain or bartered for political power.

CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause Generally
 Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom an indication Of deraneement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is difficult to locate because so many diseases have headache as a prominent symptom; de- rangement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble. kidney disease, lung trouble, eye strain or i'll fitting glasses all produce headaches and if we could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be a much simpler matter.
 However. for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forehead, the cause Is now known to be catarrh of the head, and throat; when the headache is located in back of head and neck it is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver.
 At any rate catarrh is the most common cause of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt disappear ance of the headaches.
 There is at present no treatment for ca tarrh so convenient and effective as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new internal remedy in tablet form, composed of anti septics like red gum blood root which act upon the blood and cause the elimination of the catarrhal poison from the system through the natural channels.
 MISS NOTd AlHSlSyt d SSHOOl teacher in one of our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She says: "l suffered daily from severe frontal head ache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily duties. I had suffered from catarrh. more or less for years, but never thought it was the cause of my head aches, but finally became convinced that such was the case because the headaches were always worse whenever I had a cold or frezS attack of catarrh.
 "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as a safe and pleas ant catarrh cure and after using few fifty cent boxes which procured from my druggists, I was surprised and delighted to find that both the catarrh and head aches had gone for good.
 Stuart's Catlrrh Taelets are sold by druggists at fifty cents per package, un- der the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine Hound in SO many catarrh cures) no opium (so common in cheap cough cures) nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary to de- stroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal diseases.

Jews and Christians in Uniol Ser
 vice.

To the Editor of The Register:
 I wish to correct statement. which appeared in the Associated Press dis patches of last week. The report was sent from Paterson, N. J., that, for the first time in the history of the country. union Thanksgiving service was held by Israelites and Christians of that city. AS matter of fact, such a non-denomina- tional service took place in Mobile dur ing the year 1897, at the Jackson Street Synagogue, where my lamented predeces- sor, Oscar J. Cohn, was the rabbi in charge. With the Jewish congregation worshipped the members of the St. Francis Street Methodist Church. then presided over by Rev. Sboaff. gentle man favorably known in our city. In jus tice to Mobile. I believe that the public should be correctly informed. If my mem ory does not play me false. I am sure that such union services have been frequently held in this country. Last Thursday all the churches of Pensacola and the sym agogue held joint services.

counsellor to the people of that city.
 Tn 1888 he resigned the care of the church in Montgomery and retired to his plantation in Shelby County. Alabama. He had become convince@-that there must bs reorganization of the industrial in- terests of the South before any great de- gree of prosperity could come to that impoverished section. A new civilization must be constructed, in which much larg- CT and more important place must be gtvsn to material interests. The wealth and population which are the great eie- ments of national power. he saw could come only through better development of the great natural resources of the South; and these. in his judgment. was the practical problem which should em- pioy the minds of the statesmen of the South. He devoted much study 10 this subject and became. perhaps. more thor oughly acquainted with the extent ana value of the material out of which the future greatness of his State could be constructed than any one of her citizens
 While thus employed, the death Of his wife broke up all his plans, and necessi- tated his return to the more active duties of the ministry. He received and accept ed a call of the First Baptist Church in Memphis, Tenn.

LAST OF THE CHOCTAWS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI GO TO
 THE WEST. A Wealthy Half-bred Leading His Simple KinsInen to Rich Farms Awaiting Them in Indian
 Territory.

New Orleans Picayune.
 The people who live in the quiet and healthfui town of Pearl River saw sight the other day which many of them will not soon forget. one back of which lies romance as broad as the country and as deep as the combined passions of na- tion of souls.
 To some the handful of ill-clad Indians who stood all day about the little sta tionhouse represented nothing beyond so many human bodies wrapped carelessly in clothes scarcely decent. The chatter of tongues in an unknown language pro- voked only senseless mrth. To these as to the man of whom Wordsworth sang: The primrose by the rivers brim
 A yellow primrose was to him,
 And nothing more.
 To others the sight was one of infinite pathos Forty-eight Choctaw Indians, gathered there for final departure from the home of their fathers, was some thing more than forty-eight persons about to board a passenger train for a trip of four and twenty hours. In their poor condition one recognized the poverty of the Choctaw nation, the decadence of one of the noblest tribes of the American aborigines. Shorn of their national gran Adeur, deprived by force of circumstance of the magnificent territory over which their ancestods ruled in triumph, sunk physically below the level of the white man, whose physical weakness they for meriy despised, but to whose mental and moral strength they had been compelled at last to yield, these few red men had gathered there, and, placing themselves under the protection of white stranger, were about to depart for the territory long since set apart for them by the na- tinal government. The sight was but another evidence of the operation of that memorable law of the survival of the ft- test a nation which had pitted itself against one more civilized was at last on the verge of extermination, yielding to it's conaueror. Pennyless. inspiring neither fear nor respect, awakening only pity in the breast of the sympathetic Anglo-Sax- on, finding scant comfort in the few as soclates of their misery, they passed be yond the hunting grounds, beyond the the hills and dales of their native home. away from the rippling water and the blue skies, exiled by fate from the land of their origin. their life and their trag- edy.
 The story of the dispersion of the Choc- taws dates back to 1S30 when the na- tional government, by treaty with the nation set apart certain lands for them in Indian Territory and provided farm for each and every family that should move there. Many forsook their homes and be- gan a new life in the West. Others refus- ed to go and sought the lands of Mis- sissippi, which the government allowed them. Such as remained soon lost what little property they had and were then
