He has made chronic catarrh a lifelong
study. His remedy, popularity known as
Peruna, is the most famous remedy for

 O'Clock.

There will be meeting of the Cincin- natl club of the Elks at the Elks home this afternoon at { o'clock to discuss mat ters pertaining to the annual meeting of the grand lodge this month.
 At this meeting 1t is probable that the badges to be worn on the trip will be dis tributed. About 200 of them arrived yes- terday, and they are quite neat and novel In design. On the top of the badge is an oxidized medallion with picture of vul- can on it. and around the statue are the words Vulcan at St. Louisv' purple ribbon connects this medallion with a lower one, and on the ribbon are the words Birmingham 70. B. P. o. E" Be- heath the ribbon is an oxidized elk's head, and below that picture of the Elks' home in Birmingham with the words Our Home
 It has been suggested that the Blr- mlngham lodge take little statuettes of Vulcan to Cincinnati, as that would be a novelty and would also attract great deal of attention. This year Memolrs s full band will accompany the Elks. The party will travel in special car.

FOURTH WILL BE VERY
 GENERAL HOLIDAY IN BIRMINGHAM
WILL AGAIN
 BE ABLE TO RIDE WHEEL

From the last accounts received from Atlanta, Bobby walthonr, the worlds champion cyclist. Is not nearly so badly injured as the telegraphie reports have stated, and he Is in a fair way to recover and again be on the track in a few weeks.
 Although Walthour received serious fall. and the physicians at the time said he could hardly live and that if he did he could never ride again, Bobby says he will be up and doing in a few weeks and be able to go about training. He has had just as serious falls as this before, and came out of them all right.
 Jack Prince, who is building the Stadium here, has received long distance telephone messages from Mrs. walthour, and she states most positively that the injuries consisted of broken collar bone and some severe bruises Yesterday afternoon Russell Walthour, brother of Bobby received a telephone message from Mrs. Walthour that Bobby was resting well, and would be able to ride again in a few weeks.

CAMPBELL WANTS TO BE COMMITTEEMAN
THINKS HIS CHANGES GOOD TO DEFEAT CONGRESSMAN CLAY. TON-MANY ALABAMIANs OFF FOR ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

Quite number of the Alabama dele gates to the democratic national conven- tion left for St. Louis yesterday. There were however, more onlookers than dele gates in the party-men who are well known in the democratic councils in this state.
 The party was joined here by several prominent Birmingham citizens, including Congressman Underwood, former Con gressman J. F. Stallings, E. K. Campbell and others. MT. Campbell goes to be on the ground when the Alabama delegation organizes that he may look after his can didacy for member of the national com- mittee from Alabama. He is opposing Congressman Clayton for this posi- tion, and he said last night that his prospects seemed reasonably good It is understood that MT. Clayton has secured pledges from eleven of the twenty-two delegates. MT. Camp bell claims inc support of ten, This leaves one delegate unpledged, with both sides hoping to gam him. This delegate is Wal ter Black of the Second district, and be- cause of his doubtful position it is but reasonable to expect that for awhile, at least, he will be the most sought after member of the delegation.
 MT. Campbell seemed confident last night that he would secure the support of MT. Black and thus tie the vote of MT. Clayton With this condition, it would be idle to attempt prediction of the result MT Campbells friends are pressing the point that MT. Clayton has held the Ala bama place on the committee for two terms, and since it is an empty honor, without remuneration, they contend that 1t should be passed around to a non-office- holder
 Among other prominent democrats in the Alabama party were E. M Robinson. delegate from the First district; Con- gressman J. Thomas Hehin, N. P. Rem fro and T. P. Hudmon of Lee, R. E. Stein- CT, delegate from the -econd district and S. P. Johnson, delegate from the Fourth district

SMALL BUSINESS
 IN IRON MARKET
INQUIRY, HOWEVER, IS REPORTED BETTER-iNCREA NUMBER OF CONSUMERS NOW SEEM IN PERSISTED IN THE MARKET.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati re- port of yesterdays date says:
 Business during the past week has not been very large. The inquiry is certainly better, as more buyers seem to be inter- ested in the market and ascertainlng what they can do for their supply of iron for delivery during the last half of the year.
 The southern furnaces are expecting some difficulty in arriving at an agree ment on the price to be paid for mining coal for the ensuing year, commencing July l. There is quite a large stock of iron on hand at the furnaces in the south The southern fUrnacemen are usually not inclined to shut down their plants to reduce production; consequently if on ac- count of the disagreement Tn regard to the miners wages, 1t should cause a sus- pension of operations in that district for a period of sixty or ninety days, it would TO doubt help the pig iron market. There does not SC am to be any doubt at the present time, but that production exceeds consumption. Prices remain about the same as last week, with more of a dispo- sition to hold firm.

l ]HN I. SHUGART
 WAS FINED $25 Guilty of Contempt of Court
 During Sons Trial A NUMBER OF WITNESSES shusart Charged With Abusing Nose Levy, Witness for state-Judae
 Dan A. oreene's View of
 the Matter.
A NUMBER OF WITNESSES

After hearing the evidence and argu- ments in the case Judge Dan A. Greene associate judge of the criminal court of Jefferson county yesterday morning, de- elared John T. shugart, an attorney at law, to be guilty of contempt of court and fined him s25.
 It will be recalled that during the recent trial of Roland T. Shugart in the erim- inal court, Solicitor Heflin announced to the court he had been informed that after leaving the witness stand Nose Levy, witness for the state, had been abused by Attorney John T. shugart, in the corridor on the second floor of the court house. MT. Shugart heard the an nouncement by the solicitor and he im- mediately denied 1t to the court the state ment made by Mir Hefin. The court then thanking MT. Heflin for calling his atten- ton to the matter and passed the mat ter until the cause then pending could be decided upon by the jury
 In rendering his decision yesterday Judge Greene stated in open court that MT. Shugart had not wllfulTy been in his opinion, proven to be guilty of att tempting to intlmidate the witness Levy. but that laboring under the excitement and strain of the trial of his son for murder in the first degree, had uttered ex- pressions which were easily construed as having an intimidatlng effect upon the witness. After considering all of these cir cumstanees the eourt stated that the min- imum ffffes for contempt of court would be imposed.
 At the close Attorney shugart made an address in which he said that if he had been fined heavily or sent to the county jail that he would not have uttered a word. He acknowledged that he had been guilty of indescretion, and that the court had been more just to him than he would have been himself.
 The case against MT. shugart was prose- euted by Solicitor Heflin, while Attorney Hugh Morrow represented the defendant During the course of his argument so- licitor Heflin congratulated himself upon the fact that he was addressing the court instead of the Jury that tried the SOD of the defendant.
 The witnesses for the state were Nose Levey and Jones Abbott while John Tomerlin, Judge Samuel E. Greene and Curtis Shugart, the son of the defendant. were the witnesses for the defense
 Quite a large crowd was present at the hearing.
