A Record for Red rap..

According to Vienna correspondent,
a fire recently broke out at Hermanns-
reuth, an Austrian village near the Ba-
varian frontier. A Bavarian fire bri-
gade, which was stationed only three
miles away, fastened to the rescue, but
the Austrian custom house authorities
refused to allow the fire engines to
pass the frontier before the usual tax
on imported machinery was paid. The
Bavarian firemen naturally turned
back, and half the village was burnt
down before the nearest Austrian fire
brigade was on the scene.

The notion that the horseshoe IS a
protection against evil is as old as
the hills. There is legend that the
devil one day asked st. Dunstan, who
was noted for his skill in shoeing
horses, to shoe his single hoof." Dun
stan, knowing who his customer was,
tied him tightly to the wall and pro-
ceeded with his job, but purposely put
the. devil to so much pain that he
roared for mercy. The saint at last
consented to release him on condition
that he never would enter a place
where he saw horseshoe displayed.

TO TEST ANTITRUST LAW
Fight Will Be Made Against the United States Steel Corporation.
 Monnett Retained

Washington, Aug. s-District Assem- bly, No. 66 of the Knights of Labor last night authorized its legislative commit tee to bring quo warranto proceedings against the Attorney General of the United States to show cause why he has not enforced the provisions of the antitrust law. known as the sherman Act.
 This action, which will be instituted tmoorrow, is aimed at the United States Steel Corporation, which is. it is alleged operating in violation of the Sherman Oct. Labor leaders in this city say this will ha~ten solution of the strike now in progress. They say that the laws similar or nearly simi- lar to the Sherman law have been en- acted in nearly all the States and in several of them. notably in Ohio and Texas, the county attorneys have the power of the Attorney-General of the State in quo warranto proceedings, and that the Amalgamated Association has a large fund on hand with which to in stitute proceedings similar to those to be begun here. Former Attorney-Gen- eral Frank $. Monnett of Ohio has been retained by the American antitrust League to begin action before the State and local courts of Ohio.

THE BUFFALO FEVER
MANY POPULAR MoNTGoM-
 BRAINS ARE AFFLICTED. ,-
Rainbow City Editor of The Ad- vertiser is Administering a Cure. The Health Report" Will
 Appear Tomorrow.

The Buffalo fever is quite prevalent in Montgomery just at present. It is due to The Advertiser contest. Quite a large number of serious cases have been reported recently and the epi- demic Is rapidly spreading throughout the State.
 The authorities seem to be unable to check the spread of the disease and no doubt 1t is contagious, as a number of new cases have been reported within the last week. and but few of the old cases first reported are convalescent. In fact, the majority are growing worse with little hopes of recovery.
 The worst case reported up to last Thursday was a favorite policeman, Gladden. Harrison. Police Office W. II. Taylor is also suffering badly at last accounts with an apparent desire to suffer longer and harder. Both of these officers are sturdy. timetried men with unfiinching nerves, and there is no doubt that they will overcome the disease.
 The fever has also been quite preva- lent among the clerks and school teachers in all parts of the city, the worst cases in these ranks being re- tol Hill School.
 Clerks seem to be affected most easily and a great number of them are re- ported in bad shape with bad symp- toms appearing in a great many new cases Mir. L. P. Sweatt has it bad in fact, is growing worse hourly and is reported to be a very tired man, while Mr. Will Martin. the efficient hotel clerk, has slight hopes of recovery at an early date, but may pull through by careful nursing and proper care.
 It has been discovered recently that a Rainbow tonic gives the quickest re- lief While it Is not immediate, 1t IS guaranteed to cure if taken as pre- scribed. Full direction for administer ing the Rainbow tonic will be found in each edition of The Advertiser at the top left-hand corner of the second page. ITse d pair of scissor or a knife, or tearing on a straight line Will answer. Fill in the patients name you desire to cure in each of the three blank lines left for the purpose and it is guaranteed that each and every dose will serve to alleviate the pain and will eventually eradicate the disease en- tirely.
 Another health report" will be pub lished Sunday morning, giving the condition of all the patients now under treatment. Doses for patients to be administered by sympathizing friends, should reach the Railbow Tonic Depart ment by o'clock tonight, in order that a proper distribution of the medicine may be made to patients. New cases will be cared for promptly and old ones will receive the same eonsiderate at> tention.
 The Advertisers trip to Buffalo is at fever heat, which explains the cause of the epidemic. Three popular Mont gomerians will go to Buffalo-a clerk a teacher and a policeman.

Chattanooga wen the game by letter all around ball playing. The locals made total of nine hits off Brunner. out they most always came when the bases were empty. In the fourth inning Brunner filled the bases by giving three men trans portation to first. but even with that no hit came and no run tallied. The Selma remnants are to be pitied. No pitcher can win with such fielding behind him as Selma puts up and the hitting, too, is all out of order. The score follows:
