THE CLOSING EXERCISES
 OF MARION INSTITUTE

Marion, May 16-(Special.)-T Marion session with the largest award of degrees to graduates in it's history. The closing exercises of the college for young men, as those of Judson college were wit messed by a large number of visitors from many states. The students of the institute come from Kentucky and Vir- ginia to Florida and Texas, and the suspicious session now closing points to a crowded attendance at the beginning of the next session in September. The en- tire faculty were reelected.
 The final exercises were noteworthy for the eminent speakers who delivered addresses before the students. The be- ginning of the end of the sessions work was marked by the able and eloquent address of Chief Justice T. M. Shacl1el- ford of the supreme court of Florida on the function of education in democracy. Following this came the annual final ser mon before the Young Mems Christian association by the Rev. George B. Eager of Louisville, Ky. The association re- port shows that all the students of the college except two are church members and that the work of the association has been brought to a high degree of organi- zation and efficiency. The baccalaureate address was delivered by Dr. Charles Manly of Lexington, Va, who spoke in the place of President George H. Denny of the Washington and Lee university, who was detained in Virginia by sick ness. The address, together with the his- torical introduction of Col J. T. Murfee,

FIT THE GROCER. Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. Cleveland grocer has d long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee
 He says regarding his own experience: Two years ago I had been drinking cof- fee and must say that l was almost wrecked in my nerves
 Particularly in the morning l was so irritable and upset that l could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties.
 "One day my wife suggested that inas- much as I was selling much Postum there must be some merit in it and sug- gested that we try it. 1 took home package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was very happy one. My nervousness gradually disap- peared and today l am all right. l would advise everyone affected in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee.'

Economical Way for Fat
 Folks to Reduce

Science has succeeded in making the re- duction of fat the easiest and simplest thing imaginable. It has made 1t easy by rendering dieting and exercising entirely unnecessary and simplifed it so that all one has to do is visit the nearest druggist, who, for a small sum, will fill the follow ing prescription: 1s ounce Marmola, h once Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, and 31h ounces Syrup Simplex. Could anything be more simple or inexpensive?
 Of this pleasant mixture one must take a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime and in a week or two he or she will be los ing from half to a pound of fat day Tn a manner so natural and uniform that no unsightly wrinkles or pouches of skin are formed In fact it seems to melt away the objectionable deposits of fat wherever located on hips, abdomen, etc., without affecting the other parts of the body that are not over-fat so that it restores a proportion to the figure so perfect that it really must be experienced to be be- lieved.
 Unlike other internal remedies for exces. sive fat, which are mostly made up of bit ing acids, this prescription has a benc- fcial effect upon the stomach. It regulates the bowels and, strange to say improves the appetite, which proves one thing, that it is not so much what you eat as what becomes of it that makes you fat. By talk ing this prescription one can eat in reason what they please, secure in the knowledge that the remedy will see that the food is turned into energy and strength instead of useless unsightly folds of fat.
 Just one care should be. observed. See that the Marmola Is fresh. This is easy, as it comes in sealed 1a-ounce packages. Get it in that form and you may expect the very best resultA

PROSECUTIONS
 ARE TERMINATED Notable Prohibition Cases At
 Hattiesburg PLEAD GUILTY TO CHARGES Officers of Business Mems Athletic Club Effect Compromise and Stop Prosecutions In Notable Cases.
 Indictments Unlimited.
PLEAD GUILTY TO CHARGES

Hattiesburg, Miss, May 16.-(Special)- The most extensive prosecutions ever con- ducted in the course of the attempt to enforce the prohibition laws of Mississippi have just been brought to termina- ton here by means of a compromise ar engagement entered in what have been known as the Business Mems Athletic club, under the terms of which four Of the five accused officers and attaches of the club will take their sentences in two cases, while the innumerable other cases against them will be passed to the files of the court.
 It was tlgured that there was a pos sibility of 14,0O0 indictments in these cases altogether When the club was raided the authorities took possession of all the punched cards held by the members. There were some 200 of these. Each card represented IA drinks of liquor unlaw- fully sold. Under the law the officers of the club could be indicted for each separate drink, and as there were five of such officers, the possibility of indictments was practically unlimited.
 The officers of the club, President L. Diebold, Secretary J. H. Proctor, Vice President J. H. Frazer, Treasurer s. Klinger and Porter Sam Jones had al- ready been tried in several cases in city police court and in the justice of the peace court. They appealed all the convictions and these appeals as well as twenty addi- tional indictments against each man were on the docket against them when the cir cult court took up the business for inves- tigation. The accused, with the exception of Mir Frazer, were represented by able counsel and as the result of a day devoted to argument of counsel and conferences it was arranged that all the cases should be retired with the exception of five against each man. in which five cases the accused should plead guilty, with the understanding that sentence should be passed in only two cases against each. This compromise does not affect the charges against MT. Frazier, who has elected to fight the charges against him. self on their merits.
 These prosecutions have attracted wide attention. They have resulted in the res ignations of several public officials and the trial of others on impeachment pro- eesses Some 200 well known citizens were members of the club, and have been brought into undesirable notoriety on ac- count of the trials

Reduces Fat
 a Pound a Day
The Simplest, surest and Most Effect i've Way To Get Rid of Surplus
 Flesh Without Drugs.
How To Prove It To Yourself Without
 Any Expense Whatever.

The first thing not to do when trying to reduce your weight is to take some thing that contains a drug of any kind, or try to starve the fat away.
 The moment you begin to do that you give distinct shock to the entire nervous and digestive systems, and though you may lose some fat as a result you will lose your health
 Cases are numerous of fat people be- coming permanent invalids by the use of starvation diets and dangerous re- ducers.
 realize that as a general rule, there is a remedy for every defect of the human organism. Nature provides a remedy for nearly every disease. It is a law of the universe. This is true of that dangerous and uncomfortable disease-obesity. Nature provides remedy, not from the dangerous drugs and biting acids extraced from min plants, herbs and other organic ma terials which are harmonious to the human system.
 Among such materials there is known 8 remedy for obesity which has not yet become universally known, but the use of which has already resulted in enormous benefit, and most probably in the saving of many lives.
 This remedy is commonly called Rem go. The rate at which this remedy will reduce fat, and do it harmlessly and surely, is truly remarkable. A pound a day is ordinarily the loss recorded, being done by compelling perfect as- similation of the food, and sending the nutriment where it belongs.
 The most remarkable feature of Rengo is that you can take all you want of it without running the slight est risk of harm. It can be chewed like candy and is pleasant to the taste
 Many physicians, who before were at q loss to know how to cure obesity. are now prescribing Rengo with remark able success It is a great nerve strength producer, affecting digestion primarily, and inducing general ex- hilaration of mind and body. Wrinkles which appear in nearly every case of reduction of fat where injurious drugs and starvation process are tried, do not occur where Rengo is used.

Florence, May 16.-(Special)-The sec ond week of the union revival services in Florence closed last night with the meeting at the Presbyterian church. the rain preventing the open air meetings in the park
 Interest is unabated, and the wonderful preaching of the Rev. J. o. Hanes, the evangelist, has taken a great hold upon the people.

 The meetings will continue all of next week. Sunday afternoon at the opera house another great meeting will be held for men only. An indication of the great interest the meetings have aroused is the large attendance at the monday prayer meetings for men held in the business district

Montgomery, May 16.-(Special. )-The campaign being made in the interest of Jobn A. Johnson for the democratic nomi- nation for President has caused a great lot of talk and much speculation, the success or failure of the movement de- pending largely upon the opinion of the man talking. If he is a Bryan enthusiast he looks upon the Walker Percy-A. G. Smith campaign as of no great moment if indifferent to or against the Nebraskan the effort is of great importance A middle ground of opinion, upon which most of the conservative and wisest polt- ical watchers agree, is that the state will go for Bryan by a safe majority, and he will, on the unit rule, get the dele gation.
 Election Monday.
 The general state democratic primary is almost here, the voting to take place on Monday, May 1S The names of Bryan and Johnson will go on the ticket and be voted for direct The strength of each in this way will be ascertained. It will afford a way to know just how much the Johnson movement has amounted to- Even it's most enthusiastic supporters do not think it will get far in the rural terri tory for lack of education," as one of them put it. It is also suggested that the fight made by the Bryan leaders for some months, in which many pledges have been received, will have the effect to minimize the support of the other man. Unfortunate Speech.
 The recent speech of MT. Bryan in New York, made before an assembly of news paper men, seems to have hurt the Ne braska man more than anything he has said lately. At least three Alabama men have expressed disapproval of it, two of these being men who are now supporting the speaker. One said that he took oc- casion to lecture the press and scold the editors for treatment that he did not think, fair. "He brought out a mighty sore toe for our inspection" said one of them. T am very sorry he made the speech it left a bad taste in the mouths of those who heard it."
 But He Will Win.
 This man nor either of the trio, however, believes that the state will fail to indorse Mir Bryan. They think that he will have the delegation, by peculiar arrangement, instructed for him, and that so long as he IS in the fight will be able to vote
