OPERA TONS A FAD Public Gradually Awakens to the
 Fact

The latest fad in operations has been the appendicitis fad; before that the fad for rectal operations (piles, etc) held sway. Hundreds of patients were fright ened and hurried into hospitals, operated upon and robbed of their last dollar, when the trouble was a simple case of hemor- rhoids or piles only, easily cured at home with a simple remedy costing but fifty cents a box
 "Isprocured one fifty cent box of Pyra- mid Pile Cure of my druggist. with the intention of buying larger box later. but was happily surprised when found that was cured, and still have six pyramids left out of the first and only box. I have not had the least sign of piles since used this one box, which has been about two months: previous to using Pyramid Pile Cure I had the worst kind of bleed ing and protruding piles for over thirty one years, and no one knows, except those who have had piles, the pain and misery 1 suffered. =
 q am a poor man, but have often said I would give a fortune, if I had 1t, to he cured of the piles, and now l have been cured for fifty cents. I should be very ungrateful If I did not thank you and give you every privilege to use my name so many who suffer as I did. J. A. Weismiller. HOO Bladensburg Road, Wash ington, DH c.

FORGOT TRAIN ORDERS
CAUSE OF HEAD-oN COLLISION
 NEAR YORK.
Engineer vining and His Negro Fireman, billiard Moon, Met In- stant Death and Two Other
 Negroes Are Killed.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Feb. 9.
 Latest advices from the scene of the disastrous wreck on the Alabama Great Southern Railway near York confirm The Advertisers report of this morning. but detailed information demonstrates that the accident was even more appalling than earlier messages indicated. Besides Engineer c. w. Vining and his negro fireman, billiard Moon, the negro fireman on the Alabama Great Southern train and a negro tramp were killed. Of the several persons. injured none is expected to die. Both locomotives and over dozen cars were damaged.
 It is said the wreck occurred because Engineer McCombs of the Alabama Great Southern freight train ''overlooked' the Southern passenger train. The freight which was bound out of Meridian for Birmingham was to meet a south-going freight at York but, according to re- ports here was to await the Southern passenger south of York. But the pas senger was overlooked" and the two trains met on a curve one mile and a

The ordinance was recommitted F An ordinance introduced by MT. Berry was passed requiring railway compan'i s to clear their crossings for the passage of ambulanees fire apparatus and funeral processions. It was pointed out that :n at least two of these cases there was oc- casionally a need of haste.
 The ordinance drafted to regulate the slaughter of animals and. the sale of perIshable food products was not put up- on its passage, its consideration being postponed until next month.
 The joy of the session came with the introduction of several ordinances m3k- ing 1t a misdemeanOr for any person 70 allow COWS or other live stock to roam upon the streets of Selma and the still more amusing ordinances proposed to make 1t similar offense for owners of chickens and turkeys, geese or ducks to allow their feathered animals to be at large.

Bridges for Mulberry Creek.

The Court of County Revenues to-day awarded the contract for the construc- tion of two steel bridges over Mulberry creek. one to be located at Plantersville and the other at Jones' switch. The bridges will cost $4,0O0, of which Autauga county will pay $1,L0O, and they will pc completed by April 1.
 The construction of bridge over Null berry creek which is a large stream and divides Dallas from Autauga county, has been discussed for many years. The need of 1t was admitted by all but the matter never came to an issue because 1t could not be decided which parts of the coun- ty should be the beneiciaries of this public work. The Dallasians in the northern end of the county wished the bridge to be located at Plantc -sville, and the South Siders wanted 1t at a point nearer them. The county commissioners have split the difference by doubling the bridges.
 The contract for the work was let unis morning to the Chattanooga Bridge Com pany, which will build both bridges for S4,000 They are to be made of steel. The main spans are to De 80 feet long. The contract requires that they shall be com- pleted by May l. but 1t Is expected they will be ready for use on April 1.
 According to the agreement between the Dallas Commissioners and the Autauga Commissioners. this county will pay $3,OOJ and Autauga $1, 900.
 The construction of the bridges will open to Selma a large and prosperous ter ritory of trade that Selma merchants have reached with difficulty because that section was cut off from this county by Mulberry Creek, which frequently during the year makes traffic on the highways impossible. In the future, however, 1t will be possible to traverse both counties without trouble.
