In the six day bicycle races the pace tells terribly at the end. Man after man falls out exhausted. The victor wabbles wearily over the line. In the business race it's the same. Man after man drops out exhausted. The success full man is often dyspeptic, unable to enjoy success. When the stomach is diseased there is not enough nutrition assirnilated to sustain the body and re- pair the daily waste of tissues. The result is weakness, tending to collapse.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect assimilation of food by which the body is built up with sound, healthy flesh.

EVANS ANSWERS
 PREACHERS CHARGE
JUDGE AT OPELIKA CRITlCISES
 CONDUCT OF REV. H. w. WlLs LIAMS IN INSTALLING HIS FoR> MFR CHARGE TO GRAND JuRYf

opelika, October 11.--(SpeciaL)-At tha convening of the Lee county circuit court yesterday by Judge A. A. Evans, cau= stie criticism of the conduct of one of tha local preachers was rendered by the judge This was elicited by the action of the Rev. II. w. Williams, pastor of thd Baptist church, who, in sermon fol~ lowing the converting of the court yeaH ago, took occasion to pass upon the charge of Judge Evans severe criticism-
 In the sermon the minister. quoting from a report in the local paper to tha effect that the charge was an able onet said that if it was able charge, hS hoped the Lord would save the people from mediocre charge, or words to thaS effect. The minister evidently based hia crieticism upon the omission Of the judge to mention all the crimes that the grand
 jury might find committed if the conduct
 of the people was held up to the light | of an investigation. In his arraignmene | of the minister Judge Evans said he | could not take the time to dwell upon all | the laws governing the commission of | crimes in Alabama, nor had the grand | jury time to waste in listening to such | charge. The duties of the grand Jury arc too we'll known to all to require detailed and specific charge upon all the things coming within its scope. He said he had
 no feeling towards the minister, as he
 had had plenty of time to cool off in the
 year that had elapsed since that charge,
 If he had been inclined to resent the crit icism at the time. Furthermore. he knew
 of no man more deserving of sympathy
 than he who has washing to do and no soap.
 Judge Evans then proceeded to deliver
 his charge to the new grand jury, mak- ing some parts of it especially impressive as he endeavored to convey to the men
 the solemn responsibilities connected with
 the Investigations they were about to
 make. Referring to the crime of murder he said that there Is no place In this nation where human life seems to be held as so cheap a thing as in Alabama, then proceeded to make a most solemn thing of the crime which takes life so lightly. Turning to the homicides he laid special stress upon this. there had been six homcdes committed in this county with | in the pass year.

Race Riot at Kansas City, kan., 10
Imminent.
Kansas City, April 15.-The race
feeling in Kansas City, Kan, caused
by the killing Of Roy Martin, high
school freshman, by negro named
Gregory, is growing in intensity. Dur
ing the day six negroes, who accompa-
MED Gregory to the Jail on the night
of the murder armed with rifles, were
arrested on the charge of melting
riot. Following the closing of the
school until Monday next, in an effort
to quiet the excitement that it was ex-
pected would follow Martins funeral,
the white pupils asserted with posi-
tiveness that the negroes would never
again be permitted to enter the high
school. Martins friends will, it is g !,
make determined effort on Moncay
to keep all negroes from entering the
building and it is feared a clash may
result.
Gregory was arraigned during the
day and held without bail for trial at
date to be set later

The emperor, who wore the uniform

Makaroffs widow, who sank on her
knees, almost at the feet of her maj
esty, and remained there until the end
of the service. The beautiful cere-
monial Of the Orthodox church left NO

Narrow Margin. l..,

-
Washington, April 15.-When the

once was taken up and further dis
cussed. Mr.. Warnock (O.) spoke in
favor of the bill. The action of the
committee on rules in denying the
right to amend the bill was severely
criticised by Mr.. Williams Qll.). Mr..
Grosvenor CO., said this was a fair,
straightforward business proposition
and entered upon defense of the Phil

that English and Belgian capitalists
would construct trunk lines such as
the American companies proposed. j,
When the speaker put the bill on
its passage he convulsed the house
by stating that 1.-The noes seem to
make the most noise" Then looking
over to the Republican side of the
chamber he declared 1.-The ayes have
it."
The Democrats demanded the yeas
and nays and the roll was called: The

LOSS OF OFFICERS is LARGE.
Naval Staff of the Russians in the Far East
Aboard the Petropavlovsk When the
Vessel Went Down at Port Arthur.

st. Petersburg, April 15.-Vice Ad-
miral Stark, formerly in command of
the Russian feet at Port Arthur, in an
interview is quoted as saying,
''In my opinion the Petropavlovsk
struck one of the contact mines laid
off Cape Liaoshan, but which had been
torn from it's moorings by the terrible
storms prevailing last week and which
9drifted under the stress of the south
gales into the roadstead. It could not
have been a mine laid near the en-
trance of the harbor because the latter
are not contact mines, but are fired
by electric wires from the shore"
In naval circles there are those who
believe the explosion was internal and
not external. The word used in the
