Paper and People.

Prosperous Birmingham! With passenger station costing over mil lion dollars going up at one end of the business district and great rail. road system coming in at the other, 1t is no wonder that an additional sky seraper office building is being reared; that ground is about to be broken for an eleven or twelve-story hotel, and that our trolley system is to expend this year a million dollars in making extensions and improvements. Tn the suburbs the Tennessee and Republic companies, now practically one, are discussing developments that involve vast outlays of capital.
 In this happy, prosperous city the Age-Herald proposes to stand for the people in the future at 1t has in the past. The paper that fought for and secured better fire protection and in- surance rates on the first-class risk basis can be trusted to fight other bat ties of the people, as they come up- They will assuredly come up in a growing city.
 Yesterdays Age-Herald of thirty-six pages is an example of progress and development, and well reflects Bir- mingham's bounding prosperity. Dur ing the spring and summer this paper will be kept up to the swelling propor- tions of Birmingham. This town is no longer provincial, a mere county seat of an interior county. It is the metropolitan center of a great min- eral district, and the Age-Herald will keep step with it. It will always speak for the business men of this district in a comprehensive manner. It will be made a paper that the people of this section will be proud of. Sundays Age-Herald points the way.

900 bushels of grain is in store and it
is estimated that not more than 40 per
cent can be saved.
The accident has been attributed to
many causes, but it is believed that
the concrete work was defective. Com
petent engineers who have examined
the ruins share in this opinion. The
building had a capacity of 100000

The transferring Of grain from the

before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been great cof-

decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night According to
the records of the specialists of this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case is incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one is that the

BURIED TREASURE LOCATED.
Empora Men Say They Found $780,

Emporia, Kan, Jan. %. - Hidden
treasure to the amount of 100000
is said to have been discovered on
Phenis Mound, few miles southwest
of here. The alleged lucky men are
Martin Turner and Otto Freshwater,
of Emporia. In 1S4S three miners
returning from California, were at
tackled by Indians while crossing what
is now Lyon county, and took refuge
on Phenis Mound. They found it i'm
possible to escape with their gold,
according to the story, and buried it
on top of the mound. There is said
to have been $4,000 in coin and the
remainder in gold dust and gold bear
ing quartz. Afterward, the three min.
ers never returned to dig up their
treasure, and it is this that Turner
and Freshwater claim to have found.
They have shown few pieces of
gold-bearing quartz to substantiate
their story.

PRIVILEGES OF FOREIGNERS IN
CELESTIAL KINGDOM CUT.
MODELLED ON GERMAN SYSTEM.
Treaty Ports Are Found to be Foreign
Territory-WiIl Retain Control of
Telephones and Many Other Public
Works.

Pekin, Jan. 22.-It is now propos-
ed by the Chinese government that
all foreign settlements in China to
be opened in future must differ in
status from the old treaty ports. 1t
is pointed out that these treaty ports
are practically foreign territory and
that therefore they are able to dis
pute the Chinese claims for damages,
as was instanced in the riots at
Shanghai where China was debar
red from maintaining troops to keep
order.
1t is the plan of the government to
greatly restrict the privileges of for
eigners.
The throne promulgated regula-
tions for the administration of the
recently opened port of Chinamanfu.
These are modelled somewhat on the
German system in operation at
Kiachau and will be enforced in all
new settlements. They provide that
no lands can be purchased by for
eigners, that the leases of lands to
foreign tenants shall be restricted
to thirty years, and that the rentals
shall be fixed by the government. 1t
is further provided that the Chinese
authorities shall control the policy of
these settlements, levy the taxes and
control the postal and telegraph sys-
TENS, and the public works. These
rules are to apply to the opening of
Manchuria by the Chinese under the
treaty with Japan.
The throne has commanded the
viceroys to submit reports regarding
the numbers and nationalities of the
missionaries in their districts.

Scherff, before his election. was a
