A,.em ptes AssauI. a. Holly.


Sheriff Thomas and Deputy Dist. At
torney Merrill, were called to Holly y es-
terday by the report that Harry Mon
toya, young and we'll known Indian Of
Holly, had broken into the telephone Of
flee at Holly and made an attempted as
ssult upon Miss Maggie Bennett, who
has charge of the Telephone Exchange
for the night.
Miss Bennett, a highly respected
young lady, daughter Of q we'll known
citizen, Mr.. E. E. Bennett, WAS suddenly
awakened at a late hour in the night by
some one holding her hands and clutch
ing her throat. Her screams and strug-
giles alarmed the Indian who fled pre-
cipitstely just before assistance arrived.
Many persons soon hocked to the scene,
but no one could be found to answer the
description OF the a-sailant until after
daylight. 1E
After arrest Harry made confession
duplicating Bert Leavens, well known
young white man who had been around
drinking with Harry during the even
ing. When the officers arrived in Holly
the talk they, heard caused them to lay
plans to get Harry away from Holly and
these plans were carried out by Sheriff
Thomas with such celebrity and daring
that he had the prisoner half way to
Lamar before many persons knew any
thing OF it and had him in the county
Jail long before dark.
Harry, the Indian, has been very we'll

and few believe that he would ever
nave attempted the foul deed he under
took without the lnstigation OF some one
else who took advantage OF his Indian
love for firewater.
On the other hand the friends Of the
young man accused claim with the ut
most confidence his ability to prove an
before Justice Pike in Lamar.
Great credit should be given to the
cool heads Of the local officers and others
at Holly who stood for law and order.

MODERN PIED PIPER.
Secret of a Magic Fluid That Charms
Rats Away.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The modern Pied Piper sits in London
office in clothes that are as Immaculate as /
those of a fashion plate. He of Hamelin /.
used wonderful pipe, and charmed the rats
| away to the accompaniment of the merry
| tune he played. His modern prototype car
ries his magic in a bottle. 1t is n secret
| fluid that looks like camphorated oil and
smells like anise seed. The modern Pied
| Piper spreads 1t on the ground. and where
! he spreads It there the rats must go. One
will follow the trail from its underground
| hiding place and, having found the tasty
| food, favored with the fluid will return to
| fetch his friends.
| For two or three days the food is spread
| and then, the whole of local Ratland having
| tasted and become greedy and bold a poison
| is mixed with the sweet-havored bait. Again
the rats eat-this time their last meal, for
| they run few yards and drop dead, their
| bodies soon becoming mummified by the ac-
| ton of another secret chemical The Pied
| Piper is engineer by profession. but just
| now, in the intervals of scientific rat-catch-
| ing, he is managing director of a WE'LL
| known city company. He has twenty-three
| methods OF eXtermnating rats, that ex-
| planned above being only one of them.
| Like pracuced general, he studies the
| country before he wages war. His surveyor
/ is sent. first of all, to investigate, to learn,
if possible, the number of rats in a cellar or
| ship, to discover where they make their
| homes, and to decide upon the hour when
! most rats can be attracted. Then the magic
! fluid is made to work, for the fluid is the
| basis of all the methods. Sometimes the
! rats are attracted by the smell into a room
| where, half stupefied, they are put into a
sack by the inventor who, his immaculate
clothes DOTTED for a WHILE is wearing thick
! gloves and CATERS and a thick muffier, the
latter to protect his throat. Sometimes they
are drawn from farmers barn stack
into a field, where they are dubbed to death
with hockey sticks.
The Pied Piper does not expect the story
of his cleVerness to be believed without
proof. Wishing. then. to have his powers
tested, he desires that some reader of the
Daily Chronicle whose premises infest-
ed with Vermin shall receive relief free of
charge He only stipulates that the job
shall be a difficult one and that the rats
shall be numerous. Among the recent cases
in which the rat-catcher has been employed
are those of hat shop in the city, where
rats sometimes did damage to the extent of
$40 in one night and restaurant not 500
yards from st. PaUl's, where, in an under
ground dining room, daring rodents had
been said to jump upon the tables while GUS
toners were eating. In each of these prem
Uses there were thousands of rats a few
weeks ago Scarcely one has been seen
since the Pied Piper started work.

Transportation rates here are very low;
they are fixed by a commission. Our law
is very much like that which recently
passed the House of Representatives at
Washington and provides a commission 10
fix the rates at which the railroads may
haul freight and passengers. Rates are
supposed to be adjustable, to be advanced
or lowered according to the condition OF
business and traffic but / have never heard
of a rate being raised for any reason. If
a rate Is once put down you can never get
1t up again. There has been a downward
tendency year after year and month after
month.
Ever since the law was passed the rates
have gone lower, item after item, until they
are now so low that if the railroads did not
have a profitable interstate business they
would not be able to pay expenses. They
cannot get rates high enough to make 1t
pay to haul state business. Every railroad
in Alabama would be in the hands of a re-
cefver within five months if 1t was COM
PEELED to depend upon local traffic. And
What Colonel Falkner says is strictly
true. The railroads have made the city of
Montgomery and the state of Alabama. At
the close of the war the people had only
the rivers with a few old flatboats, and
three or four little local railway lines. But
the South and North railroad, connecting
Montgomery with Birmingham, Nashville,
built, and is now part of that great thor
oughfare called the Louisville and Nash
vile. Then came the Central of Georgia,
the Plant System the Mobile and Ohio the
Southern, the Seaboard Air Line. The leg
islation was liberal and Montgomery offered
all the advantages she could command.
And, as consequence, she has been well

he should succeed Presiding Justice Van

There is no doubt in the minds of French
as well as New York dressmakers that the
tailor-made gown Is to enjoy one of the
II ost popular revivaIs that has ever been
accorded any one style. The majority %
women like trim, mannish lines and cut,
and will therefore be delighted to learn
that even for visiting costumes this fash
ion is the accepted thing. While there IS
a slight indication of wavering, of lndef-
initeness as to general trimmings and de-
tails to be used upon other creations, there
is no uncertainty about the ta1lor-made.
To be strictly modlsh one should nave
severely plain costume made of the very
best wooden material to be procured, and
.his should show some smart mixture, pref
erably an indistinct- check or small plaid.
Some of the fabrics made up in these gar
ments are woven as finely and delcately
as silk and linen.
1t goes without saying that the coat mod
el will be long no one who can wear this
smart length will chohse short coat. This

An attractive Variation from the tight

PRESENTED today in (Which all the above
points are carefully observed The skirt IS
eff the fashionable round length, and is
given a .rippled flare by means of two fiat
stitched bands rtinnffig round the bottom.
A bit of stiffening is-put under these be-
fore they are stitchsd SO that altogether
they are responsible for a chic and dash
which relieves the costume from what
would otherwise seem of mediocre value.
There are gores1in the upper part of the
skirt. and at the belt the slight fulness is
brought in by means of small fiat pleats.
In the more than three-quarter coat the
invisible plaid of the material, with it's
blurring of white and different shades of
gray, appears to excellent advantage. There
is enough of a figure or design in the
weave to make the arrangement of pleats
down each side of the front appear unus-
ualIy interesting. These extend from shout
der to the bottom of the coat, and are
graduated narrower toward the waist and
then broaden again from there. Between
the groups of three a long narrow vest of
pale gray broadcloth is inserted. Upon this
vest there is shadowy pattern of embro.-
derry wrought in dull grays, with touches
of white here and there.
Instead of mannish revers the vest turns
back at the throat, where it is opened IN
a point and very hat-notched collar con-
tinucs on around the back This, too, is
made of the plain broadcloth smartly em-
broidered. While the coat is tight fitting.

Alabama River Commerce.

The Alabama river is navigable all the
year round between Montgomery and Mo-
bile, and five or six steamers run regularly,
carrying down cargoes of cotton and bring
ing back merchandise that has been
shipped by sea from New York, Philadel-
phia and other Atlantic cities. Through
bills of lading are given from Montgomery
to foreign ports. and much of the cotton
that goes down, the river is consigned to
European buyers. While the amount of
business done, by boat is Insignificant COM
pared with the traffic handled by the rail-
faction to the citizens of Montgomery to
have a choice of routes, and some old
fashioned shippers still prefer to ship by
boat rather than by rail. 1t is a fact, how
ever that the fleet of boats Is not so large
and that they carry less tonnage than they
did before the war.
