A PUBLICITY INNOVATION.

ssThe Largest Distillers in the World
 InauRurate Canpaign."
 The importance of bringing to the vast army of consumers the actual merits of goods hy printed word is growing daily. Many of the largest and most successful mercantile houses now recognize this style of publicity as an actual necessity. one of the most recent converts to this policy is the Clarke Brothers and Company, distIllers, of Peoria, III. On account of the uniform excellence of their whiskey they have for many years enjoyed such patronage that they are today the largest distiilers in the world.
 Tho chief idea of this concern in sn. terlng into an advertising campaign Is to acquaint consumers just how their famous clafke's Pure Rye may be obs tained promptly from the various deal" CTS throughout the country. The Gov ernment bottles this whisksy and guar antees it's strength and age Twelve full quarts. delivered. can be obtaineo for si2.00 or four full quarts for $500

 The ms6tiDga which the evanReIists of the Christian Church are conducting at the city auditorium are continuing to draw great crowds. and the under taking which Mr. Spiegel and Mir. Dub ber have started Is ncw a surety. Both of the evangeliets have attractive per- sonaIitIes and in their addresses to the nigbt4y congrt gatlops have greatly added to their number of friends.
 Tho evangelist took his text last evening from John Xiv. l-10. laying es- pecial emphasis upon the sixth verse in which it Is said. Jesus saith unto him, l saw the way. the truth and the life; no man comes unto the Father but by Me"
 The address which followed was sIn- gularly free. as have All Of the prsvi- Ous addresses of the meetings. from any denan1inational feeling and eritl. cism, This spirit iB the foundation work of a new church in the city have done much toward the successful eul. imitation of their IahoPs.

 Several writers of prominencs have been in Biroaingham looking up statis- tics as to prohibition. looking into the effects on the city proper, the smmedi- ate territory. looking into the illegal selling of liquor. Investigating, as far as possible, the amount of money that is being sent away for liquor. how It Is delivered and to what extent there is l.quor being consumed in the district.
 Inasmuch as many liquor dealers from Birmingham and the Birmingham district have moved away, the article Is likely to be of interest.

 Selma. March i2.-- Especial. ]. D--sh 0rt- ly before leaving on their inspection trIp down the river aboard the Hard Cash this afternoon, President Tender son and Secretary Kennedy of the state Railroad Commission, were ask ed concerning any action that might he taken relative to the .Fatlrosds clos ing up their various shops in the State.
 It was intimated to the officers that Selma citizens were considering taking some action and the question was ask Ad them what course would the Com mission pursue.
 The gist of their opinions was that they would have authority only lh so far as the statute gave them authority to require the railroads to provide sufficient and safe equipment" If if was proven that the shutting down of the shops has made equipment unsafe the only thing the Commission could do would be to order the roads to pro- vide sufficient and safe equipment
 This would not mean the opening of the shops as the roads would likely ind equipment that was In good c0ndi- tlOn idle and send 1t to take the place of that found to bA unsafe.

pneumonia resulted from the uncover
ing Of the lung it is believed the pa

during an operation for cancer in
yolving the removal of the entire
breast bone that DR.. Wight suddenly
noticed that the woman had not only
ceased to breathe but her heart had
stopped beating. He pressed his fin
gers against the sac covering the
heart and pressed it again and again
Gradually the muscles began to cx-
pand and contract. DR.. Wight contin-
ued to manipulate the heart until the
circulation was re-established and
was restored.

CHICAGO, June S-The Cook
County Jail was transformed into q
house OF worship for several minutes
yesterday when go prisoners joined
in prayer asking that the death sem
tence OF Herman Billik be committed
to life imprisonment
The prayer meeting, without equal
in the history OF the Jail, was entirely
unpremeGitatcd. Billik's wife and four
children were visiting him. just be
fore they left, his daughter, kneelng
near her father, started prayer.
20, God please save my papa" she
said.
Word was quickly passed from tier
to tier from the women's ward to the
pen. The building, which few mo-
ments before had been filled with
coarse laughter and coarser talk
quieted down and even the most hard
ened criminals there offered up a
word OF prayer that Billik's life might
be spared
Bilik himself, although he knows
that unless Gov, Dineen and the
Board OF Pardons act in his case to-
day, he will die on the gallows Fri
day, was apparently cheerful.
Il am confident that the Lord will
take care OF me-, he said.
81 am innocent Of the murder OF the
Vzral family and know Father o.
Callaghan and others who have work
ed in my behalf have obtained evi-
dence enough to cause the governor
and the Pardon Board to save me
from hanging.
But if it is decr"ed that | must die,
| will walk to the scaffold without
fear and will repeat there that ! am
innocent"
