 ty-fve miles from the nearest town. MT. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within radius of thirty miles. to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain's remedies.

The New Court House,

The contractors for the new court house have put a number of plasterers to work on the new court house. after wait of several months in completing the build ing. There Is a great deal of dissat tisfac- ton not only with the dilatory manner in which the building Is being finished but with the architecture and workman ship of the building. Competent builders say that the edifice when finished will be unsafe, as the girders across the build ing are not strong enough to support the immense tower that looms up from the centre of the building and that there is danger of collapse. Some of the off, cials of the County are so apprehensive along this line that they propose to have the building passed on by experts and ie they pronounce the building unsafe they will rent private offices nearby and move their books and records therein, if they can get the permission of the authorities.
 Then. again, there IS q general impress sion that the architectural design of the building Is greatly at fault and will prove very unsatisfactory for a court house building The court room will be very dark and poorly ventilated, it is said The City Judges office has only one win dow in it. and there are other grave ob- 1ections to the plans.
 There is a good deal of muttering among the tax payers about the bungling manner in which the whole affair has been conducted, and many are of the opinion that the present contractors will never complete the job and that the County will have to take hold and finish

To Bore New Well.

Since the attempt to clean out the sul- phur bored-we at the Council Chamber. the we'll has filled up and not drop of water reaches the surface. This well has been one of the most celebrated in the State. and is one of the few instances where a strong stream of sulphur water was struck when boring for free stone water The Street Committee of the City Council has under advisement the pro- priety of trying to put new casing in the old we'll or boring a new one within few inches of the old one. On account of the difficulty of getting the old iron casing out of the well, it is thought that the safest plan will be to bore new well and the probabilities are that the contract will be let for a new well. There is general demand in Selma from all classes of people that the Council strike the stream of sulphur water again.

TO BUILD STEEL MILL
ERECTION OF PLANT APPEARS
 A CERTAINTY.
Frank P. o'Brien Said to Be in the Race for Marshal of North ern District of
 Alabama.

Birmingham, Oct. 9.-(Special.)-The erection of a big steel plant by the Re- public Iron and Steel Company in this district now appears to be certainty. As was stated in these dispatches of Mon- day high officials of that company are now in this district investigating the mat ter. President A. w. Thompson at noon today stated that these officials will recommend to the directors that the steel mill be built. The meeting or the directors he added will be held in Chicago at an early date. The company's general headauarters are in that city. Until the directors act. MT. Thompson could not state positively that the plant will be built, but the fact that every omctal or the company will join in the recommen. dation Is taken to mean that the miil will certainly be established as 1t Is figured that the directors would scarcely fail to act favorably In the matter. MT. Thompson said further. "I will state that there will be another steel plant in this district in the near future" No state- ment Is made by the oflcials Of the com pany as to where the plant will be erect ed, but it is regarded as certain that II will be at Thomas where the company furnaces are established.

NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE.
simmonr Company Have Arranged With
Trade and Are Ready for Long Fight.


The topu1ar belief that there will be
an early settlement of the Simmons
strike is greatly in error, as one of the
managers in the factory this afternoon
stated to representative of this paper
that there could be no settlement Of
the strike. The only way for the
foundry to work as before is for the
men to return to work under the old
scale of wages and wait for the mana
gers to settle any difficulties which
may be presented after they have re-
turned to work. Many people have
considered that the strike has caused a
great financial loss to the company,
but the facts are far different, and
from the showing of figures which
cannot be disputed the loss to the COM
pany for the first twenty-three days OF
this month have been considerably less
than a single days shipment
The company has now sent letter
to their atrade telling of the serious
strike and the trade has met them half
way and assured that while the Keno
sha factory will be forced to lose part
of the spring trade the loss will be an
ultimate gain. The managers of the
factory are perfectly independent and
one of them stated this afternoon that
there was no difference whether the
foundry starts or not. He said: 1--WE
are willing to open the foundry II the
men seek the work, but there are a
number of the leaders in the strike
who will never be employed in this
factory again if the strike continues
forever. We shall reserve the right to
say what men shall be employed"
The other departments have been kept
going as long as possible and the de-
partments are now we'll stocked up so
that many lines of business will go on
uninterrupted.
During the last twenty-four hours a
serious side of the strike has developed
as it is stated that the men have again
threatened violence to Charles Leg1er,
who has been assisting the firm in
keeping the foundry going. 1t is also
stated that Mrs. Leg1er has been
threatened.
Leg1er and his family are under the
protection of the managers of the fac
tory, and any effort to use force in
stopping Leg1er from work will be met
with legal rebuff.
The men state today that there is no
change in the strike. Many Of them
are Disguised with the stand that is
being taken. and hope that something

MEISELBACH SHOPS MAY LEAVE KENOSHA.
Simmons Factory Shuts Down Indefinitely This Evening Pending Settlement
of All Labor TrOubesA. D. MeiseIbach Will Seek New
LOCATION for His Machine Shops.-Strike Gives
Kenosha Black Eye Industrial Circles.

six hundred men were a. work in the
factory today and while the shut down
has been expected it will come as
terrible blow to the people of the city
and it may result in much suffering
among the women and children de-
pendent on the employees of the great
factory.
Z he strikers have nothing to offer
today more than to declare that the
strike will continue until their de-
mands are met. After the statements
made by the company it is assured that
there can be no settlement.
Meiselbach May Leave.
On top of the announcement of the
closing of the Simmons factory comes
the announcement that the plans for
the enlargement of the Meiselbach
factory will never be carried out. Mr..
Meise1bach was seen this afternoon
and stated that he would not make
any engagements in the Kenosha fac
tory and that it was possible that the
factory would be removed from Keno
sha at once. Mr.. Meise1bach stated
that his men had left him without any
any grievance and whatever might be
the outcome Of the strike in the future
all his machine work would be done in
other cities.
The Meise1bach factory was to have
opened next week and Mr.. Meiselbach
states thai he had decided to buck the
trust by sending out a great number
of machines. The factory will not be
opened and it is stated that the Keno
sha manufacturer is now seeking an
other location. Members of the Ma
chinists association stated that this is
simply bluff on the part of Mr.. Meis-
e1bach, and one of them stated that
the factory in this city was simply
being held, pending a sale to the trust.
The closing of these factories will
be generally regretted in Kenosha and
some efforts will be taken by the bust
ness men to start the wheels moving
again. -

FALSE LEG CAUSES DIVORCE
Woman Asks Separation From Husband on
Account of Deformtty.

When Miss Augusta F. Wolff became
Mrs. Leonard Appe1mann she found
out that her ideal had a wooden leg.
She says that she was so angered at
the manner in which she had been de-
frauded that their honeymoon lasted
only two days. Tuesday, after wait
ing two years since the terminal Of
her brief matrimonial experience, she
applied for divorce in the Superior
court.
Mrs. Appe1mann says that she was
married in Chicago to her husband,
who was from X osha, Wis, May II,
1899. "Before our marriage I asked
him the cause of his 1ameness, and
was assured that he had suffered a
severe sprain of the ankle, but would
recover" says Mrs. Appelmann. "Be-
1ieving his representations and that he
was bodily sound, married him only
to find that he had lost one of his legs
and was using an artificial leg, and
that had been defrauded. Chicago
