able to the most delicate, they present to
those suffering from Eczema the most
successful curative of modern times. We
know that this will be considered strong

character and obstinacy of the disease
under consideration, but 1t Is justified
by innumerablc successes where all the
remedies and methods in vogue have
failed to cure, and, in many cases, to
relieve, even.(
The first step in the treatment of the
chronic forms is to remove the scales and
crusts and soften the skin, by warm
baths with Cuticura Soap. The scalp,

require frequently thorough soaking In

CAUSE OF NEGRO'S
DEATH A MYSTERY
DEPUTIES RAID A CRAP GAME,
SOME SHOOTING TAKES PLACE
AND BODY OF NEGRO is FOUND
SOON AFTERWARD.

A negro whose name is supposed to be
either Gabe Linn or Gabe Lunn was found
dead last night on the railroad crossing at
Fourteenth street shortly after 10 o'clock
There is considerable mystery surround
ing his death and 1t is thought that fur
Their light will be thrown on the matter at
the inquest which will be held over the
body by Coroner Paris this morning.
Three deputy sheriffs went out on Four
teenth street last night about 10 o'clock
to raid a negro gambling house. They
gained entrance to the place and found
about forty-flve negroes engaged In shoot
ing craps. The appearance of the officers
naturally created a stampede and many
of the inmates of the house made a dash
for the doors.
Fifteen of the men, however, were ar
rested and taken to the county Jail When
the negroes began to run there was some
shooting done but no one seems to know
who did the firing. Nightwatchman
Thompkins at the Linn Iron works heard
the shooting but was not able to tell who
was doing it.
The negro who was killed was found on
the tracks a few minutes after the firing
and it is supposed that his death was the
result of shots fired during the raid The
deputies say they know nothing about it
except that they saw the negro after he
was dead.
The body was taken to the undertaking
establishment of the Warner-Smiley COM
pany where the inquest will be held this
morning In the negro's pockets a deck
of cards was found, and also some loaded
dice, some counterfeit money and rail-
road ticket from Livingston to Birming-
ham and return. From these tokens 1t
is supposed that he was a bad negro.
At Warner Smiley's fourteen pieces Of
lead were taken out of the negro's body.

FORE THE LEGISLATURE.

connections, and that a canal from the
city to the last of the locks would place
Birmingham practically on the gulf

work on the locks of the Warrior have

RAIN BENEFITTING
CROPS HEREABOUTS
WEATHER OBSERVER MITCHELL
MAKES A GOOD REPoRT-THE
TROPICAL STORM WAS GEN.
TERED IN CENTRAL ALABAMA

It had been nearly a month since rain
fell hereabouts when the first drops in
that length of time settled the dust in
Birmingham Sunday and yesterday. The
rain was not heavy, and was merely the
remnants of the storm which swept the
Florida coast.
The effect of this storm was felt in Bir-
mingham by a lowering of the tempera-
ture about 20 degrees and a fresh wind
which blew all Sunday night and the
earlier portion of yesterday. The wind
reached a velocity of 2S miles an hour,
which is considered rather brisk.
The rain yesterday was a great benefit
to the farmers in this section, as it
has been dry since August II. This rain
was the first registered in the gauge of
the new bureau on top of the Guarantee
building.
The report of the weather maker for
yesterday was:
The tropical storm. which made its APP
pearance Off the south Florida coast on
last Friday, is conferred this morning
over central Alabama. with a barometric
pressure of 1910 inches at Montgomery.
This has been the cause of the brisk
winds and rain over this section during
the past twenty-four hours. The same
conditions are expected to continue over
the northern portion of the state today
and tonight, with clearing and cooler
weather Tuesday Rain has been gen.
eral over the eastern portion of the cot
ton belt-heavy over south Georgia. Rain
is also reported from the lake region
Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys.
A cool wave is approaching from the
Dakotas, where temperatures are as low
as % degrees.

HAYES MAXWELL
GETS FINE OF $50
HE is THE NEGRO WHO WAS CAP
TURED BY POLICEMAN NIX SAT-
URDAY NIGHT-THE OFFICER IN
JURED HIS KNEE AT THE TIME.

Hayes Maxwell, the negro who was
captured by Policeman Nix Saturday
night in a ditch at the same time that
the policeman was severely injured, was
yesterday fined $50 by Judge Feagin on a
charge of assault and battery and carry
ing concealed weapons.
1t will be remembered that the negro
was under arrest and made an attempt
to escape. He knew where this deep ditch
was, only a short distance away and he
jumped into it, thinking that the police
man would not follow. Policeman Nix
however, did not know of the ditch and
fell in on top of the negro.
The policeman in falling broke his knee
cap, dislocated the knee joint and cut his
knee badly on sharp rock. He will be
confined to his bed for some time. He
was reported yesterday as resting COM
paratively easily.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Tim Murphy.

In THE Man From Missouri" the new
play written especially for Tim Murphy
by George " Hobard and Edward E.
Rose, which Mr.. Murphy will present here
for the first time at the Jefferson theatre
tomorrow night, Tim Murphy will be
seen as Jim Broncho, a type of westerner
new to the stage, a sort of Remington
cowboy of rugged and kindly nature. who
finds himself very much at home in Wash
ington society. The comedy fairly hub-
bles with bright pithy lines, clever and
laughter provoking situations. The SER
vices of an unusually large company of
players are required for it's presentation.
1t is the most pretentious play that Mr..
Murphy has ever offered a carload of new
and appropriate scenery being carried for
the complete setting of the four acts of
the comedy. The advance sale of seats is
already large.
