 Impending Strike.
ADVANCE IN IRON IS CITED

The following notice issued yesterday has caused considerable surprise and a little worry in the ranks of the commer- cial operators in the Birmingham district who employ union miners:
 Birmingham, Ala, November !, 1904. To the Operators and the Miners and
 Mine Laborers in their Employ:
 This is to certify that we, the under signed have ascertained from selling prices which we have examined that the actual selling price of pig iron at the furnaces in the month of October, 1904, did net the furnace companies over nine G900) dollars per ton and less than $9.5O per ton, and which Is also verified by the Iron Age and other trade journals. There fore, the miners and mine laborers will be entitled to an advance of two and one-half C21k) cents per ton, with a cor responding increase on dead-work and day-labor for the month of November, 1904.
 (Signed). W. R. FARLEY,
 National Board Member.
 Ed. Flynn, president.
 J. L. Clemo, secretary-treasurer
 Several of the commercial operators say they were of the opinion that they were to pay 471k cents on a flat basis pending a settlement of the strike on the furnace companies. There appears clause in the contracts, however. which says: "All terms and conditions in the present con- tract (meaning the old contract) shall re- main in full force and effect pending settlement between the United Mine Workers and the coal operators"
 The miners claim that these terms and conditions referred to the basis being fixed on the selling price of iron and that the miners are certainly entitled to the increase since iron has increased to the price which demands it.
 On the other hand the commercial op- erators or at least some of them, main- tain that he provision refers to rules and regulations. They assert that they were of the opinion that they would not have to pay more than 471s cents until the present strike was settled.
 The Alabama consolidated is the only large furnace company that employees union miners.
 It is understood that the contracts have been placed in the hands of lawyers for a legal construction of the clause in question.

SUES FOR DAMAGES.
Young Man Wants BJou Theatre Go.
 to Pay Him $to,ooo.

Christopher Gallagher minor, by his next friend. Henry W. Gallagher has filed suit in the city court of Birming- ham, against the Bijou Theatre com pany asking for damages to the amount of 5000 Tor alleged personal injuries.
 This is what is known as the Across the Pacific" suit. The plaintiff alleges that he was injured by the explosion of a bomb which was in the rear of the Bijou theatre. The bomb was said to have been swept out by stage hand, and it landed in the alley. The bomb was used in the performance of Across the Pac- fife" which hell the boards at the thea tre at that time.
 Suit was filed in the circuit court by the plaintiff some time ago against B. D. Williams and Jake Wells, the lessees of the house, and verdict for 5000 was given the plaintiff. The case was appealed to the supreme court, however and it is now pending there.

A MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY.
Mans Hat, Glasses, Pocket Book and Whlskey Found by Roadside.

While hunting hickory nuts at the foot of Red mountain Sunday afternoon two negroes came across a derby hat pair of spectacles, a pocket book and a pint bottle of rye whiskey. They could find no trace of the owner and turned the articles over to N. E. Stracner a white man, who was passing along the road. MT. Stracner now has the articles at his home in Oak Grove. which Is just over the top of Red mountain. He can be communicated with by addressing a let ter to him at Birmingham R. F. D. No. B.
 The pocket book contained a Confed- crate ten dollar bill, but had no card or anything that would indicate the indenti- ty of the owner.
 MT. Stracner. fearing that some foul play had been done, notified the sheriff of his find. No man has been reported missing within the past few days to either the police or the sheriff. The ar- ticles were all rain-soaked and were ev- idently lost on Thursday or possibly Wednesday.

While there has been comparatively it- tie betting on the national election in Birmingham 1t Is understood that there was a decided change in the odds yes terday. The betting heretofore had been about 4 to l on Roosevelt. Yesterday the odds dropped materially and one or two bets were made at 21z to 1. Even money is being bet on New York
 The Wall street odds are generally ac- cepted as a betting basis in Birmingham. but just why the odds dropped on yes terday is not understood. The odds on Wall street have not changed, except as to New York state. It is said that con- siderable money has been bet in that financial center during the past few days at even money.
 The Brooklyn Eagle estimates that Parker's majority in New York state will be about 10000, but the New York Herald refuses to make a prediction.

FOR WOMEN Much That Every Woman
 Desires to Know
  About Sanative kntisep-
 tic Cleansing
And about the Care of the Skin,
 Scalp, Hair and Hands

Too much stress cannot be placed on the great value of Cuticura Soap, 0int- ment and ResolVent in the antiseptic cleansing of the mucous surfaces, and of the blood and circulating fluids, thus affording pure, sweet and economical local and constitutional treatment for weakening alterations, innammations, itchings, irritations, relaxations, dis placements, pains and irregularities pe- culiar to females. Hence the Cutlcura remedies have wonderful influence in restoring health, strength and beauty to weary women, who have been pre- maturely aged and invalided by these distressing ailments, as well as such sympathetic sflictions as anemia, chlo- rosis, hysteria and nervousness.
 Women from the very first have fully appreciated the purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy which have made the Cuticura remedies the standard humour remedies of the civilized world.
 Millions of women use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment. for pre- serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands, for annoying irritations and ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, an- tiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves, as well as for all the pur- poses of the toilet, bath and nursery.

ODDS ON ROOSEVELT HAVE
 DROPPED IN BIRMINGHAM

If seems to be .AS \. neral that there is going to be a landslide one way or tbe other. In fact, well known citizen said yesterday that he believed Parker would he elected by large majority or would be worse beaten than was Wil- liam J. Bryan in 1896.
 Politicians throughout the United states seem to think that as New York goes so goes the country. That has been the case for many elections past. New York generally carries Connecticut New Jersey. Delaware and Indiana with her.
 The exchange of charges and letters between President Roosevelt and Judge Parker has had much to do with fixing the odds on betting. In Birmingham it seems to be the opinion that Roosevelts letter will hurt his chances and this may account for the change in odds.
