PARKER SEEMS THE CHOICE.
Matter of Instruction, However, a Live
 Matter in Georgia.


 Atlanta, Ga, May 31.-The Georgia Democratic State Convention will con- vene here at noon tomorrow to select the delegates to the National Conven- ton from each of the eleven Congress sional Districts, four delegates at large and to confirm the nominations for State house officers. selected at the Democratic primary April 20.
 The result of the convention is so much in doubt that predictions now are unsafe. Although no bitterness has developed, there promises to be a warm contest over the matter of se- Iecting the delegates at large and the question of instructions, the addition of the unit rule or leaving the delega- tion free to act as conditions at the national convention may dictate.
 Absolute instructions for Parker are favored by one element and are as strongly opposed by another. while considerable number appears to Ia vor leaving the delegation untram- meled by any instructions beyond resolution recommending Parker as the preference of the convention.
 After continuous wild and stormy scenes of unabatable disorder lasting for almost an hour, the Parker caucus which met tonight adjourned without having taken any action. The object of this caucus was to reach an agree rnent on the matter of definite instruc- fions for Judge Parker or preferential resolutions favoring his nomination The fight will be carried to the con- vention floor tomorrow.

Dyspepsia Remedy That Cures.
If Ml-O-na Does Not Cure, E. G. Fowler
 VIII Refund Your Money.

Among all the remedies in MT. Fow- ler's popular drug store there are few that he is willing to sell on a guaran- tee to refund the money if they do not cure. Mi-ona the famous dyspepsia remedy, has made so many cures among his customers that MT. Fowler says "If this remedy does not cure you, bring back the empty box and I will cheerfully return your money"
 Anyone who has dyspepsia, indiges- tion. headaches, dizzy feeling. or liver troubles, should take advantage of this chance to be made well without any risk of spending their money to no purpose Mi-o-na will cure; will regu- late the digestion, will enable anyone to eat what he wants. If 1t does not do this, the medicine will not cost you a cent.
 Mir. Fowler has sold a great many boxes of Mi-o-na in the last few weeks and Is yet to receive the first complaint from any customer. Such a record is simply marvellous and speaks volumes for the merit of the remedy.
 It is easy enough to fill a column with the symptoms afiicting those who have dyspepsia. but there Is no need of describing their condition. What they want is a cure. And they have 1t in Mi-o-na
 Do not suffer a day longer with dis ordered digestion. D Mi-o-na cures you 1t costs soc a box. and if 1t does net, you have Mir. Fowlers personal guarantee to return your money. (s)

MORMON ELDERS EGGED
BESsEMER BOYS ASSAULT THE
 FOLLOWERS OF JOSEPH SMITH.
The Production of Conl In Alabama shows Great Growth--The Re- ported Death of Minnie EIrod
 Proves Untrue.

Birmingham, May 31.--(Special)-- The two Mormon eleders who have been for some time past holding forth each night at the corner of Second Avenue and Nineteenth Street in Bessemer, were egged and driven from the street by a gang of boys. For several weeks these elders have opened their ad- dresses each night immediately after the closing of the Salvation Army ser- vices, and on one previous occasion some eggs were thrown at them, most of them falling to strike, however. It was not learned who the guilty parties were, nor even from what direction the missiles came.
 Considerable feeling has been arous- ed here because of the methods used by the Mormon elders in their attempts at proselyting, and many citizens have expressed their indignation, and the boys, supposing they had general ap- proval, took the matter into their own hands. and at least stopped the street performance for that evening.

 gomery Man.
 The final test of smoke consumer that has been invented by Superinten- dent Cox of the Western Railroad took place yesterday morning.
 It has been in operation for some time and the test yesterday was an exhibition.
 General Manager c. A. Wickersham of the Western Company with some expert mechanical men from Atlanta came to Montgomery in his private car and watched the invention which was pronounced an unqualified success
 By system of air pipes and blowers Ia steady current of air Is forced through and down to just over the furnace where the air Is heated to a degree. The smoke is literally burned up instead of belching out of the stack. and though the fireman dashed several shovelfulls of soft coal in the furnace not the faintest sign of smoke came out of the stack.
 The invention has been patented and will be one of the important mechani- cal inventions of the age.
