Says the Chihuahua Enterprise: MT. Hartman has not had much to say in the last few weeks. No wen der; his experiences with presidents of republics have not been encourag ing. He first tried it in on President Diaz in giving away his plan of try. ing to create a great railroad merger in Mexico in connection with simi- lar one in the states. Diaz beat him to it and created the present merger with the government in control Then Hartman tried his luck on Teddy and came out second best or the first round and the second and so on-and Teddy is not through with him yet For twice Hartman lost his head in picking his man"

Since the city of Birmingham is not provided with humane method of kill ing dogs, the all-feared dog catcher has not yet begun his trips. Thus far in- stead of the hot summer days being filled with fleeing dogs shouting negroes. yell ing whelps, and weeping pet lovers as during last year, all has been bliss fully quiet.
 The vagrant dogs were so thoroughly killed out last year that few of them are to be seen around the streets, and they are not worrying the public to any extent. There are still some, however, which undoubtedly need attention.
 On account of the fact also, that the new city pound is to be built shortly, it has been thought better to wait until it is finished before installing an asphixia tor Heretofore the dogs have been killed by drowning, 1900 going to a watery grave last year.
 None have been caught this year, nor will it be done until some painless death is arranged. Street Commissioner Me Cartin intends to begin work shortly on the pound which is to be constructed on the block purchased by the city for the crematory site.

WEST END STOCK
 STILL AT LARGE
NEW LAW WILL NOT BE PUT INTO EFFECT UNTIL EARLY IN OcTo- BER-eETTINe READY TO DO SOME PAVING.

West End will not put it's stock law into effect until the early part of Octo- Der. When the law was passed by the city council the date on which 1t was to take effect was about two weeks from the date of passage. Owing to the fact that cows are almost as numerous as babies in that suburb it was thought best to give the "stockholders' chance to prepare things for the keeping up of their cows so the date was set forward two months.
 Arrangements are rapidly being complet- ed for the paving of the streets between Poplar street and Hagoods and the ave nues between Cotton and Second avenues A new kind of tar pavement WI be put down. which is said to be of splendid wearing qualities.
 Connections with the sewers are being made as rapidly as possible. and prae- tlcally every house in West End will be connected with the sewer in a very short while There are two main sewers, one on Poplar street and the other on Grady street. Most of the connections being made now are on the Grady street branch.

The accompanying sketch represents about the manner in which the dog killer will be constructed. It has not been decided whether charcoal or Illuminating gas will be used to kill the animals but an up-to-date and convenient way will be arranged. The city does not intend to allow drowning any more. as cossider- able sentiment was aroused last year against the methods persued.
 Birmingham's facilities for caring for dumb brutes are sadly deficient when compared with other cities. where thor oughly organized and v.sila;< humane societies exist. In Philadelphia, the hu- mane society has charge of the pound as well as the dog tax feature.
 However, it Is probable that everything will be ready for business by the first or middle of next month, and then the dog wagon will begin its regular rounds. Officer Bonnie has secured samples of a net dog catcher which will be more hu- mane than the wires used previously and this may be adopted. He has also sug- gested that the searches be made only at night. to prevent the heart breaking scense which often ensue.

STILL KICKING ON
 HIGH HACK FARE
City Attorney Smith Thinks Prices Exorbitant and New Ordinance
 Impractlcable.

From every direction complaints are coming in against the proposed city ordi- nance raising the price schedule for hack service. Where and why it originates, is not known, but 1t Is believed that 1t will be passed.
 Alderman Walter Moore introduced the ordinance. He Is out of the city and cannot be heard from but 1t Is believed that he merely introduced 1t by request, in order to allow the council to consider 1t on It's merits.
 When asked relative to the new schod- ule yesterday, City Attorney F. D. Smith said that no doubt the proposed prices are exorbitant and did not think them practical.
 People have so much trouble with hack men as it is, that they hate to get any mathematical problems mixed up. in It, nor do they wish to pay twice as much as they have been. They are waiting to hear something from those who favor the raise

PROHIBITION FIGHT
 ID HAVE SURPRISES
Anti-SaIoon Forces Depend on
 Drinking Men
MUST RUN THE GAUNTLET
Both Sides Will Exert Their Strong est Efforts and the Fight Will Be Very spirited-pate to Be
 Fixed Soon.

"The prohibition fight is to be won
 with the vote of drunkards" if at all,
 is the numerous sentiment that per
 vades the plans of those behind the campaign in Jefferson T look around
 me-" said former Mayor Nandiver in a
 mass meeting which ordered a local op- tion election in Talladega the other day,
 and I see more drunkards than any thing else"
 It is claimed that the drunkards can be pitted against the landlords, and the
 marrow minded conservatives" and
 come off victorious for prohibition. A l strong vote against liquor comes from the men who drink whisky because they know the detrimental effects of alchohol even better than the temper ates.
 It will be no simple matter to vote against prohibition. First a man will have to bluff all the preachers in his neigh borh ood, then the women can vassers of the Womens Christian Tem- perance union, then his own wife and
 mother and sisters then all his tenn
 perance friends. Finally election day will come. Ap-
 preaching the poll he will hear the voice of school children singing Bless ings on Our Home" He will pass through hundreds of the little people
 who will thrust banners and dry" tickets into his hands
 At last he will come to the entrance,
 and find that he must pass through a nf fo raanh the tellers. Finally some neighbours wife will spy him, and falling on his neck,
 beg him to vote for the children" Throwing up his hands he will cry,
 "Give me dry ticket and let me get
 out of thisl"
 Or perhaps he will have enough tudg-
 ment to previously get dry ticket, and
 smillingly walk up to the polls amid
 the cheers of the crowds. man can not ease his conscience by saying he is voting against prohibition" The tickets will read, For Whisky" and
 Against Whisky" which the lawmak-
 CTS were shrewd enough to provide in
 the option bill.
 Politically, the fight will be some thing warm. Not a stone will be left
 uncovered. The landloards that power ful body, whose efforts to keep the saloons in their buildings are always
 so strenuous, will find theirs hard road to travel. They will be hunted l down, and shown up In public meet ings, at their churches, and on the ] streets, by name. until they will be
 ashamed to show face on the streets.
 The fight will undoubtedly be close,
 as the whisky interests are going to
 use all their efforts, and they will have
 the backing of number of business
 men who think Birmingham would be harmed by the exit of whisky At any rate, the meeting to be held in the rooms of the Anti-Saloon league, | if all of the members most of whom have been out of the city, return, will | see the prohibition campaign well lounched, and an election set for the near future.

NEW WAY TO GET
 EVEN WITH ICE MAN
BILL WATCHES FOR THE OPPOR- TUNITY AND GETS A CHUNK FROM THE WAGON WHILE THE DRIVER IS NOT LOOKING.

"No, sir, I a'lnt gwine ter take dat chunk CT ice back You know dem nig gers don't never give us 20 cents wuf CT ice CT day." was the reply given to a Second avenue business man yesterday afternoon when he told his negro janitor to restore block or ice to a wagon out of which he had just taken it without the knowledge or consent of the driver.
 The negro is one of the short coal black specimens, who could pass for twen ty or sixty years of age and no one doubt him. While he is black he has a sense of justice and this sense has been deeply grieved during the hot weather which has had Birmingham in its grip for the past four months. The clause of this grievance was the manner In which the ice man has been sighting his Firm" in giving them short weight ice. This fact caused the desire to get even with the ice man to develop in his brain and he kept his eyes open for the chance. Success rewarded his efforts. An ice wag- on of different company than the one who had been furnishing his firm with ice stopped directly in front of this firm S headquarters, and gave him the chance for which he had been longing The diff ference in ice companies made no diff ference to him.
 The two negroes who ran the wagon had gone next door to deliver ice leaving the ice wagon wide open for burglars. This was all the hint Bill needed Looking in every direction good so as to oe sure none of the ice negroes were looking, he seized a large chunk of ice and made q dash for his doorway and then hid the ice in the pack part of the building. No amount of instructions, demands or threats on the part of the manager could persuade him to return the ice to It's owner. The ice man returned to his wagon. looked in at the back and IS everything appeared o. K. to him drove on; minus of the knowledge that he mad been robbed.
 This particular instance presents anoth- CT view of the ice question whicl: City At torney Ed Smith has been trying to solve. : If the giving of short weights by ice 1 men makes negro servants and janitors become kleptomaniacs how will it affect the housewives and men who have to Day l for the ice?

Glass literally filtered the sidewalks around town where 1t was either blown or shaken out by the thunder. Trees were struck in prominent places, although the lightning is not known to have done any particular damage.
 Among other chimneys which attempt ed to turn their openings for smoke to- ward the lower regions was that above Adams drug store This chimney also came near sending two or three negroes into oblivion, for the bricks fell all around them, and took the kink out of their hair for years to come.
 The telephone companies had trouble of their own, with hundreds of phones out of fix, while the railroads were worried by the loss of nearly all their eonnec tlons The Louisville and Nashville had only four wires moving, and the yards were tied up last night, until the bricks could be remedied.

RUNS MILE FROM
 HIS FATHER -IN-LAW
Rlq Giant Creates Sensation By Flee. ing Through Town Under a
 Drunken DeIrlum.

Yelling Murder! Help! Police"' one Pat O'IIara dashed along Eighteenth street from Fourth avenue to the post office last night at about Il o'clock, at tracing a large crowd, and was finally hauled up by Policemen Burke and Hen derson.
 Painting from the exertlons of ten block run, he tried to explain to the officers how his father-in-law and mother in-law had sworn to kill him, how they had run him out of the house on Fourth avenue and Sixteenth street, and how he had skipped for hls life.
 It was a seven-foot giant who thus sprinted nearly a mile in front of imagi- nary enemies.
 "Begorra, hits show true. He started tn Kill me, and he would, bless Pat, II hadn't CT showed him a clear path.'
 The Irlshman was given drink of fresh water and sent home to sleep off his dementia whiskyianna.

SebeYe Storm Breaks
 Ober City and Dist1ict

The midsummer storm which suddenly swooped down on Birmingham last night left no little trouble in it's wake. Moving picture goers wore sad faces when thun- der and lightning, dripping rain and run ming rivers greeted them as they left their mystic wonderlands.
 Then they started home. Splashing through water above the ankle they boarded the various cars which stood around town, with their trolley poles pulled down. When these finally started, the suburban people had not yet come tc their troubles On the Gate City line the water blocked the way for three hours. Toward Bessemer the ears could not pass, for high water, and from every quarter there came tales of woeful wet ting.
 The Boyes accommodation had to cease operating at 10 o'clock on account of the fact that telegraph poles blocked the Way. A large gang was sent out to clear them away, and nearly every pole along the line was found across the track.

WHAT STALE BE
 DONE WITH ICE MAN
City Attorney Smith Believes the City Cannot Force Delivery Under
 Present Laws.

The noise raised over ice and the ice men has cooled down as much as if 1t were packed between two blocks of fro- zen water. But City Attorney F. D. Smith is preparing to answer Mayor Ward $ questions when the chief executive re- turns from his vacation.
 Mayor Ward, before leaving for Eu- rope, addressed letter to the city at torney asking for an opinion as to the power the city has for control over the local ice company.
 MT. Smith has not completed his inves- tigation but he was ready to state yes- terday that the city has not the authorl- ty to force he ice company to deliver Ice, there being no law on the statute books to that effect. The question which he is still Investigating, and Is not yet ready to be quoted upon, is whether the board of aldermen has power 10 pass an ordi- nance putting such control in the hands of the city.
 It Is a very interesting and mooted question of law, including some fine points that will bear close study.
