 True enough and very gratifying to local prde the reader may say, but what does it mean to in divdua In the slang of the day. what do get out of 1t?
 Stop a minute and think: Here is an inland city, little than quarter of century old, that is firmly established in the ken of the human Where is the parallel in ancient modern history? What has raised Birmingham to this commanding position in the domain of intelligence if it is not her SHEER GREATNESS?
 Now the truth dawns upon you, does it notY You living in of the comparatively few places that really BIG according to the unerng scale of telegraph wire and the submarine cable And that is to say, while the world lives and there will be life and motion in Birmingham; and you, merchant, manufacturers pro- essonal man, property owner mechanic or laborer will feel this GLOBETHROB in your business or calling, whether you are conscious of it or not

Located in City Drug Store

in Minneapolis is closed one of the
most remarkable kidnapping cases in
police annals.
Deserted by her husband the nurse
girl, identified as Annie Ouestrusky,
gave her own little daughter to an
elderly Duluth couple to be cared for.
Going to Minneapolis she sought to
hide her identity by being known I'M
der assumed names. Her baby died
about three weeks ago.
She then secured employment as
nurse girl at the Giauque home. Be-
coming infatuated with the infant, or
suffering from some strange mental
affection and believing it her own, she
kidnapped it Thursday and left imme-
diately for Superior, where she was
captured and the baby recovered.
In her cell at the Central police
station the arrested woman does not
appear violent, though her mind wan
ders at times from the subject at hand
and her eyes rove restlessly from the
persons with whom she is speaking.
She responds to all questions and her
talk for the most part is rational, but
when asked regarding her motive in
kidnapping the child she is silent.

HEAVY RAIL ON THE TRACK
Attempt to Wreck Fast Train on the

Erie Road.
Buffalo, N. Y, May An attempt
was made to wreck Erie passenger
train No. 6 at a point mile and a
half east of Alden. This is the Erie's
fast night train from Buffalo to New
York and it had full load Of passen-
gers. The spot chosen for the work
was just east Of what is known as
Sulliyan's crossing. The; tracks are
laid on deep fill over a long ravine
and at point in the middle of the
curve heavy forty-foot rail was
placed across the eastbound track
and bolstered up by huge stones. The
train was composed of Pullman sleep
ing cars and heavy day coaches and
could not have been going more than
twenty-five or thirty miles an hour
when the headlight showed the rail
lying directly across the tracks. Engis
neer Wolfe shut off steam and applied
the emergency brakes. An instant
later the locomotive struck the rail.
One rock being smaller than the one
on the opposite side the loose rail
was showed over and thrown into the
ditch. The engine pilot was smashed
to splinters.

SAY PACKERS ARE ROUTED
Not Single Cow or Heifer Sold In
der New Rule.


Chicago, May 29.-Because of the
enforcement by the big packers Of
their new rule requiring postmortem
inspection of COWS and heifers as a
condition of purchase only the high
class grades of beef are being sold at
the stock yards for the Chicago trade.
During the first day of the enforce
ment of the rule the big packing firms
did not succeed in buying a solitary
COW Or heifer, according to the re-
turns made to the commission men at
the close Of business. None of the
5000 animals numbered in the list of
the days receipts as "cow stuff re-
manned unsold, however, all being sent
to other cities, and on this showing
the commission men insisted that the
big firms were routed in the first
skirmish.
The sales, however, we're at prices
from 10 to 20 per cent below the
range Of prices at the close of last
weeks market.
In this slump the big packers pro-
fessed to find evidence of their power.
They were not sanguine of the final
outcome, however, the commission
mems failure to get stuck on the
days receipts being an unlocked for
development.
Causes that contributed to the sue
cess Of the commission men in their
efforts to sell out everything were the
cooperation Of the shippers in the
country and the demands Of the Gin
dependent" trade Renewed appeals
to the country buyers and shippers to
keep their COWS and heifers" out Of
the Chicago market for the present
were sent out over the wires.

Zone of the most wholesome things

would act as powerful deterrent, for
