 Friction With Directors,

Reynolds as active, salaried vice-president of the institution. W. IT. Hubbard. Cashier of the Fourth National Bank said that the resigna tion of Mir. .Berney as president had been ac- cepted by the Board with the utmost Ie- luctance. He did not indicate when the Board would meet to elect a President Tn the meantime MT. Reynolds, the new ly elected vice-president. occupies the executive office of the bank.

 To this expression ar. Platt took ex ception as unworthy.
 Senator Platt spoke briefly of the doc. Urine of international eminent domain. T but said the phrase was a misnomer, as there was no question of domain involved But" he added, there is reason foE saying that if the people owning the strip Of land across which the world has said there should be an interoceanic canal hedge 1t about with difficulties, strike for more money and hold up negotiations the United States. if the canal cannot be built in any other way. will build if With a strong arm and the message of the President was entirely justified on that point
 Speaking of the Presidents recognition of the new republic. Mir. Platt said:
 The act stands out as that of a brave and fearless man-as that of a man who Is neither rash or impetuous. He did inc right thing at the right time, the thing which will insure the building of the canal. which has long been delayed
 With this MT. Platt closed. and Mir. Tillman was recognized to read the Os- tend manifesto. and the comment made on 1t by. the Republican platform of 1856. He contended that the policy of the present duIllnlsuatIoH was that might makes right It is. he said. "the doctrine of the wolf in Aesop's fable that whether the stream runs up or down, I am above you and I want you for supper"
 He declared our course in Panama to he simply greedy and dirty"
 Mir. Teller spoke in reply to Mir. Platt's reference to the criticism of the PresI- dent. and said he CTeller) had not reach ed the point that the king can do wrong" As for himself. he was going to vote against the treaty because it hs6 been negotiated with a combination oS men who had no right to make 1t. IT +bc treaty should be ratified he would sc- cept it as the law of the land. but uni, that was done. he would exercise bIs right as Senator to oppose it even thnngb he hereby should win executive disfav0,. He did not doubt the right of the Prss;' dent to recognize the independenca nS Panama. but if he did not exercise i,,s. discrimination. he was subject to cTitis cisn.
 MT. Teller said that no criticism b,d been made of the sending of our warsh,nI to Panama. but the criticism had been 5,. rected at the Presidents utterances to encouragement of the Panama revolt

Stands Ready to Make Improvements. Mayor and Fire Committee Author ized to Improve Fire Fighting Equipment if Guaran-
 tesd Rates Will Be
 Lowered.

If the Southeastern Tariff Association will give assurances satisfactory to the Mayor and Fire Committee of the City Council of Montgomery that it will give the city of Montgomery a first class rate if certain Improvements are made in the equipment of the Montgomery Fire De- partment, the City Council is pledged to make the improvements as soon. as possi- ble.
 ant question which has excited the in- terest of the business men of the city. was adopted by the Council at it's special meeting last night.
 The first resolution. binds the City Coun- cil to make the necessary Improvements in the fire department if the Tariff Asso- citation, agrees in writing to grade Mont- gomery as a first class city from an in- surance standpoint.

They Actually
 Do the Work.
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di-
 gested-Some Stomachs Must Have Help.

Food taken into the Stomach which from the nature of the foods or the condl- tion of the stomach. Is not digested, is worse il an no food at all. This is a true statement as far as it goes and great many dyspeptics go only this far with their reasoning. They argue with them selves that because their stomachs do not do the work given them, they must be given less work; in other words they must 1e starved. It would be just as sen sible for business man who Is unable to do all his own work to cut down his business to hls own capacity as it Is for a man to starve himself to relieve his stomach. The sensible business man em ploys help and goes forward with his busi- ness. Llkewie the sensible dyspetlc will employ help for his stomach and give his I ody pro per nourishment.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually d. the work assigned to them. They relieve weak and overburdened stomachs of q great portion of digestive action. Theil component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions ot the stomach and they simply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as a good, strong, healthy stomach would do it.
 On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets are perfectly natural in their action and effects. They do not cause any un- natural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels. They themselves di- gest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment contained in what is eaten and carry out Natures plans for the sustenance and maintenance of the body.
 How much more sensible is this method than that employed by many sufferers from weak stomachs By this means the body and brain get all the good, nutritious food they need and the man is properly nourished and equipped to carry on his work and perform his duties. He could not possibly be in proper working condl- tion by starving himself or employinR some new fangled, insufficient food thai does not contain enough nutriment for a year old baby. A strong man doing strong work must be properly fed and this applies to the brain as well as the body
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by relieving the stomach of its work enable 1t to re- cuperate and regain it's normal health and strength.Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissue just as she heals and knits the bone of broken limb, which is of course. not used during the process of re- pair.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale Dy all druggists at 50 cents a box and they are the one article that the druggist does not try to sell something in the place or that's just as good. Their unquali- Iieu @ merit and success and the universal uSIilahd .sn Tor them has placed them within '"" feaeh of every one. Wed-fri-su.

THE TALK CONTINUES
PANAMA DISCUSSED IN ALL ITS
 PHASES.
Messrs. Morgan, Platt of Connecticut Tillman and Teller Take a Hand in the Debate in
 the Senate.

Washington, Jan. M.-Mr. Platt (Conn.) concluded his speech on Panama today He defended the course of the President throuShout the Panama revolt and eulo- gized the executive personally as brave and fearless. During the morning hour Mir. Morgan spoke in explanation of h's bill for the annex aiion of Panama to the United States. passing his argument on the ground that the pending canal trea- ty is contemplating that result.
 Mir. Platt defended the President against the charge of committing an act of War or even an act of intervention. denying that his act in connection with the Pana- ma revolt amounted to either.
 Tt is easy" he said. ''to make charges and talk in an excited way. We want specifications and 1t is time for Senators vention to tell us what an act of war is and what act of the President in this case amounts to war or intervention. It is acts of which we are speaking and we are not concerned with what the Presi- dent thinks or wants"
 The charges that the President knew of the revolution and had connived at it placed him in position he ought not to be placed. and in a position which 1t was necessary to deny. said MT. Platt.
 It amounted to national disgrace that such changes were made. The people be- lleVed him honest; he was man who made no concealment of his views and | acts. He was a man who did what he believed to be right The President had met the charges and insinuations in a message to Congress. Had he been Pres | ident. said Mir, Platt. he would not have done it. but the President decided to rest his claim with the American people.
 MT. Platt said that our rights on the isthmus were superior to those of any | treaty.
 MT. Tillman asked if the attitude of the Colombian forces was not in the nature of a "dicker or badger to increase the price of going"
 MT. Platt replied that Mir. Hubbard and
 his forty-two men had nothing to do witf blan troops

THE SHAME OF COLORADO.

All right thinking people condemn
the fiendish dynamite outrage at indie
pendence station in the Colorado min
ing district by which sixteen non-union
badly mangled. However, there is no
proof whatever that this diabOlical
crime was instigated or sanctioned by
the miners union. Yet the morning
paper says that because these nom
union men chose to work the strikers
tried them. convicted them OF crime
and condemned them to DEATH AS
there are many thousand union miners
on strike in Colorado this indictment
would hold them all, individually and
collectively. guilty of murder.
1t would be just as reasonable to
charge the Mine owners Associat ON
and the Citizens Alliance with having
employed some tiend to touch off the
dynamite and murder many innocent
men in order that they might accuse
the miners union Of the plot and thus
make unionism odious throughout the
state and the nation. There is just as
much pIausfbility in this theory as the
other and there is absolutely no proof
that either theory is correct.
one crime does not justify another.
The dynamite outrage is no justifica-
ton for the abrogation of the rights
of American citizenship and the whole
sale deportation Of union men regard
less of their dependent wives and chill
dren, left destitute among heartless
enemies. The pursuit, imprisonment
and deportation Of thousands of Ameri-
can citizens merely because they have
exercised their inalienable right to or
game for self-protection is an I'M
speakable outrage upon American citi-
zenship and it deserves universal con-
demnation. Certainly the miners have
the same right to organize as the mine
owners or other citizens.
Colorado no longer has the republic
can form of government guaranteed to
every state by the constitution, and it
IS the duty of congress to see that the
right form Of government be given the
citizens Of the centennial state.
