 S Statement That Tke Dfsesse To Prevalest Throughout

smaif-pox isy prevalent all over Ala bama. says the State Health officer. The doctors from nearly all sections are sending In many more reports of this disease, by far, than of any other The cases so far as can be learned. are not confined to any, particular part of the State. The cases are uniformly slight and. being scattered. are no- where in epidemic proportions.
 The four french suspected of small pox. who were held in the house of de- tention,, awaiting developed symptoms. were taken to the pest house early yes- terday morning. Their attack ts sfortu- nately, very slight. In addition. seven pegroes were hurried to the emergency hospital during the day. < This makes thirty-six people who are now confined with the disease, the record, for the last i've years. ss
 [ Though compulsory vaccination has been taken under advise- ment for checking the run of smallpox. 1t was dcided by the city health officials that such strin- gent steps are not at. all necessary, The work required. in their opinion, Is a careful investigation of all sus- picious cases, and this Is being car ried out carefully. The sanitary de- partment has, however. offered to give texin gratuitously to those doctors who will vaccinate free of charge. The City physician and the health officials of the city. offer to vaccinate. without charge, any who may apply to them.

Makes His own Hair TOnie and Saves
 Money.
 The average man when he pays Is cents for one application of a hair tonic thinks he Is paying pretty good price, but nevertheless the bar Der isn't making as much money as his customer supposes. The ready-to- use quinine hair tonics of real merit are expensive preparations. costing &I.OO and $1 50 for small bottles. But there is one progressive barber who has found . way to satisfy his customers and more than break evenv on the use of a qninine hair tonic. He makes 1t himself, using only one ounce of Beta QuinoI and half a pint of alcohol and half a pint of water. This gives him a genuine and excellent hair tonic for about one-third the usual cost His own preparation pleases his customers better than the higher-priced tonics he formerly used. There is nothing bet ter than Beta Quinol for the hair, for 1t keeps the scalp in clean and healthy condition, removes dandruf and makes the hair soft and luxuriant. This home made Beta QuinOl hair tonic has stopped falling hair on many of the barber's. patrons. He has given his recipe to several of them and his GUS toners are now making the tonic them selves The materials can be proeured at any drug store. Simply shake them we'll together and they are ready 10 use.

OFFER REWARD FOR MURDERERS Hope to Clear Up Local Mystery. sIoo OFFERED AT PRESENT Sum May Later Be Increased by

 The request for the reward came from Solicitor Phil Stern, accompanied by the names of many prominent Mont gomerians.

 Tuesday. brought. to all appearances, further accumulation of clues in the murder mystery. clues of such variety and number as to bewilder the officials. And yet, with all the clues in sight among the sleuths of the city and the county that developments of Q tangi. bie nature will soon result.
 So concatenated have become several incidents of violence about the city of late, that officials are tempted to be- lieve that all are committed by the e~persons or groups. The murder
 
 city. and attack upon citizen, Shelk- ofsky have followed. one, upon the other, an apparent epidemic of crime. And there are some of the officers who hold that solution of one will lend . general clearing up to the entire group of, mysterious offenges.
 Sheriff Hood, with his deputies. are working upon the crimes. as well as Chief Taylor and the policemen. The two nesroes. who were arrested Mon day. suspected of connection with the crime, Frank Dawson and Jim Afford. are still held by the police.
 One thing is certain-that If inter est and keen research will effect a capture, then the time of the murder CTS of the two men fs short, for both the city, and county police executives are bending every effort. and direct- ing their men to leave no Stone un-, turned in the search.

 - Al MITCHELLs.
Covinwton County Mem Are Arraignea For Illicit Distiliing-Arrests Grew Out 0f Family
 FesHd.

Andalusia. Jan. 2e--(Special.) AS a sequel to the terrible fight between the Mitchells and Goolsby families some two weeks ago, the three Goolsby men and Elem Richards were taken to Troy this afternoon, to be tried on the charge of Illicit distiliing.
 It will be remembered that about two weeks ago, W. F. dooisby, his two sons Edwin Goolsby and W. F. 'GoOlsby. Jr.. with Elem Richards, son-in Jaw of old man Goolsby. and ". O. Shields and son, and WI. Hooks, rode into the field of the Mitc1eils one morning and after few heated words had free-for-all fight. using hoes. axes. and rails as weapons. The result of that fight was the almost fatal wounding of young AL bert Mitchell, and the severe and pain ful wounding of the other two Mitchelis, I. z. Mitchell. the father. and John Mitchell, his other son. 1t was thought for a time that young Arnold Mitchell would not live. and 1t was miraculous that he has recovered He Is now out of danger.
 It appears that the trouble had been brewing for about three months. Some time ago dispute. resulting in a civil suit arose over two mules and some work. This caused the first feeling be- tween the families. and when, three weeks ago. the Mitchells were instru- mental In having warrants for illicit distilling issued against the Goolsbys. 1t brought matters to a head.
 All the parties to the affair were ar. rested. but with the exception of the three Gooishys' and Richards, were re- leased on bail. They were held owing to the condition of young Mitchell. who 1t was thought would certainly die However. since that time he has recov- cred, and the ones who were still In jail were allowed bail. which was promptly furnished. Before this hap pened the revenue officers had placed warrants in, the hands of the sheriff for their arrest. and they were Immediately arrested. and this afternoon were taken to Troy to stand triat.
 All the parties to the affair are mem- bers of the most prominent families ip this section of the country. They are prosperous farmers and are we'll thought of by their neighbors. They reside about fifteen miles northeast Of Andalusia, in what is known as the Copperas Head country. The. Goolsbys are owners Of considerable lands. and the Mitche1ls had been their tenants

 After encountering many financial difficulties, Chesapeake and Ohio was reorganized without foreclosure. in 1888 at which time the extension to Cincinnati was built. Of it's capital stock. there is outstanding about &6s.- O00.000 in common shares. with only nominal amount of vreferred stock.
