It is said that the steamer will reach here on Monday af- ternoon. and to that end q berth at the railroad docks has been made ready for the vessel.
 The importation of sisal grass was at one time very important item at this port and there were many work ing men here who regretted it very much when the industry was stopped. The indications are that this trade will again be picked up and the usual ac- tivity with handling 1t will again be resumed.

A meeting of the Malaga Square Association has been called for Mon- day night, at which time there win be some important steps taken in regard to the improvement of the square af- ter which the association is named. This organization Is composed of en- thusiastic citizens who are looking to the upbuilding of their part of the city and who have exhausted means to enlist very active aid from the city. Personal subscriptions have been made up, and the most beautiful pub lie square in the city has been the result of their efforts. .

ALABAMA RUNAWAYS
GEoRGIANs DISCUSS EL0PEns FRoM
 SISTER STATES.
Freechers of Columbus Clain That Romantic Young Girls Under Legal Age should be Pre-
 tected by Marrtage.

Columbus, Ga. Aug. 2s.-(Special.-- Quite lively discussion is going on here as to the propriety of issuing marriage licenses to and marrying young runaway couples, most of them elopers from the State of Alabama, in this city. Several communications on the subject have appeared in the local press and the ministers. in self defense, are taking hand in the discussion !. For many years 1t has been custom for runaway couples in East Alabama to come to Columbus, this being the nearest city in the adjoining State. and this city has acquired the reputation of being the Gretna Green of Alabama couples who desired to be married un- der circumstances other than prosaic Often the girls are under age. Ere Quently girls in short dresses have come to Columbus from points nearly 100 miles distant. villages near Mont gomery and Birmingham, and 1t can be readily seen that they are not more than 16 or 16 years of age.
 Wonder is expressed that couples can get marriage licenses under such cir cumstances,. but this Is explained by the ordinary. who says that when "a young couple are a long ways from hOhS, III a StEdu8c CIty, WltN no Ir1enQS or relatives who may aid and advise them. if they wish to get married the best thing to do is to marry them; the honor of the young girl often de- mands that the license be issued, for if 1t Is not she would be placed in most embarrassing position. Couples often arrive on the night trains from Alabama
 Local ministers. in explaining why they marry young couples from Ala bama and other points give practically the same reason. One minister says over his signature: If had a daughter wandering around a strange city at night with a man whom she mad determined to marry. would thank the brother minister who gave her the protection of a legal marriage"
 The other side of the question is be- ing presented vigorously. One writer. Consistency" protests against the marriage of romantic children" and says that he law relative to the issuing of license should be strictly enforced.

MODfle Aug. Zo.
 A rumor is out to effect that a com bination of interests will one way or another, be effected between the Con- sumers Ice Company and the Ameri- can Ice and Fuel Company of this city. Interested persons could not be seen today to verify the statement, which was given The Advertiser by one who. perhaps is in a position to know of its correctness.
 The last named company was organized the past year and at the beginning of the present heated period began putting its products on the mar ket. With the advent of the new con- cern the price of ice which. the year before had been 30 cents. was reduced to IS cents per hundred and the people were the beneficiaries. This price maintained for some time and, suddenly advanced to 25 cents per hundred. It was then suggested by some that the appearance was for a consolidation of the older with the late conner Into the field of selling ice.

which they did. Gen. Ewing at once
had him arrested and taken to Kansas
City. The citizens of Leavenworth
were intensely incensed and at once
asked the president to release Anthony
and return him to his home. Within
twenty-four hours Anthony was home
and brought with him a lifting of the
martial law.
That was the first incident in his
stormy career which later fastened
upon him the name of Fighting Dan

The street duel with revolvers be-
tween himself and Col. Jennison, over
one of Anthony's characteristic edi-
torials, six shots being fired on each
side. has been told a hundred times.
The attempt of another Leavenworth
editor by the name of Embry came
close to costing Anthony his life. 1t
occurred in 1872. Differences had
grown up between the two men. One
night Anthony was coming out of the
theater. Embry stepped in front of
Linn and fired. The ball entered his
cheek. grazing downward and sever
ing the artery in his neck His life
was despaired of, but within three
months he was back again at his desk.
Embry was killed shortly afterward
in saloon quarrel with his partner.
But his quarrel with ex-Sheriff
Bond, while his last, was one of the
worst He and Bond were enemies of
standing One day they met on the
street, and Bond struck him. An
thony reached into his pocket for his
revolver. A friend came to Bonds
rescue, and the two tried to hold the
famous old editor. But he succeeded
in getting his revolver from his
pocket and pressed it against Bonds
breast By accident, Bonds friend
got his finger between the trigger and
guard of the pistol. and Anthony could
not discharge the gun.
In the struggle which followed An
thony was kicked in the face and bad
ly hurt Later young Dan Anthony
met Bond on the street and avenged
his fathers insult This delighted the
cid man to such an extent that he
gave his son a large and valuable
farm.
Col. Anthony established the Leav-

Life of Col. Daniel r. Anthony Re
pIete With Incident
The serious illness of Col. d r. An
ihony of Leavenworth, Kan. caused
alarm among his many friends. He
has been pronounced out of danger.
Daniel R. Anthony was born Aug.
%, 1924, in South Adams, Mass His
people were merchants, and after the
faithful education in the common
schools of New England, he, too, like
his ancestors, took up the measuring
stick behind the counter. Until his
Both year he followed this pursuit A

GUS suffragist.
Then came the days when Kansas
attracted the eyes of the country New
England sent it's blood to maintain
principle and Anthony was one OF its
representatives. He came under the
leadership of Eli Thayer, who founded
the city of Lawrence. Anthony sur
veyed the situation The conflict be-
tween slave territory and free soil
was then impending in this territory.
He went back to the east, and at the
Kansas convention at Saratoga he
told the story of the state to which
ne later went, and OF the history Oh
which he became so potent a factor.
For three years he busted himself
again in mercantile pursuits. But
the spirit of battle was strong in the
young man, and in 1857 he again set
eyes to the west, and came as he him
self said, ito help to redeem the state
and save it for freedom"
At the breaking out of the great re-
bellion over the country Anthony was
made lieutenant colonel of the First
Kansas cavalry. afterward known as
the Seventh Kansas Volunteers. In
November, 1861, at the battle of the
Little Blue, he won a decisive victory
over force of guerillas four times as
strong as his numbers.
With the close of the great con-
f1ict Col Anthony went to Leaven-
worth. After holding the position of
postmaster he was made mayor. The
same uncompromising union spirit he
carried with him into the civic affairs
of his administration. Almost at the
outset he clashed with the authorities
of Missouri. Gen. Ewing. in charge of
the border headquarters at Lawrence
declared martial law. His detectives
seized some horses in Leavenworth
claiming that they had been stolen
from a man in Missouri. Mayor An
thony resented this and ordered his

WESTERN CANADA
Three Divisions Affording Great Chances for

The old Romans used to say that
Gaul was divided into three parts;
SO is the Canadian North West Gauls
divisions were political; those of the
Western Canada prairies are created
by the unerring hand of nature.
The First Division.
Chiefly because of the elevation OF
the country, the absence Of large
lakes and rivers. and the operations
of the Chinook" or Pacific ocean
winds, which readily cross the Rocky
mountains in Southern Alberta
through gaps and passes, the south
western portion of the Canadian prov
inces is regarded as somewhat arid,
and less fertile than other portions of
the country.
Although this has been a prevailing
idea in the past. it has been left for
American settlers. who have invaded
this district within the past two or
three years, to prove that splendid
