der through the shaded, rk-like
grounds in which the buildings oc-
cupied by the department Of agri-
culture are located, and you may
run across curious, cage-like
structure, 10 or IL feet square and
8 or 8 feet high.
It's frame is made of light wood
en- stuff and its walls of close
meshed wire netting, through
which the rain can beat, the wind
can blow and the sunshine fall the
same as anywhere else. Inside
you will see divers jars and flower
pots, some on shelves close to the
outside of the wire net cage, some
sunken in the ground and some
otherwise disposed. In the jars
and pots you will notice that plants
and cuttings of various sorts are
growing, and that on each growing
thing there is some evidence that
it is being attacked by a destruct-

PASSENGER COACHES IN
WEST ARE VERY SCARCE

Rarely if ever has there been such
demand, proportionate to the supply
of passenger coaches, as at the pres
ent time. Never, as matter of
course, has SO many Of these cars been
available, but just at the present time
it is a grave problem for superin-
tendents of rolling stock entering
Pueblo to supply as many as needed.
This is largely due to the many
cars needed for the summer excursions
while the through tourist and regular
travel is running at top notch. As a
matter of fact the great rush to the
Northwest has something to do with
this acvitity but real, genuine pros
perity of the people all over the coun-
try and the consequent unprecedented
travel in all direction is assigned as
the principal cause. -Star-J Journal.

Cleyeland's MaYoraIiY Race

The mayoralty contest in Cleveland promises to be one of the most inter- esting political events of the year, for Congressman Burton is attempting to defeat Tom L. Johnson, who is radi- cal democrat, and who has been mayor six years The city is normally repub- ican, but Mayor Johnson has reduced trolley fares and otherwise pleased the people, and it Is no easy task on the part of anyone to defeat him before the people. Mark Hanna tried to de- ,eat him, but Johnson swept the field, md he has been mayor of Cleveland sveI since.
 MT. Burton is strong man also. He has been in Congress eighteen years, and those years of service were mostly ,pent at the head of the rivers and aarbors committee. He has ever been | firm friend of an Open Warrior, and III feel kindly towards him in this sec ion. But he Is not running so much ,n his merits as he Is as representa- i've of the Taft faction in Ohio. The Dick and Forakcr men know that his election means their defeat and ulu- nate retirement from politics. They rill not support bim beneath the sur ace. The election of Burton would ,e hailed as a Taft victory, and Fora ter and Dick are not ready to commit rolitical suicide The chances are that Tom Johnson will be his own sue sessor, and that the Taft boom will re- eive at Cleveland it first serious set ,ack.

Campaiun Fund Scandal

After Cortelyou had gathered and expended millions in the republican campaign of 1904 a scare overlook the administration and Candidate Higgins of New York, and E. H. Hartman was a fund to be expended in the next four or five days. He hurriedly secured $260.000, and the New York World makes public for the first time the names of the contributors to this par ticular slush fund, as follows:
 Edward H. Hartman ...... :. ...... 50,0O0 II. Nick. Twombly Representing
 the Vanderbilt interests1 .....,.... 25,000 Chauneey M. Depew (personal .. 25,O00 James Hagen Hyde .... -. .. q. 25,0O0 The Equitable Life Assurance So-

 The insurance subscriptions were additional to the heavier subscriptions previously made by the Big Four and already proven by testimony that can not be questioned, and the chances are that the other subscriptions were also supplementary.
 On the eve of the election when no considerable money could be expended except in the buying of votes $20o,000 was turned over by Cortelyou to Gov ernor Odell, who was managing the Higgins campaign in New York, and Cortelyou retained for other purposes S60.000. The facts and figures, says the World, came from a source that leaves no room for doubt"
 Between the testimony in the insur- ance cases and the disclosures of the World the source of republican slush funds is well established, and the source and uses of such funds should, and assuredly will, become a leading issue If the people desire to elect their own Presidents and to manage their own affairs.

Jefferson's Fee Books

Section 1864 and the two following county officers shall keep fee books, in which they shall enter every fee charged by them for every distinct service rendered." No fee can be col lected that is not first entered in fee book. In the cases of the clerks of court and registers in chancery the fee books kept by them are the prop erty of the county
 The present grand jury can call for the production before them of those fee books, and In that way they can best complete the work begun by the grand jury that sat last June when 1t called for report of all fees collected by county officials in the course of twelve months.
 The information called for last June is still demanded by public sentiment, and the grand jury now in session should take steps to render the call of its predecessor fruitful and interest ing. The law is explicit as to the keeping of fee books, and the informa- tion needed can no doubt be readily and fully obtained. Sections 1864, 1865, and 1866 of the Code-the Old Code-explain the fee book question beyond even the possibility of doubt.

 There Is much uneasiness expressed in business circles on account of legislation by some of the southern states: and it looks now that there Is to be a eessa- ton of work on some extensions and i'm provements that nave been contemplated by large corporations. My judgment is that this suspension will be only tempor- ary; for l am sure the people of the south and their representatives will soon awaken to the necessity and the impor- tance of continuing encouragement to the great industrial agencies, which have done so much for the development of the south"

Work of The Hague Conference

The approaching completion of the work of the second Hague conference calls renewed attention to what it bids fair to accomplish. When the pro- posals for decrease of ornaments were rejected the world was ready to say that the second conference would be even more futile than was the first one. but the indications now are that a good deal making for peace will be accomplished.
 Tn the first place a modified Drago doctrine promises to be adopted. The powers agree not to resort to force when contractual debts are in dispute until the debtor state refuses to arbi- trate or after arbitration refuses to conform to the award. This is not what the South American states would like, but it is nevertheless a very com fortable assurance against oppression by the nations of Europe. It also re- lieves America of part of the burden of the Monroe doctrine.
 Besides defining the rights and duties of neutrals permanent court of arbitration is to be established at The Hague, and the allotting of the fifteen members of the court will no doubt be satisfactorily made. A per manent international court of arbitra- tion holds out to all nations an honor ble method of settling all disputes and 1t will undoubtedly promote peace throughout the world
 The founding of a permanent court and the adoption of modified Drago doctrine are two victories that will assuredly make for peace. The two measures will give the conference secure place in history. The world will be the better for it.

 Tn all my experience l have never seen poultry so high as it is today in Birmingham and there is much encourage ment in the situation, Co the farmer and the gardner It presents to them an op- portunity for immense money making, at small expense. I have often wondered why a farmer could not produce 1000 chickens for market as easily as he can 100; and 1000 first class, full grown young chickens now would mean at least $500 to s4Oo.4

 'St. Bernard is growing more and more popular every year" said Father Law renee. "and the new term will probably mark a record. The student body is made up largely from the southern states, but many states outside of the south are rep resented. Aside from the Benedictine col legiate course and discipline, St. Bernard offers exceptional advantages In the way of health. Cullman county is, strictly speaking. health resort"

REVIVAL GOES TO
 FIRST METHODIST

At the meeting of the Rirminghaoo oo Methodist Preachers association yes.ei- day morning it was decided that an ingi- tation be extended by the body to all mln- isters and Christians of all denominations of the city to unite in the revival meet ing being conducted by Dr. J. B. CEl- pepper. It was the sense of the assoela- ton that the meeting be made one of most far-reaching results ever held in Birmingham, and the resolutions adopted were looking to this end.
 The meetings have been hold in wesley chapel, but on Sunday night will be transferred to the First Methodist church, where they will be continued The reso- lution regarding the absorption of the meetings into a union revival was made by the Rev. J, o. Hanes, chairman of the committee on arrangements.
 Three services will be held each day. At the afternoon services, beginning at o'clock, the young people will be ad- dressed by the Rev. Bert Culpepper. sor of Dr. J. B. Culpepper. Since the be- ginning of the services the congregations have been the largest in the history of the church.
 Quite a successful meeting was held last night, when the Rev. Bert Culpepper preached on "The Blinding Nature of Sim Many pastors and house full of people were there.

Burnett Discusses Ordinance.

Alderman R. D. Burnett, indiscussng g the afternoon, said last night:
 Under the ordinance proposed by tn Q Board of Aldermen today we will in crease the revenues of the city many fold, and afford complete police pro lection and absolute protection against an infringement of law by the liquor traffic and otherwise.
 We have made the license four-fold in certain territory and double in other sections. This means that a policeman can and must stand within whitle call of every saloon every hour 1t Is open, and that the very moment it violates a law its high license shall be revoked and forfeited; that there can be no sale to minors, nor to men under the influence of liquor. It means that there shall be no Infringement against personal rights. and perfect encouragement to blind tigers and ab- solutely no dirty work. As a large tax payer an done deeply interested in the business intersts of Birmingham, with my family here dwelling, and my all staked on the present and future of this city my judgment is that the propo- sition is one that should meet with proper approval and that it Is best for Birmin gham."
