Story Of Murder Told.

Mrs. Howard told of the killing Of her
child. describing how she had taken her
to the woods and cut her throat with a
razor belonging to Carver. Carver, she
declared, induced her to commit the
crime, telling her he would not live with
her unless she got rid of the little girl.
He provided the razor, she told the mag
istrate. and suggested that she take the
child to the woods where they had gath
cred berries last summer.
Asked how she had come to make a
statement duplicating Carver. Mrs. How
ard said she realized the seriousness OF
the situation and feared. God would not
forgive her for what she had done unless
she told the truth. She detailed her
movements the day the murder was COM
mitted, and said she had made up her
mind to tell the whole truth about the
affair.
Carver entered wholesale denial to the
charges against him: but the magistrate
thought enough was shown to justify him
in holding both prisoners for the action
Of the grand jury.

Proof That
 Charcoal Will
 Absorb Impurities
Many People Are Not "From Missouri" But They Like to Be Shown-A Simple Yet EffectuaI Test
 for Charcoal.

Frequently people like to know if an article will do all that is claimed of it, and we agree wtN these people for 1t is perfectly right that they should know The F. A. Stuart Co. has gone to considerable expense to perfect some simple method by which it could be convincingly proven that their Char coal Lozenges possessed all the medicinal qualities claimed of them. and herein print simple yet effective proof
 Take anything which emits an obnox- ious ordor and place it in some conven- lent place, say in a box or something that can be easily covered. Then pull verize sufficient of Stuarts Charcoal Lo- Eenges to completely cover the decaying or odious matter. Care must be taken that the pulverized charcoal completely envelops whatever the odor is coming from. It will be immediately noticed that there will be no odor; the charcoal will absorb positively all the odor and should you make the test with a piece of meat or something that decays rapidly complete disintegra ton will take place without tho slightest traces of an ordor noticeable.
 This is proof positive that Stuart's $ Charcoal Lozenges will eliminate odors and insure the user clean, sweet breath. While the general improvement in the health and action of the stomach and bowels will be sufficient to convince the most skeptic.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are fcH sale everywhere, 25 cents box, guaranteed to contain nothing but young willow wood charcoal and pure honey, sample sent free upon request. Address F. A. Stuart Co., N0 Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

MRS. HATTIE POPE
 HELD FUR MURDER Charged With Killing Her Own
 Mother, Mrs. King
VERY DAMAGING EVIDENCE
Witnesses Testify That Bad Feeling Had Existed for Some Time Be- tween the Murdered Woman
 and Her Daughter.

Clanton, March I.-(Special )--Remand- ed to jail without bail, is the order of Judge l.. H. Reynolds, in the preliminary hearing of the state against Mrs. Hattie Pope, which came to an end at noon today. Two witnesses were examined, after which the court ruled that the evil dence was sufficient to establish a reason able belief that Mrs. Pope did take the life of Mrs. Margaret King, her own mother, near Montevallo, few weeks ago.
 Morris Reynolds testified that bloody clothing. two waists and skirt, the prop erty of Mrs. Pope, were found in the room of the defendant, and that she was seen to go to the trunk and look al them after the death of the mother and be- fore her arrest. The clothing were stuffed down into the bottom of the trunk and the defendant seemed to be very solicitous about the contents.
 Mrs. J. C. Pope, mother of Woodson Pope, the husband of the defendant, swore that there was i'll feeling between the woman and her husband and between Mrs. Pope and her mother who was killed. She said that her son and his wife fell out Christmas of @0S, and have been apart since that time.
 Mrs. Pope will have to remain in jail here until May, the grand jury not as- sembiIng until then. Any effort on her part 10 secure release by habeas corpus will be fought.
 The town was full of women, induced here by the trial They came in wagons and in buggies and in the old fashioned horseback style. It made the town look like holiday, as not few brought along lunch
 It will be remembered that the body of Mrs. King was found in her home about six miles from Montevallo in the north ...t Of CIx.I afternoon. Her throat was cut from ear to ear and an ugly wound appeared on the head The discovery was made by grandson of the dead woman-a son of the woman held for the murder
 Mrs. Pope, accused of the crime, was at the house of neighbor at the time the body was found. She had been liv- ing with her mother for some months.
 Mrs King was about 70 years of age and was almost blind.

BOY IS DROWNED
 NEAR FORT PAYNE
TWO OTHER BOYS WHO ARE WITH HIM WHEN THE BOAT CAPSIZES EscAPE-MRS. MELVILLE DIES AT HOME OF SON.

Fort Payne. March 1z-(SpeciaI)- Sunday afternoon young boy by the name of Miller was drowned in Town creek on Sand mountain, a few miles west of this place. He and two other boys were boating on the creek, which of the last f/w days the canoe in which they were riding overturned and threw them all into the water, and 1t is sup posed that young Miller was caught in some manner by the canoe and drowned, as the other boys swan to the shore and were unhurt but badly frightened. The body of young Miller has not yet been recovered and 1t Is supposed that 1t was washed many miles down the creek
 Town creek which runs along the brow of Sand mountain has always been con sidered very dangerous as the chan mel is deep and the water swift even in summertime when the waters are low.
 Mrs. Merville of Attalla died here Sun day night at the home of her son. A. B. Merville after an illness of only a few days. She was visiting her son when she was stricken with paralysis on last Friday.
 Services were held at the family resi- dence this morning by the Rev. c. l.. Herring, pastor of the Methodist church. and the remains were shipped to Attalla for interment by the side of her hus- band. who died few years ago.
 She was an estimable Christian woman and the mother of two sons who are left to mourn her loss.

ancient superstitions of organism.
 "Dauntless missionaries like Saints Co., lumbar, Killian and thousands of others, wearing the garb of St. Benedict, crossed the sea and preached the Gospel of Christ to the Germanic tribes of Saxons, Fries flanders, Franks and Bavarans. Yea, the feast of St. Patrick brings to our mem ory all the wonderful histories of the past 1t tells us of the Christian heroes who were the source of blessings for Ireland, and many other nations. His history should go down from father to son, from century to century, that his august name should never be forgotten
 When the sun goes down in the west leaving darkness behind 1t sends soft rays of light to the countries which before had been in the shadows of night. About the time that Ireland received the faith of God northern Africa which had four ished resplendently among the churches of Christianity was lost to the faith; and similarly numerous countries of Europe and Asia lost their faith when they de- serted the one true church. Asia and Africa fell back into Mahometansm; Ire land, however, through 1400 years has kept intact the faith which St. Patrick brought to it. Centuries passed. per secutions arose, yet Ireland stood firm and faithful to the holy Catholic church. This grace St. Patrick had implored for the land which he converted, and this grace he will also obtain for us, pro vided we pray to him; namely, to perse we're as true and faithful sons of our holy church until the end of our lives.
 Therefore let us be practical In our faith, let us not become Christians only in name, but Christians in very deed. St. Patrick could never have become the great apostle of Ireland if in his youth he had not gained full control of his evil inclinations, which are the sad lot of every man since Adams fall We must remove our evil habits. must curb our sinful inclinations, and that we may sue ceed in overcoming our own sinful self, let us ask the intercession of St. Patrick at the throne of God, so that when our eyes are closed in death they may be opened again in a world of eternal light and happiness. Amen.
