ADJUSTMENTS.
East Lake Casino.

The Imperial Opera company presented 'Iolanthe' at the East Lake Casino last night and from an artistic point of view the opera was marked improvement over the production of "The Mikado,' D which was the offering for the first part of the week. Quite large audience was present and the performance seemed to give general satisfaction.
 While lacking in the humor that char ncterized "The Mikado' ''Iolanthe" is an opera that appeals especially to the eye. There were several vocal gems In the piece the ensemble effects last night were good and the staging was very sat- sfactory indeed for a summer theatre Considering the limitations under which the company labored as regarded room and lights they made a good production of an opera that is essentially spectacular. The costumes were better than those in use for the first part of the week, while the action of the plot was smooth and the members of the company in good voice.
 Miss Pauline Johnson is better "Phyl- llS llldn hii. VlioS ElncA Balch as "Iolanthe' is graceful and pret- ty and Mir. Cecil James, who played the part of Strephon, an Arcadian shepherd, has a very pleasing voice. The chorus also showed improvement.
 ''Iolanthe'' will be the bill for the re- mainder of this week, with a matinee Saturday afternoon. For summer amuse- ment the Imperial Opera company is much above the organizations that are seen at this time of the year and when the weather permits is drawing well.
 There will be the regular performance tonight

BIRMINGHAM MEAT
 SUPPLY IS AMPLE
THERE IS NO POSSIBLE DANGER OF FAMINE HERE-LARGE CON- SUMPTION OF FRESH AND SALT MEATS.

Birmingham is one of the greatest meat-eating towns in the south.
 About S5OoO pounds or salt and fresh meat and provisions are consumed in this district daily. This volume includes about 40 or 50 head of cattle. with an average weight of about 400 pounds each; 100 to 15O hogs, and many sheep. In Birming- ham proper, fresh meat is in strongest demand. but in the neighboring towns salt meats are more popular.
 The supply comes principally from the west, Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha shipping large quantities daily. The cattle killed by the local packing house come from Tennessee.
 Although this city probably consumes a little more than its share of meat products the people need entertain no fears of rise in the 'rlees as a result of the big meat packers strike in the west. The local branches of western con- cerns have a large supply of salt meat and provisions on hand, and the local packing house, in case of a scarcity, could furnish enough to keep down the prices. The live cattle are available, and in case an emergency could easily in- crease the capacity of the plant.
 A number of wholesale meat dealers were seen yesterday. and all said that there was not even possibility of any meat famine in this section of the country and especially in the Birmingham district.

FARMER LOSES IN
 SWAPPING SCHEME
GARDENER OF RosEDALE GOES UP AGAINST THREE MEN AND GETS WORST OF A FouR-coR- INBRED BARGAIN.

A farmer named Gardner, from Rose dale, was the victim of a three-cornered swapping scheme yesterday and as the result he is the loser of mule and wagon.
 Gardner came to town to sell his mule and wagon for $25 He met a country man who had a COW to sell, and who offered to swap the COW for the mule and wagon. Gardner did not like the cow, and did not swap. About that time a. third countryman joined the party, and said he would buy the COW for s25 if he liked the animal after seeing her.
 The owner of the COW told Gardner he would buy the mule for $25 if the other fellow bought the COW. and together the three went to where the COW was tied. The third man liked the COW and said he would buy 1t.
 He told the owner of the COW to wait a minute and he would go get the money. But fourth man came along about that time, and wanted to buy the mule and wagon from the former owner of the COW. The deal was made and the fourth fellow paid the new owner of the mule and wagon $25 and drove off
 The original owner of the COW told Gardner just to go along with the man who bought the COW, and he would pay him the $25. Gardner and the man who bought the COW went down the street to get the money, and the COW was left tied where it was found. The man told Gard ner to wait a minute while he went into a store to get the money. Gardner waited but waited in vain
 He finally reported the matter tC the police, and they discovered that the oth- CT men had been in combine to swindle Gardner out of the mule. Gardner says he does not want the COW, and refuses to take possession of it. The police have been unable to find the other three men.
