FINDS RELATIVES
 AFTER A CENTURY
STRANGE COINCIDENCE IN CON- NEcTioN WITH HISTORY OF THE Hu55ELL FAMILY IN THE PHIL lPPlNE ISLANDS.

Huntsville, May 1-(Special1-Dr. John M Feeney, surgeon of the United States army, recently returned from the Philip pines, after several years service there, tells an interesting story concerning the father and brother of Col W. H. Hub bell, colonel of artillery. that serves to show the old axiom that the world is indeed small is not far wrong.
 In the year 1900 two brothers named Hubbell, sons of a wealthy merchant captain of Boston, set sail from that port on one or their fathers ships bound Tor voyage Of discovery. The young CT brother was named George Hubbell and when they, after a year or two of cruising in eastern waters. landed at Manila, the younger brother decided that he would stop there and make his home and incidentally his fortune In those days mails were slow and the family re- maining on this side of the world heard little and seldom from George Hubbell. and he finally died there in 1888 or 1S4O.
 The other brother returned home after three years spent among the different countries, picking up valuable cargo for his fathers ships. Col w. H. Hub bell. of the United States army. artillery NNh BSs aN pitSthi s0ANlIS III the Philip pines at the Cuartel de Esparta is his son.
 One day recently while Colonel Hubbell was attending to some business in the Shanghai and Hongkong bank one of the older officials on noticing Colonel Hub bells name said:
 Colonel, l have something out here back of the bank that may be of interest to you
 Colonel Hubbell stepped back and there where it had lain for three-quarters of a century was a large monument to the memory of George W. Hubben. financier and first American consul to the Philip pines. with the date of his birth and death The fact was learned later that George w. Hubbel was the owner of the building in which the bank was doing business.
 Colonel Hubbell at once had the monu- ment overhauled removed and at the re- quest of the city authorities when they heard of the matter, placed in the Plaza de Morgan, where 1t now stands to com memorate the first American consul to the islands that entire America was and is so ignorant of even existing up to the time the United States began war with the intention of freeing Cuba

MANY NEW ROADS.
Convicts In Etowah Have Been Put to
 Good Use.

Gadsden, May 1.-(Special)-Under the administration of Probate Judge J. II. Lovejoy there have been built in Etowah county during the past two years seventy six miles of splendid pike roads with the conviets who have been convicted in the county and city courts.
 The convicts cost the county IS cents a day for the guards, teams and all other expenses. and a special tax is levied for their maintenance. which is so slight as not to be felt by the tax payer. Hereto fore the county convicts were hired out and the money went into the fine and for feiture fund, which benefited only q few, whereas as it is now all the people that are benefited.

A disordered stomach may
cause no end of trouble. When
the stomach fails to perform it's
functions the bowels become de-
ranged, the liver and kidneys con-
gested, causing numerous dis

painless and therefore the more
t. be dreaded. The important
thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to a healthy condition,

An excellent instance of this trait,

ride to a hill about a mile distant, on
which stood solitary tree. When the
man returned he was asked what kind
of tree it was, and on his reply that
