FELIX HALL IS RESPITED.
Governor Jelks Grants Him Thirty
Days More of Life.
Montgomery, September *29.—(Special.)—
Felix Hall is to have thirty additional
days of life because of executive clemen
cy. Governor Jelks today respited him
for thirty days at the request of Judge
Dan A. Greene. It appears from the cor
respondence that Judge Greene has not
had the time to investigate the new evi
dence which Hall claims can be produced
in a thoroughly satisfactory manner.
Unless there is a further stay of sen
tence, Hall will be hanged on Thursday,
October 22. In speaking of the day set
for the hanging today, which Is a change
from the old custom of Friday, Private
Secretary Jackson said: “The only rea
son to be assigned for the change of
days is simply that I have never been an
enemy of Friday. In fixing days of ex
ecutions I have believed in distributing
them around among the several days of
the week, except Sundavr, as a matter
of course."
Hall killed young Clarke at Ensley
more than a year ago, and this is the
second time that he has received a stay
of sentence in order to give him a chance
to secure proof of his non-guilt.

by indictment of the grand jury with the

Today a great deal of excitement was

which is shaped like a policeman's club,
with a piece of iron on the end, and
struck the young man over the head
twice, felling him to the ground and
causing a painful though not serious
wound. While fellow employes were at
tending to Hughes the negro escaped out
of a back window. Officers, however,
captured him about two miles from the
city and safely landed him in jail.

were almost simultaneously placed upon
the unfortunate animal and he suffered
terribly.

AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY
So Thinks at Lea3t One Traveling Man.
I would as soon think of starting out
w ithout my mileage books and grip as to
start on a trip without a box of Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets in my valise, said a
traveling man who represents a St. Louis
hardware house. Why? Because 1 have
to put up at all kinds of hotels and hoard
ing houses. I have to eat good, had and
indifferent food at all hours of the day
and night and I don’t believe any man's
stomach will stand that sort of thing
without protest, anyway I know mine
won’t. It has to have something to break
the fall and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
is the crutch I fall hack on.
My friends often "josh” me about it,
tell mo ym an easy mark for patent medi
cine fakers, that advertised medicines are
humbugs, etc., but I notice that they are
nearly always complaining of their aches
and pains and poor digestion, while I can
stand most any old kind of fare and feel
good and ready for work when it needs
me, and I believe I owe my good digestion
and sound health to the dally, regular
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, year in
and year out. and all the "joshing" in the
world will never convince me to the con
trary.
I used to have heartburn about three
times a day and a headache about three
or four times a week and after standing
for this for four or five years I began to
look around for a crutch and found it
when my doctor told me tb*» best invest
ment T could make would be a fifty cent
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I
have Invested about fifty rents a month
for them ever since and when I stop to
think that that is what T spend every day
for cigars, I feel like shaking hands with
myself for I can keep my stomach and
digestion In first class order for fifty cents
a month. I don’t care for any better life
insurance.
My druggist tells me they are the most
popular of all stomach medicines and that
they have maintained their popularity
and success because they do as advertised.
They bring results, and results are what
count in patent medicine as much as in
selling barbwire.

Mrs. Nelson describes the condition of hundreds of women in this city to-day. That
condition comes by slow stages. Usually the important function of menstraatiou fa at fir-*
slightly imegular. Then comes the painful periods. Bearing down pains and
ovarian inflammation follow. Finally the aerres weaken and the whole sys- _
tem bas become affected and the pains rack the body from head to foot.
If a healthy woman were suddenly reduced to this terrible condition she would be driven to des
peration and she would be willing to take even the smallest chance of securing relief. But female
diseases advance so gradually it is hard for a woman to realize just ho w serious is her condition. Wine
of Cardui is a menstrual regulator of established reputation. No woman who takes it suffers as Mis.
Nelson suffered. It gives speedy and complete relief from the torturing menstrual agonies which are mak
ing so many woman invalids to-day. Do notlet yourself come to the pitiable condition Mrs. Nelson de
scribes. Secure a bottle of Widc of Cardin from ycrur druggist to-day and begin the treatment immediately.
