NOT CAUSED BY GERMS,
No Dyspepsia MicrObe. One Disease
 That Has No Bacillus.


 It really seems refreshing in these days of germs and microbes to know that there is one disease at least where A eermicide does not have to be usd to cur it.
 Dyspepsia is a plain. ordinary. com mon. miserable disease that has all kinds of causes except a germ. To cure it. the unframed and irritated or pans should be relieved for a time of mart of their work Mi-o-na, the one guaranteed cure for dyspepsia, meets these conditions and also gives strength and tone to the whole system.
 few days treatment will show the great good Mi-o-na can do and its use for a reasonable length of time will re suit in a complete cure. No one should hesitate trying this remedy. It is as certain to be successful in curing dys- Depsja and stomach troubles as any, thing can be. A two weeks treatment costs but 50 cents.
 Mi-o-na Is sold by F. c. Fowler on the fairest plan imaginable. with an ab solute guarantee to refund the money in case it does not cure. He will sell you Mi-o-na on trial with the positive understanding that if 1t does not give satisfaction the money is to be returned without question. A guarantee like this cannot fail to inspire confidence. The purchaser runs no risk whatever.

When You Send Your Son to College

When YOn Send Your Son to College.
 President Charles F. Thwing. of Western Reserve University and Adel- bert College. writing on the subject of College Life and the Home" in the current Harper's Weekly, says that the home should be frank in telling the college all about the boy whom 1t in trusts to the college for four wears. '. II have often thought and believe have elsewhere said, that 1t might be well for the college to put into the hands of every father sending a son some questions about that son. In such a list might be included such questions as these:
 T. Has your son inherited tendencies to any disease?
 70 What are his favorite studies?
 8. To what temptations is he more inclined to yield?
 A. Does he readily assume leader ship in any undertaking?
 "6. Can he be trusted not to over work? Can be trusted to workenough?
 -. Can he be trusted to take suf- ficient exercise?
 "S. Has he already formed good hab- it's of study? If not in what respect are his habits of study poor?
 ''9. What do you wish this college to do for your son?

 The results of the deliberation of the Legislature. however. was the estab- lishment of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn.

 More attention was paid to printing and finishing goods but sateens had a slow sale. The tone generally was more buoyant. the majority of buyers doing more business than they have done for some time past. Yarns were quiet, users preferring to walt develop emnts in cotton before operating on any large scale The producers of most American countries were very anxious to trade and offered concessions which coudd not be obtained two weeks ago.

Fortune Teller Arrested.

The negro. Professor Barrett" as his hand bills designate him. and who has been referred to in these dis patches heretofore as creating some thing of a sensation in the fortune telling" line. did not foresee what was in store for him last night. although he was able to tell what would happen to other persons.
 Early last night Barrett appeared on Palafox street and was attired in a red robe. Deputy Sheriff Sanders asked him the price of a fortune tell ing. Barrett replied that 1t would be one dollar whereupon Deputy Sanders informed Barrett that he was under ar- rest, and to walk over to the county jail The negro was highly indignant, but could not resist the demands of the officer Today he occupies cell at the county jail on d charge of doing business without a license. The H. cense to carry on that sort of business In this county and state Is considerably over $500. and in default of payment. the fortune teller will have to remain in jail for no inconsiderable period.

WOMAN TAKES ACID
DESPONDENT OVER PREDICTIONS
 OF NEGRO SOOTHSAYER.
Believed in Pensacola that Louisville and Nashville will Again Take up Contract for Shipping
 Coal to TampicO.

Pensacola Fla, July 31.-Pearl Spen- cer, a white woman, swallowed large quantity of carbolic acid yesterday af- ternoon, and by five o'clock In the af- ternoon a coroner's jury was making inquiries into the cause of her death.
 The testimony was interesting. When Coroner Landrum empaneled body of six men, witnesses were summoned and questioning began. The informa- ton came out that the woman had con- suited with the black fortune teller who has been creating something of a sensation in this city for the past week, and that individual had went into the supposed details of her past in a manner to maks her feel nervous to a degree of desperation.
 The woman witness before the jury testified that the fortune teller had predicted that Pearl Spencer would re- ceive and despatch telegrams with the word death" written on them in large letters. The import of this supposed fortune" was not understood by the subject" and she began to worry over the future very much. Friday, 1t was stated, she left her home and remained away all day.
 The following day. when she commit ted suicide. she came home drunk and Is said to have made an attempt to then end her existence. In this she was prevented by the quick blow from the hand of a person standing near.
 Saturday she seems to have become imbued with the idea that she must die and went about telling all of her friends and those of her class farewell, saying that she would soon go from them forever. In addition to this, she made disposition of several pieces of her personal property. Then. in the afternoon, seeking her own room. she drank the acid and was in the throes of death when found some time after ward Doctors were called. but she was too far gone to give out an intelli- gible statement Her remains were to- day shipped to Anniston, Ala.

yearly, and two big steamers would have to be regularly employed to car- ry out the terms. The information now reaches the city that Baltimore men. who secured the contract by bid- ding lower than the railroad company are losing money on the proposition. and that they would gladly let the Lou isville and Nashville have the work again. This information, while not ot- fcial Is from a source which might be deemed a reliable one, and 1t Is given credence here.
 The information Is also given out that the work of delivering the coal to Tampico through Pensacola will be taken up shortly and that the two big steamships of the Louisville and Nasn- vile will be employed.
 A small amount of coal will be car- ried at first, it is generally understood on account of the mine troubles in AL abama. The new mine at Warrior will be drawn upon, and in a few days 1t Is expected that the usual activity will prevail at the now quiet coal docks of the Louisville and Nashville.
 The return of this contract will be hailed with delight by many in this city. Many men, who have had to hunt employment elsewhere, will return to their old positions.
 Superintendent E. o. Saltmarsh of the local division, left for northern points yesterday ostensibly to accom- pany Col. Fred DeFuniak, another Lou isville and Nashville official up the road. It is now tacltly understood that the objective point of MT. Saltmarsh' s trip is Louisville, and that he goes to that city, the headquarters of the Lou isville and Nashville to arrange for again taking up the coal contract.

After County Commissioners.

State Comptroller A. c. Groom has addressed letter to the Board of County Commissioners. demanding an explanation for the action of that body in sending the delinquent tax list to d weekly paper. having only a nominal circulation, it is stated, when the two daily papers of Pensacola, covering ev- cry quarter of the county. offered to print the list for one price. This let ter was read at a special meeting of the Board Saturday night and one Of the members, Frank Johnson, who seems to be extremely bitter against the local newspapers dictated a reply to the comptroller, but when the ques- tion of voting on the sending of the reply to the comptroller came up, MT. Johnson cast no vote. He said, howev- CT. that he did not think the comptrol- Ter had great deal to do with the Board of Commissioners. and that a re- ply to the letter should be sent, he thought, as a matter of. courtesy. and not one of compulsion. The question of sending a reply, however, was car- ried. and the clerk will mail one at once.
