defendant could not be sentenced for the cost of his own witnesse and for the clerks and sheriff's fees for serving subpoenas to defendants witnesses He says that this rule would apply to jail fees. In other words, confession of judgment includes only that cost for which defendant could be sentenced in case of his failure to secure the fine and cost.
 Judge Purifoy holds, on the other hand, that when defendant confessed judgment he confessed for the full amount of the costs, including jail fees, and his sureties can be held for it.
 Judge Purifoy then casually remarked that Clerk of the Criminal Court Burgin would be responsible for all jail fees of this kind that had not been collected. Then MT. Burgin began to get really interested, for he had not collected them In soma time.
 In addition to this, his books are to be inspected in a few weeks by Inspector Purifoy. MT. Burgin began to get really alarmed.
 He picked out one from among the nu- merous case of this kind which he had, and 1t will be sent to the supreme court at once for decision. The matter will be rushed and a strong effort will be made to get tho decision on the case rendered before MT. Burgin's hair turns entirely gray.

Mcclellan the Man
That Cleveland Beat Meeting

In this connection the story of the demo- cratic mass meeting in Cleveland beat last Friday night will prove quite interesting
 The night before the bi-metallc club of that beat met and put out set of nomi- nees. On Friday night democratic mass meeting was called and another set was put out At the time it was said that these rival delegations were put out In favor of Hehin and Green, respectively. the can didates for the office of county solicitor.
 But it Is now gossipped that there was "ineide" to this second meeting. As 1t hap pened three of the five members of the nominating committee of the meeting were Coleman men. They didn't dare make a majority of the ticket Coleman men, but they did put on four of his supporters.
 Now 1t is argued that if 1t had been a Green meeting J. M. Meighan and Mel Drennen, two of Greens best friends, would have been put on. But as they were both strong Mcclellan men the nominating committee realized, it Is said, that to an- point them they would have to force off of the ticket two Coleman men. This they wouldn't didn't do.
 It was also rumored in Birmingham last night that the Lipscomb-Coeman people in Bessemer had patched up their differ ences with the delegates nominated by the bi-metallic club, and all was now harmoni- ous. It is not known what the compro- mise was.

The proposed plan is to have two or three more lectures this spring and the others next fall and winter.
 The success of the lyceum last winter prompts its officers to keep the enterprise going if the members SO desire. When 1t was organized last fall ten lectures were promised, but eleven were given.
