REPAIRED ELEPHANTS TAIL
Clever Work of Cincinnati Surgeon
 Avoids Amputation.

Clever Work of Cincinnati Surgeon
 Avoids Amputation.
 One of the neatest cases of surgery ever attempted was satisfactorily ac- complished the other day by Dr. M. E. Carter, a graduate of the Paris Col lege of Medicine, and also graduate of famous veterinary school in France.
 Recently, Kin, the famous Hagen back diving elephant, which had been imported recently from Germany by the Sells & Downs Show, seriously mashed bis tail
 The massive doors of the elephant car are frequently oiled to allow of their easily opening and closing. Without any warning the other night when the show was loading the el- ephant car it was struck by portion of the circus train. Kings tail was caught by the door when the concus- sion closed it, and the poor animals appendage was horribly bruised for about five inches. Amputation was thought necessary, and the services of the Cincinnati surgeon were impera- tive. Tn the meantime King allowed the wounded member to be bandaged and silently went through his per formance until the arrival of the doc- tor The fractured tail was soon re- paired and the knife was not used. King still munches his hay and re- ceives small invoices of peanuts from the boys and girls and acts up with great pleasure at the regular perform ances The celebrated herd, of which King is the leader, will be seen here with the great Sells & Downs Show Saturday, October 4.

VICTORIOUS WILL GET SESSIONS OF COURT
 OF APPEALS. MT. Clayton Unsuccessful in Effort to Have Montgomery's Claim Recognized - The Fight
 Will Be Continued.

Washington. June I.-(Special.)-The chances of legislation providing that at least one term of the Civil Court of Ap- peals of the Fifth Circuit. be held at Montgomery. were probably killed today when the House Judiciary Committee rem dered a favorablc report on the Senate bill providing for the holding of a term of the Court in question in Atlanta.
 Representative Fleming of Georgia, had charge of the latter bill and when he called it in the Judiciary Committee Rep- resentative Clayton proposed to amend by adding d provision directing that a term of the Court be held in Montgom- cry. Representative Lanham of Texas, who wants a term of the Court held at Fort Worth. made a similar attempt to amend. Both were unsuccessful.
 MT. Fleming stated that he had no ob- jections to the Court sitting in both Tex as and Alabama, but that he did object to having his bill burdened by such amendments. In this connection he was upheld by the Committee, and a favor able report was ordered on the Atlanta bill.
 The members of the Alabama delega- tion will continue to fight the matter and will endeavor to have the claims of Montgomery recognized when the bill comes before the House,

HEART BEAT AFTER DEATH.
Pulsation Continued Eight Hours
 After Woman's Demise.

Chicago, June H.-Practically dead for eight and one-half hours, the heart of Bridget Dempsey. a patient in the Coun- ty hospital. has finally ceased beating All action of the respiratory organs of the woman had ceased and the physi- clans in attendance pronounced her dead.
 The heart action. which apparently had died away. grew stronger few moments afterward and injections of nitro-glyc- erine and other stimulants and artificial respiration were used, but Intellectually.
 Still the pusations of the heart con- tinued with regularity while the woman remained to all other indications lifeless Dr. J. H. Mustard, of the hospital staff. pronounced the case one of Landry S paralysis. one of the rarest diseases known to medical science. The disease is primarily paralysis of the respiratory or gans. which does not act immediately on the heart.
 The dead woman was 21 years of age and entered the institution two weeks ago to be treated for tubercular menin- gitis.

VETS HOME HELPED
CAMP HARDEE WILL TURN
 OVER MATERIALS.
All Donations Received Outside of Jefferson County By Camp Har- dee of Birmingham Will Go
 to Mountain Greek.

A statement was made yesterday by Captain J. M. Falkner. that Camp liar dee. U. c. v., of Birmingham of which Dr. T. B. Abernathy is commander. had donated to Camp Jeff Falkner of Mont gomery all of the materials subscribed to Camp Hardee from the different sec tions of the State. except those subscribed by the people of Jefferson County. These materials are to be used for the Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek.
 It will be remembered that two or three years ago an organization was effected in Birmingham. for the purpose of erecting a Confederate Veterans Home in Birm- ingham. Subscriptions for the building people in the various sections of the State. The arrangements for the carry ing out of this plan were not consum- mated and the Home was not built
 Recently a committee from Camp liar dee came to Montgomery and conferred with a committee from Camp Jeff Falk- ner. The committee from Camp Hardee. after some consideration, decided to recommend to Camp Hardee that all of the subscriptions to Camp Hardee from the different parts of the State, be turned over to Camp Jeff Falkner. except those subscribed by the people of Jefferson County.
 Camp Hardee passed favorably upon the recommendation of the committee and the announcement made yesterday by Captain Falkner means that still greater assistance has been extended the Moun- tain Creek Home.

CROP CONDITIONS FOR WEEK.
Corn Suffering for Rain-Cotton
 Grows Slowly.

Washington. June 17-The following is the Weather Bureaus weekly summary or crop conditions:
 Highly favorable temperature conditions prevailed during the week in the great corn States of the central valleys, the Central and West Gulf States suffering from excessive heat and the districts from the Upper Missouri Valley to the New England coast have experienced tempe ratules too low for favorable growth. The Lower Missouri and Upper Missis- sippi Valleys and the southern portion of the Upper Lake region, wherein previ- GUS weeks farm work has been inter rrpted by heavy rains. have received additional heavy rains, and crops in por- tions of these districts are much in need of cultivation.
 In Kentucky, Tennessee and generally through the Middle and South Atlantic States. corn is doing well, but is suffer ing from drought in the Central and Western Gulf States and is being cut for fodder in portions of Texas. Winter wheat has made generally favorable progress during the past week. further improvement being reported in the Ohio Valley and Lake region.
 Harvest is about finished in the Caro- linas. Tennessee and in Northern and Central California.
 The oat crop has advanced favorably and is in promising condition.
 Ove' the northern portions of the west ern and central districts and generally throughout the eastern portion of the cotton belt. cotton has experienced gen. orally favorable conditions. although lice are causing injury in portions of South Carolina and Georgia. Over the south ern portion of the central districts and throughout Texas the crop has made slow growth; lice infest many of the fields in Mississippi and Louisiana and rain is now urgently needed in these dis tricts.
 The crop is generally we'll cultivated throughout the cotton belt.

Lack of Scent in Birds.
Outing.

Outlng.
 Animals follow their noses with un- erring instinct. A dog identifies his mas ter by smelling him. goat picks her kid from an enclosure of hundreds with her nose. After separation COW is never satisfied with her calf until she has thoroughly smeiled it. The feathered family is so deficient as to smell and taste that they go anywhere and eat anything. I have seen birds contentadly bi ooding about slaughter houses and sew CT discharges where the air was so con- taminated that my horse would turn up it's nose. draw it's lips back from It's teeth and sroan. and I could only secure my material by working with a cloth dipped in disinfectant bound over my lips and Costrils. Tho birds eat unspeakable things. It is nothing to find them raking the river banks for worms at the ve'y mouth of a sewer discharge. Some of our golden-noted, gayly-plumaged birds. that have been sung by poets and painted by artists, may be found in the fields complacently picking the undigested corn from the droppings of the herds they follow. Beyond all question the birds have sight and the animals scent. but where each is defective in one of these senses it seems compensated for by the greater degree in which it possesses the other.

DR. GREGORY CALLED ADAMS STREET CHURCH SEEKS BALTIMORE PREACHER. Prominent Baptist Minister Has the Call Under Consideration and
 He May Succeed Rev.
 William D. Gay.

Rev. o. F. Gregory, D. D., pastor of the Broadway Baptist Church of Balti- more, Md, has been called by the con- gregation of the Adams Street Baptist Church to fill the pastorate made vacant by the resignation of Rev. W. D. Gay.
 Last Wednesday the congregation of the church met in convention for the purpose of calling a pastor. and a resolu- ton was drawn up and passed authoriz- ing the calling of pr. Gregory.
 pr. Gregory is a prominent minister in both the Northern and the Southern division of the Baptist Church. He holds the responsible position of secre- tary of the Southern Baptist Convention. The whole congregation of the Adams Street Church is said to be in favor of calling Dr. Gregory. He was in Mont gomery a short while ago and filled the pulpit of Rev. Charles A. Stakely. D. D.. pastor of the First Baptist Church to churches.
 Dr. Gregory Is a man of profound learning and is an able preacher. He Is known as a great traveller. having been several times abroad.
 He is a man of perfect health, and is at present. at the zenith of his powers. It is very probable that he will accept the call although the Committee on Finances has not made him final proposition as to salary.
 The Adams Street Church has been without a pastor since the resignation of Rev. W. D. Gay some months ago. The church has one of the largest congrega- tions in the city. and has played promi- nent part in the religious work of Mont gomery.
