STRANGER PUTS BUGS IN BEDS
 70 GET CLEANING CONTRACT

If q strange man comes to your house and fnds bugs in your feather beds, don't give him a contract to clean the feathers. because
 feather renovator. who was caught working fraudulent scheme in one of Montgomefy's best residences yester- day, barely escaped tbe strong arm of the law. Those who held the power to thrust him behind the bars, were moved by his plea for pity and allowed him to go with warning.
 Within the past few days this man and his companion had been canvass Ing the city in the interest of a feather renovating plant which they have in- stalled. It was their custom to visit the most fashionable residences, solic- fting business. The head man, who had such 8 narrow escape yesterday, it appears, was in the habit of introduc- ing himself and his business at a resi- dence and asking to be shown the Feather beds and pillows of the house. He would quickly cut a slit in the beds and pillows, run his hand inside the ticking and sbring out a handful of feathers, apparently containing worms, hugs and moths. The housekeeper was, of course. mortified to see such in- sects tnfesting the feathers, and they were all given to the renovator for cleansing.
 But the scheme failed yesterday when
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-11-22

he visited fine residence. A trap had been laid for him. A pillow which he had cleaned for another household in the neighborhood, was laid on the bed. He was received at the home and was asked to examine the pillow. The slit was cut in the ticking, he reached in his arm and pulled out a bunch of feathers filled with the insects.
 This is the pillow you have just cleaned" exclaimed the housekeeper in angry tones. The renovator was clev- crly caught at his own game. The husband of the housekeeper, who had waited at home to help spring the trap, appeared and caught the man before he could get away. The renovator then practically admitted his dishonest methods. He broke down and offered to refund every cent paid for feather cleaning.
 Moved by pity for the renovator the man of the house consented to allow the renoyator to go unharmed by the law, although 1t had been his impulse to call the police and bring charges against the feather cleaner.
 The police, however, learned of the incident later and they will arrest the renovator if any more crooked deal- inRs should come to light.
 So, if a strange man finds bugs in your feathers, make sure they are your bugs before you give him con- tract.

Interest Aroused Over Location of New
 Court House.

Court H0use.
 Tuscaloosa, Nov. 21.--(SpeciaI. 1- Considerable speculation is prevalent among interested citizens as to whert the County Commissioner and Board oi Public Works will locate the new Court House, which. they have determined to build. At the time of the general elections the Tuscaloosa County people aIs0 voted on the issue of bonds fol the purpose of building a new Court House, and the only question now re- maining is the selection of good lo- cation. The lots which will perhaps receive consideration are the present location of the Court House, the hall block upon which the opera house for merly stood, and the old jail site, which is still the property of the county.
 A number Of citizens are highly in favor of the county's buying an entire block, and surrounding the Court House with a park, after the style of nun Der of the older towns of the South. Tuscaloosa will, in fact, be vastly im- proved when the public and quasi pub lie buildings now in the course of com struction or contemplated construction, are completed. The Mason's Temple is growing daily. the Elks' new and elegant little theatre is about complet- ed, with an initial performance booked for December 4, and the $100.000 Court House and $15O,000 Government butld- ing are assured.
 Capt. W. A. Collier had narrow es- cape a night or so ago while asleep at his home on QIacen City Avenue. A drunken man passing Captain Golfers residence fired shot through the win- dow of Captain Golfers room, the bull let imbeding itself in the bed post just a few inches from his head. Captain Collier was at once aroused and imme- diateIy telephoned the police who re- sponded promptly and in less than an hour had the guilty party. The man was John Adams. He was arraigned before the Mayor. and suffered heavy fines in two cases which had been dock eted against him, discharging firearms in the city and carrying concealed weapons.
 The street fair which is showing in Tuscaloosa this week under a contract with the warrior Guards, the local com pany of State troops, did a great bus mess yesterday. The weather was fair and of a summer nature and crowds of people thronged the streets all af- ternoon and until late at night. Mrs. W. F. Fitts' many friends re. gret to hear of her serious illness. Mrs Fitts Is a prominent member of many of the social organizations of the town.

Shortage nR Cnrn


 es' am on the same mission that every travelling railroad man in the United States is on, hunting cars," said IraVeling Freight Agent Saurie of the queen and Crescent, who reached Mont gomery yesterday morning from his headquarters in Chattanooga.
 This morning." he continued, q found one of our cars that for some time has been used by a railroad run nlng out of Montgomery which has been running backwards and forwards between here and lumber mill on the line of that road. Now that car is worth something like $4 a day to us in the present stringency of rolling stock. but what can we do? The road using our car pays twenty five cents per diem. making a profit of something ike $3.75 day, and they can keep that car under the present rules just as long as they pay the per diem. I don't See but one remedy and that is to make the per diem charges S1 a day instead of Twenty-Five cents. And this win make some of the smaller lines chary about using other peoples cars"
 This seems to be the condition of every railroad in the country from Maine to Mexico, but in addition to the car shortage, the Louisville and Nash Vile has a problem euqally as grave confronting it, That company has a great deal more freight business than it can handle and from Cincinnati to New Orleans every yard is blocked with cars while nearly every sidetrack on the entire system is filled with freight cars. In the local yards in North Montgomery the situation seems to be getting worseS every day. Superinten- dent J. I. Mckinney and Master of Trains T. H. Mizell spend r-ost of their time every day in the yards and with General Yardmaster Grant work inces- sanity to get the tanEle straightened out
 Yesterday was about the worst that has been experienced yet. The yards were solid mass of cars while strings of them stretched all the way from the

The Louisville and Nashville had some late trains over it's own road last night as well as the Southern Railway. Train No. {, due from New Orleans at 6:20 p. m-, was two hours late causing the Western train No. S6, due to leave at 6:30 p. Tn., to get out at S:30, this train being the link between the Louisville and Nashville and Southern from San Francisco to New York and the East generally. The Louisville and Nashville train No. 8, due from Cincinnati and Chicago at 7:25 ?. In., was three hours late last night. The Atlantic Coast Line train No. 5S, due to leave for Jacksonville at 7:45 D. m., had to hold for the Louisville and Nashville as 1t gets a Pullman from Chicago to St. Augustine. Florida, on that train, caus- ing 1t to leave at 10:45. The Western train No. S7, due at &20 p. m., came in in two sections, the first being on time and the second three hours late waiting on the Southern in Atlanta.
