BAD DREAMS
Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking.

One of the common symptoms of cof- fee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep. A man who found the reason says:
 "Formerly I was slave to coffee. l was like a morphine fiend. could not sIeep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgoblins, wol,Id wake up with headaches and feel had all day. so nervous I could not at lend to business. My writing looked like bird tracks, had sour belchings from the stomach. indigestion. heart burn and palpitation of the heart, con situation, irregularity of the kidneys. etc.
 Indeed, I began to feel had all the troubles that human flesh could suner, hut when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he had insulted me I could not bear the Idea, 1t had such a hold oh me and retused 10 De- lieve 1t the cause.
 "Rut 1t turned out that no advice was aver given at a more needed time for I 6nallv consented to try Postum and with the going of coffee and the com tre of Postum all my troubles have zone and health has returned. I eat and sleep we'll now. nerves steadied down and I write a fair hand Gas you can see). can attend to business again and rAioice that I am free from the monster coffee"

 Says Governor

Governor B. B. Conner has ordered elections to be held in the twenty-fifth district to fill the vacancies caused by the resignations of Senator Lucien Gardner and in Dale county to choose a successor to Representative Henry B. Steagal. ,..
 The elections are ordered to take place on September 2S. Notice to this effect has been sent the sheriffs, or dering them to make arrangement TOT the election accordingly.
 It is generally understood that MT Steagall Is to succeed c. A. l.. Sand- ford as solicitor of the third circuit, who is to be named solicitor of the Lee county law and equity court.
 It is also understood that MT. Gard ner is to succeed w. L. Parks, chan cellor of the local chancery division on August S1, the date at which he asks his resignation shall take place.
 MT. Steagall and Senator Gardner were leaders of the administration forces in the recent sessions of the Legislature.
 The fact that the Governor expects to call an extra session of the Legis- lature is evidenced by the statement that the Legislature will be in ses- sion prior to the next general elction, at which these representatives would be chosen. Ordinarily there would be no session of the law makers before the next general election.

on the hose wagons, created an excit- ing scene this morning on the public square, the cause of which was fire in the hay loft of John R. 1rbys livery barn on Battle street.
 The fire rapidly spread to the second story of the building occupied by Me Kenzie Brothers saloon on the Cham bers corner. Soon the streets were filled with Bpttles and barrels. and a large crowd gathered to witness the conflagration, which owing to the he- roic efforts of the firemen was reduced to a minimum of damage. What was thought was going to be one of Tal- ladega's biggest fires turned out in a most surprising way. The hay in the livery barn was burned and charred and the woodwork smoked and scorched, but none of the horses were injured and only slight damage was done to a few buggies and carriages
 The second story of the building oc- cupied by Mckenzie Brothers was for merly known as Chambers Opera House, but has been unused for about two years. The paper on the walls and the carpets and woodwork in the end of the building facing Battle street was damaged by water and smoke and a trifle scorched, while the saloon underneath was drenched throughout.
 A. Leo, an Italian, also had a store and restaurant under the opera house and his stock suffered the same fate as the saloon.
 All parties suffering damage by the fire had insurance, but as most of the havoc was wrought by water 1t will be difficult to get at an accurate estl- mate of the loss.
 The total loss to buildings and stocks will probably not exceed S2.5OO.
