Shriners Elect Officers
 After Enjoyable Suppe,

The shriners of Montgomery can't have q temple because of some kind of rules of their own and must con- tent themselves with club. But if they content themselves with club. even, they are not necessarily hard to please. When they met last night to re-elect officers they did 1t in the most fanciful fashion possible. They had the finest kind of a Dutch lunch at the Theatrical Club, where the Pres ident, E ]. Mahoney. assisted by Eu- gene Manning and John Ryan. gave out the best that was to be had--and tAat is saying a great deal
 The Shriners' Club of Montgomery is really much better than temple in some respects. for there Is not q temple in the world that has better fellows. There are ever so many members of 1t and there are lots of fellows that can't wear either the scimftar or the fez that just butt in as if they belonged there: and they are always welcomed. When time was called last night there were more than thirty present--nobooy counted them. They had the best kind of food put before them and 1t was served in a pretty fashion that made 1t taste just

 gressman. Lg l.

Troy. June 2s.--( Special )--Capt. O. C. Wiley. of Troy. brother Of the late Congressman A. A. Wiley, will be candidate for the short term as Rep resentative of the Second District
 In an interview today Captain Wiley said he had received most encouraging offers of assistance from friends all over the district in the event of his candidacy and that he had seriously considered the proposition in deference to these expressions of good will but that business interests demanded his time and attention to the exclusion of political aspirations, hence he would venture no further Into the political arena than to seek the nomination for the short or unexpired term ending March {. 1909.
 It was further stated that subject to the action of the Democratic Par. ty his candidacy was announced and that an active campaign -Tould be in augurated
 He has had letters from a number of the leading candidates who have already announced stating that they would not only not oppose Captain Wi- ley for the short term. but that they considered it fitting and proper that ha should be allowed to finish the term of his lamented brother. Captain Wiz ley was closely Associated with his brother and knew, probably, more of the objects and aims which the latter sought to accomplish for the good of the Second Congressional District than any man In the district. He says If chosen as his brothers successor, he will strive with ell the resources at his command, to bring to a successful issue those matters which the untine- ly death of Colonel Wiley left untin- ished.
 Captain Wiley is well known throughout the district. He Is vict President and General Manager of the largest manufacturing enterprise oi Southeast Alabama. the Standard ChenaIcal and oil Company of this city He has never sought public oface be- fore, but he has served the Democrati' Party faithfully through a long tern of years He was for two years chair man of the County Democratic Exec uttve Committee, for four years mem bar of the State Executive Commttte' and during 1888 and 1892 he servet inc party as alternate delegate to th' National Conventions.
 For q number of years he has beer and Id at present, Chairman of th' Roard of Trustees of the State Norma college located in this city.
 Since the death of Colonel Wiley < it has been frequently remarked tha if would be q gracious tribute to thu memory Of his distinguished brother ana d practical expression of such sentiment. to send his brother to rounc out the unfinished term of a rev months.

Oyster Bay, June 2s.--Inquiry into the purpose of the recent visit to oys- ter Bay of Frank B. Kellogg and his extended conferences with Secretary Taft and President Roosevelt have de- veIoped the conjecture that he Is the person whom Secretary Taft would like to see named as chairman of the Republican National Campaign Com mittee.
 In view of the fact that . sub-com- mittee of the National Committee is coming to Hot Springs on July to confer with Secretary Taft about the selection of a chairman. 1t would scarcely be proper etiquette to an- nounce in advance the preference of the Secretary. hence the tmpossibility of any authoritative announcement of MT. Kellogg's selection at this stage. Mir Kellogg, by the way.

Don't Purge the BoweIs-Do as Nature Does

Nature gets her laxatives from food. If you ate plenty of fruit, coarse food and green vegetables, you would get laxative enough. But you eat fine food, and too much of 1t. And you exercise too little. So 1t is vital that you help the bowels in another way. But don't use salts or pill cathnrties. Never employ harsh physic. Nature does all things gently. Give her gentle help. cascaTets arc vegetable. They have just the same effect as a laxative food.
