Democratic Committee Would Not Take
 up DemOpOlIs Contest.
 Demopolis, March 13.--(Special.) )-- The city hall was filled yesterday with a big crowd of representative citizens who had gathered there to listen to the proceedings in the con1 test of the recent municipal primary election, at which, by the alleged yot- ing of persons whose qualifications would not measure up to the standard, as laid down in the law governing elections, MT. John B. Meriwether was nominated for Mayor of Demopolis by 8 majority of few votes over Col. Norman c. Winn.
 In the contest MT Meriwether was represented by Col. B. F. Fillmore and Henry McDaniel, of this city and MT. De Groffenried, of Greensboro. Senator H. T. Reese, of Dallas county. and Capt. B. G. Wilson, of this city represented Col. Winn.
 The first passage at arms was the presentation by Mir. Meriwether's coun- sel. of document denying the Juri- diction of the present executive com mittee. This committee was elected at the last primary election, and con sists of John c. Webb, W. E. Michael. Jr., and J. s. Brasfield.
 1t was also claimed that no law governing contests Tn HluAlclpat prl- mary elections was on the statute books. and therefore. there was no legal way of proceeding.
 Colonel Winns attorneys contention was that the present executive com mittee was the only one to properly sit on the case. and that full power was vested in the party organization by which to regulate and sit in judg ment on all affairs affecting the party, and that in this instance the power and authority Is vested in the present executive committee to ham, de this contest.
 Very eloquent and able arguments were made by both sides and at their conclusion the committee went into executive session for the purpose of deciding whether or not they had the right and proper qualification to sit on the case. At the end of a few mo- ments they announced that they had reached a decision, and the chairman, Capt John c. Webb, stated that they had decided that they had no author ity.
 This of couse, had the effect of stop ping all proceedings before this trI- bunal. and 1t Is not yet known just what steps. if any, will be taken by the friends of Colonel Winn.

 Kansas City Journal.
 A government employe. who has spent several years in rhe Wild West" recently visited the haunts or his childhood in the East. He has re- turned to Indian Territory to look for a quiet spot, where life may be en- loved without fear of death. Upon ar- irving in Washington he called at the Raleigh Hotel to see a friend. While presenting his card he was startled by the pistol shots which killed eN-Sena~ tor Brown of Utah The Western man caught a train and made for Con- necticut. stopping at Greenwich. As he entered the hotel where he expec- ted to stay, a bride of two days killed her husband by jabbing a nail file into his eye. Again the Westerner fled. Ar irving in New York city he was at tracted by a man running madly down the street with a pistol in his hand. On reaching the elevated road the man raised the pistol to his head and ended his life. The traveller hastily returned to Washington, and there accepted an invitation from friend. who lives in Virginia, to spend few days In the country. He reached the town of Culpepper just in time to be- hold two brothers surrendering them- selves to the law, after firing thirty two shots into a brother in law, who had married their sister an hour be- fore. That settled It. The Westerner has returned to his wild and woolly home to calm his nerves and get some sleep.

Mrs, E. M. Harris, Dellwood, Wis, writes:
 After following your advice and using Peruna and Manalin. was cured of cafarrh of the nose, throat and stomach, from which had suffered for several years. When I commenced taking Peruna I could not make my bed without stopping to rest. Now I do all my work, and am in good health.
 T recommend this valuable remedy to all suffering from any disease of the stomach"
 It is doubtful if there is any other remedy in the world that could have done better work than this. A remedy that can do this sort Of work ought to be in every household Peruna Is doing these things al over the United States. The blessing that 1t has been to an untold multitude of women will never be known. Only a very small per cent of such cases will ever make known their experience.

Miss Elizabeth Lemm, Kimbai, Minn., writes:
 Tt gives me pleasure to inform you about my health. I can never express my thanks to you, and can never re- commend Peruna high enough for all the good 1t has done me.
 T have had catarrh of the lungs in the worst way and went 70 different doctors, but without success. They all claimed I had consumption, which l really thought myself, for. I was all run down and had no appetite what ever. I could not sleep was always weak and tired, and at times pains in my lungs, especially on the left side.
 T gave Peruna trial took about fifteen bottles and am entirely cured. Before I started to take Peruna l weighed s9 pounds. now I weigh 135. Thanks to Peruna.
 Such a story as this shows that Pe- runa is a very efficacious remedy.

A question of more than usual inter- est was settled this morning when the County Attorney rendered an opinion as to the transfer of voters from one city precinct to another. The ap- proach of the city election caused many voters who had moved from one pre- cinct to another to desire to vote in the precinct fin which they now reside and they made application to the su- pervisor of registration for a certifi- cate, but that official referred them to the County Commissioners. The Coun- ty Attorney was requested by the Conn missioners to pass upon the matter and he did, stating that voters must be transferred by the supervisor of reg istration where the proper showing was made by them that they had re- moved.

Republicans want voice.

Republicans of the city are planning some means by which they can partici- pate in the White Democratic primar- ies which occur here April and May ?, when city officers are nominated to be voted for June 4. The Republicans
 make the claim that they are inter ested in the welfare of the city and should be allowed to vote for the can didates in the primary.
 This they vii probably be allowed to do, provided they promise to support the nominees of the primaries in the election of June 4. The Republicans, many of whom are large real estate holders. while desiring to participate in the primaries do not wish to do so if by so doing 1t would effect their standing, and in order that there may be concerted action among them in this city meeting Is to be held tomorrow night, and if they decide not to vote in the primary 1t is possible that a Republican city ticket will be pat out for the une election.
