Secretary Wilson wrote a cordial. reply, promising todo all in his iwer to assist them, and asked for une addresses of the presidents of the different Institutions that the department might be placed, in direct1 communication with them. These "addresses were forwarded Immediately, and in acknowledging the letter Secretary Wilson said he had ordered the proper officer to send to eaeh of these, gentlemen a complement of tm- ported seed now in the Agricultural Department.

Continuing, Mr. Wilson says: "Our agent has just returned from "the roof of the world," away up in Eastern China, Southern Siberia, and Turkestan, where men have lived ac cording to their traditions, since the fifth generation from Noah.

Meanwhile there is a means of defence from greater physical calamity which no one afflicted with nervousness or dyspepsia should neglect, and that is the use of Hostetter's Stomach Sitters, which by restoring the tone of the nerves and stomach invigorates the entire system. It also remedies ind prevents malarial, kidney and rheumatic ailments, and cures biliousness i and constipation. It is a capital appetizer, and promotes sound repose.

As was announced in The Advertier Wednesday was the day set by the Board of Revenue for a trp of Inspection oyer the Lower Wetumpka Road.

Some" 'of tire residents of Chisholm, about four miles out on that road, sent a conveyance into the city for the Board and early in the morning the start was made. The road was carefully inspscted all the way from here to the State farm, just this side of the river, and it was the unanimous decision of the Board that it should be cherted. From the State farm to the river, a distance of about two miles, road was graveled by the State several years ago and Is in first-class shape, but from here out to the farm It is in a most horrible condition. After taking dinner with the officials ait the farm, Mr. Tarbrough, who was driving, brought the party back to the city, reaching here about 5 o'clock In the afternoon.

Work will begin on this road at once and when finished the road all the way from here to Wetumpka will be good. The portion from here to the river will be magnificent. The Board of Revenue is certainly determined that Montgomery County shall have some of the best roads in the State, and in this laudable ambition they should be encouraged. The Board of Revenue was in session Monday, tout little of a general nature was done, beyond the ordering of the repairing of several bridges and the building of a new one on the Fen-ton Road.

These annual gatherings of the Sunday School folks are growing greatly in Interest and attendance. At the meeting held in Tuskaloosu last spring the delegates numbered between four and -five hundred; and the indications are that the one soon to meet in Birmingham will, greatly outnumber that one. A large number of prominent workers from outside of the State have promised to be In attendance to assist and council with the home-workers. All officers of the State, County and Beat Associations, Pastors and Superintendents are authorized delegates to the convention. Also one other representative from each Sunday School.

Now Is the time to commence to make arrangements so as to be surf to be present. Blrming-ham has thrown open her doors and extends1 a hearty welcome. Getting; Their Revenge. Paris, Feb. 25.

A weak stomach Is the pause of about nine-tenths of all diseases, yet In most cases the wrong thing is treated- and the true cause overlooked. This Is because a weak digestion produces symptoms resembling nearly every disease because It weakens and disturbs act'on of every nerve and organ In the body; poor digestion causes heart trouble. Kidney troubles, lung weakness and especially nervous break-dawa or nervous prostration, the nerves cannot stand the wear ana tear unless generously fed by well digested, wholesome food. Keep the digestion good and na one need fear the approach of disease. Mrs.

H. M. Lee of Rochester, N. writes: "For the sake of suffering humanity I want to say that from a ohild I had a very weak stomach, threw up my food very often after eating and after a few years nervous dyspepsia resulted and for more than twenty years I have but tared Inexpressibly. I tried many physicians and advertised remedies with only temporary relief for nervous dyspepsia and not until 1 oom-imenced taking Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets last September, six months ago; have I been free from suffering caused by the condition of my nerves and stomach; in, short, chronio nervous dyspepsia.

I have recommended Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to many of my friends and noV I want In a public way to aay they- se the safest, pleasantast and I believe, surest cure for stomach and nerve troubles. I write my honest opinion and I Will gladly answer any letter ot inquiry at any time and feel that I ami, in my small way. helping on a good cause. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is not a patent medicine, but they contain only the fruit salts, digestive acid and peptones necessary to halp the weak stomach to promptly and tnorougnly digest food. All druggists aell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 60 cents for full sized package and anyone suffering from nervous dyapepala, sour stomach, headaches, acidity, gases, belching, will find them not only a Quick relief, but a radical cure.

IN VUST1UATION. Doth Alabama, Senators Ouuoae the C'onllrnintlon und That Will lluve (lucli Weight Report on Wednesday NextA liurd Fight Agaluat Siliiuiouu. Washington, March 2. (Special.) As tha 'hoinektretcli comes rap dly on the chance of -Mr.

Buckley for being postmaster at Mon'tgoimt-ry grow In The having the matter under Inves'tigition, Senators Gsar of Iowa and Clay of Georgia have finished hearing testimony and examining papers. There- were many affidavits charging Mr. Buckley with having acted In time past In a marcner unbecoming a public official and with the grossest immorality. Thestt affidavits were met by many affidavit tend.ng to disprove the. charges.

It seems to a case of doubt lh the minds of the com-mit'tee with Inclination to give the government the benefit of tha doubt. The decision is ths more inclined to be against Buckley because the repres.n-tatives from his State believe in them to the extent of oppbsing his confirmation. Senator Morgan opposes it; Senator Pettu-s opposes it; and Representative StaTirngs opposes It. It would be rare for Senators to Insist' upon confirming a nomination In a State Senators both oppose It. Sanator Clay being a Democrat from an adjoining State would naturally be i greatly influenced by Senators Morgan and Pet-tus.

The weight of -the Alabama Senator's opinion would naturally count much with Senator Gear. In case of doubt, therefore, It would be rather singular if the suib-committaie did not report in line with the views of the Alabama delegation, particularly when these views are coroborated by a large number of affidavits. Owing tojnterventiori of more' important business In meeting of the Post-office the case was not reported upon today by the sub-committee having It under Investigation. The report was to have been adverse. It was postponed till next Wednesday.

By this time it is possible that Its complexion may change. A time has not yet been fixed by Senator Gear and Clay for hearing Senator Turner of Washington in the Interest of Dallas B. Sialth, who was nominated for postmaster at Opelika. Senator Hoar and Pettus, the subcommittee of the Judiciary, are still wrestling with 'the Frank Simmons mars'halshiip case. It has been impossible to get anything from either of these Senators concerning their investigations.

It is almost sure however that Senator Pettus has reached the conclusion that Mr. Simmons ought not to be confirmed, and It Is a fair presumption, considering all that can be learned about the case, that Senator Hoar will agree with his Alabama coleague and that the report of the sub-committee to the full committee will be unfavorable. Representative tailings' opposition to Mr. Simmons continues unabated. The big Mobile delegation which was to appear before the River and Harbors Committee tomorrow has had its hearing postponed till Friday.

The effect of all those hearings are diminished by the Improbability of a river and harbor bill at this session. MARRIED IN ALABAMA. In Phenlx City, J. W. Coan and Miss Mai Belle Hollls.

They brought back with them a young white man named Saimuel Cullers, who is said to be an expert manipulator of the art of making moonshine wiiskey.

The plantaVis located In a long, dark and deep gulch, adjacent to a clump of bedar trees and not In a cabin, as is usual. The place was easily located with the information already at hand and on the door of the distillery, which was closed was the sign "Not at Home," which was intended for revenue officers. The door was broken down and the officers very unceremoniously entered, but they found tlhe fermenters and the worm missing. Upon search they found a trail leading up from the gulch and on following it they soon came to" hollow ground and on brushing away tho leaves and pine straw, discovered boards and under them a deep pit and In there -they found the missing articles.

In the fermenters were 150 gallons of beer. Cullers was then arrested and will no doubt have to go the way of all moonshiners, who have gone before. NO CURE NO PAY.
