THE PASSING THRONC
me RepubIican's Emblem.

"Yes, sir" said the prominent Re- publican. whitening with his heated gaze the snickering crowd around h i'm, the most momentous problem before the American party today is the ques- tion of the emblems which are to adorn the tickets of the two factions of our noble organization. I will de- clare. gentlemen and ladies'" glimps- ing the females entering, a store across the street, that the considera- ton Is one of vital importance.
 The Davidson faction demands jus tice. The emblem for which they con test was adopted by them when moth erless and fatherless 1t starved for publicity. As usurpers, the Thompson crowd attempted to wrest from us our rights. vested in the eternal liberties of mankind. I trample beneath my feet" raising and lowering first one and then the other extremity upon the concealed corn of his neighbor, the disloyal. dislntegrating members of our standard. May the edict of adverse legality overvshelm their cor the worthy public bury in dish onor their cherished ambition"
 Why" said the neighbor, do you not both dispense with the emblem? Let a blank space only rest above the names of the ticket. Thus will be symbolized the purity of the party the emptiness of it's claims" he was a Democrat. and the clear sky which overhangs the election at hand
 Or" continued neighbor Number Two. why do you not decorate the tickets with the image of the donkey, inscribing upon both the motto. do the kicking-vote and you vote alone.'"
 But the initial speaker had become disgusted and was moving away when his arm was clasped in a vice-like grip Quit, quit; turn me loose" he said.
 And when no attention was given his request. he whispered, 'Gentlemen- he did not see the ladies coming out of the store. Give me liberty or give me a drink" :"
 He got both.

Thrown one after one Into large barrel partly filled with water. twenty five dogs were drowned Tuesday after noon In the pen near police headauar- ters. As the poor brutes struggled to keep their heads above the surface of
 the water. heavy top would be
 pressed down over the opening and they would be forced down into the
 liquid.
 Though the method of disposing of the dogs appeared at a superficial glance most cruel. in reality It was probably more humane than snootfns and the sight presently was certainly less grewsome.
 Similar incidents have proved that
 in shooting dogs much unnecessary pain is entailed upon the animals. Ere auently the aim Is not accurate. and the wounded brute crawls around crip- pled until dispatched. Sometimes several shots must be fired before death is inflicted.

FAIR WEATHER WITH
 SOME FEW CLOUDS
Weather Bureau Predicts Some Nic'
 Weather For Montgomery.

Weather For Montgomery.
 Clouds will doubtless listlessly oc- cupy the sky today, but never fear. If the weather bureau has predicted correctly the conditions which will prevail no rain will fall. Generally fair weather and moderate tempera- lures are expected for today and prob ably for tomorrow.
 The influence under which rain Is tabooed is the existence of an area of high barometer in the northeast sec tion of the country. It, the area. Is moving so srowly to the east that It's effect will. 1t Is expected. be main tatned throughout the next forty-eight hours If that be true then 1t will be fair.
 Drifting across the sky yesterday af- ternoon, clouds almost gave many of inc baseball enthusiasts of the city mental indigestion. It was declared that only one game of baseball could be played, which was an idea that ap- pealed to few.
 Calculations were upset. however, and two very inspiring contests were pulled off. The area of high barome- ter which was located many miles away was responsible for the condi- tlons giving opportunity to the team to retrieve their defeat of the preced- ing day.
 The temperature was moderate. the rmometer registering only about SC during the heated portion of the day.

As Big as Half DoIIars-Followed
 Attack of varicose velns--Would
 Lie in Misery Almost All Night i Cried with the Terrible Pain.
HIS CURE RESULTED
 FROM USING CUTlCURA

T had varicose veins and was in the hospital three weeks. After was dis charged big ulcers broke out on my ankles. I got some of the ointment which they had given me but 1t did not do me one bit of good. They kept getting instead of better and really I could just manage to get along: had places broken out as big as . half dollar and I used to lie in misery almost all night long and would cry with the pains, which were something terrible. When I got up would have to Gt in two chairs in order to rest my ankles. My sister advised me to try the Cuti- cura Remedies. I washed my ankles with hot water and Cuticura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and l had instant relief the first time used them. Now l am very glad to cay that my ulcers are ali healed up and 1 can walk as well as anybody. Robt. E: L. Oliver. 343s Cedar Ave. HAmpdeni Baltimore. Md, Jan. II and IS. leos."

MISS VIRGINIA JEWETT

She Was the Daughter of the Late Major o. s. yeweft, and Was We'll
 Beloved tn Montgomery.

Miss Virginia Jewett daughter of Major and Mrs. o. s. Jewett, died at o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the home of her parents SIP Madison ave- nue. Miss Jewett had been III only a few days and the. unexpectedness of her death greatly shocked the com munity.
 Miss Jewett was a young woman of exceptional qualities. To marked in- tellectuality she added graciousness and kindliness. Her friends were numerous and few members of the community enjoyed in higher degree the love of those who knew her.
 The deceased is survived by her mother, Mrs. O. S. Jewett, and by one sister. Mrs. S. B Marks. Jr. Her father. Major O. S. Jewett, was a gal lant Confederate soldier. He held the position of major in the 3sth Alabama Infantry and would have perhaps been destined for a higher once of trust had not his career been ended at the Battle of Chickamauga. In the fierce carnage of that struggle he was killed.
 The funeral will be held from St. Johns Episcopal Church at o'clock this afternoon. Rev. E. F. Cobbs will officiate at the ceremony and the in- terment will be made in Oakwood cem- etery.
