"Isnkee Doodle" an Irish Jig.

Your statement that 1t was composed
by DR.. Schuckburgh is a slip. You
probably meant that he wrote the

Students in veterinary science, UNI
der the direction OF DR.. Frederick,
have special work in clinics every
Monday. The farmers of Cache Val
ley were invited TO bring their animals
and have them treated free Of charge.
The work has met with abundant sue
cess, there being from fifteen TO
twenty diseased animals brought in at
each session. In no case, apparently,
has the department failed to give
satisfaction, and the farmers are be-
ginning to realize the value OF a good
veterinarian.

have been taken to eradicate 1t, which

 CORDED SINCE 1873.

 Never before has the rainfall for the month been less than one inch. Until April of this year. the record was t.os inches, in April. 1SS The average precipitation for the month, during thlrty-four years. has been { ST inches. while one year. 1876. the amount for the month was 10.7e inches.
 The almost total lack of rain during the month has more than counterbal- aneed the excessive rains of March. un- til the record for the year thus far. shows a lack of .ef of an inch. On only two days, did rain fall in excess of .01 of an inch.
 During the month there was a total wind movement of 4.2T4 mfieB. an aver age nourly velocity of 5.S miles per hour. The maximum velocity per hour during this time was reached on April 9th. when a northwest wind passed over the city at the rate of twenty miles an hour.

 New South
 Wing.

With fitting formalities, ground was formally broken yesterday for the cree tion of the S50,000 addition to the his toric Capitol of Alabama.
 Alabama's young and distinguished Governor was given the honor of throw ing the first spade full of dirt that marked the beginning of the new build ing, which will add in comfort ana beauty to the handsome historic pile that now stands at the head of Dexter Avenue.
 Work practically began Monday. when Contractor c. c. Tetherow took preliminary steps toward the work, but the formal beginning of construction did not take place until yesterday.
 The ceremonies took place at II o'clock yesterday morning. At that time the contractor was present noio- ing a new spade sayly decorated In ribbons and flowers by the State gard ener, fAdolphus Deitrich. At the ap- pointed hour, the Governor, accom-. panied by the members of the Capitol Commission, with the exception of Au- ai4or J. M Carmichial, walked down the south steps to the point where work was to begin. With the Governor was Secretary of State E. R. McDavid. state Treasurer J. Craig Smith. Attorney General Massey Wilson and Dr. Thomas M. owen, DlTeCtOT OI tuc Ctebc D~P~i ment of Archives and History. Prac- ticaIly all of the officers and clerks In the Capitol building were present, and there were a number of spectators.
 The Governor was handed the spade by the contractor at point about 60 feet south of the present Capitol building. With a precision showing his rearing on the farm. Governor Jelks showed the new implement into the earth and threw to one side shovel full of sand.
 The assemblage stood with barred heads as prayer was offered by Rev. George E. Brewer, chaplain of State convicts. Mir Brewer thanked the AL mighty for blessings that have been heaped upon the State materially, phy- sically and morally. and invoked fur ther blessing on the people and the State.
 The contractor immediately began work on the new building. It will form south wing to the present structure, and the Governor will recommend to the Legislature to make an appropria- ton for a north wing to architecturally balance the structure. The new build ing will cost about $51,o00 and under the terms of the contract will be com pIeted by December 1.

 Federal law governing the 5tate or Alabama requires that the term or court he opened on May 1. Heretofore It has been inc custom to go through both she civil and criminal docket of the Tinted states Court without intermis- sion in the session. This year, howev- CT, Judge Jones yesterday announced. there will be no call of the CIVIL dock- et. owing to the Judges engagement in Birmingham. and of the criminal docket. only a number of special eases will be called. The calling of court yesterday, therefore. was purely for mai proceeding.
 The only case called was that of John Nicholas. a Greek, from Selma, who was charged with retailing liquor without a license. A violation of the law was ad- mitted, but ignorance of the law pre- sented as a palliation. An order, stat ing that In the opinion or the court, the ends of justice would not be subserved by further prosecution of the case, was issued, mol pressing the charge. upon payment of costs to the amount or s41.35.

Greedy Recommends That 46 Discreet
 Men Re Sent.
 Washington, April 30-Reporting to the War Department overnight regard ing the situation in California, Gener- al Greedy upholds his previous attitude regarding the necessity for federal troops exercising non military duties and supervision connected with the dis tribution of relief supplies, whether purchased by the army or presented ny the American people. He strongly comments the national guard of California, but says that many of the men are harassed by domestic aff1iiations, business losses and depri- vation of means of livelihood. He says also that the police and fire de- partments are engrossed in their own special duties.
 Tribute is paid to the civilian volun- teers who have helped and are helping in the work of relieving the destitute hundreds of thousands and who ne says must now devote themselves 70 uphuilding the city. General Greeiy adds that the existing methods devoid of supervision, which has been impos- sible in the past, involve pumerous ex- penses which cause marked apprenen- sion as to the financial phases on the part of Dr. Devine. Mayor Schmitz' and the citizens committed. .,
 He recommends that forty-five dis erect army officers of administrative ability be sent to San Francisco to as sits in the conduct of economical relief work. In order to reduce expenses he urges that the troops to be sent to San Francisco be reduced to one regiment of cavalry and one of infantry,
 Al the War Department today there was given out for publication a tele- gram from General Bell, chief of staff fo General Greely, explaining the dis tr,brtion of the S2,500.O00 appropriated h., congress for the relief of the earth oyake and fire sufferers which in ef- sect is similar to the statement of As sitant Secretary of War Oliver given out last night.

 arv 0Nlce.


 It is rumored in rail road circles that some important changes in the once force of the General Freight Agent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company will be announced, possibly in circular today.
 Nothing O ia definite nature has been given out, but the supposition among those who are interested, is that the officials of the road are now consider ing changes to be made in the local office that will mean the promotion of several men in that department.
 It is the supposition that the line of promotion will begin with the transfer of Chief Clerk R, M. Williams from the office of F. Az DeFuniak, General Freight Agent sn Montgomery to that of General Freight Agent of the Louis vile and Nashville at Savannah, Geor- gia.
 In the event of the promotion of MT. Williams to Savannah, Chief Rate Clerk, Clarence Jones Is supposed to be slated for the Chief Clerkship to General Freight Agent DeFuniak.
 The Louisville and Nashville officials held a meeting at Atlanta yesterday and a. circular showing the schedule of changes in the freight office force is expected to be made public today or tomorrow.

New Point Is Raised In Litigation of
 Mir. Gray.

A new feature developed in the oust- CT suit of the State of Alabama through Henry B. Gray of Birmingham, to re- move the Louisville and Nashvilie Railroad from the control and operation of the South and North Railroad Of Alabama yesterday, when Plea No. IT was filed by the defendants, against the prosecution of the case.
 This plea, while going over to large extent the pleas formerly submitted for the consideration of the court, makes an additional argument why the Louisville and Nashville should not be disturbed in it's present course of op- erating the South and North. replying to the arguments made in favor of the custer suit by the attorneys for the State before Judge A. D. Sayre last week.
 In refutation of the charges made against 1t. the Louisville and Nashville Company in the plea filed yesterday. takes the position that it has never operated with out authority of law the South and North road. and that 1t has not enjoyed nor usurped the rights or franchises granted by the State.
