The fight on Farrelly's reelection
as state chairman does not seem to
be making much Roadway this after
noon. Farrelly is mighty popular and
is recognized as a good politician.
All of the Democrats are talking
fusion. even those who have opposed
it heretofore. This includes most of
the gold standard Democrats.
DR.. F. B. Lawrence, who was a free
silver Republican but is now Populist,
and who is one of the three Populist
national committeeman, recently elect
ed by the Springfield convention, is for
fusion. and believes it will be necessary
to fuse under the Democratic head.
Judge Andrews of Lacrosse. who may
be Fred Dumont Smiths opponent for
state senator in that district, is of the
same opinion. He does not think an
independent ticket practicable.
Mos of the PopuliStS are expected on
the late trains this afternoon and to-
night. They do not have to bother
with organizing. the PopuliSt conven-
ton which will meet tomorrow in Rep
resentative hall is simply an adjourn
ed session of last ApriTs convention. 1t
is already organized with Major A. NJ.
Harvey as chairman.

SCHOOL MONEY is NEEDED
E. X. Campbell Is Making Up Strong
Campaign Committee of Repre-

son County.

E. X Campbell, who is championing
the cause of the schools in Jefferson
county. was busy yesterday arranging
for the appointment of a committee to
work In favor of an additional 10 cents
tax for the benefit of these schools at the
election to be held June 20.
Mr.. Campbell and his friends are await
ing the addition of several names from
the rural precincts. When the committee
is composed of 100 representative citizens
the full list will be announced and pub
lished
Mr.. Campbell said yesterday that it was
very necessary that this tax be levied.
as it meant much for the future Of the
choldren of the county. 81 estimate"
he said, that this additional tax will
raise in round figures $4,000 and this
much is badly needed The schools of
Birmingham must have more money and
the schools of the county are just as
much In need. Last year there was not
enough money on hand to run the public
schools of Birmingham and with more
schools this year it will be impossible to
operate them successfully without more
funds. With new schools scattered

is the purpose of the board of education
to have these school buildings erected in
localities where such establishments
would be more convenient to the pupils
and their parents.
"As to the county" continued Mr..
Campbell, more money has always been
needed In many precincts the schools
are not maintained more than four
months In a year. Children who go to
school four months and then rest eight
months are liable to forget what they
have learned. 1t is our purpose to raise
this money so that the county schools
can have terms of seven or eight months.
1t will then be easier to get good teach
ers Few teachers care to accept
contract for four months, but
many of them would be glad to
teach a seven months term. feel
quite sure that the people will vote for
additional tax of 10 cents on the hundred
dollars as 1t means so much for the chill
dren of the county. 1t must be remem-
bered that this is a local tax and all of
the money raised will be used right hero
in Jefferson county and will not go the
channel of the state treasury"

NO LOCAL ACTION
ON POOL SELLING
CASE MAY BE TAKEN TO U. s.
coURT-ATToRNEYs HERE ARE
NOW CONSIDERING THE MAT
TER.

No official notice of the decision of the
supreme court in the case of the mayor
and board of aldermen VS.. Brown has been
received in the chancery court, and for
that reason Chief wier and the police de-
partment have taken no steps towards en-
forcing the ordinance against pool selling
in the city.
Copies of the decision have been re-
ceived by Powell and Blackburn, attor-
neys for the Old Dominion Telegraph
company and fer Brown, and City Attor-
ney Ed Smith has also received copy,
but these are not official.
Mr.. Blackburn said last night that the
decision does not touch on the constitu-
tionality of the city ordinance which pre-
vents the posting OF the results of horse
races on blackboards and also calling
them off, and that this point will be con-
tested. He also stated that the attorneys
for the Old Dominion company and for
Brown were thinking of appealing the
case to the United States supreme court.
This matter will be determined today. 1t
is probable that the case against Brown
will be re-opened at Montgomery as It Is
claimed the decision does not touch on the
points at issue between the aldermen and
Brown.
1t is expected that the decision will be
received by the court today, and that
then the police department will be in POSI-
ton to act.

When the tickets issued are sold the
money must be deposited in the First

tickets will be given fifty extra votes as
a prize and the second will get thirty

A valuable addition to the children's
geological garden arrived yesterday in
the shape of a beautiful pair Of gray
foxes, presented to the boys by the
Schillinger Brewing company.
The two little animals were left at
The Age-Herald business office, but
were promptly sent to the fire depart

Cummings and Bennett. who are great
lovers of animals and who have made a
study of zoology, have agreed 20 care
for such contributions until the boys are
ready to install the animals in the zoolo-
gical garden to be established as soon as
a site has been selected by the city. The
boys are very thankful to the brewing
company and say that other such dona-
tions will be gladly received. Any con-
tributions of animals If left at The Age

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bijou.

The Bijou Opera company gave another
excellent performance last night to an
audience that was not as large as it
should have been. The company sings
unusually we'll and at Bijou prices is an
attraction that deserves liberal patron
age. Miss Hemmi's splendid voice IS
heard to good effect every night and
she is heartily encored.
One of the most amusing features of the
performance is comical travesty on a
ballet dancer given in the third act by
Harry Carter, who plays the part of
James McSnuffy, a Scottish vagabond.
The little skit never fails to create much
laughter.
There will be the usual matinee this
afternoon and performance tonight. The
curtain will rise tonight promptly at
s15 O'Clock. Next week vaudeville bill
will be offered. The sale of seats began
yesterday morning and thus far indi-
