PREPARING FOR A
 BIG OPENING DAY
MANAGEMENT OF STATE FAIR HAS ENGAGED TROUPE OF cow
 BOYS AND INDIANS ALSO Li7-
 ERATPs GRAND MILITARY BAND

The Alabama state fair opens in Bir- mingham on October g. and great prepa- rations are being made by the manage ment for the opening. One of the best features during the fair will be the broncho busting and roping contests by the cowboys and Indians, garbed in their blankets and feathers. President Krebs says of this aggregation, which he saw last week at Ranch 1Q1, Oklahoma Ter ritory, end where he received signal houors from the chiefs of the Ponca triLe:
 Ut is one of the greatest shows l ever saw and is a revelation of the skill and prowess of the cowboys, who are manly men, full of courage and daring. MT. Brewer, one of these cowboys, holds the medal as the worlds champion for -oping steers. This feat has been accomplished in 1872 seconds, and Is one of the most exciting performances imaginable. l am sure that this aggregation of cowboys, wild Indians, and broncho busters will prove highly entertaining to the people of Birmingham and the state. It affords just the proper amount of excitement to these who are interested in the perform ances of these sturdy heroes of the plains and a visit to the tepees of the Indians, who will be the guests Of the fair association during the fair. will rrove very instructive and entertaining to those who are interested in these wards of the nation"
 All horse lovers will be pleased to hear that Eugene Fies, superintendent of the races, left last night for Lexington. Kyy to engage some fine trotters for the races, wfic will play a very important part to a large number of visitors to the fair, and it is the aim Of the association to please all classes of amusement lovers.
 The fair association is aiso delighted at being able to close a contract with the Liberati Grand Military Band and Con- cert company. Libsrat; is acknowledged to be the greatest living concert virtuoso, and VIII be heard at each concert. The vocal soloist for this engagement Is Miss Kathleen hlarer, a soprano of great abil- ity and reputation, who will also be heard ct each concert This band this season played one or more weeks at the follow ing cities Philadelphia, Columbus, O., Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Dallas, Tex. At the close of the fourteen weeks engagement of the band at Wash ington park, Philadelphia, this season, the management made Signor Liberati present of check for $500 and offered him a life contract.

26 PEDDLERS PAY
 CITY A LICENSE
THEY CANNOT STAND IN ONE PLACE AND DO BUSINESS, BUT MUST KEEP MovINe-LIcENsE IS $6 A MONTH.

Should any of the peddlers doing busi- ness on the streets of Birmingham be brought before Judge feagin on a charge Of not moving after making sale at one place, as their itinerant license provides. they will in all probability be fined heav- fly. The matter has been called to his attention and he stated yesterday after noon that they should be arrested if they make stand in front of any place and stay there several hours selling goods
 Judge Feagin says that their licenses are such that they have not the right to stand in front of the place of business and run in opposition to te merchant who rents 1t. He said if they do it they should be arrested and brought before him.
 There are eighteen peddlers doing bus mess in Birmingham for which they pay a license of $6 per month. These do not have long and interesting talks with which to draw the crowds. There are eight other peddlers who have stands and sell patent medicines and similar things. but they talk and have negro minstrels for the sake of drawing people. They have to pay s6 a week.
 The twenty-six peddlers sell all varie ties of notions from candy to patent medicines which are guaranteed to cure all ills.

 The action of tho judge has received more favorable comment from the press and public of Alabama than any move made by a public officer in many months There is hardly a paper in the state which has not commented editorially on the matter. and all endorse Judge Feagin in his action.
