THE DRS. DoZIER.

To give the sick and suffering every
possible chance for recovery, briefly
describes the system long age inau-
gurated and religiously followed by
Drs. Dozier & Dozier, who rank among
the leading specialists Of the south.
If it is drugs the patient needs, the
Drs. Dozier take no chances with the
druggists, but compound their own
prescriptions in their own laboratory,
thus assuring the purity and strength
of the ingredients. If other than drugs
are needed, these physicians have prac-
tically every known appliance. for the
curative application Of electricity, and
are experts In their use. Their equip
ment is unsurpassed in the entire
south, and the fact that they have I'M
usual facilities accounts in a measure
for their many unusual cures. Aside
from their skill as physicians, the Drs.
Dozier are gifted with that gentleness
and kindly consideration that appeals
to all, and especially to the afflicted,
and the esteem In which they are held
| by the thousands they have helped Is
the highest tribute that could be paid
to them as physicians and men.

criticism made in Congress during the

The statement in part follows
National forests are created with the

use; the timber, the range, water and
the land.
Everybody who needs timber to es-
tablish his home gets it free of charge

timber there is no chance for monopoly,
for the secretary of agriculture can sell
as much or as little as he pleases, to
whoever he pleases, and for whatever

elected that would be as advantageous
to the city and as efficient as a school
board.
The statement circulated this morning
that Alderman Roemer had accused the
members of the police commission of Bir-
mingham of being gamblers has been de-
MED by him. He stated In this connection
that one of the aldermen speaking before
him had made the assertion, in opposi-
ton to the measue pending, that the Biz
mingham police commission was COM
posed partly of gamblers and barkeepers,
and that il the Montgomery police COM
mission should.have such representatives
as these the city would be better off
without them.
Chief Taylor, when approached this
morning, said he understood the alder
man to say that he was a gambler, which
he looked upon as sufficient provoeation
for resentment He further stated how
ever, that he heard this morning that
he had been mistaken in the alderman's
assertion, more than which he did not
care to state at this time. He says that
he is quite ready to explain his position
when he is called upon to testify.
The alteration referred to occurred
last evening directly after the session of
the council. Captain Smith Immediately
separated the conflicting parties as soon
as the tumult had begun. 1t is under
stood that Alderman Roemer in his prose-
cution might also draw in Captain Smith,
though on what ground it has not as yet
been announced. Owing to the conflicting
rumors it is difficult to get at the facts,
though ii is certain that the alderman
involved is going to push the prosecu-
tion to the utmost. Chief Taylor is hold
ing himself in reserve, and his friends
claim that he will be able to spring an ex-
cellent defense because of the assertions
made.

RELEASE PRISONER ON HABEAs
 CORPUS.
(From Sundays Daily.)

In the district court yesterday Nativ. idad Frias was released by habcas cor pus proceedings from serving n 30O.day sentence imposed upon him by Justice of the Peace Adams on the charge of disturbing thc peace.
 lt was developed in the testimony, from n certificate signed by Justice Adams, that no complaint had ever been sworn to charging Frias with any ofcncsc, and that on July lG, after sentence had been passed upon the de. fcndant, there was no record of the case on the justices docket.
 In imposing n sentence of 300 days on Frias in lieu of the payment of q $500 fine, it was shown that the jus. ticc had ovcrsteppcd his authority, Cor the reason that the limit of imprison. mcnt for the ofrcnsc as fixed by stat. ute, is six months.
 Another point raised by Attorney Russell for the defense was that the commitment did not show in what pre-. cinct, city, county or Territory the of- fonso was committed. lt merely charged that Frias, on or about the 9th day of July, appeared on the streets in drunken condition, acted disorler' ly and threatened to do bodily harm to citizens.
 Frias has been confined in the branch county jail at Jerome, and in the coun ty jail here since July ,. He will re turn to Jerome to lay.

MARS IS MELTING
 SAYS PROFESSOR LOWELL
Flagstaff Astronomer Tells Of Recent
 Observations
(From Sundays Daily.)

Prof. Pcrcival Lowell, the million airc astronomer of Flagstaff, whose famous Lowell observatory, ai that place is known throughout the scientific world as being of international import. ance, himself well known to large number of Prescott citize speaking of the recent observations 0. hc planet Mars, gives tLc following i..;s:
 "Thc most interesting and suggest i've feature of the observations is the unusually well displayed spring melting of the South polar cap, enabling its finer details to be caught for the first time. Three months ago the cap came down to latitude 1 degrees on the planet s surface, anl was of indefinite contour. It has now shrunk to latitude 60 degrees and is bcltcd by dark band that continuously retreats with it. No substance known to us could present this metamorphosis, including the ac. companying girdle, but snow turning to water.
 "Ancillary to this melting. dark lines have appeared issuing from the edge of the cap, and proceeding down the disk to connect with the extreme southern canals in the light areas. These have shown darkest nearest the cap, the source and sequence of the phenomenon thus completely corroborating the ex- planation of them previously advanced by this observatory. to-wit: that the canals were dependent upon the water let loose from the cap for their origin and office.
 At the same time, MT. Lamplund has been photographing the planet again with process surpassing that at the last opposition. The dark streaks from the polar cap observed here wis. ibly show beautifully in the photo. graphs, and the canals themselves come out with a definiteness exceeding cx- pecta,ions. More than score of them have already been registered, and in both the photographs and the naked eye observations the canals appear linear and continuous. The photograph. thus entirely confirm the visual obser vations.
 "Cablegrams from the expedition tc the Andes sent out by the observatory have been received and report success both visual and photographic. Photo graphically the expedition has regist cred the canals and oases on its plates and visually has detected the double character of several of the canals seei here during the last few months il duplicate. The last cables are iron lquique, Chill"
