Birmingham May 1.--fSpecial. )-- The trial of Alexander R. Chisolm. former paving teller of the First Ma tional Bank of this city, charged with nisappropriating and embedding in the Federal court. Judge O. R..
 After beink called to order, Judge Hlndley announced the case and the formation of the jury began. But little time was lost in performing this task. the following being accepted for Pate. R. s. Hickman. J. D. Turner, R. F. Tingle, John Johns. J. B. Mase. Tram Jones. J. E. Hyche. E. P. Alex ander. T. s. Atkins and James Cope land.
 The witnesses were called and a number of prominent citizens respon- ded to their names. The indictment. which contains forty and more counts. was read and the government an- nounced ready. Captain Frank s.. White, counsel for Chisolm, entered a plea of not guilty but admitted that the defendant took the money under the hallucination that he could corner the cotton market of the world and make millions of dollars. In other words. the insanity plea was entered. The first witness summoned was w. P. G. Harding. President of the First National Bank, who told of the de- falcation, which amounted to nearly sI00. 900 and of the detention and ar rest of Chisolm on his return from his vacation to Atlantic City.

MT. c. B. Fizer, Mt Sterling, Ky. writes:
 "I have suffered with kidney and bladder trouble for ten years past.
 Last March l commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used 1t since, nor have l felt pain.
 T believe that I am well and therefore give my highest commenda- ton to the curative qualities of Peru na."
 Pe-ru-na for Kidney Trouble
 Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Onta- rio, Can., writes:
 q had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, In fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
 'rhis summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna. so I wrote to you and began at once to take Peruna and Manalin.
 T took only two bottles of Peruns and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time.
 T feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna."
 It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance.
 Peruna is exactly this sort of a remedy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys service at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens.

MEN RESCUED FROM MINE COM-
 PLETELY EXHAUSTED.
Did Not Believe They Would Ever Be Rescued But All Of Prisoners Kept Up Good
 Sufrtta.

Johnston, Pa, May 1.-Taken from
 the dark corridor of coal mine where
 they had been imprisoned for over one
 hundred hours, the seven men taken
 from the Barwynd- White Mine No. ss at Faustwell. are lying in the Windber Hospital. physically exhausted. The men were reached by rescuers about 10 o'clock last night, but were not brought out until an early hour
 today, the physicians fearing that a sudden recession from the nervous strain might have serious effect. Immediately on being brought out all the men wanted to go to their
 homes and were taken to the hospital
 under protest. No food was given to
 them at first. but a stimulant in the
 form of brandy and water was admin fstered.
 Soon after arriving at the hospital
 the ex&austed men fell into a sound sleep and are only awakened when
 the nurses administer hot broths and nourishment.
 The hospital physicians said today
 that the men would be able to be about
 in a few days. but would be a weak
 and unable to resume their regular
 duties for a week or more.
 We knew the men on the outside were at work pumping out the wate. In an endeavor to release us. We kept a careful watch and could note the water going down inch by inch. There was nothing we could do to help and we all chaffed under this We could hear the tapping on the pipe
 and 1t meant for us to keep up our courage" said Foreman Bolya- "we always signalled back when we heard the tapping. All the men had
 full dinner buckets when they came
 into the mine Friday morning, but the
 food in these was soon exhausted and
 we felt the bangs of hunger keenly.

DANGER IS PASSED
PARLIAMENT WILL NOT BE DIs- SOLVED BY CZAR
Premier Stolypin Declares That Drum Head Courts Martial Must Cease-Lfberal Circles are
 Still In q Panic.

St. Petersburg, May IA note pub lished in the semi official Rossia today dealing with President Golovin's state ment in the lower house yesterday that the war minister had been notified that the abolition of drum head courts mar tia1 was to be discussed declared that the minister was entirely unaware that the parliamentary committee proposed not only the abolition of drum head courts martial, but that the cases of those condemned to penal servitude by such courts should be transferred to the ordinary courts.
 Liberal circles are so panic stricken over the recent events in the lower house that the Rossia's announcement has again revived the rumors of the approaching dissolution of parliament. In order to clear up the situation a correspondent of the Associated Press called on a cabinet officer, who is re- ported to favor dissolution and re- ceived an absolute assurance that dis solution is not contemplated at pres ent, that the Zuraboff incident is con- sidered closed and that the paragraph in the law providing for the abolition of drum-head courts martial will simp- ly be disregarded as unconstitutional
 The minister did not conceal his hos tility to the lower house. but admitted that ulouerate COunseiS are proFaH- ing.
 The tone of an editorial in the Novoe Vremya today, which paper Is admit tedly the weather vane of official sem timent. confirms the expression that the danger of dissolution has passed. The papers says that the two execu- tive sessions of the house proved that the majority of the members are access sible to reason and that parliament will devote itself to productive work. The Novoe Vremya adds that the un- pleasant incidents during the debate were largely the result of inefhciency of the president
 Premier Stolypin has sent a circular to the governors announcing on the authority of the funamental law or constitution that the drum head courts martial will cease May B. Simultane- ously War Minister Rudiger issued an order forbidding for all time the pub Iication of names of those who com posed the drum head courts martial or the records of these courts.

 A. R. Forsyth. former assistant cashier at the bank, and Thomas Bow ron, also assistant cashier, were among the witnesses.
 Captain White is not cross question: ing the witnesses much, and indica- tions are that the case will be con- cluded before the end of the week.
 The investigation as to the sanity of the defendant may take up most of ths time. As soon as the Government has shown the embezzlement, 1t Is probable that some testimony will be taken to show that the prisoner has been sane all along.
 The father, mother, brothers and sfsters of the defendant were in the court room constantly today.

Prominent Attorney of Texas Shot
 Down by Physician.
 Beaumont, Texas, May l.--A dis patch from Center, Texas, says:
 Carroll B. Short, a prominent at- torney of this city, was shot and killed last night by Dr. Buck Paul, as he stepped from train. The shooting grew out of feud of several months standing.
 In December last a brother of pr. Paul was shot and killed by a negro in the employ of Short and his brother while leading a posse which were att tempting to arrest the negro. It was alleged at the time that the killing was instigated by the Shorts as an outgrowth of political matters.
 Public feelings ran high and 1t was necessary to call out two companies of militia to prevent mob violence. The negro was tried convicted and hanged within a space of few hours.
 The shooting last night was direct result of the former affair and 1t is now feared that still further trouble will follow the last tragedy.
