STATE CAMPAIGN WILL
 BE STARTED THIS WEEK

mer years to get things under headway. The democratic primary this year has gotten the party in better condition than in former years for a state campaign, and do not consider that we have as much work ahead. We will not need so much time"
 Chairman Lowe was asked if he would undertake to consolidate the state and congressional campaigns. and in reply said:
 T have not positively decided This is the first time in the history of the state that the state and national elections have fallen upon the same date. I have not yet conferred with Governor Jelks. and will not announce any definite action un- iii have conferred with him.
 Tn so far as the state and congress sional contests are concerned. do not consider that there Is a question of doubt but what we will re-eleet all nine con gressmen from the state. and do not be- lieve that as many as ten county demo- cratic tickets are in danger"
 It is not improbable that all the state and congressional democratic nominees will be called into conference in Birming- ham during the week by Chairman Lowe. He has not yet decided upon the rerson- nel of the campaign committee, and 1t Is not probable that he will so decide until after a conference with the candi- dates.
 It may be stated with positiveness that the state campaign will be conducted from Birmingham

MAYOR DRENNEN ALSO FAvoRs GATES AT GRADE cRossINes AS A PRACTICAL SOLUTION OF THE PRoRLEM-THElR STATEMENTS

Mayor W. M. Drennen and President Robert Jemison of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company stated vest sterday that 1t would be much safer to pedestrians. vehicles and street cars if gates were placed at all grade cross- ings of the street car tracks and the rail- road tracks. MT. Jemison says the street car company is willing and ready at any time to do it's part in the matter, and that the company has conferred with the railroads relative to placing an overhead bridge across the railroads at the sloss furnaces. Mayor Drennen said:
 ''The question of regulating grade crossings in this city is a difficult one to solve, but the information that I have before me goes to show that gates as a rule are used at such crossings in other cities the size of Birmingham and larger.
 While the gates would discommode travel to a certain extent. especially on

CONTRACT FOR NEW
 SEWER IS CHANGED
CONTRACTORS TO FINISH WORK SOONER THAN FIRST AGREED AND COMMISSION TO PAY OVER BoND5 IN $1oo,ooo LOTS.

Should the questions at issue between the Jefferson county sanitary commis- sion and the contractors for the trunk sewer be settled, as 1t Is expected they will, the sewer will be completed several months In advance of the time previously agreed upon. A meeting of the commis- sion was held yesterday morning in the office of Major Frank Y. Anderson to discuss the matter
 At this meeting the contractors an- nounced that they had practically made arrangements for dsposng of the S3oO,- GOO bond issue which they are to receive for the work They also made request that the commission change the time of delivering these bonds from monthly to six months and one year, they having arranged to dispose of s100,000 of the bonds at once. $1OO,OOO in six months and s10o 600 in a year.
 They claim the work will not take as long as they at first expected and that by the commission granting this request they will be able to complete 1t sooner than they would otherwise.
 The commission has practically agreed to this proposition provided the work can be finished sooner than first contracted for The time. the original contract calls for the work to be completed is June 1. 1904. It is believed the work can be completed in a year and the contract will be modified to this effect and the bonds paid over in $100,000 lots.

He came to the surface and tried to get out of the water, but the heavy undercurrent due to yester- days rain, sweeping into the mouth of the sewer. sucked him under in spite of efforts made by his companions and a negro named Benjamin Franklin to rescue him.
 Notified Chief Mulln.
 The other boys at once notified the neighbors and the dead boys mother. Chief Mullen was telephoned for. He jumped into his fire wagon and went to the scene at a gallop. He arrived within three or four minutes after the boy sank. As soon as he learned the details he got in his wagon and drove as rapidly as possible to the mouth of the sewer at Fourteenth street and Sec ond avenue. He had been waiting there saw the boys body come out of the mouth of the sewer He jumped into the water, pulled the body out and took it to headquarters in his buggy.
 It could not, have been more than fifteen minutes after the boy fell in the pool before Chief Mullen took the body from the mouth of the sewer. During that time the boy must have travelled more than two miles in the sewer. The course of the sewer Is very crooked and it makes a number of turns at right angles. From tile mouth at Third alley and Twenty street it runs down to Fifth avenue. down Fifth avenue to Twentieth street, down Twentieth street to Fourth avenue, down Fourth avenue to Nineteenth street. down Nineteenth street to Third avenue. down Third ave- nue to Eighteenth street. then into Sec ond avenue, finally ending at Second avenue and Fourteenth street

 An Eye Witness.

Maggie Hits, negro woman who lives in one of the houses just short distance from the mouth of the sewer, was sit ting on the poarch. She saw the accident and made an attempt with others to save the boy. She gives the following account of the accident:
 ''I was sitting on my poarch watching the boys wading. The little boy who was drowned was in front. He walked on top of the low wall which keeps the ground from washing away. and stepped into the pool, evidently not knowing 1t was deeper than the rest of the water. He sang once and when he came up the first time we saw he was drowning and sev- eral tried to save him. He came up twice more and the third time he went under he was carried down by the under cur rent which goes Into the sewer. It was the under current which drew him down each time"

thing smaller at the place where the boy was drowned. It Is the large sewer used to carry off the water from the eastern portion of the city after big rains.
 Chief Mullen made the following state ment yesterday after he returned to de- partment headquarters:
 "A woman telephoned me and I went in my wagon to the mouth of the sewer. knew that If he could go in the mouth he would not stop until he came out at the other end as the sewer gets larger constantly. drove as rapidly as possi- ble to the mouth of the sewer and had been there about five minutes when saw the body come out sprang into the water, which was above my waist and reached the boy. The water was SC strong that 1t washed me backwards at first The body then sank and I had to reach under the water to find it. The boy was dead when I caught hold of him."

VOLCANO DIAMONDS.
Gems of Fine Quality Are Sometime,
Found Amidst the Rocks and
Lava Erupted.

Late London mail advices convey the
information that De Beers are about
to send an expedition to the scene of
the recent volcanic disturbances in the
West Indies to look for diamonds, re-
ports the New York Times.
1t is recalled that few years ago,
some large octahedron crystals were
found in Barbados which were later
identified as white spinels, which are
frequently unearthed where diamonds
are, although by themselves, and even
when colored, are often very valuabl
The French crown jews contain a
splnel ruby of 56A carats, and another
which was valued at $4,000 francs in
1871, one of 2-5 and another of 3N
carats, being each valued at 300 francs.
Small spinels fetch from six francs
to IL francs per carat; specimen
stones fetch even more. A stone that
New Guinea gold prospector recently
exchanged for bottle of saccharine
pellets was sold in Sydney, N. S. W.,
for $500.
A popularity of the spinel is that,
no matter what be the color of the
stone, the light which is reflected
from the depth of the gem is always
pale yellow. A blue spinel has been
consigned as sapphire, and was re-
turned to the consignor, who had it
cut and received more for it than it
would have made had it really been
sapphire. A spinel collected by DR..
Heron is said to weigh 40 pounds.
When spinel crystals are very fine they
are considered gems, and De Beers
think, having been found in large
quantities in St. Lucia, it is not I'M
likely that they will be found in Mar
Unique and ST. Vincent.

Our Influence in Congress.

The state press is full of congratu-

gressmen in securing appropriations
for their constituents in the way of
public buildings. OF the appropria-
lions reported by the congressional
committee Iowa gets $500, 900, but not
a dollar of it comes to the Fourth dis.
trict. Major Lacey for his distric,
has received "a 900 for fixtures for the
public buildings at Oskaloosa, $4,000
for ground atOttumwa and additiona
building which will soon follow. Thos
Hedge who has been in congress but
three years secured 100000 for repairs
for Burlington. Judge Smith who
has served only one term gets $4,000
for Atlantic. Centerville, a town OF
five thousand people down in Col.
Hepburn's district gets $4,000 for a
new public building. Iowa City, in
Congressman Rumple's district, a
man IN congress only one term gets
$4,000 Bob Cousins, congressman
who does something more than crate,
secured for Marshalltown $1,000.
Judge Connors, new man in the
