 Gov. William D. Jellxs was inaugufated yesterday with large ceremony, atfinG the importance of the event The lnau~ iof khe reform movement that began some fifteen years ago and in the start ing of which The Register had no small part. The inauguration Of Governor Jelks is the triumph of the policy Of h0n- est elections in Alabama. The Stats haa shaken of the nightmare of negro d0nli- nation and the necessity of false hallotE and fictitious counts.

 It is an suspicious day for Alabama. We have much to accomplish, but there never was a people in more favorable richly endowed with the materials and the intelligence with which to command success. And we deserve to profit by the able and patriotic labors which wers crowned with impressive ceremony yes terday in Montgomery.

THE .RIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also 6 Few Facts on the Same Sub
 fact

AlSo GeW GacVe ou tue same SUD-
 ject.
 We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygenic living, about vegeta- rianism and many other fads along the same line.
 Restaurants may be found in the larger cities where no meat, pastry or coffee is served and the food crank Is in his glory, and arguments and theories galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never in- tended for human stomachs, and almost make us believe that our sturdy ances- tors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef, pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from bacon to acorns.
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow In matters of diet and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats Is undoubtedly the best.
 As compared with grains and vegetables, meat furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concentrated form and is digestef and is assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains.
 Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons, people run down Tn neAlLn ana or low vitality should eat meat and plenty of 1t. If the digestion is too feeble at first 1t may be easily cor Iected by the regular use of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two of these excellent tablets taken after din- ner will digest several thousand grains of meat, eggs and other animal food in three hours. and no matter how weak the st mach may be, no trouble will be ex- perienced if 6 regular practice is made OF using Stparts Dyspepsia Tablets because tkey supply the pepsin and diastase nec- essary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
 That large class of people who come under the head of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of meat and insure It's proper digestion by the daily use of A safe harmless digestive medicine like stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. composed of inc natural digestive principles, pepsin. dIastase fruit acids and salts, which &C., tual1y perform the work of digestion Cheap cathartic medicines. rnasoueradinR under the name of dyspepsia cures are useless for indigestion as they have abso. ltiteiy no effect upon the actual diges- tion of food.
 Dyspepsia in all its many forms is sim ply a failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of a preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which Is endorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive princi- pies. wed-fri-sun.

HERE IS A DOG LAW
REFRESHMENTS WADDELL
 WANTS CANNES TAXED.
Bill Introduced Fixes License at 91.50 to Go to Schools and Roads and Legalizes Dogs
 as Property.

Representative B. deG. waddeil of Russell County yesterday introduced into the Alabama House of Representatives a bill providing for the collection of tax on dogs and declaring dogs, on which the tax had been paid to be property.
 There has been a more or less strong demand for such legislation from a num- Der of counties in Alabama where 1t Is claimed the prevalence of dogs has pre- vented sheep and wool growing.
 Most legislators have regarde d the proposition to tax dogs as dangerous to their popularity. They have said that a pronounced stand for tax on dogs would bring them a strong remonstrance from their county constituents. The legisla- tors have in general decided that the question was one to be let alone if a representative wanted to retain his popu- larity.
 MT. Waddell. however. has the courage of his convictions. He is very popular in Russell. which county he represented in the Constitutional Convention.
 Mir. waddelrs bill provides that a license tax of $1.5o shall be levied on every dog in the State. The license which is to be known as the 'dog license Is to be issued by the Judge of Probate and each license Is to describe the dog for which 1t is issued. All dogs foi which such licenses arc to be issued are to be declared property in Alabama.
 The bill provides that the tax shall be covered from month to month in the coun- ty treasury. One dollar of the amount received for dog license is to be appro- priated towards working the public roads and the other 50 cents Is to be paid into the common school fund of the county.
 The bill further provides that any per son having dog for which he does not take out a license shall be punished as for a violation of the revenuel law.

Necessary to Life.
 vinol Makes it.
POOR BLOOD CAUSES ERUP- TONS AND WEAKNESS.
vinol Makes Pure, Rich,
 Red Blood.
BECAUSE WE KNOWN THIS WE GUARANTEE ITS ACTION.

Impoverished blood is a sure sign of internal disorders. We see every day too many people whose faces plainly show that there is something radically wrong.
 We want all of our fellow-citizens to know of our splendid blood purifier and blood maker.
 We refer to Vinol.
 Vinol, as we have before stated, is . purely scientific preparation.
 Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that 1t contains in a highly concentrated state the active curative principles, taken from the livers of live cods-the same elements that formerly were found in cod-liver oil, and which made 1t famous.
 Vinol does not contain the grease or fat that characterized cod-liver oil and made it in many cases worthless.
 Vinol acts upon every one of the great vital organs, and by invigorat- ing and giving them strength, enables them to properly perform their func- tioas.
 Vinol's effect on the stomach is mar vicious. 1t tones up this, the greatest of the organs of the body, and enables it to obtain from the food which is taken into it the necessary elements to create flesh and muscle tissue, bone structure and pure, rich, red blood.
 We are in receipt of letter from . Savation Army woman which reads as follows:
 "I took Vinol after bad attack of grippe, and so much good did it do mo that persuaded my sister to take it. She was all tired out. Had no appe- tite and her blood was very poor. It did her as much good as it did me. "-- BETSY HABERsHAw, 71s River St., Fall River, Mass.
 Won't you please come in and see us7 We are always glad to extoI the merits of VinoI.
 We will give you back your money f you don't find Vinol will do all we claim it will. Could any one do more for youP ,e E. 6. Fowler, Druggist.

drance to the transfer of the East Coast
 Iine to the Southern has been that the
 Southern Is ayerse to entering the hotel
 business and Mir. F1agler Is unwilling 10
 sell his railroad unless his system of mag
 nificent hotels is to go with the road. The Florida East Coast controls abso-
 lutely the business to the most populous
 resorts in Florida, and if the Southern should get control of 1t the other roads
 would have to take Mir Spencer's terms
 to get theif trains to any point below
 Jacksonville.
 It is known that the Atlantic Coast Line
 also has an eye on the East Coast and exist between the Coast Line and the
 Southern. providing that neither shall purchase the East Coast. Such agree ments never count for much, so railroad men say. and they should know. At the present time each road is watching the other and the officials of either would not experience any great surprise should they wake up some fine morning to find the East Coast scooped by the other. For some reason, 1t is said that the Southern has the inside track, and that it will, in all probability. get the road. The Seaboard Air Line Is also strong factor in Florida, and would undoubt- edly, look with great disfavor upon the purchase of this road by the Southern. At the present time the Southern, Central of Georgia, the Seaboard and the Coast Line, all run into St. Augustine over the East Coast but should the deal go through the Southern would be in a posi- ton to shut the other roads out.

Foreigners Who Are Not Welcome

Philadelphia Ledger.
 Immigration is now increasing at a very rapid rate owing to the efforts of the agents of steamship companies in Eu- rope who tell the immigrants that the new immigration law Is to be passed and that this Is their last chance to come to America. There is, in consequences. an oncoming wave of illiterate, criminal, insane. pauperized, weak-minded and diseased humanity. |" Everybody well comes the brave, self-relianI foreigner who has tis energy, the initiative" to strike out for fortune in a strange and distant land. but the assisted iGnmigra- tion urged hither by the steamship com panies for the sake of profit and the de- based and diseased beings which the European countries wish % get rid of arc real meaee to the nation.

A Vessel to Go Out of Pensacola with

 A Pensacola dispatch says: What is said to be the record cargo of cotton to be loaded in vessel at Gulf port is now being stored in the British steam ship Manchester Corporation by the Lou isville and Nashville Railroad. The car go will consist of 5000 bales. In addi- ton the vessel will carry 5000 bushels of wheat. Several years ago a vessel went out of Galveston with 250O0 bales of cotton. and since that time number have been loaded with 20.000 and up wards. but 1t is claimed by maritime men and cotton exporters that the Pensacola cargo will lead anything heretofore ship ped out. Twenty thousand bales Is the record heretofore held in Pensacola. The cargo of the Manchester Corporation will go to Hamburg and Bremen. What is also claimed to be feat in storing the fieecy staple was the handling and stor- ing of 5000 bales of this cotton in three days"

The 1. ~ Ms East tennessee Work.
 A dispatch from Knoxville says: Tt is given out that the Louisville and Nash vile has requested the contractors on the north end of the Knoxville. Lafoilette and Jellico Railway to have the road ready for the operation of trains from Jellico to Lafollette on August 1. It Is expected that the road can be opersted from this city to Copper Ridge, north. by August 1. Delay will likely be expe- rienced in completing the tunnel through Copper Ridge. as 1t is said strata has been encountered and other difficulties have arisen that may require two years time to complete the entire work. If this is true the tunnel will not be finished be- fore the summer of 1904. and this would delay the operation of through trains un- til that time unless a temporary road should be built far around Copper Ridge, if such thing could be done. Work Is being pushed. both night and day, on this tunnel"

Plans Big Improvements.

A New York dispatch to The New Or leans Times-Democrat says:
 The management of the Southern Rail-
 way Company, which owns the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, has determined to spend large sums of money in the im- provement of that property within the next few years. The Mobile and Ohio lines between Cairo and East St. Louis are to be straightened and the track re- constructed so as to reduce grades as
 much as possible It is expected that the earning capacity of this line will be in- creased 40 to 50 per cent. The operat- ing expenses will be reduced about oneS half. The Mobile and Ohio now has many
 severe grades and sharp curves. Alto Pass, which is at the top of the steepest elevation along the line, Is reached by q grade of about 100 feet to the mile for three or four miles on either side. Four hundred tons is a trainload for one en- zine over this hill The course of the track is to be changed in order to avoid this climb. and an immense amount of excavation and grading will be neces' sary to make the change.
