Strength is one of the distinguishing
attributes of healthy man. In one of
the most beautiful poetic flights known
to literature, the inspired singer finds no
finer figure to express the suns majestic
rising than "rejoicing like strong man
to run a race"
Who has not known such a man, the
picture of health, hardy and athletic,
suddenly begin to fail? At first he
has slight cough, which he laughs
at. Presently the cough becomes deep
seated. The scales tell him he is losing
flesh. A little later and the lungs bleed.
He grows weaker and more and more
emaCiated. Each day sees some circum-
scribing of his activities, until at last he
does not leave the house, and friends
shake their heads and say, vPoor fell
low! Who would ever have believed it
possible?"
But what are the doctors doing all this
time! Doing their best probably, but
usually doing no lasting good. The
emaciation grows more marked, the
weakness more apparent, until at last the
sick man hears the sentence, Where's
no hope"
1t is just at this very point of hope
1essness that the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has proven
the first step to health to many a suf-
ferer. 1t cures the cough, stops the
hemorrhage, heals the lungs, puts sound
flesh upon the body, and sends the man
back to the activities of life as strong as
ever. It's a wonderful statement, but
it is literally true, that vGolden Medical
Discovery" has cured time and time
again when all other means had abso-
lutely failed to benefit.
There is no alcohol in the Discovery"
and it is absolutely free from opium, CO.
caine, and all other narcotics.
Persons suffering from disease in
chronic form are invited to consult DR..
R. V. Pierce, by letter, free. All cor
respondence is private and the conf
dences of the sick are guarded with pro-
fessional privacy. The success of the
methods and medicines of DR.. R. V.
Pierce, may be inferred from the fact
that of the thousands treated by him
and his assistant staff of nearly score
of physicians ninety-eight per cent have
been perfectly and permanently cured.

ROBBERS FRIGHTENED
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT ON TAIL
 LADEGA POSTOFFICE.
Cracksmen, Who Were Scared on by PatrOiman Hubbard, Would Have Made Rich Haul-The Ala
 bama ChautauQua.
WE  SELL CHEAPEST

Talladega, Aug. l0.-(Special.)- )-An attempt was made this morning at o'clock to rob the Talladega postofiice The cracksmen affected an entrance in- to the office through a rear window cutting through iron bars. and had broken one hinge of large iron safe with a siedge hammer and had insert ed q charge in the safe door to blow it off when they were frustrated by Night Patrolman John Hubbard. MT. Hub bard heard the noise from the front and was making for the rear. when in some way the robbers learned of his presence and fled.
 Had the robbery been successful the cracksmen would have made rich haul. as there was near $3,000 in money and stamps in the safe. Yesterday an unusually large amount of money was taken in at the postoffice and 1t would seem that the robbers had knowledge of this fact, as 1t Is seldom that such an amount as yesterdays is on hand. There were three of the cracksmen, as best the policeman could make out In the dark. There Is no clue.
 The Alabama Chautauqua Is now on its last week and 1t has been the most successful of the eleven annual ses- sions. For the past two days Superin- tendent John c. Williams has been conducting a teachers institute, em- bracing several counties, and 1t has been almost State affair In its scope.

GApspEN,s NARROW ESCAPE.
City Came Very Near Expcriencing Serious Blaze.


 Gadsden, Aug. 10.-(Special. )-Gads- den narrowly escaped a most disas- trous fire at 2:15 this morning. when flames were discovered by Officers Ro- per and OBannon pouring out of the second story of the building owned by Thomas G. Ewing and occupied on the first floor by Otto Agricola and ton and W. I. Fullington. The fire was caused by defective electric light wiring and caught in the office of Dr. Thornton, the wall being in a blaze and the flames pouring out of the windows when discovered. The alarm was sounded and the rIre engine and reel wagon were on the scene in few moments and three streams of water were turned on the fire. The fire was located on Broad street and In one of the most prominent busi- ness blocks of the city, where there were several large stores, well stocked. The office of Dr. Thornton and MT. Fullington were gutted and the loss of Dr. Thornton Is complete with no in- surance. and will amount to several hundred dollars. MT. Fullington suf- fered loss of about $2OO, with no insurance. The stores of Otto Agri- cola below. with fifty feet front, were soaked with the water turned on the fire and which ran through the cell ing in streams, damaging the stock considerably. Mir Agricola carries a stock of stoves. tinware, queensware, etc, valued at s12.0OO, upon which he carries $7,00O insurance. His damage is caused by water and will doubtless reach several thousand dollars. The fire came very near being serious one.

Before the work of construction was begun there was much criticism because of the fact that such a great sum was to be spent upon a mere chapel. but 1t was explained that the structure was to be more than a chapel; in fact, an abbey of the navy of the United States, where were to be gathered tablets and memorial win dows. and as many things of the kind as would be possible to commemorate the splendid events in the annals of the American Navy.

 The most experienced and successful of Western rulers over an Eastern peo- pie Lord Cromer is quoted as saying: That he believed four conditions were essential to the uniform and was that they should not be in a hurry: the second, that Egyptian af- fairs should be kept out of the danger ous S. swirl of British party politics; His reasonable occasion should be taken to profit by any real aptitude the Egyp- tians might show for managing their own affairs. great care should be ob- served in urging Western ideas on the country before the people were ripe to asslmilate such ideas. The fourth and last of his conditions was that Egypt should continue to be governed in the interest of the Egyptians themselves.
