EBENSTEINER-In this city on
Tuesday night at IL O'Clock, Joseph
Ebenstiner, aged IS years.


Deceased was a well-known charac-
ter in Sank Centre, man Of marked
individuality, kindly of disposition,
and without any enemy in the world:
He was born in Austria and came to
this country in 1856, and settled in the
township of Lake George on claim
Two years latter he abandoned it and
took q place at Pescheck's Grove in
the township of Getty, now occupied
by his sister Mrs. Berns.. He occu-
pied this place of 200 acres for eight
years and was successful farmer.
In 1866 he come to the city and bought
the property now known as the Ger
mania House, built upon it and occu
pied it as hotel. In this venture he
was not successful. His generous ma
ture was imposed upon. and no one
was improvident and easily imposed
upon by designing ones, and became
the victim of scores who were willing
TO take advantage of his charitable
disposition. In the course of time he
lost his property, and for years has
earned a precarious living by draying
and doing odd jobs, He served the
city as pound for number of
years.
Yes! Poor Old Joe! Everybody
felt kindly toward him, and he had
eyer pleasant word for all. His
weaknesses were overlooked, and his
good traits-and he had many of them
were and will be held in memory.
He will be missed from our streets, for
hiswas a CONSPICUOUS and picturesque
figure long to be remembered.
Three sons survive him, Joseph,

 Record Breaker

SUCCESS ALREADY ASSURED

The Street Fair which begins next Mon the attendance will be large and the fair a complete success in every particular. A large number of attractive features have been secured by the Elks and they will leave nothing undone that tends to add interest to the carnival
 The Eks are busy arranging the details of the carnival which promises to be a record breaker. Second avenue, below Eighteenth street, is beginning to take on the appearance of an exposition site, the contractors having already put up the frame work of the structures and entrance way.
 Among the attractions which they will offer will be found the international trained wild animal show which includes trained animals of almost every species from the jungles of India and the wilds of Asia, and the rugged fastnesses of the Rocky mountains. The Albino Siberian lion is the largest lion ever captured and imported to this country.
 The Moorish theater, which the commit tee has secured, will prove one of the InOSl interesting ana mover features or the fair In this theater will be reproduced the Moorish or Egyptian marriage scene, requiring in addition to the contracting parties, ten other persons who take part and are interested in the ceremony. All the people connected with this theater are genuine oriental people and were brought to this country for the Omaha exposition. Since the Omaha exposition they have been giving high class vaudeville on the Pacific coast and after leaving here will return direct to their native land
 The theater containing the congress of dancing girls will also be an attractive place. Here will be reproduced the na- tional dances of several different nations, namely, the French dancing girl, the Alge- rian, the Buddhism and the Burmese, all representing the highest perfection of wo- manly grace and beauty; but the Streets of India will probably be more attractive than all of the other places. The entrance to the Streets of India will be from the Midway through a massive doorway, which will be a reproduction of one of the most ancient temples of Buddha. In order to reproduce the Streets of India as it will be shown here, it requires five carloads of scenery two carloads of costumes and paraphernalia, well as two elephants, three camels, twenty sacred donkeys and over 100 people, who are with the excep- tion of the vaudeville stars and managers, all Oriental people. In connection. with this it might be said that the committee in engaging the different theaters. has also contracted for the erection of suitable en- frances to the same, all characteristic of the attractions given in the theater.

Averse to Interviews

Colonel Stamford was not asked to ex- press himself concerning any public or po- litical questions; his aversion to interviews for publication being well known.
 The state democratic executive committee has been called to meet in Birmingham on Friday, May IS. The names of the men who will constitute the campaign commit tee will be submitted to the executive com mittee by Chairman Lowe, under authoriz- alIon of the committee itself, and the special committee appointed to select a secretary will probably report
 MT. Lowe will not, it is understood, con- duct the campaign; but a campaign com mittee chairman will be appointed. Who such chairman shall be has not yet been determined upon. MT. Lowe feels that his work, past and to come, as chairman of the state executive committee and Jefferson county executive committee makes it need full that a chairman of campaign committee be appointed.

The duties of the governorship are more ex- acting now than they were even a dozen years ago. The state is greater, and greater questions have to be dealt with.''
 Some one yentured to refer to the wisdom and eloquence of Colonel Samford's speech of acceptance, and the remarkable popular approval of his nomination.
 That is very pleasing to me-" Colonel Sanford said. "As for my speech, it was without formal preparation. I did not know that I would be called upon to speak, and therefore did not burden myself with preparing a speech of acceptance. had not set my heart on the honor I sought, and so I could accept it with a measure of calmness.

Hon. William J. Sanford, democratic nominee for governor, is at the Morris. He arrived from Opelika on the Central of Georgia train at 7:3O o'clock last night, and will probably remain here during to- day.
 He came here to consult with Hon. Rob- ert J. Lowe, chairman of the state demo- cratic executive committee, and Hon. John V. Smith of Russell, manager of his recent canvass for the gubernatorial nomi- nation. He was received at the union passenger station by MT. Lowe, MT Smith, Senator Jones G. Moore of Bibb, and MT. W. H. Thomas of Montgomery, who con- ducted him to his hotel.
 Colonel Samford's coming was unknown except to the friends who met him; and there was therefore no sort of public demonstration. After supper at the Nor ris cafe he and Chairman Lowe and MT. Smith held a private consultation.
 The distinguished nominee for the gov ernorship appeared to be in perfect health, and declared that he was quite well. To a friend whom he had not seen for some years, he made a kind remark which the happiness of hearing Colonel Sanford accept the nomination for the governor ship.
