Too Great a Risk.

In almost every neighborboOd someone
has died from an attack Of collie or chol-
era molbus, often before medicine could
be procured or a physician summoned.
A reliable remedy for these diseases
should be kept at band. The risk is too
great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
has undoubtedly saved the lives Of more
people and relieved more pain and suf-
fering than any other medicine in use.
1t can always be depended upon Fol

SAM CHEEKS GETS
VERDICT FOR $266
SUIT AROSE OUT OF ALLEGED MA
LIclous PROSECUTION, AND
DAMAGES WERE ASKED OF CON-
STABLE ARMSTRONG EFT Al.

The jury In the case of Sam Cheeks VS..
w. j. Armstrong ct al, which has been
on trial In the City court for two days
before Judge w. W. Wllkerson, brought
in verdict last night of s2s6.3s for the
plaintiff.
The case was a damage suit against
Constable Armstrong; bond In which the
plaintiff alleged malicious prosecution.
The plaintiff claimed that while he was
under arrest by Armstrong he was Ill
treated, and was forced to sleep in
filthy clubhouse without food or water. The
main question at issue was whether or
not the constable was guilty of abuse OF
process, which the Jury affirmed.
The case arose originally out of the ar
rest of Cheeks by Constable Armstrong
at Brookside on the charge of cruelty
to animals. The case was tried before JUS
tice r. d. Coffman OF Brookside, who
found the defendant guilty.
Cheeks then appealed his case to the
Criminal court and the verdict was re-
versed and Cheeks was acquitted. He then
proceeded to bring suit against Armstrong
and his bondsmen, alleging malicious
prosecution, and this Is the case that was
tried before Judge Wikerson In which
the plaintiff RECEIVERS S266. 80.

WEEKLY REVIEW
OF IRON MARKET
Only Small Lots Were Sold by
Local Dealers
NUMBER | FOUNDRY $3.50
Rogers, Brown q Co. Report an Active
Week In the Cincinnati Market,
But the Results Are Far
From Satisfactory.
NUMBER | FOUNDRY $3.50

The iron market during the past week
was quiet and pig iron was sold only In
small lots. Few sales were made.
The prevailing prices were as follows'
No. l foundry, $3.50; No foundry and
No. 2 soft, s14.5O; No. 8 foundry, $l4; No.
4 foundry, $1S.75; gray forge and notified,
$3.50.
The past week has been an active one
on the part of sellers of pig iron in the
Cincinnati market. The trade has been
thoroughly canvassed, but the results
are far from satisfactory. as reported by
Rogers, Brown g. Co.
Consumers who have purchased claim
to have gotten various small lots at
prices below the quoted schedule, and
those not actually In need of iron give
the stereotyped answer that they will
wait a while longer. The lowering Of
prices has undoubtedly effectually driven
foreign iron out, but it has not awakened
any enthusiasm among the buyers. All
past experience teaches that a declining
market is not attractive, for 1t must be
known that rock bottom has been
reached and an advancing tendency
shown before any one will anticipate
their wants.
| = There Is one feature in the present
situation that has not heretofore been
noticeable at this period on a declining
market, which Is the expressed willing
ness of owners of furnaces not favorably
located to discontinue operations rather
than to run and lose money, hoping for
tracts for raw materials at prices I'M
profitable see no relief except In shutting
down. 1t is reported that one southern
furnace, ostensibly out of blast for re-
pairs. will probably not start, and that
another one will shortly conclude its OPP
| erations, being unable to live at cur
rent prices. 1t is believed that others will
be obliged to follow. should there be a
further decline II production was largely
, in excess of consumption the stoppage of
| these unimportant furnaces would not ex-
ert any decided influence on the market,
| but as the entire stocks of available iron
| at all the furnaces are very small, and
as the latest report showed that, taking
into account foreign iron, the production
| of the domestic was less than the ship
ments of same, it would appear that no
large falling off in the make of pig iron
would be necessary to show decrease in
stocks.

NEW BUILDING
TO Be ERECTED
THE E. E. FORBES PIANO COM.
PANY TO BUILD A HANDSOME
ONE ON THIRD AVENUE.

The best evidence that Birmingham Is
destined to be the largest city In the south
Is the many new business houses that
are being erected In the business district.
Yesterday the u. e. Forbes Piano COM
pany let a contract to Theodore Booth,
the well known contractor, for three
story brick building with basement to be
erected on Third avenue. between Nine
teenth and Twentieth streets. adjoining
the Wood Dickinson company. The build
Ing will be 25x140 feet and when complet-
ed will be the handsomest plano mouse in
the state. The entire building will be
occupied by the Forbes Piano company,
whose business has grown to such enor-
nous proportions that building OF this
kind has became a necessity. II. r.
Forbes president of the company, has
such an abiding faith in Birmingham
that he decided to have building OF his
own and remove the headquarters OF his
company from Montgomery to this city as
soon as the new building Is completed,
The II. f.. Forbes Plano company Is per-
haps better known than any other qon-
Germ of like character In the country.
They carry the largest line OF high grade
pianos and organs of any firm In the
south, handling such Instruments as the
Chlckering Everett. Mason & Hamlin.
Kranich & Bach, Krell- French and
Forbes, the last two of which is of their
own manufacture, Mr., Forbes being a
large stakeholder and director In the COM
pany manufacturing these instruments.
This Is an advantage which is not en-
joyed by other companies and is beneficial
to the purchaser, as the Forbes company
sell direct from the manufacturer to the
consumer, thus saving the middle mans
profit.
Associated with the E. E. Forbes Piano
company In this city are some OF the
cleverest plano men to be found In the
south. among whom may be mentioned ].
b. Chamberlain, manager; A. B. Cheek.
cashier; r. F. Cling, ]. r. Whitaker.
J. b. Piper r. ]. Arthur, II. M. Strange,
Arthur Bromberg and a host of others
who are always alert to the best interests
of the company.
The Forbes Piano company is to be con-
graduated on the magnificent business
they are doing. and with a building of its
own and larger facilities no doubt its
business will grow to even larger proper
lions. -

LITTLE GIRL CRIED
FOR STEPMOTHER
Woman Dehes Court But Child
is Torn from Her
PATHETIC SCENE ENACTED
Verdict In Case for the Care of Child
In Judge Greene's Court Has
Tragic End, But Order
Is Enforced.

A pathetic scene was enacted In the
criminal court yesterday afternoon by the
separation of little girl about four or
five years old from its step-mother
In the habess corpus proceedings in
stituted by George T. Roberts, adminis-
traitor for George whitehead, the little
girls deceased father, for the possession
of the child, the court decreed that the
step-mother was not the proper person to
have the child In her possession.
Judge Greene ordered that the little girl
be turned over to Mr.. Roberts, and then
the trouble began. The child screamed
and chung frantically to her step-mother.
Mrs. Ida Whitehead. Mrs whitehead be-
came tragic and when the bailiff started
forward to do his duty, she exclaimed that
they could only take the child from her
over her dead body.
Judge Repeated His Orders.
Judge Greene had to come down from
the bench and ask the bailiff II 1t was
necessary for him to repeat his orders.
BY this time the child's creams had at
tracted the attention of the whole court
house and when she was finally torn away
from Mrs. w nlteneau, MT. ftopetlS piSNeu
her up and carried her from the court
house, while she cried at the top of her
voice.
The case has quite a history. George
Whitehead was an engineer on the South
ern railway and lost his life at the time
the engine ran of the Cahaba river
bridge. Mrs. Ida whitehead was his sec
ond wife, and there has been considerable
discussion over who should get the money
for which Mr.. Whiteheads life was In
sured. his living wife or the children of
his first wife.
Roberts Made Administrator.
George T. Roberts. friend of Mr..
Whitehead. was made administrator of
the deceased mans estate. and he took
steps to prove that Mrs. Whitehead was
not a proper person to have charge Of
the children. and the court has sus-
tanned him.
The little girl has been in Mrs White
heads possession for the past six months,
and the child had evidently become pas
sonately fond of her.
Mr.. Roberts will put the little girl and
her younger brother under the care Of
his sisters.

A rule has recently been put into force
by the railway department of the Bir-

service stripes to motormen and conduc-

A man who has been in the employ
of the company for a year is entitled to

Two years service entities him to two
stripes and so on until five years have
