THE, PENALTY OF OVERWORK.

ney Pills. the great kidney remedy that has cured so many of your neighbors. It has given thousands of working men and women strong. sound backs for their daily work.
 Montgomery Proof.
 W. M. Hudson. living at 12 Madison Avenue Montgomery, Ala, says: T am glad to state that I have received much benefit from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. About three years ago I began suffering from a disordered con- dition of the kidneys and intense back ache and dizzy spells. No matter what I did or what I took or used 1t was all the same, could get nothing to relieve me. I tried many so-called kidney remedies. plasters and liniments but none that I used did more than afford me temporary relief and as soon as discontinued their use I would be just as bad as before. It was not until had got to that point where I was in pain all the time both day and night. sometimes so I could not sleep, that I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and com menced using them Had I known of them before, 1t would have saved me many a dollar and many an hours pain I began improving almost from the start; every dose helped me and took only four boxes when was cured. They relieved me entirely of pains, headaches, dizzy spells and kidney dis- turbance and know that have a won- derful remedy in Doan's Kidney Pills. I am glad to attest to their merits"

RIVER SEASON OPENS
STEAMERS BRING COTTON CARGoEs
 TO MOBILE.
Improvements Made at Wharf and Ad- ditionaI Boats Building Give Idea of Preparations Being
 Made for Heavy Trahic.

Mobile, Aug. s1.-(special. )-The cotton season with the river steamers may be said to have opened today when fifty bales of new cotton were brought to the city.
 The steamer American brought down twenty-one bales of the f1eecy staple early this morning and the city of Mobile coming in later. also from the Alabama River, had twenty-five bales. The bay steamer Caloosa, coming over from Daphne, brought four bales.
 Improvements have been made at the river boat wharf recently in prepara- tion for the cotton season. and the wharfage room will probably be ample for the river cotton unloaded here. All reports from up river bottoms indi- cate that the seasons crop will be a big one in spite of the early backs and steamboat men are anticipating a record breaking fall business.
 The fact that steamer is building in Kentucky for use on the Alabama another steamer is in process of con- struction here. and agents are out on search for still another large boat for river traffic. gives some idea of the rlans that are being made to handle the fall river traffic.

FRESH AT MIGHT.
If one Uses The Right Kind Of Food.

If One Uses The Right Kind Of Food
 If by proper selection of food one car feel strong and fresh at the end of g days work, 1t is worth while to know the kind of food that will produce this result.
 A school teacher of Media, Kan, says in this connections: T commenced the use of Grape-Nuts food i've months ago. At that time my health was so poor that thought I would have to give up my work altogether. l was rapidly losing in weight, had little appetite. was nervous and sleepless and experienced, almost constantly. a feeling of exhaustion. I tried various remedies without good results, then ] determined to give particular atten- tion to my food, and have learned something of the properties of Grape Nuts for rebuilding the brain and nerve centres
 T commenced using that food and have since made a constant and rapid improvement in health in spite of the fact that all this time I have been engaged in the most strenuous and ex- acting work.
 T gained twelve pounds in weight and have a good appetite, my nerves are steady and I sleep sound. I have such strength and reserve force that feel almost as strong and fresh at the close of a days work as at the begin ming.
 Before using GrapeNuts was troubled much with weak eyes but as my vitality increased my eyes became stronger. I never heard of any other food as nutritious and economical as Grape Nuts" Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's Rea- son"

PUZZLES LAWYERS
COURT IS ADJOURNED TO DETER
 MINE POINT.
Willis Oliver in Sunday Violation Case Unwitttnsly Raises Question oll Which Judge Is Uncertain ef
 His Ground.

Mobile. August s1.--(6peciai. )--The case of Willis Oliver, 6 negor bar ten- der who was arranged in the re- corder's court this morning developed more than one unusual feature.
 Oliver is charged with having sold two bottles of beer on last Sunday to a negro by the name of John Wright. The case was called Friday morning, but was continued until today. as none of the States witnesses, not even Wright, who was complainant in the case, and on whose statements oliver was arrested. appeared in court.
 The police became suspicious at this action on the part of the complainant, believing that Oliver was working for time in which to ''tamper' with the witnesses.
 morning, Oliver unwittingly raised a point of law on which neither Judge Hale nor City Attorney Boone were quite certain of their ground. The defendant demanded trial by jury, which immediately raised the ques- ton as to whether or not person arraigned for a city offense could de- mand trial by jury. Judge Hale thought not. while Attorney Boone stated that he was not certain of the law cover ing the case.
 U pension of the case for a few minutes while he looked up the matter, and after thorough reading of the law, both he and Judge Hale decided that the defendant had no right to demand a jury trial before the hearing of the case in the Recorders Court, where the offense Is a violation of the city ordinances.
 The case was then gone into and the @tAtA rx4 -H---- ~<a Hver's liking" the witnesses, seemed to be fully justified, when Wright, the negro on whose statement the war rant was sworn out for oliver, not only denied any knowledge of the defend- ants having sold beer as charged, but swore positively that he had never made any statement concerning the matter to the officers
 The State then introduced four wit nesses. all of whom swore positively that they had heard Wright make to the officers the staments which the of ficers swore that he made.
 Judge Hale then ordered Wrights name placed on the docket and Q charge of perjury placed against him.
 Oliver introduced several witnesses who stated that they hade not seen the defendant sell any beer on last Sunday, but none could swear positively that he had not done this. A fine of $50 or ninety days was imposed on oliver, and when he gave notice Of an appeal the appeal bond was fixed at $200.
 Wright was then tried on the per- jury charge. He again swore that he had not told the officers anything con- corning Oliver, and then a moment la- ter attempted to assert that he had not denied telling the officers of the transaction. He was bound over to await the action of the grand jury un- der $500 bond.

 w. J. Horsley of this city is still confined to his bed with illness but is thought to be somewhat improved
 The Central Executive Committee of the Prohibition Party met in the office of Hon. J. R. White, Register in Chancery, Friday. The committee met to consider the question of whether numerous petitions should be circu- lated asking the Probate Judge to call an election to vote on the question of whether the selling of liquors should be prohibited In the county, or whether they should circulate only one peti- ton.
 After a thorough discussion of the subject 1t was decided that, in view of the doubts existing as to the legality of numerous petitions being fastened together as one, the safer plan would be to only circulate one petition, and when the requisite number of voters should sign 1t, to present 1t to the Probate Judge. In order to expedite the signing of the petition, mass meet ings of voters were called for the fol- lowing places: Montevallo, Calera, Co., lumbiana. Wilsonville, Vincent, Van diver and Pelham.
 The meetings will be held on dif- ferent days and the petition will be circulated at each one of the mass meetings.
