How to Get irrigation Land.

People desiring to take up land or
o make homes under any of the nu-
merous irrigation projects that are un-
dertaken by the government will find
he requirements for securing patents
to the land much more rigid than any
of the former land grants made by
the government. The reclamation act
is designed to circumvent any land
grabbing schemes, and requires actual
residence upon the land for five years
The law will be thoroughly discussed
at the irrigation convention held in
Spokane October in Elks' temple.

Mukden is believed to be due not only
to the fatigue of the Japanese troops
and the slowness in getting up neces-
sary additional supplies, but to dis
tinct understanding between the Chin
ese and Japanese that there shall be
no bloodshed near the ''holy city,"
where the Chinese emperors are bur-
led. 1t is expected that there will be
fighting north of Mukden, possibly on
larger scale even than at Liaoyang.

Friends of Dead Men Threaten venge- ance and He Is Saved By Being Rushed Out of
 Town.

Montgomery. September 1.-0special)- Bud Tucker was instantly killed today. his brother, Jim Tucker. fatally injured, and a bystander. Oscar Jacobs, perhaps ratally injured by Abe Hammonds, night marshal of Florala, Ala.
 Immediately after the shooting friends Of the dead man gathered, and Ham, mond's life was saved only by rushing him out Of town on a special train. From what can be learned 1t had been the practice of the two Fuckers to come Into town and bulldoze the officers. They were inclined. 1t is said, to load up heavily, and when so charged were hard to handle.
 Shortly before noon today they came Into Elorala looking for trouble. Ham, monds had a double-barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot, and turned loose on the pair. The first shot snuffed out Bud Fuckers life at once. Most of the second charge buried itself in Jim Tuck CTS stomach and side, producing gap struck Jacobs, wounding him terribly in the lungs.
 The day marshal immediately put Ham monds under arrest, and seeing that the friends of Tucker were determined to take his life, pressed train into service and got the prisoner out of town barely in time to save him from the fury oi those who were seeking his life He was placed in jail at Andalusia, and things have quieted down at Florala.

RURAL ROUTES DUE
 TO THE DEMOCRATS
CHAIRMAN coWHERD DENIES
 STATEMENT MADE BY REPUBLl- CANS THAT THEY ORIGINATED
 THE SYSTEM AMONG FARMERS.

Washington, September 1.-(special.)- Chairman Cowherd of the democratic congressional committee issued a state ment today, in which he says that among other mis-statements in the republican campaign book Is the one claiming for that party the origination of rural free delivery for the benefit of farming com munities.
 He says there was no rural free deIiv- cry prior to 1892. Postmater General Wa namaker had recommended its extension to smaller villages and cities. but had not recommended free delivery for the farming communities The first sugges- ton of the kind was made by Congress- man Livingston of Georgia, who on June a. 1892, offered an amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill providing that two hundred thousand dollars be ap- propriated for experimental rural free delivery outside the towns and villages. That amendment was ruled out of order and other similar amendments offered by democrats met the same fate.
 In 1893 Thomas E. Watson, then a democratic member of congress from Georgia, offered a similar bill appropria- ting ten thousand dollars. This being democratic congress- that amendment was adopted and the bill became a law. Un- der Postmaster General Wilson, demo- crat, the first eighty four rural routes were established,

 Portions of the frame work near the opening of the mine has been put out but 1t is stated that the men are exper- encing considerable trouble in getting at the bottom of the pit in order to make an effective stand against the flames.
 It Is probable that the company will find 1t necessary to flood the mine be- fore the fire Is put out However there Is some talk of smothering the flames by closing all the air holes and openings.
 The mine is one of the seven that are operated by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company at Readers. In all the company has expended over slooO,oOo in constructive work and buildings to put the mines In shape for operation.

New York, September 1.-Another fruit less effort to settle the threatened trouble between the Inter- Borough Rapid Tran sit company and the employees was made today by committees representing both interests. At the conclusion of the meet ing which was held at the home of Aug ust Belmont, tfe announcement was made that no agreement had been reached. MT. Belmont was of the opinion that the situation would be adjusted without se- rious trouble. Assistant Grand Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers took more pessimistic view.
 The situation is critical" said he, when asked how the negotiations had progressed
 Speaking of todays conference. MT. Belmont said:
 sAve were not able to agree but the committee Is considering some proposition and another conference will be held at which l hope to have the trouble ad- 5usted. fi do not believe there will be any strike, and l think that everything will come out all right in the end.'
 Chief Stone later made statement in which he said:
 The engineers of the Inter-B Borough Rapid Transit subway asked that the wage scale and hours of labor now in effect on the 1nter-Borough (namely tS.50 for nine hours; the company only offers $3 for ten hours), be extended to the subway operated by the same cor poration.

 THE NOMINATION

 MITTEE AT NISTON-HEFLlN LEAVES THE COMMITTEE ROOM.

Anniston, September 1.-(special.) )-Af- ing many hours w. w. Whiteslde of Cal houn was nominated tonight for chancel- Tor of the northeastern chancery divis- ion to succeed the late Harry J. Gillian by the executive committee of the chan cery division.
 The nomination was made at late hour to night after many wrangles ana after J. Thomas Hefin as champion of the cause of E. M. Oliver of Chambers county with his friends had left the | meeting in anger.
 The names before the committee besides that of MT. Whiteside were Chancellor R. B. Kelly of Calhoun, B. B. Bridges of Coosa and R. A. D. Dunlap of Etowah, but the race was largely between Cham cellor Kelly and MT. Whiteside. The re- tirement of MT. Heflin and his friends from the meeting resulted in MT. Oliver 8 name not coming before the committee, although one vote was cast for him. The nomination of Mir Whitesde was made on the fifth ballot.
 The real wrangle originated with the re- port of the committee on credentials and it must be said to Mir. TIefln's credit that he made one of the most obstinate fights to carry his contention that has ever been seen here.
 The nominee MT. Whiteside resides in Oxford, but has a law office in this city and the selection of the committee meets with the approval of all. He was a member of the constitutional convention and formerally served in the legislature as representative from Calhoun county.
