PROGRESS MADE
 IN SO YEARS
Druggist E. c. Fowler Says One of the Most Noted Examples Is In
 Medicine.

While electricity has supplanted the old-fashioned tallow candle for lighting purposes, almost turning night into day; while it has opened up our great country by a network of electric railways. while all kinds of machinery have been invented to do the work of hosts of people, we have just noted an example in the field of medicine" said E. G. Fowler.
 Fifty years ago every one knew of the latent medicinal properties con tained in cod liver oil; physicians everywhere prescribed 1t, but thous- ands could not take 1t on account of the curative, strengthening properties it contained. and in many cases where tbev could take it it would upset the stomach so it could do no good.
 Now all this is changed continued MT. Fowler. Science has shown us way to separate the curative medicinal elements which exist in the cod's liver from the oil or useless part and given lis Vinol It contains every one of these medicinal clements, actually talk en from fresh cods' flyers, but without a drop of oil or grease to nauseate and upset the stomach and retard its work. Vinol contains no sickentng drugs, everything in 1t Is printed on every bottle.
 We have never sold in our store medicine equal to Vinol to give strength and renewed vitality to the aged, build up the rundown, tired and debilitated, make the weak strong, cure chronic coughs, colds and build up the convalescent.
 7"It is because we know so we'll the medicinal power of this new cod liver oil preparation that we freely of- fer to return the money in every case where it fails to give satisfaction" E. c. Fowler. Druggist.

April fs, 1908, will in at least one re- spect be. notable day Tn the city of Tuscaloosa. On that date Judge Thomas c. Jones will open the session of the first term of the United States Court to be held in that place since the year lS47. The machinery of a federal court will begin grinding out justice. ana once again Tuscaloosa will feel that 1t has received the recognition which in former days its position as the capi- tai of Alabama entitled 1t to receive.
 almost three score years have passed since. the last term of United states Court was brought to close m tnc city lying beside the Black Warrtor river. More than twice the average lifetime of man, if the statistics of the government are to be believed. mas passed since the Federal judiciary was removed from that place. And Tn the period of time that has. elapsed, the ms tory of the nation has been made. while the State of Alabama has grown rom a wild. sparsely settled section into one of the most flourishing members of the Union.
 A few citizens of Tuscaloosa. old now and gray, may remember in the barefoot days of their boyhood when the United States Court sat there last but they will be few indeed. All the men who sat Tn tndt CouEt HoNo eoi.~ to their resting places. Many nave been forgotten. and the names or only a few recall to the mind of the oldest inhabitant the faces of the living men.
 On the fourth day of December. ls4t, Judge william Crawford. one Of the first Federal judges to be appointed ID Alabama, announced the close or the fall term of the United States Court Tn Tuscaloosa. At that time 1t was ev- pected that another term would be held In the following spring. But the spring term was never held. Following the changing capital from Tuscaloosa to Montgomery, the seat of Federal power ssmoved to this city also. The next lime Judge Crawford sat on the Federal bench 1t was in Montgomery, and the date was December 5. 1S4S.
 When the last term of Federal court was held in Tuscaloosa that place was a small village. Huge and dark Tor ests lay about it. Barely 1000 people lived in the town. and the low framed houses and country stores were the on- Iy buildings that flanked the man thorouxhfare. Today TUSCALOOSA boasts of over 1000 inhabitants It has handsome, substantial buildings. several important manufacturing plants, paved streets. and popuiace or

 The Anderson horse was running away at terrific speed In a westerly direction on Adams street. No one was in the buggy. At this time. a buggy boy of one of the stables was driving the Jackson horse and buggy up the South Perry street hill to the home of Mir. Jackson. At the intersection of the two thoroughfares. the teams met in collision. Both animals were thrown violently to the ground.
 The horse owned by MT. Jackson was severely hurt internally and 1t was several minutes before he could he made to stand on his feet so that he could be taken 10 a veterinary hospital for treatment. The Anderson horse re- ceived several bad cuts and bruises about his legs. but 1t was thought his injuries were not of such a serious nature.
 The buggy boy escaped uninjured and neither of the vehicles were greatly damaged.
 The veterinary surgeon attending the fine. black horse of MT. Jackson said that he did not yet know whether the animals injuries would be fatal He was hopeful that he could cure the horse.

BACK TO TUSCALOOSA GOES
 THE COURT AFTER SIXTY YEARS

enterprising. energetic, ambitious men,.
 The United States Court followed the State capital. In 1846 the seat of gov ernment of Alabama was removed to Montgomery. Previous to that time, Tuscaloosa, and still earlier St. Steph- and territory. But when the center of importance in state affairs was remov- ed, the national capital of the State fol- lowed suit. and Tuscaloosa, the little town on the edge of the forest lost the prominent position which before that time 1t had held.
 The records of the United States Court regarding the first term held in Montgomery are of absorbing interest. Under the date of December 1s4s, it is shown that venire facias had been is- sued for the following men as grand jurors: Albert I. Pickett, Turney T.. Holt, Daniel Maloy. David Campbell. Philemon D. Sayre. William M. Marks, William Blackshear. Wiggins W. Whit aker. Jesse P. Taylor. Mathew c. Stokes, James H. Kettles, Asa Garter, Philip A. wray, Samuel c. Hale. James R. Dillan, Edward s. Leonard, William B. Bell, Israel Roberts. Michael Els berry, John Nick1es, Benatah s. Blob, Charles S. Gunter, and Thomas Welsh.
 The following were the men sum- moned for the petit jury: John c. Courtney, Amos Jones, John B. Garrett, William A. Cook, William P. Van Des- veer, Sterling E. Harrison, Berry c. Owen, William c. Robertson, Green M Wood, William Taylor. Hazzard P. Hale. Elliott c. Hannon, Lewis R. Pipe. Luth- CT H. Dickerson. John Farrier, John F. Figh, Thomas B. Bunton, Moses Gar rison, Jackson Woodley, Thomas M Cowles, Henry M Hood, Thomas O. Glascock, James Crews and Alexander McDade.
 Of the men on these two lists, none are living today. Many of the names. however, are we'll known throughout Alabama, and their descendants are liv- ing today, among the most honored citizens, not only of Montgomery. but of a score of smaller places in differ ent parts of the State.
 The regular term of the criminal di- vision of the United States Court, which according to law. should be opened on May 1, will not be convened until af- ter the conclusion of the term at Tus- caloosa. How much this will postpone the Montgomery term cannot be ac- curately estimated at present. but it is thought the criminal session will not begin before the first day of June. with a. possibility that it will be postponed until even later.

REMAINS OF STUDENTS TAKEN
 FROM WARRIOR.
Memorial Exercises are Held in Front of Clark Hall, and the Bodies are Shipped to Their
 Homes.

Tuscaloosa, April 10.-tSpecial.)- )-The students of the State University spent a sleepless night last night on the lonely banks of the Warrior River, where their comrades, Tom Matthews and George Eubanks, were swallowed up while fishing near the rapids at Lock yesterday afternoon.
 All through the night camp fires were kept burning along the banks of the river, where helpless companions sat with bowed heads and saddened hearts while others weary and without sleep. spent the night dragging for the bodies which were found this morning at S:30 some hundred feet below the falls and within ten feet of each other.
 Matthew's body was the first which was found, which was caught by a hook held by a student. James o. Dill lard of Huntsville. The body of Eu- bank was discovered by William E. a scratch upon the body of either of the victims. and 1t is now thought that they were not caught under the rapids close to the rock or they would have shown marks from the rough stone The two bodies were immedi- ately placed in conveyance and brought to the city. The remains of Eubank were carried to the home of Mrs H. H. Cribbs, who Is an aunt to the deceased while the body of Mat thews was carried to the home of Capt. W. A.

Thousands Die of 1t Every Year.

Kidney disease is the enemy we have most to fear as a result of the feverish restlessness of modern civilization.

 The question of the improvement or the city wharf was brought up at the meeting of the City Council last night. At a previous meeting of the Council a special committee was appointed 70 look into the matter and Mayor Atkins was made chairman. At the meeting of the Council last night one of the Councilmen asked what had become or this committee and if it had report to make. Mayor Atkins stated that on account of the recent high water the commit tee had been unable so far to accomp- fish very much. but that certain steps had been taken and he thought that during the coming summer the wharf would be put in splendid condition. He stated that a few days ago he had made a personal inspection of the banks of the river and found that near the wharf they were slowly crumoiing away.
 When he made this discovery he had entered into communication with Pres fdent wickersham of the Western Rail- way of Alabama, as that road had sev- eral tracks on the bank which was gradually washing away MT. Wicker sham had conversation with the Mayor, and said that he would within a short time bring Government en- gineer to this city and see what steps
