The News of Selma

which he did not think was just. A member of the union Is authority for the statement that there Is a sec ton in the laws of ne local lodge. as well us in every other lodge in the i, United States, which. if the charges that had been preferred against Stahl by Mir. Rosendorf had been proved.
 would have caused Stahl to have been blacklisted and published through the unions journal and that he would have been unable to have secured a position in a saloon anywhere in the United States.
 Mir. Rosendorf is positive that he can prove the charges that he has
 made before the local union. The
 members of the union are equally pos itive that he can not and there the
 matter rests. Mir. Rosendorf says that
 once before the union has made an eff fort to take his card from him and that in this instance if they make the
 same attempt he will take the matter to a higher council in the Trades Un- ion.
 It was stated today that Mir. Stahl was considering the matter of bring ing suit against Mir. Rosendorf for defamation of character. It was also | tent attorney to handle the case for him. Mir. Rosendorf when asked about the sult sad that he knew nothing of it but that he. was perfectly will l ing for a suit to be brought against him.

"Chinch" returned the ring to the woman, but she insisted upon his wearing 1t and put 1t back on his finger.
 Last week "Chinch" went to Pensa- cola and in court this morning he stat ed that he got drunk and to keep the | ring safe he placed 1t in a grip which he left In a barroom in that city.

St. Paur. Church vs. the United states.

Robert Chisholm. special attorney for the United States. was in Selma yes terday representing the United States in the taking of testimony in the case of St. PauIs Episcopal Church of this city against the Government. The testimony for the church was taken and now the case Is ready for submis- sion to the Court of Claims of the United States.
 Early in the seventies a suit was in stituted against the Government by St. Paups Episcopal Church for the sum of $10.000 for the burning of the church by the Wilson raiders when they came through this country in the closing days of the war between the States. The property of the church at that time was very valuable and the damage caused the church consid- erable inconvenience and for this cause a suit was brought against the Gov ernment.
 Two years ago bill passed Congress authorizing the claim to be heard by the Court of Claims and for that reason MT. Chisholm was in Selma yesterday taking testimony.

Competition for Standard oil.


 tonight that for the past two days Company of New Orleans has been in Selma for the purpose of opening a branch office of that concern here. The branch office when opened will put all of the products of that concern on the Selma market and will be lively com petitor of the Standard oil Company.
 The Gulf Refining Company is said to be quite large concern and is fast growing all over the South. They own. a number of Texas oil wells and are prepared to meet competitors. The agent of the concern who has been in. Selma is said to be a man named Sims, who formerly travelled for the Standard Oil Company through the South. It is stated that the branch office of the new concern will be opened in about week and that oil and other products are already on the road. A tank wagon will be put on the streets and oil will be delivered all over the city. Where the branch office will be locate could not be learned tonight, but it will probably be near the railroads, close to the present office of the Stan dard Oil Company. -,-
 A retail grQceryman Is authority for the statement that since the represen- tative of the Gulf Refining Company has been tn Selma the price of kero- sene has been lowered 1 cent. per gal lon. If this is true, and the Gulf Re- lining Company opens up here, Sel- mians will likely see lively war be- tween the two concerns and will reap the benefit by getting cheap oil.

he was under the impression that the boy had taken the ring with the cx- press purpose of converting 1t to his own good and that he considered the charge of larceny substantiated. For this reason he deemed it advisable 10 assess a fine and so fined "Chinch" $50 and bound hin. over to await the action of the grand jurp in the sum of s150. Mfr Shafer, who represented Weaver, gave notice to the court that he would institute habeas corpus proceedings.

ANIMALS SURE TO go BAD"
After This Stage Beasts Are Of No
Use to Circus Men-Never Re-
turn to Old Ways,

No man living knows all about
animals, r-more than a very little
about them, declares McCIure's
Magazine. Some who are dead
thought they knew. That is the
reason they are dead. Only those
who realize their ignorance and
supplement it with untiring watch
fulness last long in this queer
business that Pm in.
Sooner or later. mos. animals of
the cat kind become utterly in
tractable and remain so. "Going
bad" is the professional term for
this. Rarely do they return to
their old, amenable ways. Hence
'orth they are of no use as perform
ers, and are relegated to the exhi-
bition cages, for any man entering
the cage of lion or tiger that has
gone bad is instantly attacked.
This is one of the terrors of the
trade. Symptoms of the change
of heart are apparent enough
sometimes, particularly in ami
mails who are growing old. Occa-
sionally, however, some young
beast, formerly as obedient as you
could wish, will turn murderous
without cause or warning. If her
trainer gets out alive he is lucky.
If he ever enters her cage again
he's a fool.
Quite Proficient.
Jack-Your friend, Mrs. Gush.
erly, is always using slang
phrases, isn't she?
Elyth-Yes, indeed. She is
quite familiar with the English
slanguage.- Cincinnati Enquirer
