 TWO ASSAILANTS
MEN WHO ATTACKED R. L. OLIVE AT SELMA ARE CAUGHT IN A CHEAP LODGING HoUsE-BoTH PARTLY CONFESS.

Selma, October 16.-(Special) = This morning about o'clock two men, Gib- son and Buckingham, were arrested at cheap lodging house in East Selma by Captain of Police Miller. The officer had worked several hours tracirg these men from saloon to saloon as the assailants of R. l.. Olive, who was last night beaten and shot near the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans railroad depot
 The officer took the men by surprise walking in the room where they had gone for the night. AS soon as the offi- cer entered the room he seized 1e- volver which lay -n the table and com manded one cf the men who had net re- tired to surrender.

BOTH PARTIES NAME
 SAME CANDIDATES
REPUBLICAN, AND PoPULlsT COM MlTTEES HAVE MEETING AT eAosDEN TO CHOOSE TWO COM MlSSloNERS

Gadsden, October 16.-(Special.)-The re- publican campaign committee of Etowah county held a very important meeting in this city today and nominated D. w. SturSie for commissioner from the Sec ond district and J. B. Washburn from the Fourth district Immediately after wards the populist executive committee met and placed the same men in nomina- tion for the same offices, and these names were at once filed in the probate office to be printed upon the official ballot
 This action was taken by the republi- cans-popuists by reason of the fact that there is some confusion on the question as to whether under the new constitution the present commissioners can hold over. Under the old constitution the commis- sioners were elected, for four years and they hold over one election. Messrs. Sturkie and Washburn were elected two years ago and have two more years of official life under the old constitution, but some claim that they have to be elected next month, hence their nomina- ton.
 So far the democrats have taken no ae- ton, and 1t is not known whether they will put out two candidates or not. The election in this county is the quietest ever known. There is absolutely no mud singing and the candidates on both sides are making a quiet campaign for the voters and something will be doing on the day of election
 In the Seventh district prominent speak CTS are in the field making speeches for Congressman Burnett. There is no cause for fear, but the genial congressman is taking nothing for granted and is mak' ing a systematic campaign.

Babq Costs Foo Much

When the price paid is the mothers health and happiness. The father doesn't realize as he romps with the child what years of wifely suffering must be set against the baby's laughter. Chronic invalidism is high price to pay for the painful joy of maternity, yet it is at such cost that many woman becomes a mother Such price is too much because it is more than nature asks.

 "Our permanent military establishment or regular army must be small" said Assistant Secretary of War Oliver to- day. land n the event of war with one or more of the first-class powers Of the world we must depend very largely upon the militia and the volunteers for our fighting force. With the modern long range small arm 1t Is all important that the soldiers should know how to shoot and to hit what they shoot at. To those who are accustomed to the use of ire arms we believe one thing is evident be- yond all question, and that is, that a high degree of skill in rife and revolver shooting and the confidence which a knowledge of this skill gives, will make timid man brave, and brave man more courageous"
 Acting Secretary of War Oliver is the president of the national board, and among the members are Gen. Bird w. Spencer of New Jersey, Maj. Gen. Charles F. Roe of New York. Gen.
