THE ALABAMA CLUB
Has Been Reorganized, and Is in Elegant
 Quarters.

The old Alabama club has been reor- ganized and put on a. sound financial basis, it is said. The new quarters are in the Peerless building. on Nineteenth street and Second avenue. A State Her aid reporter visited the club rooms last evening. Though the appointments are not yet complete, they are even in their present condition far more elegant than any of the club rooms in the city. On the second floor, with its beautiful frescoed ceilings, the clubman has the privileges of the billiard hall, the reading room and buffet Large French plate mirrors add considerably to the general appearance of the place.
 The billiard tables are features in them selves. Indeed, they are the best that money can buy. A set of pool balls of genuine ivory are used. They cost $125 Up stairs are the card rooms. It Is said that none but gentlemen will be admit ted to the club membership and that its administration will be conducted strictly on club principles.
 The club will be formally opened to- morrow.

Frankfort Ky, Jan. 1.-The demo- cratic members who stayed out of the joint caucus are preparing for a mani festo to be sent broadcast and in which they define their position with regard to Senator Blackburn. There is now abso- lutely no possibility of their voting at the joint assembly.

The occasion was a recital by two of Professor Gucken- berger's most accomplished pupils. They were Misses Marie Louise Canister on the piano and Miss Graoc Openshaw with the violin. The young ladies furnished a high order of performance of a high class of music. That is saying much, but 1t Is little after all when one recalls the briliiants and sweets of melody that such clever interpretation discovers In the masterpieces of vieuxtemps and DeBer- niot for the violin and the glorious and exaltlng sound-poems of Chopin.

THEY WILL BUY 1T.
The Southern Club to Purchase the Linn Prop
 prfv

The Southern club held an adjourned meeting last night in the club rooms on First avenue and vested authority In the board of control to purchase the Linn property, on Nineteenth street, and to make such additions and alterations as are deemed necessary for the Southern clubs future quarters.
 MT. George Allison of the board in- formed State Herald reporter that pre- liminary arrangements toward that end would be made at once. The residence is at present occupied by Colonel Graves. and 1t Is probable that possession will not be given the club until next summer. Eight thousand dollars will be paid for the house and lot. It Is proposed to alter the interior and add a billiard hall and ball room in the rear. This addition, 1t is said, will be constructed on plans for a new building. so that 1t will only be necessary to tear away the front when 1t is desired to build on the original plans.
 After the meeting sumptuous lunch and a generous bowl was set before the clubmep-

The True Method of Flowing.

- The true method of blowing Is to break up the soil as deeply as possible without lessening the fertility of 1t. If we are able 10 i'll the soil with plant food to such a depth, then we may turn 1t SO deeply up to the ability of the horses to do the work. But 1t Is never necessary to turn a furrow over inches deep at the most, and for the greater part Inches Is deep enough to do good work, for in good blowing the furrow slices should lie at an angle of 45 degrees with the surface, and this requires a furrow slice 9 inches in width and>6 in thickness, and if ma nure has been turned under, or a sod, the space between the furrows will be filled from the bottom to the top with food for the plants available for the first growth of roots. Then the bottom hav- ing been broken by the subsoier follow ing the turning blow. will take In what ever is dissolved of the decaying matter on the surface. and in time will have ab- sorbed good supply of it, and will thus have become as fertile as the top soil. and the roots, having grown mxuriantly on their first supply of food in the turn ed soil, will grow on and send their fbers into the lower soil, finding food as far down as they may go. And this Is the end to be reached by the farmer when he starts the plow

CREDIT WE DO NOT CLAIM.

Our valued little exchange the
Prison Mi,ror published by the in
mates of the Minnesota State prison

one of the most readable and inter-
esting papers that reach this office
does US the injustice to credit an ar

we are not entitled to. The article in
question was clipped from another
paper and found place on the out
side Of the GOLD LEAF without any
claim being made for its originality.
In giving us credit for it the Prison

Of day in a wrongly making US

We say this because we do not wish to

Articles printed outside of the edito-
