THE PEOPLE WIN.
Supreme Court Says Trolley Line
Must Pay Property Owners.

Madison, Wis. Feb. 4-The state su-
prenle court has decided that an inter
urban trolley must pay compensation
to the owners of property on a street
traversed by the line. The case was
that in which Waukesha property own
ers sought compensation from the Mil
waukee Light, Heat and Traction COM
pany, which operates a line through
Waukesha. The company contended
that where the line passed through a
city it was not an interurban line and
should not be required to pay. The
company won the first suit, but the de-
ciSion is now reversed.

The BAPTIST Stale Convention.


Rev. A. J. Miller and Mr.. John
Richards left yesterday for Hat.
tiesburg. Miss, where they go
to attend the meeting OF the
State Baptist Association.
Over 200 delegates will be in
attendance upon this convention.
The convention will be presided
over by the venerable Dr.. II. +.
Sproles. who has been identified
with the Mississippi ministry
for many years, and who is now
pastor of the First Baptist
Church at Vicksburg. DR..
Sproles will be reelected presi-
dent without opposition on the
first day of the convention.
The Baptist church of Missis-
sippi represents 10000 commu-
nicants. and is the strongest de
nomination in the State. The
work of the church has been of a
most satisfactory nature for the
past five years, and its affairs are
in fourishing shape. The
missionary labors within the
State have been unusually fruit
full, especially in the delta and
the southern sections.
Educational work will be one of
the principal topics of discussion.
The convention supports and has
control of Mississippi College at
Clinton and the Baptist Orphan
age at Jackson, also contributing
literally to the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary at Louis
vile. Proportlonate to the num-
Der of communicates, the conven-
ton contributes more literally
to home and foreign missions
than any other Staten the South.

PARKER Has No RECORD.
IF Mr.. Parker had a record
of his own he might be judged
upon that record. But as he has
refused to speak he must be
judged by the record of his po-
litical manager. ex Senator Hill.
and his financial agent, August
Belmont, and the records. A
man who is weak enough to put
his candidacy in their hands be-
fore the convention would not be
strong enough to resist their in
fuence after the election, if he
were by any possibility success
full.
The second objection is the
one that carries weight with the
conservative delegates. viz, that
he can not win. 1t is becoming
more and more apparent that he
would prove a weak candidate,
and this is robbing him Of what
ever strength he had among the
men whose first desire is to win.
With such a candidate the battle
would begin with a footrace and
end with a rout. These two ar
guments seem quite certain to
prove his undoing

candidate this convention could

WIVES OF SICK
HUSBANDS.
Is Your Husband Victim of Disease,
Has He Been Doctoring for
Months or Possibly Years
in a Vain Attempt to
Recover Health 2
A Condition That Occurs in Many
Families.

We hear of many cases where the
anxious wife has herself taken charge of
the treatment of her sick husband, or
some other invalid member of the family,
with complete success. Kidney and
liver diseases produce much weakness
and misery and they are the diseases
with which the average physician seems
least able to successfully cope. A bottle
of Prick1y Ash Bitters, obtained perhaps
in opposition to the wishes of the pa
tient, and taken under protest has been
known to accomplish more good than
months of regular medical treatment.
Don't let your husband die without urg-
ing on him to try the great restorative
power of Prick1y Ash Bitters. 1t has
cured where the best medical talent
available has failed.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure in red on the front label.
