ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN IS INAUGURATED -COPY OF ADVERTISEMENTS OF PENSACOLA AND ESCAMBIA COUNTY HAS BEEN SENT TO A NUMBER OF THE LEADING PUBLICATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES. Secretary G. A- Waterman, of the Commercial Association, states that, - in accordance with the plans outlined by the publicity committee of that or ganization, copy has been prepared and placed with several of the leading publications of the United States for advertisements setting forth the ad vantages of Pensacola and Escambia county. These advertisements call attention to the state nent of the department of 5 agriculture in the Escambia county 8oil survey that there is "unlimited "opportunity in Escambia county for r the growing of early and late truck for . shipment to the north." They also di- - rect attention to the fact that the soli " In this county is easily tilled, that. : there is an abundance of good water ; and that there is an average rainfall of 57 Inches, which is well distributed : throughout the year. The publications to which copy has been sent and the schedule according ' to which it will be run is as follows: - The Saturday Evening Post, issues of May 20th, May 27 and June 3rd; Cos mopolitan and Everybody's magazines, for June Issues; the New York Her ald, The Chicago Tribune, The Cleve land Plain Dealer and The Pittsburg Press, for six weeks, beginning April 23rd, for issues of each Sunday, "Wed nesday and Friday. All of the advertisements are to be classified ads. with the exception of that which has been placed with the Saturday evening Post, which Is to be display advertising. It is the opinion of the secretary and the members of the publicity committee that much good will be ac--eompllshed both for the city and the "county as a result of the advertising i campaign thus lnagurated. At the ex J piration of this schedule other adver tisements will be prepared and dis t tributed throughout the country. i Presents Bill For I Protection of the Forests t Continued from First Page) I tain cases was the feature of the se ; sion this morning. Almost every mem- ber of the body had something to say : on the subject, most of which was fa- vorable to the bill. Senator Calkins opposed It because he said there had been too much legislation in the senate for the benefit of lawyers and further because he thought the effect of the Stokes measure would be to impair the professional ethics. Senator Stoke replied by explaining the object of th? measure and citing a concrete example constituting an injustice to lawyers which the bill was designed to correct There are several other lawyers in th senate and all had stories of similar woe to relate, where a lawyer had ad vanced expense money for clients, had prepared cases and taken them Into court to find after all the trouble, ex pense and pains that the client had settled with the defendant and left th; attorney with the bag to hold. The bill passed by 25 to 4, those opposed being Senators Calkins. Cook, Finlay son and Johnson. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. Senator Finlayson, as chairman of the committee to draft resolutions on the death of the late Senator Wm. Gi rardeau, made a report this morning. The tribute was spread on the Journ&l of the senate and a copy ordered trans mitted to the senator's widow. FOR SILVER SERVICE. Senator Calkins offered a bin appro priating J4.000 for a silver service 'or the battleship Florida. Senator Broome offered a bill to as sist the Confederate veterans In their desire to erect a monument to the wo men of Florida for their heroism and self-sacrifice during the war between the states.

Stone in Bladder Removed Without Surgical Operation In the Spring of 1904, I was confin ed to my bed with kidney trouble and thought that I would never recover. I took a lot of medicine but did not re alize any benefit from anything. I finally saw Dr. Kilmer's Swamp -Root advertisement and sent for a sample bottle and thought the sample bottle helped me, so I bought more of the medicine front my Druggist, and after using a few bottles discharged a very large stone from my bladder. After passing this stone my health was very much improved and I have been able to continue my business without any serious sickness. J. I KNOWLES, Headland, Ala.

THE WAILES CLAIM. The temper' of the house in regard to the Wailes claim was shown a few days ago when the resolution present ed by Mr. Wells of Leon, for a settle ment of the claim was metaphorlcallv thrown out the window. The Weill resolution provided for a conference with the claimant by a committee, the object of which was to be an agree ment upon the sum to be paid. Many years of waiting and disappointment have brought all the supporters or tne Wailes claim to the conclusion that tha full amount of the claim will never te voted by a Florida legislature, thougn It Is difficult to understand how the state can with dignity recognize the validity of the claim without paying the full amount. The Wells resolution was drafted by the late ex-Governor Bloxham. who wanted to see the mat ter settled, and who took the pains to prepare the document and place It In the hands of the Leon county member. This was done two yearB ago. The last legislature defeated it and the ac tion was repeated at the present ses sion, but this is not the end of the Wailes claim. Representative Dough erty has Introduced a bill which will put the matter in the courts, if It Is passed and becomes a law, and a for mal adjudication of the claim may be had. But there Is small hope for the Dougherty bill. If all former action in regard to the claim is to be taken as an indication. It is well known that Governor Gilchrist is opposed to the claim and if the bill Is passed he will likely enter his veto against it. It would seem, therefore, that the only chance for the bill to become a law would be over the governor's veto. Mr. Dougherty is hopeful. He is not In clined to think that the governor wi'l veto the bill If It gets by the legisla ture, since the measure provides sim ply for an adjudication and not for the payment of any money whatever.

WILLIAMS RAISED OBJEC TION TO APPLICATIONS FOR PO SITIONS IN POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS BEING HELD UP BY HEADS OF THOSE DEPART- ME NTS. At last nights regular meeting of tha board of public safety an issue whirh called for some discussion was raised by P. J. Williams, member of the board. It was in regard to applications for positions in the police and fire depart ments, and Mr. Williams insisted that hereafter all applications must be brought before the board at the first meeting after the application is made to the chief of either of the depart ments. Heretofore it has been the cu? torn in both of the departments to file the applications in regular order and present them whenever there is a need for men. However, both the chief of the rollce department and the chief of the fire department expressed their willingness hereafter to present them at once. Their only contention was that if they are required to present the applications immediately, they will, in ell probability, have to present a num ber of them .not approved, it beta; deemed by them unnecessary to ap prove an unlimited number of applica tions when there are no positions open. PROCEEDINGS. The meeting was called to order with Chairman Johnson and Messrs, Williams and Vlllar present, and the minutes of several regular and special meetings were read and approved. On account of the absence of wit nesses, the charges against Officer Ray, Anderson and Parnell. of the po lice department, were continued until the next regular meeting. Charges were preferred against Wm Hunter, of the fire department, for failure to report for duty, and his ca.se was set for trial at the next regular meeting of the boardL The report of the chief of the fire department was read, received and filed. The report showed the average cost of feeding horses In that depart ment to be $9.26 per head per month. It also contained a bill for $75 for re pairing of hose. On motion, the bill was referred to the council, with a re quest for an appropriation to cover it. The report of the marshal was re ceived and filed.' The report showed that during the month of March 415 arrests were made, $1,630 In fines was assessed, and that the average cost per meal for feeding prisoners whs 61-2 cents. An Invitation to the parade and pic nic of the Volunteer Veteran Firemen's Association, together with a request that the Are department be allowed to participate In the parade, was received. It was left In the discretion of the chief of that department as to how much of the department should be used In the parade. The request of W. T. Donaldson, of the fire department, for pay for two days lost time on account of injury re ceived while on active duty, being ap proved by the chief of the department and accompanied by a certificate from a physician, was granted. The resignation of J. P. O'Shea from the fire department was received and accepted and a vote of thanks extend ed to him for his efficient and faithful service to the department. The applications of Claude H. Keith. Marion D. Sousa and Willie Bicker as members of the fire department, being approved by the chief of the depart ment, were accepted subject to the usual examination. A motion prevailed to the effect that undess D. G. Touart, of the fire de partment, shall make satisfactory set tlement of a bill against him whloh has been referred to Chief Bicker, charges shall be preferred against him at the next regular meeting of the board. The request of Officer Stubbs, of the police department, for pay for time lost on account of illness contracted by exposure while on duty, being approved by the chief of the department, was granted. After looking over the pay rolls and bills, the board adjourned. WOMEN CHARGED WITH FIGHTING Evelyn Montgomery and Pearl Ul- mer, both colored, were arrested last night on the charge of fighting. The fight Is alleged to have occurred on South Baylen street, In the house of another woman, and she blew the po lice whistle. Officer Kelly made the arrest. Both of the women were locked up and will face the recorder this morn ing. I SERIOUSLY ILL PARTIALLY RECOVERED FROM RECENT ILLNESS BUT HAS HAD ANOTHER ATTACK WILL GO TO NEW YORK NEXT WEEK IF HE IS WELL ENOUGH FOR TRIP. M. H. Sullivan is seriously ill at his home on West Gregory street. He had improved after an illness of several weeks ago and his friends thought he was recovering and will regret to know that ha Is not doing so well at this time. If his condition will permit he will be taken to New York some time next week where he will remain for some time under the care of physicians. Rebels Win Most Important Battle (Continued from First Page) places of safety. Some attempted to train vantage points to view the field of battle. Notwithstanding the strict orders of the American troops, many rushed to the international line in or der to get a sight of the fighting. They were here exposed to imminent dan ger. With the firing of the first shot, Col. Shunk ordered out all the American cavalry available in Douglas. They were rushed quickly to the border and took up positions along the line. Many of these were exposed to the fire of the Mexican troops though there were ro casualties among them during the early part of the battle. Company D of the. Arizona national guard also was ordered out and took up a position at the armory to await further orders. There were four troops of cavalry and one mllltla company in Douglas. This was considered an am- IT IT EASIER TO SAVE THE HAIR You Have Than to Grow New.

DEADLY FIRE CONTINUES. For fully fifteen minutes the two armies held their respective positions while the deadly fire continued. Thirty minutes after the battle opened the rebels were seen to abandon their out lying positions and fall back to the breastworks nearer Agua Prieta. The federal advance was slow and in open order with almost continuous firing. The rebels with admirable stubborn ness contended every inch of the way. While insurrecto riflemen were fall ing back to the second row of en trenchments they fought boldly in the open. They were seen to stop and take deliberate aim at the advancing national line and fire round after round. The backward movement of tho rebels against Agua Prieta, however, was steady. At 7 o'clock an automobile carrying United States Marshal Overlock, Se cret Service Agent Thompson and the Associated Press correspondent passe l through the guard line on the Ameri can side of the international line. A hail of bullets drove the party to shelter. A bullet struck the automobile, others dug the ground on all sides and there was a continuous whizz of the leaden missies overhead. It was considered too dangerous a post and the observ ing party retired across the line t3 Fourth street. SILENCE MACHINE GUNS. I Suddenly the federal machine guns were silenced. The rifle fire, however, kept up without intermission. It wps apparent that the federal sharpshool - ers were concentrating their fire on the federal machine gun operators and were slowly picking them off. Time and time again the guns 'appeared to be unmanned. At 7:45 o'clock, an hour and a quar ter after the battle opened, the federal machine guns were again in action and were raking the rebel position on two sides. The Red Cross volunteers crossed the border and went upon the field at this hour, Di, Shine, of Blsbee, Arh:., was chief surgeon of the volunteers. Every surgeon In Douglas and many from Blsbee were being brought to the line to attend the wounded. Women and girls expressed their willingness to act as nurses. The fire from the rebel trenches wa3 having Its effect on the right wing of the federal force and the federals were driven back. In falling back, however, they swung around to the east and not far enough to come into contact with the rebels lying in the trenches which had been dug to prevent a left flank movemen;. Here a heavy body of rebels was post ed to hold the federals from gaining the American line. As the fire belched from these en trenchments, the rebel bullets hissed across the line into the southeast sec tion of Douglas and Into two school buildings. While the federals fell back, the rebel commander In command pushed forward his men and, with others coming up to support them, continued to engage the retiring federal right wing. The firing grew fainter as the federal retired on this quarter. FIRST ATTACK A FAILURE. Following this movement the fire slackened to the southeast and it be came apparent that the first attack of the federal had been a failure. As far as could be learned the gov ernment troops had about 1,600 men ongaged, including 200 cavalry under Coinmandate Barron, chief of the ru rales in Sonora. The rebels showed remarkable or ganization throughout the battle. Every point of vantage was guarded, includ ing the adobe guard house on the in ternational line end every trench and building in the outskirts of Agua Prie ta had its squad of men waiting to get into action. One bullet passed through the hat of an American trooper on the interna tional line. United States cavalrymen were dismounted standing beside their horses. The mounts were finally moved to sheltered positions behind the adobe buildings along the line. The army ambulances also were hauled there. A great throng gathered at Fifth stree 500 yards from the international line. Intent on witnessing the battle but ths American patrol forced back all per sons except those carrying1 passes. Twenty men were detailed to take the ftld on the Mexican side of th-s iino for Red Cross work and about a hundred volunteers were held on this ride to take care of the Injured. Oscar Goll, who accompanied thi Associated Press correspondent, w?is .struck bj a bullet on the side of the head while ho was watching the prog ress of the fight from Fourth street. A lor-g gash was cut In his scalp and blood steamed over his face. The Associated Press correspondent crossed the line and found "Red Lo pez, one of the rebels who com manded the garrison. All of Lopez's men had been engaged since the early firing began. "We concentrated our fire of sharp shooters on the two machine guns that the federals had brought Into ac tion and succeeded In putting thfm out of business," said Lopez. "The loss of life is undoubtedly heavy. At this hour I believe we have t.aten the federals badly. FIRING RENEWED. By this time firing had been renew ed.

JONES Street Superintendent who came so near winning out in the first prim ary and who is now making a vig orous campaign for the second. the American inspection party in the automobile were compelled to retire hastily Into Douglas. The federal troops paid no attention to the warnings not to fire into Ameri can territory, but, fighting from low land, they elevated their guns and the bullets carried into the city of Doug las. On a little knoll at a Mexican cemetery the rebels had contrived a dirt fort 300 feet long. The federal fire directed at this point skimmed the ground and whizzed into the streets of the American town. The whole sec tion of the city between Fifth street and the international line was de serted. The American custom house was under fire continuously and the citi zens sheltered there took refuge in a deep ditch. At 1:30 the firing ceased with the rebels holding every position which they occupied at the beginning of the battle. The rebels began digging new trenches at once. "Red" Lopez reported the rebel casualties in the trench as light. American troops had forced Douglas residents back to Sixth street, within three blocks of the center of the city. Shots from the federal battalions which had a position a little to the southwest of Agua Prieta crashed through the home of Robert Rae, chief auditor of the Copper Queen Consoli dated Mining Company. Mr. Rae and his family were driven out. AMEICAN SOLDIERS EXPOSED. The American soldiers exposed to the fire behaved with courage and coolness. At 9 o'clock they alone maintained their positions along the line. Thousands of spectators cover ed the housetops farther back and fill ed the streets commanding a view of the battle grounds. At 9:30 a. m. the firing was continu ing, but the federal machine guns were heard no more and appeared to be out of commission. AGAIN RESUME FIRING. Firing was resumed at 11 o'clock, the federal machine guns were still out of commission. Mrs. Alice Gattliff, the American wo man who remained in Agua Prieta with the Stars and Stripes flying above her little curio stores, telephon ed to Dougl'iiLat 10:40 a. m. that she was still unhurt. "Red" Lopez, the insurrecto chief, who had teen in her store, told her that the federals ad vancing across the open ground had lost heavily in killed and wounded. Subscribe for The Journal.

The same is true of scalp diseases. In fact bald ness is a scalp disease. The trouble with the greasy salves and lotions, the so-called dandruff and scalp cures, you have tried so far is that they don't d anything but temporarily relieve th Itching and cake the dandruff so it doesn't fall until its dried out again Nothing can cure really cure such troubles but a real scalp medicine that will kill the germs causing dandruff and scalp disease. Learning from leading fellow drug gists throughout America that they had found a whirlwind cure for dan druff, eczema and all diseases of the skin and scalp the Crystal Pharmacy on proving to the laboratories com pounding the treatment that it is the most prominent drug store in this city secured the agency for the remedy.
