CONFERENCE
 IN SESSION Judge Jones Hears Long Arguments. MASTERS NOT APPOINTED Attorneys Not Agreed Upon Their
 Powers. Final Settlement of Matter With Nam ing of Two Masters VIII Prob ably Result From Today's
 Meeting.

Although in session all day, the at- torneys for both the railroad and the State in conference with Judge Thomas G. Jones of the Federal Court for the Middle District of Alabama, made very little progress yesterday. It was ex- pected that one or more masters would have been named by Judge Jones to take testimony in the Alabama rate cases, and that program for the fur ther taking of testimony adopted, but wrangles between attorneys regarding the scope of the powers of the masters to be appointed occupied the whole time of the conference.
 It is understood that the attorneys for the railroads offered a proposition outlining the powers of these masters. and that the attorneys for the State offered a contra proposition. Argu- ments upon the matter took up all the morning session. and at l o'clock noth- ing had been definitely decided upon.
 During the afternoon session the ar- gument was again taken up, resulting in further discussion. The final agree ment upon the powers of the masters to be appointed by the court will be made during the session of the con- ference this morning, in all probabii- ity. The masters will then be named by Judge Jones.
 All of the attorneys engaged in the rate cases were present at the confer ence yesterday. and will be present this morning at 9 o'clock when the discussion Is again taken up.

Cures Dyspspsia;
 Trial Is Free

It is a popular mistake that only wealthy people who eat rich and high iy-spiced foods suffer from dyspepsia. or. as 1t is also known. indigestion. The laborer in the street, the worser In the field also finds himself a victim of this disorder. Among the very greatest sufferers from 1t are women.
 Dyspepsia is indicated by constant feeling of laziness. by loss of appetite and troubled sleep. by sour stomach and distress after eating. by bad com piexion and lusteriess eyes.
 There Is no surer and speedier cure for this trouble than pr. Caldweils Sy- rup Pepsin. which dyspeptics have been using successfully for twenty years. This great herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark. of Buffalo. Ia.. of dyspepsia and sour stomach that he had had for forty years or until the lucky day that he heard of pr. cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. It cured Joel Adams. of Montgomery, Ala. after suf- fering continuously for sixteen months. These are only a few of the many. But 1t is not expensive to be cured with this grand remedy. as 1t can be bought at any drug store in sO-cent or Sl bottle.
 Your very neighbors are probably lifelong users of pr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. but If you want to know with out expense what 1t will do for you personally. send your name to Dr. Caldwell and he will be glad to send you free trial bottle. He is actually anxious to have you make a test of his remedy.
 Thousands of families everywhere keep 1t in the house against such an emergency as constipation. sour siom- ach. indigestion billiousness. dyspep- sia. heartburn. torpid liver etc. which may come on member of the family any day. It is pleasant to the taste. acts gently and does not gripe It Is the greatest children's laxative tonic.
