 Badly Left.

Wholesale Clothing Manufactory Gets
 Badly Left
 A Cincinnati wholesale clothing firm, manufacturers of ready-to-wear clothing, finds itself placed in a ather peculiar po- sition at this stage of the year. it having manufactured for this fall season an ex- tremely high grade of goods and tre- mendous large stock. Being unable to dispose of them through their usual way to the retailers, they now find themselves with heavy obligations falling due short ly and with the goods barely made up and not sold. Arrangements have been completed whereby the majority of this stock falls in the hands of people opening a new store here in Birmingham. It will be with glad tidings and a big benefit to the people of our city and surrounding neighboring towns. This store opens Saturday, October 19 at 2015 First ave pue. (Make note of this.) It will be of interest to every person who in the past has been patronizing tailors to wait and see these goods.
 This Is no fake nor travelling fire store, Your inspection Is invited. You will find everything honorable and upright and all goods guaranteed as represented.
 Watch papers for prices that will be quoted shortly. They will be scorchers Remember Saturday, October 19, is our opening day. 2015 First avenue.

may congratulate the country upon the prospect of a more passionate discussion of the subject hereafter.
 Secretary Carlisle went on to say that the abandonment or defeat of the free silver movement will be sufficient to in- sure permanent financial peace in this country.
 Secretary Carlisle viewed the legal ten der paper currency legislation, which he characterized as radical and dangerous departure from true financial principles, If not a serious infraction of the eonsti- tuition of the United States.
 He described the process by which these legal tender notes are used to deplete the coin in the treasury and said the notes when redeemed should be can celled.
 In other words said Mir. Carlisle, the debt when paid ought to be extinguished. The government of the United States ought not to be In the business of issuing notes to circulate as money; 1t is not a proper function of that government and the sooner this truth is realized by the people the better 1t will be for the country.
 There can be no financial repose in this country go long as these notes con tinue part of our currency, because the fact that they exist compels the govern ment to provide a large gold reserve, which in the very nature of things can not be permanently maintained at any fixed amount, and whenever It begins 10 diminish distrust and apprehension arise in the public minds, values are unsettled. business disturbed and more or less loss is entailed upon the people. The losses already sustained on this account are almost beyond computation, and there is no good reason to believe that the coun- try can escape further injury in the future if the policy of the government is unchanged in this respect The fact that the soun6ness of our currency depends, or is supposed to depend upon the main tenance of certain fixed reserve In the treasury keeps the business of our coun- try in almost a state of agitation and detrimental to the interests of the peo- pie. He placed the responsibility upon the people and their representatives in congress to determine whether the public debt should be increased from time to time to redeem and issue this paper, which was in his opinion of doubtful constitutionality. The executive author ities must obey the laws as they stand, whether they be good or bad, but all the powers conferred upon them by the statutes he promised would be carefully and fearlessly exercised whenever neces- sary for the preservation of the public credit and the maintenance of a sound currency.
 In conclusion the secretary declared until legislation provides for a safe cur rency the parity of the two metals would be maintained, and the whole volume of our currency, paper and coin alike, would be kept equal to the highest standard recognized by the commercial nations of the world.

Politics Costs Three Lives.

St. Louis Oct: 12.-A special to the Star Savings from Lexington, Ky, says: During the progress of republican meeting in a small hamlet in Knott coun- ty last night melee occurred, which resulted in the loss of three lives Judge Coombs was addressing the meeting. The party of young democrats took umbrage at a statement made by the speaker and a general fight followed Pistols and knives were freely used. When quiet was restored 1t was found that Tom Howard and Henry Patter, democrats, and Judge Coombs, the speaker, were dead, and at least a dozen others injured. The scene of the riot Is at an almost inaccessible point in the mountains, and further par ticulars are not obtainable tonight.

self-help

You are weak, "run-down," health is frail, strength gone. Doctors call your case an- senia-there is a fat-fam- inc in your blood. Sc0tt's Emulsion of cod-liver. oil, with hypophosphites, is the best food means of getting your strength back doctor will tell you that.
 He knows also that when the digestion is weak it is better to break up cod-liver oil out of the body than to burden your tired digestion with it. Scott's Emulsion does that.

but Argue 1t.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-For ABOUT
thirty minutes yesterday the nerve
which all men have marveled at for
sock Holmes, and he sunk his head
into his hands and sobbed like child.
Meanwhile the woman he persists in
calling his wife, and upon whom he
had pinned his highest hope, sat two
yards away, relating a story that
slowly but surely tighrened the moose
around his neck. Throughout her
testimony Miss Yoke, for so she calls
herself, never once bestowed a passing
glance upon the man she once lived
with.
The case progressed so swiftly that
but few witnesses remain to be heard
before the closing of the common
wealth's case. Then the defense will
open, and in spite of Holmes state
ment that he would himself testify
and also call Miss Yoke, his counsel
privately stated that the defense would
offer no defense, but su bmit the case
on argument alone. The attorney ex-
pressed confidence in his acquittal.
Their first victory was gained last
night. The defense strenuously OBJ
jected to the Introduction of any
further evidence touching the alleged
murder of the children. The jury
were temporarily taken to their room.
Elaborate arguments followed, at the
end of which Judge Arnold sustained
the contention.

John Marshall Discovers Alarming Cor

John Marshall Discovers Alarming Con-
ditiOn of Electric Light Boilers.
Topeka has jnst narrowly escaped los
ing her bandmaster and several other
things that are useful
Yesterday Mr.. Marshall, who is also
superintendent of the citv's electric light
plant, noticed leak in one of the four
big boilers, and he Immediately sent for
boiler maker and began to institute an
examination. The boilers were emptied
and a scientific search began.
Two of the boilers were all right. but
in each of the other two spots were found
in the boiler iron that were less than a
sixteenth of an inch thick. MIR. Marshall
took a pointed hammer aud easily broke
holes in the boilers in several places.
This means that it is a wonder of the
most wonderful kind that the boilers
have not exploded long ago and blown
our electric light plant over to the other
side of the river and taken a good chunk
OF the Santa Fe shops country with it.
Mr.. Marshall has four boiler makers at
work on one of the boilers and hopes to
get it ready for use so that he will be able
to run the plant with three boilers be-
ginning next Tuesday night In the
meantime if the moon gels lost some
night Topeka people will have to feel
their way about town or stay at home.
Topeka has no boiler inspector. The
Insurance company's inspector pro-
nounced the boilers sound five months
ago. He mus. be dandy.
1t was a narrow escape indeed and
Mr.. MarshalPs hair almost stands uu
every time he thinks Of it.
