John Simpson, cashier of the Snow-Tul- lis Hardware company of Montgomery has left for parts unknown, leaving a shortage in his accounts of about s250O
 The disappearance of Simpson was a great surprise to all who knew him. He was thought to be young man of extra ordinary good habits. However, 1t is stated that during the big boom in the price of cotton in the fall months that Simpson invested s100 in futures and by successfully working the pyramid system he was enabled to draw down about s5OO0 about six weeks ago.
 He is said to have placed this money in a bank and his friends were congratulat- ing him upon both his luck and judgment.
 But the desire to keep up the specula- ton returned. More futures were bought. 1t Is said and this time the market went wrong. The five thousand won was lost and in rash attempt to again win. the young man is accused of having taken about $25oo from the vaults of his em- ployers.

 One old gentleman said that he believed in Munyon and in Munyon's Remedy that Munyon's Rheumatism Cure had cured him of a chronic case of Rheuma- fism that afflicted him for more than fif- teen years.
 Another gentleman said if this remedy is as good as his Kidney Cure it should find it's way into every house in Birming- ham. as Munyon's Kidney Cure has cured him of a bad case of Kidney ailment.
 The professor would possibly have felt a little abashed could he have heard the warm praises that a welrdressed lady showered upon his family remedies which she said she kept continually in the house.
 The crowd was so great at times that the attendant was unable to hanu out the hottles fast enough and one or two by islanders were called in to aid him.

 There being no excess of ozone in the atmosphere which he took into his lungs there could not be any abnormal oxyda- ton in his arteries as in the case of Jeanne Uhl.
 His face was youthful in contour, his skin smooth and he did not appear to be within three years of his actual age. His ailment was diagnosed as acute nephri- tis-infammation of the kidneys.
 Skilful Medical Attention.
 He received the most skillful medical attention and careful nursing, but sank gradually to death. An autopsy was per formed in the presence of three of the hospital staff. The kidneys were exam ined and the doctors were amazed to find them shriveled and contracted just as those of a man at 80 years.
 I hen the dissectors found an enlarged liver that belonged to an octogenarian and not to boy.
 Further exploration found heart
  Exhibited to a skilled anatomist with its history concealed 1t would be pronounced to be the heart of man at least 75 years old accustomed all his life to hard work.
 Hardening of Arteries.
 Nature presented another and a stran- ger abnormality in the hardening of the arteries. These pipes had lost their f1ex- ibility. The arterial stream had flowed xxt-l... .f old age while the walls had thickened and become almost brittle.

ROADS
Correspondent Discusses Pro-
posed Portland Motor
Line

Ed. journal: While railroads are
fine things, and we need plenty of
them, yet, it is a source of apprehen.
sion to the conservatives, when they
are agitated under conditions which
will build up one town by tearing
, down another. This proposed line tc
Portland, which is to run in so min,
utes at so cent ticket rate, can be
made to work great damage to Salem
interests. While so minute trip will
very likely not be put into effect, yet
trip consuming an hour and a quar-
ter or even an hour and a half, one
way, will give us all temptation
to slide" down to Portland, and back
before dinner, and get what we want.
1t will raise Cain with business in
many ways. 1t will be a fine thing
one way, but our merchants may suf.
fer from this fine acquisition. On the
other hand, cf course, we can get
some benefits from 1t. Portland can
neither sleep nor eat her visitors
during the fair so we can get our
money which we lose in a business
way, out of the roomers which will
be obliged to come to Salem.
l understand on the quiet that
Portland, seeing that this road might
work a hardship to Salem, has taken
some steps to stop its construction,
for fear some one might want to take
the state house down with them some
morning before the janitor got up.
Portland seems to be alive to the fact
that there are some individuals who
would like to have the Capital City
moved down there But speaking of
dogs, and railroads, dt would not be
bad idea to look into the effects
sure to follow such a convenience as
so minute and 80 cent trip to Port
land. The railroad out of the Falls
City district will only run about 20
miles an hour, but there is no chance
for Salem to lose on 1t. Better. give
this road our first boost, because we
might need her to Offset the loss ac-
cruing to Salem from our high speed
