To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
l suppose from all | hear, it is a
fact that the Southern Railway company
is planning to build a passenger station
some-here on Twenty-sixth street, be-
tween Third and Sixth avenues, and beg
the use of your columns to give some
views as to the proposition of having two
passenger stations in Birmingham.
Without hesitation 1 assert that it would
be unfortunate indeed for the city as a
whole to have two stations, and l am
very sure that it will be detrimental to
the interests of those who have invested
in the already established business sec
ton of the town. Far b, ter would it be
If arrangements can r. made to have one
station large enough to accommodate
each of the roads viii h enters Birming
ham. and I see no reason why the Of
ficials of the different roads cannot come
to such an agreement.
1t may be that the present station will
soon be too small, but to one who is not a
railroad man it seems strange that more
space cannot be taken in, and the pres
ent station so enlarged as to serve the
purpose. The Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company owns all that land
north of the center line of Railroad
right of way from Fourteenth to Twen-
tieth streets; surely in all this space there
ought to be room enough to enlarge or
build mammoth passenger station suf-
ficient for all time to come.
The present Union depot has been a
landmark around which the people have
erected hotels office buildings. business
blocks. and established all kinds of bust
ness 1t would be a very serious matter
to disturb these enterprises by turning
loose large percent of the travelling
public in another section, blocks away
from this business district. Some say that
it does not help business to be in close
proximity to a passenger depot, but proof
is to the contrary in this city. The bust
ness of this town Is practically confined
to that section between Railroad right of
way on the south to Fourth avenue on
the north, and Eighteenth street on the
west Twenty-second street on the east
As the town has grown. this business
section has gradually spread in each direc-
ton, and If the Union passenger station
Is maintained in its present location. the
business section will gradually extend
from this central rJint as the city grows
and develops. To those who contend that
close proximity to a passenger station
is no advantage. l would ask why 1t is
that these hotels. office buildings. and
business houses have not been erected
farther away from TIL depot? Why has
that territory in the neighborhood Of
Twenty-fifth and Twentysixth streets,
and Third, Fourth and Fifth avenues, not
been built up for business purposes? Ger
tainly there is a difference of opinion on
the subject of the effect of a depot, or
property in the neighborhood of the pro-
posed new depot would not now be selling
for three and four times as much as the
same sold for few weeks ago. 1t is al
together a mistake to compare Birming-
ham with such cities as New York, Chi
cago and ST. Louis. These cities are so
large as to make the principal mercantile

Probable Murder in Bennington.

Early Sunday morning, April 30,
the body of Fred Bartlett of North
Bennington, aged 81 years. was found
in front of the postoffice in that viii
lage. The man had evidently been
dead several hours. There were
blood stains on the back of his neck.
and there was every indication of
his having been the victim of foul
play. He had a bad wound in the
back of his head and had been choked.
The body was found by John Kipp.
and the selectmen, health officer,
states attorney and two physicians
were summoned. An autopsy showed
that death was due to hemorrhage of
the brain. The physicians say death
could not have been due to natural

urday night at Walloomsac, n. Y, in

his body thrown out where 1t was

Rexall Medical News
Dyspepsia

Post-mortem statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that many
cases of consumption are due to the
uninterrupted progress Of dyspepsia,
Especially is this true in cases
where the victim was predisposed to
tuberculosis.
Therefore the person who allows
dyspeptic conditions to progress UNI
checked is contributing toward the
development of the most fatal dis
ease known to mankind.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
the brain - makes the victim thin,
haggard and sallow. The stomach,
unable to digest food, cannot supply
nourishment When other diseases
come they enter unresisted.
l.. P. Turner, cog Howard Street,
Detroit, Mich, says:
81 have suffered from dyspepsia
and indigestion for several years
and it reached such a stage that l
could hold nothing on my stomach,
and Immediately after eating the
lightest foods, would be taken with
violent fit of vomiting. i tried a
great many remedies, but nothing
helped me until | procured box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, when l
obtained instant relief. l am now
able to eat heavy foods and gladly
recommend the Rexall Tablets to
anyone suffering as did,"
Don't take any chances. Cure
your dyspepsia at once. Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets will do it. We
know what they are and guarantee
them to restore health, strength and
good digestion. Twenty-Five cents
will buy box big enough for
fifteen days trial. Money back if
