90 Days Trial in Your 0w, Home

sentative Bowie to appropriate s25,000 for a fish hatchery for the State of Alabama Is received with joy by tHe many knights of the rod of Bessemer. Those interested in the sport have re- ceived two consignments of fish during the past three years fro mthe Govern ment through the instrumentality Of Congressman Underwood and they are already reaping the fruits of his cour- tesy. The fish were placed In the old waterworks pond. now converted into fishing, bathing and pleasure re- sort. and have added greatly to the stock in the waters. If the bill is passed 1t will mean much for Ala bamas sportsmen, as a hatchery In the State would prob ably mean that available and suitable bodies of water wouli be well stocked with fish. There are a number of enthusiasts in Besse- mer who make frequent trips in differ ent fishing places in the State every year and it is to these men that the proposed bill has special interest.

Followed the Family.

W. s. Taylor was arrested at the Union Passenger Station in this city this morning by Policeman Burson on complaint of Deputy Sheriff Lanes of Grayson County, Texas, charging that the man was wanted for perjury. The Texas officers located his man in a unioue way. He followed the family of Taylor from Sherman, Texas, it being supposed they would make for the place where the man was. A telegram was sent ahead to the Birmingham Police Department asking that they have a man at the depot when the Frisco train arrived and Officer Burson was detailed on the case. When the family got of the train Taylor went up and kissed the wife and children. Then the Texas officer called the Birmingham police man and asked for the arrest of Taylor which, was effected with ease. The Texas officer took the train this morn- ing for Montgomery to secure requisi- ton papers. A large number of people witnessed the arrest at the depot this morning.

.HOCH GOES TO MARION.
Kansas City Women Give Him More
Tine on Prohibitory Law.

Governor Hoch went to Marion to-
day and will not be back until Tuesday
evening.
It might be suspected from this state
ment that the governor had left town to
dodge the delegation of Kansas City W.
G. 7. .. women who, according to the
Kansas City papers, We're scheduled to
call on the governor today and tell him
that he ought to enforce the prohibitory
law in Wyandotte county.
But such is not the case. The Wyan-
dotte war is all over. The women are
satisfied. They have called off their
crusade against Governor Hoch, and
will let him have more time to show his
ability to close up the joints In Kansas
City, Kan.
The Kansas City, Kan, women evil
IDENTIFY give to Governor Hoch the full
credit for closing the Joints in Topeka.
They think that the county and city
officials were stirred to action by Gov
ernor Hoch. And they state that they
are praying that the governor will ad-
minister some of the same kind Of
treatment to Wyandotte county.
The letter received by the governor
was written by Mrs. Fannie Holsinger,
superintendent of the department of
purity of the Wyandotte county w. G.
T. U. Mrs Holsinger was the one who
was scheduled to be the Carrie Nation
of the movement against Governor
Hoch. She says in her letter:
'As president of the Women's Chris
tan Temperance Union of WyandOtte
county. I desire to express our thanks
to you and our appreciation of the work
you are doing along the line of law en-
forcement.
You have heard from Mrs. Barnes,
the chairman of the committee appoint
ed at our county institute to wait upon
you and confer with you in regard to
conditions in our county, but as we
read in the papers your decision to en-
force the prohibitory law in Topeka, we
thought trip to that place at this
time unnecessary, believing that in
your action of beginning at Jerusalem
you will contend for law enforcement tc
the uttermost parts Of the state.
THE prohibitory law and other laws
are fiagrantly violated in our county
and if you can give us any advice as
to how to proceed to work for good gov
eminent we shall be glad to hear from
you.
Mrs Wallace, our district president
said during the campaign: I am pray
ing for Mr.. Hoch for if he is elected
he will have a hard place to fill foI
there will be so much pressure brought
to bear upon him and he viii need oul
prayers and our help And nave
prayed for you that your faith fail not
for I know the limitations of human
strength.

sanctity Of al law. When Theodore
Roosevelt was a member of the boaId
of police commissioners of New YORK.
he said of those who commended IN tIiS
interests OF personal liberty that certain
laws be ignored, these gentry are slInp-
" teaching lawlessness; If man mas
the right to break the law so as to get
beer, he has a right to break the law
so as to get bread. It is more import
ant he be fed than he get drunk.
After all we know there isn't any
where any persistent and serious Vlo-
Iation of law without what Roosevelt
called corrupt cOnnivance Of the police
If liquor is freely sold, there is always
and everywhere connivance of the po-
lice and corrupt connivance, and for the
honor of the officers we are slow to be-
lieve that there is any open violation OF
the law.
1T is first the business of the city
administration. and in case of failure
the business of the county administra-
ton. and in case of the failure of both
even the business of the governor him
self to see that all laws are faithfully
executed.
zach of these three departments of
administration should make an honest
and faithful attempt to enforce all
laws without discrimination or forfeit
all claim as honorable men. We are
not ready to believe that our newly
elected city officials or our esteemed
governor will forfeit this claim"
Rev. Mr.. Hayes then read the reso-
luton sent out by the State Temper
ance union, and the congregation

G11L1Es GOES TO BUFFALO.
Gives Up Newspaper Work to Look
After Incubator Publication.

Mr.. George H. Gillies, until recently
editor of the Poultry Gazette, has ac-
cepted a position with the Cyphers In
cubator company of Buffalo, N. Y. He
will have charge of the publication
department. This has to do with the
placing of advertising, the publication
of their various catalogues and circu-
lars, and the superintendent of the
publication of a series of poultry books.
The Cyphers company is the largest
concern of its kind in the world. over
400 being employed in their factory
AMI offices. Branch houses are main
tanned in the principal cities of Amer
lea, and a large branch factory has re-
Gently been established at London,
England. Catalogues are published in
several languages. The edition of the
main catalogue requires over three car
loads of paper. The annual amount
appropriated for advertising is some
thing over one hundred thousand dol
lars.
Mr.. Giles Will leave Topeka in about
a week and spend some time visiting
relatives in Canada before taking up
his duties at Buffalo the first of June.

WHEAT-As time passes each day con-
firms the view that there Is practically no
able supply in all directions and in all
positions is lower than ever before known
at this season of the year. The talk
about poor flour demand and poor milling
demand does not hold good. The facts
are that flour stocks in the ten largest
cities of the country are 5000 barrels less
now than they were on the first of April,
1905, and $4,000 barrels less than they
were one year ago at the same points.
The bearish news scattered so broadcast
recently seems to be cOlored and tainted
to misrepresent, and it might all be
thrown aside a s absolutely worthless. The
visible supply is now only q, 900 900 bushels
and this IS the smallest visible supply at
this season of the year for over twenty
years.
Some of the crop experts promise a crop
now of both winter and spring wheat of
S0000O,OJ0 bushels. Last year we harvested
So, 900, 900 bushels of both winter and spring
promising something that never happened
before within the memory of man. Last
year at about this time crop experts pre-
dicted big crops of wheat. Some esti-
ter and spring. Wheat advanced from the
middle of June to February Is 4115c Der
bushel. With July wheat now around SIC
and September under Soc 1 am inclined
to believe the buying side to be the safest
for at least turn of 10 or Is cents
CORN-COrn at present seems to be
oversOld and the market may be pushed
some higher compelling short sellers to
cover. I can't see as good opportunities
for making money on the buying side of
corn as do in wheat. believe July and
September corn will sell near 45c before
they ought to be bought
OVISIONS-PrOvisions show an adj
vancing tendency. but unless you are in
them they hardly offer inducements
On a good break July lard and pork can
be bought with small risk.

RATE HEARING BEGINS.
Interstate Commerce Takes Up Com
plant of NfiIlers.

Chicago, May 8.-Complaints made
by millers of Missouri river cities
against railroad rates on corn pro
ducts from Missouri river points and
southern Texas were the subject of
an investigation begun today by the in
terstate commerce commission. The
assertion is made that rates discriln-
mate in favor of Texas and Louisiana
millers.
S. A. Davis of Kansas City, testifying
regarding the rate from Kansas City
to Texas on corn meal, said the freight
charges on meal were 81 Il cents to
the southern part of Texas. The rate
on corn to the same points, he said
was 261k cents. The difference in
rate, Mr.. Davis declared, thus gave an
undue advantage to Texas manufactur-
erS.
