FRANK ODER KILLED
FALLS THROUGH ELEVATOR SHAFT
 IN MOBILE.
workmen on Big Van Antwerp BuiId- ing Meets Terrible Death While Installing an
 Apparatus.

Mobile, Nov. S.--(Speciai. )--Frank Ober, a white man, apparently 45 years old, and an employc of the Otis Ele- vator Company. engaged in installing an elevator In the Van Antwerp build ing at the corner of Dauphin and Royal Streets, fell ten and a half stories down the elevator shaft in the build ing at 2 o'clock this afternoon and was killed instantaneously.
 In the terrible fall ober's head struck the concrete flooring about the eighth story crushing in the skull. Turning completely over several times, the body fell in heap on the ground floor, nearly every bone being broken.
 A negro was on the elevator with Ober and had narrow escape. Ober and several others were on the elev- anth, floor removing steei rods He and the negro were standiAg on an impro- vised elevator. The signal gong of the engineer on the ground floor rang. It Is believed that in moving the iron rods the wire to the signal gong was cought causing the bell to ring. The engineer thought 1t signal to lower the elevator. The apparatus had de- scenGed about six feet when the engi- neer was mortified to see the body of a man fall through the elevator shaft to the ground.
 ober never moved a muscle. death being instantaneous. The elevator was stopped within six feet of the eleventh floor. The supposition Is. that when the engineer caused the elevator to start downward suddenly Ober lost his balance and feel from the apparatus to his death.
 ober had been hn Mobile about a month and little Is known of him.

taken into the system and every bit of that food must first be prepared or digested by the stomach in such a man ner that it can be turned into blood. bone, sinew, etc., and the moment the stomach becomes out of order the en- tire system is deranged, and much suf- fering is the result. The results ac- complished by Plant Juice seem won derful when you do not understand the nature of the remedy. As mat ter of fact, the principal thing the remedy does is to put the stomach in good working order in a very short tme. and in consequence the action of every organ is improved almost at once, and health is the result"
 While very busy with callers throughout the day. Colonel Dillingham; has taken time to look around the city and has become an enthusiastic ad- mirer of Montgomery and her apparent prosperity on every hand. He declares that the tremendous activity in build ing circles and the wonderful enter prise displayed by the authorities in the improvement of the conveniences and the general air of activity every where indicates that Montgomery is soon to become one of the most if not the most, important center of the South.
 Since it has been illustrated that Dil- linghams Plant Juice Eminent is equally efficacious with the ailments of man and beast large number of cures have been effected among the horses of this vicinity. and many animals suf- fering from painful injuries and af- flictions have been instantly relieved by the application of this wonderful remedy.
 Reports from the use of the wonder full Plant Juice remedy are also coming to Colonel Dillingham; daily. some of them bordering on the marvellous.
 The entertainment on Court Square will continue nightly with an entire change of the program for each per formance. During the day parties can call at the headquarters, where Col onel Dillingham; or one of his assistants can be seen at any time.

U. IN SESSION
SIX HUNDRED DELEGATES GATHER
 IN NASHVILLE.
In Her Annual Address, Mrs. Stevens, the President, Referred to the
 Prohibition Wave in the South. c

Nashville. Tenn. Nov. s.--At 9:30 o'clock this morning the thirty fourth annual convention of the National Wo- mans Christian Temperance Union was called to order in the First Presbyteran Church, this city, by it's president, Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens of Portland. Me.
 Between five and six hundred dele gates were in their seats when the pres ident rapped for order. They are here from every State in the Union. several colored women being among the num- ber. The last W. c. T. U. convention held in Nashville was twenty years ago this month.
 After organizations report of the Ex- ecutive Committee and appointment of committees, the president delivered her annual address. which was in part as follows:
 1.-TWO decades ago we came here, ac- tuated by the same spirit, inspired by the same hopes, upheld by the same faith which are ours today. Can we motto that Frances D. Willard gave to the convention of 1887: There is nothing memorable but love-

 Each triumph over the liquor traf- flc gained in the Southland is of na- tional value and the temperance victo- ries insTennessee have giaddened the hearts of good men and women every where.
 "Georgia's struggle. Georgia's achievement, will help Massachusetts, Illinois, California and all other H. cense States to- break away from the bondage of the legalized liquor trafficS
 ''OkIahoma's triumph is or greater importance than we can easily compre- bend. All hail to the new State which enters Statehood life free constitution. ally from a legalized liquor trade.
 ''The lawless. defiant resistance of the Iiquor trade in Maine, Kansas and North Dakota to an unusually great de- gree. has been overcome. Maine still remains the most conspicuous target for the liquor men and their sympa- thizers and undoubtedly more false statements are made in the endeavor to show that prohibition there is a failure than are made in connection with any other subject on any locality on the face of the globe"
 After the reports were read tbe Loyal Temperance Legion Brapch" was discussed by Miss Margaret Mont ringer, of Illinois, the General Secre- tary. Then followed ten minute ad- drSsG9s by the various superintendents.
 Sev slral elaborate social functions have been planned by the ladies of Nashville in honor of the visiting W. c. T. Us~delegates.
 Mrs. S. M. D. Prick. Recording Sec retary. reported that there has been a gain in membership during the past year of 10.064. Reports from twenty seven States show 300 w and Y. Unione organized. hfty-two reorgan- ized, with s.S5s active and 2,6s2 honor ary members.

HEART RIGHT
It Makes a Great Difference.

About two years ago I became alarmed because my husband had att tacks from fainting spells caused by weak heart. from drinking coffee.
 At first he did not like Postum. I had not then learned to boil 1t long as directions say, to get the rich flavor and brown color.
 After 1t was made right, he liked it. and now for more than a year he has not been troubled with his heart--in fact. his general health Is better than for years" Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek. Mich. Read The Road to Wellville." in pkss There's c Reason"

rb,s week hundreds of new faces witnessed the pleasing entertainment provided by Col. Frank Dillingham; the .n.srtatner and advertiser, and his splendid company on Court Square ana {. ha. been late in the evening before tne demand for the wonderful remedies has been supplied.
 The Plant Juice Remedies which are being introduced here for the first time seem to be accomplishing more than is claimed for them by the advertiser. and ehe number of people who have called ana voluntarily given thefr endorse ment to it's healing qualities increases aav bv day. Within the past five days hundreds of sick people who have been na,ne the remedies called on Colonel Dillingham to express their gratitude and 10 give testimony of the wonder Sul results of the use of the medicines.
 Many people would be surprised to ~v,tness the number of people calling for Colonel Dillingham; and re- counting without request the great heueat derived from the use of these medicines. But to Colonel Dillingham; tt appears to be only an every minute occurrence. Concerning this feature of tbe business Colonel Dillingham; said;
 eTo an outsider the many calls that receive after my first few nights in a city from people who have taken Plant Jn,ee remedies and have come to tell me what 1t has done. may seem to be very unusual. but ever since the intro auction os this medicine I have been having the same experience in every eitv. I have visited and therefore it occurs to me as a matter of course. A sick man or a sick woman who has been benefited or made well again in a comparatively short time, is the most grateful person in the world. Proba- bly, you don't know 1t. but about nine tenths of the diseases with which the human beings are afflicted are due pri- narily and fundamentally to stomach trouble. The stomach Is. practically speaking, the furnace which runs the machinery of the entire body. Human lise is supported by the food which is
