 The ordinance was passed under the provisions of what Is known as the Baby was approved May 12, 1901. explains its purpose It's title Is as follows:
 An act to authorize the City Council. of Montgomery to issue bonds for che purpose of paving and otherwise improv- ing the sidewalks of the City of Montgomery. and to provide method for assessing property benefited thereby.
 After the passage of the ordinance last night. Alderman Kohn asked unani- nous consent to submit an amendment providing that the sidewalk paving on Adams Street should stop at South Jackson Street.
 Alderman May objected. and Alderman Kohn announced that he would withdraw his amendment.
 Mir. Kohn later offered a resolution in- structing the City Engineer to prepare and file with the City Treasurer plans and specif1ca tions for the paving and the same resolution instructed the City Treasurer to advertise for fifteen days for bids for doing the paving according to the plans and specifications prepared by the City Engineer

Al PEsT1FERous GERM.
Burrows up the scalr Into Dandrun
 and Sans the Hairs Vitality.

People who complain of falling hair as A rule do not know that 1t Is the result of dandruff which Is caused by pestir- erous parasite burrowing up the scalp as 1t digs down to the sheath in which the hair is fed in the scalp. Before long the hair root Is shriveled up and the hair drops out. If the work of the germ is not destroyed hair keeps thinning till bald ness comes. The only way to cure dan druff is to kill the germ, and until now there has been no hair preparation that would do it; but today dandruff is easily eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide. which makes hair glossy and soft as silk.

The Republican Conference.

The eyes of Alabama Republicans and especially those in Birmingham. are no-7 turned on Montgomery. Birmingham R. publicans of the anti-lliy persuasion started the pilgrimage yesterday to the Capital City. The indications are that the negro will be well represented in the conventions" to be held tomorrow and next day. It is believed that at the consultation to be held by Secretary N. l.. Steele. of the State Executive Com mittec. efforts will be made to rc-organize the committee and probably elect chair man. It is claimed that Chairman We'll man of Huntsville. refused to call the State Executive Committee when a ma jority of the members requested a meet ing and therefore If majority meets to- morrow they can elect a chairman. If the ajority shows up tomorrow it may mean that the lily whites are whipped.
