Nineteen Dollars Per Head.

Farmers, did you read this top line?
It means big figures for you if the heads
are numerous enough. It doesn't mean
price, either. It's all profit. I'll. -.
Nineteen dollars per head is the
amount of profit made at the Crookston
sub-experiments station on a carload Of
range cattle which were shipped in
and fed here last fall. The idea was to
determine the facts and if there was
money in it to let the farmers know
about it.-CrOokstOn Times. =.

HE ONCE LIVED IN BESSEMER.
Willie McArthur, We'll Known Here; Paints
 Streak of Red Around St. Louis.

Wine and women oh, Willie Willie!
 William McArthur, who formerly re- sided in Bessemer, and was we'll and favorably known in Birmingham, is un- der arrest in St. Louis on a charge of forgery.
 When Willie lived with his father, who was second vice-president of the Howard-Harrison Iron company, and breathed in morality from the balmy air of Jefferson county, he would have turned up his eyes in pious horror at the bare idea of doing anything naughty, but change of climate seems to have had deleterious effect upon his moral constitution. When his father had a stroke of paralysis in 1894 and removed to Mount Pleasant, H., Willie went with him. It was change for the worse, for Willie has fallen from grace.
 Last Sunday morning he commenced his brief career of sin by going to St. Louis. That was indiscreet, but not wicked. When Willie hired a hack, however and broke the Sabbath by vis- iting various resorts of scarlet women, the devil marked him for his own and took charge of him in female guise and under the sweet name of Tessie.
 The devil, that is to say, Tessie en- tered the hack with Willie and suggested 8 champagne supper. He agreed that that would be awfully sporty, so Tes- sic and he wined up and kept on driv- ing uptil Monday morning, when Tessie had the diamond ring of Willie's sister and Willie was out of funds.
 Draw a check" whispered the devil, or rather Tessie. Willie did, and to make sure of it's being cashed, he signed his fathers name to it. That was such an easy way of getting money that he did it again and again until he was too drunk to write a signature and was landed in 5aiL
 His tempter, Tessie had left him, and Willie cried until tine wine was out of his system. It is believed that his father will take up the checks and Willie will teach the village Sunday school hereaf- ter ill preference to Sabbath-breaking.

THE MINERS ID ORGANIZE
Meeting to Be Held, in This
 City Today. MAY MAKE A STATE ORDER A Contest Promised as to Whether a State Organization Will be Formed or Will
 They Join the National

Seventy y-five miners arc in town today.
 They came from afl over the state in answer to a call issued two weeks ago by the miners committee who audit the operators books. Tins committee is composed Of s. Sweeney, John Lamont and w. R. Fair1ey.
 The question to be considered by the delegates is whether the miners of the state will form a state organization or whether they will join the natioral as- soeiation of United Mine Workers.
 The delegated representation, which will probably prevail today, is one vote to each 100 miners Pratt mines glas IS votes; BTocton 15 votes; Blue Creek II votes; West Pratt votes. It is believed that Cardiff Belle Ellen and other miners will be represented at today's confer ence.
 The meeting will be called at 12 o'clock in BricklaWers' Ham. A chairman will be chosen and the subject entered into at once Whether the session will be public or executive will not be known until tine convention has been organized.
 It is impossible to predict what the probable outcome of the delegates de- Alterations will be. It promises to be close, warm fight, as there are earnest advocates on the ore hand for the state plan, and an equally determined pull on the other for the national organization.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 24.-I1is ex- cellency, Gov Roger Wolcott, of Mas sachusetts, his staff, large party of dis tingulshed citizens, and Mrs. Wolcott were entertained here today and tonight. The party arrived at an early hour and spent the day on the battlefislds. To- night big public reception was being held at the Read house at which several hundred prominent citizens called. There is one "cullud gemman" in the party who came very nearly getting himself in serious trouble. He insisted upon making himself conspicuous in the lobby of ths Read house and the off, cers were compelled to take him in charge several times. He was insolent and none of the party could control him. It is a wonder that he got out of town safely tonight. He left on ths train with the governor and party.

THE COLLEGE STATION FIRE.
Some Property Owners May Rebuild, While
 Others Will Not

The property owners, whose buildings were destroyed at College station Thurs day, are as yet undecided as to whether or mot they will rebuild on the town site. Said AIn Calvin McFall yesterday to a reporter for The Age-Herald:
 ''We are in utter confusion just at present have talked with nearly every ore who loclt by the fire and have heard nobody say they would rebuild. I am like the rest. I can't say just now what I win do If do rebuild I will put up a brick struotures''
 MT. McFall lost three buildings on the west corner near the dummy track. He had TO 5rsurance.
 The Birmingham Underwater Agency will not rebuild, butt will settle claims against their companies with the cash.
 The Building and Loan associaIUtion will take 'thcir money in cash also and will not rebuild.

TALK ABOUT THE USURERS
Attorney c. B. Powell Gives His
 Opinion. aI
WHOLESOME LAWS NEEDED
ignorant Negroes Mostly the Unfortunate Victims, and, According to Mir. Powe
 Pay Their Loans Over and Over.

In the opinion of a great many persons there is urgent need of some city ordin- ance restricting the usurious practices of some half a dozsn money sharks in but some case involving or arising out of the greed of a usurer is brought befo1e the courts.
 Much to the credit of Judge Feag.n, that whsn such. case come before him he takes the part of the oppressed and checks the oppressor.
 Attorney c. B. Powell who has an of lice at No. 21S1s north Twenty-first street. has interested himself consider ably in the cause of the poor ignorant victims, said to an Age-Herald reporter yesterday: ''rhere are six or seven men en the caty engaged in loaning small sums upon furniture. Some of them although their rates of interest are rath- CT high, do legitimate business, but the others hesitate at nothing. They will loan a negro some small sum, gen. orally about $5. and take from him bill of sale of his furniture. In such a case the nota generally calls for $7, and is made payable in two weeks. Tn that time the borrower pays $2 and is then required to execute another note for $7, same terms as before. Thus the poor fool becomes a perpetual payer of $1 a week for a loan of $5.
 "It is not to the interest of the usurer, nor is 1t his desire thaIt the principal should be repaid and the victim escape from his clutches. I have known cases wherein it has dlawned upon the debtor that he has repaid the loan over and over again, and he has then refused to be bled any longer In such cases the lender has threatened Ito have the negro arrested upon some charge and has thus coerced him into continued indebtedness. Sometimes oblurate debtors have been arrested. I recollect one case in which woman had four separate charges made against her, but Judge Feagln dismissed them an. ss
 "One very bad feature of the business is that it interferes with the legitimate business of the installment houses. The sharks will knowingly loan money on furniture bought from installment houses and unpaid for figuring that with their knowledge of the illegal act of the ne groes they can teu'rorize them into pro- tracted payments of interest and also that If the negroes cease paying the in- terest they can seize the furniture un- der the bin of sale and dispose of it bs- fore the installment fouses are aware of the transaction. This is often done.
 Taken all in all, ahe system is very bad one and the city authorities would do we'll to take steps to regulate and control it. If the business men of Bir- mingham were fully acquainted with all the practices of the usurers. they would at once agitate against them"

ATLANTA UNDER THE BAN
Quarantine Established Against
 GeOrgia's Capital.
STRICT GUARD OVER TRAINS
Chief Executive Officer Amerine Promugates New Rules About Strict Fumiga-
 ton of All Railway Trains.

Alabama has quanantined against Att lanta.
 The order was issued yesterday by State Quarantine Officer Amerne.
 The quarantine against Atlanta was due to case of yellow fever which and the quarantine operates against passengers and freight from Atlanta as rigldly as it doss against any fever i'm fected point.
 Seventeen passengers coming in from Atlanta yesterday were sent back from Chocolosso. Hereafter trains on the Southern road from the Gate City will meet near the state line and those pas lsengers who can enter this state under the quarantine regulations will be trans ferred and brought in. while the At danta train with it's crew will be sent back.
 I The mail will be fumigated like the mail from Mobile, New Oileans or Ed wards.
 The following additional rules touching Immigration and the sale of tickets have been issusd by Capt. Amerine, chief executive quarantine officer:
 All railway cars of every description that have been in any infected place must be thoroughly fumigated inside and outside with sulphur, and cleansed before such cars are operated in local state traffic or allowed to receive and discharge any freight of any kind what soever at any point within the state limits.
 To fumigate a. car, no less than five pounds of sulphur should b. burned in- side of it. with doors closed, and req sonable amount of sulphur also burned underneath the cars. The Immigration of cars must be done outside of any place infected with yellow fever.
 All passengers and baggage coming into the state of Alabama through any infected place will be considered and treated the same as if they were imme- diately from such infected place. It is suggested that all connecting rail- road lines prevent tickets being sold that would route passengers through infected points.

him to do so.
 Just at present he thinks Attalla the most desirable abiding place on the face of this earth. simply because to him it is unattainable Like the Wandering Jew, he must go hither and thither; not whither he would.
 Last Wednesday he spent an hour in Atlanta, that greedy cormorant which was willing to endanger It's own chil- dren for the sake of gain. Last night he essayed to visit Birmingham on busi- ness and found an angel with a flaming sword at the gate in the form of Quar- antine Officer Wiggins.
 Alexander had been in Atlanta, so he could not rest h.s ample frame within Alabama, although this is the state which is proud to own him. So he had to go on to Meridian, whence he will bs started back north. He cannot stay in Chattanooga and it is sad to think how far he may have to go north. The probabilities are that he will have to stay on that drain and ride up and down the road for eight days.
 Also on the train was John L.. Cahill, a merchant of New Orleans. He was locked in a sleeper. He was return ing to New Orleans, where his family are. Five days ago in a fit of fear he Jumped on a train and left the Gre scent City for Cincinnati.
 There his conscience smote him for deserting his family and so he returned. This yellow fever scare is productive of many queer incidents.

HE LOST HIS GRIP.
Weather Guesser Jacobs Moans the Loss of
 the Cold Wave.

Weather Prophet Ben M, Jacobs is like Rachel, weeping for her children, who would not be comforted." Thursday night he took his Klondike cold wave to his room with him. being solcitous for its safety. He left his window open, however, and thinks the cold wave must have slipped away during the night. When he awoke yesterday morning and discovered his loss he could hardly eat his breakfast for vexation.
 At 8 a. m the mercury had only climb ed to the 75 degree notch, so the weather manufacturer took heart again and es- saved to conjure his lost wave back. To his elevated post he climbed and there indulged in wild incantations and gesticulated until he frightened an old farmer out of town. The farmer was busily engaged in shopping when he caught sight of Jacobs on the roof, and he immediately exclaimed: ''See them flags and that feller He's warming us agin yeller fever and I'm going home" z Some captious partisans insinuated when the temperature reached 92 degrees that Mark Hanna had wired the weather man to hide the cold wave and let the lheat make democrats more liable to die from fever but Nfr. Jacobs denSes this. He promises to give Birmingham some more cool weather if he has to pay his Klondike friend for it, and says he Is not to blame for the action of his instru- ments, which registered yesterday as fol- lows:
