INTERESTING FACTS
For Nearly Every Man, Woman or
 Child.

short time ago we published an arr ticle recommending to our readers the new discovery for the cure of Dyspepsia. called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and and the claim then made regarding the wonderful curative properties of the rem- edy have been abundantly sustained by the facts. People who were cautious about trying new remedies advertised in the newspapers were finally induced to giva Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets a trial were surprised and delighted at the results. In many cases a single package costing but 50 cents at any drug store made complete cure and in every instance tho most beneficial results were reported. From d hundred or more received we have space to publish only few of the latest but assure our readers we re- ceive so many commendatory letters that we shall publish each week a fresh list of genuine. unsolicited testimonials and never publish the same one twice.
 From James Yemmeisler, Lacrosse. Wis: Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are do- ing me more good than anything I ever tried and I was so pleased with the re- suits that I gave away several boxes to my friends who have also had the same benefits.
 From Jacob Anthony. Portmurray. N. J.. have taken Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets with the best results. had dyspepsia. for six years. and had taken great deal of medicine, but the Tablets seem to taka right q hold and I feel good. 1 am a farmer and lime burner and I heartily recommend to everyone who has any trouble with his stomach to use these Tablets.
 From Mrs. NJ. K. West. Preston. Minn: have received surprisingly good effects from using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I gave one-half of my last box to a friend who also suffered from indigestion and she had the same good results.
 From Mrs. Agnes K. Ralston, Cadillac. Mich: l have been taking Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets and I am very much bet ter, and I feel very grateful for the great benefit I have received in SO short time.

 Marble Attracts Attention.

Talladega, January 13.-(Speclal.)-A young man named Parker Jagged the accommodation train last night at Cur rys six miles from here on the Southern road, intending to come to Talladega. Blinded by the headlight. and thinking the train was merely going to slow up instead of coming to a full stop, Parker made a dash for the train, and his foot striking against the end of a cross-tie, he fell. In falling, he threw out his left arm, unconsciously and the foremost trucks of the car passed over his wrist, lacerating it to a pulp He was brought to the city, where Dr. Reverdy Bishop. Dr. B. B. Sims. assisted by Dr. c. w. Vandiver. amputated the arm.

Montomery, January 13.-(Specia1. .)-As a whole there has been approval of the primary plan of the state democratic ex- ecutive committee adopted here last Tues day, so far as the men about the capi- tol are concerned. To be sure 1t has not been unanimous, but most of the offi- cers who will say anything at all agree that it was for the best in the light of conditions as they now exist. Though he did not go into a discussion of the pro visions of the report of the committee of five, the governor did say that he saw no reason to fail to approve it. Meeting unusual and extraordinary conditions it seemed to have gotten pretty well up to the duty of the hour he thought. The same line of ideas ran through the whole building Officials, most of the time retl- cent about innovations in politics. es- pecially, expressed satisfaction, and seem- ed to think that the committee met the situation in an adequate way. There is more criticism of the arrangement to select men for senatorial vacancies than any other feature of the plan, and from more than one reason. Some declare, of course. that it Is indelicate to prepare to fill dead mems shoes. and contend that dragging in the hearse," is an insult to the two men who are now serving the state in the Upper House of Congress, but most of those who talk of 1t seem to feel that while there is some reason for this position, yet 1t Is better to let the people say who are to serve them in case of a vacancy than to leave 1t to the whim of whoever happens to be gov ernor.
 Whatever the real truth may be, there is an idea prevalent that both the cand1- dates for governor have already in mind men whom they would appoint to the Senate if there should come time Tor either to decide upon it. Many well in- formed men seem to think that there is nothing to this, but the notion was so strongly entrenched as to get no- tice from the committee. One man has said that the attempt to force the can 'didates for governor to pledge themselves to appoint choice of the people for a vacancy is an intimation that in case he is elected he will not, as he Is bound In his oath to do, appoint the best man, but rather honor some personal or po- litical friend who is possibly not compe- tent This is met rule, by the broad statement and popular argument that the neonle have a right to a voice in the selection of men for so high an office. It has been reported in Montgomery, but not in such a way as to trace the re- mark, that one and possibly both of the senators endorse the idea. This, however, has not been verified.
 Whatever the general public may think of the plan as a whole, 1t is almost uni yersally thought that it makes the re- election of Senators Morgan and Pettus certain It cannot be denied that there has been all the time desire so general as to amount to almost unanimity that these two men who have stood for so much in Alabama be kept in their places as long as they cared to serve. but there was feeling that in case of retirement Or vacancy for other cause 1t was not right for the people to be excluded from the privilege of saying who should go in. Now 1t is quite certain that every county

cutting out a station named Aristo, Tor him, because of falling away of business.
 Even in the "Scrappy Seventh" there seems prospect of a walk over for John L. Burnett. This is a thing that has never happened up there since the inim- itable Colonel Denson .toted his own skillet several years ago. Populist and republicans have tried the souls of the democratic aspirants and other democrats have made it wonderfully interesting for leading members seeking the honor. How ever, 1t was bruited about at the last race that If he won that time there would not be any fight made on Burton this time. These agreements are so frequently broken that they must be taken with grain of salt, and it does not seem that the Hon. John l.. would be justified in staying as far away as Washington even and depending on all the gaps in the fence being kept closed.
 Judge Richardson may have a little trouble in the Eighth, but so far no one has made any showing of intention to dis place him. Following the example of his illustrious predecessor, Little Joe' Wheeler, the judge is constantly making good' in those ways pleasing to his dis trict. For instance. he gets in good service every time there is anything up for the Tennessee river, or effort made to utilize the power now going to waste fin the Muscle Shoals territory. He also takes stock in even the republican poli tics of his district, so that all classes are kept in a good humor.
 Though there is nothing of it in the papers it is pretty certain that the habit of the old man to send big lots of field and garden seeds has not been broken in the new. The only thing ''loaded' that has fallen to the lot of the gentleman from the Eighth lately is his movement for a new federal judge. his bill seeking new district rather than have an ad- ditional judge for the Northern and Mid dle districts. It has not yet been made manifest whether he is seeking to keep a Middle district man out of the job or is trying to fix 1t so the new territory will have, as it is now, more business than one man can possibly attend to. It has been said that Judge Thomas G. Jones of the federal bench of the North ern and Middle districts, will oppose the new district idea It is not known that he will not, but there is common sense in the idea that such an arrangement might suit him. In that event he would retain his salary of s6000 year for work at Montgomery, and if ordered to the Northern district to help out, would have his board paid, which is not done at this time It is also pretty certain that Judge Jones will not appear before the congress sional committed. as his views are well known already. Taylor, in the First; Hef1in in the Fifth, Bowie in the Fourth and Underwood in the Ninth, seem easy winners though it Is reported that possi- bly as many as two good fellows may go out after the mantle of MT. Taylor.
