Gov Ansel decline to discuss the

IS 1t is understood that Gov. Ansel has
persuaded DR.. Murray to withhold his

that he will change his mind, and this
he has apparently done. What he
will finally do. is not known.
AT first Gov. Ansel was disposed to
laugh the reporter into the belief that
there was no truth in the report, but
on being pressed closer with ques-

believed that his failure to accom-

the other members OF the commission

A member Of the commission says
Nr. Brice has written DIR. Murray q

10 MILES Of
CEMENT WALKS
NOW COMPLETE
WHIDDoN CONSTRUCTION COM
PANY MAKES THE ANNOUNCE
MENT THAT THREE-FOU3TH
OF BIG CONTRACT HAS BEEN
FINISHED IN PENSACOLA.

Eighteen miles Of new, clean, uni
form cement sidewalks in Pensacola
have been about completed. This Is
under the contract of the Whiddou
Construction Company and one Of the
officials of the firm made the state
ment that with excavations now open
to be finished, practically the whole OF
the eighteen miles will have been
completed
While the walks put down by that
company are distinctive by newnes5
and uniformity. they are also notable
from the fact that they replace I'M
slightly, dangerous and non modern
walks, and beautify any and al
blocks they enciTcle. The firm origin
ally entered into a contract 70 build
some twenty-five miles OF walks. but
the many private contracts which
are reported. besides the many side
walk contracts given TO several local
builders will mean that practically the
entire city viii get the benefit Of the
handsome walks and crossings before
the contracting firms finally get away
from Pensacola. The northern part
of the city was taken care Of first for
a good many reasons, but chiefly be
cause Of q lack of walks in that part
of Pensacola. And it all amounts to
a great deal sOf improvement IN that
section.

MONTH - GENERAL MANAGER
STORRS ENTHUSIASTIC

When General Manager SUOrTS, OF
the Tri- County Fair, was seen at MS
Office in the American National bank
building yesterday by a Journal re-
DOrter and asked If there was Any %
thing new about the Fair, he wore q
broad smile as he pointed to the pile
of entries on the entry clerks desE,
and said: "TelI the cToakeTs about
that. Don't they look as if the Far
was going TO be a success? Why, Ir
we didn't get another entry in an
department We would have a splendid
show of what the three counties can
do in an agricultural way, and they
have Just fairly begun to come IN.
Where are they from? prom all OF
the counties. Look at this list from a
progressive Escambia county farmer,
hay, corn, cane, cotton, potatoes,
horses, chickens, pecans, sheep. This
one from a Baldwin county farmer Is
even more extensive, and this one
from Santa Rosa you see Is equally
as long. and from the city we are geC-
ting a lot of them. The department
of women's work is going to be one
OF the features of the Fair, and that
alone is going to be worth going 20
see if there was nothing else.
How about the shOWs?" was asked
I'VE have already secured some ex-
ira good ones, and have a line On
some others we hope to land before
the Fair opens. We could nave filled
every available foot Of space. but have
debarred everything that women and
children cannot see, and what We
have will be of the best.
Yes, there will be space enough
for all the entries that can be made.
If the paviHons which are being pre-
pared for exhibit halls should over
flow, we have tents which We can use
to make room so that every one can
be taken care Of
The Fair is going to be something
OF which I believe Pensacola will De
proud and which will also prove a
surprise to many Of our people az a
display of what this section of the
south can produce"

FINE INCREASED
YOUNG MAN WHO WAS FINED FOR
CARRYING CONCEALED WEAP-

ONE-HALF.

Because r. S. Crockett, fined 500
the day previous, left the station
house without leave. he was docketed
as escaping from custody Under such
charge he was called up before Re
cOrder Johnson yesterday morning
and an additional fine of $3.50 was
imposed on him. This is in addition
TO the already big fine Of s99 which is
now unpaid, and for which he is serv-
ing time.
Section SO guards against the escap-
ing of prisoners from the city Jail by
giving the recorder authority and
making it his duty to impose one-half
of unserved time or fine on any pris-
oner who goes of without leave.
Crockett was fined 500 Monday. but
one day reduced it to one dollar less.
Half of that was imposed yesterday
upon his being recaptured.

Constipation And
Appendicitis
The Latter Usually Caused BY The
Former, Which, In Turn, Has Its
Origin In Intestinal indigestion.

Chronic constipation is a disease
which is about as prevalent as dyspep
STA and indigestion. Nearly every one
suffers from it occasionally, but there
are millions of people who endure 1t
habituaIly, and who are accustomed
to resort to the use of Iaxatives and
cathaTticS daily.
Many people seemed TO have deVel-
oped a perfect mania for taking pills,
and instead of trying to ascertain the
latent cause of the disease, and remOv-
ing it by appropriate treatment, they
are content to continue the reckless
use of laxatiVeS, aperients, drastic
Cathartics and violent puEgatives, IN
til finally Inflammation OF the bowels
occurs, which reaches the appendix,
and the result IS appendicitis.
In investigating and tracing the
caIsative factors of constipation and
its frequent sequel, appendicitis, IT
has been noted by physicians that the
acc6 mpanied by a long landing gas
tTo-iEtestinal Indigestion
The idea that appendicitis is brought
on by foreign bodies, such as seeds,
etc, becoming lodged in the appendix,
IS an exploded theory. Il is now der
Yitely known that constipation Is the
most prolific cause of this dread dis
ease, while the constipation itself is
previously induced by intestinal indi-
gestiOn, or amylaceous dyspepsia-the
inability to digest st8rches-go the
relation between cause and effect is
readily seen and appreciated.
The absurdity of attempting to cure
constipation by the use OF phys1c
should be apparent to every one. Lax
at3vs drugs and powerful purgatives
will never cure a disease of this sort,
and those who make frequent or regu-
lar use of them will, sooner or later,
set ub an infiammatory condition OF
the intestinal system
4 person with flrst-claSS digestion

constipation, and when this trouble
does exist, instead of slugging the
system with pills, liquid laxativcs,
cauJ.-- c8tLaTtics, etc, use a remedy
which will cure the CASTRO intestinal
indigestion, and you Will find that the
constipation no longer bothers you,
and with it's removal, the risk of de-
veloping appendicitis will be reduced
to the minimum.
STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
have been the means of curing num-
erous cases of constipation, by first
curing the intestinal indigestion. They
digest every kind of food, a single
grain being capable Of digesting 5000
grains of aIimentum, ana in addition
to pepsin and other powerful diges-
tives. they also contain diastase,
which converts starch into sugar, and
readily cures amylaceous dyspepsia
and intestinal indigestion.

OF any kind, don't run the risk of get
