I'VE never found the alleys in a worse
condition from a sanitary standpoint"
said Mayor Drennen in speaking of the
recent inspection made by him and the
Sanitary Commission.
There has been much complaint about
delay in removing garbage, and l find the
complaints are not without foundation.
In my report to the Board of Alder
men recommended that the present plan
of letting out this work by contract be
changed and that the city do it's own
work of this kind. This recommendation
was referred to the Sanitary Commission,
which has not made a report yet.

ALA. REPUBLICANS
 IN WASHINGTON
CALL AT WHITE HOUSE TO ASK
 ROOSEVELT NOT TO APPOINT
 SUCCESSOR TO VAUGHAN UNI
 TIL AFTER ELECTION.

Washington, October 4.-(Special.)-W. I. Wellman, chairman of the Alabama republican executive committee, national committeeman J. W. Dimick and former congressman T. H. Aldrich arrived in Washington this morning to see the Pres ident and request that a successor to William Vaughan be not appointed until after the election. They believe an ap- pointment at this time would not be for the best interest of the new party and will urge the President to act accord ingly.
 The three state leaders called upon the President and Attorney General Knox today to state their case. but were un- able to see them owing to the press of other business. Later they called upon Postmaster General Payne, who is un- derstood to be favorable to their plans. They also saw Secretary Cortelyou, who promised to make their wishes known to the President It is not known here what the President will conclude to do, but the impression of MT. Wellman Is that he will be willing to delay the mat ter since this seems to be the wish of the entire republican organization.

St. Louis. October 4-Robert Mcclure Snyder was convicted of bribery in the criminal court tonight and was sentenced to five years Imprisonment in the state penitentiary after the jury had consd cred for fifty minutes its verdict on the case which had occupied an entire week in presentation. The jurors had retired after almost four hours of arguments by the attorneys for the defense and the state.
 No bondsmen were present when Shy der's conviction was announced, the de- fense having apparently been confident that its testimony concerning Snyder's residence in Kansas City would convince the jury that he was entitled to the bene- fits of the statute of limitation
 The incarceration of the convicted man seemed to be imminent when two of his attorneys Judge Henry s. Priest and Morgan Jordan signed his appeal bond for s25r000 securing his release until the term of court commencing Monday, Early in this term Snyder will be sem fenced and motions made for appeal and a new trial filed.

Excavations are being made on the Bes- semer branch of the Jefferson county trunk sewer, that being the place the contractors decided would be best to com- mence work. The work will soon be un- der way and 1t is believed that it will be finished within year.
 Work will be commenced soon at other ponts on the line and all will be pushed as fast as possible. There has been some delay in commencing the work owing to the contractors desiring the bonds to be paid to them at different times from the original contract
 The rights of way for the East Lake Ensley branch of the sewer are being ob- tained and as soon as completed the con- tracts will be let and the work will com mence on that. This branch is not as long as the Birmingham-B -Bessemer branch and will require much less work

No other remedy has received the un- qualified endorsement or so many dis tinguished American citizens as 2eruna The pharmacopoeia does not furnlh catarrh remedy so well known.

bined. It is exactly as Congressman Goodrich of Oklahoma says "Peruna is not only a cure for catarrh, but also a most vigorous tonic''
 These two facts are beyond contro- yersy. Any remedy that operates to tone up the whole nervous system will also operate benefoially upon catarrh.
 Catarrh is simply a fabby condition of the mucous membrane This fiabb,- ness has been brought about by expo sure to cold which finally depresses the nerves supplying the mucous membrane.

No JaII Matron.-The officials around the city jail are looking for the police matron who was promised by the city council several months ago, but who has never been seen. The trouble seems to be that the city fathers have failed to elect any one to the position and no one has volun- teered to come. Now that the jail has been repaired and the women prisoners are in separate apartments it is probable some further action will be taken by the council.
