A large number of those who owe the
office bills, some of them of long
standing, had promised to pay them
on the first of April without fail. Sc
confident were we that this would be
done, that we had provided supply
of shot bags in which to carry the
coin to the bank; but it turned out
that the whole thing was an April
fool, the foundations of which had
been laid a month ahead. Not a
single one of the practical jokers
framed his face in our counting room

FIRST OF APRIL FRANKS.
Some of the CarryIngs-on That Marked the
Day of Fools.


April Fools Day was not allowed
to go by this year without the usual
number of pranks and jokes. The
young ladies of Bethel Female
College started the ball early in the
morning. When their breakfast bell
rang, instead of going into the dining
room, they marched out OF the Col
lege and down the street, fifty or more
in the crowd, all bareheaded and
without wraps. After short walk
they returned to the College, but
found that the joke had been turned
on them and that the dining room
had been closed on them. They then
went down in town and made a raid
on Galbreath's fruit tables and after
taking in the city generally, returned
in time for "books."
Mr.. Manon, OF the Chicago Candy
Kitchen, prepared for the day by
making up lot of chocolate and
other fine candies filled with soap,
pepper, garlic, cotton and other such
things. These were sold in large
quantities to the jokers, who would
supply themselves with two bags Of
candy and go among their friends
eating from the concealed one, when
there would be general grab for the
one in sight. One taste was usually
enough to remind them that it was
the first day of April.
Buck Leavell got off one of the
most amusing sells on Bailey Waller
and John Kitchen, the rival under
takers down In "The Bottom" He
telephoned both of them just before
train time that corpse would arrive
on the o. V. train and that an under
taker was wanted to take charge of
it. Both gentlemen with their as
sistants rushed frartically to the de-
pot and stood watching each other
with jealous eyes until the train pull
ed in and it dawned upon both of
them that they had been sold" As
they returned, a crowd was lying
in wait to give them the usual guy.
Tom Underwood, city editor of the
New Era, got off big lot of bogus
news items and imaginary sensations
on his readers. 1t is something so
unusual for the New Era to have
news in it except on Tuesday and
Friday evenings, that the sells were
readily understood and clearly trans
parent. However, Mr.. Underwood's
account of the death of Col. Moss
back would have done credit to the
late Bill Nye. But for the crowded
condition of our columns, we would
reprint it in order to let the public
get chance to read it.

WORLDS HIGHEST TUNNEL

In Pixies Peak to supply Water.

In Pixies Peak to supply Water.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The highest tunnel i'm the world. II, $50
feet above tidewater, is to be bored by
Chicago contractors through Pixies
Peak mountain, two miles distant from
the Peak proper.
Cripple Creeks rapid growth has led
the people of Colorado Springs, Colo.
to fear that the mining town might ere
long try to turn TO it's own use the
bountiful water supply of Beaver
creek, which twists it's course way up
near the sky line on the mountain.
Colorado Springs now gets its water
from Bear creek, but the place is grow
ing fast, and to insure water for the
future the contract to tunnel the noun
tain and to let Beaver creek through
to augment the Bear creek flow has
been let.
The tunnel which the Chicago men
are to make will run through mile and
a quarter of solid gray granite. as hard
a stone as is known. The work will
start on the east ledge of the noun
tain, 10 miles through to the northwest
side to the rocky bank OF Beaver creek.
The tunnel viii have a pitch of six feet
in every 100 feet, a fact which will in

height of seven feet The body OF
water to which IL viii give egress will
be large enough to form not only a
picturesque fall. but one which will be
little short of grand when the element
OF its height is taken into considera-
ton.
A reservoir will be built at the Beav-
er creek side, and the water will be let
into the tunnel only as IL is needed.
Pixies Peak, distant only two miles
from the tunnel. Is II. I47 feet high. and
the cogwheel road which reaches IL
runs but a short distance from the tun-
mel location. Cripple Greek is only eight
miles away, and the people out in that
section believe that when the tunnel Is
bored the rock taken out will be rich
in gold. They say some of the stun will

retary. The meeting decided that a
brigadier-gener should be appointed at
an early date. Recommendations and in
dorsements will be submitted to Gov.

urged to increase such appropriations
over the amount now provided.

INAUGURATION NOTES.

Governor Johnston was presented to-
day with a rare collection of the most
magnificent chrysanthainums ever seen
in the city Of Montgomery. This floral
gift was rendered by Mesdames A. J..
, Driver and j. Thomas Heflin, of LaFay-
cite, as a token of the esteem in which
he is held by the representative women
of Chambers county. H~F. - r.
Governor Johnston displayed his char
acteristic Judgment and refined taste in
the selection of his staff for this occa-
sion, consisting of three of the most viva
cious, prettiest and brightest girls to be
found anywhere: The governors staff
consists of Misses Mary Johnston, and
Lucille Fitzsmmons, of Birmingham,
and Miss Annie Ermin. Of North Caro-
lima. The admiration bestowed upon this
beautiful trio today and at the ball to-
night was one of the noticeable features
of the occasion.
Mrs. Joseph F. Johnston stood In the
Governors Office with him during the
reception, after the Inauguration, and
shook hands with the friends and admir-
ers of her distinguished husband. The
reception lasted for more than an hour,
during which time congratulations and
words of encouragement were showered
upon the Governor and his wife.
To attempt a personnel of the dstin-
guished visitors upon the exercises today
and whose familiar faces are seen about
the hobbies tonight, would be an under
taking impossible to complete. Every
district, every county, every city, town
and hamlet in Alabama has it's represent
tatives here.
The first official act of Gov. Johnston,
after his Inauguration was the signing
of the commission of United States Sen
ator Pettus.
