ALA. COMMISSION
 FOR WORLDS FAIR
ENERGETIC WORK BEING DONE TO INDUCE LEGISLATURE TO
 MAKE AN APPROPRIATION OF s5o,ooo FOR SUITABLE EXHIBIT.

The St. Louis worlds fair commission for the state of Alabama, J. M. Falkner, chairman, Is working systematically and hopefully to get the legislature to appro- priate $50,OOO for an Alabama exhibit.
 The commission feels that this state should be represented at St. Louis by n varied and comprehensive exhibit, and no amount less than $50,O00 1t believes, would be adequate.
 The commission is sending out informa- tion about the worlds fair in circular form as follows
 In order that you may have a general idea of the magnitude of the Louisiana purchase exposition I beg leave to place before you few tersely-stated facts.
 The St. Louis worlds fair will be ap- proximately twice as big as any former international exposition.
 The centennial exposition at Philadel- phia covered 2Se acres, the Paris cxposi- ton of 1s99-19OO 3S6 acres, the Columbian exposition at Chicago 63S acres the Pan American at Buffalo $50 acres.
 The St. Louis worlds fair will cover 12OO acres
 The construction cost of the Paris eXpo- sition was s9. 9.ooc,Ooo that of the Column bian exposition $1S,322,OOO and the total cost of the Pan-American exposition was 1o0O0,0O0.
 The estimated cost of the St. Louis worlds fair will be $3O,O0O,Ooo This, you know, will mean s4O,000,000 by the time the work is completed.
 Before the exposition gates are open the city of St, Louis will have expended the enormous sum of 2O.O0O,0OO Of this amount S5,OOO,OOO was appropriated for the fair through the municipal assembly, her citizens raised s5OOo0O0 additional by private subscription, and by popular vote at special election the charter amend ments were carried, which will enable the city to spend s1o 0Oo GOO for street paving and other public improvements

THE OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA Tells How He Escaped the Terrors of Many Winters
 ICsz Do

pretentious biography of this, the oldest living man. illustrated with double eol- umn portrait. was given the readers of the Dallas Morning News. dated Decem- Der Il, 1898, and also the Chicago Times Herald of the same date. This centenar- ian is an ardent friend of Peruna, having used it many years.
 In speaking of his good health and ex- treme old age. MT. Brock says:
 After a man has lived in the world as long as I have, he ought to have found out a great many things by experience. I think 1 have done so.
 "One of the things 1 have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper thing for ailments that are due direct ly to the effects of the climate. For TIA years have wlthstood the change able climate of the United States.
 T have always been a very healthy man, but of course subject to the little affections which are due to sudden changes in the climate and temperature. During my long life I have known great many remedies for coughs, colds. and diarrhoea.
 "As for pr. Hartman's remedy, Pe- runa, have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable remedy for these affections. It has been my standby for many years, and l attribute my good health and extreme old age to this remedy.
 Tt exactly meets all my requirements It protects me from the evil effects of sudden changes; 1t keeps me in good ap- petite; 1t gives me strength and keeps my blood in good circulation. I have come to rely upon 1t almost entirely for the many little things for which l need medicine.
 When epidemics of la grippe first be- gan to make their appearance in this country I was a sufferer from this dis ease.
 q had several long sieges with the grip. At first did not know, that. Pe- runa was remedy for this disease. When ] heard that la grippe was epl- demic catarrh, l tried Peruna for la grippe and found it to be jus. thing"

The joint session then adjourned. While the lection of Senator Teller by the dem- ocratlc portion of the general assembly has removed one element of uncertainty from the situation, it has not cleared the atmosphere The election Is declared H. legal by the republican leaders and the two senates are still maintained. The democratic senate resumed its session im- mediately after the adjournment of the joint session and its leaders announced they would continue to occupy the senate chamber until Monday morning at least.
 As a result of a conference between re- publican senators and representatives of the two factions today, a proposition will be submitted in the house Monday to recognize the republican senate as the regular body. The Wolcott people have a sufficient number of republicans who are opposed to Wolcott joining them in a support of this proposition to secure its adoption. In that event 1t Is proposed to hold a joint session of republicans next week to vote upon a United States sena- tor. Should they succeed In agreeing upon a candidate, the republican senator will contest the seat with Teller.

MARCH IS GOING TO
QUIT IN A STORM.
A Flood of Rain Falls in the
City,
INJURY TO THE GROWING CROP
Heavy Downpour Here With Wind in
Eastern Portion of State Small
Crops Are Injured Watercourses at
Flood Tide.

March, a gutter today, changes now
from Its erstwhile calm and peaceful
demeanor and promises to make bad
weather record in it's departure. The
downpour of rain in the early hours
yesterday morning, following the con-
tlnued rain of Sunday, resulted in
much damage.
For ten or twelve hours the rain fell
with only brief intermission.
While little damage resulted in
the city, beyond the washing of
streets and injury to gardens, much
harm was done in the farming districts
to growing crops.
Fields of young corn, IN some local.
ties, were probably submerged, while
injury to cotton fields just planted re :
suited as well. An end is put to farm
work for several days, already, and if
the rains continue, as threatened yes
terday, little effective work can be done
here this week.
Muckalee creek was running high
yesterday, while the Flint and Chatta-
hoochee rivers were trimming with
their yellow tide.
Conditions were worse in the eastern
portions of the state, where a fierce
gale swept the coast country. 1t is to
be hoped that q cold wave will not fol-
follow this season of rain, as such
would certaily bring disaster upon this
entire section.
