Extensive Preparations for an Ex- hibit at St. Louis Are AL
 ready Under Why.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 5.-Ala. bama will be represented at the Louisiana Purchase exposition to be held at St. Louis. Commissioner ot Agriculture E. R. Poole is very much elated over the success of the exhibit he made at Buffalo, on which he ex. pended only 5000, and which received more medals and honorable mentions than the exhibit of any southern state. Mir. Poole will preserve the nonperishable portions of the Butfa. la exhibit as the basis of his dis play at St. Louis. He says:
 We will spend S1o,o00 on the Louis. jana Purchase display, and with ths articles we have in hand to start on we will be able 10 mak ten times the show we had at Buffalo. Our exhibi. there was small, but for genuine mer. it as showing the resources of the state l do not yield the palm to any state, north or suoth. We will b. on the lookout from now until tn. time comes for new articles for our display"
 Under the new constitution, Mr Poole will be commissioner of indus tries as well as of agriculture, and the scope of the St. Louis exhibit will be correspondingly widened.

Four White Women Serving Time in the Penitentiary Pardoned
 By Gov. Davis.
OCCURRENCES OF 4 WEEK BRIEFLY STATED
City Marshal of Prescott Shot and Killed By a Desperate Negro-serious Wreck on the Fort smith Road--Two .,urdor. CTS to Be Hanged.
Four Women Pardoned

Lucille Blackburn, Willie Collins Ethel Raymond and Nellie Wing. four white women serving terms in the pen- itentiary, have been pardoned by Gov ernor Davis, who says their incarcera- tien in the penitentiary is a public nuisance, and that he chose pardoning them as lesser of the two evils. All were inmates of Fort Smith bawdy house. Lucille Blackburn was sent up for four years in September for assault to kill and rob. The other three were given year each for re- ceiving stolen property.
 In connection with the pardons. Governor Davis made this statement: "The four women pardoned were prostitutes, sent to the penitentiary from Fort Smith. Their incarcera- tion ill the penitentiary creates a nui- sance, as there the state has absolutely no use for them. and the officials are compelled to constantly keep them un= der lock and key, and while they are guilty of fragrant crimes, their eonfine- ment in the penitentiary cannot be tol. erated This is additional evidence and shows the necessity for a reform school. If the state had at this time reform school they could be made to do useful labor. but their confine- ment in the penitentiary is nuisance. l therefore adopted the lesser of the two evils and pardoned them upon the condition that they in the future lead an upright life"

ELECTIONS ON TUESDAY.
All the Preliminary Work Done and Getting the Vote Out Is Now
 in Order.
MOST INTEREST CENTERS IN NEW YORK,
There the Campaign Hns Been Spirited One and Both Sides, Tam many and the Fut.onists. Express Confidence In the Resuit-Apathy Elsewhere.

New York, Nov. 4.-Save for the final preparation for marshaling forces at the polls, the municipal campaign is at an end. Seth Low and Edward NJ. Shepard, the rival candi- dates for mayor; Justice Vim. Tray CTS Jerome, fusionist nominee for district attorney of New York coun- ty, and the other leaders on the two tickets have made their last speeches. Both sides are determined to bring out the heaviest vote possible, and to that end the organizers will devote all of their time until the polls close Tuesday night. The eve of the cleo tion finds both sides apparently con fident. The democrats claim victory for the entire city ticket by from 30,- 900 to 10000 majority, while the fu- sionists advance practically the same claim. The fusionists assert that they are certain of the defeat of Rob ert A. Van Wyck, the present mayor, who is a candidate for justice of the supreme court. They also express | great confidence in their ability to elect Edwin NJ. Grout as controller. Grout was elected president of the borough of Brooklyn four years as a democrat. The sharpest contest of all the bitterly-contested campaign is between Justice Wm. Trayers Je- rome, fusionist, and Henry ". Unger, democrat, for the important office of district attorney of New York coun- ty. Each side claims success for its man with equal positiveness.
 The weather indications are favor able and there will probably be a heavy vote.
