BURNETT'S SEAT
 TO BE CONTESTED
Spears, His Fusion Opponent,
 Will AIIege Fraud
WILL APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Irregularities He Claims Occurred in Winston and Several Other Coun- ties-Burnett's Majority Was
 Between HOO and 1900.

It is stated that N. B. Spears, late fusion candidate for Representative in Congress from the Seventh Alabama District, will contest the election of Honorable John l.. Burnett. The election in that district was close, MT. Burnett being elected over MT Spears by only about 1100 majority. The seventh was the only district in the State where the opposition to the Democratic ticket made an active contest, and the big Populst vote there in previous elections created an element of doubt not found elsewhere in the State.
 It is stated that MT Spears will base his contest on alleged frauds said to have been committed al Winston and one or twoeother counties. MT. Spears claims that at one box in Winston he obtained a majority of two hundred, the poll list was stolen and the votes were thrown out by the canvass ing board. He also alleges frauds at the Attalla box, in Etowah County, and at other places in the district. It is claimed by his friends that MT Spears has secured afi1daVits enough to so change the result of the election as to give him a majority of about two hundred and fifty.
 r. The majority for MT. Burnett official ly announced, was between HOO and 1200. It is claimed by MT. Burnett and his cam paign committee that the confuson grow ing out of the names of two Burnetts being on the official ballot cost him nearly 1000 votes in the district. In Cullman County alone 1t cost him nearly three hundred votes. The name of John D. Burnett presidential elector, appeared near the top of the ballot and that of John L. Burnet:, candidate for Congress near the bottom A great many voters made their cross mark in front of the name of the candidate for presidential elector thinking they were vo- ting for the candidate for Congress.
 It is not believed by the Democrats of the Seventh that MT. Spears can make a show ing that will justify the Republicans in Congress to give him the seat to which MT. Burnett has been given the title.

STRAUSS ORCHESTRA.
Engagement Here Will be a Notable
 Event in Musical Circles.

After brilliant concert season of several weeks in New York Eduard Strauss with his Vienna orchestra, started on a South ern tour last month and on Monday night next the famous waltz king will give d concert at the Auditorium. Strauss comes to Birmingham under the auspices of the May Musical Festival Association and there is every promise of a crowded house Seats are now op/sale at the Auditorium box office.
 Not every music lover is educated up to the classic symphonies, but every one lis tens with delight to the Strauss waltzes And if beautiful waltz charms when played by any good band how much more must the Strauss music be enjoyed when played by Strauss own orchestra.
 Eduard Strauss. every one knows is the greatest living master of ball room music; not only the greatest master in waltz composition but the greatest master in the orchestral delivery of this class of composition.
 Theodore Thomas read and conducted Strauss watzes with artistic feeling long before he visited Vienna and listened to the Strauss orchestra but after hearing the composers music by the banks of the beautiful blue Danube-after hearing it played by an orchestra under Strauss leadership-his interpretation of the wakes when he returned to America was like u revelation. Thomas caught the spirit from the master and gave his audiences the benefit of it. But after all, as poetic and skillful conductor as Thomas is he can- not give us the "Emperor Waltz or the Blue Danube Waltz with the same sub tie phrasing or the same graceful rhythm as Strauss himself. It stands to reason
 Strauss did not visit Birmingham when he was In the United States seven years ago, but some of us have heard him In Vienna and many of us heard him in the East on the occasion of his former visit. It is a rare treat, indeed, that Birmingham amusement-goers have in store now, and they will not fail to thank the Musical Festival Association for its enterprise in securing this attraction.

DON'T NEED REST. Starved Nerves Need Food.

A food that will naturally stimulate and nourish man so weak that he cannot feed himself must have intrinsic merit and be worthy the attention of any person with a weak stomach. s. D. Horine of Grinnell, Iowa, writes: By pure food seems to me the true way to get we'll After ions time at one of the best equipped sanitariums, without benefit I was put under a famous doctor who said that did not need rest so much as I needed rich, pure blood, made from pure food, and l was put on Grape Nuts.
 "At that time I had to be lifted frsm my bed Nike baby. This was only few weeks ago. Now I can walk read, write and per- form many little tasks. have not fully re- covered my strength, by any means, b-t I have made a most wonderful progress on Grape-Nuts food. It leads me to the knowl- edge that nervous prostration Is simply nerve starvation. The nerves are prostrated because they are starved. A starved man does not need rest but he needs food.--
 '''To be sure the famished nerves are forced to rest, but rest cannot restore them They can build up on food alone. With my first meal of Grape-N Nuts food I was ftoo weak to feed myself, but after partaking of the food hopeful spirit, almost amounting to buoyancy, possessed me.
 'I can account for the speedy effect of the food on no other ground than that dt is so easily digested that only little time and force is required to prepare it for the blood whereas ordinary food requires so much force to digest it that 1t exhausts what strength weak mai has and leaves the food undigested, ready for decomposi- tion and changes what should be good food into veritable poison. Easy diges- ton and rapid assimilation make Grape Nuts the ideal food for any one"

 Magazine is Here.

Sam IL Ragland circulator of the new magazine, is here.
 Samuel H. Ragland, representing the cir culation department of Smart Set" the magazine is in the city. In all magazine history there has never, perhaps, been a greater success than this publication. When asked about it, Mir. Ragland said, Well, we are no doubt the best advertis- CTS among magazines. Smart Set adver- tisements are to be seen in several hundred of the leading dailies of the country, and everyone knows that advertising pays. Then again, we attend to the circulation in such way that every nook and corner from Maine to California is covered. The principal reason though, of its great suc- cess is that we publish what the public want-we aim to entertain
 Smart Set publishers have recently added to their list of publications charmingly written book called "Nigger Baby and Nine Beasts" by Alma Florence Porter.
