Danger of Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn of a single
case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it is a
certain preventive of that dangerous
disease. 1t will cure a cold or an at
tack of the grip in less time than any
other treatment. 1t is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by P. c. Wilder

FLORODORA PLEASES
MUSICAL COMEDY HAS STAYING
 QUALITIES.
Large Audience Saw Isadore Rush, Grace Hazard, Corinne and
 James Kiernan in
 Tuneful Opera.

"F'lorodora" has lasting qualities. as was exemplified before a large audience at the Montgomery Theatre last night.
 It Is seldom that a musical comedy can fill houses two theatrical seasons In suc- cession, especially after the music and the comedy have become as familiar to the playgoers as is the case with "Floro- dora" But the big audience at the Thea tuneful music of Leslie Stuart, applauded the epigrams of Lady Holyrood, and guffav ed at the witticisms of Tweedle- punch.
 The standing room only sign was dis played early in the evening at the box of- flee, and one side of the upper gallery
 had to be given over to white play-goers. A clever lot of comedians. singers and dancers were the people in whose hands
 "Florodora" was last night, and the man. agement saw it to display six of these in capital letters on the program.
 Miss Isadore Rush as Lady Holyrood, Is decidedly the most vivacious and na- tural player to whom the famous part
 has been assigned before Montgomery audience. Miss Rush Is not as graceful dancer as some of her predecessors.
 She is a pretty woman, however, and her
 lines are well spoken. the words of her he, topical songs are heard, and, above all,
 Miss Rush can sing.
 Miss Grace Hazard, who was Angela Gilfain, is remembered in Montgomery as the soubrette with Jules Grau's re- pertolre opera organization that spent
 week in Montgomery last year. and a
 number of admirers in Montgomery were glad to see her star on the ascendency. Last night, she was entirely satisfactory In her part and her songs and dances were repeatedly encored.
 Corinne was a rather unsatisfactory Dolores. Time was when the name Co. rinne would have crowded the Montgom- | cry Theatre. but age does not help an ac- tress, and the Corinne of last night was | not the Corinne of other days. James Kiernan as Tweedlepunch, was great. The part is well known to every | theatre-goer, and suffice 1t to say that he did all mortal could do with the part. Charles Dox as Gilfain, and Charles l Bowers as Abercoed were effective. Last years scenery was used in the production.

 Quite by accident the case of Mir. New ton K. Young of Pennington, N. J., was selected. He had been completely cured of case of hemorrhoids or piles by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. The politician vas especially skeptcal regarding this case, as it was alleged that MT. Young was man over eighty years of age and had been cured of piles after fifty years Of awful suffering and when all other rem edies had failed. It was agreed that the politician should write to Mir Geo. w Scarborough, Ph. G., a prominent resi- oent Of Pennington and that the result of the controversy should rest upon his re- ply. The following was MT. Scarbor- ough's answer:

 Edward Byrne, Jr., fiagman on the Western Railway of Alabama, fell from the top of box ca- this morning near Benton. He sustained very painful in- juries and except for his presence of mind would probably have been killed.
 MT. Byrne's run Is between Selma and Montgomery At Benton this morning he was standing on top of a box car to as- sist in making a flying switch He was at the brake wheel of the forward car. When the switchman attempted to cut loose the cars intended to be switched the knuckle of the coupling failed to work and the resultant jerk threw Br. Byrne from the car, his back striking the draw head before he fell to the ground. Though suffering intense pain, MT. Byrne realized the dangerous position he was In and with admirable presence of mind fiattened himself upon the ground so that the cars passed over him without further hurt.
 He was brought to Selma in the bag gage car and taken to his home on Union Street where he was given medical att tention. His injuries are very painful and he will have to remain in bed for several days but 1t is hoped he is not se- riously hurt.
