ADJUSTMENTS
At the Bijou.

George Romans Vaudeville Trouba- dours who opened a weeks engagement at the Bjou theatre last night presented an exceptionally strong bill. One of tic best numbers on the programme was that of Green and Werner, who gave a unique comedy sketch entitled "The Babes in The Jungle" Scenery and cos tunes made this act eminently pleasing The woman member of the team is hand some in face and figure and also has a good voice. Crane, the thaumaturglst, gave a clever performance and won de- served applause. His illusions are excel lent and puzzling to the most experienced student of. "black art" The act of Ap- dales performing dogs and bears proved to be entertaining. The animals are well trained and do their tricks cleyerly. Sam Elten made everybody laugh with his comedy and broke a quantity of crockery He scored quite hit last night and demonstrated his ability to make the shah laugh. Little Gary Owen and com pany pleased the audience with comedy while May Crawford did an acceptable soubrette part The programme is uni forlnly good and contains first class en- tertainment.

East Lake Casino.

The Y. c. Alley Musical Comedy com pany opened a weeks engagement at the East Lake Casino last night, presenting Jack and Till, musical fantasy based on the story of Jack and the Bean stalk.'' The performance from a musical point of view was pleasing and superior to previous musical shows offered at the Casino. Several good voices distinguish the company Miss Claire Atkinson, who took the part of Jill, sang well and re- vealed an attractive personality. Vivian Forrest also acquitted herself capably as the fairy and George Murray as the Prince Cavalier was heard to ad- vantage in his songs. Jack and Jill is characterized by some pretty music. While the company is small and the pro- duction not pretentous. the entertainment provided is good enough for a summer theatre Some sixteen or seventeen song numbers were rendered during the three acst, most of them tuneful.

TO FORM SOCIETY
 FOR SAYING YOUTH
MEETING HELD BY INTERESTED PERSONS YESTERDAY AFTER NOON TO DISCUSS IDEA-MEET AGAIN IN TWO WEEKS.

In furtherance of the movement out lined by the Rev. Crawford Jackson in his lecture at the First Methodist church Sunday night for saving the wayward youth from a life of crime, meeting of interested persons was held in the palm room of the Hotel Hilllman yesterday af- ternoon. Following is a list of those pres ent: Crawford Jackson, Judge N. B. Feagin, Judge w. R. Houghton, S. P. Fowlkes, the Rev. J. W. Canty Johnson, NJ. V. Joseph, the Rev. A. J. Dickinson, John Melpolder. the Rev. Walter s. Brown and the Rev. J. J. D. Hall.
 Judge Feagin was elected temporary chairman and the Rev. Walter s. Brown temporary secretary.
 MT. Jackson explained that the pur- pose of the meeting was to take steps looking towards caring for the wayward children by securing juvenile court egsla- ton throughout Alabama. He said that by organization it would be possible to do what individual effort can never &C., complish, and suggested that it would be well to establish q society here for the purpose under discussion similar to the juvenile protectorate societies in existence in other parts of the country.
 On motion of Dr. Dickinson, the follow ing resolution was adopted:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that Alabama ought to have juvenile court law, and that Judge Hough- ton be appointed to draft such a law and present it at the next meeting.'
 motion was also adopted providing that a committee of ten members be ap- pointed by the chair to secure a perma- nent- organization of a juvenile protec- tive society for the Birmingham district. This committee will be named later The name and form of the organza ton are to be selected when the organization shall have been perfected.
 After discussion of several of the per sons present. the meeting adjourned sub ject to the call of the chair. It will be reconvened within two weeks.
 Judge Feagin says that 1t is the purpose of the society to work in conjunction with the womens clubs throughout the state who have contemplated such an organiza- ton. and friends in Mobile, Montgomery, Jefferson and other counties who have shown themselves to be in sympathy with the movement.

Because of insufficient evidence that the body found several days ago in the Ar kansas river, 12O miles south of Little Rock, was that of w. J. Marshall, the contractor of Birmingham. as is believed by s. H. Harris, who returned yesterday morning with the corpse, the funeral was not held yesterday afternoon as was in tended, but will be delayed awaiting fur ther efforts at Identification. Upon the disbelief of Mrs. Marshall and the broth CT of the missing man that the body is that of MT. Marshall, there was so much doubt cast upon the matter that the East Lake Masonic lodge withdrew from the proposed funeral service. An important dis crepancy exists between the identification marks of the body found in the Arkansas river and brought to Birmingham by MT Harris, and Mrs Marshalls minute de- scription of her husband in the matter of four gold filings in the teeth which MT. Marshall had and the dead body has not. Another difference Is in the clothing.
 MT. Marshall, when last seen wore q dark blue serge coat, soft felt hat and dark striped trousers. He also wore, ac- COidliS u HIS Mlltt ei iOHio-iiehNS "h'NS shirt and canton flannel drawers and black socks. The clothing on the body was of light gray color. These, when seen by Mrs. Marshall, she positively as serts were not those of her husband.
 Also a disagreement was found as to the size of the shoes. Those on the body were measured with q pair of MT. Marshall at his home and were found to be an inch longer
 Although there is a remarkable coin cidence between the disappearance of MT. Marshall from Little Rock, where he was last heard from and the drowning of an unknown man witnessed there, there is still another marked discrepancy. The date of the package containing some of MT. Marshalls effects was that of the

CAMPAIGN TALK
 HEARD IN HOUSE
NIGHT SESSION WAS DEVOTED TO SPEECHES ON THE TARIFF. RAINEY OF ILLINOIS SPEAKS ON THE WATCH TRUST.

Washington. June 25.-speeches on va- rious phases of the tariff question fur nished entertainment for less than quorum during the three-hour session of the House tonight.
 Mr McCleary of Minnesota opened the debate. T stand unequivocally," he saiu, flor the republican doctrine of protec- tion and reciprocity as enunciated in tho republican national platform of 1904, is that platform has been interpreted by Theodore Roosevelt" One of the prin- cipal blanks of the congressional cam paign he predicted would be the tariff.
 Representative pou of North Carolina devoted forty minutes to comments on the republican tarff position. We are as- sured," he said, Of at least two more years of prosperity because you are to stand pat that length of time, and the tariff you say makes us prosperous
 MT Rainey of Illinois delivered his sec ond speech on the watch trust question. He accused Secretary Shaw of extend- ing protection of the trust by with holding information about it's efforts to prevent the transportation of it's own pro- ducts. He said the grades shipped abroad comprised the entire line of higher grade Amerlcan-made movements. The reor- ganization of the Waltham Watch com pany with an increase of stock to s12 0,000 was vehemently denounced by MT. Rainey, who asserted that on March 3l, 1905 the officers of this company swore that the value of their patents was $1S0,l2o, whereas a year later they placed tho value of the same patents at si,500'oO0 The conclusion was irresistible, he assert ed, that either the officers of the com pany perjured themselves or are delber- atey deeeiving the public now.
 The House adjourned until tomorrow.

ANOTHER BODY
 ADDS MYSTERY
 TOKNOTTY CASE
One Brought from Little Rock May Not be W. j. Marshall After Al-0ne Found on Red Mountain May Prove
 to be That of the East Lake Contractor

Sth, while the suicide of the unknown man by jumping Into the river at Little Rock took place on the 9th. So much doubt arises from the known facts in the case, the unknown can only be surmise1 as the body is too much decomposed for resemblance to be traced that the Metro politan Insurance company, represented by W. H. Stewart, has dropped the mat ter of paying the $500 policy on Marshalfs life through lack of proof of indentity.
 Leaving aside, then, the consideration of the disappearance of MT. Marshall at Lit tie Rock In connection with the dead body found in the river near there, identified as his and brought to Birmingham by Mir. Harris, there is still another body, the clothing of which exactly agrees with that worn by MT. Marshell. It is the body found Sunday on Red mountain. The blue serge coat and vest are the same, the dark striped trousers. the homemade white shirt are the same, the Canton fan nel drawers, the black socks, the heavy lace shoes and the soft black hat are the same. Two back teeth which might have been filled with gold are missing from the skull. Even the height of the body. as nearly as can be judged from its present decomposed state, is the same as that of MT. Marshall.
 From all evidence that could be obtained by an Age-Herald reporter at a late hour last night, it seems highly probable, there- fore. that this body and not the one found in the Arkansas river, is the body of w. J. Marshall of Birmingham
 The body was discovered on Red moun- tain Sunday, but on account of the coro- ner being out of town it was not moved until yesterday afternoon, when it was brought to Gaudin's undertaking estab- lishment.
 Nothing was in the pockets of the cloth ing but a copper cent. There were no pa pers of any sort and the coroner reported that Identification was impossible.

r1ADE FROn NATIVE ROOTS.
 SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants, growing wild in our American forests, possess remarkable properties for the cure of human maladies Is well proven. Even the untutored Indian had learned the curative value of some of these and taught the early settlers their uses. The Indian never liked work so he wanted his sqnaw to get well as soon as possible that she might do the work and let him hunt. Therefore, he dug upapoose root for her, fer that was their great remedy for te- male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the same root--called Blue Cohosh-in his rFayorte Prescription" skillfully com bined with other agents that make It more effective than any other medicine in curing all the various weaknesses ana painful Arrangements peculiar to women:
