PUBLIC BUILDINGS
ROOSEVELT WILL NOT
 VETO BILL.
Dothan VIII Get its Money But De- mopoIis May Lose-Improve- ments for Mobile and
 Montgomery.

Washington, May lS.-(Special )-- Some of the House Republicans claim to have assurances from President Roosevelt that he will not veto the public building bln.
 It is said that Congressman general Iv have got to be certain of this or thev will not run the risk of having tha session end next Saturday as nlanned by the leaders. They will, if there is any danger of losing this bill, remain in session ten or eleven days after 1t reaches the White House.
 The senate will doubtless add two items to the measure Tor each state. Dothan in Alabama Is certain to be one of these. for 1t is recognized that if should have a building on account of courts being held there.
 Before the House bill was even re- norted Congressman Clayton before the committee insisted upon an additional sum of Sso.ooO for Dothan. the bill in the previous Congress having appro- nriated $40, 900. making $100,00O in all. when the Senate adds the item.
 + is understood that members of the House committee replied to Mir. Clay ton 1t would subject them to criticism to allow the item In the first instance. but Chairman Bartholdt agreed with Mir. Clayton in the presence Of Sena- tor Bankhead that the bill shoulu pe amended in the Senate. IL Is now said that Bartholdt and the other House eonferees will stand by the proposition. thus assuring Dothan the appropria- ton.
 The understanding is that the Senate will not allow DemoDolis an appropri- ation this session for a building on ac- count of the postonice receipts being below the standard fixed. Represent ative Taylor. however. it is reported, got in the Senate bills $25,ooo for an addition to the Mobile building,
 The Senate bill will have the Second District as 1t was in the House Dill $25. 900 for Improvements in the Mont gomery building and $4o,ooo for Troy.
 The House committee allowed only two items on the bill for each district and out of the measures pressed by Colonel Wiley thev selected those they considered most urgent. He. like oth- CT Alabama members. had to be com tent even though he insisted upon the others going through. but he will press those in the next Congress.
 Colonel Wiley is not yet well enough to start for Hot Springs, His physi- elan thought he would certainly be able to leave tonight but his condi- ton Is too serious to run the risk of travel. Alfred J. Stoter'

SENSIBLE HOBBY
Well-Known People Devote Spare
 Time to Upbuilding Health.

Physical culture is getting to be more and more of a hobby with many people, who devote their spare time not only to upbunding thelr own phys ical health but in reaching doctrine of good health to others.
 There Is no excuse today for any per- disease remaining sickly with the great advance in medical discoveries and the growing popularity of physical cui- ture.
 In the diseases of digestion and nu- triton. for example. an acknowledged specific treatment has been found in Mi i-o-na. It Is relied upon as a cer- tainty in relieving the worst troubles of digestion and assimilation, and mak- ing a complete cure.
 People suffering with headaches pal pitation. sleepiessnes, bad taste In the mouth. coated tongue, distress after eating. specks before the eyes. ner- vousnesS and general debility ard any other of the many distressing results of weakened stomach, should profit by the discovery of Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
 E. G. Powder has seen so many cures by Mi-o-na of stomach and general run down state of health that he is firm believer in the power of, this remedy to cure practically every case, an9 he shows this faith by giving a guarantee with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na to refund the money unless it does all that is claimed for it. He takes the whole risk. and Mi-o-na will not eost you q penny unless it cures

OPPONENTS BRYAN
AN OPEN CONVENTION AT DENVER
 PREDICTED.
Friends of Governor Johnson show He- u,srkable Strength in Recent Elections-Msy Defeat the
 'H- Nebraskan.

Chicago, May 16.-(Special )-It Is believed in we'll informed political cir cies here that the fight for an open convention at Denver has been won' taking into account delegates alreaay chosen and known to be opposed to Bryan's nomination and those who will be unQuestionably against him.
 It appears that there are now in sight about 400 delegates at the least who will go to Denver to voice their tudsment that 1t Is not the part of wisdom to nominate MT. Bryan and at heart every man who thinks that 1t would be a mistake to nominate MT. Bryan believes that the wisest course the party can follow Is to nominate Governor Johnson.
 The Johnson forces have undoubtedly won the battle that has been in pro- gross in Michigan for three. weeks. Yesterday Bryan and his Michigan lieu- tenant, Committeeman Campau. were buried under an avalanche at the Wayne (DetroiD County primaries. get ting only fourteen delegates of up wards of hundred. The victory was so easy that the Johnson men hardly knew there was fight. The week be- fore Grand Rapids turned down the Bryan forces in the same ratio.
 It is certain that Michigan will send Johnson, though uninstructed, dele gation to Denver.
 | Another feature of the week was the declaration of twelve leading South ern Senators in favor of an open con- that this fs in effect a declaration for Johnson.
 In the East great importance is at- tached to the declaration of President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton for Gov ernor Johnson as the ideal Democrat.
 On top of all this came the astound- ing news tonight that the Johnson men had won a great victory in Montana. That former citadel of Bryanism, Deer Lodge County, the home of the late Marcus Daly. the mining king. who staked Bryan in his campaign of 1896. was. swept by the Johnson men and Q solid delegation of thirty-four in- structed; for Johnson was elected to the State Convention.
 Yesterday steps were taken in Chi cage to organize an inam enser Johnson Club for the purpose of serving notice on the Illinois delegation to Denver that as soon as it has discharged whatever obligations 1t may have to Mir. Bryan under the weak instruo- tions given for him, 1t must turn to the coming man, the party's man of the hour. John A. Johnson.
 The foregoing facts are taken from a mass of testimony that point to the certainty that the Democratic Party Is at last awake to opportunity and pro- poses to act with deliberatTon and avail itself of the chance for success next November. rf
 Much interest Is felt by all rational Democrats in the outcome of the Ala bama primary election Monday. While a Bryan victory in Alabama will not check the Johnson boom, a Johnson victory in that State would give the Johnson boom such an impetus that it would be sure to sweep on to Denver with certainty of success.

Coated Tongue First Symptom
 of Indigestion
Best Way to Treat Stomach Trorhiea Is With Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets, They Strengthen the Musclea
 and Nerves, and Increase
 Flow of Gastric Juices.

E When 1t is the morning after the night before. you do not have to look at your tongue to know that the stem ach Is upset, the head Is achInR with a dull rhythm and that all the world looks black and dreary.
 It may have been lobster Newburgh. Welsh rarebit or some other tasty dish that looked much better at night than the morning after. There Is no need to look at the tongue thermometer then for symptoms of trouble. You natur- 'alfy so to your box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and with one of the little re- Havers bring Joy and gladness to the physical system.
 The real time to watch the tongue is all the time. If it Is coated with a white fur or possibly with dark trim mlngs. even though the stomach does not tell you by the acute pains of ia- digestion that 1t needs help, yet the coating shows that you are getting h. to a bad way and that there is need of Mi-o-na.
 Used at the first symptom of a coat cd tongue, distress after eating, head aches. dull and lifeless feeling. Aaau- lence or any other of the early symp- toms of indigestion Mi-o-na will strengthen the stomach muscles 50 that they win take care of a1l the food that is' eaten without the slightest pain or discomfort. It will increase the flow of gastric juice 90 that the food digests as Nature intended 1t should. extracting the nourishment and strength and ex- polling the waste from the system without further aid.
 Mi-o-na ia so positive. 60 sure. SO ra- liable in its curative action upon the stomach that E. G. Fowler, the local agent, gives an absolute gusrantae with every 50-esnt box he sells to re- fund the money unless the remedy gives absolute and complete satisfae'. ton
