LUIS VEPE.

He aquf Juarez Formidable ariete,
Que su mirada un porvenir revela,
Hello ALI como frme centinela,
Que libertad Mexico promote.
No es el hombre de lucha; es el coloso
Que sobre ell mundo de Colon gravita:
Es Juarez, oil genio que medita
en- la orilla del Bravo caudaloso.
No caben en- ell lienzo de la historic
Del titanico Juarez las ha2aIas,
Que el paso presidiendo las campaiias
En- el f1lg!do caro- de la gloria.
Aun me parece que EN- su altiva frente
Arde la llama que su genio alienta:
Sc oculta ell Sol: pero al nacer, ostenta
Una aureola de luz mas explendente.
Plugo haoer de Judrez, al destino
Otro Noises, y cuando q Dios invoea,
En- la alta Gina de sus sueios toca,
Y Sc rcaliza el ideal divino.
La Diosa Libertad, despu6s, fecuuds,
De nuestros campos ell tostado suelo,
Mientras al riego bienhechor del cielo,
Germina el grano y il. cosecha abunda.
Salve mil veces la heroica TERRA
De cuyo seno vfrgen surgi6 ell hombre,
Que por dar q Ia Patria lustre y nombre
Una tesla arrebatd In guerra.
Pafa honra J gloria de la edad futura
Y eterno monumento del pasado,
Tu nombre los Parrenses hoy lie han
dadO
Al hermoso plantel que hoy Sc inaugu-
ra.
Doblad la frente ante la gran potencis
A quien la Patria Salvador pToclama,
Ante ese pensador que con su fama,
De Mexico sell6 la Independence.
Bien cuadra que ell artista haya descrito
Con pincel de ore en- pagina brilante,
Al hombre que escal6 como gigantic
La muda inmensidad ,lel inhni,o.
De los Andes las cunbres son su asien-

However, others are ex- pected, as 1t is a secret not overly well kept that Colbert county has a bunch of fellows who are not adding to the poliu- cal fortunes of Judge Almon if they can help it. Another vacancy exists in the Fifth district, Judge J. J. Harlan of Dade vile having gone west to grow up with the country since the last session. The third Is in the Seventh, caused by the death of J. H. Meigs of Albertville. The candidates for the last named vacancy are Leon c. McCord of Marshall, secre- tary to the supreme court, and Hugh H. White, a young lawyer of Center. Both are expected to be on the ground early to make the fight. B. c. Jones of Randolph will also resign to be succeeded prob ably by Judge s. A. Driver of Chambers.
 It is understood that Brooks Smith, one of the Sixth district members of the committee. who is reputed to be candi- date for auditor, will not announce or re- tire at this meeting of the committee. He will no doubt take a little more time to make up his mind on when he will get into the race.
 The officers of the committee are Fl. s. D. Mallory, Selma, chairman; John c. Pugh, Birmingham, secretary.
 Later Arrivals.
 Among the arrivals on the afternoon trains were Emmett O'Neal, candidate for the democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, who came from his home al Florence He was accompanied by Frank N.

 E. K. Campbell, chairman of the Ninth congressional democratic committee, came in also, just to have a look in on the state committed" he said. Along with him came Jones G. Moore of Birmingham, a member of the state committee.
 Judge F. B. Almon of Sheffield. who ar rived on a late train, was accompanied by his wife and son and daughter. They are at the Imperial hotel. The judge hopes, as noted above, to be elected on the state committee to take the place now held by Nathan of Sheffield. who will resign.
 Wiley Tunstall. Jr., solicitor of the city court of Anniston is also here He claims to have come to the supreme court, how ever.
 Others will be here early in the morn ing Among these will be Henry B. Gray. of Birmingham, candidate for lieutenant governor; Dr. R. M. Cunningham, candi- date for governor, and D. J. Meador of Marengo, spoken of for lieutenant gov ernOr.

PURCHASED aY SANTA FEE.
The Denver, Enid and Gulf Railroad
 Changes Hands In Wichita.

Wichita, Kan, January s.-The Santa Railroad company has purchased all the stock of the Denver, Enid and Gulf rail- road and at a meeting held in St. Louis, James N. Young was chosen president of the Denver, Enid and Gulf Railroad company. He will have his headquarters at Enid, Okla. The other officers of the company remain unchanged. This means that the Santa Fe Is now the owner of the track of the Denver, Enid and Gulf now completed between Guthrie. Okla, and Kiowa, Kan.
 What will be done about the further extension of the line to the northwest Is now unsettled, but will be determined by F. L. Peckham vice president of the line, on his return to Enid from St. Louis, where this deal was consummated. The original plan of the projectors was to run a line from Denver to the Gulf of Mexico.

WARS
 TO REACH FOCUS
BIG LEAGUERs SPLIT ON THE OPENING DATES OF THEIR RE- sPEcTWE ASSOCIATIONS AND ASK FOR NO QUARTERS.

Chicago. January s.-One hundred and fifty-eight baseball clubs will be repre- scented at the meeting of the National As sociation of Professional League clubs. which convenes here tomorrow. Today delegates to the annual session arrived in force. and the day was spent in the discussion of the politics baseball. There were rumors of serious division in the organization which it was said would come to a focus at the election of the na- tional board tomorrow, although these were not generally credited. It was con- ceded tonight that President Powers and Secretary Farrell would be reelected, probably unanimously.
 The real fight is expected over the se- lection of the national board of arbitra- ton. The present members-Kavanaugh Southern league; Murname of the New England league; Bert, Pacific Coast league: Griffiths, Eastern league, and Te- beau, American assoeiation-are all to be presented for reelection.
 The committee on constitution recom- mended today the election of members of the board of arbitration for different periods of service, some to serve two or three years and others only one year. This, 1t Is thought, will prevent an un- desirable clique from getting into power at any one time.
 Chicago, January S.-The National and American leagues have split over the schedule question, and next spring there will be two distinct openings. the Na- tional league at it's recent meeting in New York voting to begin the playing season April 12. President Johnson of the Ameri- can league considered this date too carly and after falling to persuade the National league to postpone It's opening date an nounced tonight that the American league would not open the season until April H. regardless of what the National league ShnIld do

FIRE AT COLLEGE.
Main Building of State Normal at AL
 bany Is Burned.

Albany, N. r., January 9.-The north main building of the State Normal school was burned to the ground and the resi- dence of the president of the college, Dr. William J. Milne was badly damaged to- night by fire which broke out at about S:9O o'clock. and which had made such headway before the alarm was rung that the building could not be saved A stiff wind swept the fire round to the chapel building and it was with the utmost difficulty that any building in the college group was saved.
 One fireman was seriously hurt. The loss, it is estimated, will approximate $2O0,0OO, to offset which the state has an insurance of $SO,OO0 Both in the college and in the presidents residence priceless records and literary collections were de- strOyed.
