If there had been nothing else Tn the cases to attract attention the mere fact that one of the witnesses appeared without a smile after Police Captain Miles Smith had called tho name 'Oid Man Frixzle'' would have aroused tue Ieshargic notice of idlers.

 PERSONAL INSPECTION.
Track Was Reported Rough For the Big Engines On Western and
 President Made Trip Hn Them.

It is possible that there is not a rail road president in the United States who looks more closely after. the me- chanical features of his road than President Charles A Wickersham or the Western. In the last few months two of the big 100 ton engines order ed bv' the Western from the Baldwin Locomotive works have been received and are in use on the through passen- ger runs between Montgomery and At .ianta. Some complaint having been made about the engines running little rough President Wickersham who reached Montgomery yesterday morning decided to personally. inspect them. so last night when engine 37 started out with train 36 for Atlanta the party, In the big cab with the engineer. were President WickershaTn, Superintendent Cox. Master Mechanic walsh and Gem eral Forman Attridge of the local shops. They went as far as Loacha- polka where they met train No. 37 with the companion engine to the S7-No. 15 and returned in the cab with the en- gineer.
 The Louisville and Nashville trains from Nashville are still late getting in to Montgomery on acctunt of the trou- ble at Brooks Gap. The tunnel through the rocks there vii solve the double track problem for eight miles at least, as when it is completed both the old and new lines will be used, the present line. for passenger and light freight traffic and the tunnel or new line for heavy freight business.
 The Western Railroad have bought 80, 900 cross ties from the Costello Lum- Der Company near Mobile which will be delivered immediately, the ties to be use in keeping the track between Montgomery and Atlanta in perfect condition.

and that on the installment plan she had paid him $2. The defendant came to her house, she said, and when she declined to return the fur she had par tia1ly paid for, he struck her three times.
 After her came divers persons who testified to having heard various noises indicative of a difference of opinion but no sound that might suggest which of two persons in a closed house might be guilty of striking an unseen blow.
 But when old Man Frizzly was call' ed and a dignifed colored person. hoary with age and gentle of speech and mien, entered. the court had hope which was promptly dashed with the bitterness of disappointment

Stomach Sufferers
 Squander Millions
In Search of Relief.

The world is full of disordered stom- achs and 90 per cent of the money spent upon physicians and drugs goes in an attempt E9 cure the stomach.
 People are made to believe that in order to gain health they must doctor their stomachs and use cathartics. So the doctor gets his fee for the stomach treatment and the druggist for the physic, until the savings of life time are exhausted and yet no cure.
 Let's be reasonable.
 The sick stomach is in every case the result of over eating. hurried mas tication and improper choice of foods. The mucous lining all the way down the food tract loses its sensitivenesst muscles fail to respond. They do not churn the food as they should. The glands no longer give out gastric juice to dissolve the food and render it ca- pablo of assimilation. The man has be- come a dyspeptic.
 There Is one sure way and only one to bring positive relief. Put into that stomach of yours the very elements liquid form. It takes pepsin, diastase golden seal and other ferments to ac- complish this. he healthy stomacn contains these elements. The dyspeptic stomach lacks part or all of them. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Is made uP of just what the dyspeptic stomach lacks-natYre's digestives.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not medicine, not 6 drug, not a cathartlc. They do not cure anybody of anything but l. pepsia and Indigestion ana such Ailments as arise from poorly
 While they digest the food the stom ach recuperates. The mucous mem. rrane is coming out of its stupof' the gastric juice is coming to the sur face, the muscles are regaining tnelL oower. Every organ of the body taxes on new life, the skin gains color anS the eyes are no longer tinged WILD 'FNhv doctor and why drug yourself!
