As the business increases branch Offices
will be erected. and mail from the grounds
will be handled through these. instead Of

WILEY AND HIS BILLS
OUR CONGRESSMAN DEPARTS
 FOR THE CAPITAL TODAY.
His First Bills Will Be Measures to Get Money for Mon. .gomery; Also to Get Us Those
 Spanish Masts.

Col. A. Wiley, Congressman from the Second Alabama District, will leave Montgomery this evening for Washing ton to be present at the convening of the Fhty-seventh Congress Monday. He will return to Montgomery. for the holidays, end after Christmas Mrs. Wiley will go with him to Washington.
 In an interview with representative Of The Advertiser last night Colonel Wiley said that in the early days of Com si ess he would introduce a bill, which he hopes to get in the general appro- priation bill, appropriating 5000 to the for the expenditure by the city In paw ing the streets adjacent to the Federal Building in thls city.
 He will also introduce bill appropri- ating 25,000 acres of the public lands of Alabama for the use of the Troy Normal School and the Negro Normal School To- cated in Montgomery. The bill will have to carry an equal division of the lands between these two schools to give 1t any hope of passage by Congress.
 Another bill which Colonel Wiley will present to Congress is a measure pro- viding for the donation to the State of Alabama of the Spanish masts which ha:e already been shipped to Montgom-
 1t will be remembered that these masts were brought to the United States through the efforts of Capt Richmond rived in New York the Secretary of the Navy Department gave 1t as his opinion that the masts were the property of the Government and could not he donated to State without an act of Congress. This is matter of form to'which Colonel Wiley will give his attention during the early days of the session.
 Although Colonel Wiley has been a Congressman since March 4th. he will assume his Congressional duties for the first time when the Fifty-seventh Con- gress convenes Monday. Unlike many of the new Congressman who will reach Washington today and tomorrow, Colonel Wiley is familiar with all branches of legislation and has Q wide acquaintance with the public men of the country. He has served almost without Interruption as member of one of the branches of the Alabama Legislature for eighteen years and is distinguished lawyer. As an officer during the Spanish-Amer- ican war Colonel Wiley was intimately associated with President Roosevelt and Col. Leonard Wood at Santiago. As District Counsel of the Plant System of railroads he has a wide acquaintance with railroad officials and his numerous visits to Washington have given him a ready acquaintance with national affairs and national men.

 Last Night.

One of the hardest contested cases tried in the City Court in some time was concluded at i0:45 o'clock last night when The jury brought in verdict TOT the state. The case was said to be one l oi the prettiest circumstantial eVidease cases ever heard in this County.
 Will Lowe. who Is a son of a promi. uent planter in Beat ID. was charged with stealing young bull rom N. Y. Stoddard one of the largest planters in that section of the County. The Lowe plantation and the Stoddard plantation tdioin.
 Last January Mir. stoddard missed a 1ne young bull. No trace of the animal could be found and the search was about to be abandoned when Jeff Farmer, a constable, found the skull and horns oi an animal under brush pile on artnd tnd his initial on the bulls horns and by tlls token he was able to identify the horns as those of his bull This was the first clue the constable had to work on.
 It was then recalled that young Lowe had been selling meat in the neighbor- hood a few days after Stoddard's bull disappeared. It also became known that 6 hs no.S had S Hssn sninerS 1T This 0 G identified as the hide from MT. Stod-
 Lowe was indicted. charged with steal ing the bull. His case was set for trial last July but was continued until yes terdaY.

DIRECTORS MEET MONDAY.
Street Fair Association, It is Said,
 Game out Behind About $4OO.

'The Board of Directors of the street Fair Association will probably meet Mon. day evening to settle up the accounts or the committees which managed the re- cent Street Fair,' said one Of the Dlrec- tors last night.
 The Director explained that many or the bills had been slow in coming in, and that it was the hope of the members Of the Board of Directors that all expenses of the Street Fair should be paid pelors the final meeting so that the Board would know the exact financial status or the Association.
 Was the Street Fair financial sue cess?" the Director was asked
 Well, not entirely he replied. we started in with about $1 800 left over from last year. and l understand that we Will have balance on hand this year of about $l, 400 This would mean that we came out $4O0 behind. l merely give the approximate figures as they are reported to me. Of course we can't tell anytMng definite about the financial outcome until the Board meets.

TAKE A RECORD.
See How Many Friends Are Hurt by
 Coffee.

It would be just as reasonable for temperance advocate to drink a little diluted whiskey az to drink coffee, for one is as truly an intoxicant as the other, and persistence in the use of coffee brings on A variety of chronic diseases. notort- ous among which are dyspepsia, heart palpitation (and ultimately heart failure), freouently constipation, kidney diseases many cases of weak eyes and trembling condition of the nerves.
 This is only a small per centase of the great variety of diseases which come from an unbalanced nervous system, caused by the persistent daily use of the drug caffeine, which Is the active prin- cInIs of coffee. Another bit of prima facie evidence about coffee is that the victims to the habit find great difficulty in giving 1t up. .,
 They will solemnly pledge to them selves day after day that they VIII aban- don the use of 1t when they know that it is shortening their days, but morning after morning they fail. until they grow to despise themselves for their lack of control.
 Any one interested in this subject would be greatly surprised to make systematic inquiry among prominent brain workers in America There are hundreds of thousands of our most promi- nent people that have aoanooneo colee altogether and are using Potsum Food Coffee in its place. and for the most ex- cellent reasons in the world. Many of them testify that all health, nervous pros- tratIon. and consequent inability to work, has in times past. pushed them back and out of their proper standing in life which thev have been able t1 regain b" the use of good hood health, strong nerves. and great vitality. since coffee has been thrown out and the Postum put in It's place.

CUBA WANTS TO RULE.
Some Few Wish Annexation, But
 Majority Do Not

New York, Nov. 29.-Among the pas sengers who arrived today from Havana were General Leonard Wood Governor of Cuba; Mrs. Wood. Michael J. Dady the contractor; Sir William Van Horne. Lieutenant w. Barden and Lieutenant Frank Mccoy.
 General Wood said that he would pro- ceed directly to Washington to report to President Roosevelt and expected to re- turn by Saturdays steamer. He said he had expressed no opinion on the question of annexation of Cuba, and that to do so would be impolitic. The story he added, was probably put out to affect tn 3 elections in Cuba, but nothing would come of it. Matters were quiet in Cuba and preparations were being made for the coming elections in February.
 "Of course" said General Wood. there are number of people in Cuba who de- sire annexation, but I doubt the possi- bility of securing a canvass of opinion on the question. The people of Cuba wish to see their flag floating over Moro cas- tie. even if it were for only a week.
 MT. Dady says the City Council of Ha- vana by an unanimous vote gave him the Havana cl ntrAct -or public Improvements there, and that the plans ana specifica- tions are in preparation for presentation to General Wood. who will consider the matter on his return to Cuba.

COMMITTEE REPORTS THEY OCCUPY TIME OF PAM AMERICAN CONGRESS. MT. Buchanan Submits Proposition to Bring About Uniformity of
 Nomenclature of Articles
 of Commerce.

Mexico City, Nov. 29.-The session of the Pan-American Congress this morning was largely taken up with the reading of the reports of committees. These were reports of the International Banking and Monetary Exchange, of the Committee on Literary Relations. favoring an exchange of of1cial publications. and lengthy re- port of the committee of which Senator Davis is the head with respect to the Pan-American Railroad.
 A project was submitted by William Y, Buchanan of the United States dele Ration, on commercial nomenclature. MT Buchanan says:
 'The impol tance of this subject to the commerce of the republics represented here is one that has been frequently and is forcibly brought to my attention, and have reached the firm conviction as the result my observances with regard thereto, that if uniformity of name and description can be secured for the com mon articles of Pan-American commerce, and such nomenclature officially adopted and made the basis of customs sched- ules and laws of the republics of this hemisphere, a distinct and valuable step followed by all that appertains to the general betterment of commerce will be gained"
 |. Mir, Buchanan proposes that the sov- ernments represented in the Bureau of American Republics contribute among themselves the sum of $4O,000 in gold, with a view to a careful revision and compilation in English, Spanish and Por- tuguese and under the direction of the customs division of each of the govern ments of commercial nomenclature of the American republics heretofore issued by the Bureau of American Republics. MT. Buchanans proposal was referred to the Committee on Commerce. Through Hon. Volney W. Foster, letter of Henry J. Amber, Jr., chairman of the Interna- tional Olympian Games Association. to be held in Chicago in 1904, inviting the countries represented at the conference to participate in the games, was submit- ted to the assembly.
