KEPT OUT OF JAIL
FOR TWENTY YEARS
Thus Perfected Title To
Big Sum.

NEW YORK, Oct. Is. (SpeciaD-
Out of obscurity lasting twenty years.
Doc" Wilson, who acquired fame as
the mysterious protege of the late
Philip l.. Moen, the barbed wire
king has again emerged into the
lime light of publicity, although he
was years ago reported to have died
in Arizona.
When Moen, who was a deacon in
the Congregational church, of Wor-
cester, Mass, died in 1891, leaving an
estate of $38,OOO,OOO, there was found
a fund of $4,000, which he had Gre
ated for the express purpose of pro-
tecting his family from Wilson. The
money was to be used to prosecute
Wilson if he ever attempted to make
any demands upon the family. If,
however, Wilson succeeded in keep
ing out Of Jail for twenty years, he
was to have whatever remained of
the money.
The twenty years elapsed last June
and lawyers are preparing to turn
over to doc" Wilson the $500, 900
The rest of the fund has been spent,
it is said, from time to time in an
effort to send Wilson to prison.

(SpeciaD Every father and mo-
Their who rear their children should

Rev. DR.. w. l.. Pickard in his sermon
at the First Baptist Church Sunday
night.
DR.. Pickard was delivering the
second of a series of sermons on the

speaker, has been a live question
for fifteen years. The old negro an
swered it by saying; 1t pen S on who
dey bofe marries.' Wise answer this.
As an institution, marriage is a
graat success.
"As with many husbands, many
wives soon become careless as to
their duties, and fail to be true help
ers to their husbands. A wife is not
to be a slave. Neither is she to be a
mere butterfly. She has her sphere
and her work. The home is her
greatest sphere.
81 do not say there should be no
woman's clubs. They have their
place. I do not say that all women
ought to marry. There are many
avenues open to women, and these
are filled with women, generally, who
are worthy. But when a woman is
married, the home is her greatest
sphere of influence, or should be.
Some wives and mothers act as
though all they had to do is to dress
fine, receive company, entertain in
costly fashion, give swell receptions,
pay calls, visit the dressmaker, keep
up with the fashions, go to matinees
and just let the husband foot the
bills. This course of living has cursed
many a home. 1t has frozen many
a husbands heart, bankrupted him
financially, and by neglect ruined the
home for both husband and child

NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
OF Special Value to Many Here in
Americas.

One of the most notable discover
les and one that undoubtedly appeals
more than anything else to many peo-
pie here in Americas is the combina-
ton of stomach remedies in the Mi
o-na treatment. This prescription
has worked wonders, and there is
now no excuse for anyone suffering
with indigestion or weak stomach.
1t acts specifically upon the mus
cles of the stomach and bowels,
strengthening and stimulating them
so that they readily take care of the
food that is eaten. 1t also increases
the flow of gastric juices, thus get
ting from the food the nourishment
that is necessary for health and en-
ergy.
The symptoms of indigestion are
numerous, such as distress after eat
ing, fatu1ence, heartburn, sick head
ache, dizziness and irritability. These
are all dispelled by a few doses of
Minona when the trouble is recent,
but just as surely in long standing
and chronic cases if the threatment
is followed for a reasonable length
of time.
So positive are the good effects fol-
lowing the use of Mona that the
remedy is sold by Dodson's Pharmacy
under an absolute guarantee to re-
fund the money if it should fail to
cure. 16-1S-23

tary Root by the Russian ambassador is as follows:
 "The undersigned Ambassador of Russia, like Russia, by order of his government. has the honor to make the following communication to his excel cellency the secretary of state of the United States:
 Before the second peace conference is called, the imperial government deems it an obligation to admit to the powers which have accepted its in vitation. a statement of the present situation.
 All the powers to which the impe- rial government communicated in April. 1906 its tentative program of the labors of the new conference, have declared their adherence thereto.
 However the following remarks have been made with respect to that program:
 The government of the. United States has reserved to itself the lib- erty of submitting to the second con- ference two additional questions, viz: That of the reduction or limitation of armaments, and that of bringing about an agreement to observe certain limi- tations in the use of force in collect- ing ordinary debts accruing from con- tracts.
 The Spanish government has ex- pressed a desire to discuss the limita- ton of armaments. reserving to itself the right to deal with this question at the next meeting at The Hague.
 The British government has given notice that 1t attaches great import ance to having the question of expen. ditures for armament discussed at the conference and has reserved to itself the right of raising 1t; 1t has also re- served to Itself the right of taking no part in the discussion of any question mentioned in the Russian program which would be unlikely to produce any useful result to 1t.
 Japan is of the opinion that certain questions that are not especially enum- erated In the program might be con- venfently included among the subjects for consideration and reserves to itself the right to take no part in or with draw from any discussion taking or tending to Aake q trend which in its judgment would not be conducive to any useful result.
 ''The governments of Bolivia, Dem mark, Greece and The Netherlands have also reserved to themselves in general way the right to submit to the consideration of the conference other subjects similar to those that are ex- plicitly mentioned in the Russian pro- gram.
 ''The imperial government deems it its duty to declare for its part. that 1t maintains its program of the month of April. 1905. as the basis for the de- Alterations of the conference and that if the conference should broach a dis GUS zion that would appear to 1t unlike- ly to end in any practical issue. if re- serves to itself in its turn, the right to take no part in such a discussion"

]. B. DRAKE KILLED
BODY OF SECTION FOREMAN FOUND
 ON TRACKS.
struck By Fast Train But Believed Man Was Dealt With Foully And Placed On
 Ralls.

Birmingham. April 4.-(speciaL)-- The body of J. B. Drake. section foreman, was found dead early this morning lying on tho tracks of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad, be- tween Bessemer and Jonesboro. about thirteen miles south of Birmingham.
 The mans head was mashed like an egg shell and. his left hand was crushed to a pulp. An open knife was found under the body which suggests that there might be an element of foul play in the mystery. The man was seen lying on the track by the engi- peer of fast train passing the place at 12:50 o'clock this morning but the train could not be brought to a stop before the life was crushed out.
 The body presented a ghastly sight when picked up. Coroner Paris is making an investigation.
 A statement is made that Drake was drinking yesterday and 1t is possible that he laid down on the track and went to sleep. Friends assert that he was not a drinking man.
 Drake came to this district four weeks ago. His family Is at Falk- vile. in the northern part of the State. A letter from his daughter, found in the pockets of his coat, requested that a house be found so that the family could move to Bessemer at once. Drake Tuesday evening drew his months pay.
 No blood was found on the track save that following the mashed head It Is contended that had life not been extinct before the train struck the body there would have been a flow of blood.
