Measure Passed House After
 Much Debate. Bill Regulating Insuran:s Corpora tions Enectually Killed by Constitutional Provision.
 Much Work Was Ac-
 complished.

The bill extending the terms of the Tax Assessors and Tax Collectors of the sev- eral counties of Alabama, passed the House of Representatives yesterday by the narrow margin of one vote.
 A verihcation of the vote was immedl- ately demanded by the opponents of the measure and the friends of the bill held their breaths as the roll call proceeded, but the original vote of 4s to H was left unchanged.
 The bill carries the present Tax Collec- tors and Tax Assessors over until Sep tember, 1905. This question has been live one since the Legislature reassem- bled. The county officials and their friends had previously pursued diligent campaign to have the Legislature follow the example of the Constitutional Con vention which extended the terms of of- flee of the Sheriffs. In some of the coun- ties there has been some feeling for and against extension.
 Was e Live Question. The question has been constantly before the members since the beginning of the September session. The Committee which had the bill had a lively time with it. The House membeS endured considerable
 button-h -holing by interested officials or their friends.
 The fight over the bill in, the House was warm. Its advocates declared that 1t was in the interest of economy and that confusion would necessarily follow when the terms of the present officials expired before the terms of their success sors began.
 The House finally and for all time
 killed the bill regulating the taxation of insurance corporations It was pounded
 to death by the representatives of the cities who declared that its passage would be a serious blow to the revenues of
 municipalities The bill increased the State privilege tax on insurance corpora tions from one to one and a half per | cent of their gross incomes. 1t was declared by the friends of the | bill that it would increase the States revenues $35o0O annually. The House
 would not have the measure, however, and it was defeated by an overwhelming | vote.
 Night Session Unsatisfactory. The night session of the House was
 unsatisfactory It was intended to pass
 number of general bills. but the House
 never reached general bills. It was first proposed to pass local measures and be-
 fore they were completed it was nearly
 II o'clock.
 | dispensary bill for Piedmont and the Greater Birmingham bill occupied the | greater part of the night session. There | were members present. who, grown | weary with routine business. were out
 for pleasure. Their desire to inject some
 humor into the proceedings aroused con- | siderable disorder It was finally neces-
 sary for the Speaker to announce to the | fun lovers that he would go to the full
 limit of the rules in preserving order. The
 warning had its effect.

As he did so a lantern was swung across the track, but not in the easy manner acquired by experienced trainmen, and it flashed across Boss s mind that the man who gave the signal was not stopping the train for a good pur- pose. As far as he could see, an unob- structed track lay before him. Another second and his mind was made up and he rushed the train past the danger signal
 Leaning out of his cab, Engineer Boss saw man with lantern jump from the track, two other men holding the station ary light and tampering with the signal, while seven other men were lined up along the roadbed,

Sofia, Sept. 25. 5.-Simultaneously with the issue of the trade appointing the mixed Macedonian commission, the re- port comes from Constantinople that the Porte has ordered the mobilization of two additional divisions of Asiatic troops. The trade has created little impression here The belief prevails that the Sul- tan Is acting solely in view of the ap- preaching meeting between the Russian and Austrian emperors and with the hope of convincing them that he is anxious to maintain peace.
 dispatch from Rila says that the insurgents, encouraged by their recent successes. are abandoning a strictly de- fensive attitude and are preparing to take the offensive.

RAISE THE RATES.
The Railroads of the Country Said
 to Act Jointly.

Chicago. Sept. 25.-The Record-Heral tomorrow will say:
 A movement is on foot by the railroads of the entire country to bring about general advance in freight rates, the general reason assigned being the big increase in wages of all classes of la Dor and in the price of all materials used by the railroads. A similar advance was made one year ago for the same reasons, and went into effect Jan. 1, last. At that time shippers generally protested and 1t is understood that the various manufacturing and industrial as- sociations will combine to prevent fur ther advances.

Saltwater, Mimi, Jan. 21.-The CONSOLE
dated Telegraph and Telephone company,
supposed to be the Twin City company,
made another effort to get into Saltwater
at the council meeting last evening, but
were denied by the aldermen, who are
opposed to granting it permission to ex-
tend its line from the Atwood A mill
through the city to the Atwood mill.
The matter was discussed at length.
The Saltwater Gas company asked for
an extension of its franchise for nine
years and an ordinance providing for this
was placed on it's first reading. The COM
pany's franchise has eleven years yet to
run, and if it can get an extension Of
nine years, making twenty in all, it can
sell all it's properties to an eastern syn
dictate which promises to spend from
$4,000 to 100000 in improvements.
The ordinance restoring the old hydrant
rentals was passed and settlement Will
now be made with the water company.

III PAYS
To Know Facts About Coffee.

When man takes properly selected food
and drink Nature will most always as
sert herself and rebuild the structure
properly. a..s..
From my earliest remembrance I was
a confirmed coffee drinker," writes a gen
tleman from Marshallville, Ca, taking
two cups at nearly every meal. While at
college I became very nervous, dyspeptic.
irritable and unfit for study and at
tributed it largely to coffee, but did not
stop its use.
when I was married found my wife
was troubled the same way, and we de-
cided to try Postum Food Coffee. Ny
wife made the Postum according to direc-
tions and we found it superb. We used
it exclusively for the morning beverage,
and the taste of ordinary coffee became
sdistasteful to both Of us.
Eve have found a distinct gain in
health. Any amount of Postum does not
cause feeling of either dyspepsia or
nervousness, while the return to coffee
even for one meal has disastrous effects
upon my nerves. My dyspepsia has en-
tirely left me, and both my wife and self
are well and strong and feel that it is all
due to the Postum" Name given by Pos
tum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich
& 1t is easy to replace coffee with Postum
which has. when properly made, a rich
favor and the color OF coffee with none
of its injurious after effects.

Fargo. N. D., Jan. 21-Fully 600 dele
gates were present at the opening Of the
second days session Of the Tri-State
Grain and Stockgrowers' convention this
morning. Delayed trains during the fore
noon brought in many others and the in
dications are that the thousand mark will
be reached by tomorrow. IL .aa''c.aF
The chief incident of the morning ses-
sion was the discussion over the location
Of the North Dakota state fair at Fargo
instead Of at Mandan. The matter was
brought up by Charles 5Kissick Of May
vile and a committee, was appointed of
which he was made the chairman, to APP
pear before the legislature and ask that
the change be made. The farmers are
very enthusiastic in the matter and feel
that Fargo would be the most convent
ent location.
In the forenoon there were many in
teresting discussions. Professor Hover
stead Of the Crookston experiment station
spoke on Horses; Charles McKissick Of
Mayville on Swine Raising on the Farm
for Profit G. S. Barnes, Fargo, on Farm
Industry': and NJ. F., Greeley Of Aber-
deem. S. D.. on Economic Meat Produc-
ton The most gratifying feature Of
the session is the interest taken by the
delegates and the spirited discussions
that follow each paper.
The Wisconsin, Dakota Inspection.
Messrs Crompton and Schmitt Of Su-
perior. who have been in Bismarck inter-
viewing the legislators on the proposed
Wisconsin Dakota grain inspection are
here to-day and are comforting with the
delegates at the tri-state convention
They were each promised a place on the
program. which was later denied them
on the ground that the association does
not care to MIX UP in the matter officially
1t is probable that the failure to get a
place will result in some Of the delegates
presenting resolutions favoring the new
inspection. and the convention may thus
go on record in the matter.
