 The message came by the Postal Tel egraph service and in reaching Chi. eago it travelled nearly 28.000 miles. It was filed at the New York ofiice and then transmitted by cable to London. From there it was sent across the Eng fish Channel to France. Then 1t found it's way along the Mediterranean cable to the Isthmus of SueE.

RETURNS ARE DELAYED
COUNTY BOARDS ARE SLOW IN
 REP0RTING.
Secretary of State Teiegraphs seven teen Probate Judxes to send votes--Result in eEighth Dis
 trfct is Anneuneed.

owing to the inexplicabie delay with which the election returns are being
 mada and the anxiety of several of ncers-eiect to take up their duties Secretary of State E. R. McDavid last night teiegraphed to the Probate
 Iudres of about seventeen counties to rush in the certificates of election. The certificates of about hfty county aoards of Supervisors have been already received. AThat of Montgom- cry County was not received until yes terday.
 cou,nfssions with the signatures of the proper State officers are being daily sent to those elected November 8. Many county officers have registered com plants with the Secretary of State against the delay of some Probate l Judges in forwarding the results. Several ofiicers-elect have come to l Montgomery to get their commissions I only to wait for the returns from their respective counties which have not been filed.
 The statute regulating the work of the supervisors in every county re- quires them to make out and forward to the Secretary of State the election
 
 the election. Therefore. there will be
 no dereliction of duty on their part
 unless by November IS they shall have failed to send in the returns.
 The election results which. have already been received have been so rapidly listed and checked by the Sec retary of State and his office force that it is thought by next Saturday the State Board, consisting of the Gov ernor. the Attorney General and the Secretary of State. will be ready to de- clare the officers elected. This is an- ticiuated. of course, if there are no re- turns delayed by the Probate Judges beyond the legal limit of ten days.
 only in the Eighth Congressional District is 1t known officially what vote was cast for congressmen. Com plete returns from the counties of Col bert. Jackson, Lauderdale. Lawrence, Limestone, Madison and Morgan. com posing the district. have been received and added together. They show that Congressman William Richardson re- cefved a total of s.S9S votes against 1, ,s4s for J. W. Roberts, the Populistic Republican candidate. An unusual Democratic wave swept Limestone County, giving Congressman Richard son 1,12s votes while Mir. Roberts failed to poll 8 single vote.
 The other counties voted as follows: The first being the figures of the Democratic candidate: Colbert. 9S4- 154; Jackson, f.706-5SS: Lauderdale. 1,334-275; Lawrence,l 962-373; Madison, 2,1s1-15o; Morgan, 1,bo5-3o6.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it im ir
 Preseryin& Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char. coal is the safest and most efFicient disinfectant and purifier in nature. hut few realize it's value when taken int,
 the human system for the same cleans | ing purpose.
 Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; 1t is not q drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in
 the stomach and intestines and carries
 them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and in- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in ona form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: thev are composed of the finest Powdered Willow Charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting Iozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenRes win soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex- Ion, sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of it iss that no possibIe harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benedt
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all natfeuts suffering from gas in stornach and boweJa. and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath. mouth ana throat: also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although In some sense a patent preparations yet I be- lieve get more and better charcoal in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges than ln any of the ordinary charcoal tablets

A FIRE DOWN TOWN.
Serious Blaze in Hotel Building Was
 Extinguiahed.

Prompt work by the Montgomery Fire Department at 9:15 o'clock yester- day averted a serious fire in the old Metropolitan Hotel building at the cor ner of Dexter Avenue and Perry
 The Are originated in a room on the third floor of the building where a car load of chairs owned by the Martin Graves Furniture Company were stor- ed. A clerk went into the room with a lighted candle which he dropped. The chairs were wrapped In light paper and in a moment the chairs and paper burst into flames.
 A telephone alarm brought the flre- men to the place and although the flames were under good headway the material was extinguished by the use of chemicals.
 At the ofice of the furniture com pany 1t was said that a number of the chairs were burned and charred. The loss was estimated at $200 which is covered by insurance.
 While en route to the fire an axle of the engine operated by the Five Points Company broke at Court Square and the engine was temporarily put out of action.

Williams went to the scene and made an investigation. A postmortem ex- animation by a surgeon disclosed the fact that Perryman had died of con- cussion of the brain.

auishes his hold on the office. He en- joys the reputation of an efficient of ficer and 1t is known that he has al- ways been fascinated with the wori incident to the Sheriff's office. But he has always defined his position on mo- nopolies of public trusts. His friends did not doubt his promise that never would he permit, if it was within his power. two such important officers as Sheriff and Probate Judge of one coun- ty to lie within single family.
 While friends and supporters of Sheriff Black say they would not fear any demoralization of the public in- terests of Geneva County by. the two offices being in his family they express admiration for him on account of his sacrifice. The action of Sheriff Black sets precedent. according to the mem- ories of Capitol officials.
