MRS. CHADWICK HOME

KILlo HI8 BRIDE’8 FATHER.
Senator Faints.
Senator Bacon took the floor, ex
pecting to occupy the time beforo ad
journment for the day. In opening his
argument, which was expected to be
very exhaustive and had been awaited
with much interest by his colelagues,
It wns observed by his colleagues that
he appeared suddenly to be in dis
tress.
A number of senators rushed to his
assistance, challng his hands and ren
dering such aid as suggested itself in
the excitement.
Senator tialllnger, who is a physl
clan, procured restoratives, which
were administered, and after awhile
8enntor Bacon was sufficiently recov
ered to be able to speak and to be re
moved from the senate chamber and
sent home.
Senate Adjourned.
The senate immediately adjourned,
Mr. Bacon s condition occasioning so
licitude on the part of his friends.
Senator Bacon Is a member of the
Judiciary committee and of the com
mittee on foreign relations, both of
which committees had a great deal of
work to do during the session of the
last congress Just closed. s He Is one
of the most active men in the senate
aud works with great diligence with
tho committees. At the close of tho
session he was very fagged from over
work. but declined to relax bis ener
gy, and since the extra session begnn
he has worked very hard In connec
tion with the Santo Domingo treaty.
His attack today was the direct result
of his overworking himself.
Overwork the Cause.
The senator first worked very hard
over the arbitration treaties and it
was due largely to his efforts that
these treaties were finally amended
In the manner which caused the ad
ministration to refuse their exchange.
He also worked on the Judiciary com
mittee over the proposition of con
structive recess and the question of
the establishment of new judicial cir
cuits.

A. E. DIMMOCK SUCCESSFUL.
Induced Dr. Howard Company
Make Special Price.
After a great deal of effort and cor
respondence A. E. Dimniock, the pop
ular druggist, bus succeeded In get
ting the Dr. Howard Co. to make a
special half-price Introductory offer
on the regular flfty-cent size of their
celebrated specific for the cure of con
stipation and dyspepsia.
This medicine is a recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the
stomach and bowels. It not only gives
quick relief, but it makes permanent
cures.
Dr. Howard's specific has been so
remarkably successful in curing con
stipation, dyspepsia and all liver trou
bles that A. E. Dimniock is willing to
■turn the price paid in every case
here It does not give relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing
with mineral waters, cathartic pills
or harsh purgatives will soon bo a
thing of the past. The best physi-
lans are prescribing Dr. Howard’s
specific because It really gives tho de
sired results ami on account of tho
small and pleasant dose that is
needed.

then in a formal way shook hands.
Only a few words were exchanged be
tween the couple. Dr. Chadwick had
not previously seen his wife for about
two months, when he last visited her
at the Jail.
Mrs. Chadwick selected between
$4,900 and $5,000 worth of personal
property, which she claimed was ex

of this was wearing apparel and Na
than Loeser, trustee in bankruptcy,
said that he would protest each and
every selection.
Mr. Loeser said:
"Mrs. Chadwick selected enough
clothing for 25 women, which, In view
of the way she squandered her credi

Before leaving the house Mrs. Ohad»

of conferring with the governor and
placing evidence before him of the

Under the law. there Is consldera

authority to remove a sheriff, but he

NEW FURNACE FOR ALABAMA.
Is It Right?
Is It right that a property owner
should lose $4.20 to let a dealer make
50 cents? A dealer makes 60 cents
more on fourteen gallons of ready-for-
use paint, at $1.60 per gallon, than
our agent does on eight gallons of L.
& M. paint and six gallons of linseed
oil, which makes fourteen gallons of
the best paint in the world, at $1.20
per gallon; the property owner loses
Just $4.20. Is It rght?
It only requires 4 gallons of L &
M. and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint
a moderate sized house.
