Bankruptcy Proceedings fin Case of
 Huntsville Spinning Mills.
 Huntsville, Feb. 11.-(Special. )-The Madison Spinning Mill of this city has been placed in the hands of James R. Boyd, cashier of the Huntsville Bank and Trust Company, as receiver, by bankruptcy proceedings in the District Court of the United States. A petition in bankruptcy was filed against the cc mpany late yesterday afternoon by Cooper & Foster, attorneys for the Be- titioners all of whom are nonresident corporations. The bankrupt company is capitalized at $300,0O0 and their mill represents an investment of nearly that amount. has 15.000 spindles and em- ploys 250 people. The receiver will probably continue to operate the plant for the benefit of creditors.
 The cotton planters of Madison Coun- ty held precinct meetings today, re- ceived reports of the committees ap- pointed to ascertain the exact acreage and elect delegates to attend the coun- ty convention of cotton growers in this city next Saturday. The sentiment In this county Is quite unanimously in fa- vor of a curtailment to whatever may be agreed upon in the cotton acreage.
 Huntsville Lodge No. 698 of the B. P. O. Elks has instructed the Finance Committee to negotiate the sale of $S5, ,0OO of per cent. twenty-five or thirty year bonds to secure funds for the erection of the proposed Elks' Home and theatre in addition to the amount now in hand from the sale of 200 life memberships.
 The promoters of the North Alabama Fair Association have received notice from the Southern Fair Circuit that n nofnhAr haa hnAn assigned for a fair in this city. The local association has not yet been or ganIzed but that matter will be looked after in the next few days. Numerous applications for privileges have already been received.
 A telephone exchange Is being in- stalled at Albertville Marshall Coun- ty, by the Southern Bell Company. The town will be connected with Huntsville and Gadsden by long distance tele- phones.
 A private bank will be established at New Market under a State charter by capitalists of that village. The cup ital will be $10,0O0 and w. B. Rodgers is President and w. F. Yarbrough, Vice. President.
 No meeting of representatives of baseball promoters in the several cities that expect to form a league to sue ceed the Tennessee- Alabama League of last year has been called yet, but mem bers of the Huntsville Association ex- peat 1t at any time. The meeting will probably be held in Chattanooga, Pres ident Read of the old league being among the leading ball lovers interest ed in the formation of the new league
 Few of the cities proposed for mem- bership have the financial matters ar ranged yet. Nothing has been done here owing to the protracted illness of President w. R. VanValkenburgh, but the old association can secure all the money required as soon as it is known that everything Is ready for the or- ganization of the new league.

The oil storu. in Kansas.

Indianapolis Sentinel.
 Kansas is stirred up over proposi- tion now pending in It's Leglsiat1are ars. to establish a State oil refinery Tor the benefit of producers. An appro- priation of $4O0.000 Is asked to carry ont the project. The producers Feel that they are being heia up oS ,,an tme wild talk Is heard in the Topeka Hotel Hobbies. Tar and feathers have been suggested for Standard oil lobbyists and the statement that hanging IS not too good for Rockefeller and his buzz Zardsn Is frequently heard rom OH producers. Meetings of citizens nave been held all over the oil belt, where petitions were signed and resolutions adopted denouncing the Standard and urging the Legislature to pass the Dill. Ministers of the Gospel have taken hand and have urged the members of tbe theit great monopoly. one excited citi- zen allowed himself to be quoted to
 T am a private citizen, you know, and speak for nobody but myself, but I am more thoroughly convinced than ever that something radical will have to be done in this land of the free and home of the brave, or modest, private citizens like myself will have to move out Everything we eat. everything we drink Is either controlled by d trust or is adulterated. Congress will do nothing, so it is time for the people 10 DeBln tO bFL INAl9 AO uO SOlitAlllilEs
 We are not fully informed as to Kansas conditions. nor as to the merits of the present lurid controversy, but a general knowledge of the methods practiced by the Standard oil Com pany naturally leads the dislntercsted onlooker to side with the producers It is hardly likely, however. that the State will go into the oil refining busi- ness. The mere fact that 1t Is asked to do so shows that the people out there have no faith in the ability of a private enterprise to compete sue cesefully with the powerful monopoly that controls the oil business of the country The experiment has been tried, but always with disaster. Men who have money realize the desperate risk.
 II should not be so, certainly. but the chances are that the Kansas pro- ducers will have to accept in the end such terms as the Standard chooses to make and look pleasant. The present whirlwind is no doubt born of righ- teous wrath, just as others have been, but It will break itself against the hard front of the Rockefeller opposi- ton just as others have done.

 Water Finder a Charlatang

The cavities left in bones after surgi- | cal operations have been source of much trouble, discharges of pus usu- | ally continuing for months. Acting on the hint given by dentists operations | on decaying teeth, Professor Moor hof of Vienna about five years ago be- | gan seeking a means of arti1cially fill- ing the bone cavities, and for a time experimented with a pNtty-like paste of iodoform. This failed to reach all parts of the cavity. A new filling has | been adopted, therefore, consisting of | iodoform, spermaceti and oil of sesame, and, as this melts at 122 degrees F., | it is poured into the cavity in a liquid | state, when it penetrates to every part. | The filling is absorbed and replaced | by granulation tissue so slowly that no poisoning occurs. This method has been applied in about 220 cases, and it Is claimed that there has been no failure.
 Radium argentiferum, the new metal of to Tuscan engineers, is now known | to consist of copper, iron and minute | portions of silver, radium and phos- | phorus. The remarkable properties are attributed chiefly to the phosphorus. The metal is claimed to be stronger than steel, to resist oxidation, to equal
  to cost in large quantities only a tenth as much as bronze.

 A new and rapidly developing indus try of Algeria is the cultivation of the soap tree. which has been named sapindus utilis, and which has proven superior to similar plants of India, Japan, China and Central America. The tree grows to a height of forty or fifty feet. reaching ten feet in the first two years. It begins to bear in six years. and at full maturity yields annually 200 pounds of yellowish green to brown berries, varying from half an inch to an inch in diameter. The tree naS been successfully propagated only from cuttings. though seeds form a third of the weight of the fruit. Gull tivation has been confined to low-lying lands near the coast, and a plantation near the city of Algiers covers 150 acres while smaller ones are rapidly springing up. The dried fruit is ship ped to Germany. Some of 1t is em- ployed in the natural state. and che mists use much of it for a washing

 Air drawn by huge fans into the school of Technology at Manchester, Eng, is washed by a spray of water and filtered through a screen of cor- rugated sheets of galvanized iron. After the recent fogs the wash water was found to be inky black. The proportion of solid matter was large, but analysis showed little soot, but considerable iron (probably from the screen), with ammonia, lime, magnesia, trace of arsenic and much sulphuric and hydrochloric acids.
 A matter of much current interest that demands careful scientific inves- tigation is the art of the "dowser," or person claiming to have a special gift enabling him to locate underground
 
 forked twig. The water-finders have been busy of late, especially in En- gland, with varying success. Probab- ly the most common conviction is that these persons are victims of illusion, but so eminent a scientific man as Sir William Preece concludes that the hid- den water falling over pebbles, etc., may set up vibrations that act upon the sensitive abdominal diaphragm of .k,Nv. delicate frame. In illustration, he mentions that. though a good sailor and a strong man, he has himself had a feeling of sea-sickness when stand ing on temporary bridge over which cab was rapidly driven.
 A curious vegetatIon-called supra terrestrial" because 1t does not grow on the earth's surface-has been studc fed by Virgile Brandicourt, a French botanist. The oldest of the plants are those that grow on stone and brick walls, and of these 67 per cent have fine seeds, IS per cent winged seeds. and per cent are plants with fleshy fruits. Thatched roofs also have nu. merous plants, older roofs sheltering fifteen or sixteen species, while the general average is 8. A special flora is characteristic of the tops of pol lard willows, and this embraces as many as sixty eight species.
 stream of water varies in velocity at different depths. In the recent work of the U. s.

Stone in the Bladder Quickly Dissolved and Removed
 Without Danger by Warmers Safe Cure

Stone in the bladder is one form of kidney trouble-a sign that the kidneys are so diseased that they are no long CT able to remove all the uric acid and other poisonous waste matters out of the blood.
 The uric acid accumulates in the bladder and forms into little Jumps or stones, which pass away from time to time in the urine. If they are at all large they seriously injure the delicate tissues of the urinary organs, causing Inflammation, great weakness, and not infrequently convulsions and death
 When the gravel becomes so large that 1t cannot be passed the uric acid backs up through the blood. poisons the whole system. and the sufferer dies in terrib.S agony.
 There is only one way to prevent uric acid poison. and this is to dissolve the gravel without delay and get 1t out of the system by taking Warmers Safe Cure, the only medicine that can be ta ken with safety
