BAD POLICY FOR STATE

The policy of the state land de-
partment. as indicated by an inter
vieT at Boise, to the effect that the
state should discontinue the selling
OF its timber and agricultural lands
is policy that should be condemned
and opposed by all citizens who have
at heart the welfare and develop
ment of the state. Landlordism and
tenantry, whether practised by indi-
viduaI, corporation or state, is Mt
terly repugnant to American citizen
snip and destructive of the oppor-
tunitles freemen are entitled to and
'na' nave made our country so great
and prosperous. The Tribune 10
wholly unable to conceive how men
holding positions of responsibility in
the state can weigh the petty profits
to arise from the future enhanced
value of the public lands against the
incomparably greater profits to accrue
TO the state from being peopled with
nome builders and prosperity makers
and tax payers and defenders of the
country and of the government. The
idea Is so narrow and so fallacious

Phillips played Jeanne Becu. the miller who becomes Duchess Du Barry. Corse Peyton appeared as Richelieu, W. A. Mortimer as King Louis, and Robert Ei- liott as Duke ChoiseuL The play was staged under the direction of George Hoey.
 The flashing soubrette on the stage. who laughs, and dances, and kisses, who appears in all sorts of picturesque cos tunes, Is often on the stage a sweet. modest. commonplace little woman. full hlling all the higher and graver obliga- tons of life in a manner that is in strik- Ing contrast to her occupation before the footlights. It would be surprising to the average spectators how many of these women, whom they imagine shining bril- liantly at champagne suppers. retire quietly after the theatre with their hus- bands to staid little support of sand wiches. or steak and potatoes, beer or coffee. and amuse themselves during the morning hours by open air outings to keep them tn fresh and vigorous health.

 Tuscumbia, Dec. 12.-(Special. .(-Con- gressman William Richardson of the Eighth Alabama Congressional District has introduced a bill in the present Con gress. which has been referred to the Committee on War Claims, authorizing an appropriation of $5,OOO from the treasu- ry of the United States to be paid Wash ington Lodge No. 36, F. and A. M. of this city, for the use and occupation of the Masonic building in this place during the Civil War, to cover damages in the con- fiscation and appropriation of brick, lum- Der, and other material by Federal troops. All necessary proofs are in the possession of the file clerk of the Houe of Represen- tatives and will be used in support of Congressman Rlchardson's bill.
 Candidates for the various county off, fees to be filled in Colbext County next year are being put forward. The most important office is that of Probate Judge, and there will evidently be several aspi- rants for this position. It is rumored that the present occupant, Hon. Fox Delony, who has served two full terms, will be a candidate for reelection, and that several other well-known public men are likely to contest with him for the honors and emoluments of the office.

THE BURGLARIZED SAFES WHERE THE PUBLIC
 GAN SEE THEM

The people of Montgomery are still talking of the daring safe robbery of December 9th and the fact that no one was hurt by the explosions of dynamite is still a mystery, as the quantity used was enough to wreck a building, as is evidenced by the demolished safes. The doors are on exhibition at Todd's Gun Store. MT. Todd has arranged these in his front show window where the public can inspect them. This should not be missed, es it is a real curiosity. These are the first safes ever biowu open by dynamite in this city. Don't forget the place, Todd's Gun Store Sign Big Gun. Phone GAS.

A SIGNAL CORPS.
Movement on Foot to Organize One for
the Third Infantry, A. NJ. @.

A signal corps will in all probability
be attached to the Third infantry, Ala
bama National Guard. A movement is on
foot to organize one, and Adjutant Cen
eral w. w. Brandon has been asked by
letter If 1t is practicable.
Colonel Brandon was in the city last
night, and when asked about the mat
ter said he had received letter from
Birmingham men inquiring about the ap-
preparation and the equipment. He said
1t was possible to give the equipment but
he did not know about the state appro-
priation.
The corps would consist of about fifteen
men, and such a corps is supposed to be
attached to all regiments, infantry, cav
airy and artillery A military organiza-
ton is not considered to be complete
without signal corps, but there is not
one connected with any of the Alabama
regiments. Colonel Brandon has the pow
er to order them, but will probably leave
It to the colonel of each regiment.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles,

The remedy is not heralded as a won
derful discovery, nor yet secret patent
medicine, neither Is 1t claimed to cure
anything except dyspepsia indigestion and
stomach troubles with which nine out of
ten suffer.
The remedy is In the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges, containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic
pepsin government test,) golden seal
and diastase. The tablets are sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting ex-
periments to test the digestive power of
Stuart's Tablets show that one grain of
the active principal contained In them
is sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000
grains of raw meat, eggs and other whole
some food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and in
flame the intestines without having any
effect whatever in digesting food or cur
ing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and assist
ed in the work of digestion 1t will very
soon recover its normal vigor, as no or
gan is so much abused and overworked
as the stomach.
This is the secret II there is any Sc
cret of the remarkable success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. a remedy
practically unknown few years ago and
now the most widely known of any treat
ment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon It's merits as a digestive pure and
simple because there can be no stomach
trouble IL the food is promptly digested
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely
on the food eaten, digesting it complete
ly, so that 1t can be assimilated into
blood, nerve and tissue. They cure dys-
pepsia, water brash, sour stomach, gas
and bloating after meals, because they
furnish the digestive power which weak
stomachs lack and unless that lack is
supplied It is useless to attempt to cure
by the use Of "tonlcs." pills" and cathar-
tics which have absolutely no digestive
power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
at all drug stores and the regular use of
one or two of them after meals. will DEM
onstrate their merit better than any other
argument.
