 Since short time after the anti-pass
 law vent into effect the city has been

 proven a very inconVenient one and the committee appointed by the council de- cided to try another plan for the trans portation of the men until City Attorney l.. b. Smith hears from Attorney General Garber
 MT. smith stated last night that he had taken the matter up with the attorney general with Il view of settling 1t one way or the other. He stated, however. that he had not heard from Mir. Garber. and the outcome Of the question is still
 matter of conjecture. Mir. Smith said
 that the plan adopted yesterday will ba
 followed until better 2ne can be de- vised.

 made arrangements to take care of the l policemen and hremen on our cars We l have issued an order to the conductors | to carry the policemen and firemen on 1 the cars without payment of fare be- 1 ginning tomorrow morning, and bulie-
 tin has been issued to this effect. "1nc city will be charged with this ser vice al the rate of cents per policeman or fireman and the arrangement will be continued until further notice is given.

KNOWS s HOW.
Doctor Had Been Over the Road.

When a doctor, who had been the vlc- tim of the coffee habit. cures himself by leaving off coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee, he knows something about what he is advising in that line
 A good old doctor in Ohio. who had at one time been the victim of the coffee habit. advised a woman to leave off coffee and take on Postum
 She suffered from indigestion and a weak and irregular heart and general nervous condition. She thought that it would be difficult to stop coffee abruptly She says: "I had considerable hesitancy about making the change. one reason be- ing that d friend of mine tried Postum and did not like IL. The doctor. however. gave explicitly directions that Postum must be boiled long enough to bring out the flavor and food value
 His suggestions were carried out and the delicious beverage fascinated me, so that 1 hastened to inform my friend who ha | rejected Postum. She is now using 1t regularly. after she found that It could be made to taste good.
 "I observed a short time after starting Postum, decided change in my nervous system. 1 could sleep soundly. and my brain was more active. My complexion became clear and rosy. whereas, it had been muddy and spotted before; in fact. all of the abnormal symptoms disappeared and I am now feeling perfectly we'll
 Another friend was troubled in much the same manner as l. and she has recoy- cred from her heart and stomach trouble by leaving off coffffee and using Postum Food Coffee

COMING TO ALABAMA FAIR
Attractions From Coney Island Will Be Seen on "CurVe," Which Prom ses to Be Great Feature
 Of the Fair.

The Luna show and the Society Circus. direct from Luna Park, Coney Island. New York, are the latest at fractions captured by the management of the Alabama state fair for the "Cuve." Coney Island season closes October l, and these two big produc- tions will open their next engagement in Birmingham October s. Up to date the list of fun makers totals sixteen, to say nothing of the scores of minor attractions that will fill the stalls on the opposite side of the Curve path. Among these will be "Old Plantation,' ,'' Electric Theatre "Creation" Mundy' s Animal show. the 1gorrotes, and Ben Holmes Wild West show.
 The Curve" will be 500 feet long, extending from the last building on the left of the main line down to the car riage gate. On the other side of the avenue will be stalls where everything from peanuts and confetti to barbecue and fried chicken will be for sale. The Curve" will be brilliantly lighted. and with it's three brass bands and scores of splelers and barlIers is expected to make itself conspicuous enough for the most exacting. There1l be something doing every minute along it's way.
 The Igorrotes, now appearng at the Nash vile. Tenn, fair seem to be get ting into trouble. Their Scant attire has shocked the county officials and the Philippine natives must hereafter wear something more than a. benevo- lently assimiated smile. The Nash ville Banner of Tuesday had the fol- lowing story of the affair:
 The fierce Igorrotes. the dog eating wild people from the Ph hilippine Islands were this morning arrested at the state fair grounds by Deputy Sherffs Balch, Rice. Mckinstry and Adkins and brought to town to answer to the courts for breaking the laws of the land. The charge registered against them was indecent exposure of the person.
 The men and women composed the entire village of natives which have been such a curiosity at the state fair They were bound over to await the action of the grand jury by Justice R R. Caldwell under a bond of $250 each Messrs. Joe Frank, Edgar Foster and Charles Frizzell furnished the security Deputy Sheriff Balch stated that he | would arrest the natives eevry time l they attempted to open the show as Il had been run. He said that the sher' ifs office had no wish to interfere with the fair. but that the show was positively indecent and that he Woulc not allow 1t to continue.
 When the Igorrotes req ched the jus tice's office they had on such clothes as could be collected in the hurry ait CT the arrest.

DRUGGISTS CASES
 ARE MOL CROSSED
Ignorance of Law on First Offense Will Probably Relieve Doctors From
 Prosecution.

Ignorance of the law, this time. will probably relieve the sixteen physicians who violated the Lovelady statute against prescribing more than four ounces of whisky on Sunday from prosecution this time, but never again.
 Chief Weir states that hereafter druggists and physicians will be held liable, and the records will be closely watched every Sunday.
 In police court yesterday the cases against the Gum Drug company and the Collier Drug company were mol pressed on the recommendation of City Attorney Q. C. Smith. on the ground that they were not guilty, but that the prescription clerk is responsible.
 Chief Weir has not arrested the pre- seription clerks. but will wait until after the trial of pr. Ilagler and his clerk McAllister who admit prescrib ing whisky to tho amount of twelve gallons during Sunday. Judge Feagln will try these cases today.

PLANNING PURCHASE OF TIMBER LANDS Northern Capitalists May Buy
 10000 Acres ABOUT S35O,OOO INVOLVED New York Concern Recently Purchased 40,o0o Acres of Florida Lands
 at Aggregate Outlay
 of $3oo,ooo
ABOUT S350,000 INVOLVED

Directors in syndicate of eastern and northwestern capitalists. the purpose of which is the purchase of timber land in the south. spent a portion of yesterday In Birmingham, leaving on the afternoon train for Mn.i.eomery.
 From Montgomery the capitalists go further south where the purchase of 10000 acres Of timber lands is being con sidered
 Frank Ledyard. James Francis Hughes and Ersiinie Hyde oF New York, William Pitcairn of Chicago. and F. Gerst Bacon Of Buffalo were in the party
 An eff)ft to learn whether or not the gentlemen were connected with Pope X Co. of New York, which has recently ac- qulte1 4u,coo acres of timber land in Flori- da frem the l. '. Williams Land com pany of that state, was futile.
 Speaking for the capitalsts, Frank Led yard had the following to say We are en route to Seuth Alabama, where it is probable we will close a deal for a big acreage of land on which trees are grow ing. The total acreage, I believe, is 40, . Oo0. If the transaction goes through it Will mean the expenditure of about $250,- ooo. lue SNnulcate which we represent, in case the timber land Is purchased will make immediate preparations to get all the turpertiee that the trees will give, after which tie lIe ees will be sawed into lumber .Ed disposed off
 Asked concerning the report that north ern capitalists are fast acquiring all the southern timber lands, MT Ledyard stat ed that concerning that he had nothing to say It was learned that from South Ala bama the party will visit Florida and then Louisiana, but whether other deals in those states are planned could not be learned.
 It is significant, in this connection, ths the Florida acreage acquired by Pope x Go. Of New York, from the J. P Will Hams Land company of Florida, at an expenditure of $3O0,0oO will be utilized in exactly the manner which Mir. Ledyard statel the Ala apama lands would be treat ed, in case tle purchase is made. 1 At present considerable turpentine IS | being made IF south Alabama, where the pines are ,huged excellent for that pur- pose.

FIRST OVERCOAT
 SEEN ON STREETS
OFFICIAL HARBlNGER OF FALL ARRIVED LAST NIGHT, AND THE STRAW HAT MAN WAS GIVEN A HARD CHILL.

Though the fall has been some time since officially ushered in by the wealth CT bureau and the editorial writers, it only arrived in Birmingham last night The yellow leaves have been waited to the fading grass for more than three weeks, but the official hamburger of the coming frost upon the pumpkin is the first appearance of the fall overcoat.
 Positively the nrst fall overcoat, the regulation ralncoats not to be counted, was waited down Second avenue and Nineteenth street at 10:30 o'clock last night, upon the breath of the chilly breeze. The owner was natty young business man of the city, and would have made a most imposing promenade but for the fact that he was closely followed by man in an ici cream suit, wearing straw hat
 Though the usual group about Burnett's S corner was feeling very comfortable be- fore the appearance of the o'ercoat inn mediately after the situation was taken ill, it's individual members began to shiver and make for home. The straw hat man darted into the first alley, and doubtless suffered a chill.
