Many people say this surprising herbal medicine, Herb Juice, brings an improvement from the first few odses in the most severe cases of stomach, kidney and liver trouble and they gladly make public statements that their friends may know of this great medicine. Just recently Mir. Pete Saks, of 625 Sixteenth Street, North. Bir- mingham, Ala, called to see the Herb Juice man and gave him the following statement:
 Before used Herb Juice had been in bad health for over a year and had tried a lot of different treatments and medicines without getting any relief, but will say that the first few doses of Herb Juice gave me relief and by the time had used one bottle felt like different man." said MT. Saks. "I suffered from constant backache, and kidney trouble, also of dizziness, and was bothered all the time with black spots floating before my eyes. In addition to this, I was constipated more or less all the time and suffered a great deal from gas forming on the stomach. But today am thankful to say your Herb Juice has changed all of this, and I feel better than I have for years. I have been relieved of those pains in my back, kidneys and liver have been regulated and I am not bothered with dizziness or spots floating before my eyes. Herb Juice has also regulated my bowels and put my stomach in good shape so I can eat and enjoy my meals once more. In short, Herb Juice is the greatest medicine have ever used and I do not hesitate to recommend it any one" ratories, is now at EUGENE JACOBS will gladly tell you without any cost

Mobile Authorities Face New
Problem In Harris Staying

MOBILE, Ala, April 6.-(Special
Leased Wire.) - Sheriff's forces
trying to clear up the staying of Ben
ny Harris, 19-year-old Prichard youth,
who was, shot and almost instantly
killed Saturday night at Toulminville,
today found themselves confronted by
the further problem of establishing the
identity of one Of three men taken into
custody for investigation.
When questioned at the county Jail
the man, who authorities said had q
loaded pistol in his possession at the
time of his arrest, admitted, according
to Sheriff Cazalas, that the name he
gave was fictitious and refused to d.
vulge his real name.
Developments today indicated two
pistols were discharged near the point
where the body of Harris was found
crnmpled between the street car tracks.
Empty cartridges of two calibres were
picked up short distance away. Seven
shots were fired, according to. persons
residing in the neighborhood.
Five shots were heard in rapid sue
,cesslon, followed moment later by
two others. Harris was dead when
persons in the community reached his
body few minutes after the shooting.
One bullet struck him, entering his
hip and ranging through his body to a
point near the appendix on the oppo-

Four more years of Grover;
Out they go; in we GO;

All emphasis was placed on the line,
-Four more years of Grover as the
Cleveland partisans checked the spread
of Hill sentiment.
So cleverly did Whitney play his
cards that moves for an adjournment
were thwarted and it was nearly
o'clock in the morning before w.
BOurke Cochran had an opportunity to
nominate Hill. Only the intense excite
ment and the occasional drops of water
trucking down. their backs kept the
delegates awake to hear an extraordi-
nary brilliant speech. 1t gave Cock
ran national fame as an orator. AL
though the speech did not defeat Cleve-
land, as an oratorical display it was not
far behind Bryan's Gross Of Gold" de-
liverance four years later.
New York stood solid against the
former president, but the Whitney
agents, by means of argument, exhorta-
ton and promises rounded up enough
votes to give Cleveland the nomination
on the first ballot.
And there were ''Four more years of
Grover" just as the song urged, for the
voters released President Harrison. 1t
may be mentioned that the democrats
adopted solid gold plank in their plat
form. whereas the republicans straddled
the issue which soon was to become
paramount.
