WATER QUESTION
 HAS BEEN SOLVED
BESSEMER WATERWORkS CON- MITTEE MAKES AGREEMENT WITH MORRIS ADLER FOR cITYs WATER SUPPLY.

Bessemer May 24-(Special. )---At a con- ference last night between the water works committee of the city council and Morris Adler an agreement was reached whereby the city is to have an abundant supply of water. The new contract shall be effective as early as practical. It is now believed that the water problem in the Marvel City has at last been solved.
 The new water supply will come from Glenn, McAdory Spencer and Hawkins Springs. The contract states that the mains to be used shall be 14-inch mains. The elevation of the standpipe shall be over one hundred and ninety feet.
 The connection of the mains with Spencer Springs will be completed about Wednesday. It is estimated that the pies can be run to Hawkins springs and everything be ready for the water to be turned on in five months.
 For several years Bessemer has beer confronted with the water question and the people are very much elated that it has been satisfactorily adjusted.
 It is assured under the new system that the water supply of the city will be sufficient to afford the people and the industries water for number of years to come, even after the city shall have tripled its growth.

 The committee appointed to decide the essay contest among the students of the Bessemer High school has awarded the medal to Miss Rossalie Cecil Lopez.

DELEGATES OFF FOR MONTGOMERY Dallas Men Had Little to Com
 municate DELEGATION IS MIXED Body of Otto Rauchfuss, Who Was Reported Drowned Sunday Morn
 ing, Has Not Yet
 Been Found.
DELEGATION IS MIXED

Selma May 24.-(Special.) )--Delegates from Dallas county to the state dem- ocratic convention are leaving this af- ternoon for Montgomery and representa- tives of this county are expected to be quite settled in quarter if not in opinions by tomorrow morning. The convention has, of course, been almost the sole topic of conversation today but with all the gossip little definite has been told and what the delegates will ask for or demand is still a conundrum.
 Of instructed delegation there has been little talk. Within the delegation, thor oughly black belt as 1t is, there are at least two or three Cleveland men, and Parker is not forgotten; but these. like those who are anti Cleveland and for Hearst, are willing enough to settle upon a candidate to defeat Roosevelt The Hearst boom, so far as Is known, has as it's support Louis Bamberger who holds the proxy of John D. Riggs and A. C. Coates, who is presumed to have been elected in spite, and not because of his predilection for Hearst. The same uncommunicative spirit in regard to dele- gates at large prevails and few remarks for or against any candidates for the lat large positions have been expressed. Present indications, however, indicate that the delegation will be for the unit rule and for uninstructed delegation.
 Chambliss Keith and A. l.. Mcleod are the only delegates spoken of as candidates for the position of delegate to the nat ional convention from this congressional district.
 Rauchfuss' Body Still Unfound
 The body of Otto Rauchfuss, who is said to have been drowned in the Ala bama river Sunday morning, Is still miss ing and the diligent search of many river men has failed to bring it into view Rumors as to Rauchfuss being alive con- tinue to follow each other with remarka- ble rapidity, but no truth has as yet been gained.
