RESULTS YESTERDAY
 AT POLICE MATINEE

apiece to promise me that you will never engage in this game again. a.ll you do lt?''
 "Yes. sir" respnded the three in a strong chorus. All right said the court, just hand those young gentlemen back BIO each, MT. Clerk
 In the trio was John Latham. who, in order to impress the court with the ap- preelation of the rebate stepped forward and declared that whatever else he might do In this life, he would never violate a law of the city of Birmingham again.
 This all took place about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and Mir Latham was ar rested twice before s D. m. .and spent the night in the city jail with his head badly bruised by pollceman's billy for resist ing an officer.
 One of the most interesting cases that was put on trial in the police court yes terday was that of the negro who was charged with stealing a bank.
 The negro proved all sorts of a good character. established an impressive alibi. and in fact made his ease so strong that the court believed that he was innocent. The only thing that confused Judge Fea- gin was that the negro who stole the bank wore a blue coat and the prisoner at the bar had on a brown coat. Finally the judge said:
 q will bind you over but don't think that a. jury will ever convict you"
 The coat discussion about this time brought out the fact that the man ac- eused of walking off with the bank had swapped coats during the morning and gave a liberal bonus for one much in- ferior to his own.

 The show was a delight to the hundreds of little folks who attended, as well as to a goodly number of adults who wit messed one of the best shows of the kind which has yet visited Birmingham.
 The seibel Brothers this year have spar ed no expense to bring their exhibition up to the high standard which the criti- their desire for plasure.
 The show opened this afternoon with a unique act entitled "The Carnival of Nations in which fifty ponies were put through an interesting set of movements requiring almost human intelligence. Pro lessor Edward E. Seibel, who has the dis tinction of being the worlds youngest ani- nal trainer originated this act which is one of the finest ever seen here. Profes- sor Sebel has absolute control over ev- cry pony with the show, winning their affection by kindness.
 The horses and ponies are not the only things of interest in the performance by any means. There are dogs of all sizes colors, breed and degrees of intelligence and the collection is considered one of the most valuable in the country. The poodles and their pretty act are partic- ularly pleasing to the little folks. A trick mule. of course. with the popular name of Maud" furnishes amusement during the performance by her antics and natural liking for fun.
 Harry T. Brown with a troupe of train ed monkeys gives one of the finest acts of the kind which is all the more ap- preciated when it is remembered that the monkey is one of the most disagree able animals to train for a performance of this nature. There are many more good acts in the show which are each worthy of mention, but they must be seen to be appreciated.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-WHEAT-The local
wheat market opened strong and higher
today. Receipts in the northwest showed
a slight increase, but the weather in that
section OF the country is very wet and
there is some talk of poor returns from
threshing Commission houses were fair
buyers and selling was scattered. Decem-
Der wheat opened 1sQAc higher. at 721sd
l2Ac, and sold at 7244 0T2ssc. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts OF
rs cars.
CORN-The corn market was higher.
partly in sympathy with wheat and oats,
and partly because of excellent buying by
commission houses. The failure of the
predicted frosts in the northwest was al
so a factor for higher figures December
corn opened 3sQAc to 3z0Ssc higher at
4zsa 4425sc, and sold at 42s4Q425sc.
OATS-Pit traders and commission
houses were active buyers of oats at the
opening Trading was in large volume
and the only sales in evidence seemed to
he those made by bulls, who wished to
realize on profits The December option
opened 3sQ1Ac higher, at 327zQ325sc, and
sold at 325zQ32sse.
PROVISIONS Provisions were steady
and higher. January pork opened sc
higher, at S1295 Lard was up 23ke. at
