Denver, Colo, June 10, 1902.
Idaho Springs, Colo.
Dear Madam:-In reply to your appli-
cation of June 9TH for position as lady
clerk in our hotel, will have to ask you
for your name in order to decide what
pattern want your bloomers constructed
after, as it depends largely on the form
of the person who is to wear them what
style should be selected. Please do not
take this to heart, but my reason for
wording it this way is that 1 am aware
that some of the female population of
Idaho Springs would not look so well as
others as others in this attire.
In conclusion will say that if your
shape is all right you may consider
yourself engaged and proceed to make
yourself engaged and proceed to make
yourself pair of tight fitting bloomers.
Yours very truly,
Charles F. Todd.

FOOTBALL TEAMS
GETTING IN TRIM
Season Opens in Birmingham
October 10
TWILL BE A ROYAL FIGHT
Auburn and the University Both In
Hard Training and Almost Ready
for Preliminary Games.
Auburn Is "Foxy."

Tuscaloosa and Auburn open the foot
ball season in Birmingham on october Is.
Each team has now been in training for
over ten days, the green men have been
taught the first principles of the game,
the easy signals have been learned, the
varsity has lined up for short halves
against the scrubs" and everything
points to a successful season.
It is yet early to predict with any de-
gree of certainty the lineup of any OF
the college elevens. There are an aver
age of three men trying for each posi-
ton on the various teams. and after each
days practice each candidate has reason
to believe he is going to be the lucky
man.
Auburn has nearly five hundred stu
dents from which to select a team. Only
one member of last years eleven has re-
turned, Allison. who played full back.
Auburn's manager claims that their team
will be composed of last years scrubs
and subs" but then "Old Auburn is
foxy, and no one doubts but what they
will have a "crack-a-jaek' team as
usual Their team will be lighter than
usual probably averaging 1856 pounds,
but they will have speed, and speed and
stamina count as much as weight in foot
bail.
Auburn has two coaches Ralph Kent,
who played center for Cornell last sea-
son. and Mike Harvey, an old Auburn
hoy, who coached the University of Ala
bama so successfully last season. Kent
has charge of the line men, while Harvey
handles the back field. Auburn, no doubt,
is better fixed in the coaching line than
any other college in the south.
Tuscaloosa has an able coach in Sedg-
wick an old Brown man. who has excel
lent control of the boys and who has
made himself very popular SO early in
the season. Erie Drennen. captain of
last years eleven and a Birmingham boy,
has given much assistance. Six of last
years eleven are back and more men are
trying for positions on the eleven than
foe years past. The team will average
is pounds. The opening game is with

ADVOCATES AN ALLIANCE.
Argentine and Chile Getting on Very
Friendly Terms.

New York. September 26.-Beginning
with the first speeches made by the Ar
gentine delegates and several Gillian
statesmen in the course of banquets and
entertainments given to the former, the
idea of an alliance between the republics
has been only suggested indirectly, cables
the Valparaiso, Chile correspondent of
the Herald. But at a banquet Wednes-
day night in Santiago Umilio Korner,
commander of the CHILEAN army, openly
raised the question and advocated the
alliance.
After reviewing the struggle for indie
pendence, when the armies of both coun-
tries fought several battles together,
General Corner declared that the fathers
of the two nations sought the creation
of a United States of South America,
which until today had been only a
dream, but now has every probability of
realization.
I'VE Chilian soldiers raise our glasses"
he continued, wishing that when terri
tory of either country is menaced the
other might do what she did during the
war for independence"

sus Bureau In Compiling
the information.

Washington. September 26.-President
Roosevelt has signed the order providing
for taking a census of the Philippines In
accordance with the terms of the Phil
pine act passed by the last congress and
upon the certificate of the Philippine
commission that the instruction has
been suppressed.
The order is dated September 25.-It re-
cites the origin of the Philippines act
which provides that complete peace shall
have been established and the fact certi-
fled to the President the census may be
ordered, which shall make inquiries relat-
ing to the population and ascertain as far
as possible such as taken In census of
this country. In his discretion the Pres
ident may employ the present census bu-
reau in compiling and pomulgating the
statistical information. The Philippines
commission made the following certificate
to the President in the form of a resolu-
ton, upon which he issued the order TAX
ing the census:
Resolved, That the Philippine COM
mission hereby certifies to the President
of the United States that the recently
existing insurrection in the Philippines
mas ceased and condition OF general
and complete peace has been established
therein. That this certificate is made in
accordance with the provisions of Sec
ton six of an act temporarily to provide
for the affairs of civil government in the
Philippine islands and for other reasons
and that the commission recommends to
the President of the United States that
he order a census of the Philippine is
lands taken in accordance with the above
act. Ba 1t further
Resolved, That the foregoing certifi-
cate does not, and is not. intended to
certify that the conditions ruling the
Lake Lanao district in Mindanao. which
district form but a small part of the
territory occupied by the Moros are
those of absolute and complete peace,
but in the opinion of the commission the
language of section six and the certih-
cate therein provided for were not in
tended by congress to require before such
census should be taken that complete
peace should exist in the country of the
wild Moros who never have taken any
part in the instruction referred to in
section six"

The Boys Clothing
Department.

There IS no other place in Birmingham
where you can buy SO good boys clothing for
so little as here.
That may sound trite and hackneyed,
but it expresses a fact, nevertheless.
Our boys clothing department is not a
monster department. Rather, it represents
only the better grades-there is no cheap,
sapped-together, or shoddy clothing, nor is
there very much of the very expensive boys
clothing. But of the middle class-of the
better class there is an abundance. In great
many instances it is sold at very little more
than the prices asked by exclusive clothiers
for clothing inferior.
Just why thisis you should understand
that is, if you understand, as you now should,
the economic principles of the store.
But again, about the class of our boys
clothing: Here is represented the better quail
tiles, not in a few suits, but in many styles
Russian and Sailor Blouse, Faunteroy,
VeStee and Norfolk, besides other styles,
Of materials, here are Velvet, Corduroy
Seage, Venetian, Cashmere Cheviot and SO
on.
Besides, there is an exclusive stock of
Refers and Overcoats, Hats and Caps boys
underwear, furnishings and shoes you will
find in the fourth aisle). In the matter of
prices:
Here are boys Atwood double-breasted
suits, guaranteed at LOS.

CATTLE MEN AFTER LAND.
Secured Soldiers Widows to Enter
Claims and Transfer But Govern
ment Stopped the Fraud.


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE Interio,
department has suspended. with a view
to cancellation, number of alleged
fraudulent land entries in Nebraska
made by soldiers widows, who it is
charged have entered into an agree
ment for the transfer Of the lands to
cattle companies
w. N. Lesser, of Iowa, a special agent
whose headquarters have been for sew
eral years at North Platte, Neb., has
been suspended in connection with
these proceedings.
The action follows an investigation
that has been quietly conducted in
Nebraska by Col. John S. Mosby, the
former guerilla leader, who is now a
special agent Of the general land Of
flee.
The exact extent Of the operations
is not disclosed, but so far as known
there are forty five or fifty cases, each
entry being for 100 acres.
The government has been recently
enforcing its regulations for the re-
moval of fences erected by cattlemeD
on public lands. Under the laws SOL
diers' widows have a right to make
entries without residence, but are re-
CURED to make improvements and
cultivate the lands.
1t is understood that the women who
made the entries are mostly Chicago
people, who are influenced by agents
OF cattlemen, with an agreement to
transfer the land to the latter by
leases, with the right of purchase.
