BARGE RATES
 ARE DEFINED K. K. Commission Pro- mulgates Order. ONE HUNDRED TONS MINIMUM Rates Will Be Sixty Per Cent of
 Regular Charges. shipments To Be From single shipper To One onsisnee--Demurrage
 May Be Charged At

Barge service and what constitutes a barge rate were defined in an order of the Railroad Commission issued yes- terday and mailed to the owners of steamboats and barges on the Ala bama and Tombigbee rivers This order is not effective today but will be amde final after December If on that date or prior good reasons are not assigned to the contrary.
 The action of the Commission fol- lows one day the extended hearing of rival barge and steamboat lines on the two rivers of the State grant ed by that body Tuesday. The order was made from the facts as ascer- tained at the hearing. It is calculated to allow the Birmingham and Gulf Navigation Company to proceed with the barge line which they. had ar- ranged to establish on November. 13 but which was arrested by the Com missions order for an investigation.
 By the order the, rates. are to be sixty per cent of the regular Com riIssion-Fnade, schedules for freight on boats carrying mixed passengers and freiEht. But there are great hmita- tions on this barge business. The barges must be loaded and un1oaded by the shippers and consignee. com signed by one shipper to one consignee and to one destination and from one point, and must carry mini mum of one hundred tons.
 It is provided. however. that In shipments of less than the full weight the entire weight may be paid for at the barge rate for such. On these terms the cargo can move legally. In cases of mixed shipments that fall be- low the full weight required the dif- ference in weight must be paid for at the rate of the highest class in the consignment.
 In all cases where owners have their own barges transportation com panies shall pay at the rate of $S per day for rent of the same. Where transportation companies furnish the bargss demurrage of ss per day may be imposed after seventy-two hours. The order commands the transporta- ton companies to see that good on barges shall be protected against ad- verse weather conditions by the use of tarpaulins.
 Copies of the order have been sent all parties interested and 1t Is the opinion Of the commissioners that the rates and service definitions will be satisfactory to the warning clements on the rivers and that the packet and the barge service will not interfere with one another.

Dave, chairman of the Arrangements Committee of the Congress. has receiV- ed acceptances from Ambassador James Bryce of Great Britain, an acquaint- ance of Mr. Dave, who is also an Eng lishman; E. Mayor des Planches, royal Ambassador of Italy; Minister Enrique cortes of Colombia. L. Moltke, Minister from Denmark; J. J. Jusaerand.

 In the acceptances the various rep resentatives of the powers express the keenest appreciation of the invitation and assure Mir. Dave they will be in terested visitors at the great gather ing.
 Interest in the Southern Commercial Congress is spreading from the South ern States all over the country. The various telegraph lines of the country are besetting the home oftice with in- qulries and requests for interviews and asking that if possible copies of the speeches to be delivered by Secretary of War Wright. J. F. Wallace, Presi- dent of the Civil Engineers of America and numerous other leading men who VIII HpeAk on buDJSCbS VI p@A eAs interest, be forwarded them.
 Letters written the heads of the Southern educational institutions are being answered in volume. and besides these, letters are being received daily asking for ffifofmation concerning Montgomery, Ala, and the South in general. Four letters were received Wednesdyay from Chicago, IL. and Toledo, O.. asking pertinent questions about the advisability of investing cap ital in this city. what branches of man ufactory would be the most profitable, and what water transportation factli- ties the river afforded for heavy freight. f
 MT. Dave has been up to this ears in work for the last month In the Southern Congress and did not expect the returns from the Congress to the south would come as soon as they have. The result has been that he has had to add to his office force in order to han die the steadily-increasing correspond ence.
 The greatest success is now assured the South ern Commercial Congress and from every side the prediction is be- ing made that 1t will be second a walk ening of the South.

 Gas ia IntsstiAes.
NEW FACTS BEcoMINdKNoWN

Physicians are coming to recognize generally that better results are being obtained in the treatment of chronic Indigestion by the use of alkaline elixirs and neutralixing mixtures than by con- tinued administrations of pepsin. That such should be the case Is not due to natural prejudice on the part of pa- uents against pepBin. as an unsavory animal product. for too few of them are aware of the nature of pepsin to cause limitation of It's usefulness on that account: nor is 1t due to the un- deniable fact that pepsin loses it's sf- ficacy on being exposed. It seema to De largely due to the spreading knowi- edge that pepsin Is effective only fin an acid medium. and then only upon proteids-not upon other food aIe- ments. as fats and starchee--and that 1t has. again. no effect whatever in cases where the seat of the trouble is in the intestines. This is the definite limitation of pepsin. that. in order for it to do it's work. the stomach must be acid in reaction, whereas the in- testines. in which most obstruction tand consequently most fermentation) occurs, is always alkaline.
 On the other hand. the neutralizing agents correct the excess of acid in the stomach. stop the fermentation, and mus put check on Ino Iormax1on Of gas in the intestines. Furthermore. they tend to increase the flow of the digestive secretions. and have a dis tinct value in eliminating from the system the waste products of diges- tion.
 We give below the formula of one of the best neutralixing mixtures. that can be readily prepared by any one at home: Sodium phosphate. 1-2 oE; essence of ssainint, 1 OF; good baking soda. la teaspoonful Mix these in an eight ounce bottle. and add enough pure water to flil the bottle. Take two teaspoonfuis before each meal. It fs aaid that. by virtue of it's neutFaIlxing tction. this simple inexpensive remedy will give relisf from gas within q lew minutes, and that it will actually .ure the most obstinate cases of tn- digestion and dypepsia within two or Aree weeks.
 Anyone is free to use this formula tnd make this medicine up foe himself tt home. All the ingredients can be IAA of any druggist at S cost of about s or 70 cents.

 states Attorney Smith, in closing. declared that the defense argued one minute that Mrs Guness was alive, and the next that she was dead. He reviewed the evidence of the teeth ana pr. Norton's testimony. He endeav- ored to dIscredit the testimony of Hut son and his daughters. Pointing a finger at Lamphere, he exclaimed; i; What was the defendant doing during the one hour and forty-five minutes which. according to his own statements, was the time consumed In going mile and a quarter? I do not ask you to vindicate Mrs. Guinness. but have a right to plead in the name of God in behalf of those three little, inno- cent children"
 The reading of the judges instruc- tions required fifteen minutes. The court explained that Lamphere was charged with premeditated murder. The eredibiiity of the witnesses was dweit upon aed the jury was told that circumstantial evidence is many times quite as conclusive as direct and posi- tive evidence. The greatest stress was laid on the following instructions. most of which were declared to be rath- CT favorable to the State:
 Tn this case, the defendant has fail- ed to testify, and he has right to do so, and the fact that he does not tes- tify will raise no presumption of any kind against him.
 "The indictment In this case charges the killing of four persons. and If you believe from the evidence beyond req sonabie doubt that any one or more of the persons alleged to have been killed in the manner and form as charged in the indictment. you may convict the defendant.
 Under the indictment in this case, 1t is prerequisite that the State should show beyond a reasonable doubt that the persons alleged to have been killed were killed by and through the com mission of the crime of arson. In other words. if you should find from the evidence that the persons alleged to have been killed by the commission of arson. or If you should entertain reasonable doubt as to the manner in which they met death. then you should acquit the defendant of murder"

TURN THE RASCALS OUT

When the ostrich is pursued he hides
his head in the sand and thinks he is out
of dangerl
So the Republican machine IN Idaho
think that by hiding the report Of the
expert, which the Statesman alleges shows
a deficit of S14, 900 in the state treasury,
they are out of danger
The intelligence Of the ostrich IS no
thing to brag of, but it is equal TO the
displayed by the Republican
gang in Idaho.
The people demand an opportunity to
look at the books; and they will have
that opportunity by electlng Alexander
and his Democratic associates
