To be such . successful wife, to re- tain the love and admiration of her husband. to inspire him to make the ~most of himself. should be woman's constant study,
 If woman 6nds that her energies are Tagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes. she has backache, headaches, bearing down pains, nervousness, irregularities or the blues, she should start st once to build up her system by tonic with specific powers. such as Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound.
 Following we publish by request . letter from . young wife:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
 Ever since my child was born have suf- fered, as hope few women ever have. with in- dammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. 1t affected my stomach so could not enjoy my meals, and half nay time was spent in bed.
 t.Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me a well woman, and feel so grateful that am glad to write and tell you of my marvellous recovery. It brought me health, new life and vitality H--Mrs. Bessie Ainsley, 611 South 10th Street. Tacoma, Wash.
 What Lydia K. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley 1t will do for every sick and ailing woman.
 If you have symptoms you don't un- derstand write to Mrs pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia K Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and always helpful.

 On the authority of the Attorney General of the United States. District Attorney Erastus J. Parsons yesterday had expunged from the docket of the Federal Court forty-three peonage and conspiracy cases. <
 large per centage of the cases were against John w. Pace of Taiiapoosa County, who was convicted and sem fenced to the penitentiary from which he was later pardoned. He was also sentenced in the eases which have just been wiped off the docket, but tho sem tences were to run eoncurrentiy.
 In the other cases the defendants had died or had disappeared or conviction was otherwise an impossibility. All of these. some of them in which indict- ments were found several years ago, were mol proesed.
 Silas Stern of Eufaula, Barbour County charged with violation of the pension laws. came in yesterday and on paying a fine of $l00 and costs he was released. Another case against him was mol pressed. with tampering with the malls, was mol pressed on account of the death of the leading witness for the govern ment.

HESTER IS IN JAIL
NO EFFORT MADE TO PROVIDE
 THE s3,000 BOND.
Mrs. Hester Has Talk With Judge Jones About Sentence of Her Husband for Robbipg the
 Mails

No definite steps have been taken to secure the release of Eugene Hester, the former railway mall clerk whom \ jury in the Federal Court on Monday found guilty of robbing his own car. He is in the Montgomery County jail
 Mrs. Hester came from Opelika yes- terday and had a talk with Judge Thomas G. Jones. asking that the seh- tence of her husband be made as light as possible. No one has gone surety for the convicted man on the $3,005 bond which the court required him to make before consenting to his release pending the disposition of writ of er- TOT appealing the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals.
 Relatives of Hester have approached District Attorney Erastus J. Parsons, who wove the net of circumstantial ev- idence which resulted in Hester's con viction. asking that he do not request that the court irApose a heavy penalty on Hester.
 Judge Jones has not announced when he will pass saptence The law pro- vides that the penalty may be not less than one nor more than five years on each count of the indictment. The sentence on each count may be made to run concurrently, thus making d sem tence of one year and one day possi- bility. Hester was found guilty of four counts of the indictment.

HOME TO ALABAM.
GOVERNOR JELKs WILL ISSUE 4
 PROCLAMATION.
If Bfrmingham Delegates Can secure Favorihle Railroad Rates te
 All Roints In state Execu- tive Win Acs.

Birmingham ia to have the Statcl homecoming The matter was decided yesterday. when committee Of nine. led by ". r. c. Harding. as chairman and George B. Ward. the mayor of the Magic City, called upon Governor Jelks. asking that he grant the request made by the Commercial Club of that place some time ago, to Issue procia- nation for the homecoming, in Rirm- ingham, the week beginning Octones 1b.
 After long consultation on the mat ter. the Governor agreed to accede to the request, of the Birmingham dele roads of the State can be persuaded to grant number of noncssslons whinh the Birmingham people are now asking or them
 While the nature of these requests was not made public. 1t is understood from an authoritative source. that these include the granting of one cent rate to all Alapamians attending the affair. not only to Birmingham, out also to any other part of the State rr which they may wish to visit.
 Tn this manner. has the Governor cut the Gordian knot which has been puzzling him for the last month. Dur ing that time. there have been apple cations before him for the State event from both, Montgomery and Birmins- ham, The Capital City wanted the homecoming to be held in the logical center of the State. Governor Jeiks had been approached on the matter be- fore the requst was made from Birm- ingham. The situation to him was adilemma.
 Since the announcement of Birming. hams request for the proclamation. however. Montgomery citizens have made small effort to urge thessefection of the place. No plans have been made for the affair, and no further er- forts have been made to secure the event. BirminS1ani. on the other hand. has gone on steadily with It's arrangements for the homecoming, and has made elaborate preparations for ians
 The visit of the committee of ninc yesterday. brought the matter to a head Explanations were made. to tho Governor Of the plans which have been laid, and which have been partially carried out.
