All Washington waited eagerly and

Presidents bedside this morning. It
was quite generally understood that the
turning point i'm Mr. McKinley's condition
would be reached during the night and the
early morning news was sought i'm every

It is reported upon high authority here
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company

Criticism of Mr. Mckinley

OMAHA, Neb.. Sept. 9.-The congrega-
ton OF the Presbyterian Church Of Fair

morning until a viIlifier Of President Nc

II. ID. Gesser. a Populist Of the radical

legitimate fruits Of his encouragement Of
trusts and the money power. A crowd Of
young men thereupon ducked him in

a rail, carried him into the country. Ges-
ser was dumped into a thicket and warned

AtIanta's Passenger Station.

Atlanta is sadly in need of a union passenger station. as every one who has ever visited that city knows. but the prospects of having the $5O0,O00 building which the state of Georgia is ready to erect are diminishing" said an Atlanta man at the Hillman.
 'The Southern Railway Company. it is stated, objects to going into the arrange ment with the state of Georgia. Col. A. B. Andrews first vice president of the Southern, says the site proposed is not large enough Some of our citizens are inclined to think that the Southern Rail- way is only bluffing, but if 1t is true that the company will not go into the scheme we will have no new station.
 Atlanta is ahead of every southern city in the matter of modern buildings. The only thing it lacks is a handsome passen- ger station. We are certainly far behind in that line. Our station is still called the car shed. That name is historic. Soon after Sherman burned Atlanta a carshed was built opposite the Kimball House. It was only a makeshift, and in @ few years later the present station was built

ShaW's Wealth,

Gov. Leslie M. Shaw of Iowa, who has been selected by President Roosevelt to succeed MT. Gage as secretary of the treasury, is a man of wealth now, but his accumulations are of recent date, " said Texas man at the Hillman.
 "A year or two ago Governor Shaw was man of very limited means. He was certainly not well off financially. But he and his associates bought large tracts of rice land around Orange and Beaumont, Texas. and when the oil discovery was made at Beaumont ten months ago they profited by the increased value of lands, which doubled many times within Q few weeks.
 Governor Shaw is actively interested in several large oil companies which are operating on a big scale in the Beaumont fields It Is said the oil discovery brought him a fortune of not less than $SOO,000. Had it not been for this streak of luck the Governor would not have been cab inet timber Only the rich can afford to accept cabinet positions owing to the small salary"

standing and popularity are needed in this important task. Tho strongest and best men in the city should be asked to take hold, and no plea of private business should be made, for no citizen has moral right to decline duties that pertain to all.
 A commission of this nature was np- pointed by law when Greater New York was formed, but no more law is needed in the case Of Greater Birming- ham than the city government can confer. The commission does not need much law behind it, so far as the per fecting of a plan of consolidation is concerned. It's task is to find a plan that will be just to all, and that all will be glad to accept. This can be done, because the interests of all in Jones Valley are common, and n plat form that suits all can certainly be framed.

Greater Birmingham.

Rfchmond and other cities are pre-. pairing to annex suburbs that are really parta of one whole, and Birmingham will be sadly lacking in foresight and wisdom if it does not do likewise. Only two Legislature will meet before the nextScensus is taken, and if Creates Birmingham is to become fact the ehiefswork must be done by the Legis latufe to be elected next November.

Law and Order in PowderIy.

It is scarcely credible that any con siderable number of the intelligent citizens of Powderly favored the lynch ing of a 16-year-old black. boy who had perhaps killed an unfortunate white boy whom he did not know. The Age-Herald refuses to believe that the better citizens of Powderly contem- plated any lawless action whatever. There may have been few hotheads who proposed to constitute themselves judge, jury and sheriff against help less black boy 16 years old, but that anything so unmanly so utterly want ing in sense as well as in courage, Is to be charged against the good citi- zens of Powderly, is not worthy of credence at all.
 Summary vengeance against the negro boy did not occur, and he is lodged in jail, and full and careful  judicial investigation of all the eircum- stances connected with :he homicide will take place. This populous and orderly county is not within the iuris- diction of Judge Lynch. and the sooner this fact is fully accepted the better for all.
 The truth is, all Alabama has heen taken out of the lynching belt by Governor Jelks and the sheriffs of the State, and the man or men who resort to a restoration of the barbaric and anarchistic practice will find they have a chief executive to deal with who is not a man of straw or putty, Governor Jelks means exactly what he says. He says that during his term of office law and order shall reign, ana any one who attempts to the contrary will be severely and sternly met

So must you resolve
Ten-Story Office BuiIdinq.

The ton-story office building on First avenue is not a large enterprise in this district of huge and expensive plants, even though it is to occupy one hundred feet each way. But this pile of brick and steel one hundred feet square and ten stories high above ground is the beginning of a revolu. tion in this town. It means rooms for offices. It means that corporations which need from five to twenty rooms each, with every modern convenience, can soon find such accommodations here. For this building will be i'm. itated until all demands are met. Here tofore there has been a grievous and almost total lack of modern office ac- coInmodations, but hereafter there is to be plenty of such space.
 The rates for such space vary from ASCA Ol h QOWu-IOW0 IdIeS u lu6 AL lanta rates of SPA a square foot, but the rates in this town are to be S5 cents a foot, a reduction that large in stitutions will appreciate, especially when such rates will not be accom-. panied by any lessening of office con- vehiences.
 When this town becomes both a trade center and an office center, in addition to it's specialties of coal, iron and steel, saying nothing about an Open Warrior, it indeed becomes a question whether Jones Valley will be big3enough to hold it. It would prove expensiye if the enclosing hills have to be moved bodily back in order to accommodate the eager throngs that will hasten this way.
