 No information as to what happened to the Turner has ever been received in Mobile. The owners have anxiously awaited some details of the schooner being abandoned, but this is not ex- pected until Captain Semmes reaches Brest. He is expected there sometime this week, as the tanker is due at Brest at the present time. The Turner loaded out of New Orleans with general cargo valued at about $200,0O0 and then sailed from Newport News on May 24, bound for Bordeaux. France. She was out but few days when she met with the accident as yet unex- plained.

PHYSICALLY FIT
 AT ANY AGE

It isn't age, it's careless living that puts men down and out" Keep your internal organs in good condition and you will always be physically fit.
 The kidneys are the most over- worked organs in the human body. When they break down under the strain and the deadly uric acid ac- cumulates and crystallizes look out! These sharp crystals tear and scratch the delicate urinary channels causing cxcruciating pain and set up irrita- tons which may cause premature de- generation and often do turn into deadly Bright's Disease.
 One of the first warnings of slug gsh kidney action is pain or stiffness in the small of the back, loss of appe- tite, indigestion or rheumatism.
 Do not wait until the danger is upon you. At the first indication of trouble go after the cause at once. Get trial box of COLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules. imported direct from the laboratories in Holland. They will give almost immediate relief If for any cause they should not, your money will be refunded. But be sure to get GOLD MEDAL. None other is genuine. In sealed boxes, three sizes.

New Orleans, June 11-The wire strike was the main factor in the trading of cotton today. crippling service to the interior to some extent and restricting business and fur nishing a new excuse for sufficient sell ing to offset the unfavorable features in the weekly crop reports from the government. In the early trading prices lost 4S to 80 points but enough buying came in to cause a recovery of 20 to SO points before the session was very old. After that prices changes were less frequent and late in the day the market was quiet at net decline of about 30 to 50 points.
 The weekly reports were fairly favor able for a good part of the eastern belt but very distinctly bad for important portions of the western belt They were supplemented by private reports of sensational nature regarding the grassy condition of the lelds, the-lack
