PHYSICIANS PECULIAR CASES.
Unusual Experiences of a Doctor of
 Columbus, Ga.

NOAuAnDubS Ods
 Columbus. Ga. Nov. 2.-(Special.)- A Columbus physician has just been called upon to render medical assist ance in two unusual cases reported from the disreputable quarter of the city.
 A young woman was cleaning up her dress with benzine and in some manner inhaled the benzine with the result that she fell to the floor and appeared to be almost in a dying condition. When the doctor arrived he found her dangerously Ill and still unconscious but by hard work he managed to save her life. He attributed the extreme ly unusual effect of the benzine inhala- ton to the fact that she was of very ,delicate constitution.
 Another place the doctor was called in to cauterize the wounds of a wo- man who had been bitten by a dog ap- parently mad. investigation after the dog had been killed showed that the animal was not mad. but on the con trary exhibited a degree of intelli- gence and maternal affection remark able to behold, One of her puppies was playing in rear room and be- came entanRled in the cord of a ham, mock with the result that it was chok- ing to death. The mother saw its distress and ran into the sitting room with the hope of attracting the atten- ton of the women there. She parked eXcitedly and tried to call their atten- ton to the fact that something was wrong in the rear room. Upon their failure to go to the room she sprang at one of the women and bit her pain fully on both arms.

Wine Being Made in Montgomery.

"hme nChDB huuC hH "out4ohh~Ass
 Less than twelve months ago the name of Drake's Palmetto Wine was unknown to Readers of The Advertiser, but it Is now a household word among thousands in Montgomery and sur rounding territory. It is matter of no little surprise that a meritorious preparation can win its way into the homes of so many in this brief space of time. The secret. however. can be told in. very few words. The manufac- turers. knowing its curative qualities. advertised their preparation and at the same time distributed several thousand test bottles among those who desired to give 1t a fair trial. The immediate calls upon the druggists for the regu- lar size bottles demonstrated the fact that the article was one of merit.
 These same druggists will also bear further evidence to the fact that Drake Palmetto Wine will do just what it claims, these facts being gleaned from words of praise from satisfied custom CTS who, after giving 1t a fair trial and reaping benefits therefrom, desired oth- CTS to know It's merits.
 In order to further establish Drake Palmetto Wine among those whom it will benefit. the manufacturers are making another free test distribution III MoHlSomcEyJ sdHlple Doltle oL which may be obtained from P. C.. Fowler. as advertised in The Adverti. :. ser.
 The reproduction In The Advertiser few days ago of nearly one hundred testimonials, selected at random from several thousands, speaks volumes for the merits of the preparation.
 They do not try to prove what 1t will do for you. A test bottle and fair trial will demonstrate in the most forcible way. If you are sick and looking for a cure. they claim to have the remedy that will cure you. Call and secure a test bottle before the supply Is ex- hausted. adv.

Charleston, N. C., Nov. "A reser. voir of the municipal water works located near the centre of Winston, N C.. broke at 5 o'clock this morning causing the loss of nine lives and the injury of four or five persons. The dead:
 Mrs, Martin Peoples, Mrs. vogler Mrs. John Poe and twelve year old daughter Mrs. Southern, John South ern. Miss octavia Bailey. aged twenty Lucille Malone. Caroline Martin. The two last named are negroes.
 The injured: Martin V. Peoples, in- jury to back; Gilley Jordan, slightly bruised; D. I. Payne. a travelling man Of Greensboro. may recover, though his condition prevents his removal tc the hospital.
 The north side of the reservoir which was thirty feet high, tumbled over. falling upon the home and barn of Martin V. Peoples. There were about S00,000 gallons of water In the reservoir. The mad stream rushed northeast to the Southern Railway cut and thence to the Lost Pond. dis tance of mile and half.
 Four tenement houses were washed several hundred yards. D. I. Payne said he was awakened by the crash and thought he was being swallowed by an earthquake.
 T cannot describe my experience while I was floating on the rushing stream of water" said Mir. Payne after his removal to a house near the place he was found.
 There were several miraculous es- capes. negro man named Davis and his wife, after their house was turned over. fioated upon the stream of water on their bed to the railroad Junction distance of 500 yards. They landed upon heap of rubbish and walked away without a scratch.
 The Winston aldermen met today and made arrangements to bury the dead and care for the injured.

No More Frivolous Cases.

On the first of November Judge Feagin of the Inferior Criminal Court advised the police officers to cease mak- ing arrests on verbal information for misdemeanors. He told them that un- less the misdemeanor was committed in their presence. in his opinion, they had no authority to make the arrest unless a charge was preferred in writ ing. There were eighteen cases on the docket of the inferior criminal court yesterday and the same number today, which is a very large decrease, the average number of arrests daily heretofore ranging from thirty to 15O. The judge believes that If his advice is followed by the police, Birmingham will soon lose the unenviable reputa- tion of being a city where the arrests aggregate 12,000 annually and that the dockets of his court will not be bur dened with prosecutions that are frivo- lous
 The police. on the other hand, are inclined to demur at the restriction im- posed by the judge. They say that the formality of requiring written charge will give the offenders the op- portunity to escape.
