 The Alabama Cotton Products Co.,. however, had four overdue notes with the Consolidated National Bank of New York for 5000 each, one overdue note with c. O: Bogert for s5.ooo and one note with the First National Bank of Chicago for $2.500.
 These three creditors of the Pro- ducts Company on October filed pro- ceedines in Involuntary bankruptcy against the company and the matter came up yesterday for reference.
 The reference was held at the office of the Cotton Products Company on ac- count of the difficulty of removing the books to the Federal building. w. E. Hecker. formerly General Manager of the Company and one of the receivers appointed by Judge Sayre, was exam ined. The case was continued until November 22, when the reference will again be taken up.

by Recorder Arlington yesterday af- ternoon. The evidence was largely circumstantial and not strong enough for conviction.
 Robert Hales alias Conley Hayes. a negro, accused of stealing a set of harness from Abercrombie's store on the Red Bridge road several nights ago. was also discharged on the evil dence brought out in the trial of the case.
 A charge of carrying a concealed pistol docketed against him. Haies was also dismissed as the evidence went to show that he had the pistol In one hand and the cartridge cylinder in the other when he was arrested. When tho cylinder Is out of pistol, 1t Is not considered weapon under the law.

Department Called Twice But Little
 Damage Resulted.
 The Montgomery Fire Department had two runs of minor consequence yes- terday. one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
 At o'clock yesterday morning. an alarm was answered from 426 Clayton Street, owned and occupied by E. E.. McAdams, where sparks from a chim- ney had set fire to the side of the front porch. The house Is near the Five Points fire station and the firemen ex- tinguished the blaze with Babcocks be- fore 1t had done any material damage. The loss is probable $1o. covered by insurance.
 The explosion of gas stove In the home of Frank Browder. corner of Jef- ferson Davis Avenue and Goode Street at 1920 o'clock, called the firemen to the place on telephone alarm.
 No one was hurt and the explosion did no damage to the house. as no fire resulted from the explosion. It Is sup posed to have been caused by the im- proper lighting of an oven of the stove. where gas had accumulated by open valves. The door of the stove was blown off its hinges. but otherwise no damage was caused by the explosion.

That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolv- ent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regard ing them that Is not justified by the strongest evidence.

NEW PoLICH UNIFORMS.
Mcntxomery Force will Soon DOn Their
 WinteF Garments.

Wfnter Garments.
 The order for the winter uniforms of tho Police Department has been made and the members of the force have been engaged for several days in hav- ing their measures taken for their suits.
 The uniforms win be of the regula- tion type and will be made of an ex- cellent duality of cloth. notable im- provement in the uniforms for the bicy- cie patrolmen will be wide collar which may be turned up about the neck as protection against the cold winter winds. The men are unable to wear overcaats while riding their wheels and therefore are exposed greatly to thes cold. They figure that the vida collars will prevent many 6 frost bitten ear during the coming winter.
 It will be remembered that the un- settled condition of the force last winter necessitated the waiting of the men to see what the changes in the department would be. The police reorganization was delayed so long b, the City Council that the winter wal almost over before the force was re. organized and the men knew where they were at" As a result, no uni. forms were bought and the preserveri of order and decorum in the city walk ed their beats on cold drizxling winter nights wearing light summer suits.

Chips for Lumbermen.

In the general lum Der market shingles
show the best improvement. Stars seem
to be more active than clears, which are
about ten cents below what they should
be. There is only about ten cents differ.
ence at present between stars and clears,
whereas the usual difference is twenty
cents. The mills started up week ago
ant as it takes from one to two weeks to
fill the dry kilns, some speculation is rife
as to whether shingles Will drop again
when the new product comes on the
market. The wage question seems to be
adjusting itself and better feeling pre-
walls.
Shingles mills in Tacoma are pretty
generally running as well as along the
Tacoma Eastern Railroad.
The new mill which the Rucker Broth
ers are building at Lake Stevens, Pierce
county, on the site of the old Missimer
MILL is going up rather slowly on account
of difficulty in getting teams. The mill
will be combined lumber and shingle
mill, with daily capacity OF so 600 feet
of lumber and 100000 shingles. A spur
to the mill is being built from Hartford
Junction. The new mill will be an up
to-date plant and will give employment
TO a number Of men.
Anacortes, Skagit county, it is report
ed is to have two new shingle mills.
One is to be built by John Bratnober, of
the II. b. Waite Lumber company; the
other by Burpee Brothers, of Enterprise.
The latter enterprise will also include in
its equipment d cedar siding plant
These gentlemen have been manufactui-
ing clapboards for the past two years and
have found ready market for the entire
output in eastern cities.
Two and half million shingles have
been shipped this month by the Mineral
Lake Mill Company, Pierce Co., which
is operated under the personal man
agement OF John McPhail.
The dry kiln OF the Morrison Bros.
single mill at Fernda!e, Whatcom
county, was destroyed by fire last
month. With it 100000 were con-
sumed. Only about 100000 shingles
were saved. The loss is estimated at
about $3 800 with 50 900 insurance. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
After several months of comparative
slackness, the shingle mills Of Vancouver
B. c., and vicinity are again running
to full capacity. Some are working
night and day to keep up with the
orders which have been pouring in on
them for the past two or three weeks.
