| Will Cure You of
Rheumatism

Any honest person who suffers from
Rheumatism is welcome to this offer.
l am a specialist in Rheumatism, and
have treated more cases than any other
physician, l think. For 16 years / made
1000 experiments with different drugs
testing all known remedies while search

Germany which, with my previous discov-
cries, gives me a certain cure

disease at any stage, completely and for
ever l have done 1t fully 100000 times.

SELMA.
Dispensary Agitation Begins Without
Much Hope of Success.


Selma, January 12.-(Special 1.-The dis
pensary agitation for Selma took a new
turn yesterday when the Liquor Dealers
association of Selma issued a pemphlet
containing letters and articles against the
establishment of the dispensary. The
letters were from Rome, Ga, Athens,
Ga, and Charleston, where dispensarios
prevail and are strong arguments against
the proposed measure. The dispensary
advocates welcomed the pamphlet as it
was the first time that the liquor dealers
had shown any disposition to fight back,
having been contented heretofore to treat
with silent contempt the efforts of the
dispensary people, headed by Ernest La
mar, a prominent merchant and business
man. The pamphlet seems to have stirred
the dispensary advocates up. and today
they have been quite active In circulating
a petition for signatures, which is to be
presented to the members in the legisla-
ture from Dallas county. The plan adopt
ed by Mr.. Lamar was to send to about
a hundred dispensary advocates blank
petitions and requested each to secure
not less than ten signatures. MIR. Lamar
made two attempts to have a primary
election called to vote on the question of
DlSpenSafy or mo DlSpenSary, but
each time the city executive commit dee
refused to order an election, it being de-
clared that the dspensary was a matter
with which the democracy, as a party
had nothing to do. 1t Is thought unlike
~ that a dispensary will ever prevail in
Selma. Noses have been counted and out
of a possible twelve hundred voters the
dispensary could not 1t is alleged, poll
more than four hundred and fifty votes
While the sudden drop in temperature
has caused considerable campaigning
anent the cold weather, the mercury at
Selma only went down to rs degrees dur
ing last night. This is ten degrees above
the mark reached about December 90

COMMISSIONERS GO
TO THE EXPOSITION
WILL MAKE REPORT AS TO AD-
VISIBILITY OF ALABAMA MAX
ING EXHIBIT AT T..LoUIs-GoR-
MAN TALKS.

J. NJ Falkner of Montgomery, J. B.
Gibson of Birmingham, ". P. Lay of
Gadsden, and Roscoe w German of Ope-
lika, met here yesterday at noon and left
few minutes later for St. Louis where
they went to investigate the situation in
regard to an Alabama exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. They
will report to the Alabama commission
which meets in Montgomery in the near
future.
The commission has asked the legis-
lature for $4,000 to be used in putting
an Alabama exhibit at the st. Louis ex-
position and a number of the members
of the Legislature have stated they were
in favor of making the appropriation.
r. W. German, one of the commissioners
who went to st. Louis yesterday, ex-
pressed himself as follows before leav-
ing;
mo such opportunity has ever come
to Alabama before, and. as this is the
elimination of the exposition idea, will
ever come again. The matchless resources
of our state if properly exhibited will
strike the millions who see the display
with wonder and admiration. Within our
state lines are embraced a vaster wealth
of more varied kinds than any similar
territory under the sun holds. Here eli
mate and soil bring the maximum of re-
suits with the minimum of effort. Here
are the mineral wealth of different kinds
that would put Golcondas gold to shame.
All we need is good settlers and more

PORTO RIcAN LEGISLATURE.
Recommendation for the Surrender OF
Certain Lands.

San Juan, P. r., January 1R.-The In
sular Legislature was convened today and
organized to hear Governor Hunts mes
sage. ~
At the joint session of both houses to be
held tomorrow the Legislature will recon-
mend that the island surrender all claim
to those public lands which may be set
aside by President Roosevelt for national
purposes and the legislature will grant
sites for an American naval stationNher
and at Culebra.
1t is said this plan Is in pursuance with
an agreement to the regard of location
for naval stations in those waters which
has been effected with Washington. the
failure to provide for naval stations lass
year was due in part to the refusal Oh
Porto Rico to surrender the desired ter
ritory without compensation.

THEIR WORK FOR THEIR CITY.
Philanthropic Young Women Who Re-
build Tenements of Pittsburq.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
THE Octayia Hill association" formed
by number of wealthy, philanthropic
Pittsburg young women with the object
OF buying up unsanltary tenement build
fngs wherever located remodeling them
and making them fit abodes for human
beings, then renting them once more TO
worthy people without increase I'm the
rental formerly charged, will be chartered
shortly at Harrisburg. The new associa-
ton has responsible backing among the
city's business men, and the projectors
declare 1t will figure largely In reforming
certain VIGOROUSLY unhealthy tenement
districts. The corporation, modelled after
Philadelphia institution which SUR
prised it's projectors by proving self
supporting, will have nominal capitali-
cation of 900 in shares of so each and
the charter will be applied for at Harris
burg on January II.
Miss Mary f. Blackwell. Miss Alice
Holdship and Miss Anne Phillips are to
be the ncorporators of the new associa-
ton. They have associated with them a
number of their young women friends
and the whole have ample backing from
male friends and relatives to allow the
contamination of deals aggregating in the
hundreds of thousands of dollars. The
one principle of the movement is that no
pauperism vagrancy will be tolerated
Only tenants with the proper moral quail
fications will be considered.
The enterprise is by no means wom-
ans. club movement, nor Is 1t to be sub
scribed to or supported exclusively by
women. Business men will be asked to
take an active interest. A meeting was
held Saturday at the Twentieth Century
club, at which the purpose of the organ
ization was explained. OF the $1,000 neces-
sary to. secure the Incorporation papers,
1850 wis subscribed. The entire capital
ization will be paid up before the asso-
citation takes out papers. A prospectus
will be issued Immediately.
Philadelphia's model tenement associa-
tion, from which the lines for Pittsburgs
new organization are taken, was organ
lied six years ago and from nearly the
first has been a paying investment.

Zero Weather in the Ohio Valley and
-z River Full of Ice.

Cincinnati, January 12.-According to
a special received here zero weather
prevailed throughout the Ohio valley to-
day, but tonight it is moderating. This
was the coolest weather of the season and
oceasioned much suffering at number OF
points on account of the scarcity of coal.
This is especially true of the towns in
the Interior who depend upon the rail-
roads for their coal. The towns along
the Ohio river are well supplied, but the
prices have been advanced, owing to the
heavy demand, due to the cold weather.
The Ohio river continues to fall from
Pittsburg down and it is crowded with
ice. Navigation of the river in this vicin-
ity@has been suspended tonight on ac-
count of the floating ice and the indica-
lions are that it will be several days be-
fore traffic can be resumed.

Officials Subpoenaed

ing Dealers Having Planned in Sc

ance of Don r. Patterson and w. H.

nois railroad in connection with the coal

other railroad officials. but no return had
been made at late hour.
s. M. Dalzell of the Spring Valley Coal

he remained before the inquistors for
nearly an hour. He was followed by e.
I. Brent, secretary-treasurer of the ILL
nois Coal Operators association; Charles
W. Gilmore of the Crescent Coal and Min
ing company, and George H. Holt Of the
Building Managers association. Evil
denee is said to have been secured tend
ing TO prove that the operations of the
alleged conspiring dealers are planned in
secret quarters In a downtown office
building, and that daily conferences were
held until the present investigation be-
gan. The manager of the building is said
to be a prospective witness, who, it is
believed, will give the jurors information
of great value In the investigation.
A subponea duces tecum was issued late
this evening by the special jury for W.
F. Boyle president; C. w. Gilmore, vice
president, and Norman b. kirkland, sec
retary-treasurer of the Crescent Coal and

his home, but refused to recognize the
authority Of the Cook county officials and
declined to return to Chicago and appear
before the grand jury as a witness. 1t is

ton of the court before the subpoena had
been issued.
The city council tonight took a hand in
the solution of the coal problem An

pension of the rules. After ten days 1t

firm that enters into a combination with
intent to increase the price of any fuel
will be amenable to the court for VIOLA
ton of city ordinances.
