GIVES OUT STATEMENT WHEN ASKED AS TO NEWSPAPER RE. PORTS THAT HE WILL RUN FOR GOVERNOR.

Many Alabama papers are referring to former Governor Jospeh F. Johston as If he were an announced candidate for the gubernatorial nomination: and not a few intimate that he will run for Governor and afterwards try to secure Senator Pettus place.
 Asked yesterday about these newspaper references the ex-Governor said:
 T do not care to say anything about politics or the political situation. other than that I am not candidate for nor do desire any office. When I have any thing to say l will say it over my own signature. That will prevent any mis- understanding.
 q do not believe the white people ap- prove the new constitution, and I am sure that a vast majority of the white Democrats condemn the outrageous fraud that fastened it upon the state. hardly

Next Tuesday night Birmingham is to have a rare treat indeed in Harold Bauer, the greatest piano virtuoso in America. This famous artist will give recital at the Jefferson Theatre, using a Mason & Hamlin piano, and no lover of music can afford to be absent when the performance begins
 Bauer comes here under the auspices of the F. E. Forbes Piano Company of which MT. J. H. Holcombe is vice presi- dent and manager and but for this con- cerns desire to help in elevating the musical taste of the community and its business pluck, Birmingham would have been passed by.

Gen. Scurry'S Mission.

The arrival here of Adiutant
General Scurry, of Gov. Savers
staff, gives rise to some speculation
as to the object of his visit to
Brownsville. The editor this morn
ing called on Gen. Scurry and ask
ed if he would enlighten the read
ers of THE HERALD on the subject,
to which the general replied that
he is here to investigate some
charges against some of the State
Rangers stationed here, which were
preferred by Cecil Lyon, chairman
of the state republican executive
committee, who made complaint to
Governor Savers on behalf of citi-
zens of Cameron county. Just why
Mr.. Lyon was called on to perform
this service for those citizens who
feel themselves aggrieyed at the
presence OF the rangers here, Gen.
Scurry is unable to explain. 1t is
safe to say that the greater proper
ton of ''citizens" of the county
knew nothing OF any petition to
Al Lyon to interfere in Cameron
county affairs, nor can they under
stand By what right he does 50.

Shooting ARRAY,
Julian Cortez Shot and Seriously
Wounded In a Quarrel.

Yesterday afternoon about three
o'clock, Julian Cortez and Ponciano
Guaiardo, two we'll known Mexicans
of this county, who are brothers-in-
law, met on the Alice road about
seven miles from Brownsville,
and got into a quarrel. Both drew
their pistols and fired, with the re-
suit that Cortez received three
wounds, one of which may prove
fatal Guajardo also received a
slight scalp wound on one side of
the head. The latter rode to town
and surrendered to arrest. lie
says that Cortez first attacked him,
and that he acted in self defense.
Guajardo is a member of the local
police force, and bad gone to the
country to get an OK, which he was
driving when he met Cortez. The
quarrel was about a family matter
involving the ownership of some
land. There was one witness of the
ARRAY.
Cortez was brought to town for
surgical aid, and DR.. F. J. Combe
attended him, The doctor reports
that he has three bullet wounds,
one in the right side of the face,
ranging downward, one in the left
leg above the knee, and one in the
right leg just above the ankle. He
also received a blow over the head.
His condition appears to be very
critical. He is about thirty-fve
years old, and has wife and chill
dren.

MONKEYS ARE CLEVER.
Stories of simians That Learned from
Men How to Perform Some Very
Smart Tricks.

Monkey cleverness has long been fa-
nous. They are past masters in
the delicate use of their fingers.
A It'll was won't to steal speci-
men insects from the cabinet
in which they were kept. A mona
could pick a lock, undo a knot, or take
off ring. Livingstone's Soko was just
as smart with fingers and thumb. A
macaco opened boxes, and marmoset
turned over the leaves of book which
it pretended to read. A squirrel mon
key which disliked tobacco used to
whip it's masters cigars out of his
mouth. There once was gorilla in
the zoo at Dresden which would take
off its keepers boots and put them on
again. A capauchin removed the
hinges of the door of its cage by ex-
tracing the nails and screws out Of
the wood. In Benares, where the mon
keys are spoiled" they play all sorts
of tricks on passers=by, besides pelting
them with missiles. Even the orang-
utan has condescended to unite the
knots in his chain. The monkeys that
act as detectives in Monkeydom must
have very busy time of it.

Bowel Trouble In Fowls.

'Bowel trouble" says the Country
Gentleman, sis frequent in some
poultry yards during the hot season.
In most cases 1t is preventable. Foul
drinking water, putrid meat and sour
food all tend to produce diarrhea in
the flock. Observe strict cleanliness
in the houses and yards, and give the
birds only pure food and water. Plow
or dig over the runs frequently, SOW
them down to rye or other grain and
so keep the ground sweet. Foul runs
are prolific source of disease. Keep
the grit and charcoal box full, so that
the birds may have free access to
them. Remember that one keep
clean is worth many clean ups Do
not feed meat food too heavily while
the weather is hot, and be sure that
the fowls have plenty of fresh green
food or a clean grass run. Don't over
feed. Quarantine all new arrivals"

USING THE SMOKER.
Upon Its Proper HfanipuIation Ne
Dends the ProatabIeness Of the
Bees and hives.

No one should be without a bee
smoker even if they have but one col
ony Of bees. Good manipulation Of the
bees and hives depends upon smoker.
The smoker in your hands when work.
ing with the bees always makes you
the master, while without it the bees
are usually boss. The smoker is the
beginners sure guide to success, If he
acquaints himself with the proper use
Of it. There are many different styles
and makes Of bee-smokers, but they all
answer the purpose very well. Asmok-
er will cost all the way from so cents
to $3.50, but the cheapest will let you
out of many difficulty with the bees
Fuel to be used in smokers may con
sist of cotton rags, shavings, but de-
cayed wood that is well dried is per
haps the best.
The beginner is apt to use the smok-
er too severely at first, and finally ex'
perience will teach him to use it spar.
ingly. 1t is not only useless to smoke
bees too much, but it is damaging to
their best welfare at any time. 0c-
casionally we find a very vindictive
colony that requires severe smoking
but this is exceptional, and not the
rule by any means. It is best to try at
first to handle the colony without
smoke at all, but If they resist use but
little smoke at first, and in most cases
a very small amount will answer much
better than severe smoking. I have
seen colonies driven into a fighting
mood just because they had received
too much chastising in the way of Sc
we're smoking. There are seasons Of
the year that bees are more gentle thar
at other times, and while they will al
low themselves to be handled without
making any resistance at all during
the season they are gathering honey
at other times they will promptly re
bel.
After the close Of the honey season
they become very irritable and usu
ally smoke must be used to put then
in condition for handling. 1t is best t.
modest them as little as possible aftel
this time, other than see that each col
ony is in proper condition, and llhav'
