NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY Of Special Value to Many
 Here in Montgomery.

One of the most notable discoveries and one that undoubtedly appeals more than anything else to many people here in Montgomery, Is the combination of stomach remedies in the Mi-o-na treat ment. This prescription has worked wonders. and there is now no excuse for anyone suffering with indigestion or weak stomach.
 > It acts specifically upon the muscles of the stomach and bowels, strength ening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of the food that Is eaten. It also increases the flow of gastric juices, thus getting from the food the nourishment that is neces- sary for health and energy.
 The symptoms of indigestion are numerous. such as distress after eat ing, ,flatulence. hea, ,rt- burn. sick head aches, dizziness and irritability. These are all dispelled by q few doses of Mi o-na when the trouble is recent, but just as surely in long standing and chronic cases if the treatment Is fol- lowed for a reasonable length of time.
 So positive are the good effects fol- lowing the use of Mi-o-na that the remedy is sold by E. c. Fowler under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it should fail to cure

Mobile. Oct. 19.--(special.) )--The grand jury which has been in session for the past two weeks finished its work this afternoon and made its re- port to Judge Semmes.
 Iss This body sexaminedk 576 witnesses in 19e cases and found ninety-nine true bills. The report embraced reports from committees appointed to inspect the books and bonds of the various county officials and the county asylum. According to these reports the bonds of the county officers were found to be sufficient. while the books of these of- ficiais are reported to be both correctly and neatly kept.
 The committee which visited the county poor house stated that 1t found this institution properly kept but re- commended repairs on several of the buildings, statins that these are badly needed. The report also embraces a recommendation that in case the coufi- ty builds a new asylum 1t should be placed on some car line as the present site is too isloated and iracessiye to tn . friends of the inmates and the public
 The grand jury also embodied in it's report a recommendation that all con- tracts of school lands for the purpose of cutting timber or wood or giving turpentine privilege be withdrawn as the body believes these leases are without sanction of the law.

USE OF BRASSCHECKS

Notice Given out in Mobile by United States Attorney Armbrecht fs
 Cause ef Much Con-
 fualOn.

|
 Mobile, Oct. 19.--f Special )--The no- tice given out by United States Dis trict Attorney W. H. Armbrecht that lumber camps and other Amanufacturine concerns giving brass checks to their employees in lieu of money were vio- iating the United States statute and warning them to cease such practice has beer. misunderstood.
 E Many Of the lumber people think they are to be prosecuted and numbers of them have called upon the district at torney seeking information.
 The soda water people took it that they would be permitted no longer to sell soda water tickets redeemable at that counter.
 A large number of the employees of the Whistler shops understood that the Mobile and Ohio would have to quit paving off in checks at Whistler (vouchers for their money at the bank1. and have been rejoicing over the belief that they would not have to lose any time to como to the city to get their checks cashcd.
 And District Attorney Armbrecht did not consider that he was doing any- thing especially new" but his warn ing was published and commented upon in papers in different parts of the country, and he. has received letters from a number of clipping bureaus asking him if he cared for q collection of the press comments. So it seems that sensation has been caused.
 Mir. Armbrecht published the notice simply because 1t was reported that one or more lumber companies in this vicinity were raying their employees with brass checks that wereNgood only at the camp commissary. These checks were given in lieu of money. against the statute of the United States gov- ernment It is not unlawful to sell soda water checks or street car books, But 1t Is against the law to pay a sal- ary in brass checks instead of money.

Remarkable Record of Convictions i
 Every Case.s

Every Caae.
 Evergreen, Oct, 9-(Special) )--The session of the Circuit Court which has just closed here was a very busy one, and from the standpoint of con victions secured during the second \ week of the court q most remarkable Fffty-five cases on the criminal docket was disposed of. which resulted in fifty-five convictions. These cases ranged from murder in the first degree down to small misdemeanors.
 Frank Newton was convicted of murder and was sentenced to the peni- tentiary for life. RobertwTurner and George W. Ethridge for manslaughter were sentenced to one year each.
 The case of Ethridge created the most intense interst throughout the county. the defendant being one of the most prominent farmers of this county and. Belonging to one of the largest and best. families in this section, During the progress of the trial he was at tended by his wife andsiittle children, and when the verdict was read, the re- suit Of which separated husband and wife, father from children, the sobbing wife and little ones made a pitiable scene which touched the heart of every person in the court house.
 The solicitors fees for the week amounted to about $1.6o0. Among the conviction about sixteen were against persons for violating the prohibition law. l '6 {.
 Immediately upon the adjournment of court Judge Richardson and Solicitor Bricken left for their respective homes. It is thought generally that this term of court will have a decidedly bene- ficial effect upon the county.
 Solicitor Bricken in commenting upon the record made, that of securing a conviction in absolutely every case, stated that such juries would do more towards securing an observance of the law than any other influence which could be brought to bear. He paid the petit and special juries in attendance upon this term of the court very high compliment. .
