bound with 5000 cases of oil for

BECAUSE OF DROUTH.
Missouri Stockmen Plan TO Ship Their
Cattle TO Wisconsin, Where Grass Is
Not Burnt Up.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 20.-E. 0. Arm
strong, a prominent stockman of
northeastern Missouri, arrived in st.
Paul Friday and conferred with the
general freight department of the
Omaha Railway Co.. with a view of
arranging for the shipment of train
loads of stock from his country to
the grass districts of northern Wis
consin. He told some pitiful tales
of the conditions in his neighbor-
hood, where the farmers are cutting
down trees in order that the stock
may feed from their branches. Water
is so scarce as to command high
prices, and in one instance a farmer
neighbor $40 for watering his stock
once.
These stock raisers find it cheaper
to ship the cattle TO northern Wiscon-
sin, where there are thousands of
acres of clover and timothy grass
land and where water is abundant. in
stead of sacrificing them at small
price on a summer market, their idea
being that by shipping stock to this
northern country they can sell the
stock in the st. Paul or Chicago mar
ket in October or November at a
much greater profit.
The Omaha railroad people are ar
ranging with the owners of large
tracts of wild lands along their lines
in northern Wisconsin for practically
free use of this land for grazing pur-

Fires OF Insurrection Blaze Up Again
in Various Parts of the Philippines
Civil Government Fails.

Manila, July 19.-The United States
civil commission announced yesterday
that after three months trial of a
provincial form of government in the
islands of Cebu and Bohol and the
province of Batangas, Luzon, control
of those districts, owing to their in
complete pacification, has been re-
turned to the military authorities, it
having been proved that the commu-
mites indicated are backward and un-
deserving of civil administration.
The provincial and civil officials of
these designated districts will con-
tinue their functions, but are now
under the authority Of Gen. Chatfee
instead of that of Civil Governor Taft.
Gen. Chatfee has the power arbitrar-
lily to remove from office any or all
provincial or civil officials, and to alb
rogate any section of the laws pro-
mulgated in these three provinces.
The residents of the island of Cebu
have protested, but without success
against the return of the island to
military control. Several towns in
Cebu are still besieged by the insur-
gents.
The insurrection on the island of
Bohol has been renewed and insur-
gent sentiment in the province of
Batangas is strong. Gen. Chaffee
has ordered battalion of the Thir-
tieth infantry to begin the occupa-
ton of the island of Mindoro. The
province of Batangas will be occu-
pied by the entire Twentieth infantry.

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Fifth International Convention Is In
Session at San FranciscO-ThOusan
ef Visitors Attend.

San Francisco, July 19.-The fifth
international convention of the Ep-
worth league was opened Thursday
under the most auspicious conditions.
The weather was ideal and the at
tendance equalled the most sanguine
expectations.
The scene at Mechanics pavilion,
where the principal exercises of the
day were held, was one not soon to be
forgotten Never in its history has
the spacious interior of the pavilion
presented more impressive spec
tacle.
Great volumes of music from hu-
man throats and the accompaniment
of the Stanford organ inspired feel
ing of reverential admiration.
In the morning communion was
served in three of the largest
churches in the city, which, however,
were too small to accommodate the
throng which sought admission. By
noon the vast interior of Mechanics
pavilion,capabl of seating over $4,000,
was filled with a mass of humanity,
which moved slowly along the aisles,
stopping at intervals to partake of
California fruit, for, with lavish hos
pitality, almost everything had been
provided without cost for the visitors.
The pavilion is ordinarily a big,
barn-like structure, but for the pres
ent occasion it has been transformed
into a spacious auditorium, lavishly
decorated with flags, evergreens and
| flowers, and rooted with the national
colors. The acoustics have been
greatly improved and the music of
the grand organ rolls through the
building without an echo. Banners
| of the nation, of Canada and of the
league are everywhere in evidence.
4 meeting of officers of the league
was held shortly after noon and CON-
| siderable time was devoted to dis
cussion of work in foreign fields. All
| the speakers dwelt on the Importance
of spreading the faith in the new
| possessions of the United States.
While this conference was in progress
| a Christian Chinese, with his five chill
| dren, all wearing the Epworth league
| badge, attracted much attention.
When the convention was called to
| order by Rev. Thomas Filben, of Pa
| cifc Grove, not a vacant space was
| 10 Dt seen from lne organ W Inc ldi
| gallery tier of chairs. After serv-
ice Of song General Secretary Rev. Jo-
seph f. Berry read a number of con-
| gratulatory messages from promi-
nent men. President Mckinley said:
81 have much pleasure in sending to
he international Epworth league con-
vention my hearty congratulations
upon the good work the great body
of Christian men and women which it
represents has accomplished in the
past, and my earnest wish that even
| greater success will crown the fu-
ture efforts of the league
Vice President Roosevelt worded his
message as follows: "Heartiest greet
| ings and may good luck attend the
Epworth league in its efforts for So
| cial and civic Righteousness"
Other communications were from
! Governors Mcmillan, of Tennessee; !;
! Shaw, of Iowa; Durbin, of Indiana :;
| Yates, of Illinois; Bliss, of Michigan; :;
! Dockery, of Missouri; Stanley, of
Kansas, and Van SAINT, OF Minnesota.

In One of tho Houses Two Men Wero
Struck by the Same Bolt and Both

Antonio Darenska.
Michael Zaccagia
Probably fatally injured:
Lin Covert.
Edward Hosack.
Oscar Covert.
A section crew on the Bessemer Sc
Lake Erie railroad were returning
home from work when the storm
came up. They left the railroad
track and hastened to a deserted
house at the Pinchalong mine for
shelter. Hardly had they reached
the shelter of the place when the
house was struck by lightning. Luth-
er Campbell, foreman of the crew,
and Howard Cornelius, one of the Sec
tion men, were both struck by one
bolt and instantly killed. Campbell
did not even have mark showing
where the lightning struck him, but
Cornelius was horribly burned. Lin
Covert, Edward Hosack and Oscar
Covert were also shocked and rem
dered unconscious for several hours
from the same nash, and are all in u
critical condition, and doctors say
they may die.
During the storm a house occupied
by a gang of Italians working on
the new railroad few miles south
of this place was struck. There were
several men crowded into the little
cabin, afraid to work or even speak
while the storm was raging so. This
house was struck and almost totally
destroyed. Darenslla and Zaccagia
were instantly killed and several of
their companions were severely
shocked, one or two of whom may die
Much other damage was done in
this region by the storm, which is said
to have been one of the worst cleo
trical displays ever witnessed in this
county.

BASKETBALL TEAMS
 EVENLY MATCHED
PERDUE DEFEATED NASHVILLE LAST NIGHT BY PROPORTION. ATELY SAME SCORE AS IN BlR. MINGHAM-NASHVILLE GAME.

Perdue University S0 Nashville G. was the score of the basket ball game which was played in Nashville last night be- tween the intercollegiate champions from Lafayette, Indiana, and the team of the Nashville Athletic Club.
 Birmingham 15; Nashville 3, was the score made on March 15 last when tho team from this city defeated Nashville on their home ground. Three weeks be- fore that time Birmingham defeated Nashville in a game played by a score of 15 to 2.
 These scores furnish the only basis on which forecast can be made of the game which will be played at the Athletic Club tonight between Birmingham and Perdue University. In each case the winning team made a score five times as large as that of Nashville, and from this is based the opinion that Birmingham and Perdue are evenly matched.
 In comparing the scores of these two games 1t must also be borne in mind that the system of scoring this year is diff ferent from last. Formerly a goal from the field counted points and a goal from a foul 1 point Now a field goal counts points and a foul goal 1 point. Conse-
 
 than in the past.
 Details of last nights game have not yet been received, but at best Perdue could not have made over ten field goals. In several games last year, Birmingham made scores equally as good
 Great interest is being manifested in the game which will be played tonight and Monday night. Reserved seats were placed on sale at Stones yesterday, and large numbers of them were sold
 Birmingham's lineup tonight will be the same as last year: William Huey, center; Hill Ferguson, right forward and captain; Henry Dean, left forward; Ed Warren, right guard. and Lee Mccall, left guard.
 The Perdue team and substitutes is AS follows: Reimann, captain; Arnold, Cools. Knapp, L. Lucas, R. Lucas, Miller, Holt, and Smith Curd is manager The Per due party will arrive in Birmingham this morning at S:20, and will stop at the Hill man.

Miss BarIowe's Benefit.

The vaudeville entertainment comp1i- mentary to Miss Inez Barlowe at the Au- ditorium last night was witnessed by a large and delighted audience.
 All of the parts were well presented.
 IA Tramps' Opportunity" a sketch by Miss Marcella Rothschild and MT. Sidney Lazarus was very numerous.
 Miss Amelia Sewell in her song When MT. Shakespeare Comes to Town caught the audience and elicited much applause.
 Dr. J. E. Dedman and Mir. Walter Blackburn in their Mint, Magic and Mystery" mystif1ed and amused the audi ence. Dedman with his mystery and Blackman with his mirth are high fa- yorites in vaudeville.
 But MT. Blackman in his "mimicry'' was at his best and responded to two encores.
 Eddie McQuaid's juggling was good and up to the usual standard.
 The closing number, Miss Inez Barlowe in Mrs. Burton Harrison's monologue, Behind a Curtain" was the hit of the evening. Miss Barlowe is a great favor ite in Birmingham and her many friends prophecy a brilliant future for her in her chosen work.
 She leaves for New York Monday next, having had many fattering offers from managers there. She will be followed by the best wishes of her Birmingham friends who hope to see her in Birming- ham again before a great while.
