THE OPEN SEASON.

He laid his plans to swat the fly;
He knew he ought to do it,
And with determination high
He started to pursue it.
And first the parlor lamp he smashed /;
His wife thought it a beauty
And then into the mirror crashed
Intent upon his duty.
He swept the pictures from the wall,
The boghs fell on his toes;
And when he though to end it all
The fly lit on his nose!
At this the man began to frown,
And fast from room to room
He chased that fly, upstairs and down,
To whack it with a broom.
The furniture was overturned,
The house was all upset,
But with desire to win he burned;
Said he: I'll catch it yeti"
His wife returned; her heart was sad
With grief too deep to mention
ut looks" cried she, "as though you
had
Been holding convention"
And them know that this is
tough
But then he caught it" sure enough!

meal to insure perfect digestion and avoid trouble
 But it Is not generally known that the Tablets are just as good and wholesome for little folks as for their elders.
 Little children who are pale. thin and have no appetite. or do not grow or thrive. should use the tablets after eating and will derive great benefit from them.
 Mrs. G., IT. Crotsley. 53s Washington street, Hoboken. New Jersey, writes ''Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets just nll the bill for children as well as for old CT folks. I've had the best of luck with them My 3-year-old girl takes mem as readily as candy. l have only to say tablets and she drops every thing else and runs for them"
 A Buffalo mother, a short time ago. who despaired of the life of her babe. was so delighted with the results from giving the child these tablets that she went before the notary public of Erie county, New York. and made the fol- lowing affidavit:
 Gentlement: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's were recommended to me for my 2-months old baby, which was sick and puny and the doctors said was suffering from indigestion. I took the child to the hospital, but there found no relief A friend mentioned the Stuart Tablets and I procured box from my druggist and used only the large sweet lozenees in the box and was delighted to find they were just the thing for my baby, | feel justified in saying that Stuart $ Dyspepsia Tablets saved my child's life.
 MRS W. T. DETHLOPE
 Subscribed and sworn to before me this 18th day of April. 1897.
 HENRY KARIS.
 Notary Public in and for Erie county. New York.
 For babies, no matter how young or delicate, the tablets will accomplish wonders in increasing flesh, appetite and growth. Use only the large sweet tablets in every box. Full sized boxes are sold by all druggists for 50 cents. and no parent should neglect the use of this safe remedy for all stomach and bowel troubles if the child is ail- ing in any way regarding its food or assimilation.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been known for years as the best prepara- ton for all stomach troubles whether in adults or infants.

SLAYERS
 OF LUTES ARRESTED
Three Taken in Custody,
 Charged With Murder
GOFORTH GETS BAIL
Cotton Again Selling in Gadsden at Ten Cents-Farmers Interested in Cotton Reduction Met Yester-
 day-Court to Convene

1 Gadsden, February 3.-(special.)-S Sheriff Love and his deputies from St. Ciair county last night arrested three men who are alleged 10 be the murderers of Jacob Lutes and wife the aged couple whc were killed near Gallant last November. The men taken into custody are D. S. Mcclain, Cleveland Campbell and VIII Campbell. All are farmers and live near the scene of the crime. McClain, who is said to have been the leader in the mur- der, is about 35 years of age. while the Campbells are considerably younger There is n fourth party said to be impli- cated but he has not been apprehended as yet.
 The men were arrested on warrants sworn out by Detective Wjggins of Bir- mingham, who has been at work on the case for many weeks. At the hearing be- fore the coroner's jury suspicion was d. rected toward these men but the evidence was not considered sufficient a that time to warrant the arrests being made,
 AIcclan and one of the Campbells have been taken to the Jefferson county jail and The other Campbell is confined in the jail at Ashville, the men being separated for the purpose of preventing them from communicating with each other.
 It was~rumored here today that Cleve- land Campbell had made n confession to the detective but this could not be vsii- fled. Detective Wggins was in the city tc- day but refused absolutely 10 discuss the case It Is presumed that the men -Nlll sssfi await the action of the grand jury.
 All investigations of the case have been conducted in this county heretofore but as Lutes lived just on the line between Etowah and St. Clair it is possible that ithe courts of St. Clair will now take mp the matter.
 Judge J. A. Blbro of the Gadsden city court this morning granted bail to Wiley Coforth, who is held for the murder of Nicholas Shentzen, inc Altoona miner Goforth is said to have been the accom- plice of Joe Saulsberry. who has already been coinyicted of the crime
 Cotton is once more selling at 10 cents inc pound. Several sales were made here today at this figure and those farmers who have held onto their crop are iubi- lant over the outlook for still higher rrices
