p. G. HOOKS SPENT $1,000 TRYING TO
RESTORE HIS WiFE'S HEALTH
GAINS rs POUNDS ON TANLAC.

Another wonderful endorsement for Tan
az that will he read with interest by lhous-
Inds of frail, suffering women throughout
the south was given recently by Mrs. Eliza
beth Hooks. of Rome. Ga. Mrs. Hooks i
he wife Of Il. q. Hooks. a well known
southern railway engineer. Mrs. Hooks
made the remarkable statement that she
lad received more benefit from four bot
ties of Tanlac than from medical treatment
that had cost her husband $1,000. which he
had paid out III the past two years in an
effort TO restore her health.
"For about two years" said Mr.. Hooks,
Il have been in very bad health and have
suffered from stomach trouble. extreme
nervousness and q bad form at rlicrma-
ism. For more than seven months / was
confined 10 my bed and was almost "a ner-
Gus and physical wreck. Ny digestion

nerves. and my husband had to quit set
ting the alarm clock and the door To my

The specialist prescribed q course Of
treatment. but before using the medicine |
decided To give Tanlac 4 trial. ! did this
because of what | had read Of Mr.. Coop

band had heard 50 many railroad men rec
ommend IT.
THAT was the best resolution Of my life.

BRUNDAGE SLIPS 1T OVER ON
BIG BILL AND HARDING

AIL y zen. Ed BrunQage, VINO Is
building his political fences with an
eye to naming the next Republican
candidate for mayor, appears to have
put one over an Mayor Thompson,
Sen. George Harding and Aid. Oscar
De Priest through the appointment
as asst att'y-general of Franklin De-
nisOn, colonel of the cOlored Eighth
regiment.
DenisOn, an able lawyer with
good record both in private and pub
lie life, wields a powerful influence
over the members of his own race in
the Harding-De Priest stronghold,
the Second ward. Two years ago he
was all set to take the field against
De Priest for alderman, but was ins
duced to withdraw.
Denison lives in the former resi-
dence of Gladys Forbes, from which
he wields his influence over the col
ored people of the district. His align
ment with the Brundage forces is
sure to hurt the Thompson-Harding
combiRes swho have hitherto used the
big negro vote in the Second ward
as it wanted.
Brundage's peace agreement with
Mayor Thompson does not cover the
mayoralty cOmpaign. Brundage will
either be a candidate for mayor him
self or will have a candidate in the
field against Thompson or the
Thompson man. The coIored vote
cuts big figure in the Republican
primaries. Brundage has taken a
wise move in it's direction.
n Denison, who is chiefly known to
newspaper readers by his command
of the Eighth regiment, has served
as an asst corp. counsel under
Brundage and has been an inherit
ance tax com'r since 1900. He re-
ceived big vote. at the G. o. P. pri-
mary for municipal judge last fall.

The theater man has been out on

with it a sentence of from one to
seven years in the state penitentiary.

NEW BRIDGE SPAN
ALREADY IN USE
East Approach to Union Pacific
Bridge is Out and New One
Quickly In.
TRAINS NOW CROSSING

The new, all-steel approach span
OF the Union Pacific bridge crossing
the river here was pulled into place
Thursday morning and traffic was de-
layed only from l0:l5 until lis, a
matter of three hours.
The moving of the old span out
and the new one in was not witnessed
by large crowd, there being present
only a few of the Union Pacific Off
cials and the men employed in doing
the work. There was nothing spec
tacular about the operation. Bars
were put up against the passage of
trains promptly at l0:l5 and at 1898
the STATIONARY engines commenced to
pull and at l1:l5 the old span was
out on the false work to the north
and the new span in place OH the
piers. 1t took eight minutes to move
the old span and four for the new one.
The new span, 345 feet and eleven
inches in length, moved over the dis
lance, twenty-eight feet, from where
it was constructed, to where it now
rests without hitch or delay. Cables
were attached to the new and old
spans and as the old structure moved
out and onto the false work to the
north the new one moved In, and
that was about all there was to it.
Anticipating that it would take
longer to get the new span into
place than it actually did, the Union
Pacific notified the other railroads, its
tenants, that the bridge would not be
open to traffic until $3.50 in the after
noon. The bridge movers, however,
beat this time by better than two
hours.

WRONG Victim is ACCuser

Fl. I. Anthony, colored, offered a
unique plea when arraigned before
Police Judge Fitzgerald on the charge
of stealing coal. Anthony said he
didn't steal coal from the railroad
company which was prosecuting him,
but from an entirely different conf
pany. The court remarked that there
wasn't much difference and Anthony
agreed with him. A fine of SIS and
costs was imposed.
