Intense interest cen- ters in this event, but no one will knew until the officfal announcement is made at the grand stand today who the win ner is.
 Along The Curve preparations have been made for the entertainment Of the little folks. and all of the shows will put ou special rates for the children. Tn consideration of the day the Fair Association has reduced the gate fee for children to Is cents. and it is ex- peetsd that 10000 ruddy-faced Mont gomery boys and girls will enter the gates to witness the sights.
 There is plenty of entertainment at the fair for the little folks. Perhaps the exhihit of greatest interest to them will be the poultry exhibit. Here they can see chickens. ducks, geese, guineas and turkeys in such abundance that even the smallest one of the little wis., tsfors will be entertained.

 Upon instructions from the solicitor Sheriff Hood yesterday ordered the paddle games" and cloth layouts to discontinue business.

 Big Poultry Exhibit.
 Great interest was manifested yes- terday in the poultry exhibit, and this is, perhaps. the most satisfactory dis play ct the Fair. The judging has been finished. but the awards will not be made until this afternoon.
 The list of exhibitors is as follows: J. l.. Alley. Midway; Mrs. R. M. Alexander, Prattville: Charles Alley. Midway; B. l.. Baker. Joppa; O. H.. Dozier, Marion; Mrs. w. H. Ewin. Springhill. Tenn; Fillmore Glenn, Mont- gomery; A. P. Gordon, Montgomery, and Dr. J. F. Haley, Marion; White and Deener, Whitewater, Wis; Hog sensens Poultry Yard, Chunchulla. Ala; Willie LeGrand, Montgomery; A. e. Minter, Montgomery; Mrs. J. R. Mo Nair, Ozark; Charles Burns, Tilsonburg, Canada: A. c. Oliver. Horsehead, N. Y.; Charles R. Russell, Union Springs; William Stickney. Montgomery; R. D. L. Till. Georgiana; J. B. Trammell. Five Points; Robert vass. Montgomery; S. E Wurst, Illeria, Ohio.
 The number of birds on exhibition is something over 5000, and the com petition In ali of the classes was keen. H. w. Blanks is superintendent of the exhibit, and judged the different classes.
 The best class of birds ever shown in the South is here, some of them being valued at over s100 each. The Rhode Island reds are exceptionally fine, with the largest classes of orpingtons and Rocks. They contain birds that have won first prizes all over the country.
 A pair of Touiose geese on exhibit are the finest ever exhibited in this country. They weigh fifty-seven pounds and are valued at s2V0. They are such geese as are only raised once in lifetime.
 One of the special features of the poultry show Is the phsasents. There is special interest in these from the fact that Alabama's forests are to be stocked with them. One of the pair shown here is priceless, being the finest ever exhibited in this country. The prizes in the bread baking con test in the Woman's Department yes terday were awarded as follows: First. Mrs. O. c. Maner. South Me- Donough Street; second, Miss Barbara Bruce, Woodley Road; third. Mrs. S. T. Crittenden, 301 Adama Avenue.

TO VISIT ISTHMUS
APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE OF
 CONGRESS TO VIEW CANAL.
Chairman Tawney Gives Out Interview on Cost of Panama Canal and Construction PrOgress--AIa-
 bnmiMm in Party.

New York. Oct. 31.--Representative James 4. Tawney, of Minnesota, Chair
 man of the Committee on Appropria- tions of the House of Representatives. will leave New York on the steamship Colon for the Isthmus. to make per- sonal inquiry into the present and pros pective monetary needs of the Panama Canal.
 MT. Tawney will be accompanied by these members of the committee: Gen. H. H. Bingham of Pennsylvania, Washington Kardner of Michigan, Wal
 ter L. Smith of Iowa. Joseph Graf of Illinois; Martin B. Madden of Illinois, Gen. Warren Keller of Ohio. L. F. Liv-
 ingston of Georgia, A. S. Burleson of Texas, J. W. Brundidge of Arkansas and George w. Taylor of Alabama.
 We are making the trip" said MT. Tawney. mainly because the Isthmian Canal Commission has asked for an appropriation of $S2.000O00 with which to continue it's work for the fiscal year beginning July l, 1908. Congress fixed arbitrarily the cost of the canal at
 $Ss. .000, 900. Thus far Congress has au- thorized the issuance of canal bonds
 to the extent of $77,000O.00. If we find that the estimate of $32.000.000 made by the commission for continuing it's work of construction through the next fiscal year is correct. we shall unhes- itatingly grant 1t. If we need more than that sum, then the actual cost of the canal to the 1st of July, 1909.
 will be s105, 900 900. or $sS 100000 short of the original cost of construction, exclusive of the $4O.0O0,000 we paid to the new Panama Canal Company for i it's property and for franchise rights | and $5,O00.O 900 to the Republic of Co., lumbia for our franchise.
 "At the present rate of construction 1 the work ought to be completed by January l. 1914. but in order to be on | the safe side I will give a years lee
 way, and fix the date of completion at | the 1st of January. 1915. I also esti- ! mated that the total cost of construc- | ton will be not less than S25O,OOO.0OO l thus making the canal cost us in ac- | tuaI cash 300.000.000."

 There is so much Rheumatism here now that the following advice by a eminent auth ority will be highly ap- preciated by those who suffer.
 Get from any good pharmacy one half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion. one ounce Compound Kargon. three ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa- riiia. Shake these we'll in bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty Of good water.
 It is claimed that there are few vic. tims of this dread and tortorous dis- ease who will fail to find ready relief in this simple home made mixture, and in m ,st cases permanent cure Is the result.
 This simple recipe is said to strengthen and cleanse the eltmina- tive tissues of the Kidneys so that they can filter and strain from the blood and system the poisons. acids and waste matter, which causes not only Rheumatism, but numerous other dls- cases. Every man or woman here who feels that their kidneys are not healthy and active, or who suffers rom any urinary trouble whatever, should not hesitate to make up this mixture. as 1t is certain to do much good, and may save you from much misery and suf- fering after while.

MONEY FOR MOBILE.
Government Will Increase It's Deposit
 to 82OO.OOO.

Mobile, Oct 3f.-(Special. )-That the Government will help the South dur ing the present financial stress was demonstrated this afternoon when the Bank of Mobile. the local Government 6epositary, was authorized by the Treasury Department to increase its deposit to $200.000.
 Of this amount the bank now has on hand S6S,590, and the telegram re- ceived from Comptroller of the Cur rency Ridgely states that the balance of deposit will be ready within a short time.
 This extra $130.000 will dispel any possible local money scare and as this is a concerted movement to all the de- positaries in the South money condi- lions will loosen greatly.

Three Indians called Wednesday and
asked to bathe in the old tub where
their ancestors were cured twenty
five years ago.
Mr.. Worth, of Alliance, who came
here on horseback for ten days
course of baths, returned home fully
determined to keep on growing hand
some.
We are sorry to lose Mr.. and Mrs.
Arnold of Gretna, Neb., who we're sud.
denly called home by urgent business
matters. However the Minnekahta

body was evidently we'll pleased with
the play.
Hot Springs people have been shown
that we have good dramatic talent here,
which only needs someone of Mr.
Leaming's experience aud ability to
develop it. Each character was we'll
taken and each entitled to special
mention. Miss Emma Oak was select.

SOUTHERN HILLS EXPOSITION.
An Exhibition of Produce Suggested
to be Held at Hot Springs.

TO De f16lQ dG HUI 0pIluSSs
DIR. Jennings has suggested to the
STAR that it would be an excellent idea
for the Southern Hills counties to hold
an exposition in September, placing on
exhibition the agricultural products.
Let it be held at Hot Springs and offer
generous prizes to be competed for.
b The idea is good one. The oldest
Settlers are even surprised at what
this section of country produces, and
to have big exhibition of everything
would be a splendid thing for those
who produce, as we'll as for the town
and country. A meeting should be
called if this suggestion is to be carried
out, and committees appointei to
arrange the details and raise the funds
for the event. Other contests in sports
could be arranged to entertain the
people, aside from the competition in
agricultural products. Somebody
should take the initiative in this and
get the matter started.
