BASKET OF FRUIT
 SENT H. B. PARRISH
TRIED TODAY BEFORE JUSTICES . OF THE PEACE ABERNATHY
 AND BENNERs ON CHARGE OF
 KILLING GEORGE S. LEONARD.

The preliminary trial Of Hollis B. Par rish, charged with the killing of George s. Leonard, a brickmason, will be heard before Justices of the Peace Abernathy and Benners this morning at 9 o'clock in the Criminal court room
 The state and defense will probably be ready and 1t is expected there will be no delay. The trial was set for Saturday, but was postponed at the request of the defendant
 Parrish will be tried on a charge of murder. While Leonard was under ar rest by Policeman Nix because of some loud words and alleged cursing on the Owenton car, Parrish, who was on the car. reached around the policeman and shot Leonard in the heart, killing him almost instantly.
 TWO warrants were issued for him, one by each of the justices who will sit on the case. Parrish had many callers at the jail yesterday. and received several baskets of flowers, fruit and food. He states that he is feeling well, and ex- pressed himself as hopeful as to the outcome of his trouble. He seems con fident that he will be allowed bail at the preliminary trial this morning.

GRANNY DID IT. Knew the Food That Furnished Power

A grandmother, by studying the proper selection of food, cured herself of stom- ach trouble and severe headaches. Later on she was able to save her little grand daughter because of her knowledge of food
 She says. When baby was five months old she was weaned because of the severe illness of her mother She was put on a prepared baby food but soon lost flesh and color, became hollow eyed and fretful We changed her food sev- eral times but with no permanent bene- fit. Ot least the stomach rebelled entire- ly and threw up nearly everything she took. She would be wet with cold per- spiration after feeding and would cry piteously with pain. That is a danger ous condition for a small baby and in this extremity l remembered how beau tifully Grape-Nuts had agreed with me- and suggested we try the food for baby
 We began very carefully with 1t, giving two small teaspoonfus at feeding, soft ened with boiling water and fed in steri- lized milk, warmed. The experiment was d perfect success
 She has been on the food five weeks and can now eat other food. for the change in this brief time Is wonderful. She has gained over three pounds in weight, has rosy cheeks, bright eyes. and she has the appearance of a satisfactor- fly nourished and thriving child"
 The reason that Grape-Nuts will agree with adults and babies is that the starch of the cereals has been trans formed into grape sugar in the process of manufacture, and when introduced into the stomach it Is ready for imme- diate assimilation and does not tax the powers of the organs of digestion. The result is always beneficial and the food has saved thousands of lives.

WORKING TO GET
 GOOD RIFLE RANGE
PLAN IS TO GET ALL THE MILL TARY COMPANIES IN BIRMING- HAM TO TAKE PART IN ESTAB- LISHING THE RANGE.

In line with the recent movements to make the encampment at East Lake the permanent tenting grounds of the Ala bama National Guard are the efforts of the Jefferson volunteers 10 build fine rifle range near Woodlawn, which may be used not only by the companies of Bir- mingham, but all regiments in the state should the permanent camping ground be brought to East Lake
 The members of the National Guard are anxious for this, but they are even where they can practice shooting in or der to become as expert as members of the National Guard of other southern states.
 The plan is to get all the companies in Birmingham and vicinity to take part in the rifle range and contribute towards it's maintanence When this is done an effort will be made to get the state to take the range and put 1t in first-class order, measuring off the exact distances and keeping 1t in such form that 1t will always be ready for a company to come and spend week here practicing.
 A range has been found which IS apoue 500 yards long, and 1t can be cleared away to lengthen it another 200 yards. In this targets are being built every 1Ov yards, commencing at the 30O-yard mark. The first practice will be heio sometime this week by the Jefferson vofunteers, preparatory to sending a team of sharp shooters to Savannah to the interstate shoot there from August Z5 to 30.
 The Rifles have signified their intention of joining in the movement, and an eff fort is being made to get Troop D inter ested. There remains the Woodlawn com pany and the proposed company at East Lake. These may also be joined by the battery of artillery which Is being or ganized. This will make 800 men who can use the range all the time.
 During the encampments each company could spend several hours a day on the range practjcing. This would be of great assistance to the men and would also stimulate interest ir the National Guard Up to the present time there has been no range in the state which was access able to more than one company. The mat ter will be brought to the attention of the state officers, and they will be urged to use every means to make the range a state affair. This with the efforts to get a permanent camp ground at East Lake would easily make Birmingham the mill itary center of the state.

EVERY TONE WHO GAN
 TAKES SUNDAY REST
MAJORITY OF THE ClTYS POPU- LAYTON SEEKS RECREATION IN THE SUBURBS AND NElGHBOR- ING SUMMER RESORTS.

In the pursuit of rest and pleasure, a large part of Birmingham's population, from day laborer to banker, were yes terday scattered over the city, the su- burbs, the state and even the south.
 Large parties of men and women left Saturday and yesterday morning for the various summer resorts and springs throughout the surrounding country. A number went to Blount Springs; some to St. Clair; while others visited other re- sorts near by. A few went to far-away places to visit families spending the sum- mer away from home.
 In Birmingham a large per cent of the population spent the day on the busi- ness streets down town and at resorts in the suburbs In this vast crowd were many to whom the fare necessary for a trip to some resort was out of the ques- ton and they had to content themselves with what rest and pleasure could be ob- tained from a dime invested with the street railway company. There were many remaining in town who are kept here by personal ties Of one Kind or an other Added to these were some who had already taken vacations and some who simply love Birmingham too much to go away for even short time.
 TO the crowds of pleasure seekers East Lake offered the greatest attractions dur ing the afternoon and night and the iarB- est crowds were drawn to this resort During the afternoon concert was given at the park and at night sacred con cert and song service was given by mem bers of the East Lake Stock company and Calman's orchestra. Songs were rendered by Charles Smith. Jack Taylor. Miss Rus sell Miss Reed and others.
 North Birmingham. Avondale and Lake view parks all came in for their usual number of visitors, each attracting a crowd of no small proportions. A major ity of Birmingham's population escaped the heat rays for while at least yester- day and all were happier, more or less for their outing.

Account of Harry Wright Who Was
 Found Dead Here.

The Mobile Register gives the follow ing short history of Harry Wright, who was found dead in the woods near Bir- mingham several days ago:
 Harry Wright has some relatives here, one, Policeman George Curry, who is first cousin. Wright was convicted here on a charge of arson for setting fire to the Wheeler excelsior factory at Adams and Royal streets and was sentenced to serve four years. at hard labor. but was pardoned by the governor, as the crim- inal intent was not clearly shown. He had also been before the recorder sever al times on various charges of a minor character, but was dismissed each time. One case was where he punished a drunken sailor who had insulted a lady. He was a hard worker and a good one. being a worker in timber. He was never in trouble except when under the in- fuence of liquor and was a man who made warm friends and kept them. Wright was 2S years of age and lived with Curry He left Mobile Wednesday for Birmingham.
 Chief Soost received a telegram yester- day notifying him of the death and he informed Curry. Wright was mem her of a burial association here. The body will be brought to Mobile for bur-

Beet Pulp for Cows.

How much value is there in beet pulp
for feeding stock? With clover hay at
So per ton and bran costing $l6 per ton
how much would pulp be worth to feed
In connection with oat straw and grain
Indiana. T. l. FERRIS.
Beet pulp ought to be compared with
bran and clover hay as food for dairy
cows. That is, it ought not to be fed
in place of either, but should be used
with them. 1t is supplementary to
these foods and furnishes the succulent
part Of the ration. 1t is better to COM
pare it with corn silage or with roots of
some kind, for it is of the same nature.
Experiment stations have put value
on beet pulp equal to half that of corn
silage. Corn silage is usually estimated
at 81 per ton; then beet pulp would
have feeding value of 81 per ton. But
both of these feeds are of more value
than their chemical analysis would in
dicate, for they have a very marked
value in their succulency. Any one
knows that when a succulent food is
added to ration of dry foods there is a
marked improvement in the animal
The succulent food seems to keep the
digestive apparatus of the animal in
good condition and it enables the ami
NAL to assimilate more of the dry food
1t increases the digestive and assimila-
tive power Of the animal.
If we figure the value of wheat bran
and beet pulp by the amount of protein
in them we have the following values:
Bran contains 12 per cent of protein or
24O lbs to the tom at $40 per ton pound
of protein would cost about &c. Beet
pulp contains 8 per cent of protein or 10
lbs. per ton and therefore on this basis
would be worth about SOC per ton.
Beet pulp contains so much water
that in my opinion we cannot afford to
pay much for it If we have very long
haul. If it could be dried we could
much better afford to pay good price
for it, because the excessive cost of haul
ing would be eliminated largely.

MURDER AT sHAFTssuRG.
Sylvester Stevens Pounded to Death
With Stick of Wood. Calvin Linerd
in Jail.

IN jail.
Sylvester Stevens, a farmer whose
home is about two miles from Shafts
burg was killed on Sunday afternoon
at the home of Mrs George Snyder, one
half mile west of the village. CALVIN
Linerd, aged 23, Mrs. Snyders hired
man. is locked up at the county Jail,
charged with the deed. Linerd does
not deny beating Stevens over the head
with stick of wood, until the latter
fell unconscious. Stevens never recov-
cred the use of his faculties, and died
thirty hours later-Monday evening at
eight oclock-at his fathers home.
Mrs. Snyder parted from her husband
about two months ago, after some
trouble over their property. She was
left in possession of their fifty acre farm
and two little children. Linerd was
engaged shortly after as hired man.
According to Linerd's story, Stevens
came to the Snyder place Sunday after
noon slightly drunk and quarrelsome.
He openly made love to Mrs. Snyder,
urging her to elope with him. Ibis
was distasteful to Linerd, who was un-
doubtedly jealous of Stevens. The lat
ter was Mrs. Snyder's second cousin.
Stevens made frequent trips to the
cider barrel in the cellar, becoming
more quarrelsome and insulting to both
Linerd and the woman.
Linerd says Mrs. Snyder came out
where he was working, finally, and urg-
ed him to get Stevens away from the
cider barrel Mad with jealous rage,
he picked up heavy stick of stove
wood, descended to the cellar, where
Stevens was STOPPING over the cider
barrel, and stunned the man with
single blow. Then he struck the pros
trate man repeatedly, as was shown by
postmortem, for besides two jagged
wounds on Stevens face, his skull was
badly fractured, and there were several
blood clots on the brain.
When his victim struggled no more,
Linerd dragged Stevens upstairs and
threw him out of doors. The<unfortu-
nate man lay in the rain half an hour
before being removed to his fathers
house by Scott Shaft.
Linerd made no resistance when ar
rested Monday evening by Turnkey
John L. Curtis, and talked freely, evid-
emily trying to justify himself in his
own mind, to all who called. He was
not notified of Stevens death until
Tuesday morning, the officers wishing
to let the man incriminate himself by
his talk.

C. A. BYERLY,

In paper upon Michigan, read by
d. w. Briggs, of Saginaw, at the recent
meeting of the Bankers National Asso-
citation at New Orleans, the following
reference was made to the sugar beet
industry:
THE state has become world famous
in the cultivation of the sugar beet and
the manufacture of sugar therefrom.
In 1901 Michigan led by 400 per cent all
other states of the union in the number
of her sugar factories, and by 800 per
cent in the amount of capital invested
in the industry, having 2S factories
with capital investment of $14, 900, 900.
Two or three other factories have since
been added with proportionate in
crease of investment. The furnishing
of beets to these factories requires the
cultivation of over $50, 900 acres OF land,
and the result has been that in the past
three years more farm mortgages have
been liquidated from the proceeds Of
the beets raised on Michigan farms than
has resulted from the sale of any other
farm product produced from the same
number Of acres in Is years previous"
