found Stiles body lying on the floor in
his room with part of his head blown off
with a shotgun. The young man was
dead when found.

Railroad companies centering in Bir-
mingham are thought to be turning their
attention toward securing a location for
a new passenger station, which will prob
ably have to be built within the next
year or eighteen months. The contracts
between the Louisville and Nashville and
other roads for the use of the present
station expire in 1907, and the lines using
the station have been notified that they
would have to vaeate.
Negotiations were entered into to re-
new the leases and enlarge the present
depot, but so far the louisville and Nash
vile has not receded from its position in
regard to the other roads vaeating when
their leases expire.
With that situation staring them III the
face it is up to the roads TO get busy,

speeches. and If the discussions bear fruit
the political aspirations of both present
and prospective offieeholders will be rele-
gated to the rear eventually, and, in the
councils opinion, men will be put on Of

heart
Delegate Marley made an impassioned
and intelligent appeal to organized labor
along this line, and was followed by a
most excellent speech by President Marx,
who told among other things. about the

WILL HAVE
TO BUILD NEW STATION

The Louisville and Nashville officials
have stated in letters to the other roads
that the present station facilities are no
greater than are needed by their road,

in the city have been suggested for the

When the new station is erected 1t will
probably be a very handsome one, as the

II which the officers were riding was
jogging along smoothly. Deputy Burgin
had the reins in hand, and all at once
there was a sudden malt and the next
thing the officers knew they were lying
over in a mud hole y the side of the
road. John Burgin had simply struck a
two-foot stump that stood defiantly in
the road.
None of the officers were injured.
Deputy Burgin pulled himself out of the
hole and started In pursuit of the horse
that was rapidly making a longer and
longer gap in the distance between the
officers and himself. The last thing said
to have been seen of Deputy Burgin that
night was the outline of his form In hot
pursuit of the runaway. The expressions
used at the time of the spill are for
divers reasons withheld from print.

Pain in the
Head

Is danger signal, warning
you that. the brain nerves are
exhausted-irritated, and are
undergoing an unnatural strain.
Frequent and prolonged at
tacks of pain weaken the gen.
erative power of the nerve
cells of the brain, and lead to
loss of memory, melancholy,
spasms, epilepsy, and frequent
ly insanity.
When the brain nerves are
weakened they are unable to
supply sufficient nerve force
to the nerves that control the
lungs, heart, stomach and
other organs, and these organs
are thus robbed of energy, and
unable to meet the demands
upon them, and they get sick.
Stop the head pains with DR..

influence upon your general
health will be greater than you
can realize.
