Tranafer at Five PoInts

The Birmingham Railway and Electric company yesterday completed the connec- ton between their line in Eleventh avenue, south, with the Twentieth street line, the switch having been put in at Five Points. For day two the Eleventh avenue cars have been running up to the Twentieth street line and transferring its passengers there instead of at Nineteenth street, which is considered a very great improvement by tn rsidnts of the Eleventh avenue district. For the present, however, the Eleventh avenue cars will not run in to the city, but will continue to transfer its passengers at Five Points, as it has been doing the last two days. The company intends originally to alternate the cars on the Twentieth street line, running one car down Eleventh avenue, and continuing the other up Twentieth street.

SHELTON MISSING.
Was Supposed to be in Hospital Corps
 at Savannah.

As stated in yesterdays Age-Herald, Colonel Higdon has obtained an order from the war department directing that the twenty-five men of the First Alabama who were army corps be released
 A telegram was sent immediately to one of these nurses, Leon Shelton, formerly of Company G, who was supposed to be with his division in Savannah. He was in structed to notify all the other nurses for mely of the First Alabama of their dis charge. But the telegrams came back, saying that Shelton was not in Savannah. Neither was he at Jacksonville. Shelton S relatives in this city say they have been able to hear nothing rom him in some time. Since the telegrams were sent him, Colonel Higdon has left the city, and it is probable that nothing can be done until he returns at the end of the week.

NEW BUILDING
 IN NINETEENTH
Loveman, Joseph & Loeb Will
 Increase Their Stores.
SMITH BLOCK WILL BE RAZED
In Its Place Will be Erected Four Story Building to Correspond With the Present Home
  of the Firm.

The dry goods firm of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, of this city, propose to tear down the Smith block, on the corner of Nine teenth street and Third avenue, which ad- joins their present store in Nineteenth street, between Second and Third avenues, and in it's place they will erect big four story building, an exact counterpart of their present store.
 It has been known for some time that this progressive firm intended increasing the capacity of their store to a very large extent by throwing all of the stores on the ground floor of the Smith block into one, and also connecting it with the ground floor of their present store. But instead they have decided to tear down the whole three stories of the Smith block, which they own, and erecting in its place the mammoth four-story building described.
 The new building will front eighty feet in Nineteenth street, and will run back 2OO feet in Third avenue. The building which they now occupy fronts eighty feet In Nineteenth street and runs back 200 feet on the alley. The whole north side of their present building will be practically re- moved, and the two buildings thrown in one. This will make structure of four big floors, 140x2O0 feet in size; in other words, the largest dry goods store in the south.
 When asked as to the correctness of the report that his firm would make these ex- tensive improvements. M. V. Joseph, who is known as one of the most progressive of Birmingham's citizens, admitted that they were true.
 q can't say just when the work will be- gin," said he, "but we are having the plans drawn now and as soon as 1t is possible to do so, we will begin the work. It is true we already have the largest dry goods store in the state, but it is not as com plete as we want it. Greater Birmingham is growing too fast for us to remain stand ing still, and it is to supply the demands of this great district that we are making such a big increase in our building. We will not go into the department store business, but will confine ourselves strictly to our present line.
 sThe new buildings will be equipped with the most modern appliances in every par ticular. The ventilation and light will be perfect There will be four passenger ele- vators, instead of one, as we now hove. We will have the pneumatic tube cash sys- tenn, which is one of the best features of modern stores, well as many other inn provements.'

JUMPED STRADDLE
 OF MAJ. CULVER Dairymen Want 0leomargerine
 Law Enforced. ANNUAL STATE MEETING
Association Elected Officers and Select ed Montgomery as the Next Meet ing Place Interesting Lecture .
 On the Cow by pr. Carey.

The state Dairymen's association met in hall, and besides the transaction of routine and special business, administered a strong rebuke to State Commissioner of Agricul- ture Culver for his alleged lethargy in en- forcing the anti-oleomargarine law.
 The rebuke was administered in the form of resolution, which was introduced by H. A. Padgett, of Mobile, and which was unanimously adopted, as follows:
 Whereas, The commissioner of agricul- ture has permitted the anti-oleomargarine law, after being on the statute books for nearly two years, to be openly violated in the principal cities of the state. In only one instance that we have any knowledge of has he made any effort to indict the parties charged with it's violation, and
 Whereas, the dairymen, through their president have appealed to him time and tinfe again for the rigid enforcement of this bill, he having the authority and means at his command. has shown an utter indif- ference to do so. Therefore, be 1t
 Resolved That we, the dairymen of Alabama, in convention assembled, do com- plain and censure the said commissioner for this lack of zeal and effort in our be- half, and ask and demand that he no longer fold his hands and sleep over our interests"
 The meeting was presided over by Presi- dent Isaac Ross, of Opelika, Vice-Presi- dent J. c. Drake, of Birmingham, and Secretary and Treasurler F. H. Bates, of Hamburg, together with a good represen- tation of the membership, were present
 Secretary Creswell in submitting the re- port of the Jefferson county association said that the enforcement of the oleomar- garine law was primarily in the hands of the state commissioner of agriculture, who secured evidence and presented it to the solicitors for prosecution. He told of local cases, and said that summons were now out for the attendance at court here on the 18th instant. He said that he had been informed that the law on the matter was to be attacked, that is the constitutionality of the law was to be fought
 The afternoon session was devoted to the election of officers and to hearing an inter- esting lecture by Dr. Carey on "The Cow" The lecture was illustrated with plates and drawing and was given marked attention by the dairymen.
 Officers were elected as follows:
 President-Isaac Ross, of Openka.
 vice-president-J. c. Drake, of Birming- ham.
 Secretary and treasurer-F. H. Bates, of Hamburg.
 Montgomery was selected as the next place of meeting, and after short night session the association adjourned.

A large audience heard the lecture of Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, the distinguished Baptist divine, on Courage and It's Counterfeits" at East Lake last night.
 Dr. Hawthorne is a splendid speaker, and his powers of elucidation are superb. His subject was apt and was handled in a scholarly and yet perfectly common sense manner.
 It was given for church purposes, and was a success from this standpoint.

A Milk White Flag

Hoyt's "A Milk White Fag' is claimed to be broader, denser deeper and more hilarious in it's satire than any of the other characteristic creations of the great American fun-maker.
 The company is large one, and two cars are required to transport 1t and the stage accessories. The feature of the production is said to be Mary Marble as "The Orphan" She is described as being as dainty piece of femininity will grace the stage in many a day, and her speciality work is of the catchiest and brightest imaginable. The girls (and Hoyt play without girls Is impossible), are young, bright, shapely and winsome to a charming degree. They are full of vivacity, and the way they set the merry pace is refreshing. "A Milk White Flag" comes to O'Briens opera house Mon- day night.
