 The prisoners were supplied with acid to soften the bars of the cage in which they were confined,- and except for the timely discovery made by Jailer Babcock, would doubtless have experienced little difficulty in, severing the bars It is thought the saws and the acid were pur- chased in Birmingham by friends of the men confined.

Advertlssr Bu:: eau,

~ k~l selma, Jan. Z1.
 The chanber of Commerce this after noon pHsskd resolutions expressing the bodys his&pproval of the ninth section of the reSenue bill proposed by the Gov ernor. the Attorney General and the Au- President Atkins presided with Secre- tary Stewart at the desk. Tho section condemned provided that the State shall collect a privilege tax of 10 cents on each S100 or fractional part thereof on all notes. mortgages. bonds or other instruments representing debts except open accounts for merchandise or notes for tho rent of real or personal property. The section provides further that the capital stock of public and private banks and other corporations shall not he exempted from taxation. fsh
 The resolutions set forth that the one principal feature of the bill, the taxation of Icap1taI is defeated. as the lender will require the borrower to stamp the paper and the burden will thus fall upon the poor rather than upon the capitalist. The use of the stamps will, furthermore, say the resolutions. be a nuisance in the finan- cial transactions of all citizens.
 The use of the war revenue stamps by the United States Government and their discontinuance at the earliest possible me
 
 out that the State of Alabama has no war tp Justify the use of the stamps. and that fha report of the State Treasurer showed ths States finances to be in better condi- tidn than in previous years.
 It was, therefore, resolved that We, as business men of Selma. in public meet ing assembled. do most respectfully de- esaim the necessity of such taxation as is embodied in Section g." and 1t was further resolved that a copy of the preamble and resolutions be sent to the Senator and the Representatives of Dallas County, who were petitioned fo use all fair and hon. orable means to have the section stricken from said bill.'
 The meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce was remarkable for It's enthusl- asm. There is in Selma almost universal opposition to the ninth section of the proposed revenue bill. and every effort will be made by business men of this city to have it removed from the bill.
 President Atkins was authorized to ap- point committee of five to represent Selma at the presentation of the silver service to the battleship Alabama by the people of the State.

Quiet Campaign.

The campaign for municipal officers continues to be without incident John Shannahan has announced himself as a candidate for the position of Street Su- perintendent but this is scarcely an inci- dent for Uncle John will have no oppo- sition. He has held the, position for many years and Is likely to hold it as many more.
 The fact that the primary will not be held for over a month accounts for the quietude prevailing in political circles. The election Is talked of in a general way but nearly all prospective candi- dates are waiting patiently to size up op- position

TOOK A RAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment in a Res
 taurant.

An advertising agent representing a prominent New York magazine, while on recent Western trip. was dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
 While waiting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the ad- Vertisement of a we'll known dyspepsia preparation, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets; as he himself was a regular user of the tablets he began speculating as to how many of the other travelling men in the ching room were also friends of the pop ulaF remedy for indigestion.
 He says: "I counted twenty-three men at the tables and In the hotel office took the trouble to interview them and was surprised to learn that nine of the twen- ty-three made q practise of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
 One of them told me he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets had been entirely free from indlges- tion, but he continued their use. espe- cially while travelling. on account of ir- regularity in meals and because. like all trave!ing men, he was often obliged to eat what he could get and not always what he wanted.
 Another who looked the picture of health. said he never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward because he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased. without fear of a sleepless night or any other trouble.
 Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, causing pres sure on heart and lungs. shortness of breath ard distress in chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly.
 Another claimed that Stuarts Dyspcp- sia Tablets was the only safe remedy he had ever found for sour. stomach and acidity; he had formerly used common soda to relieve the trouble. but the tablets were much better and safer to use.
 After smoking. drinking or other ex- cesses which weaken the digestive organs. nothing restores the stomach to a healthy. wholesome condition so effectually as Stuart's Tablets.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives. pepsin. diastase. which every weak stomach lacks. as well as nux. hydrastin and yellow parilla. and can be safely relied upon as a radical cure. fo- every form of poor digestion. Sold by druggists everywhere

Croup.

The peculiar cough which indicates croup is usually well known to the moth CTS of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment of it, and for this purpose no medicine has received more universal approval than Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable time in experimenting with un- tried remedies. no matter how highly they may be recommended, but give this medi- cine as directed and all symptoms of croup will quickly disappear.
