Tuscaloosa, February 20-(Special J. Jenny DuvaI, young negro woman, shot and instantly killed John Wifis negro boy where she was living on the river row From what can be learned of the tragedy 1t seems that Linwood Duval, the husband of the woman who had separated from his wife and had returned to get clothes which he had left there. and after he had secured them he started for town. when the woman threatened to shoot him if he left the house. At this time the negro John appeared and in an effort to take the weapon from her it went off. the ball taking effect in his chest On his death bed he stated that the shooting was purely accidental.

 This morning at 10 o'clock V. B. Wil- lard and Miss Eloise Blackman, both of Holt, were united in wedlock at the home of the grooms sister. Mrs. F. M Robertson. on Tenth street. This mar riage is the culmination of most inter esting courtship. It seems that the par ents seriously objected to the marriage on account of the age of the bride, who is still a bright schoolgirl, and forbid the young man coming to the home of the young lady. This morning the young lady left as usual to take her art lesson at

Mr. Willard is a bright young man, holding a responsible posi- tion at Holt. while the young lady is most charming young woman. She is sister of MT.

 The many friends of Miss Estelle Bealle will be paned to learn of her serious ill., ness. For several days she has been suffering from a severe attack of typhoid fever. Her mother, Mrs. Shep Bealle. left this morning for Seottsboro, where Miss Bealle holds a prominent position in the Seottsboro Baptist college, to be at her bedside.
 Many of the people here became very much alarmed last week when 1t was learned that some twenty of the milch cows had died because of being fed with rotten COW feed and are still skeptical about drinking the milk. It is probable that the board of health will make an investigation.
 A great many social functions are book ed here and Tuscaloosa will be quite live ly until the Lenten days set in.

GADSDEN WANTS TO
 CATCH LYNCHERS
By Peculiar Coincidence There Is No Law In the State for Prosecuting
 Sheriffs.

Montgomery, February 20.-(Speclal.)- )-- The determination on the part of the governor to punish the lynchers of the negro at Gadsden seems to be lending it's influence at Gadsden. A gentleman from there last night gave it as his opinion that everything possible to catch the members and punish them would be done The governor will be sustained in every way and if 1t is possible the men who committed the outrage will have to an- swer to indictments. At the same time the gentleman said that so far there had not been breathed a suspicion of who 1t was and so far as could be heard no man could even suggest who were mem bers of the party He expressed doubt any of them though the people of the town and county hoped they would be able to do so.
 By a peculiar hook and crook there is no law in Alabama by which action can be taken against sheriff in case the governor believes he Is derelict in duty The new constitution placed impeachments of sheriffs in the hands of the courts. yet made no provision for the carrying out all he pleases and so he keeps short of actual criminal actions he is safe.

GAMBLING WITH DEATH.
What Many of Us Are Doing Three
 Times Day.

Therefore, if you feel your food lies like a lump of lead' on your stomach, beware! Your gastric juice is weak. It can't dispose of the food in time to pre- vent fermentation. Take something that will do it effectively, and at once Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the most powerful tablets in the world for the re- lief of all kinds of stomach trouble nausea, indigestion, the worst cases of dyspepsia, fermentation, bloaty feeling, sourness, heartburn and brash.
 One grain of an ingredient of these tab- lets will digest 5000 grains of food. Your stomach needs a rest at once. Stuarts s Dyspepsia Tablet will relieve your stom- ach of more than two-thirds of the work it has to do, digesting perfectly what ever food there is in your stomach.
 You can't do your work we'll or be cheerful, or have energy or vim or am- bition. when your stomach is bad. Make yourself feel good after a hearty meal. feel good all over, clear your mind and make you enjoy life, by taking Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Give your stomach a rest, so 1t can right itself, then you need fear nothing. You get these tablets anywhere for 50 cents a package.
 For every thing we get something is taken away. Every act pulls two ways. Some men in power dole out their souls for it. They can't have soul and power at the same time.
 And so in this quick-living age, most of us can't have energy and health at the same time. One or the other must be lost, and 1t is usually health.
 We know we are doing wrong and would like to reform, but we have a morbid fear of being laughed at if we aim to live and eat according to conscience and good sense.
 Some of us break away for awhile and enslave ourselves to diet. We read about the hardy Scotsman being fed on porridge and oatcake, making soldiers of muscle and dash, and how Caesars arm was fed on corn. But the diet doesn't last long. We quickly swing back into the great line, eating and drinking to full ness like the rest, eating anything and everything, at any time, and any way we find 1t. We say what is a stom- ach for If it isn't to obey the palate"
 But there is really no one rule appli- cable to everybody's stomach. What one man may eat another may not.
 But the dyspeptic should remember that the death list has dark shadow hover ing over 1t with a long bony finger point ing to "died of heart disease Physicians will tell us that there are few cases of heart disease that do not come from a stomach Arrangement.
 At every meal we may be brewing for ourselves a terrible case of dyspepsia It may come upon us after breakfast to- morrow morning or after that oyster sup per tomorrow night.
 Acute Indigestion means that you have even chances for death or life. That's the gamble you are taking That precious gastric juice decides. as rule, whether you continue to live or not.

LUMBERMEN IN SESSION

Montgomery, February 20.-(Special)- John W. Tomlinson of Birmingham, who came down today as member of the delegation to see the governor in the in- terest of S. D. Weakley of Birmingham, for chief justice of the supreme court said that he had been solicited by a number of friends to make the race for the United States senatorial succession and was not certain that he would not agree to do so. If he does decide to run he will make the railroad rate issue par amount believing that this is the most important In a campaign for the Senate, even more important than in the state
 Colonel Tomlinson believes that the ideas of MT. Bryan are now about to be adopted in the United States and is still of the opinion that the Nebraskan will be selected to lead the national democra- ey at the next convention. The railroad rate idea, therefore, is to be a very prom inent one at the capital of the country for some time and Colonel Tomlinson thinks he will be able to secure a great many friends by the emphasizing of his views along this line, coinciding as they do, with those held by Mir. Bryan.
 Colonel Tomlinson is well known as an attorney and man of affairs. He made the race for governor and had a fine following. He said today that while he had not yet made up his mind fully 1t was his impression now that he would be in the race.
