 To the Electro Radio Doctors:
 For a long time I have suffered from chronic catarrh, stomach trouble and general debility. I tried regular doctors and patent medicines but only got tenn porary relief for while. I began the Electro Radio treatment about three months ago and today I feel well and strong Have felt well for nearly two months. I weigh more than I ever did in my life and am at present able to do heavier manual labor than ever before. My benefit started at once, and felt bet ter and stronger after the first Electro Radio spray. This treatment vitalzes ana strengthens in a way I never felt before. I know many others who have taken this treatment. including my sister, and all praise 1t.
 I recommend all sufferers to try this treatment. A visit to the office and a few treatments will convince the most skeptical. WALTER JOHNSON. The Electro Radio doctors have saved many in Birmingham and vicinity from operations. They have treated over 300 in the past three months and can refer to over 100 who are already cured and the others, with very few. exceptions, are en- tirely pleased with the progress they are making The first 100 who apply after the date of this notice will be allowed to make their own fee and terms and pay only for benefits conferred. In all cases accepted satisfactory results are guar anteed. They have all the modern fa- cilities for making proper diagnoses.

WEALTHY DALLAS MAN
 HELD ON $500 BOND

Selma, January 11-(Special. )-Wal ter B. Taylor, prominent merchant of Burnsville. and well known and wealthy resident of Dallas county. was bonded over in the amount of $500 to await the action of the next grand jury by Judge J. w. Marby today on the charge of having received stolen property, know ing the same to have been stolen. The case against MT. Taylor grew out of his arrest about week ago by detec- lives of the Southern railway, which arrest followed that of about a dozen negroes and a white man. M Perkins, on the charge of having burglarized freight cars recently on that road near Burnsville.
 The dozen negroes and MT. Perkins had preliminary trial about two weeks ago and were all bound over to walt the action of the grand jury, which con- venes here on Monday. The prelimin- ary trial of MT. Taylor was heard be- fore Judge Mabry, today as committing magistrate, and one of the principal witnesses to testify against him was MT. Perkins. MT. Taylor, who is a large land owner and wealthy citizen. Is charged with having purchased from MT. Perkins. who acted fo rthe negroes. some bolts and nuts which had been stolen from one. of the freight cars which had recently been burglarized on the Southern railway.

self with an excellent cast Brandon Tynan, who plays Therwald Helmar. Nora's husband, in the emotional mo-
 ments Is all that could be desired. In the
 one moment when unconscious of his
 wife's keen perception he displays the frank egotism of his nature his acting is well nigh perfect.
 While Madame Nazimova and Mir. Ty-
 nan occupy the center of the stage prao-
 tically throughout the play, William Has
 son as Nils Krogstad," uses every op-
 portunity presented him. Fred l.. Tiden
 as Doctor Rank Is also very satlsfac-
 tory. As the cynical doctor who faces death without fiinching he is at his best. The story of "A Dolls House. is famil-
 far to most theatregoers. In the opening
 act the sitting room of Therwald Hell
 mar, a young banker of Christiana, is shown. His wife is a child and has not yet realized the seriousness of life The
 first inkling of it is brought her by Nils
 Krogstad, a forger in the employ of her
 husband, who holds her note for $1200.
 The signature of Nora's father on the
 note is forgery and using this Krogstad forces Nora to intercede with her hus- band to permit Krogstad to keep his po- stion at the bank. Therwald Helmar re- fuses and the act of his wife, who forged the note that he might save his life by going to Italy, is made known to him.
 His denunciation overpowers her and 1t is not until the news comes that Krog- stad. who has been converted by Mrs. Linden, a former sweetheart and a friend of Nora, will not use the note, that she discovers his true character. Helmar's sole thought was of himself and not of his
 wife. Realizing that she has been only
 ''doll wife" she resolves to leave him forever, which she does in spite of his frantic pleadings.
 Tonight Madame Nazimova will take the
 part of "Comtesse Nina Di Rorenzo" in Braccos comedy, "The Comtesse Co.,
 quette." This part is totally different from "A Dolls House" and serves to show the versatility of Madame Nazimova.

ESCAPED MAN
 IS RRCAPTURlD
TALK OF MERGER OF TWO STEEL COMPANIES IS HEARD IN GADs- DEN-BANK MAKES GOOD SHOW ING-FARMERS TO MEET

Gadsden, January u.-(Specia1)-J. Holderman, the trusty convict who es- capped from the jail the other night while two other prisoners held the hands of the turnkey when he handed them med icne through. the cell window, has been recaptured. The man was found in the woods near Elliott park, where he had made his way and was trying to keep warm by camp fire. He was barefoot when he made his escape and some time after leaving the prison he secured some sacks in which he bound up his feet and had the cloth saturated with turpentine in order to baffle the dogs that might be used to track him. He has been re- turned to the jail and together with ~the others implicated in the attempted de- livery will be prosecuted by the sheriff.
 The First National bank of this city has just made statement to the comp troller which shows that this popular in stitution has now over a million dollars of resources. The deposits are in excess of $70O,000 The officers are naturally proud of the good showing made.
 Talk of a merger of the properties of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company ana tnOSe or the SOutnern Iron and Steel company is heard everywhere in Gadsden and all seem to feel that this consolidation will take place within the next few months. MT. T. S. Kyle of the directorate of the Southern Iron and Steel Is quoted as saying that his com pany is not especially anxious to enter combination of this kind, still if the proper proposition was made a merger might result. He Is also of the opinion that great good might come of such a combination because of the larger devel- opments that such a consolidation would make possible.
 Son Stewart, a negro. escaped from tho city chaingang yesterday and has not been recaptured. The negro made his way to Black creek, where he took a log and drifted out into the stream. The bloodhounds of Chief O'Bannon tracked the fugitive to the stream, but of course were helpless after he took to the water. The negro had practically no clothing and the water Is cold so 1t was thought he would not stay in long, but the banks were secured for miles on either side and no trace of the fugitive was secured.
 The Farmers union of Etowah county will meet in this city on January 12 for a grand convention The scheduled meet ing was postponed and an effort Is to be made to make the coming gathering a notable one. No programme has as yet been announced but prominent workers in the cause will be on hand to help make the meeting a success.

Judge Cowan Declares That Proposed Advance by Railroads Is Viola tion of the Sherman Anti
 Trust Law

Fort Worth, Tex, January 11.-That the increase in freight rates proposed by the railroads of the United States would be direct and admitted violation of the Sherman antitrust law and that a stren- uous fight should be made to defeat the planned raising of rates was declared to- day by Judge Samuel H. Cowan. attor- ney for the National Live Stock associa- ton, in an address before the Cattlemen's organization.
 If the organization has not the cour- age to stop this advance in rates by forcing President Taft and Attorney Gen roads," Judge Cowan said, it should dis band at once"
 He termed his argument a million dollar talk because he explained if his advice was needed 1t would mean sav- ing of that much to the cattle raisers.
 Ike T.. Pryor. former president of the Texas Cattle Raisers' association, pre- scented the annual report of the commit tee on transportation, which asserted that the Santa Fe System had made a profit of 59.3 per cent. The report recom- mended that the live stock commission ar range a meeting with traffic agents of various, railroads to consider a maximum and minimum rate on live stock shipment, the rate to be based on service rendered.
 Will R. Barnes. United States forest re- serve department, delivered an address on preservation of grain raising lands, and Henry Exall of Dallas, president of the Texas Industrial congress, discussed con servation of the soil and agricultural methods.

Jastro, Bakersfield, Cal, declares that he will not accept the office for another term Efforts to reclaim arid regions in the southwest by growing the now extinct black grass on the deserts were approved by the association. Prof J. J. Thornber- ger of Tucson, Ariz., is experimenting with this grass, and hopes by it's use 10 ! fit these desert regions for pasturage. This grass once grew profusely over the southwest, but is now found only at eX- pertinent stations.
 Efforts of the United States government to aid the stock raisers in pasturing their herds on the forestry reserves were de- scribed at length by Inspector Barnes of the forestry department. The range, he said, was beginning to return to some or It's old-time fertility under the care Of the government The absence of range fends between cattlemen and sheepmen during the last few years was comment ed upon with pleasure by the speaker and the cattlemen

 FINAL STRUGGLE

Washington, January 11.-Before the supreme court of the United States to- morrow 1t is expected will begin the final fight of the Standard Oil com pany to avoid dissolution as trust under the operation of the Sherman antitrust law. It was thought the case would be reached today, but ar guments upon the similar case of the so-called tobacco trust were not con cluded. When these arguments are fin- ished, soon after the resumption of business by the court tomorrow, John G. Milburn of Buffalo is expected to place before 1t the foundation of the defense of the Standard against ths move instituted by the government.
