Mentso.sery Federar Building.

"when the annex to our Federal building Is completed" said a govern ment officer of Montgomery. We will have the most complete building of its kind in the South.
 Just now everything in the build ing is topsy-turvy but the contract re- quires that the work be finished by January 1st, and the workmen are mak- ing an effort to that end.
 "One of the greatest improvements in the building will be the enlargement and refunishing of the United States court room which has been located on the second floor of the new annex which runs back on Lawrence Street instead of the old narrow and cramped office. Judge Jones's chambers will be large and roomy. He will have an ante room for his private secretary and the reception of visitors. It will also have library.
 '"The clerk of the court will be located on the second floor and the Weather Bureau will be removed to the third floor.
 z Not the least of the improvements Is the enlargement of the postoffice and the increased facilities for serving the public"

Reunion of Brothers.

Yesterday was a happy union. It was a love feast among four brothers who fought on opposite sides in the Civil War. They are E. s. Christine, R. B Christine, F. J. Christine and William Christine, all of Todd County, Kentucky.
 All these brothers came to Mont gomery yesterday to visit relatives. Before coming here they determined to visit the State capitol. There they would plight an indissoluble union in the sacred precincts of the Capitol of the Confederacy
 The contemplated happiness was yes- terday afternoon consummated. The fraterna1 quartette visited the capitol There they stood and gazed reverently upon the consecrated spot where Jeff ferson Davis stood. Through the whole building they went, finding reminis- cences of day of separation to match in glorious contrast with the present day of reunion.
 E. 6. Christine enlisted in the Federal army on the same day that his three brothers allied themselves with the Confederates. Such family partitions were not wholly rare in the border States of Kentucky where these four lived.

That was . very fine letter of MT. Grayson's. published in this mornings Advertiser" remarked visitor 10 Montgomery yesterday He evident ly 0 close observer and knows tne capabilities and inclinations Of the average negro laborer. The statement he makes of the small amount or work done by the average negro tenant IS perhaps startling to those not engageo in farming, but there are thousands of land owners all over Alabama who can bear testimony to its truth. A white family who works farm. con sfsting of the same number as the negro tenants to whom MT Grayson alluded would make more than twice as much corn and cotton on the same amount of land and not as good land either
 T do not say this from a spirit of diUlike of the negroes, but say 1t with regret, because would like to see them prosper. The better off that any work ing people are the better 1t is for the community at large.
 If negroes would farm as they should they would soon be independent, but they will not and MT. Grayson Is right in showing that Booker Wash ington is in error in attributing their failure to get along better to anything else than their own laziness. They will not think of tomorrow and that Is their main trouble. wish that every negro land cultivator in Alabama, would resolve to work better and more systematically during the coming year than he ever did before. It will be money and comfort into their pockets.

 The old negro is Jim Boiling. He Is of charcoal look white He is car greaser at the Louisville and Nashville shops. The greasy marks on his favorite post bear ample evidence of that fact. He Is 50 years old and has been an empioye of the Louisville and Nashville shops ever since the days of Master Mechanic Mcfarland at the shops where the Atlantic Coast Line shops are located now, in the days of wood burning engines.
 From a general engine greaser Jim says he has been promoted. T wipes passenger engines now," he says.

McCool, M. McCool, Nichols, Nau-
creede and Orr.
OF these men only Captain Haggard
was regular on last years team.
Tfilman played well in 1902 at end, but
had to quit the squad early on ac-
count of an injury. He should prove
a strong man this year..
Bayse was a Sub" end last season
and had plenty of ginger. He is a lit
tie light, but will make a strong race
for an end position. Bigger, of last
years baseball team, is another prom
Using candidate for end.
Bushyhead, the fast Indian, is out
again, but is no heavier than last year
so will probably have to develop more
ferceneSS in his attacks on the line.
Green, one of the new men, is very
fast and heavy and gritty, as well. He
is the making of a fine half-back. He
is every inch a football man.
Love of the 1902 Kansas eleven is
improving in form. He weighs 212
pounds, and, when given the ball at
fullback, charges like a veteran. Mich
oils was a. sub halfback last year and
is a very strong and steady player.
Big Easy" Anderson will be out
again and with a little more ginger,
ought to tear holes big enough to drive
line.
Anderson gains in favor every day
as a halfback, seeming to walk right
over the men put against him in the
try-outs.
Several men are being tried as
'fpunters." Bigger, Love and Acher-
son are the most promising of the lot.
Love averages SO yards right along
and can go so in a pinch.

KANSAS NEWS.
An Oil Purchasing Station Is
Billed for Chanute.
Officials Of Standard Make Such
Recommendation.
PERU is In LINE ALSO.
The Needesha Refinery Loses
Two Strong Fields.
Chanute and Humboldt to Run
Hereafter to Humboldt.

Chanute, Kan, Sept. 2O.-An import
ant conference was held here between
Joseph Seep, of Oil City, Pa, general
purchasing agent for the Standard
Oil company, and John O'Brien, pipe
line superintendent for Kansas, Ohio
and Indiana, and a special committee
of the Local Oil Producers association.
The matters under discussion were in
regard to the 20-cent differentiaI be-
tween North and South Neodesha oil
prices. and the establishment of a pur-
chasing station at this point. The mat
ter of credit balances was also taken
UP.
The officials promised that. they would
recommend the location of the purchas-
ing station here, which assures it. The
oil producers in the North Neodesha
field will be greatly identified, as the
station will enable them to secure
checks for oil from two to four days
sooner than at present. Checks are is
sued from the Neodesha office. Not
only Chanute viii secure a purchasing
station. but it is said that Peru, Bar
tlesville, and one or two other points
will be equally as fortunate.
We intend to give to the Kansas
field the same accommodations and
treatment as the eastern fields Me.
O'Brien said.
As to the differential the officials
promised to take the matter up at once
in the east and gave assurances that
the matter would be adjusted satisfac-
torfly.
The last oil from the Chanute and
Humboldt oil fields has been run to the
Neodesha refinery. From this time on
all oil I'm the North field will be run to
the Humboldt tank farm or to the Sugar
creek refinery, at Kansas City. An end
TO congestion for the North field has
come. for by the completion of the
Standard pipe line a great amount of
storage room is made available at
Humboldt
TheKansas City pipe line and the line
from Chanute to Humbo have been
completed. The latter line holds 1.750
barrels and in the test it took a little
over three hours to fill it. The test was
all that could be desired. no leaks of
any consequence being found.
The first tank on the Humboldt farm
has been completed and another will be
completed there in a few days, giving
10000 barrels storage at once.
Not only will this storage at Humboldt
be available. but oil will be run soon
from Humboldt to Kansas City. The
pipe line alone will hold 10000 barrels,
and then several $4,000 barrel storage
tanks are already completed at Sugar
creek. The Humboldt-K Kansas City line
will be tested this week. 1t will be
filled with water at first asian oil test
would be too expensive if some bad
leaks should be found The water test
will take two or three days and after
the line is inspected and the leaks fix
ed oil will be started through it and
from that time it will be kept filled.

Gopher Team Is Light.
AT MINNEAPOLIS

DIR Williams during the last week
has given his men daily scr1mmage
work in order to- try the new men and
harden them down to the real work.
Capt. Strathern at center will prob
ably be the only veteran in the line
unless Burdick returns and goes in at
end. There are a dozen or more
husky men trying for the guard and
tackle positions. Kicker, one of last
seasons scrubs, is heavier than ever
and if he can keep close to the ground
and develop more speed will be like
ly man for one of the guards. .--
big Dan Smith is learning to car
ry his 230 pounds at a surprisingly
fast clip Brush and Tschabold are
two of the mofesPromising freshmen
candidates for line positions. Case, a
record, Joined the squad a few days
ago and looks promising. The loss of
the famous Germany Schacht will
be greatly felt in the line.
At the ends Marshall and Luce of
last years second team are picked as
the probable winners, although Cans
and Dick Hunter are pushing them
hard for honors.
In the absence of both Harris and
O'Brien new men have been tried at
quarter with remarkably good results.
Fred Hunter, little $50 pound fresh
man, is attracting much comment by
his clever and speedy way of handling
the team. In returning punts he al
most rivals Harris by his ability to
run through a broken field. Varco, the
baseball player, is in the same class as
Hunter and has the distinction of be-
ing the first scrub to score against
the first team. This he did by a pref
ty ninety yard run through the entire
team.
1t is now stated positively that
O'Brien's knee has not yet sufficiently
recovered from last seasons injury to
permit of his playing. Accordingly
the quarterback position lies between
Harris, .Varco and Hunter.
IrsfeId is playing his usual strong,
steady game at right half. Davies is
expected to join the squad at once and
play left half During his absence
Neussle and Kremer of last years
scrubs and several new men are being
tried. Currant has returned and is at
his old place, full back.
The kicking department is likely to
be weak this year unless some new
man appears tn do the work
