rant was issued by G. L. Lowther
for the arrest of Captain ] H. Pine,
on a charge of forgery. About halt
past 8 o'clock he was arrested by
lG. o. Cutler, constable and brought
before the justice. His attorney.
Hunt & Staples appeared for the
terminal and moved to quash the
warrant because the name OF the
Justice issuing 1t had not inserted
his name In blank place for 1t at
the top of the warrant The justice
over ruled the motion. The de-
fendan,s attorneys then entered a
plea of not guilty and waived a
preliminary hearing. The justice
then held him to answer to the
G and jury In the sum of three
thousand dollars. Mr.. Pine could
not get any oneto 60 on his bond,
80 Constable Cutler took charge Of
him and guarded him all night last
night at the home OF Capt. Pine.
This warrant was sworn to by
ex mayor CIV Grier and the charge
was founded upon an order issued
on the 14th day of October 1901,
when Mr.: Grier was mayor The
order is No. 2743, Is payable to the
order of Higgins & Setter
and was issued first for the
sum of ten dollars. The
clerk changed The figures S1o by
adding another cipher and a period,
making. 1t read S1oo. and over the
written word ten" in the order ne
wrote cone hundred" and so raised
the order from ten dollars to one
hundred dollars. There being no
money 10 the city treasury at that
time ;his order was taken by Capt.
Pine to the First Nat DUAL Bank
and he was paid this amount in the
way of a draft on a New York
bank. The bank then presented
1t for payment TO the city collector
who would endorse on the back
No funds" and then under the
laws of our State, the order would
draw six per cent interest. The
bank holds large number of orders
aggregatine In all about 81, 900. In
October and April the bank would
ask the council to allow 1t an order
for the interest on these orders
which hss been done right along.
Among the orders held by this bank
there are several changed or raised
orders amounting In the aggregate
to $c4o. They are all forgeries
and the changes can be readily de,
tected now when looked at closely.
Whether these orders were changed
before the mayor signed them or
afterwards no one can tell and per-
haps the captain himself don't
know. These lot of orders alone

1.-THE penitentiary for the rest of his
life and many years beside.
Pine In the Penitentiary Before.
1t Is generally known to many
that Capt. Pine served term In
the Moundsville penitentiary before
he came here. County Surveyor J
G. Warner was In the city today
and from him we learn some of the
particulars of what caused the
Captain to be sent up. Mr.. Warner
was a member of the Uuited
States grand jury that found the
indictment against Pine. At that
time Mr.. Pine was residing at
Harpers Ferry, Va, He had been
paying his devotions to lady, who
was a beautiful woman who after.
wards married a clergyman instead
of the Captain. When Pine heard
of her wedding he wrote very In
sultiug letter to the minister who

not printable After the Cap
tain had been indicated, he was
arrested and brough. f'r trial be-
fore Judge John I. Jackson, at
Parkersburg He WIS there brought
face 10 face with The postmaster,
where he had mailed the etter, 10
whom the Captain had read 1t be
fore mailing 1t and was told then
and there by the postmaster that 1t
he did do so he would be indicted
and punished, but the letter was
mailed There was also In the
court room the lady and her hus'
band ready to produce the letter.
Ex Gov Atkinson was then attor.
ney for the United States and pro.
secuted the case. Captain Pine
confessed to being guilty as chafg
ed and sentenced to two years In
the penrtentiary at Moundsville.
Judge Jac soa lectured him very
severely when he sentenced him.
/ made him deliver to the lady all her
letters and called him some very
hard names. Mr.. Pine served his
term out, getting off the time al
lowed all prisoners for good behav'
Tor. He was model prisoner. After
he left the penitentiary he came
here which was about the time the
oil field opened up here and our
first acquaintance with him at the
Review office was when he came IN
one day and asked us to print him
some large posters, announcing be
would deliver a lecture on his lite
In prison. He had no money, and
as security he pawned with US
cheap nj, kle watch. Nobody at
tended his lecture so he could not
redeem the watch and we kept 1t a
long time and finally gave 1t away.
Long after that M Pine called to
redeem his wa.ch aud thanked us
most kindly for trusting him and
offering to pay US for the bills we
had printed for him. Naturally we
marked him down as thoroughly
honest man from that date, but It
now appears we were slightly mis-
taken.
To Go to Jail.
All day long the friends of Capt.
Pine have been trying to find
bondsmen for him, members of the
K. of P. of which the captain is a
member, have been at work all day
trying to arrange to get bondmen,
but have failed. His attorneys say
he can not give bond. He Is In
charge of Constable Cutler, who
informs as tomorrow morning
bright and early he will take the
captain to jail at Middlebourne 10
be held until court convenes the
14th of this month. He may find
boudsman before that time, but has
no hopes of doing so at this writing
Constable Cutler. who has been
guarding Mr.. Pine since his arrest
last night says the prisoner says
nothing at all, but just sits around
and seems to be In deep thought.
We have no doubt now but before
noon tomorrow the Captain will be
In jail at the County seat. An
awful ending of what might have
been an honorable name. We have
tried to find some excuse for the
Captain but there Is none. He has
swindled the city, the Argus OIL
Co., Chamberlain & Rout, the Hen
thorn heirs for whom be was
administrator and wherever he
could do so he has !betrayed the
confidence reposed In him and
simply swindled his friends on
every hand. Its an awful charge

Poll Tax Requirements.

In the statement made by Chairman Antwine in yesterdays papers, the fol- lowing appears:
 ''The poll tax receipts of 1901 will not be required. The poll taxes of 1902 must have been paid to permit of a vote in this primary. 1t is set forth that to have secured life time certificate the 1901 poll tax must have been paid.-'
 It Is gratifying to know that MT. Ant wine recognizes the binding force of the following part of the new constitution: No person shall be qualified to vote or participate in any primary election. party convention mass meeting or other meth cd of party action of any political party or faction, who shall not possess the qualifications prescribed in this article for an elector, or who shall be disquali- fled from voting under the provisions of this article. ."-Section 1S3 new eonstitu- ton: ITO entitle a person to vote at any election by the people. he shall have paid all poll taxes due from him Tor the year 1901. and for each subsequent year"-Section IFS, new constitution.
 So fair construction of MT. Antwine statement makes 1t plain that there Is no variance between that statement and the law as 1t stands.
 Therefore, the man who expects to vote without having paid his poll tax for 1901 will be disappointed.

JUSTIN THATCHER RECITAL.
Interesting Musical Programme at Jesse French Music Hall Thursday.

w. c. U. Seeboeck, who will be one Of the features of the Justin Thatcher re- ,tal to be given at the Jesse French Music kall next Thursday evening, March l, is a composer as well as musician, and ,requently he plays his own compositions. A Chicago paper said of one of his re- ctals:
 "A programme made up entirely of the ccmpositio ns of w. c. E. Seeboeck was given by that pianist last night at Uni versity hall in the Fine Arts building.
 Chief interest was centered in the na- lure and value of the compositions pre- sented, and they proved not only without exception meritorious, but many of them were of rare beauty.
 "But the fact that Mir See boeck has Q true and often exquisite musical inspira- ton is shown beyond controversy by the compositions in question:. The general im- pression given is that of spontaneous crea- ton. There is no carpentry about them. Indeed, ore of their chief charms is their hirectness and simplicity. Apparent sub tlety and intellectual interest is not sought for by complexity of structure, but the subtltty of the mood, of the musical conception, is expressed with masterly simplicity.
 Lovely melodies, lightness, grace, sprightly rhythm, deep and sometimes subtle feeling. varied color, besides intel ligent musicianship, make these compost tions well worth hearing and remember lng."
 Justin Thatcher, the tenor. who Is so well and popularly known here, will sing several of his choicest selections on that night. and he is sure to have large num- Ter of Friends ana music lovers to hear him.

INTERESTING, IF TRUE.
You Can Try 1t for Yourself and Prove

One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can per, form for himself in the following man ner: Cut hard boiled eggs into very small pieces, as 1t would be if masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or jar containing warm water heated to 9s degrees 0he temperature of the body) and keep 1t at this temperature for .nree and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as com pletely digested as it would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy.
 The point of this experiment is that what Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle it will do to the egg or meat in the stomach and noth- ing else will rest and invigorate. the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuarts Tablets with safety and benefit if its digestion is weak and the thousands of cures accom- plished by their regular daily use are easily explained when it is understood that they are composed of vegetable es- sences, aseptic pepsin, diatase and Golden Seal, which mingle with the food and dl- gest 1t thoroughly, giving the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate.
 Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines. which simply irritate and infiame the intes- tines.
 When enough food is eaten and prompt ly digested there will be no constipation, nor in fact will there be disease of any kind because good digestion means good health In every organ.
 The merit and success of Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets are world wide, and they are sold at the moderate price of 50 cents for full sized package in every drug store in the United States and Canada, as well as in Europe.

(POLITICAL)
Seventh Ward Candidate.

Solon Jacobs, candidate for alderman from the Seventh ward is recognized as one of the most public spirited of the younger business men in the city. He came to Birmingham in 1887 with the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad. but for the past ten years has held the position of commercial agent of the Central of Georgia
 MT. Jacobs has always taken an active interest in the young men of the city. For ten years he has been president O. the Birmingham Athletic club, and during that time the club has grown from fifty six members to 600.
 The public schools have also had much attention from MT. Jacobs during his resi- dence here, and his friends say it could not be otherwise, born as he was in the great school state of Kansas.
 MT. Jacobs is making a very spirited race for alderman from the Seventh and his friends feel that the result Of the polls tomorrow night will certainly show his election by a good round ma jortv. sss
