 pany Is Ready.
EIGHTH AVE. IMPROVEMENT

The Nashville Roofing and Paving com rany expects to start work soon on the contracts recently secured for paving Twentieth street from Avenue to Av- enue H; Second avenue from Twenty second to Twenty streets and Nineteenth streets from Fifth to Sixth avenues with bituminous macadam.
 John E. Donelson, local representative of the concern, said last night:
 The street railway company will have to, under the specifications of the City Council, rebuild their tracks along all of the blocks along our new contracts. suppose that this work will start within short while, and then we will be able to begin work. It will be pushed forward rapidly to completion"
 Alderman Simon Klotz. of the Second ward, expresses himself as being very much in favor of extending the pavement along Fifth avenue westwardly. The Nashville Roofing and Paving company is now at work paving Fifth avenue from Nineteenth street te Twenty-seventh street with bituminous macadam
 T am In favor of extending the pave ment on Fifth avenue westwardly and will work to that end said Mir. Klotz. ''As long as I am one of the represen- tatives of the people of the Second ward, shall devote much of my time in an effort to have the streets paved in or section of the city. Fifth avenue is sure to be paved its entire length
 within a comparatively short time I hope to see the contract let for paving Eighteenth street from Fourth avenue to Ninth avenue with bituminous macadam After this is done we will take up the matter of pa ving Eighth avenue. Then other avenues and streets in my ward will be given due consideration"
 It is understood that the mayor and AL derman John W. O'Neill. both of whom reside in the Second ward, are equally as anxious as is Mir Klotz to have the streets and avenues in that section of Bir- mingham improved immediately.

selves in such matters. It is through education and cooperation.
 Cotton Crop.
 The cotton crop at present is in about the same condition as the corn crop. Late soil in bad shape and over a great range of country very foul.
 However, there may be a greater im- provement from the cotton crop than we could expect from the corn.
 There has been some reduction in acre. age forced by the bad season. which did more to reduce the acreage than did any agitation. In fact if the season had been favorable in the early spring I rather think that there would have been an in- crease in acreage with favorable weather and late fall we may have another big crop of cotton.
 Hay Crop. The hay crop in all the great corn states named above is simply grand never better There are some sections where meadows are damaged by foul weeds. but upon the whole, taking the country over, the crop will be above the average. The weather is now just right for saving the hay in most sections
 Other Crops.
 There is the greatest abundance of fine vegetables in all sections that I have visited tnTs season. This of course, makes cheap prices for the truck farmers
 Fruits, while there has been a good supply of berries, especially strawberries. have not been so cheap or so abundant as vegetables. The apple crop Is rather spotted and the same may be said of the peach crop. Both early peaches and ap-. ples are moving quite freely now There is promise of a great crop of watermelons this year. I did not mention oats. which are generally poor Rye in many sections is fine.
 If we can only have favorable weather for harvesting and thrashing. we will have fine grain and hay.

BENNETT MAKES ARGUMENT.
Claims Testimony Against Senator
 Mitchell Is Untrustworthy.

Portland, Ore, June 29-Judge A. S. Bennett opened the argument for defense today in the rial of United States Sena- tor J. H. Mitchell. He took up the evil dence and alleged 1t was of persecution. Bennett alleged that the theory the two partners-NIitchen and Tanner-worked on was that it was all right for Tanner to prosecute land matter in any of the land offices, receiving fees therefor, which were divided between the two partners as was right.
 Bennett alleged that the testimony of Tanner was untrust worthy and was given under pressure applied by united States District Attorney Heney. Bennett con tended that the testimony of Mitchelfs secretary, Harry Robertson, was false and that undue importance was attached to the letters between the two partners that had been introduced by the prosecution.

 The funeral of Omiltchuk, which has just been held became an imposing pop ular demonstration, which fortunately was without disorder. A procession of many thousand persons followed the body along PrebrajenslIy street to the military cemetery. The coffin, which was covered with a St. Andrew flag. and on which there were numerous wreaths, was carried by eight sailors. The procession was headed by priests. Neither police nor troops were stationed along the route to the cemetery owing to a wise decision by the authorities and by which the pos siblity of a collision was averted. In the most unruly section of the city the Dop- ulace treat the proclamation warning the people to keep indoors after 9 o'clock with the greatest derision and contempt, and freely announce their intention to burn all public buildings in the course of the night
 Troops Patrol Streets.
 Cossacks guard all approaches to tha town, and troops patrol the streets and guard public buildings, especially the banks within and without.
