STATIONERY FOR REGISTRARS. Boards Provided With Material to Begin Work.

The stationery required by the coun- ty Boards of Registrars in the various counties of the State has been sent out by Chief Clerk A. c. Sexton of the Secretary of States office. This has been done in order that the county registrars may have time to prepare themselves for the registration of vot- CTS by July 1.
 The general election bill passed by the last Legislature. 1t will be recalled. provided that the registration of vot- CTS under the permanent plan should begin July 1. On that day the regis tration books of every county in the State will be thrown open, This will be the first opportunity that the voters will have of securing registration since December, 1902.
 A large lot of stationery for the registration is required and 1t has al- ready gone forward. The Governor, 1t will be recalled. several weeks ago ap- pointed the County Boards of Regis trars.
 With the stationery Mir. Sexton sent an eight page pamphlet containing the qualifications for voters. It is con- else collection of the requirements for electors provided by the general cleo tion bill of the last Legislature, which is entitled "an act to further regulate elections in Alabama"

A TRUE BOWEL
 CLEANSER.
\ Remedy That Puriaes the Bowels Mildly, Strengthens the Bowel Channels and Promotes
 Regularity.
A General System Tonic.

By no means the least of the valuable properties of Prickly Ash Bitters is its admirable effect in the bowels. Any active cathartic will empty the bowels, but it takes more than a mere cathartic to cure them. What is needed is tonic, a restorative; one that will strengthen the bowel channels and prevent the re- turn of constipated conditions. Prickly Ash Bitters contains these desirable qualities to remarkable degree. It is mild laxative that moves the bowels comfortably, the drastic bowel drenching and paralizing effect of strong cathartics being noticeably absent. It not only empties the bowels comfortably, but it regulates the bile-the liquid which moistens the inner lining of the bowels and makes it possible for the waste products of the body to pass through, and finally, it relieves those conditions produced by imperfect digestion which fills the stomach and bowels with gas and fermenting matter. Prickly Ash Bitters is in short handy household medicine and should be kept in every home. There are constantly occurring in every family little ailments which are easily checked if given attention but which prove serious if neglected and it is in correcting these troubles that Prickly Ash Bitters has established its claim to be family medicine" It relieves women of sick headache, sour stomach, dizziness and promotes regu- larity in the monthly periods. Children with worms, those who are sickly, rest less and irritable, who eat too much candy or sweet stuff, who complain of collie or disturbance in the bowels, will immediately improve and grow strong, rosy and cheerful under it's cleansing and invigorating influence.

Had Lived in This City
 72 Years. AN HONORABLE CAREER Venerable Citizen Survived by Large Family. For Great Many Years He Was Prominent Factor in the Cot ton Business-To Be
 Buried This After
 noon.

William c. Ray. ST., the oldest male resident of Montgomery County and one of Montgomery's best citizens, passed away quietly at an infirmary yesterday afternoon after a useful life covering s7 years.
 A remarkable life was that of the pat riarch, who breathed his last yesterday. Prominent in business and the affairs of the community of which he grew to be more than a component part. MT. Ray was never the subject of word of re- proach. In his family and in his im- mediate nelghborhood, he was universal ly loved and respected. His venerable wife, who survives him after married ''He always tried to keep the Golden Rule," and to that characteristic his friends ascribe his worldly success.
 The death of MT. Ray was not unex- pected. For over year, he was missed from his accustomed place among the heecy bales of cotton on Court Square and the beginning of the end of a use- ful life had arrived. He was never sick. but the vital machinery was worn after service of nearly a century and the venerable gentleman recognized that his death was fast approaching. He did not fear death. His reconciliation for the end was perIect All the ueIails ot HIS funeral were arranged by him and his only regret was that he did not live to be 100 years old.
 Ended in Perfect Peace.
 Two weeks ago his condition became desperate. He had previously been talk en from his home on South Court Street to an inflrmary, where an operation was performed. He then began to slowly sink. With his large family constantly at his side, his last days were spent in perfect peace. The end came yesterday afternoon at o'clock.

THE MICROSCOPE
Proves That Parasites Cause Hair
 Loss,

Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp and hair are caused by parasitic germs. The importance of this dis covery by Professor Unna. of the Char ity Hospital, Hamburg. Germany. can not be overestimated. It explains why ordinary hair preparations, even of the most expensive character fail to cure dandruff; because they do not, and they can not, kill the dandruff germ. The only hair preparation in the world that positively destroys the dandruff parasites that burrow up the scalp in- to scales called scurf or dandruff, Is Newbro's Herpicide. In addition to its destroying the dandruY germ, Herpicide is a delightful hair dressing. Sold by leading druggists. Send 10c in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co, De- troit, Mich. E. c. Fowler.

DETERMINED
TO SOLVE BECHTEL MUIR
DER MYSTERY.
new CLUES DISCOVERED
Was Probably Killed in a
Resort.

Allentown, Pa, Feb. lit Is stated
tonight that Capt James l.. Schaadt
has practically abandoned his efforts
to solve the Mabel Bechtel murder
mystery and that he will leave this
week for Jamaica to spend a month
there. The search for the murderer
will, however, be continued by the
city police department which has
shown more signs of activity during
the past "a hours than it has mani
tested for more than two months pre-
viously.
New and important clues have been
discovered, it is said, but unlike Cap
tain Schaadt, the police refuse to
speak of the developments that they
have unearthed. One of them how
ever, said: 1--WE are simply threshing
over some of the old clues with the
result that we are making surprising
discoveries and | can safely predict
that if our calculations hold out, the
public will know the details of Mabel
Bechtels death within the next two
weeks"
1t is stated that the police are grad
ually being won over to the theory
that Mabel Bechtel was killed at a
resort by jealously enraged lover
and that important evidence to
strengthen this belief has been dis
closed. Some of the officers now at
work on the case have made practical
experiments and have discovered that
1t is possible to drive up to the Bech-
tel house, through the back alley at
almost any hour of the day or night
without danger of detection and the
plausibilty of the theory that the girl
was fatally wounded at resort and
was tIken home in a cab is gaining
strength among the local detectives
who heretofore refused to consider
any other theory than the one that
the young woman was killed in her
home by her brother Tom, who COM
mitted suicide.
I'VE are determined to get at the
TRUTH" said one of the officers to-
night. "if for no other purpose than
to satisfy the public mind"

HER RELEASE IS DENIED

London, Feb. There Is no appar.
ent clearing up of the mystery sur.
rounding the whereabouts of Mrs
Florence Maybrick. reported released
from the prison where she has been
confined for years for the murder of
her husband The prison officials pos
itively decline to discuss the matter
or to disclose the whereabouts of the
institution to which rumor declares
the American prisoner has been trans
ferred pending her actual release from
custody on either ticket of leave or
free pardon.
It Is reported that the Baroness e.
DeRoque, Mrs. Maybrick's mother is
now at Rouen. If this Is so, 1t would
effectively dispose of the rumor that
she and her daughter are passengers
on the White Star liner Oceanic,
which sailed from Liverpool last We'd
nesday.
NOT RELEASED.
London, Feb 2.-The Express this
morning states that there is no truth
in the story of Mrs. Maybrick's re-
lease from prison. II adds that the
only foundation that exists for 1t is
that Mrs. Maybrick was removed from
Aylesbury prison proper. to the in.
firmary because of continued III
health.
