My Dear Annf Kate:
 I must tell you the good news. Right after receiving your letter, the day before New Years started in with new resolu- tions on the first of the year. I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce, at Buffalo, N. Y., as you requested me to do. I gave him all my symptoms, which were that I was tired so tired-all the time and did not care to go anywhere, depressed and sad and all ambition gone, backache and draggedout feeling, could not sleep, limbs feeling sore and aching I followed the doctors advice, which he went to considerable pains to make plain to me-to rest every day-a nap after lunch-complete relaxation-cultivate repose of mind, try not to worry, get as much outdoor air as possible, and prac- tice long, deep breathing, expanding the lungs Then for a uterine tonic, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, coupled with wash he told me of I must say that after follow ing his advice for four months I feel per fectly cured and like a new woman.
 Yours afectionally, JEWEL
 Hon. l. l. Thaxton, Deputy Sheriff Court sThis is to certify that have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Golden Medical Dis ,covery in my family for two or three years and have received great deal of benefit from these medicines.

 It is also a fact that Gen. William c. Oates of Montgomery, former governor and congressman, will likely get into the fight for any kind of vacancy in the na- tional upper house. He is well and favor ably known as an aspirant for the honors.
 
 Now that the question has been raised, it may not prove tiresome to look some what into the histories and experiences of the men thus brought to public atten- tion. Colonel Bankhead began public ser vice many years ago IS state penitentiary warden and has represented the Sixth district in congress for sixteen years. Dur inging one of the terms of MT. Cleveland he was chairman of the appropriations committee of the house, and is now the democratic member of highest rank on the house rivers and harbors committee.
 MT Knox had been little before the po- litical public until he was chosen to pre- side over the recent constitutional con yention His selection to this post of honor. however, was regarded as an aid to his wel-known senatorial ambition.
 Col Richard II. Clarke served the First district at one time in congress and was an ardent gold standard man during the tense money issue times of 1896 and 1900 He supported Palmer and Buckner the gold democrats, and made many enemies among the strict party men or the state democracy. He was also q candidate Tor the democratic nomination for governor once.
 Colonel Russell is one of the old time stick o-the -party-all-the-time kind Of democrats. Though holding high position with a big railroad corporation, he rode on a front seat every time MT. Bryan drovs the democratic band wagon. and has been for years a hard working reg ular, willing to spend or be spent Tor democracy. He is at present vice presi- dent and chief executive officer of the Mobile and Ohio railroad.

SYNOD MEETS IN ANN1STON.
Body Will Further Consider Plans fol
 SynodicaI College.

Anniston, October 22-(special.) )-The Synod of Alabama will meet in the First Presbyterian church in this city on Mo- vember 15. and preparations are now un- der way for the entertainment of the many who will attend that important meeting. MT. George E. Cater, chairman of the committee on entertainment is en- deavoring now to determine where to place the delegates when they arrive. Those who attend the sessions of the synod will be entertained in the homes Of the people of Anniston, and there Will doubtless be no difficulty in placing them all comfortably.
 This will be one of the most important meetings of the synod of Alabama held in years. Anniston is especially interest ed in it for several reasons. One is that that synod is to meet in this city; an- other is that the final steps for the build ing of the hig synodical college here will be taken a. this session; and the same general interest in the actions Of the synod is felt here. It is likely that there will be 300 or more visitors in the clty to attend the sessions of the synod.

ON1IOMER1, OclODer Zz.-(Spe-
 M ciaL)-Has there been an agree ment entered into to defeat Lieu tenant Governor Cunningham for the democratic nomination in 1906? If not is suyh an arrangement seriously contem- plated?
 The ability to answer these questions correctly would give any man in Alabama a vary attentive hearing if he decided to make public the details. There is a well defined rumor that such agreement does exist, or is in process of formation, and that two or three of the leading men of the state have knowledge of It. The re- puted reasons for such understanding are said to lie in the possibility of one or more United States senatorial vacancies and the ambition of at least two favorite sons of Alabama to be called upon to assume the duties thereof.
 The fact that Acting Governor Cum ningham is quite friendly to Congress- man John II. Bankhead, who is known to desire pleace in the senate, gives the impression that In case of vacancy he would appoint the "Gentleman from the Sixth" which possible action Is just what the other gentlemen with like ambi- lions desire to head off.
 Rumors may be given for what they are worth, and are not supposed to possess always the dignity of positive knowledge. This is preliminary to the statement that

District Court.

Monday, June 20th, 1903, the district court for the First Judicial District of Arizona in and for the County of Santa Cruz, convened at Nogales, Hon. George R. Davis. district judge, presiding.
 Monday morning upon calling the grand jury, as published in TIE OASIS 6 week ago, the Court laid before that body the fact that there had been small pox in the jail, and there might be danger of contagion (although the jail had been thoroughly disinfected and the patient removed) by bringing into the court room prisoners who had been exposed. After some discus sion a proposition was presented to put to vote of the grand jury the question of discharging that body and postponement of the criminal cases to later date. The vote taken showed twelve grand jurors opposed to postponement and three favoring. The Court, however, feel ing caution the better course, dis charged the grand jury and excused witnesses in criminal cases until August 22d, when a special term of court will convene.
 It appearing Wednesday that the
  civil cases on the calendar would be tried without juries the regular ve- hire of trial jurors was discharged.
 Trials of civil cases have occupied the attention of the court the entire week, and will continue to do so a portion of the next.
 To meet a public demand for full reports in the International Bank cases TIE OASIS is this week com pelled to defer publication of the usual report of the proceedings, in court.

FAILED TO IDENTIFY
PAWN BROKER DIDN'T RECOGNIZE
 NAN PATTERSON.
Rand Charged That Morgan Smith and Defendants Counsel Were CO-COnspiratOrs in Fa-
 nous Case.

New York. Dec. 13.--A dramatic sit uation developed today in the criminal bI anch of the Supreme Court when Nan Patterson on trial before Justice Yer non NJ Davis for the murder of Caesar Young, stood up in the court room and faced Pawnbroker Myman Stern, the witness who sold the revolver with which Young was killed.
 Stern was unable to identify the prisoner as the woman who accompa- nied the man to whom he sold the re- volver. He was not certain whether this man had a smooth face or wore a moustache. He was not asked to identify the photograph of J. Morgan Smith.
 MT. Rand inofrmed the court that the theory of the prosecution Is that Smith and his wife are co-conspirators against Young. although they had not planned to kill him. The prosecutor further said he was prepared to prove that Smith and his wife with the active connivance of the defendants father and also with the connivance of the de- fendants lawyer. had fled to parts un- known.
 When I say the defendants coun- sell. continued MT. Rand. T do not mean you, MT. Levy"
 Justice Davis reserved decision on the question raised
