SCHOOL AT LUyERNE.
Despite Loss of whiskey Money Year
 Begins Good.

UE&tu8 GU0U.
 Luverne Sept. 15.-(Special) )-The Luverne school opened Monday morn ing and the large auditorium in the school building was filled almost to its capacity with enthusiastic pupils and parents.
 Since the dispensary was closed and the school fund deprived of any rev. enue from that source, it was expected by a number of citizens that the opening of the school under the new conditions might show a considerable decrease in numbers, but from the en : thusiasn and interest manifested in the beginning It Is now believed that this will be record breaking year.
 For several years the school has been receiving sufficient funds from the dispensary to operate the school free, but without this source the board has been puzzled as to what the best plan would be to overcome the want of funds and the plan of supplement Ing the fund by paying a monthly in- cidental fee amounting to from $l to s2 per month, according to grade.
 Prof. M. l.. Beale, superintendent for the ensuing year, made an eloquent appeal to the boys and girls to CO., operate with the teachers and school officials in making this the. best and most useful year in the history of the school.
 Speeches were made by number of those present in the interest of education and Professor Black was as- sured of the help and hearty co-opera- ton of all present.
 The faculty for this year is Prof M. l.. Black, principal; Mrs. Mae fy- ner, Miss Hattie Mae Mater, Miss Ella Walker. Miss Lizzie Morton. Miss Pearl Still and Miss Anna Prestwood.

NEW ZEALAND EXPORTS.
Marked Falling off in Orders Prem fhs
 United Sfafen.

The Islanders of New Zealand constituts busy and prosperous colony. whose infef- ests have much in common with the Unit cd States. general state of thrift among the inhabitants has laid a base for co-ope- ratfve experiments that have attracted marked attention in other parts of the world.
 One adverse feature is the marked ds- crease of exports from New Zealand to Che United States. The chief things which ws buy from New Zealand are flax fIber jeIts, wool and kauri gum. For the product last of supply. and the United States takes from year amounted to $500 tons. The sudden falling off in orders from America has cre- ated depression in the Industry. In one year our exports from Auckland of flax fi- Der have shrunk from s2s,s22 to ss.si4, and our imports of wool from sfss,3l9 to tll, 0s. The price of New Zealand flax has dropped from S1s5 to si0T ton; wool ha4 declined about 50 per cent. This fall n attributed chiefly to the decreased dc mand from the United states incident te the business depression here.
 A special source of loss has been due te the suspension of the oceanic steamship service between Auckland and our wet coast. Yet, despite the fact that we are now buying comparatively little from New Zealand. 1t appears that New Zealand h buying more from us than ever before and 1t is possible that our purchases from New Zealand will rise to the former mark before long. bringing a revival in several indus- tries in that colony.

They gently stimulate, tone and strengthen sick kidneys. drive away backache. rheumatic pain and dizzf- ness, clear up and regulate the ursne, and restore a perfect Altering of the blood. Best of all. this relief is per- manent.
 Montgomery Proof.
 g. H. Mcqueen. living at 23e Lee street, Montgomery, Ala. says: I nev- CT knew what it was to have kidney trouble until last year. At that time my kidneys suddenly became disord- cred and the secretions from these or- gans very irregular in action. A heavy sediment was also noticeable in the secretions. thus proving thas my kidneys needed prompt attention. "A friend advised me to try Doan's Kid ney Pills and acting on this sugges- tion, I procured a supply at D. c. FowIer's drug store. One box of this remedy completely and permanently cured me and I have been in good health since. know Doan's Kidney Pills to be worthy of recommendation and am pleased to speak in their fa- vor."

SLOW DEATH

MAN WAS OF SOBER HABITS
When Found Henry sfangum Had Arm Crushed and Was Suffering From Internal Injuries ResuIt-
 ing Fatally.

Henry Mangum. of BIO Chandler Street, a carpenter, was struck by a moving train in the Louisville and Nashville Railroad freight yards late Monday night, suffering crushed arm and internal injuries. from which he died in St. Margaret's hospital yester- day morning.
 ManKum was on his way to his home, which Is near the railroad yards, and seems to have attempted to reach 1t by crossing the tracks. A yard en- zine was moving cars about. preparing the makeup of the trains for the next day. shunting the empties about. and 1t is thought that he was caught by one of these. as no one in the railroad yard knew of his presence until he was found in a dying condition beside the rails.
 The lights in the yard are brilliant and are kept burning all night. and the employees of the road say 1t is difficult to understand how any one who. was on the alert in the yard should be caught unawares. Managum, it seems was knocked down by the cars and damned against something, for there was no evidence that he had been run over. The night watchman found him in a path between two tracks, ly- ing unconscious.
 An ambulance and surgeon were phoned for and came at Sop speed reaching the yard about 11:30 o'clock, The injured man. judging from his con dition, 1t seems, had been lying where he was found for some time. It was said. had help arrived sooner. or had he been found sooner, there might have been chance of saving his life. He was taken to the hospital as quick ly as possible and an operation per formed. but the medical attention came too late, and the nervous shock was such that he could not be removed. Hc died in the early hours of yesterday morning. without having regained con. sciousness.

MAY LEASE WHARF
SUBJECT IS OF LIVE INTEREST IN
 SELMA.
City Council win Dispose of Matter Two Weeks nence--Mr. Duw. sons Gin Burns-Cen-
 trai City News.

Selma. Sept Is Especial. )--The in- dications are that when the City councf meets again. two weeks from now. the proposition of the Birmingham and Gulf Railway and Navigating Com pany will be accepted and that the Council will grant that company a lease for q number of years on the city's lot on the Alaba ma River at Franklin and Bow Streets
 Perhaps the only contention which will come up in the matter will be the number of years which the company Will be granted lease upon the prop erty.
 The bonds of the Birmingham and Gulf Railway and Navigating Company are ffty-year gold bonds and the cor pcration has indicated that 1t would at least want the lease on the city lot on the river for that length of time.
 While the company wants the lot for half Sentury some of the members of the Council believe that twenty years or twenty-fve years would be a sufficient length of time and then prob ably the property could be released again
 With the lot leased for a satisfac-
 tory period of years the improvements which the Birmingham and Gulf Rail- way and Navigating Company will place upon 1t will mean an expenditure of about s15,000 at the least. It Is understood that Mir. Dewberry will come to Selma before the next meeting of the Council and that he will confer with the special committee of the Council which was appointed at the meeting last night.
 It Is also generally believed that if the city lot on the river is leased to the Birmingham and Gulf Railway and Navigating Company for a reasonable number of years that the company will build its intended railroad from the Birmingham district to Selma instead
 or building the road to Tuscaloosa. Lighting Agreement.
 Citizens generally are taking con- siderable interest in the agreement | which the committee of the Commer- cial and Industrial Association and the special committee from the City Coun- cil effected with the Selma Lighting 1 Company in regards to the rate for l electricity.
 | Everyone claims that the present | rate charged by the company Is ex- eessive and believe that the new agree | ment should be entered into as under
 1t the majority of the consumers will l save nearly thirty per cent. 1 It is believed that when the City | Council meets again that the commit
 tee which was appointed at the meet
 ing last night to investigate this | agreement will recommend to that
 body its adoption. If the agreement
 Is not adopted by the council there Is | sure to be a strong protest from the 1 consumers of the city
