J. Bethea shall be taken off the dry dock.
 When seen at the hotel this after noon he was reticent regarding the fu- ture of the company but admitted that t had great plans under way, plans which he said would take six months to complete. Captain Moore said 1t would not be necessary for the com pany to walt for the completion of the Warrior locks before commencing to haul coal to tide water. The rivers, he said. would he suficiently high by November to admit of the starting of this work.
 Fifteen barges of coal would be hauled at one time. the captain said. These will be brought out of the War rior river two and three at a time. and in the same manner from Demopolis. The large tow wIli be made up at Jackson and from that point on no dif- aculty will be experienced.
 Regarding the coffer dam at Me- Crews. CaDtain Moore said the author lties had decided not to commence the work until August i, and that before that time the company will be in ex- eellent condition to make the transfer at from below the locks to boat above and vice versa. Speaking of the bar at Gardners Shoals. the Captain ex- pressed the opinion that the heavy rain of yesterday afternoon had cut Into the bar sufficiently for the river to do the rest, and that within a few days the boats would be able to make their trips through to Montgomery.

MALARIA AND
 WEAK HEART.

The following interesting story told by Mir. J. H. Riley. Pensioned Fireman of South Boston. Mass. is a sample of the thousands received from grateful men and women who have been bene- 6ted by the World, great tonic-stimu- lant.
 In an interview. Mir. Riley said:
 T joined the Fire Department of South Boston in 1890 and was lately pensioned of because of a bad fall while in service. which telescoped my spine.
 "A little over year ago was talk en sick wink. in the engine house. and it developed into heart trouble and ma laria. ] went to number of doctors and two different hospitals and went through a course of treatment from each. but l did not receive much bene- fit from any of them. The doctors would not let me go in swimming. nor smoke, nor drink anything but water. l stopped both tea and coffee. My case was getting very serious when a friend said to me: Why don't you get bottle of DuGy's Malt Whiskey1 l know a man who was given up for all time, and he took Dufy's Malt Whiskey and today he is as well a man as you can find. So l commenc- ed taking Pure Malt Whiskey and the result is that the doctors now say that am all night. and l never felt bet ter in my life. Of course. am very little good as far as heavy work is com cerned. owing to my injury. but ] am well. and that IS a good thing to be able to say. l thank you for the reme- dy that put me on my feet again. ''
 Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an absolutely pure distillation of matted grain; great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly matted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt essence. which is the most effective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture, its palatabiEty and freedom from injurious substances render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach.
 (Dose) @One teaspoonful in each glass of drinking water during the hot weather will kill all germs.
 If weak and run down. take tea spoonful four times day in half glass of milk or water. It stimulates the heart action, causes the blood to course more quickly through the veins. and builds new tissue.
 Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is sold throughout the world by druggists. grocers and dealers. or shipped direct for $l.00 per bottle.
 If in need of advice write Consulting Physician, Duffy Malt Whiskey Com pany. Rochester. New York. stating your case fully. Our doctors will send you advice free. together with a hand some illustrated. medical booklet con taining some of the many thousands of gratifying letters received from men and women in all walks of life. both old and young, who have been cured and bene- 6ted by the use of the Worlds greatest medicine.

Much Disappointment.

Much disappointment Is shown here and elsewhere on account of the Con- gressional Committee not coming to a decision relative to the Mays-Kehoe contest for Congressman from this dis trict. The committee. however, Is not much to blame for not remaining in session, as the members were in dead lock and several had important busi- ness to transact which, added to the fact that they had spent four days, with night sessions. caused them to reach a decision tn adjourn for week in the hope that some members of the committee would arrive at some other conclusion SO that the deadlock would be broken. As 1t now stands tho change of one vote means the nomina- ton of either Kehoe or Mays for Con. gress from this district.

WANTED TO Be HUNG
For a Crime He Never Commit
ted Only Spiritually
Would Rise Again.

Fort Smith, Ark, June 19.--Elijah
Skaggs, who says that he is the Pro-
phet Elijah, come to do away with
the second death, was put on trial
for criminal assault on Mrs. Mar
garet Irene Taylor, one of his fol-
lowers.
At a preliminary hearing Skaggs
pleaded guilty. Mrs. Taylor gave de-
tails OF the assault and produced a
garment which she said had been
torn by Skaggs. To the amazement Of
the community, Mrs. Taylor testified
that the criminal assault charge was
spiritual and not physical; that she
herself tore the garment and that her
complaint was in response to cove
nant entered into between herself
and Skaggs, under which he was to
plead guilty and he hanged, that he
might rise again the third day and re-
deem the world.
Skaggs swore to the same effect,
and maintained that as he had crimi-
nally assaulted Mrs. Taylor in his
heart, he was guilty and should be
hanged. He explained his plea Of not
guilty by saying that II they would
hang him he was ready, but as they
were not going to hang him he did
not want to be sent to the peniten-
tiary.
The court scene was intensely dra-
matte and the tensity was heightened
when Mrs. Taylor was ordered into
the custody of the Sheriff on the
charge of perjury.
