ANNISTON.
Warrants for Arrest Are Served on
 Two Officers-PuddIer Burned.

Anniston, January 6.-(Speclal.)-It Is quite seldom that a policeman gets ar rested, however, such was the case here yesterday, when Constable Sweets served warrants on Officer Thomas Self and John Fitzgerald. The cause of the arrest started on last Friday, when the above mentioned officers went to the house of a negro to get a dog that had disappear ed from Cleburne county, and on which there was a reward of s25.
 The officers got the dog, but before they had time to deliver the dog or claim the reward the negro had brought suit in the justice court and regained posses sion of the canine.
 On Sunday Officer Self found the negro and dog at the union depot, when he again got possession, this time resulting in the negro swearing out warrant as above stated. The charges against Of- ficer Self was for taking the dog and against Officer Fitzgerald for assault, and the cases will be tried before Judge Crook in the County court next Friday. Both were released on their own recog- nizance. Attorneys have been engaged to represent both sides. MT. Fitzgerald in addition to being a policeman Is jus tice of the peace in Ward five.

 "The class of cases that I suggest should be brought within this rule it seems to me Is of as great importance as any of those referred to. The suggested provision requiring q full bench of the circuit judges would ensure the cases receiving as full consideration before pre- sentation to the Supreme court as if heard by the United States Circuit court of appeals.
 Tt is too much to say that with these gaps closed the scheme of governmental regulation will be complete; but it Is clear without some similar legislation, it would continue to be inadequate And such legislation will make long, first stride In advance. Very respectfully yours,

WORTH KNOWING
At This Season of the Year.

Any cough accompanied by expectora- ton which lasts over three or four days requires attention and treatment; this does not mean a visit to the hospital nor to your physician nor whol l-sae drug gist, with patent medicines; hut 1t means that some simple, harmless tlective an- tiseptic remedy like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets should be used to ward off any possible termination in Pneumonia, Chronic Catarrh Bronchitis or Consump- ton
 All of these formidable diseases start from common cold, neglected or allow ed to run It's course and it is only the ex- ercise of common every day caution to cure a cold as quickly as possible, not so much for what 1t Is at the moment, but what 1t may become if neglected.
 Perhaps no remedy Is so safe, reliable and convenient to stop a cold or obsti- nate cough as Stuarts Gatarrh Tablets.
 The extract of bloot root contained in them, combined with the red gum of the Eucalyptus tree, seem to put the mu- cous membrane of the nose, mouth and throat in a condition to throw off the germs of catarrh, bronchitis and con- sumption, and as they are taken internal ly they seem to equalize the circulation and place the body In that condition of health which resists, and throws off the germs of disease.
 A person in perfect health rarely catches cold and if he does, throws it off in a day or two, but, where the cold hangs on, stopping up the nostrils, irri- tating the throat or there is persistent annoying cough, it is evident that the system for some reason is unable to throw off tne disease germs which cause the trouble; [ little assistance is neces- sary. and this is best given by the use of some harmless germ destroying anti septic like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which are also palatable and equally sd for children and adults
 Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cents full size package, higher in price than trochos and cheap cough syrups, but Stu arts Catarrh Tablets contain antiseptic properties which actually cure colds, ca tarrh and throat and lung troubles while 1t is notorious fact that cough drops and cough syrups are largely composed of opium, cocaine and similar drugs that have no curative power
 It is also true that many popular liquid medicines and tonics for catarrh depend upon the alcohol they contain which give simply a temporary stimulation of no real benefit for any trouble, catarrhal or OfherWise

FIRE IN WARRIOR
 CAUSES BIG LOSS
THREE STORES AND AS MANY LODGES DESTROYED AT ESTl- MATED LOSS OF $25, ,ooo-ONE MAN IS INJURED.

Warrior, January 6.-(Special.)- Fire which started in the general merchandise store of J. B. Albritton & Co.,, destroyed three stores and three lodge rooms caus- ing loss of 5000 with about s600O in- surance. The losses are as follows:

 White Shield lodge, loss $500; no insur- Rnce.
 The fire started last night at o'clock In the garret of the general store of J. B.. Albritton x Co.,, how is not known. With the greatest rapidity, due partly to the fact that Warrior has no fire department and that all the water was gotten from barrels and wells, the fire consumed the building and spread to the store of J. L.. Brake & Co., In a short while this was In ashes and the store of II. F. Bradford, lnlrly Feet aWdy, SOO11 met d llhe late. The large furnishing store of c. B. Reed & Co.,, adjoining the store of H. F. Brad ford, was saved only by the lucky find of five barrels of water.
 The Masonic hall above Brakes store was shared by the Odd Fellows and the White Shield Lodge. The regalia of all these societies was entirely lost with the exception of the Masonic records.
 In scarcely more than one hour the buildings were in ashes.
 The efforts of the citizens to extin- guish the flames, though futile, were most praiseworthy. Clyde Albrittons leg was broken in an attempt to put out the fire and many citizens have bruises 10 show from their efforts last night.

 Being Erected WORK ON POWDERLY ROUTE Birmingham R., L. 6 P Go. Develop ing Suburban System-Two Trol- ley Lines Between Bessemer
 and This City in Spring.
WORK ON POWDERLY ROU UTE

The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company's new Ensley line by the way of the old fair grounds. now known as Fairview, is being literally patron- ized and the business on the old line via Thomas and Pratt City keeps up well. The new route is double tracked with TO- pound rails.
 Fairview Is four miles from Birming- ham and Bessemer Is nine and half miles from Fairview. From the latter point single track has been laid with 7O-pound rails and work on three miles of siding is nearing completion. This will give practically a double track all the way from Birmingham to Bessemer.
 These sidings are between Vinesville and Hawkins Springs.
 Poles for the trolley wires are now be- ing erected.
 The company is laying it's line from Powderly to Bessemer with 60-pound rails. This work will be finished in about two months.
 Manager McClary said yesterday that he expected to be running trolleys to Bes- semer by both routes not later than April.
 By the old dummy schedule trains leave every hour and quarter. By the trolley schedule cars will leave every thirty minutes. Each car will have two trailers. Ten new convertible cars for summer and winter use are being built for the company and they will be deliv- cred within the next few months
 The capacity of the power house has been recently doubled, but the Birming ham Railway, Light and Power com pany's business is increasing so rapidly that plans are being made already for the installation of additional engines.
