DOCkSTADER A BOGIE.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The most conspicuous thing In the lobby of the Grand is a full-length picture of Lew Dockstader in his careless dress suit and morbid silk tile showing the minstrel in the attitude of driving home one of his famous jokes.
 A mother and pair of Halloween boys started to sail into the lobby yesterday when the youngsters spied the huge pie ture, which to their nimble imagination looked most forbidding. So they baked and refused to proceed beyond the sunken doormat. Mother procured her tickets, leaving the boys open-eyed and fearful near the entrance. Rejoining the boys mother conceived an idea for future use. So arranging the twins bout face she pointed to the figure of the minstrel and said as only fond and harassed mother can when driven to the last ditch: Boys, that's the ragman. He calls for all the naughty boys, puts them in his pockets and sells them to the scrap iron man.
 The boys huddled closer than ever to mother, and the interesting family drifted out to the family carriage, the children convinced they had seen the bogieman that keeps 'em straight.

Opepinu the Warrior.

The annual report of the chief of engineers shows that work is progress ing on Locks and Dams 1, ? and 3 on the river below Demopolis. About 30 per cent of the work had been com pleted at the end of the last fiscal year. When the three locks and dams are completed six-foot navigation the year round will have been established up to point nine miles above Tusca- loosa in the coal belt. Appropriations covering the cost of the three locks in the lower river have been made, and the work is progressing, and it will be completed next year.
 The opening of the river from Lock 13 to the forks of the river, distance of thirty-seven miles, will carry the great improvement to a point nearly abreast of Ensley and Birmingham. It's extension up the Locust Fork to the bridges of the railroads would bring it to the heart of this district, and the entire work need not consume more than five years.

Conditions in Party Ranks.

A wave of opposition to bossism and graftism is spreading over the country, and party lines are widely and freely disregarded. In the contests in cities over city issues party lines are scarce iy discernible. The non-ofiicial voter pays no attention to the rallying cries of machines and party leaders. He takes, on the other hand, no little pride in a determination to vote independ- ently.
 To a lesser extent only party disin- tegration has extended to state con- tests. Tn Massachusetts many repub- licans who dislike the Dingley tariff will vote for General Bartlett, the dem- ocratic nominee for governor. In Rhode Island Governor Garvin will poll nearly as many republican as democratic votes. Tn Pennsylvania party lines can not be held intact; in Maryland con stitutional amendment overshadows party alignment; in Ohio bossism can not longer depend upon party strength.
 The independence of Theodore Roose- welt seems to promote independent action and voting among the people, and it will not be surprising if the changes of the present year lead to important notifications and divisions in the electorate before 1908. Party ties have been losing their value and grip several years, and the movement seems to be eliminating in a lack of confidence in party divisions.

Thanksgiving Day.

President Roosevelt has set apart Thursday, November 30, as day of thanksgiving Before the war the selec- ton of Thanksgiving day was made by the governor of statc and the gov ernors Tn luose -ays sometimes dis agreed. Some selected the fourth Thursday of November, and some des. ignated the third or fifth Thursday.
 Since the war the governors have waited until the President named a day of Thanksgiving, and then they have issued, and still do issue, proc. lamations, conforming in the selection of day to the presidential proclama- ton.
 Some were surprised because the President did not this year select the fourth Thursday of November. Or dinarily the Fourth Thursday is the last Thursday of the month About once in six years a fifth Thursday ap- pears, and it is the infrequency of a fifth Thursday that causes people to expect the fourth Thursday to be named.
 The entire matter is one of custom there being no law covering the sub ject, either in the states or in the country as a whole. So far as custom has crystalized 1t may be said to be in favor of naming the last Thursday in November, rather than the fourth Thursday. The President Is free to act as he likes, and so for that matter may the governor of each state. The en tire matter is voluntary and in accord ance with an unwritten custom that is even less mandatory than unwritten law.

BIRMINGHAM ON SHOW DAY.

From the Cullman Tribune.
 A miniature replica of crowded Broad way and adjacent thoroughfares in New York was seen in Birmingham last Mon- day. As a drawing card the circus comes next to Roosevelt, for the crowds on the streets were dense and ubiquitous, a con- tinuous rush up and down the broad pave ments, jams at the corners and street cars. automobiles and all other vehicles speeding along the streets. Thousands of men, women and children, white and col ored, were packed along the line Of march of the circus parade. which was certainly a gorgeous spectacle. Birming- ham people said that there were more visitors on ''President's Day. but Ii there were we don't see how locomotion was possible, for Monday was certainly pushing" time.
 The fair has been well attended, the displays larger, more varid and excel lent than before, and altogether 1t was the greatest success in the line ever held in the state.
 Great is Birmingham, and marvellous it's growth and progress, but its chief lack and most imperative need is a new Union station, for its present depot is In every way inadequate for the crowds Of pas sengers. The sooner the contemplated depot Is built the better for Birmingham

Prouress of the Boil WeeviI,

The report of W. D. Hunter, chief of the bureau of entomology, shows that the progress eastward of the boil wee vii is perhaps to be slow. It has gained this year a strip about ten to fifteen miles wide, but this gain gives it ac. cess to good part of the Red river valley. Alexander may now be said to be the easterly limit of its ravages.
 The excessive rainfall of last winter killed vast numbers of the insect, and no doubt this alone accounts for it's slow progress this year. The damage done by it in Louisiana this year was confined to western Sabine parish
 northwest Vernon parish, northwest Calcasien, and western DeSoto parish. The easternmost point reached by the insect is in Woodwork in Rapides parish. About one-fifth of Louisiana is now infested, but the in. sect may not reach the Mississippi next year. It is, however, near the alluvial lands of the Lower Mississippi
 and much depends upon the efforts of

Anniston's Prosperity.

Our town is prosperous and growing steadily" said E. P. Cooper, manager of the Anniston plant of the Central Foun- dry company yesterday. "The industrial plants, including the car plant, are run ming and there are evidences of substantial progress in all parts of the city. The car plant is one of Anniston's most im- portant industries and when it is in op- eration the city is quite lively. Our com- mercal interests reflect the general pros perity.
 "A movement is on foot to pave Noble street, Anniston's principal business thor oughfare. and 1t was partly to study the conditions here that I am in Birmingham today. While the streets of Anniston are kept in excellent condition by grading and the use of furnace slag. we think that the size and importance of the city demand paved streets.
 "Annistonians have great faith in the future of their city. There is no more at- traetive residence town in the south"

JAPAN'S NOVEL POWER.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 In the recent naval review by the Elm peror of Japan of Admiral Togo's fleet and other vessels to commemorate the return of peace there were present S6Os vessels of all classes. This would seem a sufficient equipment for country which now has no rival to question her suprem- acy in Eastern waters. But not anticipat- Ing such early termination of the war five additional battleships are in course of construction. having total displace- ment of SS,Oo0 tons. Two of these, lately contracted for in England, have 1S,000 each being the heaviest and largest fight ing ships yet planned. Japan is also hav- ing two great armored cruisers built, each of 1SO00 tons displacement. These, with the captured Russian vessels when all repaired, will materially enlarge the all ready powerful navy.

SOME CAMPAIGN ATROCITIES.

From the Baltimore Herald.
 It appears there can be horrors greater and more real than the fear of negro domination. Take this from the cam. paign song at the republican meeting last night:
 This is the way they hope to win. But their ranks are getting mighty slim: :: What we'll do to that amendment will be sin."
 The man who wrote that ought to be made to eat at Booker Washipgton's sec ond table. But what punishment could fit the following:
 Men like Rayner are showing their pride. Warfield. Pinkney Whyte and others be-

 Even Bill Garland's on the Lor.ls side. :,

Seaboard's Condition.

"The Seaboard," said Jack W. John son. lis coming along finely. Its gross earnings in the year ended June 30 were increased nearly a million dollars, car rying the total for the year up to sl4,2oi . s4s The net earnings were s4 le,I s4 and the surplus of the year above all charges and all expenses was sl,l7l ,eoe In the previous year the surplus was but $3s2, ,s25.
 "The passenger and freight of the Sea board each show material increases Best of all the Birmingham extension is prov ing a winner of business. Its gross earn lngs in the last fiscal year were s3oe,ooo. and its net earnings are $43,5oo.
 "The management frankly admits the business offered is over-growing the road s facilities, and that new equipment and terminal facilities must be added. It seems to be settled that the management will do this and whatever else is neces- sary in order to bring the system up to a high standard"

Tamsett and Duffy.

"It is settled" said Rooter Brown yes- terday, that Jimmy Tamsett and Johnny Duffy are not to wear a Memphis uniform next season. There was no reserve clause in their contract of last spring. and dif- ferences sprang up between the Memphis officials and the pair before the season had been completed. They were dropped from the salary list before the close of it..
 ''The truth is, Memphis attempted to put on the two former Birmingham play CTS the blame for Memphis poor playing last summer. They were paid big sal aries, and their work did not meet ex- pectations.
 Both are in New York state near AL bany, and both have declared they will not again play in Memphis. Memphis seems to be willing to accept their de- cision.
 'No one knows where they will play, but it is very possible that both will yet come back to play under the shadow of the slagpile. If they do, they will have to be content with something less than major league salaries"

planters to destroy the plants infested by the weevils and to the nature of the winter season. A wet, cold winter is unfavorable to their hibernation.
 When the insect has overrun Avoy- elles and Concordia parishes 1t will be up against the timber belt of Mis- sissippi. For some reason 1t makes little or no headway in northern Louis iana, and this goes to show that 1t may never infest northern Mississippi or northern Alabama. It will probably cross the Mississippi in the neighbor- hood of Natehez, which lies abreast of Greenville and Eufaula, but is several hundred miles away from either.
