III my life had a sudden and severe
attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice
Miller, of Morgan, Texas. 81 got
temporary relief, but it came back again
and again, and for six long years have
suffered more misery and agony than |
can tell. 1t was worse than death. My
husband spent hundreds of dollars for
physicians prescriptions and treatment
without avail. Finally We moved to
Bosque county, our present home. and
one day | happened to see an advertise
ment of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy with testim 'nial Of
a man who had been cured by it. The
case was so similar to my own that |
concluded to try the remedy. The
result was wonderful. ! could hardly
realize that was well again, or believe
it could be so after having suffered so
fong, but that one bottle of medicine,
costiug but few cents, cure me-" For

Preparing for Test.

Information from Whitewater where
Professor Langley's houseboat, contain
ing his flying machine, is anchored, in
dicates that Professor Langley and his as
sistants will soon make the test of bis
machine. Indications point to the fact
that small flying machine, model of
the real one, will be tried before the bird
itselfgoes on its flight. Charles r. Man
lev. the chief assistant, is in charge, be.
cause, it is said, Professor Langley is so
nervous as TO the result of the trial of his
airship that he will not witness the pre-
liminary test. The workmen were busy
Yesterday preparing the small model
track on top of the houseboat for the test
and for this reason, although those in
terestod refused to give any information,
it is supposed the model will be tested
before the airship itself is launched. The
launching car has been hoisted into
position on the superstructure OF the
houseboat, and it is all ready for the test.
This car is intended to give the airship
its initial momentum and start it off at a
velocity Of 20 feet per second. A large
tug is in attendance on the houseboat,
and when the test is made will follow
and recover the machine should it drop
into the water. AS the model will fly by
itself, not being large enough to carry a
man to navigate it like the real air
ship itself, it is apt to fall into the 70
tomac at a point more or less distant,
and will have to be recovered by force
of men. When the airship itself Is
launched it will carry a man who can
navigate it, and he is supposed to be
able to driyeitin any direction he desires.

Knocked Out of Window.

Two residents of the Mount Vernon
neighborhood conceived the idea of
operating telephones recently by cleo
tricity from the railway power house.
They had previously procured electric
power for the purpose of running a
cream separator, and later placed
telephones in their houses, having made
connection with the dynamo at the
separator. The first night after the
telephones had been placed in position
one of the gentleman started to call up
the other and placed the indicator to his
ear. In less time than it takes to tell 1t
he was knocked out of a window and has
since been nursing a bruised arm.

Beautiful Piano Recital Given at the
 Judson by Miss Williams.

Marion, April 12.-(Special.) )-The piano recital given by Miss Mary Williams at the Judson on Tuesday evening was one of the most enjoyable occasions of the kind in many years.
 The programme consisted of works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Mcdowell Schuett and St. Scans and several songs given by Miss Sallie Macdonald. Miss Williams playing is characterized by great beauty of tone. highly developed technique and an exquisite feeling for the finest gradations to tone and senti- ment. Her interpretations of the Bee thoven Scherzo, the carnival numbers of Schuett and the Mcdowell Witches Dance were exceedingly sympathetic and effective, while the closing Mendelssohn number with organ accompaniment was given with great brillancy precision and charming tonal effects.
 This recital reflected great credit upon the masterful teacher, Prof. Edward l.. Powers. who has made a great reputa- ton as director of music in the Judson.
 The songs by Miss Macdonald, who has a. soprano voice of good range and qual- fly were highly appreciated.

HOWARD
 WAS ACQUITTED Erroneous Report Sent Out About Verdict at Athens HE WASFULLY EX0NERkTED When Verdict Was Announced Num- ber of Ladies Came Up and
 Thanked the Jurors Personal
 y-seIfDefense Proved.
HE WAS FULLY EXONERATED

New Decatur. April 12-(Special.)-1t was erroneously related in the daily press this morning that the trial of Robert Howard, accused of murder in the first degree, resulted in a mistrial at Athens last night where the case was ta-s>>i by Towards lawyers on a change of venue.
 Late yesterday the jury announced they stood eleven for acquittal and one for conviction and it was out of this report that the news was received that 1t was a mistrial
 The jury was sent back and at 11:15 o'clock last night they returned and gave a verdict of mot guilty"
 From the first ballot taken by the jury the vote stood eleven for acquittal and one for conviction, this one vote fixing the penalty at ten years imprisonment.
 Jurors Misunderstood.
 The fact that the first ballot was not unanimous for acquittal was caused by the opposing juror mlsconstruing point in the states evidence After this point was explained to him he immediately 
 for acquittal.
 The immense crowd in the court house at Athens had gone home about 10 o'clock, thinking the jury would remain out all night But when the court house bell was sounded everyone returned to hear the verdict. which they felt sure would exonerate the one for whom they felt such a friendly interest. They exonerated him from all blame in this unfortunate affair.
 On July IS last Robert Howard, who was a Louisville and Nashville eonduc- tor, shot Frank Bauer. a local ball player, in a saloon in this city. Bauer died few days later from the wound. Towards plea was that of self-defense, proving that Bauer first attacked him with a pair of brass knucks, infiicting three wounds on his head.
