There is more Catarrh In this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together and until the
last few years was supposed to be
ncurable. For q great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catrrh
to be a constitutional ailment.

frosty and cloudy The sun did
not shine in Novem Der. Some
snow, enough for sleigh riding
and lots of rain. 1t is now four
days since we have seen the sun,

new MUNICIPAL
LAW Is PROPOSED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH NEW CON-
STiTUTlON LEGISLATURE MUST
ENACT GENERAL CODE FOR
TOWNS AND CITIES.

One of the most important items of leg
islation to come up at the next session
of the legislature will be a general munic-
ipal BILL provided for In the new constl-
tuition.
This provision of the constitution pro-
vides for the passage of a general munich
pal charter or code governing municipali-
ties of the state.
Such a bill was presented at the last
session, but on account of disagree
ment in conference. the bill failed of pas
sage.
The measure is very important one,
and effects every town and city in the
the proposed legislation yesterday, Ro-
maine Boyd of Ensley, candidate for the
legislature from Jefferson county, said:
Section 1O4 of the new constitution
provides that the legislature shall not
pass a local law Incorporating city,
town or village. or amending, confirming
or extending the charter of any private
or municipal corporation, provided this
shall not prohibit the legislature from
altering or rearranging the boundaries
of the city, town or village
1T is then provided that the leglsla-
ture shall pass general laws on the sub
I jects to which local legislation is pro-
hibited.
THE last legislature, which was the
first after the adoption of the new consti-
tuition, proceeded to carry out the direc-
ton of the constitution on this subject,
and two different bills were introduced in
the legislature providing a general munlc-
ipal charter, similar to those in force
in a number of other states, for the cities
and towns in Alabama. These two bills
were prepared by separate committees
of the house and senate, during the sum-
mer recess, at a considerable expense OF
time and labor. the house bill embracing
ninety-two pages of printed matter.
But, 1t is said the house and senate
could not agree as to which was tae
best bill or effect a compromise, so that
the legislature adjourned without enact
Ing any legislation on the subject.
THE proposed legislation makes the
adoption of the general municipal laws
or charter optional with the existing
cities and towns, and IL the first general
bill proves defective in the light of ex-
perience, subsequent legislation will

doubtless amend the act so as to cure
the defects. But since no special munich
pal charter can be amended or enlarged.
1t Is clear that all the Incorporated cities
and towns will eventually adopt the gen
eraI charter provided 1t Is so prepared
as to be adapted to their needs There
is at present a bref general law intended
for the incorporation of villages, but the
powers granted in this law are so slight
and insufficient as to amount to almost
nothing.
"The new bill will probably provide
for towns of population from 100 and up,
and will considerably help and extend the
powers of the smaller towns Incorporated
under the present general law.
1.-The house bill, as introduced in the
last legislature classified the cities and
towns and villages in Alabama In three
classes according to populations of 100
and over, 1000 and over, and 25,00O and
over and provided for their organization
according to class. In cities of the first
class, that is, $4,000 and over, provision
was made for a board of public works
and a board Of public safety, the former
to have control and supervision of all
streets, parks, public buildings, etc, and
the latter of the police and fire depart
ments these departments to be put on
civil service basis.
''The number OF wards was not to be
less than eight, nor more than eighteen,
with one alderman from each ward and
seven counclmen at large. The general
trend of this bill was to also slightly in
crease the authority and responsibility
of the mayor as the superintendent and
general manager OF the municipality All
the authority and powers usually found
In special charters was delegated by this
bill. and provisions were made for the
regulation of many matters of detail In
short the bill was intended to be a COM
plete code of general municipal laws, to
be further perfected as time and expert

ST. Paul DELAYS Plans.

Information comes from highly reputa-
BILE source that the controlling interests
in St. Paul are holding up their plans for
building an extension to the Pacific coast
that they may have time to consider an
offer from the Union Pacific to buy the
property. This offer was made just prior
to the recent meeting of the st. Paul
directors, which was convened to give
official approval to arrangements tenta-
lively entered into for the new construc-
ton and equipment, which would entail
an outlay of approximately $50,O00,000 first
and last. The senior Rockefellers who are
In Europe were communicated with and
word came back that 1t would be well to
give the proposition careful consideration
before proceeding further with building
plans. The figures named in the bid Is
not authoritatvely stated. but 1t Is above
200 for the capital stock, which price was
offered by J. Pierpont Morgan nearly six
years ago and rejected.
The purchase of st. Paul for account
of Union Pacific interests, while it might
be a good thing for ST. Paul stockholders,
would be likely to exert baleful in
fuence on the stock market. Wall street
would be quite apt to look on the move
as reopening of the warfare between the
Hartman alliance on one side and the
Hill-Morgan combination on the other
with the Standard Oil influence backing
up Hartman and his schemes The Union
Pacific autocrat has never for a moment
abandoned his purpose of invading the
Hill territory in the northwest. The
failure of his effort to gain possession Of
Northern Pacific and Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy was merely a setback. He
never considered it a defeat. 1t Is not
considered likely that definite action for
the disposition of St. Paul will be taken
before fail although in the absence of the
Rockefellers Mr.. James Stillman, who has
returned to New York, is quite qualified
to represent them in the deal, especially
as the overshadowing Mr.. II. II. Rogers
will always be at his elbow Mr.. Jacob H.
Schff, ruling spirit of Kuhn, Loeb q
Co., will soon be back to give aid and
counsel to Mr.. Hartman as the latter
gentleman may require. II the proposed
deal goes through the Union Pacific mile
age will be increased from about $1,000
miles to 24000 miles, not counting Chica-
go and Northwestern. which may be
counted on as a close ally.

HIPS Ore Deal a Joke.

People are trying to make joke out
of the James ]. Hill ore deal with the
Steel trust They have heard so much
about this deal that they begin to be
very skeptical and in mock seriousness
go about inquiring II the ore beds re-
ferred to have real existence. There is
woeful lack Of information as to the
exact metes and bounds of this ore body
and its value: also its actual ownership.
It has been variously advertised as be-
longing to the Northern Pacific, the
Great Northern and to Mr.. Hill perso-
nally. Statements as to Its value range
from $25,0OO,00O to s50o.O00,0O0. 1t would APP
pear that the deal whenever il shall be
made will prove of fabulous value to the
Steel trust and of equally astounding adj
vantage to Mr.. Hill. although the alter
native statement is made that in parting
with the land Mr.. Hill will be giving
away property for a fraction Of its real
worth This is one OF Mr.. IIills habits,
this thing Of beggerng himself for hui
manity.
Among the late items bearing upon the
Hill, iron proposition Is news from va
rious points in the northwest that large
independent iron and steel works are
about to be established to utilize the
metal deposit controlled by the railroad
magnate. That Mr.. Hill should contem-
plate such ventures is regarded by his
admires as evidence of his sagaclty and
business breadth. Nobody questions Mr.
Hills right to do these things In an
effort to hold up the Steel trust, but when
friends of John w. Gates intimated that

might be doing a little bulldozing to in
