A FATHERs CRIME.
Accomplishes the Ruin of His Own Daughter and Leaves, But Is
 Captured at Eutaw.

Another hellish crime has been added to Jefferson county's list. This time it is not man seeking revenge for some unpardon- able doing, neither is it one rival for lady s hand against another, but 1t is the father upon the daughter and the crime is rape.
 Hattie Hooper, once the pride of fam- fly, is now pointed at as being the victim of an imitation of father, who is un- worthy to be classed with a brute.
 Yesterday afternoon warrant was sworn out for the arrest of one Thomas W. Hooper, a white man about 36 years old, upon charge of rape and then assault and battery.
 Town Marshal Frank Phillips of Pratt City came into the city after the man and found that he had gone back to Pratt City. He then went where Hooper was supposed to be, but had given him the dodge.
 Marshal Phillips came back to the city and he and Warden Jack J. CurraD went to work on the case.
 They soon found out where Hooper had gone and proceeded to go about making capture.
 They went over to the Alabama Great Southern dispatcher's office and tele- graphed to Tuskalooss 10 have him arrested, but the train had passed there. he having boarded an Alabama Great Southern south bound passenger train. They then teie- graphed to Eutaw and when the train ar- rived he was arrested and lacked up in Greene couuty's jail, where he is still.
 The story of the crime as near as could be learned runs about this way:
 As to this man Hooper or his daughter there seems to be but little known of them except that they resided in the country some distance from Pratt City.
 This man, daughter and two other mem- bers of the family are said to have lived together, and this girl, a buxom lass of 16 years, was the pride of the family. They sIl seemed to live peacefully together and no ono seemed to know that within that father's bosom, instead of fatherly love. there lurked the lowest desire that hell could raiso.
 The father, instead of acting as a parent toward chlid, is said to have become in- fatuated with his daughter, and, seeking chance. did ravish her person and do her bodily Injury. Not only did he do this, it Is vaid, hut he followed 1t up with most brutal beating, and one which has already resulted in much pain. She IS badly torn and suffering considerably.
 Just exactly where the act took place or what time is not known by the officers.
 Hooper will probably be brought back here today and lodged in the sounty jail.

Head Hunting In Asam.

Professor Peal, the ethnologist, recently described to the Asiatic society the condi- tion of the head hunting Nagas on the bor- ders of Asam. The women are to blame for the continuance of the practice. They taunt the young men who are not tat tooed, and the latter go out and cut of heads to exhibit to them, fully half of which are those of women and children. The area occupied by the tribe is not more than 20 miles square, but in it during the last 40 years more than 12,000 murders have been committed for the sake of these ghastly trophies.

AGE-HERALD BUREAU,

ANNlSfONs Oct. <o. J
 Dr. s. J. McCurry of this city, wanted for manslaughter, has been located and ar- rested at Monterey, Mex, and a telegram received by Chief of Police Prather to that effect. The crime with which McCurry is charged is that of performing an abortion on and causing the death of Miss Hattie Tucker, good looking young woman, the daughter of respectable and well-to-do people at Riverside, fifteen miles west of here, who was betrayed by her brother-ln- law, Joe Beard, and induced by him to come to Anniston about six weeks since and have the operation performed. The unfortunate girl came here, stopped with Gussie Wilson, wellknown woman of the town, and it was at her house that the death, mysterious for time, occurred. It was discovered that criminal operation had been performed. The evidence was conclusive against McCurry and he skipped. Steps are being taken for his immediate extradition. Beard is already in jail here.

"A PINE PERFORMANCE
Professor Gentry's Equine and Canine Paradox Delights Large
 Audience.

On Sixth avenue, between Tweuty-thlro and Twenty fourth streets, last night Pro- lessor Gentry, under large canvas, pre- scented to large audience a refined show far beyond the ordinary. AS announced in the columns of the AGE HERALD, he pro- posed to present to the citizens of Birming- ham an entertainment both novel and in- structive. This he did, and in a manner more than satisfactory to the audience present, which, regardless of the inclem- ent weather, was very satisfactory, and among whom were many refined people.
 Professor Gentry has appeared before h this city, having given an exhibition at O'Brien s opera house, which was loudly praised by press and public. He has the same intelligent and beautiful ponies and dogs, and the wonderful! performances they go through are marvellous to say the least of them.
 To witness the almost human intelligence exhibited by them one must wonder at tue patience of man necessary to teach them to go and come without a word of com mmand, go through the many antics and do them so thoroughly and well.
 The little brutes were at their best last night, and seemed to realize that this was their opening night Tn Birmingham, and that it was nt cess.srv that they should put forth their best If ,ris 10 draw larger crowds for their forthcoming performances.
 There is nothing in the least objectlona- ble in what Pro .essor Gentry presents, and the most fastidious may see the perform ances without the least hesitation.
 The tent is situated directly on the Ely ton electric car line and but half block from the East and North Birmingha dummy lines.
 The price of admission is only 10 and 20 cents ,and every one should see the wonder ful dogs and ponies.

TAX COLLECTIONS.

County Treasurer Lloyd has figured
up the amount of real estate and de-
linquent personal property taxes col
lected from March 1st to June LIST,
and finds the total to be $l65, S76.65.
This is SIS, 900 more than was collected
during the same months last year, and
indicates that Blue Earth county has
felt the hard times very lightly. This
increase is explained by the extra levy
of $4,000 for the new jail, 81, 500 to pay
Beaufort bonds, $4,000 to pay Mankato
township bonds, and the amounts
voted to pay the Lime and Garden
City bonds. The amount of delin-
Quent taxes is now somewhat greater
than a year ago.
/. The treasurer has not yet had time
to ascertain how much of the collec-
tiOns belongs to each fund, but will
have this statement prepared in about
week. Last year the city received
SOS, 500. 40 at the June settlement, and
the city school district Sl2, 1925 and
the amounts will not be much differ
ent this year.

NEW BUSINESS BLOCK.

L. Patterson has decided to erect a
new business block on the site of the
two buildings burned a week ago.
Architect Thayer is preparing the
plans, and the present idea is to erect
a one-story building, 44X15O feet. The
front 50 feet is to be divided into two
stores, and the rear 20 feet into three
stores facing Cherry street. The
stores will have full plate glass front,
and will be first-class in all particu-
lars. The building will be of brick,
stone trimmed, and handsome archi-
tectually. This plan has not yet
been fully decided upon, and it may
be that second story will be built,
and fitted up for lodge room purposes.
The one story building would cost
about So, 200, or with two stories about
S11,000. The lodge room would be the
finest in the city, splendidly yenti-
lated, and very convenient.
Our citizens will be pleased to see
this corner improved, and will hope
that it may be decided to have more
than one story. The building is to
be erected at once, as soon as a plan
is fully decided upon

such a terrible state that it threw
him into inflammation of the bowels

paired of. | had heard about lactated
food, and by the advice of the attend

The baby liked it from the first and
it agreed with him. He got well and
began to grow fat at once. At six
months of age he weighed % pounds.
He never had the slightest trouble
with teething, his teeth coming with
out our knowledge until we could see
them. On the whole he is one of the
happiest, sweetest babies one would
care to see.'
No family should be without lactat-
ed food from this time on.
