Scrap Books.


 The making of scrap books of press clippings has developed Into an fndus- try of no small proportions and many books are ordered as gifts, unique. original and absolutely Editions de Luxe No two books can be alike and after limited period of time could not be duplicated at any price, it be- ing impossible to get back dates of newspapers.
 MT. Burrelle first attracted public attention to his work when he com- piled the famous Dewey album pre- sented to the Admiral on his trium- phant return from the Philippines by the members of the Maritime Exchange of New York. This book. costing $3,- 100, is now on exhibition at the smith sonian Institute,
 Many other books less pretentious have been made the most notable be- inE the obituaries of the late Senator Hanna, the Transatlantic Yacht race. the visit of Prince Henry. the Inter National Railway Congress and the History of the Campaign of 1904. pre- sented to Chairman Cortelyou by his associates of the Republican Commit tee.

RIVERS ARE RISING
STAGE OF as OR 10 FEET IS Ex-
 PECTED TODAY.
Fair WeatheR Gives Hopes That The Flood Will Begin To Recede
 After Today.

The rise in the river, which had been forecasted by the weather Bu- reau as result of the heavy rain fall Monday and Tuesday began at Montgomery yesterday. During the day, the water reached the thirty-five fo6t mark, which is four feet higaer than the water stage of Wednesday morning. A still higher stage is looked for during today and toner- row, the estimated height which the water will reach being in the neigh borhood of thirty eight or forty feet.
 The fair weather which obtained in ali parts of the State yesterday re- moved the fears of further serious trouble from the Coosa and Alabama rivers. Although moreNthan an inch of water fell in the northern part of the state Wednesday, 1t Is not thought this amount will exert any appreciable effect upon the flood conditions now existing, beyond a slight additional rise
 Farther down the river, 1t Is ex- pected that greater damage will be done than at Montgomery and points north, but beyond keeping the river at a high stage for a few days longer. it is not anticipated that any great loss will result directly from the re- cent rains
 At Montgomery the river will con tinue to rise until sometime during to- morrow. when the highest stage will have been passed

LOST LIFE INSURANCE REPORT
 Is FOUND IN A CHICKEN COOP

The annual statement Of the tIassa- chusetts Mutual Life Insurance Com pany was expressed to the State De- pertinent of Insurance some time ago but was lost in a coop of chickens and did not reach the department until yesr terday.
 The reason for the loss of the re- port and its finding in the midst of the festive flyers is due to a series of accidents which the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company has no control.
 In January, according to law, the Massachusetts Mutual expressed It's annual statement to Deputy Commis- sioner H. R. Shorter. Weeks passed and the statement failed to put in an appearance. The Deputy Commission CT wrote the insurance company The officers expressed surprise and an in- vestigatior was started but the state- ment failed to be found
 Yc-terday, Deputy Shorter received a letter from Pensacola. Fla from a person named McFadden. who operates q poultry farm near the Florida city. He said in his letter that in January he received s chicken coop of some rare birds few days ago, while looking through the coop, he found a mysterious package.

agreed. and the courts have sustained this view, that corporations are not above the laws of the State which made their existence possible. An officer or a company may today refuse to answer on the ground that he would himself be incrimlnated by replying, but he cannot refuse to answer on the ground that hls company would be in- eliminated. In other words, corpora tions are no longer considered to have the same rights as individuals, and canot evade Investigation and prosecu- tion by maintaining a policy of silence.
 Such is the moral sense of the coun- try and such is the law as determined by the highest courts, and with such a condition of public sentiment and law it is no longer possible for public of ficials to plead that they cannot get at the facts whenever there is a sus- picion that any corporation has failed to comply with the laws of the state which created 1t.
 'The only point in which the suit against the standard oil Company diff fers from other proceedings of sini- lar character lies in the fact that 1t is In sense a pioneer effort to get at the exact facts as to the organization Of the great corporation after which most of the other great companies have been modelled.

controvery over Property.


 A bill was filed in the equity divi- sion of the city court yesterday by Breckenridge Lucas against L. M. Boyd, asking that adjudication be rem dered with regard to the purchase of a piece of property by the plaintiff from the defendant.
 According to the bill. Lucas made contract with Boyd for the purchase of IsO acres in Macon County. the price named being s2,ee0. Of this amount $500 was to be cash payment.
