Went Through Books of the
 Various County Officials
REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR
The Affairs of Jefferson Said to Be In Good shape-Entlre Board Made a Thorough Examlna-
 ton.

The state board of county examiners, whose members have been going over the books of the various officials of Jefferson county, finished their work yesterday and left for Montgomery last night.
 The board Is composed of J. T. German. G. F. Sedberry and T. J. Rutledge They report directly to Governor Jelks, and their work is under his direct super vision The members stated yesterday that their report on this county will be prepared at once and will probably go to the governor on Monday. They were un- willing to make any statement other than that the affairs of the county were in good shape
 The members of this board are sent to the various counties of the state by the governor, but usually one member is considered sufficient to do the work in any one county. Jefferson county is con sidered such a task. however, that the entire board was here at work
 They came just at this time because all of the courts are adjourned and they felt that the work would be facilitated by doing it during vacation time. Their report cannot be made public until after 1t has been submitted to the governor, and even then the governor can give 1t out or withhold 1t at his discretion. The report will be watched for with interest by the citizens of Jefferson county.

MURDERER PAYS
 DEATH PENALTY
King Dies on GallowS With
 Scarcely a Struggle
IA SMALL CROWD PRESENT
The Condemned Negro Slept We'll the Night Before His Execution and Went to His Death With a
 Smile on His Face.

Sidney King, the negro murderer walked to the scaffold yesterday morning with a smile on his face, and his last words were the expression of the positive knowledge that his sins had been Tor given, that his soul would be saved and that he died with love in his heart toward every person in the world
 At 10:s0 o'clock deputy sheriffs led him into the jail yard where the scaffold had been erected He walked up the steps of the structure faltering, where the moose was adjusted about his neck cords were tied about his arms and legs and the black cap placed over his head. The trap was sprung at 10:s5 o'clock by the sheriff and fifteen minutes later King was pro- nounced dead by the physicians present.
 Scarcely Struggle.
 When the body dropped there was scarcely struggle, the only percentible movement being a slight motion of the arms.
 Prior to his entrance to the jail yard services were conducted for the prisoners by eolored ministers of the gospel in the IDOm dDO8t lIt MhAdth bAAANS oN @-- jail. One of the ministers accompanied the condemned man to the scaffold-
 The crowd of spectators in the jail yard was much smaller than is usual at such events. Every available window in the court house, however, was filled with those eager to see the man meet his doom. A half dozen small boys were on the roof of the court house and several negroes were at the windows in the tower of the building far above the crowds below.
 The moose was adjusted about the prisoners neck by Deputy Love- and yes- terday was the eighteenth time Deputy Love has acted in the same capacity since his connection with the sheriff's of flee.
 Body Taken Down.
 When the negro had been pronounced dead the body was taken down, the rope, cords, handcuffs and cap were removed and the remains carried to the under taking establishment of Lige Loy, where they are at present. No arrangements had been made as to the disposition of the body at late hour last night. Kings father was in town yesterday and called on his son early in the morning.
 The negro slept soundly the night be- fore and ate hearty breakfast. He was given a bath during the morning and dressed up in new suit of black clothes.
 King was convicted of the murder of Ocie Byron at Pratt mines. Brydn was a fellow convict and was working in the same room with King. The murder was committed with a miners pick. At the time King was serving a sentence of life imprisonment, having been convicted of former murder.
 Next Friday Will Jones and VIII Hud- son will be hanged. Both were convicted of highway robbery and given the death sentence.

 the city offices are coming is the conges- ton of business at the union station of- fee. At the approach of train time travellers are to be seen standing four and five deep in front of the ticket win dows, and it is often necessary to wait ten or fifteen minutes in order to pur- chase @ ticket.
 Of course the establishment of the city offices would not in any event mean the abolition of the office at the station, nor would it mean the probable reduction of the force employed there. In fact the rapid growth of passenger business means that the ticket handling facilities at the union station must be increased at no distant date no matter what other arrangements are made.
 A passenger agent of one of the promi- nent lines said yesterday: Several of the roads are looking for suitable quarters in which to establish city ticket offices and am told that all opposition to the move has been withdrawn by the people who have heretofore been in a position to successfully prevent 1t.
 "It has come to be a necessity, and there is no other town in the country doing anything like the business done in Birmingham that is without city offi- ces The ticket business here is the larg- est In the south"
 It has developed that in purchasing the Evansville and Terre Haute railroad from the collapsed firm of D. s. Hooley and company, at $5S a share for the stock, the Frisco Rock Island company snatch ed a prize from under the very hands of the Goulds and the Rockefellers. Rocke- feler and Gould had long wanted this road for the Wabash, and the St. Louis Southwestern road, but were unwilling to pay the $75 a share demanded by Hooley. The prize was not worth unset ting the stock market to get, but it was made part of the business of the Rocke- feller brokers to pick up this road. B. F. Yoakum president of the Frisco the man on guard, however, was too quick and when the crash came he was first at the bargain counter and got the prop erty.
 Another disappointed would-be pur- chaser is D. R. Thomas, son of the late Gen Samuel Thomas, who sold the road to Hooley and company. Young Thomas has just made more than 5000, GOO in the stock market, and last Saturday planned to buy the road back, to be held as a family property. The sale of the road which was for cash. has so frightened the burden of Hooley and company that 1t was said today the firm might resume in ten days Evansville and Terre Haute stock wavered between 50 and GO today, closing at 59. a net gain of points.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad will bring an excursion from Pensacola into Birmingham tomorrow morning.
 E. A. Nell, general freight agent of the Southern railway with headquarters at Atlanta, was In the city yesterday.
 W. J. Rosser, travelling freight and passenger agent of the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy railway with headquar- ters in Atlanta, was doing business in Birmingham yesterday.

LOST AERONAUT.
Andree's Brother Seeks to Have Him
Declared Legally Dead.

On the summer day nearly five years
ago when S. A Andree. the Arctic
coast of Spitzbergen at Advent Bay
and was soon lost to sight forever, he
drew I'D his Will. Three minutes be
fore he stepped into the car and the
balloon rose in the air he signed the
document, says the New York sun.
The viii declared that he left all his
property to his brother. Capt. Ernst
Wilhelm Andree. of the Swedish army.
1t added that his brother would devote
a part of the estate TO specific pur-
poses whieh he had indicated to Capt.
Andree by word Of mouth. The will
was taken back to Sweden and deliv
cred into his brothers hands.
Before the estate Of a deceased per-
son can be settled in Sweden it is nee
esSary that his death shall be officially
declared and on record in the govern
ment offices. There is an official record
with regard to Andree in the govern
ment offices at Stockholm, but it does
not declare that he IS dead It says
only that he is missing and that his
whereabouts are unknown
Capt. Andree has now applied to the
government to declare the lost explor-
er dead and thus enable him legally
to come into possession of the small
property which his brother left him
IN his petition he says that no one now
entertains the slightest hope that his
brother may be among the living All
experts II Arctic matters. all sailors
who frequent Arctic waters, are unan-
imously of the opinion that there is not
the slightest ground for believing that
Andree and his comrades escaped
death.
It is expected that his petition will
be granted and that the death of An
dree will be officially declared in the
government offices Until the present
time none of Andree's family nor any
Scandinavian Arctic explorers had ad-
mitted that he had given UP hope that
the explorer would yet be found alive
It is probable that for years his rela-
tives have really believed him dead,
but they were not willing to admit that
the last hope had expired
Now, how his own family are
openly of the opinion that the world
generally has expressed for the last
three years It IS not believed that the
Inflated party were alive many days
after they rose into the air from
Spitzbergen- It is possible even yet
that relics may be found which VIII
give some clue to the exact nature Of
the disaster that befell the three men
and approximat e1y locate the region
where it occurred.

WILL PROBABLY FUSE.
Democrats and Popullsts in
Seventh District.

It is possible that there will be no fu-
sion of Populists and Democrats in the
coming special election for congressman
IN the seventh district The Democrats
have been supposing that they had the
Populists completely swallowed but
now the PopuliSt state central commit
rec is protesting Some of the Popu-
lists DO not believe there is anv chance
TO elect a fusionist in the Seventh dis
trict anyway, so It is not at all improba-
bic that there VIII be both PODulist and
Democratic candidates nominated.
II such a thing is done it viii be nee
essary TO name the PoDulist candidate
by petition to get him on the Official
ballot.
Chairman W J. Babb, of Wichita,
and some OF the other members of the
Popuist state central committee held
meeting Friday afternoon behind closed
doors and discussed the future, and the
following address was issued by the
members Of the committee:
To the Members of the County Central
Committees OF the Peoples Party Of
Kansas.
Your state central committee held a
meeting at Topeka on February 20. 1903,
and recommended.
.sFirst-That our state and county
central committees keep up the work Of
education in behalf of our principles
through the press and other avenues.
SecOnd-That we should still lead in
Kansas in the propaganda of the Peo-
pies party principles. which are rapidly
gaining adherents everywhere, and es-
pecially take no backward step on the
questions Of direct legislation and COL
lective ownership of public utilities
.'Third-That each and every local
and county organization should help in
this work of education and see that
full county and state conventions are
held in the year 1854.
Fourth-That We viii make no com
promise or com bination with any politi-
cal organization controlled By corpora
lions or trusts but viii continue stead
fast in maintaining the integrity OF our
organization and the cause It repre-
sents. W J. BABB,
