CANNOT DECIDE ON
 CHURCH LOCATION
Fountain Heights Baptists Undecided On Moving Church North
 or West.

The question as to whether they shall move north or west is causing consider able discussion in the Fountain Heights Baptist church and Is expected to be settled at o'clock Sunday afternoon, when a business meeting of the church members will be held.
 The cause of all this commotion Is the fact that tho congregation has outgrown the present edifice. Part of the member ship wish to combine with the North Highlands Baptist church and erect handsome structure further out on Foun- tain Heights. The other part wish to build a church out in Smithhed. Opn- ion is about evenly divided and the prob- lem as to what they shall do is fast as- suming tangled appearance
 The entire congregation Is wrought up over the question. The young ladies are particularly active In the matter and their constant lobbying in behalf of their re- spective sides has kept the question warm.
 At present there is no official pastor, the former pastor having resigned several weeks ago, and the present one only be- ing appointed temporarily. The question will no doubt be settled definitely at the meeting Sunday afternoon.

ANOTHER WEAPON
 TO FIGHT THE DUST
New Sprinkler Is Here, But Mules ob- ject to Pulling the Water
 Wagon.

Although five water sprinklers were kept busy at work in Birmingham water ing the streets for eighteen hours day this number has been found inadequate to keep the dust down. Therefore another sprinkler has been secured and will be put into operation within the next few days, as soon as team to pull 1t can be secured.
 While the mere matter of purchasing a pair of mules would not be regarded as anything out of the ordinary, the buying of this particular pair of mules is caus- ing the city officials deal of trouble, and the sanitary officers are up in the air about 1t. The cause of all this Is the fact that the mules of Birmingham have an aversion to being hitched to a water wagon, and it was only after good deal of trouble and worry that the teams were secured to pull the wagons already in use.
 Another source of trouble is the secur- ing of drivers who won't drink. The driv- CTS are constantly. swinging the bottle while driving the sprinklers and thus worry the public by falling off the water wagon, '.

USES HIS PICK ID KILL THE MARSHAL Momaine Meets Horrible Death
 at Carbon Hill NEGRO MAKES HIS ESCAPE The Prisoner Was Being Locked Up for the Night, When He Struck
 the Town Marshal With
 Pick.
NEGRO MAKES HIS ESCAPE

A long distance telephone message to Chief Wier from Chief of Police Henry of Carbon Hill was received last night about S3O o'clock bearing the information that Marshal Pas Romaine of Carbon Hill was killed yesterday afternoon about o'clock by one of the men of the chaingang which he had been working on the streets during the day. The black assailant was known by the name of Lewis Arm strong and was serving a sentence inn posed for carrying concealed weapons.
 The particulars of the murder of Mar shal Romaine disclose one of the most horrible crimes which has occurred in a number of years The marshal had been working the chaingang, which he had In his charge on the streets of Car bon Hill all day, and yesterday after noon about o'clock he took the pris house for the night.
 Armstrong was the last of the gang of prisoners to enter the jail, and 1t is understood that just before reaching the door he turned on Marshal Ro- maine, raised the pick which he held In his hands, with which he had been working during the day, and struck the white man a blow on the head which crushed hiB skull before he was able to draw his pistol to prevent the ac- tion.
 The negro muderer then took Mir Romaine's pistol from the dying body and made off through sequestered part of the town, and then through the woods to his liberty.
 Marshal Fomaines body was not found until, 1t is supposed, about an hour after the death dealing blow was infiicteds- One of the other officers around the jail found the dead man about o'clock. The head had been literally crushed by the blow and death must have been almost instantaneous.
 The message to Chief Wier intimates that there was considerable feeling aroused by the brutal murder of MT. Romaine, who was very we'll known in Carbon Hill, and although search was instituted for the negro he had too long a start ahead of the officers, and Is still at large. It Is believed that he came, or will come to Birmingham. A description of the negro has been furnish ed the police and they are on the alert.
 ] According to the message to the chief of police here Marshal Pas Romaine has a sister in Amory, Miss, and one l at Dora, Ala. Their names. however, were not given.

TROUBLE IN NEeRGo oDoE.
Dispute Carried to Higher Branch Of

The Grand United Order of Colored Odd Fellows of the State of Alabama has been torn with dssension for the past few months. This dissension was caused by two of the members usurpng two offices contrary to the election. The legally elected officers it Is said are C. r. John- son. district grand master, and R. T. Jackson, endowment secretary. Two of the candidates declared that they wefo the officers elected and claimed the posi- tions These candidates are named Howze md Knox.
 The matter has gone on this way for several months. being finally brought be- fore the meeting of the subcommittee of the supreme council of the order at Phila- delphia. The local order received a tele- gram yesterday from C. r. Johnson, dis trict grand master which Is as follows:

TAKE A RECORD. See How Many Friends Are Hurt By
 Coffee.

It would be just as reasonable for a temperance advocate to drink little fi- luted whisky as to drink coffee for ona is as truly an ntoxicant as the other. and persistence in the use of coffee brings on d variety of chronic diseases, notorious among which are dyspepsia, heart palpi- tation (ultlmately heart failure). frequent ly constipation, kidney troubles. many cases of weak eyes and trembling con- dition of the nerves.
 These are only few of the great va- rietes of diseases which come from an unbalanced nervous system. caused by the persistent daily use of the drug caf- fene, which is the active principle of cof- fee. Another bit of prima facie evidence about coffee Is that the victims to the habit find great difficulty in giving 1t up.
 They will solemny pledge to themselves day after day that they will abandon the use of it when they know that It is short ening their days. but morning after morn- ing they fail until they grow to despise themselves for their lack of self control.
 Anyone interested in this subject would be greatly surprised to make a systematic Inquiry among prominent brain workers There are hundreds e thou sands of our most prominent people who have abandoned coffee altogether and are using Postum Food Coffee in It's place. and for the most excellent reasons in the world. Many of them testify that III health. nervous prostration. and conse- auent inability to work has in times past pushed them back and out of their proper standing in life. which ~hey have been able to regain by the use of good health. strong nerves and great vitality, since coffee has been thrown out and Postum put in It's place. There's a Reason. Read, "The Road to Wellville," In pkgs.. 1t has been called "a health classic by some physicians

CHECKER GERM IS
 ABROAD IN LAND
EPIDEMIC STRIKES BIRMINGHAM FULL FORCE, AND SCIENTIST IN THE FEDERAL BUILDING MAKES VALUABLE DISCOVERY.

Two epldemcs have struck Birmng- ham-typhoid and checkers. While the city officials are combining their efforts toward the suppressing of the typhoid germ, nothing is being done to stop the other. The playing of checkers Is be- coming exceedingly prevalent, and sci entists have at last discovered that 1t Is a germ disease.
 Some few scientists have claimed for a long time that it was a germ dis ease, but their brother scientists have only laughed at them. Professor Jumping king, however was not feazed by this, but looked upon himself as a martyr to his faith. On last Monday afternoon while at work In his laboratory on the third floor of the federal building he be- gan yelling at the top of his voice. This, of course, caused everyone In the build ing to rush to him. There he was jump Ing up and down and 1t was found necos- sary to pour the contents of six water coolers on him before he could be quieted.
 When he at last regalned his com posture he announced that he had perfect proof of his claim that the playing of checkers was a germ disease. and pro- ceeded to prove 1t to his awe-struck audience The description of the proof he displayed is entirely too technical and too long to be given in these columns, bu. he proved to the satisfaction of every one that each checker was covered with 926 542, ,SO1 bacteria Every time a person touched checkers, ,25e7s2 of these bacte- ria cling to his or her finger. Everyone immediately became infected and every thing else was forgotten in the desire to play game. One man has absorbed so many of these bacteria that 1t is not be- leved 1t is possible to cure him. The ty- phoid simply runs it's course, but this ge.s V orse every day.

FAIR CATALOGUE
 IS ALMOST READY
WILL BE SENT TO ANY ONE MAX ING APPLICATION-F FOR BIG SHOW HAVE ALL BEEN AGREED UPON.

The reading of the proofs for the state fair catalogue was completed yesterday and the catalogue will be out within a very few days. The association will be glad to mail anyone a copy of the cata- logue who desires it and all that will be necessary to secure one will be to address George T. Barnes, secretary Alabama State Fair association Birmingham, Ala
 The catalogue will not only be complete In every particular but the design ia very attractive. It is of very neat size and well gotten up There will be several thOu- sand of them printed and they will be scattered broadcast oyer the state. Many peopie in all parts of the state have al- ready sent in their application but there will be sufficient for all who want one.
 Applications are pouring in by every mall for space in the exhibit halls and stalls. The live stock feature is looming up large and indications point 10 a splen- did exhibition of thls kind. Not only will the large stock raisers in Alabama send their prize cows. bulls and hogs, but live stock ralsers all over the south have sig nined their intention of competing. spe- cial Inducements are DelnB oIeleu III tHe shape of extra large premiums.
 The racing entries are about completed, and q number of fast horses will be brought here In addition to the regular strings which follow the fair circuit every year q number of the greatest trotters, pacer8 and runners on the American turf will be brought south for the winter, and the owners have said they would be glad to bring them to Birmingham if the fair association would make 1t interesting enough for them. The association this year is anything but stingy and these owners are being communicated with In regard to just what they mean by inter estlng. There Is but little doubt that they will be brought here.
 The racing ostrich. which Is to be ex- hIbited daily, both in race of three heats against a fast pony and in an os- trlch bare back riding exhibition. has stirrel up a deal of interest, and the fgir headquarters is beseged by persons want ing to know about It. This feature was only secured by the putting up of large amount of coin of the realm.
 The free attractions and midway ar engagements are almost completed with the exception Of one or two more free at fractions, which MT Barnes Is endeavor- ing to land. Altogether the fair this year promises to be q very good one.

NOVEL PLAN FOR
 RAISING THE MONEY
SCHOOL CHILDREN AND LADIES OF THE CITY WILL BE MOST ACTIVE IN FURTHERlNG WORK CF PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The hot weather is naturally depressing, but the public library officers have not forgotten their work. The project is quietly but surely being pushed along, and while little will be done for the next month or two, the matter will be taken 5p very actively along about the middle of September
 A big mass meeting will very probably be held about that time, and the active campaign for the securing of subscriptions for the construction of the library build Ing will be begun The manner in which this campaign will be prosecuted will. 1t Is claimed, be not only very unique out will be productive of results.
 A house to house canvass as well as an office to office, shop to shop. store to store and warehouse to warehouse can vass will be the order of things. Tie school children will be especially active canvassers. Il is claimed that when chil- dren all the way from C years to Is start in 10 collecting money for an institution of ting kind their pleas prove irresistible. The ladies, however, will prove the great est canvassers, 1t is believed. They will be started out by the hundred and num- Der have already announced their willing ness to take part In the canvass.
 The effort will be made to arouse public sentiment to such a pitch that 1t will not he necessary to beg a person to contribute to the construction of such a needed in stitut;on The officers are hard at work and can see nothing but success in front of them.
