DEMAND LARGER
 FIRE DEPARTMENT And Believe That of the Great
 est Importance. THE BOARD OF TRADE WORK All the Evening in Considering This Qrejtion ot Vital Interest to Bir-
 mingham, and Adopt Reso.u-
 tions, One Endorsing Chiet
THE BOARD OF TRADE WORK

The Board of Trade last night adopted resolution urging upon the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of Birmingham the necessity of increasing the present force of the fire department. Two new stations were rec commended, and the Council was asked to retain J. T. Mullin as chief of the depart ment.
 The Board of Trade also started a sub scriptions among members for the help of the storm sufferers of Galveston, and within a few minutes $60 was raised. This will be increased today.
 Almost the entire time of the meeting was taken up in discussing the question of larger fire department, and during the debate very unpleasant and greatly re- gretted incident occurred. Captain John G. Smith and W. B. Leedy had been invited to address the meeting, but on account of misunderstanding of some of the members the addresses were interrupted and the visitors begged to be excused and left the hall. It is understood that the necessary apologies will be made this morning. Every member of the board expressed great re- gret at the apparent discourtesy to the guests, stating that such was not intended.
 The following resolution offered by MT. Rotholz was adopted
 Resolved, That the Board of Trade of Birmingham respectfully urge upon the Mayor and Board of Aldermen that they provide such additional fire stations in the city as will give adequate protection to the property of the citizens. The Board of Trade believes the city should have a new city nall, but deems the enlargement of the ire department of greater importance"
 The following resolution by Mir Rotholz was also adopted
 Whereas, Chief of the Fire Department J. T. Mullins has made an able and efficient officer, maintaining that service of the city in condition of excellence not exceeded by that of any city of similar size and im- portance in the country; and,
 Whereas, Chief Mullin has been ex- onerated of the charges of misconduct in the administration of his office; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the Board of Mayor and Aldermen be and they are hereby requested and urged to retain Chief Mullin in the present position at the head of the Fire De- partment.'
 A vote of thanks was extended Mir Greene for keeping open the receiving de- partment of the Southern Railway freight depot during the entire day, and the meet ing adjourned.

 Two bankruptcy petitions were filed. Ons was by Henry Streeter, who has no assets and owes few hundred dollars; the other by James B. Smiley who has assets of $90 and debts of $13,OO2. 45. The largest liability is debt due Miss Lizzie Slender for $5OOO on verdict recovered by her in the city court on a suit for breach of promise. Smiley did not contest the suit, and the Judgment, in all probability, will soon be a thing of the past.

THE BUSY BURGLARS
 ON THEIR ROUNDS Robbing Houses in the Accus- toned Manner and With
 the Usual Daring.

Burglars are busy. Yesterday several houses were entered and robbed. The rob bery of a store in Twentieth street yester- day morning must have been the signal for operations to begin anew, for within twelve hours thereafter three more burg laries were reported to the police.
 Yesterday morning the home of J. U. Hardeman. at Twenty-seventh street and Avenue G, was entered by thieves, and when MT. Hadreman returned to his home his gold watch, revolver and razor were missing. The next home to suffer was that of pr. Moore 731 Twentieth street, South. A tramp walked into the open hall and after asking for something to eat quietly left the house with the doctors trousers and a pair of stretchers in his possession.
 The next case reported to the police was by MT. Lawson, who lives at Fourth ave- nue and Twenty-second street. His trunk had been broken into and $55 was missing.
 So far no trace of the burglars has been found.

With this, the last issue of the Review
which Will 60 to our readers before ~elec-
ton, we wish to sound note of warn
ing. There are unscrupulous and trick
politicians in every locality and Brown
county is no exception. So far at least
as the county ticket is concerned the re-
publican party of this county has become
desperate. Viewing with alarm the al
most absolute certainty of the defeat of
the entire county ticket and regardless
of their pledges to conduct clean and
open campaign 1t is rapidly becoming
evident that the assurances given by the
managers of the campaign are worthless
and unworthy of credence. The Review
has steadfastly and conscientiously re-
fraigned from personalities and will con-
tinue to do so until the close of the cam
paign, but we desire particularly to call
The attention of the voters of the county
to the indications that are now bccom-
ing apparent. 1t has come to our notice
through absolutely reliable sources that
it is the intention of certain republican
newspapers of the county to at the last
moment, when too late for denial or
disproval, spring, either by way of d.
rect charge or implication, certain SEN
sational charges against fusion candi-
dates with tho direct and unmlstakable
intention Of misleading the voters.
Watch out for them, and bear in mind
that if such charges were true they
would have been made public before the
eleventh hour. ..y..z 49,. ....... ,c.-

The Sleepy Eye Dispatch goes into
Mysteries because the fusion forces held
meeting III one of the country towns
on Sunday. Right or wrong, the Dis
patch's spasm Of virtue comes rather
late. 1t forgets that this is just exactly
what the republicans have done IN form
er campaigns, even going so far as to
hold Sunday meeting which was ad-
dressed by Col. Ledegerber, one of the
most prominent of that partys olators
this year. A good memory is an excel
lent thing, but in politics good forget
terry is equally convenient. You'll have

The Minneapolis Tribune evidently
thinks that there is no further need of
assembling and openly in its editorial
calumns speaks of s'our colonial govern

of the Tribune who will cling to the
notion that the administration does not
intend to abrogate the constitution of
the United States and occupy the Phil
ipplnes as a colony.

"Vote the straight ticket" is the prin-

republicans it should be good enough
for democrats and is commended To ali
such as may have an inclination to vote
for some one on the other side because
he is "good fellow" If you are par

August L. Matter, the fusion candi-
date for sheriff, needs no introduction
to the people of Brown county, the very
handsome majority which he received
two years ago fully testifying to his
popularity, He has, during the present
term, proved himself to be a most faith
full and efficient officer. Every one con-
nected with the district court Of Brown
county stands ready to give Mr.. Matter
a testimonial for his faithfullness and
competency and there can certainly be
no real cause for his removal from office
at this time. The Review believes that
he should and will be re elected.

The evidence is at hand that trespass-
ers have already this season stolen near
ly six mili1on feet Of pine logs from
school and other state lands in the north
ern part of the state. State Auditor Dunn
says that he knows nothing about it, but
that he will investigate. Last year the
state auditor had several cruisers at work
in that locality and fines to the amount
of between ten and fifteen thousand dol
lars were collected, but this year Mr..
Dunn only promises to "lnvestigate." :"
Perhaps he will, but you can bet your
sweet life it will not be doue until after
election. Possibly the fact that nearly
all of the lumber barons of the state are
and supporters of Mr.. Dunn
has nothing to do with the case, but the
public Is at liberty to draw its own con-
clusions.

Since the republican party surrend-
cred to the sugar and tobacco trusts and
put tax on Porto Rico, thus commit
ting crime no less than the tories of
England did III their stamp act against
the colonies, and furnishing the glaring
example of imperialism for this cam
palgn, the spellbindcrs sent out by Mark
Hanna have been unable to convince the
public that the present administration
is against tlusts. They have now about
given up trying, and have, under Han
mas inspiration, taken another track and
are rather inclined to ridicule the talk
about trusts. Really this is one Of the
greatest issues. That the trusts, which
are filling their own dinner pail, at the
expense of consumers, fear democratic
success, is shown by their handsome con-
tributions to Hanna's funds.
Watch the way they vote and vote
against them.
