Place Badly Damaged Early
 Yesterday Morning
NEIGHBORS ALSO SUFFER
Two Clothing Stores on Second Ave. nue Arc Slight Losers by Water. Losses Are Covered by
 Insurance.

Fire and fire water" became mixed yesterday morning, and as everyone does under such circumstances, w. R. Me Ways saloon, 222o Second avenue. went up in the air. The loss, according to conservative estimates of Chief Bennett, will amount to about sS0o0.
 According to Mir. McVay there was s4o- 900 worth of whisky in the building, but luckily very little of 1t was destroyed. However, for while wine ran through sheets of flame a dazzling stream.
 The fire started at o'clock, and was the worst of the month. The alarm was turned In by the policeman from box "A, and all of the fire stations responded quickly. However, when the first arrived 1t was found that the flames enveloped the building and were bursting high into the air. They had begun somewhere about the center of the first floor, gone through the skylight and with this strong draft soon shot high in the air The lire had also caught near the front and made pretty display.
 Hose was trained on the building from all directions, ladders placed on the walls, and the hose carried to the Interior, the truck raised and water played from the top, and within fifteen minutes the con Migration was under control The sky light and the roof on the rear end of the building were all that were destroyed. While the floors and the walls were not badly damaged, a good deal of whisky was spilled from the barrels before they were cleared out.
 The firemen had some difficulty in fight ing on account of the many divisions on the second floor. They were careful in saving adjacent property, and the losses on all sides were not as much as at frs. expected.
 H. Abramson, on the east, at 2l22 Sec ond avenue, suffered a slight loss to stock from water. The water ran across the ioists which were the same in both build ines, and fell on the clothing. Chief Ben nett estimates the loss at about $500, while MT. Abramson thinks it will amount to $500. The stock of the Goldstein Bros on the west was damaged to the same ex- tent. and all was covered by insurance The saloon building was damaged about 5000. while the stock loss was about $6OOO
 No one knows how the fire started, as the saloon is supposed to be closed at thai early hour. MT. McVay cannot advanc' any possible supposition.

POULTRY AND FARM
 EXHIBITS PLANNED
SECRETARY BARNES IS RAPIDLY GETTING STATE FAIR CATA- LoGUE IN SHAPE-PREMIUMS WILL BE LARGER THAN USUAL.

Secretary Barnes of the Alabama Fair association is sending out circulars to the farmers throughout the state in regard to the poultry and farm exhibits. Between five and ten thousand of these circulars will be sent out, and the results of this early advertising are expected to be great. The work of arranging the data for the catalogue is nearing completion The catalogue will be open until the first of July for advertisements, but will go to the printer on that date. It will be re- ceived from the printer by July 15, on which date MT. Barnes will begin sending them out The catalogue will be made up in very attractive form and will be unusually interesting.
 The premiums to be given this year will be larger than usual and this fact will be we'll advertised throughout the state. As result of this 1t is expected that large farmers and raisers all over the south will have entries.
 There will be a meeting Tuesday at noon of the secrtaries of the different as- sociations comprising the Southern Fair circuit for the purpose of arranging for free attractions and other amusements. There will also be representatives of sew eral of the large amusement companies in attendance and a number of contracts S'il in all probability be signed up.

A UNIVERSAL FOOD. Following Natures Footsteps.

"I have a boy years old. weighing forty pounds and in perfect health who has been raised on GrapeNuts and milk.
 This is an ideal food and evidently fur nishes the clements necessary for baby as well as for adults. We have used GrapeNuts in large quantities and great ly to our advantage"
 One advantage about Grape-Nuts Food Is that 1t is pre-digested in the process of manufacture: that is, the starch con tained in the wheat and barley is trans formed into grape-sugar by exactly the same method as this process is carried out in the human body; that Is, by the use of moisture and long exposure 10 moderate warmth. which grows the dias- tase in the grains and makes the remark able change from starch to grape-sugar.
 Therefore. the most delicate stomach can handle GrapeNuts and the food Is quickly absorbed into the blood and tis- sue, certain parts of 1t going directly to building and nourishng the brain and nerve centers. There's a Reason"

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Biiou.

"A Runaway Match,' which comes to the Bijou theatre tonight for a weeks engagement, has a tangible plot, which Is woven around the double elopement of a widower and her daughter, each un- known to the other, until they meet face to face at a rural hotel, to which they have fled to have the nuptial knots tied Until the final fall of the curtain there is B rapid fire of wit and merriment.
 The presentation of the comedy Is by a company of merit headed by Bob Harty and Johnny Johnson, who were for number of years comedians of the Bijou Musical Comedy company. The staging of the play Is good and the costumes bright and pretty. There is girl element about the play which Is more than ordi- narily attractive, and the musical num- bers are catchy and tuneful.

MUNICIPAL BILL
 ALMOST READY
CRAWFORD TALKS OF PRESSING NEED FOR UNIFORM PLAN FOR REGULATION OF MUNICIPAL ITIEs OF STATE.

Since 1901 the Alabama legislature has not had the power to grant charter to a city or town in the state and all cities or towns incorporated within the past six years are running without a char ter," said Representative Jack Cranford of Jasper at the Hotel Florence last night. That is why the legislative com- mittee, of which I am a member, is now hard at work on a general municipal bill which will very probably become a law when the legislature reconvenes in July.
 Ut Is a tremendous job to prepare a bill whose provisions will cover all the varied requirements of the 200 cities and towns of this state and we have had tough proposition before us, but the greatest difficulties have been overcome and We are now rounding the bill into shape. When finished this charter or constitution will clearly define the rights and powers to be conferred upon all municipalities, the most important of which is an election law which will cause all elections in the state to be held at the same tlme-I mean by that the mu- nicipal elections. Under the present sys- tenn elections are held at all times of the year, which causes a great deal of worry in some counties. As an example, you have right here in Jefferson county a dozen municipalities in close touch with each other and as soon as one election is over in one town another takes place in oa InIp fhn f.R,-v oil of political campaigns is felt throughout all most the entire year"
 NAT. Cranford said he had talked with Representative Jere King about the Greater Birmingham bill and thought it was a good proposition and should meet with favor.

Throws Landlady Out of Window.

Columbus. Ga, June 16.-cSpecial J. Rather sensational are the charges against Elmer Aiken, Q young man against whom a case has been docketed by the police. and which will be investi- gated by the recorder tomorrow. It is alleged that he engaged in an alteration with his landlady, Mrs. Gatewood, on East Highlands, during which he struck her, in the mouth, knocking out tooth, and then threw the lady out of a window. From reports. she was jared by the fall but not seriously hurt.
 Mrs. Gatewood held the young mans belongings until he paid his board bill, and when he attempted to get them struggle ensued.

JUNE RATES ARE
 SCARCE THIS YEAR
RAILROADS ARE TOO BUSY FIGHT. ING NEW INNOCENT A MILE RATES TO GRANT SPECIAL SUM. MFR TRIPS.

It has been noticeable in Birmingham that the railroads are slow this sum mer in Issuing notices of cheap rates of travel and a great many of the usual low summer rates have been entirely cut out All the railroads have in the past Issued notices about June 1 of special summer rates which are usually on a basis of one and on-third fares for the round trip, but this year the railroads have failed to bring out the June special rates and the only inducements offered for summer travel are the occasional low rates to cer- tain points.
 The continued efforts of state legisla- lures to pass laws reducing railroad fares to two cents per mile have put the rail- roads on the defensive and many of them have cut off certain low rates which have been put on regularly every year. and the public Is debarred from taking trips which 1t has been the custom to make at regular seasons.
 It is announced from Chicago that west ern railroad presidents have decided at conference to contest the two-cent pas senger laws in five states-Illlnols, Ne braslka Missouri, Iowa and Arkansas, and the railroad officials have further agreed not to grant any reduced rates for any occasion until the cases shall have been concluded. By this action the railroads in these states have cut off the half-rate privilege formerly allowed to clergymen, charity workers, state conventions, sis ters of charity and all who have hereto fore enjoyed cheap rates, all of which must now pay the new legal rate in these states of two cents per mile.
 While a traveller may still get low rate to some point during the summer it will be only occasionally and the gen. eral low rates formerly issued at this sea- son of the year are thing of the past.
