The following items were written
in a fit of abstraction-or some other
sort of a fit, brought on by the dearth
of news.
We wish TO state that Charley
Hickok isn't an old bachelor, even If
he is patching.
We are reliably informed that the
bicycle belonging to Rev. Brundage
has lost its lung power.
Ed. Gould got off a rather bright
thing the other day. He sat down
on a lighted cigar which some one
had carelessly laid in "A chair.
Robert Dyer does not lay any
claims to being a vocalist, but Just
the same his rendition of MARY had
a Little Lamb" leaves nothing to be
desired.
We met Miss Rowen on the street
and she wishes us to state that if she
keeps on improving she expects to be
out soon. just how she could be "'out"
more than she is now we are unable
to say.
DIR. Burke was asked the other day
who it was who swallowed the whale.
He calmly replied, "Why, Jonah"
We are wondering now if the doctor
thinks it proper for a man to marry
his widows niece.
The head of a family remarked in
our presence the other day that a ba-
by should never be spanked on a full
stomach. Will Walker who was
standing near, looked thoughtful,
and remarked that he didn't see why
anyone should want to spank a ba-
by there anyway.
We ambled into the post office one
day this week is search of news and
asked McDougal if he had ever no
ticed that the picture of "a man had
never appeared on an American coin,
nor that of a woman on a postage
stamp. He remarked that it hadn't
occurred to him, but said that must
account for the fact that we always
licked the stamp and squeezed the
coin.

An Acre Of Plastering.

George w. Drinkard, who il
now at work plastering the add.
ton to the Hotel Wolf, will have
spread about 5000 yards of mortar
when he gets through there. II
you wish to know how much 5000
yards are you can form some idea
when we tell you it is IA little over
an acre in dimension. Mr.. Drink
ard is having success i'll his work
and says he would rather stay
here and help us make a great
state of Wyoming, than to remain
in Missouri and run the risk of
that state making a great man of
him. Pretty good idea.

One-Eyed Charlie Jackson at

EYE LOST IN THE SERVICE
Chicken Roosts From Birmingham to East Lake Bear Witness to the Negro's Prowess-A
 Dozen Charges.

With record of a dozen charges of grand larceny, in which over 1000 chick ems were stolen. against him, Charlie Jackson. negro, waS ianGed in the county jail yesterday morning about 8 o'clock by Policeman Grey and Deputy Sheriff Love, who have been after him for several months.
 Charlie is known as the one-eyed chick en thief of Birmingham, and the roosts of many citizens will bear witness that he Is an expert of the most finished type. month that some report was not made of a chicken roost being raided, and al- ways with success. The raids were from the western end of South Highlands to the far extremity of East Lake, including Shades Valley.
 Charlie has only one eye; that is the left The right optic was shot away by a res ident of AVondale The negro was in his rocst filling his bag with the choicest fowls when the owner appeared in the door with a shotgun. As a result the negro lost one eye and his face was badly dsfgured. He was car ried to St. Vinccnt's Hospital, but he was allowed to leave there when well.
 The negro, 1t Is alleged, has stolen something over 1000 chickens. Of these a large number came from South High lands and Shades Valley, but 1t is not known how many. In Woodlawn, it is claimed, he stole about 250, they being from the roosts of Policeman Grey, MT. Woods, MT Newman and MT. Jenkins. In Gate City he was not so stingy. He left a few on the roost and carried away about 200. North Birmingham suffered heavily. When Charlie left there the last time 800 of the feathered tribe had gone to glory. East Lake complains of about 400 missing birds
 The negro, 1t is said, would steal the fowls, go a short distance in the woods, make a fire, heat water and pick the chickens. They were then sold In Birm- ingham to a dealer, so the police claim. The negro who brought them to the city and sold them has been arrested and a true bill found against him before the grand jury.
 Policeman Grey had warrant sworn out for Charlie some time ago. The negro has been out of the city for some weeks waiting for the police to forget him. Sev- eral times since he returned about a week ago, the mounted policemen have been called to catch him, but each time he escaped. He was located yesterday morn ing by the police and deputies and they landed him safe and sound, only minus an eye.

 The clouds aided the sun. They covered the earth like a blanket, kept in what heat there was and let in more from above. There was breeze, but it felt as if 1t had made trip over the parched sands of desert. It came from the southwest. No one would complain if it would go back from whence it came.
 The parks were well filled last night People sought refuge from the heat and found 1t to some extent at the lakes. Lit tie relief was felt even as late as mid night. The earth was sun baked and 1t did not cool until the early hours. At o'clock last night the thermometer was 94. officially. while many complained the weather man was stuffing the weather box Unofhcially at Il o'clock the mer- cury was still well up in the eighties.

TO START WORK AS
 SOON AS POSSIBLE
OFFICIALS OF WATER COMPANY LOOK OVER GROUND WITH A VIEW OF LOCATING FILTRATION PLANTs-MAY BE DELAYED.

President J. II. Purdy of the Birming- ham Water Works Company, accompa- nied by Superintendent George Ryder MT. A. M. Lynn and an engineer visited tho reservoirs of the company yesterday with view of locating the proposed fil- tration plants. Work will be begun on these just as soon as the plans are final ly adopted and the material can be pro- cured.
 It has not been definitely decided by the officials as to what capacity filter will be put in. It will be a mechanical filter, however, of the best and most modern de- sign and the kind used by the most i'm proved Americans plants. Exactly how long it will take to put In the filtration plant will depend on the ability of the structural steel manufacturers to furnish the necessary material. This will be entirely of steel but the amount of orders now on hand at the various manufact- ories is so great that work of this kind Is liable to delay
 The city officials are pleased at the offer of the Water Works Company to filter the water, and express their qualification and appreciation of the liberal conduct of the company. It relieves the city of the necessity Of a long legal fight in the courts, and above all means that an ab- solutely pure supply of water will soon be furnished the citizens.

large number of wild, crazy-headed point CTS and settlers in every community which want to run birds railroad trains, horses and everything else they see moving. and when this class of performers see a Jack Rabbit for the first -ime they think he Is Just my size" and they go after him good and strong, but they soon find that their claims to speed were not well found- ed for in nine cases out of ten the rabbit makes them look like the proverbial thir- ty cents.
 Third Race, Hound Dogs-Now we get the real music of the afternoon. When a good pair of old time hounds open up after the rabbit the sure-enough sport begins The size of the rabbit some times puzzles the hounds as they are not quite certain whether they are chasing a fox or a fawn. but they soon find out that they have got to step lively If they want to keep up with him and when they go after him in full cry they never fail to arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.
 Fourth Race Hound Bitchcs-As a rule the bitches are better runners for a short chase than the dogs. They are full of vim. and running and seem to start off with determination to make very short work of the long-eared gen tleman from the western sage-brush They also make more noise than the males and taken altogether their races are more enjoyable than those of their brothers.
 Fifth race. Just Dogs This Is where we get an aggregation which never falls to be enjoyable. In every community there are dogs of real merit whose an cestors did not come over in the ,Cauli- flower nor land on Plymouth Church, but If they have no bluebooded pedigree they get there just the same and often some of the best runners wc get are from this class.
 Sixth race, Free for Alr'-In this race we have the grand finale of the after noon's sport l he judges select the three dcgs that have made the best showing and they race together for championship honors and the silver trophy It Is a 'C1 as you please all carry weight for age," and the devil take the hindmost. The dogs seem to realize that theve is a special honor attached to their being selected to race in this event and never fail to do their very best
