GOSPEL OF GOOD CHEER.

In these days when medical research seems
TO be multiplying In an alarming manner me
number OF bodily ills that desh is heir to, the
voice Of DR. Woods Hutchinson crying out OF
the wilderness brings hope to the human race
Those who have trembled every time they drew
breath, ate q morsel of food or drank
glass of water will look into the future with
renewed courage, for in his latest book he tells
them many things that they have long wanted
to know, but did not dare believe
One of the oldest and fondest assumptions is
among the first to succumb TO his assaults, for
instead of telling u.s. as we have been told from
the beginning that what we want most Is what
we ought not to have he advises us that In
stinct is an almost unerring guide for appetite
Except in rare cases. the things we like best TO
eat and drink are the things that are best
for us.
Instead of the fruit faddist the nut faddist
the vegetable faddst the uncooked food fad
dist and the various other faddists being ex
amples of the beneicent effects of the sort OF
diet the followers of each Of these fads advO-
cate we are led by Or. Hutchinson to believe
as we are very willing TO believe, that these
npouIe really demonstrate the wonderful capacity
Of the human system for resisting the assaults
made unon II in the name Of health culture
He saws they live and move and have their be-
ing not because of the virtues Of the lives they
live but In spite Of the fact that they insist
on forcing their regimen upon a reluctant
system.
On the subject of sleep, too the doctor gets back
to first principles. Everybody has heard Gd nGH-
seam of the health, wealth and wisdom to be
acquired by those who rise early in the morning
DR. Franklin's title was not medical, SO let us
cheerfully accept the verdict of this later au-
thority that a man should 90 to sleep when he
is tired and sleep as long as he can "Civiliza-
ton and late hours go hand IN hand Most
Of us will have greater respect for civilization
from this time forward. And there is some
thing almost hilarious in the thought that all
"the activities-social, literary, cOnvivial phlo-
"sophc-that bring out what is best IN man
"are at their highest tide after o'clock in the
evening" The gospel of good cheer Is good
one 10 preach-up to a certain point.

 Treatment.

Tom Brown. a negro, was shot in the head and Instantly killed at his home in North Montgomery about g o'clock last night Henry Harris, his prother-in-law, Is sad to have killed
 The tragedy occurred at Browns house in Posters Avenue. where Har- ris. if is alleged. had gone to expos tuiate with Brown about his treatment of his wife. the sister of Harris.
 At leAs hour last night Harris had not been captured, although the police were making strenuous efforts 10 To-
 Brown. it was reported to the police. had disagreement with his wife, ana after treating her with great brutality, deserted her. Harris heard of the cir cumstances and about o'clock last night went to Browns house to expos tutate with him on his conduct in the matter In this way, 1t is believed, q hght began between the two men and volver and shot Brown.
 The ball penetrated the skull just above the left eye and lodged in tIIe stantly ss1s
 As soon as the police learned of the murder officers were sent to attempt to apprehend the criminal. but they were unable to find any trace of him
 The shopting occurred in the extreme northern part of Montgomery, and the delay iny informing the police of the happening gave him considera ble start of his pursuers It is thought that the negro immediately after the shoot Ing lied Into the country, and the of ncers had little hope of capturing him think, that he will remain a long time at large

MoRGAN COUNTY JAIL .
New Cages InstalIed and S Other Im-
 provements Made.

New Cages Installed and Other Im-
 provements Made.
 Decatur. June 13,-(Special. )-The Morgan County jail in this city has just had six new steel cages installed at a cost of $S5.000 and other improvements are being made about the jail, such as repairing old cages and the putting In of an entire new system of water pipes.
 This jail is known all over the coun- try on account of the numerous es- capes of prisoners that have taken place from the jail during the mast few years Many of the cakes were old and out of date. They were built years ago when prisoners were not as expert at jail breaking as they are now. Du- ring the past few years a number of men charged with murder and other serious crimes, have escaped from this jail and a number of them have never bee nheard from.
 Sheriff Thomas R. shipp. the pres- ent sheriff has caught and placed m jail more prisoners during his term of office than any other sheriff the County has ever had. During the past two years he has arrested about 500 and placed them in jail. Many of this number have escaped from the jail and Sheriff Shipp laughingly remarks, T can catch 'em if can't hold 'em."
 There is not another jail in Alabama that has had as many escapes during the past few years as has the Morgan County jail With the now cages and the other improvements which are be- ing made on the jail now 1t is safe to say that this jail in the future will be as safe as any Jail to be found in the entire country.

 !. D. Holmes, prominent merchant of the city, will leave tomorrow for Baltimore, Md. where on Thursday evening next he will wed Miss Agnes Kennedy of that city. Mir. Holmes and his bride will enjey a wedding tour of the North and will afterwards be at home to their friends at hIs resi- dence on Orange Street.
 The automobile spirit seems to have struck the city with full force. Tn ad- dltion to the numerous handsome ma chimes owned by private individuals and the proposed maintenance of a well Iregulated garage here, 1t is known that several others. the property of private citizens. are now in transit, and are expected to arrive any day.
 Although verging close to his sznd year, Mfr. A. Scheuer of this city IS stiil hale and hearty and pursues his regular daily routine of mercantile work with perhaps as great . degree of diligence as many men considerably younger. Mir. Scheuer Is still blessed with remarkable vision and by the aid of his glasses reads the great metro politan daiiies every night until II o'clock and arises early next morning All of his senses are in good state of preservation and he still manages to wieId pen with as much steadiness as the average young man. MT. Scheuer attributes his good health to his tenn perate habits. He partakes lightly of breakfast and supper and usually eats heartily at noon. He indulges in a light stimulant upon retiring and al- ways enjoys refreshing sumber. He Is regarded as . good historian upon all old-time topics which he reiates with remarkable accuracy and precision. Mir. Scheuer last his good wife about two years ago when she was 73, but not until after they had celebrated their golden wedding. Since then he occupies the family home with his young son. Harry Scheuer, and is ap- parently contented
 The betrothai of Miss Jennie Baer of this cihy and Herman Behrman of Dothan, has been made known and the wedding will be soiemnized sometime during the coming fall The event will mark an interesting social function here that will be witnessed by . large gathering of friends of the contracting parties. The prospective bride Is a daughter of the late Sam Behr, for many years one of the city's most pop ular mercantile men. and Is gifted and charming young woman. The in- tended groom stands high socially and Is prominent in business circles.

 Eufaula. June Especial. l--The armory of the Eufaula Rifles was the scene of a most interesting and enjoy able event last night, which was par ticipated In NnIga.by the members of the company and the Eufaula military band. The occasion was rendered by the company, the military band being tho only guests
 About 3 o'clock the exercises were opened with several selections by the band, and the intervening time was employed in social chats, interspersed with delicious beverages and Ices. About midnight a tempting luncheon, consisting of fowls and salads pre- pared especially for the occasion, to- gether with fruits. wines and almost every luxury, was heartily partaken, and short talks and toasts were in- dulged in until quite late hour. The military company here is composed of the very best element of the young men of the city, who are not only en- thusiastic over it's welfare, but who enjoy a reputation for refinement and hospitality rarely equaled. Captain K B. Mckenzie Is prominent in military affairs and presides over the company with degree of kindness and firm ness that has greatly endeared him to every member of 1t. The evening marked q new departure in the way of social functions In the city and was greatly enjoyed.
