BRITTON'S SKULL
 BADLY CRUSHED
BRAIN PENETRATED FOR MORE THAN INCH AND NO HOPE IS HELD OUT FOR THE MANS RE COVERY.

T. NJ Britton, the aged watchman who was murderously assaulted by unknown persons early Friday morning at the Alabama Great Southern yards, Powell avenue and Twenty-fourth street, will die as the result of the injuries sus- tained. pr. John D. S. Davis, who oper- ated on Mir. Britton, stated yesterday that the entire left side of Britton's skull had been crushed In. portions of the cranium penetrating an inch and a half into the brain. An operation was performed and seven pieces of bone ex- tracted. Britton Is 65 years of age, fact which is much against him in his fight for life. According to the latest reports there is no possible chance for his recovery.
 Britton was found unconscious at the Alabama Great Southern yards Friday morning by Barney M. Clone, the day watchman. who at the time was just re- porting for duty. A roll of bills which he held clutched in his hand points to the probability that the motive of tho assault was robbery, though nothing save his revolver was missing. No clew has as yet been discovered as to the identity of the aged mans assailants. The theory is that the watchman had surprised a gang of car robbers, who wrested his weapon from him, struck him oyer the head and escaped. Britton resided with his son-in-law, w. E. Jones, 2104 Ave nue H.

EXPERT TO LAY OFF COREY

The Steel City Railway company Is making rapid progress with the construc- ton of the new car line to the Ensley South Highlands.
 j. J. Walker, president of the company, states that unless the weather interferes the line will be completed in about 60 days It is understood the line will be operated Independently, but the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company will furnish the current. The opening up of this line will mean much to the peo- pie of the territory along Pike avenue, and it's proximity to the Oakland ceme- tery will also be appreciated, as its dis tanee from the present car lines makes it difficult of access. The route of the new line will be along Avenue E to Twen- ty-seventh street, Twenty-seventh street to Pike avenue. thence to terminus at the Ensley South Highlands.

Iowa announces he will not be a can didate for reelection by the republicans of his district. MT. Dawson was secre- tary of the late Senator Allison and has served for six years in the House. He says he can make more money in private life. But Mir Dawson has been a reg ular and supporter of Cannon. The in- surgents under Senators Cummins and Deliver have set Iowa aflame with in surgency and MT. Dawson's seat was threatened by an insurgent. He had a bitter fight on hand to secure a renomin- alton.
 It is reported that other standpatters are considering the adoption of the Daw- son course and especially those stand patters who come from the middle west. Every one of them has a fight for re- nomination on his hands. It Is predicted by those best acquainted with conditions In Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa that not a single representative save those of tho insurGent type will be returned to Con- gress. Tawney of Minnesota chairman of the House committee on appropri- ations, and a Cannon leader. has bit ter fight on his hands, the outcome Of which his colleagues cannot forecast MT. Tawney has gone back on the con- gressional campaign committee which has charge of the distribution of campaign funds and this may help some. The in- surgents in Minnesota expect no assist ance from the congressional committee.
 Political Sacred Cow.
 The authoritative statement of the Presidents attitude toward the insur- gents has served to define the exact po- sition of the President in respect . to Speaker Cannon as nothing else could.
 The speaker Is no longer a political sacred COW to be bowed down to and to reverence. It is lawful to take whack at him and still retain ones republican, ism. Moreover the elucidation of the Presidents position empha sizes what has been insisted upon in these dispatches since last October, that the President be- lieves the speaker has outlived his use fitness and should be retired.
 Growing knowledge of this is what has started the distintegration of the Cam non organization and as the knowledge spreads Cannon's supporters will become fewer and fewer.
 In the end it will not be necessary for Cannon to declare that he will not again be a candidate for the spealershtp. He will find that a majority of the repub- lican candidates for Congress have pledged themselves against him. The question for him to decide then will be whether he desires under the circum- stances to accept another term in Con- gress as an humble worker on the floor.

 Man inhabits every part of the globe where external influences can be sue cessfully resisted. Food is an impor- tant element in effecting this, and nature has provided for 1t accordingly. The colder the climate the more animal food and oily substances are required; the warmer, a preponderance of vegetables and fruits is necessary in one's diet
 The whale blubber of the fur-clad Eskimo, and the rice of the nude African, are as much necessities Of To- cality, as matters of choice. The same indications exist in civilization. Thus. the diet in America and England Is es- sentially different from that in Italy, Spain and Egypt.
 The effects of universal communication are nowhere more obvious than on the luxurious table. To furnish the refined cuisine, all climates, both sea and lano are laid under contribution, and the stomach is expected to digest, without as- Instance, everything that Is put into It. Combining together such varied products. and the neglect of the relation between climate and foods, are very active causes of dyspepsia.
 The heavy substantial dishes of this climate accord badly with the ther- mometer at 90 degrees; and an inflexibili- ty in regulating the kind and quantity or -food is a cause of large proportion or the i'll health and stomach troubles among the English and Americans.
 Thousands of people who have suffered from stomach troubles. and general iii- health resulting therefrom, because or a badly regulated diet, and the ingesting of an excessive amount of food at the table have obtained speedy and perma- nent relief by means of simple expeoi- ent-that of using one or two or sTUARTs DYSPEPSIA TABLETS after each meal, or whenever any of the we'll known symptoms of indigestion are pres ent

They take the place of tho natural digestive juices when the latter are deficient Tn quality or quantity, and do their work for them, removing the indigestion by oi- gesting the food, and resting. strength ening and purifying the digestive tract.
 There is no other digestive remedy on the market which has been found equal to stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; none which is 50 rapidly and powerfully efficient, or which removes discomfort, banishes stom- ach pain, and relieves and cures all oi the symptoms of dyspepsia and inoi- gestion in so thorough and pleasant a manner as these marvellous little tab lets. single grain of which Is capable Of digestlng 5000 grains of any and every kind of food.
