Live stock Mt world. Fair.

The live stock department of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition was
virtually organized only since the
first of the year. and hence its plans
are far less advanced than is desira-
bic. Work on the classiications and
the rules and regulations governing
exhibits is now, however, being ener-
getica1ly pushed by the departments
chief, Mr.. +. ID. Coturn, who is plac-
ing himself in the closest possible
touch with breeders of improved
stock everywhere with a view Of util-
izing their best ideas for making their
feature of the great exposition wba.
it should be. The exposition manage
ment has planned an exhibition on a
scale about twice as large as that Of
any previous international exposition.
The cost of the Worlds Columbian ex-
position at Chicago was about $40, 000,-
900; the estimated cost of the st.
Louis Worlds fair is near $40, OO0, 900.
The live stock interests at the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition are likely
to be given proportionate attention.
Classification will include all recog-
nized improved breeds. 1t is expect
ed the friends of all the varieties Of
live stock, poultry, pet stock, as we'll
as horses. cattle and other ruminants
and swine, will find at St. Louis much
greater recognition than has been Civ
en- them on any previous occasion.

Bank Robbery at smithton.

A fierce battle between bank rob-
bers and citizens took place at two
o'clock in the morning at S%mithton,
eight miles east of Sedalia. The fu-
SHADE of bullets and buckshot went
wild, however, and so far as can be
learned, none of the participants on
either side was wounded. The bur-
glars, supposed to be three in num-
Der, first blew open the vault of tho
Smithton bank with nitroglycerin,
and then made IN Intellectual effort to
blow open the safe. When this failed
they turned their attention to 20 pri-
vate deposit boxes belonging to the
patrons of the bank. They emptied
the contents of the boxes on the vault
floor and carried off a large number
Of valuables, including about $3.50
worth of postage stamps belonging to
the Smithton post Office, a large guam
tity of valuable jewelry and one or
more sacks of silver coins belonging
to the bank. Several bundles Of
blank money orders were stolen also.

REEvEs's RESIGNATION.
Effort to Assure the Appointment of
 His Brother


 Troy, March lS-(SpeciaD-It was learn ed here this morning that Sheriff James Reeves Of this county rendered to the Governor his resignation yesterday while in Montgomery.
 It now develops that the purpose of the visit of the Sheriff to Montgomery. accompanied by his brother, Sam NJ Reeves. together with several ot their friends and the bondsmen of the former. was. that the Sheriff might resign and to secure assurance from the Governor that Sam NJ Reeves would be appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna- tion of his brother.
 Whether the Governor gave them any promise as to who would be appointed to nll the Sheriffs unexpired term is not rectly connected with the effort, and II any of them is in possession of such Knowledge he does not give it out. How ever, 1t is generally believed that the had not the Reeves brothers received some assurance that Sam Reeves would receive the appointment.
 There will be other applicants for the place, among whom 1t is thought will be W, A. Mcbride and W. R Sellers MT. Mcbride is chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of his beat and a lifelong Democrat. He was a candidate for the office of Sheriff against MT. Reeves when the latter was nominated by the primary election and was next to Mir, Reeves in the number of votes cast for that office
 MT Sellers is a resident of this city and successful farmer. He has always been prominent Democrat, and a man Of considerable influence. He was a strong Jetks man in the late election and this. together with his known capa bilties ana qualifications for the office, it Is be- iieved Will make him strong candidate if the Governor Is not already pledged as to who the appointee shall be-

Only Two Feet on Elks' Lot.

A careful measurement of the Elks lot on the bluff of the river at the foot of Lauderdale Street ,hows that the new building of Essler and McDowell only en- croaches thereon two feet and two inches
 The measurements were made today by City Engineeh Julien Smith in the pres ence of all the interested persons and the above found to be the case The two lots in question are located on the bluff. just above the original landing at this place and the early settlers of Selma unloosed their effects and began the building of the city from that point The property has been used for many different pur- poses during the history of the city and the mistake made was doubtless caused by the great number of times the prop erty has changed hands The small space in question will be settled for and when

diton of the city and especially in view of the fact that the contemplated reduc- nons still leave tho salaries at figures which could command the services of other men who would be willing to ac- cept them and do efficient work. On fhe other hand its opponents contend that if retrenchment Is necessary there are other places where it should begin and that the officers of the city should be allowed to continue to draw what they consider only reasonable compensation for the devo- tion of their time and talents to the city's welfare. The lines are being closely drawn on this question and it Is believed that the battle will be fought to a firi- thoroughly aroused on the question and judging from the talk on the streets an overwhelming public sentiment is being formed which will insist that the Council at least show its ability to reject or pass a measure which so vitally concerns the welfare of the city.

selma, March R.
 It seems a little strange that right af- ter the nomination. which Is practically the election. of city officers for q new term municipal affairs should be occupy ing the attention of the citizens of Sell ma to the exclusion of almost all other questions. However such Is the case and this rather anomalous condition seems to have been brought about largely by the report of Councilman Schweizer in regard to the expenses of feeding tho city prisoners at the Council meeting Monday evening and also by the clear and business-like message of the Mayor calling for retrenchment tn city expenses and reduction of salaries as the first step that should be taken in that direc- fion.
 The bills for 1000 pounds of meat and some twenty-five sacks of meal for one months food for prisoners which were objected to by Councilman Schweitzer were presented by the firm of Gary and Kennedy and yesterday that firm request ed the Investigating Committee to come : to its store and examine its books. or ders, price lists and any other papers re- 1ating to the matter which it might de- sire to see. The Committee made the re- 4uested examination and gives out the following statement:
 ''We, the undersigned Committee of the Council, to hereby certify that we have examined the account of Gary, Kennedy and Co. against the city of Selma; that we lind that all prices made have been in accordance with the schedule of prices as maintained by the Wholesale Grocers' Association of Selma, and that there have been no excessive prices charged for goods furnished: that no goods have been delivered except upon written order of the Chairman of the Councils Commit tee; that we have examined all of said orders and find that they correspond with the bills and charges made and that the said Gary, Kennedy and Go. have in their possession written orders for all goods delivered; that the interest charged was not compounded, but was charged on De- cenaber 31. 1902. after the account had i been running for nearly two years and that the rate per annum of said interest charge does not exceed per centum
 Chairman.
 W. L. Quinn.
 Aaron Maas.
 This statement Is generally regarded as a complete exoneration of the firm sell ing the goods and as having "chipped 1t up'' to some one else. The Committee is still engaged in its investigations and It's final report on the whole matter which will doubtless be ready for the meeting of the Council Monday night Is being eagerly looked for
 The salary ordinance which. by reason of the breaking of the quorum at the last meeting of the Council. was left swinging like a pendulum somewhere be- tween the table and an adoption, is being warmly discussed and 1t is impossible to foretell its ultimate end. Its friends ar gue that officers who are holding offices by reason of the suffrage of their fellow citizens should not object to cut in sal- aries in view of the present financial con
