BOTH PLEADED GUILTY.
Mrs. Draschmel and Her Soil Arc
Sentenced In Mobile.
Mobile, Jail. 25.—The capital cases
against John and Agnes Drasciimel
(white) in the city court, in which both
were jointly indicted for murder, were
decided without the necessity of empan
eling a jury. The defendants, through
their attorney, entered a plea of guilty
of manslaughter in the first degree.
The mother and son resided at Bayon-
Le-Ratre. Some boys had been in the
habit of throwing stones at the house.
This irritated the mother. On the oc
casion of the killing, the rocking was
repeated, and the mother fnshed out of
the house with a broom in her hand,
and the son followed with a pistol of 22-
caliber. The mother proceeded to be
labor with the broom a number of girls
who happened to be passing, thinking
they were the ones who thre- r the rocks
against the house. The boy fired the
pistol at one of the girls by the name of
Bessie Miller. The ballet struck the
girl in the neck, killing her.
The jury returned a verdict sentenc
ing the boy to five years in the reform
atory and the mother to one year in the
penitentiary. The jury signed a peti
tion to Governor Samford for a pardon
for Mrs. Draschmel. The pardon stared
that the woman had already been con
fined in the county jaii about 11 months.

alleged that Neely stole many thousand
dollars worth of stamps by burning in
their place packages of waste paper. In
reference,, to this charge, Neely says
about tiiese stamps:
“The man who says they were not de
stroyed, or who says that I said the
packages contained only brown paper,
tells a damnable lie. Save for one or
two packages, they were in their origi

brown paper the fraud was commuted

Florida Daughters of Confederacy.
Gainesville, Fla., Jan. 30.—The an
nual state convention of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, Florida
division, met here today. In addition
to a large number of delegates, many
members of the various chapters are
present. The ladies will discuss the
matter of another state fair, next fall,
for the benefit of the Confederate Sol
diers’ state home at Jacksonville. The
home is very much in need of additional
room and it is the intention to give the
fair so that a sufficient amount can be
raised to defray the expense of enlarging
the present headquarters.
Florida Convict Statistics.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 29. — On
Jan. 1, 1900, there were m the state
prison of Florida 710 convicts. During
. a — tro/1 tA I*,}]Q
ber of inquiries have been made, and •
the apprehension created convinces ns j
that, in justice to creuiror.-, we ought to
suspend payment. This condition of
affairs has arisen from inability to make |
quick realizations on cash and the
shrinkage on assets. It is hoped that :
the assets, prudently arranged, will
pay creditors in full. We have not
arranged or taken any legal steps con

Selma.
Selma, Ala., Jan. 25.—The primary
election, which will be held in this citv
about Feb. 18, for the election of city
officers, promises to be one of the hottest
political battles ever fought in the state.
The last legislature passed a bill mak
ing all the city offices of Selma, with
the exception of policemen, elected bv
the people, and there are $ow in the
field for the various offices about 35 can
didates, and before the primaries will
come off there will be about 25 more.
Heretofore the ticket in the city prima

Farmers I11 Good Condition.
Dadeville, Ala., Jan. 25.—The farm
ers in this section are in better condi
tion financially at the opening of the
new century than for 25 years. There
is not a farmer of any consequence who
has not paid his debts in full, with the
exception of probably some who have
gone in debt for more lauds, and who
still have wheat, corn and meat for a
year.

jl. Sold by H. B. MeMaster, Druggist,
here ou Decoration day, two years ago,
when Col. Andrews, the orator of the
occasion, made it the theme of his ad
dress. Afterward N. B. Forrest camp
(local) and the general coavention at
Louisville of United Confederate vet
erans approved the undertaking, but no
plan of action was adopted.
An Associated Press reporter called
on Col. Andrews and requested his
views as to the" progress or the work,
the necessity for it, plans of organiza
tion and style of monument.
“My idea of what should be done can
be told in a few words. Collect at least
$500,000 or more; I believe it can be
had; no man would refuse for an object
so sacred and popular. With it build
one monument — not several inferior
ones—bat one, so grand in size, rich in
material, artistic in design and execu
tion and faultless in location that the
world would applaud and thousands
would come to revere the memory of so
great a womankind.
“I believe in a single working ma
chinery, with few officers, for expedi
tious accomplishment.
“An executive head of one to three,
the fewer the better, should be pro
vided, with power to appoint sub-officers
and cauvassers. Allow them reasonable
compensation, otherwise they cannot
afford to devote themselves to the work.
Get speakers here and there, canvass
every county in the south, and, in my
judgment, the $590,000 would be in the
bank wirkin a year.”
Colonel Andrews stated that he would
prefer to leave the matter of location of
the monument to the United Confed
erate veterans, and that he had no sug
gestions to make in that respect.

Dr. T. W. Ayers and Family Going to
Flowery Kingdom.
Anniston, Ala., Jan. 28.—On March
15 Dr. T. W. Ayers, hjs wife and four
children will sail from San Francisco
for China, where Dr. Ayers will go as a
medical missionary.
He is sent by the mission board of the
Southern Baptist church to a station at
Hwang-Ili-en, in the northern part of
China. It is a city of 100,000 people
and is on the Yellow river, the second
largest stream in China. It is in Shan-
Tnng province and 60 miles from Che-
foo. It is a great seaport and noted as
a commercial center.
This mission field is occupied solely
by the Southern Baptist church and is a
very important mission station. There
are 800 villages in the county which is
considerably smaller than the average
sized county in Alabama. In the county
are 500,000 people.
A noticeabie fact is that at present in
the entire county there is not one edu
cated physician, and Dr. Ayers’ field
will be a large one. No efforts are made
on surgical lines, although several Chi
nese doctors practice.
Dr. Ayers goes from a sense of duty,
not so much on account of the Chinese,
but from the feet that the families of
missionaries need an educated physi
cian.

LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA
Important Matters Claiming Atten

Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 28. — The
two houses of the general assembly of
Alabama will convene tomorrow (Tues
day) at 12-o’clock. The legislature, un
der the constitution, has 25 more work
ing days to its credit, but as a holiday
will intervene and the legislators are
likely to have oae or two off days, the
session may continue throughout the
month of February. The constitution
restricts the session to 59 working days,
25 of which were consumed before the
holiday recess.
Among the measures to be discussed
are the revenue act, creation of a state
pardoning board, reapporiionment and
anti-whisky bills. As to the latter, The
Training Poor
Good Character.
New York, Jan. 30. —A special to The
World from Washington says: Right
Rev. Henry Y. Saterlee, formerly of
New York and now Episcopal bishop of
the District of Columbia, is planning to
establish a home where poor girls of
good character may be trained by ex
perienced housewives into competent
servants, housemaids, cooks and nurses.
It is proposed to locate the home next
to the House of Mercy, which is also
conducted under Episcopal auspices.
Among those who have volunteered aid
in this plan are Mrs. Henry* Cabot
Lodge, Mrs. Miles, wife of General
Miles, the Misses Kean of New Jersey,
Miss Helen Chamberlain, Mrs. Leiter
and Miss Paulding, niece of Senator De
pew. It is proposed to call the institu
tion the St. Agnes home.
Orange Trees Budding.
Tamp a,Fla., Jan. 30. —The orange tree*
in this section are already budding, and
in some cases blooms are seen. The
weather has been very warm and has
forced the sap earlier than usual. This
is causing some apprehension for the
buds, as the cold which is usually ex
pected about the full moon of February
might theu bo in a position to nip some
thing. Every arrangement has been
made to protect the trees as much as
possible, and unless the cold comes in a
sneaking manner it will not do any
damage.

constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube, hen this tube
gets inflamed you'have a rumbling sound or
iinperfec* hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless tiiis
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of ihe mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
