SCHOOL FOR FARMERS
SUMMER INSTITUTION IS NOW ON
 AT AUBURN.
Interesting Discussion and Experi- ments Are Being Conducted for Benefit of the Alabama Agriculturists.

Auburn. July 25.-(Special. )--The third annual session of the Summer School for Farmers met this morning in the college chapel under suspicious circumstances. At the first session nineteen counties were represented. The attendance includes some of the most progressive, successful, and we'll do farmers in the State. The move
 ment has attracted wide attention in the South and many papers speak of 1t in highly complimentary terms. The attendance bids fair to be the largest in the history of the school.
 The morning exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. c. A. Cornell. of Auburn. An inspiring and enthus- iastic address of welcome was deliv- cred by President c. c. Thach, who extended warm greeting. briefly out lined the nature of the work of the session. and discussed somewhat elab- orate1y the possibilities of diversified farming in the State. He also sketched the work undertaken for the great industry of agriculture by the institu- ton. He pointed out that six full pro- fessors and seven assistants belonged to the department of agriculture and the experimnet station, including the departments of veterinary science, ami nal husbandry, cotton and corn cul- ture, chemistry botany, diseases of plants, growth of fruit and vegetables. feeding of cattle, rotation of crops, etc. By their constant efforts great good is being accomplished for the upbuild- ing of the farming industry of the State. .:s.
 Some of the leading experts of the
 United States, of the department of
 agriculture, and from various States
 will assist the local staff in the conduct | of the school. The nature of the work
 undertaken Is strictly accurate and
 practical. It Is not merely general
 exhortation and discussion in a rhet-
 orical way of the possibilities and at
 fractions of farming, but a detailed
 course along specified lines of inyes- | tigation.

RAIN CURE IS THE LATEST.
Texas Discovers a Sovereign Rcmet
 for All Chronic Diseases,


 Austin. Tex.-The rain cure is now being tried by a number of persons in this city whenever opportunity is af- forded for taking the treatment. Some of those who have taken 1t say that 1t is a panacea for all chronic diseases, as well as many of the lesser ills of the body.
 There is nothing complicated about the rain cure. All that is required of the patient is that he shal stand in the open. with his body bare of all cloth ing, and let the falling rain pour on him.
 The sensation is said to be very agreeable. Those who have tried the new treatment assert that the rain falling upon the bare body invigorates the whole system and is especially strengthening to the nerves.
 There Is no set rule for taking the treatment Some of those who began 1t several months ago at the early break of winter have stood In the rain for several hours at a time without suf- fering effects of a disagreeable charac- ter afterward.
 Devotees of the rain cure welcome the appearance of a black cloud which for bodes q terrific downpour of rain and get out in their back yards, which are inclosed by high board fences. and let the water come down upon them in torrents.
 It Is declared that the rain cure is a sure remedy for rheumatism and that decided improvement has been noted in cases of persons afflicted with tuber- culosis For nervous disorders the treatment is said to be infallible. One treatment 1t Is said, will cure severe cold.
 The treatment is believed to have had its origin in Austin. So far as can be learned. John Durst. young business man of this city, was the first person to give 1t a trial.
 few months ago he was suffering from a severe cold. A rainstorm came up and while 1t was in progress he de- cided to strip and get out into 1t to see if 1t would help his cold. There Is a high board fence around his back lot. After disrobing in the barn he went in- to the lot and let the rain fall upon his bare body.
 Tho experiment was a success. The one treatment cured his cold. Since then he never misses taking the rain cure when at home during a ratn He has perfect health. He related his experience to some of his friends, and the fad, if such 1t can be called, his spread rapidly. It Is recommended that weak persons WHO tdke the treatment shouio Aoe 'e main in the rain too long at time and that a vigorous rubbing should follow the wctting
 It Is the theory of those who have taken the treatment that Its efficacy | lies in the fact that the raindrops con tain peculiar medicinal properties and that coming through the air as they do they are charged with electricity, which has a direct effect upon the body. Phy- I sicians who have been questioned on the subject say that the treatment may have merits in'lss application to cer- tain ills

Man With Fortune Expected to Work
 After He Had Spent It.

 Some time ago." says a Southern statesman, there lived in Washington "a young constituent of mine who was anxious to secure a $1.200 clerkship in the Treasury Department. That was before the days of the civil Service law and easily got the place for him. But to my surprise. on the day that he was to be sworn in he came to me in greatly perturbed state
 Judge. I've had $S0.000 left me by an uncle. My God! Just think of what Two got to go through with!"
 "I don't understand you said I. T should rather think you were open to congratulations
 Don't congratulate me, judge con- tinued he. You don't know what you're congratulating me for
 Why, yes, do,' I replied. You'll have an easy time of 1t now, doing nothing. You'll have a competence for life
 "I see. judge said he. that might as well tell you all. Some years ago I had S20,000 left me by another rcla- tive. Judges 1t took me the greater part of. a year to spend it. Then. too, I had to go to the hospital for six months to recover from the effects of my little fling. I came 10 you today to ask you to keep that place in the treasury for me until can spend this money"

William Holcembe Leaves Many Anx- ious Creditors in DcmOpolis. | Demopolis. July 25.-(Special.)- Quite stir in business circles was oc- casioned this week by the French leave few days ago of William Hoicomb. He has been in the contracting busi-
 ness nere and did great deal Of work but 1t is said that he took con- tracts too cheap and lost money on
 some jobs. Just what is causing the | stir. however. was not so much the folding of his tent and stealing si- lently away" as the numerous biiis ne left unpaid, which are estimated to aggregate more than $2,5o0 and are distributed between quite formidable list Of the business people of Demopo- lis.
 A number. of attachments have been Issued out of Judge E. $. Cornish's s office upon the effects left by MT. Hol- compe, which are some tools, wheel barrows. wagons, etc.
 MT. Holcombe had been in Demopo-
 lis only u few months, but had rapidly gained the confidence of the people. He was a fine workman and did a great deal of work. He was very indus trious and had the respect and con- fidence of all, and 1t is hard for some to believe rascality is meant even now.
 An attempt was made last night to

 it. By a quick response to a telephone call Chief of Police H. A. Monnier caught a half-crazy negro, known as Sissy" almost in the act.

NEW CUES FOR BILLIARDS.
Man Has Invented Sticks Which VIII
 Add to Enjoyment of Game.
Philadelphia RecC

Philadelphia Hecoru'
 A disadvantage of the conVehtionai pool or billiard table Is its large dimen- sions, which prohibit its use in a house of ordinary size, unless located in the cellar, which generally does not oner attractive surroundings. Realizing this limitation, an Indianapolis man mas conceived the Idea of constructing pneumatic cues, which are very much smaller than the regulation cue sticKs' By the use of this invention the game of pool or billiards may De played upon a smaller table than is generally used and correspondingly smaller room may be employed.
 The invention also permits the ar rangement of smaller tables in closer proximity without the players at once intsrfsring with the players at adJa-

cent tables. An important feature of the pneumatic cue stick Is that it per mits the players to play more perfect game without reducing its scientific basis and at the same time adds inter- est and novelty.
 In construction the cue is simple. It includes a short, hollow stick. provided at one end with a movable tip and at the other with piston and rubber bulb, which furnishes the propelling power Pressure upon the bulb will force the cue stick out with any desired degree of force and the quickness with which the p~Sssure Is applied to the air bulb determines the shooting strength as the harder the ball is hit. ~a
