Few places in Switzerland are more
interesting than the historic old city of
Lucerne, at the junction OF the river
Reuss and Lake Lucerne memorable
for its historic associations with the
heroic legends OF William Tell.
Across the river are two wonderful
wooden bridges, the Muehlenbruecke.
or Mil bridge" with its quaint pic
lures Of the Dance Of death" and the
Kapellbruecke, or Chapel bridge" This
chapel bridge was constructed as long
ago as 1898 and for nea<ly 600 years
formed the chief avenue Of traffic
across the broad but sluggish stream.
Anciently the bridge extended its zig
gag shape to nearly twice its present
length and reached as far as the Hof-
klrche, or cathedral, whence its name.
the Chapel bridge.
In the center Of this covered wooden
bridge stands the famous octagonal
Wasserthurm, or water tower, where
IN olden times the municipal treasure
was stored. For ages it was also used
as a prison and among the dungeons
as a torture chamber.
But the most unique feature Of all
consists Of the curious pictures in the
roof Of the bridge. These old pictures

angular wooden panels which fit into
the pitched roof q the bridge. One
after another they tell the most salient

 pr. A. A. Odom's methods are ex- elusive with him. By 1t unheard-o of and deemed impossible results are ac- complished, and the thousands ef testf- monials throughout the United States bearing witness to his marvellous work. and homes made happy speak volumes for his skill
 To eye-sufferers this Is the opportun- ity of your life. The above gentleman has wide experience In this work, ana add that it is not upon this point alone that such phenomenal success nas crowned their efforts. but Is due to their knowledge of muscular dehcien- cies and refractive errors of the nu- man eve.

Ever since I was a child--in fact almost from the time when can first remember--I have been the victim of intense and pro- longed headaches. The attacks come at frequent and Irregular intervals. And followed any continuous effort
 made by me In the use of my eyes The
 pain was little less than excruciating.
 My eyes burned, the temples painfully and sharp neuralgia pains pierced my brow.
 "whenever went for advice was told that my case was one in which relief could not be had by using eye glasses. The occulist and physicians prescribed tonics. I followed their ad-
 vice faithfully, but though I swallowed

 get no relief. my condition grew steadily worse, until at length feared l that not only increasing headaches, but even permanent blindness was my DOT ton.

 Selma, May 27.
 The last days session of the Ala bama State Elks' Association was spent in the woods at Lake Lanier. nine miles west of here. A special train leaving the union passenger station at o'clock took a large number of the delegates and members of the Selma Lodge out and this afternoon at o'clock they re- turned to the city and left for their different homes over the State. The convention was a pleasant one and one that will be remembered by the dele gates who attended 1t.
 No business was transacted at Lake I.anier today, the session there being merely q social one. where the dele gates spent an enjoyable day in the woods. At 80 o'clock barbecue din- ner was served to all of those who were present. The mutton and pork was cooked to a delicious brown and the Brunswick stew was one of the finest | that has been served in this section in many a day. The dinner was greatly enjoyed by the delegates and the day spent fin the woods at Lake Lanier Will be one of the pleastn recollections Of the second annual convention of the State Association.
 The social session which was ten | dered the delegates in the rathskeller of the home Friday night was the most | agreeable and the largest attended ses- sion the Selma Lodge has ever given. President Brandon acted as toastmaster | for the occasion and proved himself equal to all emergencies. Many toasts | were proposed by the toastmaster and | responded to by those present in a wit ty and jocular manner and the evening passed most pleasantly until the II | o'clock toast was drunk to the absent brothers, when the session came to Q l close.
 Selma Lodge. 167 did itself honor as | the host of the State Association. and l spared no pains to treat it's guests roy ally. That its efforts were appreciated by the delegates, there is no reason to | doubt if the many words of praise spoken by them are of any signif- | canoe.

They have been very successful SO far and have had subscribed towards the fund about $500.
 The movement to raise a horse fund for the troop is a worthy one, and one that every property owner in the coun- ty should subscribe liberalIy towards. for in time of need the troop would be of vast benefit fin the way of saving life and property and deserves the encour- agefnent of the citizens of the county.

Wanted in Birmingham.

Chief of Police Walters this morning received a letter from the acting chief of police of Birmingham asking him for a description of the two men, Bell Sawyer and James Mason. who were arrested here last week for forgery. The letter stated that recently two men had passed several such checks in that city and he doubted not but that the two men recently apprehended in Selma were the same men.
 The two men were turned loose thls week and pictures could not be sent of them to the Birmingham authorities, as was requested. A description of them, however, was forwarded, but if they are the same men who passed checks in Birmingham they have doubtless made good their escape by this time and if will be considerable trouble to catch them. It is supposed that the two men left Selma for their homes in Monroo County.
