Cyclists Report Fair Riding in tn
80 Country Around Minneapolis.

e. 49, u : ID,
-. Country Around Minneapolis.
Cyclists who have tried the roads
around Minneapolis: during the last two
weeks report that they are in very good
condition The rains of last week put the
paths in bad shape Sunday but the warm
weather of yesterday and to-day, it Is
thought, has restored them to good condi-
tion. ~ :...t-. .a-5
The ,Minnetonka path is good as far as
Minnetonka Mills, but beyond that point
lis in: very poor shape and most riders
prefer the road to the path -. #.
The Shakopee path provides good rid
ing, except in one or two points, where
the, high winds of this spring have moved
sections of the adjoining farms out upon
the path. -. - .s-,.l-ss,
The Anoka path is in excellent condi-
ton, and the people of Elk River have
started a movement to complete the path
between that city and Anoka.
The other roads generally are reported
in fair shape. r.

Tim Murphy.

Some fifteen years ago a young man sprang to the front In the theatrical world in limitations of famous actors, and for a while Tim Murphy was quoted as the greatest mimic on the American stage.
 While he gave marvellous impersona- tions of Booth, Barrett Mccullough, Mayo, Owen, Reymond and others. it probably did not dawn on him that he was in a small degree displaying the tal- ent of his innumerable models John Mackey, who was one of the favorite comedians of that period would remark that Murphy could initiate him better than he CMackey) could initiate himself, and 1t is said Niat once for sport Edwin Booth, Qncog) gave an imitation of him. not as good as Murphy. Since those days ''our' Tim has become a star and a good one. He has chosen for his work the unctious comedy and with credit fills the niche in the gallery of dramatic arts in turn held by Buckston, Owen and Ray mond. MT. Murphy supported by Miss Dorothy Sherrod and an excellent com pany will be seen at the Jefferson the are next Monday night in one of his most famous roles, Jason Green" in the comedy of "Old Innocence"

HUNTSVILLE
Demented Negro Who Entered Several
 Houses Dies In Jall.

Huntsville, September n.-Charlie O1ds, a demented negro, who entered several houses in North Huntsville last Saturday night and maltreated the women while the men were away from homo. and was afterwards shot and almost disem- boweled. died in the county jail last night. The negro one time in a frenzy tore the bandages from his wounds and had to be tied to the bed.
 The Anti-saloon league will very likely agitate the dispensary question in this county before the meeting of the next legislature. The organization will ask Madison county's representatives to allow the dispensary question to be voted on by the people. At their last meeting the anti-saloon people elected A. M. Booth president, vice Robert E. weathers, who has removed to Oklahoma.
 David Bowers, who died at Madison Tuesday evening at the age of 66 years, was one of five old men who resided until last year In the same community whose combined ages was 40 years. MT. Bowers was the third to die within the year. The two survIvors are in good health, and will probably live several years more.

NORTH BIRMINGHAM POSTOFFICE IS
 ROBBED
BURGLARS EFFECT ENTRANCE, BLOW oPE.s SAFE WITH NITRO cLYcERINE AND OBTAIN s25o. No TRACE OF ROBBERS.

The safe containing stamps, receipts and money of the North Birmingham postoffice was blown open and robbed of about $250 Wednesday night between o'clock and daylight It is supposed the burglars blew the safe open with nitro glycerine. and for that reason the au- thorlties believe the job was done by professionals. It Is also believed to be the game gerg which bored a hole through the rear wall of Fox Sons & Smith com panys store two nights previous.
 In opposition to the theory that it was a professional gang is the fact that the burglars did not have their own tAols, but used those taken from the black smith shop Of Robert Jones about three blocks from the scene of the burglary.
 Between 8 and O clock those living in the neighborhood of Twenty-first avenue and Twenty-sixth street, where the post office Is located, were awakened by the explosion but did not investigate the cause. Yesterday morning when Post master J. M. Smith opened the office he found the papers and large quantities of stamps scattered on the floor and the door of the safe blown from It's hinges, He at once notified the authorities. who procured bloodhounds and traced the burglars to. the compress near Ninth avenue and Twenty-first street. Here the trail was lost
 The burglars gained entrance to the store by boring holes through the panels of the front door and then breaking il out. making a place large enough for a body to pass through. After effecting an entrance they opened the blind and also the rear door, thus providing a means of escape. The combination of the safe was drilled and the -glycerine placed in these holes. The job Is not as clean as that done frequently by profess sionals of the first water.

REPUBLICANS WILL
 SHED THE DARKEY
WHITES ARBITRARILY DISMISS ALL NEGRO MEMBERS OF THE SECOND DISTRICT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

Montgomery. September 11.-(Special.)- The republicans here are leaving nothing nndone to show that they are going to shed the darkey The whites who met and arbitrarily dismissed the two negroe delegates from the delegation to the state convention, did not act without having first sounded the state committee to know whether the two white men thus irregularly put on would be accorded seats.
 The whites also arbitrarily dismissed all the negro members of the second dis triet executive committee and replaced them with white men. Of course a gath ering of citizens of one country had To authority over the district committee, but tlic fact that they assumed it shows that the party is getting rid of Cuffee by he rule do it."
 declaration of endorsement of the action of the Glenmore hotel gathering is being passed around over the district, and is being numerously signed. As there are only forty-seven negroes regis tered in this county, and as the new constitution prohibits any but registered voters from taking part in party af- fairs the whites have the majority and are proceeding under the rule made hon. orabla by democratic precedent, that the majority should control.

ATHENS.
Female College Begins Its sixtleth An
 nuaI Session.

Athens, September u.-(Special. )-The sixtieth annual session of the Athens Fe- male college, located in this place, opened its doors for the reception of students yesterday. The opening was most hatter- ing It was the first opening under the presidency of pr. Edgar M. Glenn, and the large chapel was filled with young women and friends of the college, who were there to bid it God speed. Several speeches were made by prominent men present, and other exercises were held that added much to the pleasure of the morning. This is the second oldest col lege for women in the world, and has A most brilliant alumni Dr. Glenn is very hopeful of the outlook
 Cotton is coming into market at very rapid rate. Not in many years has there been as much cotton on the market this early In the month of September The farmers are growing very blue, as they will not realize as much as they had even hoped for, and they have been counting the crop short in this section.
 Dr. H. N. Barbee, pastor of the Pres byterian church in this place, has re- ceived a call to one of the leading churches of Memphis, his former home, but his congregation in Athens are very anxious to retain him. and have assured him manse if he will remain with them No minister ever was more popular with the masses in Athens than this young msn, who four years ago gave up splendid law practice to enter the min istiy, and is serving his first charge and growing more in favor day by day His removal would be a serious loss to Athens.
