Hard Work C aus c d Ner. vous PrOstration, Heart Trouble and Great Suffering. Dr. Mile s'HeArt Cure and
Dr. Mile s'Heart Cure and
 Nervine Cured Me.

Where the symptoms of heart disease and weakness are present together with those of nervous trouble, much benefit may be de- rived from the use of both Nervine and Heart Cure. The Nervine quiets the weary brain and brings sweet sleep, it brings the needed nourlshment 10 the nervous system, restores nerve-force, vitality and energy. The action ot the Heart Cure is equally beneficial. IL aids the good work of Nervine by enrichinp the blood, improving the circulation and by its tonlc action steadying and restoring the heart beats or pulse to their normal activity.
 Some years ago while I was connected with the Western Nebraska Conference as Presiding Elder, l was so overworked that became greatly run down in health and suf- tered for two years with serious nervous pros tratlon and heart trouble. At first 1 had spells ot heart palpitation and smothering, and later there was a great deal of pain in the region of the heart and feeling of oppression in the chest. During all this time was very nervous, irritable and unable to sleep. Being advised to try Dr. Miles Ner- vine and Heart Cure and Pain Pills. they proved exceeding beneficial to me, affordinT complete and permanent cure. Since then your remedies have frequently been used by myself and family and always with the best results, ,"-REv. (. H. PoLHEMUs, U, B. Church, Washington, D. C.

rT Ts wELL AND GOOD.

Today the Legislature will honor itself and Alabama by formally registering the win of the whole people of the State in gift the grand old man whose more than faur-seore years of life have been spent in the service of his people and his State. It is fitting and proper that this honor and this reward should come as the free offer of his people. An Alabamian of choice, the years of his young manhood, his robust middle life and his green and vigorous old age. have been given to Alabama. In war and in peace. at the bar and in the halls of legislation, as on the fields of carnage, wherever duty call ed. there has Edmund Winston Pettus been found. The old Scottish motto,
 Ready. aye ready" has been his reply 10 every call for his service, in war or in peace.
 The formal election which will be made today. and which is merely putting into legal and constitutional form what the people of Alabama have decreed with such unanimity as rarely marks such an important event, is peculiarly significant just as this time. In various States of the Union there are now. and have recently been, contests going on for this same high position. Ordinations and recrimlna- tions. charges and counter-charges, per- sonal and partisan bitterness, bribery and charges of bribery, hover about almost every one of these contests. and some of the men who take their seats in the Sem ate of the United States leave behind them only bitter recolleetions and open wounds.
 How different the present election! The people of Alabama selected the candidate and as the voice of one man they tell him to retain the seat he has honored. No canvass was needed on his part or on the part of his friends. No name but his was thought Of and no other name could sahave been considered. The office comes fosA1R as a reward for long life spent in the service of his State, and as an as- surance that the people who know him and love him have full confidence in his fltness, his honesty and his devotion to duty. and that they know he will be al his post, in the future as in the past. ready and willing to spend his life in their ser- vice.
 The Advertiser feels that the whole peo- pie of Alabama will join 1t in the sincere wish that Senator Psttus may live many years to illustrate the grand citizenship of Alabama and the South

value of his pony. because he can both ride and drive bim; but the value and
 meaning of 160 hcres of land passes his understanding. In small business affairs. he is as shrewd as anybody: but in transactions involving large amounts he is deficient. This fact is the gravest danger that threatens him as . iand owner.
 The best friends of the Indians should teach them that the surest basls of lnde- pendent and responsible citizenship is hcme-owning. but this is kind of teach ing that they are not likely to get because the Territory is all the time overrun with land sharks whose aim will be to induce the Indians to part with their holdings. With a people who have never been ac- custoned to land ownership. it will not be hard for these land sharks to enrich themselves and impoverish their victims. The teachers and the missionaries who are supposed to have the welfare of the Indians at heart should labor to instil into them the value of their lands and the importance of land-holding.

BUYERS GET BUSY.
Big Houses on Broadway Filled with Purchasers of out-of-T Town Houses

PurcnaSerS or Qut-o1-IOWu 81OuSes
 New York Special.
 The hotals of New York are filled with buyers for out-of-town wholesalers, and the jobbers of New York find themselves in the thick of spring business almost be- fore they are ready for it. This incur sion of buyers has begun almost two weeks in advance of the regular time. Although the excursions arranged by the Merchants Association to bring buyers to New York do not begin until Februa- ry l, this seems to have no effect on the number arriving Undoubtedly the old pro- verb, the early bird catches the worm. ' has much to do with this early advance of the dry goods and other buyers. In a number of sample rooms along Broad way that I visited today, l found that the jobbers were doing as brisk a busi- ness as is usually done in the latter part of February or the first of March.
 One important fact noted by the big jobbers is that the orders placed are for goods of better quality, and almost with out exception the bills from the same houses are larger than they were last season. Another indication of the good condition of the country is the fact that nearly every order is rush order, re- porting that their stocks have been de- pleted by unusually good trade, and that they are in hurry for the goods. Not withstanding the alleged tightness of the speculative market. it is agreed that as far as money is concerned the country is much better off. Big Broadway houses report that collections have never been better and that about 40 per cent are practically cash orders, while losses from bad debts are at a minimum.

HAY AS PEACEMAKER.
Endeavoring to Prevent War Be-
 tween Bolivia and Brazil.

Washington, Jan. Z7.-Assiz- Brasil, the Brazilian Minister, and Senor Falles. the Bolivian Charge were again at the State Department today separately in consul tation with Secretary Hay respecting the situation in the territory of Acre upon which President Pando of Bolivia is re- ported to be advancing with an army.
 Several of these conferences have lately been held, and while the parties to them refuse to make any statement of what is going on, there is reason to believe that Secretary Hay is exerting all of his strength to prevent a rupture between Brazil and Bolivia over this insufficient cause and that he hopes to bring them again into amicable relations. The fact that the syndicate which is occupying the Acre territory and thus giving rise to the controversy is largely backed by American capital gives this government the necessary excuse for the tender of good offices.

DouBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- taln signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom which comes under it's notice. and one of these signs IS the mystic symbol ol denOting golden" which stands for high quality, and is thus explained:
 Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for tho mere number of copies printed"
 such papers are credited with . single sym bol: but there Is higher grade. according to this standard authority, which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL Se to describe adequately their, standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol L00l and is the only paper 50 distinguished in this section of the south.

The Huntsville Tribune has little pa- tience with its Republican brethren who are trying to upset or nullify the new Constitution of Alabama. Speaking of the better class of its Party who support ed that instrument. it aays:
 What else could they have done under all conditions. They acted intelligently, for In accepting the Constitution of Ala bama. they accepted and obeyed an in- strument which put intelligent construc- ton upon the law of nature, Gods law. and which put that law into active oper- alton. What a set of asses the Execu- tive Committee would make of them selves, were they to attempt to roll this revolution backward.
 That expressed 1t in good United States language. -

HERRAN's CREDENTIALS.
They Were Drawn Before Signing of
 the Treaty.

Washington. Jan. 27.-Mr. Herran, the Colombian charge. called at the State De- pertinent today and filed his credentials empowering him to take up the busi- ness of the Colombian legation here as the successor of the retired minister, Be- nor Concha.
 These credentials were received in Washington last Saturday and they came by mail from Bogota. As about six weeks was consumed in the journey, it is evident that the credentials were drawn Eome time before the canal treaty was signed by Secretary Hay and MT. Herran
 Secretary Hay fully satisfied himself before embarking in negotiations with MT. Herran that the latter possessed the necessary powers to make the treaty, be- ing advised by cable from United States Minister Hart at Bogota that the Foreign Office there had issued the credentials and forwarded them to Washington.

A WISE CONCLUSION.

In our news columns for today will be found the announcement that the repre- sentatives of the manufacturers and the representatives of the Alabama Commit tee on Child Labor have agreed upon the terms of a bill regulating the labor of children in the factories of the State,
 This Is good news. The bill is a con- promise measure. The Child Labor Com. mittee wanted more comprehensive measure. The committee of the manu- lecturers wanted a less comprehensive measure. The result represents conces- sions on both sides. It should now be accepted by all the representatives of both sides in good faith, and it should be cargied ,throngh both houses with prompt ness and good will.
 The Governors approval of such legis- lation has already been expI essed. It has behind 1t the earnest interest of the lead- ing newspapers of the State and of thousands of the men and women of Ala bama- Out of the vigorous and full dis cusslon of the measure an agreement has heen- reached ip peace. and we trust that prompt action on the part of the Lesis- lature will now make peace doubly sure.

my opinion, our town has just
started. To say that the new
road would affect Bemidji would
be to say that railroads are a det-
rlment to a town. Our town is
the geographical center and is
bound to be the distributing
point 20 ~ miles east, 45 miles
south, As miles west and north
to the Canadian line. Our next
step should be to incorporate as
city and enjoy the same advant-

so large. The business men here

w. L. Brooks: Our prospects
were never better than they are
today and all the business men
here are enthusiastic over the
future. Our strongest point is
the fact that we are railroad
center and general distributing
point for the northern part of the
state. We ought to have starch
or pulp mill, as there is every
prospect of making them good
paying investments, having an
abundance of the raw material.
Our water power is excellent.
An agricultural association would
be a good thing. We are selling
real estate to actual settlers who
will help build up our thriving
town. Land around here is be-
ing settled and before long farm
ing will be among our principal
industries.
