CONTRACT SIGNED
 WITH STEINER BROS.
Will Negotiate Exchange of City
 Bonds for Interest Coupons.
NO OTHER BIDS RECEIVED
Several Outside Brokers Wanted Chance But Were Not Prepared to Make Ofer-Chapter from City's
 Financial History

Tomorrow the city of Birmingham, through it's authorized agent will hand to Steiner Brothers, Of this city 269 SO-year 5 per cent gold bonds of the par value of $l,0O0 each, and will receive in return inter- est coupons to the amount of s269,000 This transaction was authorized by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of Birmingham in certain ordinances and resolutions recent ly adopted.
 The contract under which Steiner Broth CTS take this issue of bonds stipulates that they shall secure and turn over to Birmingham $50,0O0 of and per cent school and sanitary bonds, accepting therefor an equal amount of 5 per cent bonds.
 The time for receiving bids for the new issue of bonds expired at noon yesterday under a resolution adopted by the City Council, but during the day Mayor Dren- nen received a telegram from Spitzer & Co.,, of Toledo, Ohio, and also from their representative, w. D. Barnett, saying that the latter would arrive in the city at 4:3O p. m., and asking that the contract for the bonds be not signed until his arrival. In compliance with this request the time was extended until 5:30 o'clock.
 Mr. Barrett arrived on the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham train at 4:30, and immediately thereafter had short conference with the Mayor, at the conclu- sion of which he stated that he was not ready to submit bid for the bonds. This ended all negotiations, and Mayor Drennen, in accordance with the resolution adopted hu ba yTb1IrcdaV pipht Sippp6 the contract with Steiner Bros.
 The $269, ,000 of interest coupons have been accommodating since 1895, and represent half the interest charges against the city for that period. In the spring of 1895 the Mayor and Aldermen realized that it would be impossible for the city to take up it's interest coupons as they fell due and main- tain its police, fire and school systems and meet other current expenses. Negotiations were opened with the bondholders, and finally resulted in an agreemnt whreby they were to retain half the interest cou- pons for a period of five years from the date of the agreement and that the city should take up and cancel the other half. Ihe annual interest on the city's bonded debt aggregated about $95000.
 The terms of the new contract with Steiner Brothers include a proviso that they shall redeem for the city $3O,0 ,0eO of per cent and $2O,0O0 of per cent. bonds and accept in exchange therefor $50,000 of per cent. bonds. This, it is stated, will save the city s10,50O in the matter of inter- est Steiner Brothers also undertake to place $50,000 of 5 per cent. bonds for new school buildings and $150,0OO of the same proposed issue for city hall and jail building.

SOUTHERN GIRL
Visiting Friends in Knoxville.

q had been greatly troubled by being kept awake at night whenever I drank cof- fee. It also disagreed with my digestion Last summer I was visiting a friend in Knoxville who had been suffering from rheumatism, caused by coffee drinking. She had quit using coffee and was using Postum and had recovered; also her delicate daugh- ter who had been an invalid for a long time, was greatly benefited by the use of Postum Food Coffee.
 'I found while I was there and us ing Postum regularly that slept much bet ter and grew so strong in my nerves that the change was wonderful. I trust my tes- timonial will be the means of inducing others to try your magnificent beverage These are true and honest facts" Miss Frances Smith, 632 Douglas street, Chatta- nooga, Tenn.
 The reason Miss Smith and her friends improved in health, is that coffee acts as a poison on many delicate organisms. When it is left off, the cause of the trouble Is removed then if P0stum Food Coffee is taken, there is direct and quick rebuilding of the nerve centers all through the body, for Postum Food Coffee contains the ele- ments needed by the system to rebuild the nerve centers.
 Made at the pure food factories of the Postum Cereal O.. Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich, and sold by all first-class grocers.

MAKING BONDS FOR
 PUBLIC OFFICIALS
United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. Now Writing Nearly S1,0Oo,ooO or These
 Bonds Throug h Birmingham Office.

The United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company through Louis " Clark x Co.,, it's general agents with headquarters Tn this city, is now writing bonds aggregating nearly million dollars for the various pub lie officials who were elected last Monday Applications for bonds both from this and from many other counties are being re- ceived at the Birmingham office by every mail and before September l Louis V. Clark & Co.'S. business will have passed Tar beyond the million dollar mark.
 Yesterday the official count of Mondays election was made in every county ill the State and the successful candidates notl- fled of their election. They have fifteen days from yesterday, or until August 26, within which to file their bonds. Hill Fer guson who is in charge of the bond depart ment for Louis V. Clark & Co, is giving his entire time to this business, and in thls way the bonds are executed with little or no delay. He urges. however, that all ap- plica tions be sent in za-~early as possible as the time for filing bonds is very llm- ited.
 The old style custom Of 1mportunlng friends to become ones bondsmen Is rap idly becoming obsolete. Public officials of all persons recognize that they must go in office as free as possible from heavy per sonal obligations such as they always incur when friends make their bonds. The small amount of money which an officials pays the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company for signing his bond is money well invested.

MEETING WITH ENCOURAGEMENT Movement to Build a Pythian
 Home in Birmingham COMMITTEE ISSUES APPEAL Calls Upon Members of the Order to Assist in the Laucrole Cause,
 Which Will Mean Much for
 Fythianism in Alabama
COMMITTEE ISSUES APPEAL

The movement to build a Pythian home in this city is meeting with the hearty CO., operation and approval of Pythians in all sections of the State, and 1t is believed that ere long a temple worthy of the order will proudly rear it's head among the new buildings of Birmingham.
 The committee appointed to secure sub, scriptions to the capital stock of a stock company, to be organized for the purpose of building the home, have issued the fol- lowing appeal to the members of the order.
 Brother Knights: It is indeed pleas ure to every Pythian Knight to note the magnificent growth of our beloved order throughout the grand domain of Alabama. Standing foremost in the ranks of frater nal orders, it is the pride of all Pythians.
 'We shouil establish it's permanency in our midst, so that Birmingham will ever be known as the Capital of Pythianism' in Alabama.
 Proud of our order we are, we should show pride in a manner commensurate with that earnestness which should prompt every Brother Knight to respond to the advancement of the fraternity.
 "There can be no doubt that Birmingham should guard the portals of a castle hall dedicated to our noble order. Pythian home for every Knight. home for the Grand Lodge of Alabama. This alone should prompt a most hearty response throughout the State.
 While this appeal is made in the interest of Pythiansm, it carries with it the most careful business consideration, and the plan upon which it is to be secured does not mean donation. On the contrary, every subscriber will be an investor in a solid business institution. managed and con trolled by officers elected by them. With this explanation, we trust to have the hearty cooperation of every member of the order throughout the State.
 This movement was begun but two weeks ago, and was revived at a meeting of Jefferson Valley Lodge No Il, at which time committee was appointed to formu- late a plan of action. It has been heartily concurred in by other lodges in the city and Birmingham will come to the front lib- erally. COMMITTEE"
