DOVER'S PONDER

Eliminates Infection and Thus
 Cures Colds.
BUT Ss oNE.TENTH OPIUM
Should Never Be Given to Children, Who Are Very Susceptible to Its In7Iuence-Nor to Women With
 Delicate Constitutions.

Several years ago Dover's Powders was very generally used in the treatment of severe colds. It is still being used in some sections of the country for this purpose, though, since 1t became general ly known that Dovers Powders contain one-tenth opium, it is received with less favor than formerly. Especaly is this so among the older and better informed people, for most Of them are in a posi- tion to know that opium is unsafe except for an adult of sound constitution, and that it should never be given to chil- dren.
 Perhaps the chief general objection to opium Is to it's narcotic effect, though g. strong objection to it in this instance Is that it is very constipatIng, and thus keeps the cold from being passed out Of the body Everybody knows that the important thing in cola is to keep the bowels free. .
 It is now possible, by the proper use of Aloquin, to open the pores, loosen the =phlegm, and start active secretion equal iy as well as by the use of Dover 8 Powders. Furthermore, in addition to be- ing free from depressant or narcotic ef- feet. Aloquin has bsen found to be slight Ny lax .tive Any one, py taking two grains of Aloduin at bedtime, and one grain each hour the next day, can rid himself of cold, easily and inexpensive ly A warm foot bath and glass of hot lemonade the fast thing at night have also been found useful.
 A bad cold may lead to acute bron- chitis or pneumonia and should not be neglected. Any pharmacist here should be able to supply Aloquin in the form of one-grain tablets. st.,ss

him, and 1t was hard for me to believe that he, IS an officer of the county, would refuse outright to grant any req sonable request I would make for the interest of the county. When, however. he goes before the grand jury and gets that body to refuse to hear evidence in, cases that should be investigated and when he refused to mol pross a case against crazy man when proper papers were ready to take him to the asylum. after being informed that this man was uncomfortable and that for two days and nights he kelt other prisoners from get ting any rest at all, and in order to get relief l had to go over the head of the solicitor and ask Judge Dan A. Greene for the release, which he promptly gave me.
 It was then that I realized that he thought he was indeed the czar of Jeffer- son county.
 I simply call attention to these facts so the people may judge whether ! am getting the help should have in my ef- forts to try to do my sworn duty.
 If the solicitor was so anxious to look after the county interests, why did he mol prosse all the strike cases without requiring the defendants to come in open court, as he does in every other poor mans case before he can be dismissed?
 He knew if he looked at the warrants and bonds that foreign corporation had deposited thousands upon thousands of dollars in banks in Birmingham and these hanks had made the bonds for a large majority of these cases. If he had re- ouired them to come into open court there would have been enough forfeited bonds to more thar pay all cost the county has lost for any number of the parties who were under bond had left the state never to return. Did the solicitor mol prosse the cases to keep me from making few more dollars serving the Sci. Fla. papers on the banks for the forfeited bonds, thereby saving the county all the costs 1t now loses, or was it because he wanted to re- lease the thousands upon thousands of dollars that was on deposit for the bonds
 He says I furnished no evidence in the cases I contend should not have been mol pressed. I am now trying to devise some way by which I can present the evidence but the solicitor refused to let me give it to the court. He refuses to let the witnesses testify after they had already been summoned before the grand jury. These were the only two tribunals of justice in the county to hear the evil dence.
 He says in another place that if he had insisted on the defendants paying the costs in cash. I would not have com plained. Then he says I will get my posts no matter how the cases are disposed of. '. will say candidly would rather the de- fendants who are guilty pay my cost than to have the county pay it.
 The solicitor says he draws a salary, end that he could not have pecuniary in terest in the cases.
 It is true he draws as much salary for

of these same syndicates were caught several months before operating. Out of a total of 28 cases, the solicitor mol pressed 23, on the promise to the judge that no attempt would be made to operate them again. But the machines were op- erated again and the cases were mol pressed again
 I could cite many other cases with sufficient evidence to convict, but was never given an opportunity to present it. This is enough to give the public small inkling of what is lost every year by the wholesale mol pressing of cases This vast sum of money is not paid by private corporations, but is lost to the taxpayers of the county
 The amount of fees collect is pre- scribed by law Compensation I receive for extra deputy sheriffs during the strike seems to be a great worry to the solicitor. It is his big club to knock with, and he goes even farther. He says I draw from the county $5 for every man arrested for any offense and put in jail, and $3 for every man who makes bond before going to jail
 Every lawyer in Birmingham, with the exception Of the learned solicitor, and any citizen who knows anything about the working of the courts, knows that when an arrest is made, for any offense, return
 
 peace, if the party is not convicted that the sheriff not only loses all his fees, but the expense of capturing the prisoner and l railroad fares in bringing him to jail | and to trial.
 l I am very much surprised to have the | learned solicitor acknowledge that he did l not know that this was the law. I can | not understand why the solicitor has | never raised a cry before against some ! of the sheriffs who have served before me- They drew the same fees fixed by | law that I am drawing, and those who | had strikes during their term made the | same satisfactory agreement I did with | the operators, received the same compen- | sation and some of them more. l Does any one doubt that if he were sheriff he would not do the same as we l all have done-get all we can honestly out | of the office? The only way can account l for it is because the solicitor belongs to | that big anG powerful ring. He did all | in his power to keep me out of office, has | done all he could to hamper my admins- | tration and will continue to do so as long | as I differ with him on any subject l regret very much that such conditions | exist. So far as I am concerned I shall ! continue to give him all the assistance he | will let me in inforcing the law. and will | continue to the best of my ability to ap- | prehend all vfolators of the law. I I have never received dollar from the I county but what the law has given me, ! and never a dollar from other sources
 that did not fulfill my agreement, and
 give the services promised. Can Solicitor ! Hehin say as much?

Tammany Society Thinks Of Moving
Uptown Again.

NEW YORK. May 12.-After the Tam
many Society at Its meeting tonight has
installed the four new sachems and has
elected Daniel F. Cohalan grand sachem
the advisability of abandoning the 14th
street wigwam and moving Tam
many Hall further uptown will be dis
cussed. The Tammany Society Is the
owner and custodian Of Tammany Hall. It
is known that the society has received
several attractive offers for the 18th

frontage on the street. and the accept
ance Of any one of these offers would al
low the society to erect a modern building
and put a large surplus in bank.
1t is urged by those in favor Of selling
the building that 1t Is inconvenient and
that the assemblage hall is too small
Most Of the sachems are said to be in
favor Of the change and are of the opin-
lon that the new headquarters should be
near the Columbus Circle. No new site
has vet been considered. but 1t is under
stood that a resolution will be adopted to-
night committing the society to a change
of headquarters. The selling of Tammany
Hall would mean also the closing Of Tony
Pastors Theater. which Is a part OF the
building. Tony. like Tammany. has moved

House Committee Investigating Cost
of Electric Current.

of Electric Current.
As result of charges made by Rep
resentatiye Cary of Wisconsin and wide
ly published In newspapers to the effect
that the provision in the sundry civil
bill authorizing the Secretary Of the
Treasury to contract for electric current
at rate of cents for the first milliop
kilowat hours and ~ cents for each sue
ceeding million hours created monopoly
for the benefit of the Potomac Electric
Power Company. the House appropria-
tions committee today began a series Of
hearings to determine what basis there
was. If any. for Mr.. Cary's assertions.
Mr.. Cary also alleged that this parasraph
very harsh things about 1t. and about the
committee which reported 1t.
Today at the executive hearing on the
subject Mr.. Cary and representative

rotary. made statements and the commit
tee heard John H. Lorch. president of

assertion that 2H cents. the price, fixed
in the provision. was extortionate. Mr..
Dawson offered a compilation of figures
showing that at the United States navy
