May Go Farther.

The impression prevails that the con-
sistory received a fairly definite report
on the authenticity Of Cooks claims, bu5
that its final conclusion was that the
examining committee should make still
further study OF both Cocks records
and the other material entered in the
case.
Peary partlsans are suddenly coming
OUT IN the open h 're. which has always
been a. pro-CCok Center
All me Danish newspapers today give
attention to the LnoSe-Dunkie affidavits.
When Captain Loose first made his
statement not much consideration was
given 10 Il here, owing TO the lack of
detail. but now fairly complete reports
of his charges bIve been printed and
Che newspapers, all partisans Of the
Cook side Of the controversy, are OBJ
viously disturbed.
The National Tidende, for instance,
says 1T is impossible to see for what
purpose he had any relations with
Loose, and this, ir our opinion, casts a
serious shade on DR.. Cook"

CHLOROFORM USED
 IN ATTEMPT TO ROB
NIGHT OPERATOR IN L. & N. OFFICE FRlGHTENS OFF ROB- BERS-HIGH SCHOOL GRADU- ATloN EXERCISES.

Gadsden, May 22-(Special. .)-An at- tempt was made last night to chioroform the night operator and others at the of flee of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road company. All the men in the place excepting the operator were asleep and he did not realize what was taking place until he was partly under the influence of the drug Parties on the outside of the building sprayed the drug through keyhole The operator awakened his companions and they just managed to arouse themselves in time to get to the outside air before becoming unconscious. They heard the parties doing the work run away, but did not report the mat ter until morning, and 1t was then too late to trail them with the dogs. The pay car passed through here yesterday and the intention of the assailants of the men was evidently to rob them of their monthly stipend.
 The garuating exercises last night of the Gadsden high school which took place at the Hayden-Pake theatre, was attend ed by as many as could find acoommo- dation in the building. Tehre were 30 boys and girls to complete the course and

 With Monday begins one of the most notable impeachment trials in the his- tory of the state-that of Sheriff Cazalas of Mobile, who has been charged with allowing a mob to take a negro from tho Mobile jail and hang him when he had reason to know that there was danger of such thing taking place. It will be the first effort under the new law to put a sheriff out, and there are few who believe that 1t will result dsastrously to the sheriff. There are seventy-odd witnesses, and tho time of the court for several days will be taken up in the hearing, which promises to be long and tedious.

Jones. in the United States court next week, will be the trials of a crowd of men charged with conspiracy to injure man who is said to have known something about their running distilleries.

 A peculiar feature about poslam, the new skin discovery, is that no one is asked to buy 1t without first sending to the Emergency Laboratories. No. 32 West Twenty-flfth street, New York city, for an experimental sample and applying same to an affected part of the skin about the size of silver dollar. It will clear the spot so treated in 4 hours-a remarkable visual demonstration of it's powers.
 While pos1am has been mentioned prin- cipally in connection with the cure of eczema, the most stubborn of skin dis eases, it must be remembered that when used for itch. hives, pimples, blotches, acne, itching feet, scaly scalp, chafing of infants and similar minor skin trou- bles, its action is all the more pro- nounced, results being seen after an over night application. As only a small amount of pos1am is necessary to cure such cases, a special ffty-cent package, usually sui ficient, has been placed on sale Nat Ja- cobs Pharmacy and otl ~- leading drug stores in Birmingham and throughout the country.
