SUGGESTIONS OFFERED TO THE
 COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Favor Primary Plan.

The joint meeting of the executive com- mittee of the German-American union and the Union Label league was held last night in the Turn verein hall in Third avenue.
 There was a full attendance of both conn., mittees. The meeting was an executive one, reporters not being allowed. After the meeting the following resolution, which was adopted, was given out for publica- ton:
 "Whereas, Rumors are afioat that 1t Is the intention of the democratic executive committee to direct convention for the selection of six candidates for the legisla- ture; and,
 Whereas, We believe that the calling of such convention would not be in accord with the spirit of democratic institutions, but that a primary for all officers in this county and state is necessary to secure a full, fail and representative vote in rela- ton to the selection of all candidates and is conducive to the we'll being of all the people of this county: therefore, be 1t
 Resolved That the executive committees of the German-American union and the Union Label League respectfully recom- mend to the democratic executive com mittec that it direct primary for all off, cers to be voted for in this county in the coming election

 Cross examination: have had no espe- cial relations with Ashford until we began to discuss getting up some Alabama field trials. I have never had any direct busi- ness dealings with him We had been talk ing over the field trials project for about year. They are to occur February '. I don't think he has ever traded with me at my store. I was facing southward when the first shot was fired My attention was attracted by the smoke and people rushing dn. Brown came in first. He had no pistol in his hans. He was bent somewhat for ward. I think Ashford had pistol in his left hand. Brown had his back to Ashford, I saw no one running except Brown and Ashford. I didn't see Dr. Henly until he pushing his wife out of the store. The second shot was not fired in the store I saw Brown before I saw the smoke. Ashford and the smoke came in together. I did not see any of the shots fired. Brown had passed Mrs. Moore three or four feet before the firing of the third shot. Brown drew no pistol when he made the attempt. If I remember rightly, Brown caught Mrs. Moore around the waist as he passed. I have never had any conversation with Ashford in regard to this matter. I saw but one pistol. It was Ashford's and staid in the store from that evening uptia the following Monday, when I took 1t to MT. Ashford I examined 1t and saw it had b6sn fired three times There was about twelve people in my store at the time Of the shooting. 1 was not perfectly calm, but was somewhat excited"
 At this point court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning when the cross-exami- nation of MT. Rosenstihl will be resumed.

Favor Convention Plan.

An enthusiastic meeting of the Demo- cratic Bimetallic league of Jefferson divi- sion of beat 21 was held last night at Ma lone's store, on the South Side, and impor- tant business transacted. The question Of holding a convention for the nomination of six candidates for the legislature and to select delegates to the state convention, was discussed and indorsed, as will be seen by the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted:
 'Resolved That it is the sense of the Bimetallic club of Jefferson division of beat 21. that the county executive commit tee at it's approaching meeting should or der primary for the nomination of can didates for the following county offices: Probate judge, circuit clerk and city court judges, and the election of delegates from each beat in the county to a county con vention, said convention to be held for the purpose of nominating six candidates for the legislature and the election of dele gates to the state, chancery and judicial conventions.

THE PARTIES IN GOOD FAITH

The gas committee may meet today. That was Chairman Walter Moores in- tention when he retired last night. Some hitch may come up and it cannot be taken as absolutely certain that the committee will have meeting.
 The committee has been waiting on the parties representing the Pittsburg con- cern, which proposes to furnish Birming- ham gas at $1 per thousand, but it Is very desirous of submitting a report at the next regular council meeting in February.
 Roden Is Worried
 It is expected that the old company will have something to say about proposition when the committee does meet Notwith- standing that nonchalant appearance as- sumed by President Roden at the an- nouncement that Pittsburg parties had de- signs on the Birmingham gas market, it is said that he has been visibly affected. Those familiar with affairs say that he has been communicating with outside par ties and working on a proposition fast and furious. It is possible that he might ask for further time and this the com mittee could hardly refuse.
 Those interested in the matter say that the Pittsburg people are acting in good faith. If the city cannot come to terms with the old company then these parties will step in and supply the city. They have already formulated plans as to the source of supply and are perfectly con- fident that it will be a paying enterprise.
 There will be some surprises if the old company does not do justice by the people. It is settled that the committee will &C., cept nothing but dollar gas and that it will be.

 Near the 100, 1000 Mark.

There has been a large increase in the Birmingham cotton receipts for the past week over those of the preceding week.
 The largest receipts during any one week this season has been about 5000 bales.

The shipments last week were 4.7H bales and the stock on hand is 11,311 bales.

DO YOU DOUBT

That hundreds of cases of Consumption
reported to us as cured by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery were genuine
cases of that dread and fatal disease?
You need not take our word for 1t. They
have, in nearly every instance, been so
pronounced by the best and most eX-
perienced home physicians, who have
no interest whatever in misrepresenting
them, and who were often strongly
prejudiced and advised against trial OF
Golden Medical Discovery" but who
have been forced to confess that It sur
passes, in curative power over this fatal
malady, all other medicines with which
they are acquainted. Nasty cod-liVer oil
had been tried in nearly all these cases
and had either utterly failed to benefit,
or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time.
The photographs Of large number Of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, "sore lungs" asthma,
chronic nasal catarrh and kindred mala-
dies, have been skillfully reproduced in

Northern drown seeds and lice.

There has always been considerable
controversy over the claim that grain
seed as we'll as certain varieties OF fruit
trees when grown in the North were
superior to those grown in the middle or
Southwestern States. Tests have been
made for several years with seeds Of po-
tatOes, wheat, rye and oats and also with
small fruit plants and with cherry, pear
and apple trees with the following re-
suits. For planting In gravelly loan or
sandy loan fruit trees from western New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey showed no advantage, one over the
other, and the same conclusions were
reached with small fruits, though with
strawberry plants there was slight ad-
vantage in the plants obtained nearer
home, due doubtless to the fact that the
plants were received In better condition.
Seed potatoes from northern New
York, wheat seed from Minnesota and
oat seed from Canada gave better re-
suits than the seed Of the same varieties
purchased in sections farther south.
There was less rust In the crop growth
from Canadian seed oats, and the yield
was 20 per cent. more per acre than from
the same variety Of seed grown in the
Southwest, under the same conditions as
to soil and culture. The conclusions
seem to justify the suggestion that the
matter is of sufficient Importance to
every farmer who goes to the market for
trees, plants and seed, and especially the
latter, to make these tests in a limited
way for his own understanding and
profit.
In eastern Kansas It Is found that
northern grown potatoes and oats make
the best seed and yield larger crops, but
northern grown seed corn Is generally
failure in Kansas. Even from Illinois and
Ohio seed corn requires about two sue
cessiVe seasons to get acclimated so as
to yield its best. But trees and fruit
plants Of all kinds grown in Kansas are
better for planting in Kansas than those
grown farther north or east. The fruit
trees from the nurseries around Topeka
are grown in ideal soil, not excelled or
even equaled anywhere else, and many
of their trees are used by eastern nur-
series to supply orders which they can
not fill from their own stock.
