Tuscaloosa, March 6-(Special.) )-Dr. male College, is in receipt of the follow ing encouraging letter from Dr. Sanders, the State health officer who visited the patients at the college during his recent visit here. Dr. Sanders says:
 Tuscaloosa, Ala, March. 1902 President w. F. Melton. Tuscaloosa Fe- male College.
 Dear Sir: Having examined the situa- tion in your institution with reference to the recent out break of smallpox there in, am pleased to find that all needed measures for the control of the disease are being enforced. which I am satisfied will soon result in its complete extermi- nation.
 Indeed the force of the infection seems already expended, as shown by the fact that no new case of the disease has oc- cured for week.
 All of the cases have been mild in type and will leave no marks upon the victims. There Is no occasion for panic or stam- pede. neither need the exercises of the school be interrupt ed except to very linn tied degree,
 The municipal and medical authorities will. I am sure, render you all the aid they can towards exterminating the dis ease, which together with your intelli- gent and philosophical comprehension of the situation. will soon result in success.
 Very respectfully yours,
 W. H. SANDERS. M. D.,
 State Health Officer.

 HAVE GOOD HOME
Work Will be Started at Once
 at Mountain Creek
CAPT. FALKNER BEHIND 1T
Says He Has Received Several Letters From Lumber Dealers Offering to Help in the Movement.
 B. B. Smith, Architect.

Montgomery March 6. - (SpeeiaL)-A home for the old disabled Confederate veterans in Alabama is now assured. Work is to be started at once to build the home at Mountain creek
 This movement was inaugurated by the few weeks ago, and when the announce ment was made Captain Falkner gener- ously presented the camp with forty acres Of land at Mountain creek, which Is said to present an ideal site for the home. The camp at once accepted the gift, and 1t has been followed by a number of donations of building materials sufficient to warrant the camp in beginning work. The plans for the home were presented to the building committee today by Ar chitect B. B. Smith, who is donating his work. The plans call for one large or main building, number of cottages to consist of four rooms. with dining room. kitchen, etc. The committee believes that this plan will furnish more desirable homes for the veterans than to erect one large uilding fashioned on the order of a hotel.
 Lumber Offered Free.
 In discussing the matter this morning, Captain Falkner said that he had re- ceived letters from lumber men offering sufficient lumber to erect several cottages, and already several persons have asked the privilege of furnishing a room.

LUKE SANDERS IS
 HANGED AT MARION
Expected Mob of Negroes Did
 Not Appear
WHITE MEN DETERMINED
Their PreeautIon to Meet Any Finer gency, 1t Is Said, Kept the Ne groes From Marching On
 the Marion Jail.

Marion. March 6.-(Special )-Wnere there were good grounds to anticipate an effort would be made to liberate Luke Sanders last night, the alertness of the citizens soldiery in preparing for an emer- gency spread rapidly and as a result the city had more the appearance of Sunday today than hangsman day
 The authority that a negro mob was forming and thwarted by cooler heads was given today by one of the largest farmers in the county and who had Luke in his employ at one time. The prisoner slept well last night until just before day when he arose and began singing and praying. He was given a bountiful break fast but did not eat heartily. Early in the day he thanked Sheriff Whitman for his kindness and said he had no i'll feeling for any officer as he knew they were per forming their duty. Three negro preach CTS and Dr. Bomar. the Baptist minister. and Mir McCann, Methodist minister, vis- lied the prisoner early in the morning and prayed and sang with him. At 1O45 he talked with newspaper representatives making the following brief statement
 Makes Brief Statement.
 "The people know what 1 am here for. I will soon leave this world and will enter the great unknown Tell all the people l want to meet them in Heaven"
 The execution took place at Il :O5 in the corridor of the jail. When put upon the scaffold the prisoner showed not the slightest emotion. The moose was ad- justed by Deputy Sheriff wooley. When Sheriff Whitman asked If he desired to make a statement he spoke deliberately and without tremor as follows:
 T simply want to bid all farewell. Let everybody keep quiet one minute. I am preparing to leave this world and expect to make heaven my home. I wish all men to come to Jesus and be saved. I come here to die The ways of God are unknown. Today we live. tomorrow we die. I trust to meet some of you when troubles are no more. I will soon be done with the things of this world"
 He made no reference to his crime As the cap was pulled over his face he said to negro standing near by:
 Told Negro Goodbye.
 "Good-bye West" Then turning to Sheriff Whitman and ex-Sheriff Neems he bid them adieu. Just before the trap fell he exclaimed: Lord Jesus, catch me; save me, Jesus" Sheriff Whitman asked if he was ready and he cried in a loud tone: Come through" and the sheriff pulled the trigger. In fifteen min utes Drs. Shivers and Johnston pro- nounced life extinct.
 When the jail was cleared of white people, a large number of negroes were allowed to view the body as 1t hung Twenty-Five minutes after the fall the body was cut down and turned over to Undertaken Blackburn and carried to the burying grounds near where the crime was committed for which the prisoner was executed
 The father had made preparations for the burial, and large numbers of negroes attended the funeral.

CATCHING COLD.

The philosophy of cold is arrest oa the secretions of the skin and mucW fnembrances. The nervous respiratory explosion, called sneezing, denotes that the sensitive lining of the nasal cavitits Is irritated, and that the general func; tions have been interfered with.
 The causes that underlie a cold are decline of vital force and the impover ishment of the blood. The scientific medj cal world knows that when all the forces and functions of the body are at par. a cold, under ordinary circumstances is almost impossible.
 The remedy which will keep the vita, force at par, and thus enable the system to ward of colds, IG grippe, and other dis eases. is Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. Il replenishes the supply of Iron, which is the fighting element of the blood.

Many people with weak digestion, as well as some physicians, consider tne first step to take in attempting 10 cure indigestion is to restrict the diet, elther py selecting certain foods and reJectlhs others or to cut down the amount oL ioou eaten to barely enough to keep soul anu body together; in other words the star- walton plan Is by many supposed to oe the first essential.
 All this is radically wrong. It IS Iooilsh and unscientific to recommend dieting to man already suffering from starvation beceus. indigestion itself starves every orga nerve and fibre in the body
 War people with poor digestion most need Is abundant nutrition, plenty or good, wholesome, properly cooked food and something to assist the weak stomach to digest it.
 This is exactly the purpose for Wh1eh Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and the true reason why they cure the worst cases of stomach trouble.
 Eat sufficient amount of wholesome food and after each meal take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to prompt ly digest it.
 In this way the system Is nourished and the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not one grain Of the active digestive principle in Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets being sufficient to di- gest 5000 grains of meat, eggs or other albuminous food.
 Dr. Harlandson and Dr. Redwell recom- mend these tablets In all cases of defec- tive digestion because the pepsin and dastase in them are absolutely free from animal matter and other impurities and being pleasant to the taste are as safe and harmless for the child as for the adult.
 All drug stores sell this excellent prepa- ration. and the daily use of them after meals will be of great benefit, not only as an immediate relief but to permanently build up and invigorate the digestive or- Eans
