NEW FREIGHT TRAINS
LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE IN-
 cREAsEs ITS FACILITIES.
Business In and Out of PenHacOla So Greatly Increased that Step Had to Be Taken
 Immediately.

Pensacola, Fla. Dec. 1s.--(special.)- )- The big increase, in the freight busi- ness of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, especially to and from points east of the city, has necessitated the addition of two more freight trains. one running through to, River Junction, which Is known as No. 25, and return ing as No. k7, and the other t0 Florala, leaving the main line of the F. and A. division at Crestview. and taking the Yellow River branch to Florala.
 The latter freight. which is known as No 27, going and No. 2S returning will be a local train. and 1t is ex- pected will handle an immense amount of business The addition of these two trains will give local wholesale mer- chants much better opportunities to handle their business in that section, and the quicker handling of freight will also be much more satisfactory to purchasers.
 The movement of freight over this line, especially out of the city. has been exceptionally heavy during the past few months, and the company. in addition to adding two trains to han dle the business is also constructlng an immense forwarding depot to ahJoin the one which Is now being used for both receiving and forwarding.

bassador here, Mir. Tower. who brough, about the appointment of the commis' sion and that to him must be ascribed this stroke of statesmanship.
 The conservative party newspaper have assumed quite a different tone toward the United States than pre-. viously.
 At a meeting of the conservative members of the Reichstag last night both Count Won KanitE and Count Won Stolbers, the leaders of the party said 1t was the duty of the conserva' tives to work in the interest of a mu- tually advantageous trade arrangement with the United States and for the most friendly political relations with thai country. because Grmany's view Ol the situation must take in not only the European States. but that great power in the Western Hemisphere"
 The conservatives form the back bone of the agrarian interests and thu changed attitude of the party is an interesting political phenomenon, indi- eating increasing harmony between the strict government view and the views Ot the landed aristocracy regarding ths foreign policy of Germany.

 Selma. Dec. IS.
 The. whiskey question was the all- absorbing topic of conversation here today. The petition presented to the meeting of the City Council last night by the Ministers Union was surprise to everyone as 1t was not dreamed that such bombshell would be exploded.
 The strong backing which the peti- tion received has also come In for com siderable comment and it Is now be- lieved that Selma is on the verge or the greatest whiskey fight in her his tory.
 By some it Is believed that the peti- tion was a grand atand play upon the part of the Ministers Union. But if 1t was 1t will bear it's fruit in the near future as many believe. The practt- caIly unanimous backing which the pe- tition received from the medical fra ternity shows the public how strong and we'll organized was the movement started by the ministers of the city.
 That the Council did not refuse to grast more licenses for the operation of saloons than they did Is also sur prise to many. But with each retail license granted there was offered an amendment by Councilman Agee which

RUPTURE NOT PROBABLE.
D-Japanese Fishing Agreement

RussO-Japanese Fishing Agreement
 About settled Upon.
 St. Petersburg. Dec, 1S.-The Russo Japanese negotiations, the status of which last week were highly unsatis- factory, have entered on favorable stage and a rupture is no longer antic- ipated.
 It is believed that satisfactory arr rangement, defining the extent to which the Japanese shall enjoy fishing rights on the Siberian coast, and also giving the Japanese the privilege of ae- auiring stations ashore for drying fish, will be attainable without the suggest ed appeal to the good offices of other powers.
 The Russians realize that a failure of the negotiations would open the door for Japanese fishermen to raid the fish ing grounds at will and as the iittoral is most sparsely settled and cnly few vessels are available for patrolling it, this is the strongest argument in fave or Russia granting concessions.

 tempt of Court.
 Dothan, Dec 1S.-(Special.) )--W. E. Hughes, prominent photographer, got himself mixed up with the power of the courts yesterday, with the result that he spent six hours in the jail of Houston County ruminating.
 Hughes was defendant in a case in the County Court; wherein he was charged with trespass after warning. Several times during the progress of the case he annoyed the court by in- terruption, and finally Judge Leslie, who was presiding. imposed small fine as punishment
 This called forth some remark which did not please the court. and larger fine was tackled on, with a warning from Judge Leslie that If the offense were repeated the offender would go to jail for contempt. At this Juncture Mir. Hughes vouchsafed the information that he would kill the first man who laid hands upon him. The laying on of hands immediately took place, and Mir. Hughes was escorted to the county bastile, where he served out a sem tence of six hours.

The mucous coating of the stomach and intestines has lost its power of secreting the gastric juice Gan impor- tant factor in digestion), the muscles of the middle coating are correspond ingly Hfeless in grinding up the food and as a result, the food lies in your stomach fermenting, poisoning the blood. irritating the nerves and break ing down the system.
 something must be done to arouse the digestive organs to action. Stuart's s Dyspepsia Tablets alone have been found capable of digesting the food for the unhealthy stomach. They contain diatase, pepsin and other digestive agents which the stomach itself pOsv sesses when in health. These agents digest the food for the stomach and give the stomach a chance 10 rest and regain it's normal powers.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a patent medicine, the formula for their preparation having been made public and known to 10000 physicians in the United States and Great Britain. By government tests, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been shown not only to contain no harmful ingredients, but to possess digestives of higher purity than found in any other preparation.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are recom- mended by physicians everywhere, and cau be bought of any druggist or dt- rect from the manufacturers at 5O cents per box.
