THE soLIPHoNE's NEUTRALITY.

The Paragould Soliphone follows a
gushing eulogy of CIV. Davis with the
statement that it is neutral in the gu
bernatorial race Mr. Taylor, the edi.
tor of the Soliphone, was once opposed
to the unspeakabe Jeff, and the Little
Rock Democrat thus explains the Scli-
phones alleged neutrality:
IT eIr memory is not at fault, Mr..
j. r. Taylor, was at one time an OPP
pCnent of the governor, and did not
hesitate to say so. When the governor
needed the services of thoroughly
non. partisan expert to audit the books
of the treasurer short time ago, Mr..
Taylor was selected. The work took
several days, for which the modest
sum of one hundred dollars was allow
ed. Why not be neutral under such
conditions? And why should the gov
ernor fail to take advantage Of the
write-up and pay to have the same
inserted in the papers al his awn eX-
pense in order that il may be seen how
very neutral some folks are We give

DISCRIMINATING LADIES,
Enjoy Using Herpicide on Account q
It's Distin ctiveneAs.

The ladies who have used Newbro's
herpicide speak Of It IN the highest
terms, for its quick effect in cleansing
the scalp OF dandrur and also for its ex-
cellence as general hair-dressing. It
makes the scalp feel fresh and it allays
that itching which dandruf will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
dandrur. as it destroys the germ that
causes 1t. The same germ causes hair to
fall out and later badness; in killing It,
Herpcide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. It is also an ideal hair dress
ing. for il lends an aristocratic charm to
the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold
by leading druggists. Send 10c in stamps

 Long Sought.

People will read advertisements about cures made by medicine. As they read they wonder if the statements are true. If true, was the relief temporary or per pament? Read this case about Doan' s Kidney Pills:

They are the best remedy I ever came across.

MAYOR SENDS MESSAGE
SUBMITS VIEWS TO COUNCIL ON
 THREE SUBJECTS.
Opposed to Buying Fire Hose, Re port on Heron Street School Building and the Drinking
 Fountains.

Three messages bearing upon city legis- lation were sent to the City Council last night. The messages bore upon three res olutions recently passed by the Council.
 me most important was the Mayors message recommitting to the Council the resolution passed at the last meeting in- structing the City Treasurer to advertise for bids for supplying the city with 2.00O feet of cotton fire hose. The Mayors mes sage was a practical veto of the resolu- ton. He said that there was no need for additional hose and that there would be no need of any more hose for the next six months. He said, moreover, that the hose could be secured within ten days after the awarding of the contracts. The Mayor said that the information set forth in his mes sage was furnished him by the Chief of the fire department.
 The resolution, he said, was passed through a misunderstanding between the chairman of the Fire Cmmittee and the Chief of the fire department. The Mayors message on the fire hose resolution was as follows:
 "Ofice of the Mayor.
 Montgomery, Ala, May IS. 1903. ITO the City Council.
 "Geftlemen:--At your last regular meet ing a recommendation from the Commit tee on Fire Department was adopted in- structing the City Trfeasurer to adver- tise for bids for 2.0O0 feet of cotton fire hose for the fire department.
 After conference with the chairman of the Committee on Fire Department and the Chief of fire department, it appears that there has been some misunderstand- ing as to the immediate necessity for the purchase of this hose. . ''The Chief of the fire department ad- vises me:
 "First-That there is no immediate need for additional hose for the fire depart ment.
 "Second-In his opinion 1t will be five or six months before 1t will be necessary to buy additional hose.
 "Thrd-That under ordinary conditions he can count safely upon getting hose within about ten days after contract is awarded for same.
 Under these circumstances and the further fact that you have appropriated no money to pay for same. have thought

 Gadsden. May 10. 0.(SpeciaD-Work on the extension of the Louisville and Nashville extension from Altoona to Attalla Is be- ing rushed as fast as money, men and teams can do the work At present there are five large grading outfits at work, of which three are beyond the tunnel and two are on this side. A corps of engineers are camped near Attalla, and are winding up the necessary surveying The work on the roadbed is being pushed rapidly and men are being sent out daily to increase the force. At the tunnel the big hole is being bored at both ends. Special repre- sentatives of the Louisville and Nashville have been in the city figuring on the bridge over the Coosa here and seeing what a new one would cost and also seeking out a suitable place to cross. They also examined the contract with the coun- ty authorities here in reference to the contract they have for the bridge It Is believed by some that the railroad peo- pie will make overtures to the county authorities in reference to taking the contract they have for the bridge. It is believed by some that the railroad people will make overtures to the county author ities in reference to taking the bridge but this is not certain.

 Alderman Kohn drew attention to the fact that the Mayors message referred to fountains in the street and not in the park and cemetery. He said that the mess sage was therefore incomplete.
 On his motion the matter was referred back to the Mayor.

 Russelvllle, May 1S.-(Special. )-As a result of last weeks Circuit Court. Henry Hamilton and Matt Davis, both negroes, go to the penitentiary for three years, Hamilton for stealing a COW, Davis for forgery in the second degree. His crime was a somewhat unusual one, or rather the plot which led up to 1t was. He wanted another negro here, Charles Hel- ton, killed To accomplish this he wrote one of the Russelville young white men q very insulting letter, signing Charlie Helton's name to it. Only an accident kept him from succeeding It afterwards developed that Helton could not write at all. Daviss authorship of the letter was proven beyond uoubt. Jack Bruton. a white farmer 60 years old, was given 254 days hard abor on two cases of wife beating. Four other indictments are pending against him for some charge. During his trial the somewhat unusual occurrence was seen of both juries being 'out" at the same time on the same charge against one man,
 He was tried before Jury No. 1. They retired to make up their verdict Bruton was immediately placed on trial for an- other case of wife beating before Jury No 2. The same witness, his wife. in both cases. The trial occupied only a few minutes, jury No. retiring to the jury room.
