Common Sense
 And a Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach Trouble and Make Meals
 Pleasure.

When your stomach goes on a strike and mass meetings of indignation are held all over your body then 1t Is that you should sit up and take notice.
 It is clearly and only a question of common sense-is this thing called Dyspepsia. Take away, by abuse, over eating, excesses and high living, the things which the stomach needs and you have dyspepsia and indigestion {; then other maladies follow these-this is common sense.
 The stomach Is willing enough but you won't let it do it's work. You take away the materials which are so nec- essary for it to use.
 Give back these materials and dys- pepsia and indigestion flee and the whole machinery of man begins slowly to move and do It's work.
 What the stomach needs is nerve force. fluids for its digestive glands, nourishment and power. All these ne- cessitiesa&i it takes from the blood. If dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood the blood gives nothing to the stom- ach.
 This is common sense also. pure. simple and unalloyed.

discussion long enough to give any ex- tended impression of his characteristics.
 Brooks Smiths Race.
 There is probably no man in Alabama better posted on taxes and revenues than c. Brooks Smith, the affable chief clerk to the auditor of Alabama. For several years he has been closely associated with this department of the states service and is not only a mine of information in de- tail. but has a wide scope of general ef- fectiveness in every way available to the position.
 MT. Allgood has so far not had much experience in the state political limelight. He served on the state democratic com mittee and has done great deal of work of the kind that would be useful to him if he should come into office.
 Nobody so far has shouted out loudly that he would make the race for the rail road commission in opposition to either one of the two associates now In o1nce. By the time the election comes around Mir Nesbitt will have served a ful term by election of the people and Colonel Lusk something over two years as re- suit of being appointed by Governor Co- mer.
 Attorney General
 Thomas w Martin, prominently men toned for attorney general IS d SUI ol the late Speaker Martin, who. prior to his election to the speakership, was attorney general and state code commissioner. The young man has been assistant attorney general for several years, and has had, perhaps the widest experience of any one man in the history of the office. AS 1ndi- eating the esteem in which MT. Martin is held, it is related that he could have been appointed solicitor of Montgomery county if. he had been willing to accept the posi- tion.
 It is not known positively that Col. T.. l.. BuIger of Dadeville will finally make the race for attorney general or not He announced some time ago that 1t was his intention to do so. but it is reported that he may in the end decide to offer for

state superintendent of education instead. He made a splendid record in the last house as the friend of education In gen. eral and the common schools in particu- lar.
 Head of Schools. H. J. Willingham, secretary of the board of examiners of the state educational de- partment, will be in the race for superin- tendent of education. This seems to be a certainty, although he has never so an- nounced. Besides his wide acquaintance among school workers of all classes, MT. Willingham is, perhaps, the best posted man in many respects on the question or teachers in the state. He is an officer of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, and leader in the Baptist church.
 MT McAdory and Professor DuBose are residents of Birmingham and both well known as school enthusiasts and hard workers for educational affairs. MT. Me- Adory has been superintendent of educa- tion of Jefferson county for great many years and Is regarded as a progressive man in all lines.
 Professor DuBose is the author of re- cent history of Alabama which has been adopted as one of the school textbooks He was at one time member of the Ala bama legislature and suggested an amend ment by which the provision for electing railroad commissioners by the people was adopted into law
 Lane and Seymour. Hector D. Lane, who has practically an- nounced as candidate for commissioner or agriculture. is a son of former Commits sioner Hector D. Lane and a practical farmer along modern lines- His north AL abama plantation Is one of the best man aged and most profitable in the southern states.
 MT. Seymour is at present chairma nof the state board of cotton statistics and president of the Alabama division of the Southern Cotton association. He Is also an enthusiast on the subject of corn cul- ture, and for some time has been devoting his time and his money without stint to the promotion of better output per acre of corn in all sections of the state.
 Supreme Court. There will be a chief justice and two associate justices of the supreme court to be elected. John R. Tyson, at present chief justice, is the only man known to be in the race for the head of the court, though it is pretty certain that Samuel D. Weakley the former chief justice, will make the race. There Is a general im- pression that the pressure brought to bear on Judge Weakley to make the race for Governor will not finally meet with sue cess, and that he will ask the people again to elevate him to the position held for short time as result of appoint ment by Governor Jelks.
 So far there is no announced opposition to the reelection of Justices N. D. Den son and John Anderson. It is also a fact that nobody Is discussed as @ probable successor to Gen. R. F. Ligon, the affable clerk of the court. This position Is filled by election of the judges every six years. The new code puts this office on salary. and 1t is not known whether General Lig on will care to serve with the compensa- tion now provided or not
 Chief Justice Tyson won out handsomely before the people and Is regarded as one of the best and most learned judges In the south. His career on the bench has been full of successes.

JOHN McARTHUR DIES
AT HIS SHASTA HOME
Pioneer for Whom a Town Was
Named Succumbs to At
tack of ApopIexy

Relatives here have received word of
the death on March 80 of John Nc
Arthur, for whom the town of Near
thur in Shasta county was named. He
passed away at his Shasta county
home, where he had lived since 1869.
The pioneer had been in poor health for
some years. Six weeks ago he was
stricken with apoplexy and he never
rallied from the stroke.
Macarthur was born in Argylshire,
Scotland, in November 1882. and came
to America with his parents when
years of age The family settled in
Waupaca, Wis, and there Macarthur
married Catherine Buchanan, who sur
wives him.
Macarthur came to California in the
flfties. but remained in the state only a
short time. He returned in 1859 and
took up his residence in Shasta county.
He was interested in a large number
of commercial ventures which he
merged into the John Macarthur COM
pany. He accumulated comfortable
competence and raised large family.
He became very influential in the north
ern part of the state and was one of
the most prominent residents of Shasta
county.
Three children survive him-Hugh
Macarthur of Portland, Ore; Mrs. Mary
Kemp of Berkeley and Miss Anna Nc
Arthur, who is now in Rome, Italy. A
son in law, DIR. r. Cadwallader, lives in
San Francisco.

CHESTER GILLETTE
DIES IN THE CHAIR
Pays the Penalty for the MUIR
der of His Sweetheart,
Grace Brown
Exhibits Neither Emotion Nor
Sign OF Weakness as He
. Goes to His Death

AUBURN, n. Y, March S0.-Chester
E. Gillette paid the full penalty today
for the brutal murder of Grace Brown.
He went to his death In the electric
chair at Auburn prison without a sign
of weakness and with the same lack
of emotion which had characterized
him from the day he was arrested.
Gillette appeared to have been fully
reconciled to his fate, and in a state
ment given out by his spiritual ad-
visers Immediately after the execution
1T was indicated that he had made a
confession of guilt.
Mrs. Gillette. mother of Chester.
made a statement today. in part as fol-
lows:
Though 1t Is very hard thing for me to feel
that Chester was responsible for Grace Brown 5
death, yet IL was the wish expressed to him con
tinually by me that IL he was guilty he should
say so before the world and in his triumphant
death 1 feel that God has answered my dearest
wish and prayer.
The communication handed to
Warden Benham by Gillette last night
was in part as follows:
In the valley of the shadow of death IL is
my desire to do everything that would remove
any doubt as to my having found Jesus Christ.
the personal saviour and nnfailiug friend. My
one regret at this time Is that have not given
him hin the pre.eminenee in my life while I had
only say some thing that would draw young
men to him l would deem 1t the greatest priv
ilege ever granted me.
The crime for which Chester E. Gill
lette forfeited his life was the murder
of his sweetheart. Grace Brown. near
Big Moose, in the Adirondacks. on July
II, 1906. The girl. who perished in the
waters of Big Moose lake, had trusted
Gillette to make amends for the wrong
he had done her by making her his
wife, and her letters, which were found
in the young mans room after his ar
rest at Eagle Bay, have been con-
sidered by many as classic in their
simplicity and their tender pleading
for the right that was her due.

BILL JEOPARDz[S
RIVER NAVIGATION
Two Senators Oppose Granting
Of Water Rights to Pri-
vate Parties
Amid CIashing of State interests
Discovery of No Quorum
Is Made

WASHINGTON. March 50.-The OBJ
lection of the president to the con-
struction of dams across navigable
rivers by private companies except
when the public interest is fully guar
anteed figured in the consideration OF
q house bill in the senate today. Thls
bill proposes to authorize the Benton
water company to construct Dam
across Snake river in the state OF
Washington.
When the measure was taken up
Senator Frye called the attention of
the senate to the presidents state
ment that he would veto objectionable
legislation giving water rights to prt-
vate parties.
The bill was championed by Sena-
tors Piles and Ankeny of Washington
and was vigorously opposed by SEN
ator Hepburn of Idaho on the ground
that that state was immensely inter-
ested in the navigation of the river
which, he said, would be jeopardized
by allowing a private corporation to
construct a dam across 1t for gain.
Senator Borah offered an amendment
to the bill providing for the free navi-
cation of the river. and with the adop-
tion of that guarantee, he said, he
would vote for it.
Amid the clashing of state interests
Hepburn suggested the absence of a
quorum, which condition being affirmed
by rollcall, a motion to adjourn end
ed the discussion for the day.

The lioelous statements alleged in
the third information are:
The Times charges that a corrupt
bargain was made between E. A Hayes
and Abe Ruef at Santa Cruz which re-
suited in the nomination OF E. A.
Hayes. II was currently reported there
at the time that z. A Hayes had
