NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
Healing Medication That Is Breathed,
 Giving Quick Relief.

It seems just as ridiculous to put medicine into the stomach to cure cold in the head or lungs as 1t does to 20 out in the rain if we want to keep dry.
 The fact that many people right here in Montgomery cough and hawk and snuff1e for days and weeks after they treat a cold with the usual stomach dosing, shows how valueless are the ordinary cough and cold cures.
 The right way to cure cold in the head or a cough and irritation in the throat and lungs. Is by breathing Hyomei's medicated air. Put a few drops of Hyomel in the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit and breathe this healing air for few times and immediate relief will be noted. The medication goes right to the spot where the disease germs are located and renders them harmless in the future,
 At the same time the soothing and healing effects of Hyomei on the ir- ritated mucous membrane give quick relief, and the cough or cold is broken up
 The best evidence of the great value of Hyomei in curing coughs. colds and all bronchial troubles is the fact E, G. Fowler gives an absolute guaran- tee with every outfit he sells that # it does not give satisfaction. the mon ey will be refunded.
 A complete Hyomei outfit, consisting of a bottle of Hyomei, the inhaler and medicine dropper costs but $1, while extra bottles of Hyomei, if needed, can be obtained for only 60e.

CONCRETE CROSS TIES MAY
 SOLVE 4 RAILROAD PROBLEM.

wetumpka. Jan. 17.--(special.l- When the engineer of the southbound through passenger train No. of the Montgomery and Birmingham division of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road approached Elmore Station the other morninR he say squad of sec tion hands ssen out of-the way of his fast moviHN fain. He little knew that they f&& just placed new ties un- der the rails and that he was about to drive his train over 8 new form of cross tie which bids fair to reiegate the timber tie to the past and institute a new form of railroad building through out the country.
 This was a fact, and. if the future foretells what the trial test seems to indicate this same engineer may con- gratulate himself as being the first one to drive his engine over the new concrete cross tie' which in few years bids fair to underlie the rails on all the railroad tracks of the eoun- try.
 W. A. Bryant. a citizen of Wetunp- ka. sometime ago invented and pat ented @ reinforced concrete cross tie. and interested the Louisville and Nashville Railroad officials to the ex- tent of making test of this tie. Jan uary IS was the day set for making this test, and the fine ties which had

would have to persuade the Governor not to veto the measure.
 The bill, as originally drawn and in- troduced by Senator Lusk, embodies the text of the anti-pass feature of the rate bill. passed by Congress. Under the interpretation placed upon the bill by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, newspapers could not enter into a contract with railroad to sell space in their columns and be paid for it in railroad transportation.
 When theNbiIl was under considera- tion by the Senate Committee at the Glenmore Wednesday night, commit tee from the Alabama Press Associa- tion, headed by President R. F. l.. Mel of the Alabama Press Association went before the committee and asked that the bill be 80 drawn that it would. not make it unlawful for a newspaper and a railroad to go into contract for the exchange of benefits.
 The committee readily agreed to this request, but 1t Is said the committee did not know that the Governor has strong convictions on the subject.
 When the bill was reported In the Senate yesterday, Senator Fred L.. Blackmon asked that 300 copies of 1t be printed for the use of the members of the Senate so that they could read and understand 1t. The resolution carried, and there may be little de- lay in the passage of the bill and in the killing of the amendment. But if the editors want to have the amend ment stick, they will have to make a pretty good fight.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-01-18

The Alabama editor will in all prob- ability lose his railroad pass after all. The fight that the committee from the Alabama Press Association made and won before the Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers of the Senate was only preliminary victory.
 The outlook for the Alabama editors g retention of his railroad pass is dark enough to be black The knowing ones in the Legislature say the amendment adopted by the committee can not pos sibly become law with the prevailing administration sentiment against it. 1t Is frankly intimated the Governor will veto the bin, if the Senate committees amendment is attached to 1t, when it goes down to the Governors office The members of the Legislature who say thority. The Governor may or may not if it has that provision in 1t.
 But this much is certain. The ad- ministration sentiment in the House is at present opposed to allowing the ex- change of benefits between a newspa- per and a railroad. Any shrewd ob- server knows that sentiment would not be of this character if 1t did not re- feet the attitude of the Executive.
 It is possible the editors of the State who are interested in the measure could get enough votes by hard work in the House to pass the measure. but that would be only one phase of the fight. The struggle would then be transferred to the Governors s office. As the situation is reported, the editors

PLAN FALLS THROUGH Moses Building Will Be Razed to Ground. CONTRACTORS END ARGUMENT Break Off Negotiations With Pros
 pectiY Purchasers. Project To Place Huge Structure On New site, Now Regarded As Abandoned--Parties Main- tfin silence.
CONTRACTORS END ARGUMENT

, The raging of the Moses Building which was begun several days ago and continued yesterday. and not its re- moval without dismemberment, is the probable event of the disagreement be- tween the owners and the contractors who had been expected by the public to transport tie structure from its present site to Lee street near Mont gomery.
 The recent purchasers of the build- ing which the new First National Bank is to replace. and the representatives of Wells Brothers and Company, of New York. who had considered its re- moval, did not confer at 10 o'clock yesterday morning as had been plan- ned, and the statements made last evening by the parties to the business, indicated they would not agree on the terms of a contract.
 Major R. E. Steiner, counsel for the Wells Company, said last night his clients no longer considered the pro. posal to remove the building intact, and would continue to rage 1t to make way for the bank building. for the construction of which they have con tract.
 ks At a conference held Wednesday night by William A. Gayle. William B. Jones, William M. Marks, and John
 w. Ray, who purchased the Moses Building, and Walter T. Smith. repre- senting the Wells Brothers and Com pany. with whom negotiations for the removal of the building without its de- molition had been pending, 1t was agreed another conference should be held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. At the appointed hour, however. MT.
 Smith advised the other party to the propected contract there could be no practical result from the conference, and 1t was useless for him to attend. This statement was regarded as suf- ficiently' clear assurance that the repre- sentatives of the contractors intended no longer to entertain the proposal for the transportation of the building. The assurance was corroborated last night l by Major Steiner, attorney for Wells Brothers and Company.
 we have no statement to make about a matter that we regard as private business affair."" said Major Steiner. My clients will rage the
 Moses Building in preparation for the construction of the new First Nation al Bank Building"
 1 No statement was made by Messrs Gayle, Jones, Marks and Ray. The! declined to say they had acquiesced tC a termination of the negotiations. ou they also refused to confirm rumo | that they would attempt to force tn Wells Company to fulftllment o l terms which the buyers of the building regard as being in force, and the rep fTesentatives of the Wells Compan consider as a suggested and not an ac

 In short while two ties had been placed under the rails and the first test came as No. 1 sped by. The ties stood just as they had been placed. By the time four of the ties were un- der the rails freight trains. heavy la- den with coal and iron from the Bir- mingham district. passed over them. and other freight trains added to the test. @
 /If this initial test Is premonition of the final test there is no doubt that the cross tie problem is> solved. and that 1t has fallen to the lot of MT.

SAYS 9TH AVENUE
 IS IN BAD SHAPE
ALDERMAN kLOTZ WANTS SOME. THING DONE BUT AUTHoRI. TIES CANNOT ACT UNTIL NEW BONDS ARE AUTHORIZED.

Eighth avenue according to Alderman Klotz, is one of the most plainly neglected spots in the city of Birmingham. He seeks to have the street committee of the Board of Aldermen authorize it's be- ing macadamized and cherted, if nothing better can be done.
 The conditions of that avenue are more peculiar than any other, for it will not hold any kind of pavement more than three months. It is a veritable sluice gate, serving, during rains, as a storm sewer Itself. The tracks of the street car company and the road bed are con tinually being washed away.
 This is due to the need of a storm sewer toward the northwest, and not until this storm sewer is laid will the inhabl- tants of that neighborhood have a good avenue. So those people will have double reason to vote for the s4OOOOO bonds when the election comes off in September
 If this referendum carries favorably the sewer will be built and then the city can afford to put bitulithic pavement down. As 1t is, the water would undermine it within a few weeks and it would crumble to pieces Eighth avenupe is one of the biggest highways in the city, ae people enter Birmingham that way from EnsleT, Owenton, smithf1eld Pratt City and Thomas, as we'll as Fountain Heights and other districts.

POLICE WORRIED
 BY NEW MISTER Y
TELEGRAM RECEIVED AT HEAD QUARTERS TELLS STORY OF
 INVESTIGATION UNREWARDED.

A peculiar telegram which appeared on the file of the police department yes terday told story of accident, pain and death in a very sympathetic though brief manner. It was written on the regular yellow slip of the Western Un- ion Telegraph company and said: Dead cat at Twentieth street and Fifth ave- nue crossing" so much and no more
 No one could detail the horrible &C., cident. although there must have been some witness. The police department has many heories, but none of them can be verified. Some declare that the poor cat was held up Saturday night and stabbed to the heart, while the highwaymen made away with all It's spare change.
 Another believes that the poor feline was murdered in some low quarter of the city, carried there in a hack, and mercilessly thrown out to die while still another Is of the opinion that 1t was run down by a heartIess street car motorman.
 Everything which goes on this file has to be closely investigated but this case has been the most mysterious that has come up for long time. The body can not be found, although all the un- dertaking parlors have been searched and the authorities are now as much at sea as when the telegram was received.
