CHILDREN LOST
 IN CIRCUS CROWD
W. A. DISEkER REPORTS THAT HIS FOUR oFFSPRINGS ARE MJssING-F. C. FINCH's SWEAR OLD FREDDIE ALSO MISSING.

The greatest calamity of the show day was reported to police headquarters at o'clock last night. W. A. Diseker or I,eWisburg. a father who was mentally suffering. declared that he had lost all four of his children at the show ground, and all of his searching had failed to discover them.
 The oldest is Nettie Diseker, girl or IA years, and the youngest is May, aged 4 The other two are James, aged II years, and Martin, aged 5.
 MT. Diseker said that he gave his money to a man who went with the children through the crowd to buy tickets. In some manner the little ones became lost in the crowd, and have not been seen since.
 They had no money, and knew nothing of the big city, having seldom visited Birmingham during their short lives. Th9 parent is still searching everywhere, anf the whole police force is on the looko6t It is not believed that they were carried away, sbut it is hoped that they are being cared for by some kind person.
 F. c. Finch also reported that he had lost his son, Freddie, aged II years, at the show yesterday afternoon. The child had not been found up to a late hour.

 GREAT INTEREST

The course of moral lectures to be given by Edward Howard Griggs at the High School auditorium this week, under the auspices of the High school teachers, will be perhaps the most interesting literary event that Birmingham will have this sea- son.

TENDER STORY OF HOW A NE GRo's soLlcITuDE FOR HIS DOG MADE HIM FORGET A PAINFUL WOUND.

One of the most pitiable sights imag- inable presented itself at the county jail last night. A very simple negro of about middle age put in his appearance with badly cut shoulder, a memento of a duel over 50 cents, of which he claims another negro was trying to rob him. The negro had had the wound dressed and was at the sheriffs office for the purpose Of swearing out a warrant for his assaii- ant. At his heels followed a little white and black spotted dog of doubtful pedi- gree.
 The negro sat down on the stone steps at the jail to tell his tale. He had been bleeding profusely, and was apparently in agony. The little dog took seat on the step beside him and was unwilling TOT anyone to approach his master. While the unfortunate darkey was moaning and de- ploring his condition, the little spotted dog licked his black hand and was equally as deeply concerned
 Finally everybody in the warden's office buckled down to their duties and left the negro and his dog sitting on the stone steps without. The negro started talk ing to his pet, and the following sympa-

Only Fate Prebented
 Grade Crossing Disaster
REPETITION OF THE EAST LAKE CATASTROPHE IS THREATENED WHEN SEABoARD TRAIN COL LlpED WITH A STREET GAR.

A serious accident was narrowly averted yesterday afternoon about 5:3o ,, o'clock at the crossing of the North Bir- mingham street car line and the Sea board track at Tenth avenue and Twenty sixth street. A switch engine, running at a moderate rate of spede, backed into a heavily laden trailer,s but without fatal injury to any of the passengers. The trailer was struck near the rear end and the negro passengers inside were considerably jolted. While several were removed to the hospitals, it is not be- leved that any of the injuries sustained were of very serious nature.
 C. H. Baker, young man about 20 or 26 years of age, was riding on the draw head of the engine, but jumped just be- fore the crash came and escaped with a slight internal injury. He was removed to St. vincentfs hospital but it is not be- Iieved that his confinement will be lengthy. Baker was employed as a switchman by the Seaboard.
 The cause of the collision is believed to have been a misunderstanding of signals on the part of both the motorman ,and the engineer. It seems that there was a switchman standing at the crossing when the North Birmingham car ap- preached. He gave a signal to the engi- neer on the locomotive, which was taken for the "back-up'' signal It seems that the motorman on the street car took this signal to mean that the track was clear. He started across and was unable to clear the crossing before the engine struck the trailer.
 The accident occurred just after dark, and the waving of the switchman's lam tern is apparently what caused the col lision There was a great deal of excite ment over the city shortly after the acci- dent occurred. Exaggerated reports were spread rapidly, it being widely talked that anywhere from three to ten people had been killed.
 The collision would doubt have proved much more serious had it not been for the fact that the engine was running slowly.

FARMERS AGREE
 ON COTTON PRICES
WILL NOT SELL 1907 CHEAPER THAN IS CENT ARE NOT AFRAID OF CURRENT FINAN- GAL STRESS.

A meeting was held in the Commercial club rooms yesterday morning of the Farmers union of Jefferson county, at which the farmers passed a resolution de- claring firmly for 15-cent cotton. Coun- ty president pr. J. B. Vines and Coun- ty Secretary J. R. Reeves presided, while a large number of members were present.
 State Business Agent J. F. Barker was the chief talker, and in his speech urged that a firm stand be made for the 15-cent price MT. Barker went straight to the point in his address and in part said::
 '"The time has come vnen the farmers have just got to act. You farmers must make up your mind to patch your old clothes, halfsole your old shoes, eat pork. peas and turnip greens and hold on to your cotton like grim death. Texas spinner has remarked that he can get along without your crop until March. Can't you make out without his cotton goods until March, too? Four years ago the Farmers union, with only 15O,000 pledges and with the price down to 6 cents, and in the face of the largest crop ever grown, fought the battle and forced the price back to 1Ota cents in July. Can't we force it to 15 cents now with the shortest crop In many years and with the millions of pledges?
 Don't be alarmed by the financial panic. The southern bankers and south ern merchants foresaw that tremendous conflict would come this year between the farmers and the spinners. They for tified themselves by going north and DOT rowing every dollar they could They have 1t now and they are too wise to open their vaults and letethis money go back north. Hold your cotton and stick to your price, and whatever you do keep the title to your cotton in your own name"
 The resolution committee, composed of E. J. Cook, w. M. Powell and D. w. Howton. drew up a resolution, which was adopted unanimously. that the farm CTS will not sell the 1907 crop for less than 15 cents.
