Monday a local IAN said to The Adj
vertiser: Did you know we had a
new pitcher by the name of Stewart
he is already here and may pitch to-
days game. Now the facts in this case
are that Montgomery has been after
Larrv Stewart who last year pitched
for St. Paul and this year was traded
to the Boston Nationals. Buckenberger
giving them Aubrey in exchange Alb
Powell has succeeded in landing Stew
art. his ticket and advance money hav-
ing already been sent him. and he is
expected in Atlanta in the next few
days. This is a sample of some of the
wild and woody rumors that seem to be
in perpetual motion in Montgomery.

Fire at 1890 o'clock last night par
TALLY destroyed the stable in the rear
of j. B. Smiths residence, 617 Jeffer-
son Street. entailing a loss of about
$500, which includes hack horse that
was burned to death in the flames that
enveloped the entire building.
Mr.. Smith carried $500 insurance on
the stable. but the loss of the horse
and a quantity of hay and other feed
stun will be a total loss. The fire de-
partment made a quick run to the fire
and soon had the blaze under control
but 1t looked serious for some time, as
sparks from the burning building had
set fire to three neighSoring houses.
The fire was not discovered until al.
most the entire roof was ablaze and no
clue as to the origin Is known.

THAT the battle is not always to the
strong we all know. A thousand facts
of history remind us of this. Our fight
for independence is proof of the say
ing. The Netherlands drove the might
of Spain out of their country. Spain
herself was .nce the most powerful
country in the world; today she cuts no
figure among the nations. So it may be
with Russia. At present she is carrying
on a war of words, of bluff, telling to
those who will listen how she will place
half million men in Manchuria by the
middle of May and dictate terms of
peace in Toxic itself. Why does not this
great world power act and do, instead of
threaten and promise? What has she
done thus far but sound her own might
and prophecy disaster to her opponent?

The flight of Russians from their own

the steamer Bleucher arrived at New
York from Hamburg with 900 of these

difficulty from their own country tc

were camped for two weeks near the
frontier waiting for chance to get
away, one relator saying that his party
consisting of 1877 waited twelve days in
a thicket short distance from the line
while negotiations were in progress with
the custom guards to let them across the
