MACON, Mo, Feb. 27.-John and Jcne
Lewis brother and sister, ~ Old Bloom

county seat once a year for this purpose

removed from Bloomington 10 Macon as
a military expedient.
They informed Collector William Stamper
that this would be the last time he would
receive taxes on real property from
Bloomington.

Mr.. Lewis explained that the citizens
had arranged to remove the twenty-five

a point on John W. Gates's Iowa and 81.

PlTTsRuRo WAS ALARMED.
Weather Bureau Sent Out Warning of
 High River.

Pittsburg, March 9. = Pittsburg was somewhat alarmed this morning by the weather bureau warning of a 27-foot river. The flood, however will reach its highest at 23 feet at Herrs island dam in the Allegheny river in the morning, ac- cording to the outlook at 10 o'clock to- night. The stage is now 22.2 feet, rising about I of foot an hour. The. Monon- gahela at the foot of Market street wharf has 20 feet with the same rate of rise, while the stage at Davis island dam in the Ohio Is 1s.S.
 The morning warning was sent out al once on reports being received from up- river points. The Allegheny had not then begun to throw its headwater strength into the flood, and 1t appeared that a heavy flood would result. Warnings were sent in good time to those people who would be affected. This evening the re- ports show that there Is little danger of more than 2S feet of water in the harbor The weather prediction IS for rain, SC that the high water may hold several days.
 The rise is coming principally from the Allegheny, although the Monongahela Is also furnishing considerable water. The rainfall was general over western Penn sylvania The interference to railroad traffic by the flood has been slight.

B. R.L. &P. GO. WILL
 INCREASE STOCK
MEETING OF DIRECTORS HELD YESTERDAY TO CALL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS APRIL IS. FROM $5,ooo, ,ooo TO $e,5oo,ooo.


 Directors of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company met yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the office of the company on First avenue and adopted resolution calling meeting of the stock holders for April 15 to vote on the propo- stion of increasing the capital stock from 5000, GOO to s6, 5OOOOO.
 There is now outstanding $S,5oOOOO or common stock and 900 preferred, and it is thought that the new issue will be or common stock. The increase is to be made for the purpose of still further in- creasing the capacity of the company plant and for prosecuting the improve ments that are now being made. Although the capacity of the power house has re- gently been doubled, it Is felt that a still greater increase is necessary.
 The directors also accepted the resig- nation of George H. Davis as general manager of the company and formally elected D. A. Belden of Atlanta to the position.
 Mir. Belden will arrive Thursday and will assume his new duties at once. MT. Davis will shortly take a trip to Europe to be gone about year in search of re- newed health.

"uPHoLDINe THE LAW"
Senator McLaurin Disagrees With
 RooseveIt's Explanation.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
 Washington, March 5.-Senator A. J. McLaurin of Mississippi takes exception to that part of the Presidents letter to Editor Clark Howell, made public yes terday, in which MT. Roosevelt said speaking of the Indanola incident, he had upheld the law. In referring to the matter today Senator McLaurin said:
 T notice the President in his letter, speaks of 'upholding the law at Indian ola The Presidents position in reference to the Indianola case Is utterly untena- ble I do not impugn his motives, but he Is surely not upholding the law in this instance. The law requires that the people of Indianoa shall have the ben eft of the mail facilities of the govern ment equally with the rest of the citizens of the United States. Not only that, but those who have correspondence with the citizens of Indianola and vicinity shall have the same benfits of the mail facil- tiles It IS the county town, where the Circuit and Chancery courts ot the coun- ty are held, and for that reason the law prohibits the abolshment or discontin- uance of the office. 1t has been discon- tinued, and without any reasonable eX- cuse, except the timorousness of the ne- gro postmaster. against whom there has been no threat made, so far as anybody knows or claims to know, of his or her own knowledge.
 'The people desired a change of post master There was surely nothing un- lawful or improper in such desire. They, in a peacoable and lawful way, went about to obtain such change by making known to the postmaster their desire in a respectful way. She learned of this de- sire before a formal request was made known to her, and not wishing to hold the office in opposition to the unanimous opinion of the best residents of the town, she rendered her resignation, to take ef- feet January la little more than three months in advance of rendering her res- ignation. Because the President thought the people had no right to any desire in the matter, or at least to the expression of any desire, he refused to accept the resignation of the postmaster and tho postmaster refused to perform the duties of the office. Whereupon the President closed it.
 After considerate judgment l am sat isfied he would retface his steps aLd &C., cept the resignation of the postmaster, appoint postmaster acceptable to the people and reopen the office.
 '"rhe people of Indianola buy goods from New York. Chicago. New Orleans, Memphis and other places, and necessa- rily every man from whom they buy goods is interested in the Indianola post office They have bank dealings with the cities in the different sections of the country and every banker with whom they have dealings has interest in the postoffice at Indianola, and by its closing every one of these is punished"

"Foxy QuiIler."

Foxy Quller" will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night
 This opera of DeKoven and Smith s Is one of the best things these authors have ever done, and has been very suc- cessful In commenting on the perform ance given by the company, well known critic said Drol Richard Golden and diminutive Adolph Zink arrived at the Broadway last night, in the presence of the usual large and fashionable Monday night audience. It was a good deal of a triumph, especially for Golden. The house was perceptbly chilly at the start. FOXY Quiller" had been heralded as Reginald DeKoven and Harry B. Smith s ''greatest comic opera success" and there was an outpouring of society critics that filled the boxes and the parquette to overfiowing. The first act of this sequel to The Hlghwayman' fell short of the DeKoven and Smith standard, but In the second and third there was a lot of reminiscent DeKoven music, and this, with Golden's telling comedy methods and the antics of the clever Lilliputian, Zink, warmed the house and landed Foxy QuiIler" without question in the class of this seasons local musical successes.

SHAFT AT ALICE
 FURNACE BURNS
FIRE CAUGHT ABOUT 12 O'CLOCK AND CONTINUED FOR TWO HOURS AND A HALF-CAUSED FROM STACK NO. 1.

The elevator shaft of No. stack or the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad companys Alice furnace was entirely ae- stroyed by fire lest night shsrt'y after midnight.
 It caught abou. l2 oclocs and burned until 2:3O.
 The blaze originated from defective place in the stack The stack has been out of blast for about two weeks ana last night fire was started in it to melt 1t out preparatory to making some ex- tensive repairs.
 There was a defective place near the ion of the stack which caught the wood . work of the platform leading from the shaft The flames spread rapidly to the shaft itself, which was entirely Of wood except the corrugated iron workhouse at the top
 The shaft is eighty feet high and the nearest water play is at the corner Of First avenue and Twelfth street, a quar- ter of a mile away. The tremendous pres sure necessary to force the water this far and then to elevate the stream eighty feet caused the air chamber of the fire engine to break about 1:3O and the south side engine was sent for.
 The hremen worked from the top of the No. 2 shaft, which is near and in that way were on level with the flames
 No estimate of the loss could be made last night Chief Mullen of the fire de- partment said he was not able to form anything like an approximate estimate.

costumes are dainty, their songs are more catchy. and one of them made even better impression than Ching Ling Loo The hit of the evening was Susle' MY Susie," sung by the entire company aho introduced in a peculiar manner mere are three couples on the stage, and otls Harland, as William Slab, paperhanger' commences the speciality by singing the , song with one of the girls on his arm. Her sweetheart objects and carries her away. The paperhanger gets another girl and the performance is repeated several times amid great laughter. Then the chorus appears and sings the verses of the song. Six of the girls were especially prettily costumed in yellow and black, and made a striking effect This chorus was the finale of the second act, and 1t required seven curtain calls to satisfy the audience.
 Malda Synder, a new girl in the com pany, did neat turn She sang Alex ander. Are You There?' which made a hit. She is clever dancer The other songs are as follows:
 Act II-1. This Makes Me Think of Home" Otis Harlan. ?. "The Bljou Cham pagne Dance," executed by a double sex tette. Misses Hoffman, Fanchonetti, Hodgson. Harvey Warner, Snyder. and Messrs. Marble, Andrada, Bode. Early, Hall and Johnson. 3. Susie, My Susie Ue," by the entire company.
 Act III-1. Alexander, Are You There?" Maida Snyder 9 Society" Mary Marble. 3. "The Kissing Bug" Little Chip and the Bijou Kissing Bugs. 4 Finale, company. The members of the company all have good parts. They are entirely different from any previous ones and are handled equally as well. Chip appears in dress suit Otis Harlan as a paperhanger, John Dunne as an American general. Tony Hart and Lindsey Hall as Bedford Madi- son, Jr. and Sr., Ida Lester as an Irish visitor, and Mary Marble as a vaude- l vile artist. Miss Marbles costume was one of the prettiest seen on a Birming- ham stage this season.
 | Suzanne Rocamora, Agnes Scott and Eva Burnham appear as girls who are in love with David Andrada, Chip and Tony Hart. All have more or less charac- ter parts and play them well.
 The company was not well up In its lines, and several scenes fell somewhat fiat for that reason, but this Is the first production, and such mistakes are some what pardonable. F. H. B.

From rid Bits.
 'As new woman,' he said. 'T suppose you will object to the wedding ring as a symbol of mans tyranny"
 'Of course I shall.' she replied. ''ua. der no cir cumste nces would I consent tc wear such thing. It is not essentia to a marriage. and it stands for all that is objectionable ir ihe marriage rela. ticn."
 And or the same theory" he contin. ued, T suppose you will refuse to wea, an engage ment ring also?'
 ''Weli-no," sEe answered. slowly and thoughtfully. That's a very different matter :"
 But theoretically it."
 There is no use arguing" she inter. iupted. "l don't care what 1t is taeoreti- oally. Practically it is very often dia- nond, while the wedding ring is only I lain gold. and that makes all the differ. cree in the world"

The Bostonians.

The Bostonians, who are coming to the Jefferson this week, are producing new Smith and Dekoven opera which, from all accounts, is worthy successor of the old time favorite, Robin Hood"
 The Philadelphia Inquirer says of it's appearance in that city: Well. after all inc doubts and fears over this perform ance. 1t can be truthfully said that it is successor to the thousands of times re- heated Robin Hood" There are req sons to believe that this work will rival in interest the opera that gave the Bos- tonians fame and fortune"
