WEATHER MAN RELIEVED: BREEZES BLEW DELIGHTFULLY

old Sol, in view of the eclipse which is to come over his brightness on Sum day morning, yesterday must have thought that he would be as nice as possible to Montgomery and vicinity in the hopes that the ordeal through which he must pass will be as light as possible. The streets for most of yes- terday were delightful. There was ai- ways a breeze blowing. and the u1er- eury did not try gymnastic stuntsN of trying to climb up tn long tube in the Government building. There was the pleasant temperature of SS degrees In the shaded portions of the street. and but few degrees higher in the sun.
 The batting average of the humidity several days past that fntensifier of heat batted up to 72 and 80. but yes terday and the day before could do lit- tie better than 52.
 But even better than yesterdays pleasant weather Is the promise of the Weather Burau for a continuance through today. It Is also probable that Sunday win be very pleasant as the sun is to go out during the morning hours.

TO ExTERMINATE RATS.

 st. Louis Health COmnissioner to Be-
 gin Experimental Crusade.
 St. Louis. June 26--Assistant Health Commissioner Wynn announced last crusade which he expects will exter- night that on Monday he will begin a minate rats in St. Louis.
 He has discovered new virus which he believes will eradicate the pests. Rats from several parts of the city will be. inocculated with the virus and if his theory works. he says. in few months, rodents will be unknown in the city. The plan which pr. Wynn will try is to inoceulate several live rats with the virus in a similar manner that a person is vaccinated. He will scrape a leg of the rodent and inject the serum.
 The virus will cause the rodent to become very sick and get high fever. The fever will cause 1t to seek fresh air ana thus prevent it from dying in its hole. The disease which is pro duced by the serum is highly contagi- ous to rats.
 The experiment which the physician has made show the odor emanatfng from a patient attracts other rodents and they in turn become infected with the malady. The rat dies however, practically without pain.

They have escaped no less than twice after the sheriff thought he had them tied and barred so they couldn't possibly get away. The war rant against the negroes is burglary.
 Sheriff Johnson heard that the two, Will Spear and his wife. were in Geor- gia- Asking that they be arrested in that State he was in the act of bring iag them back to Alabama. when the two broke jail at Cuthbert and gained their freedom for about a week. The sh eriff's dander was up. however and after much trouble recaotured them. Yesterday he passed through Montgom- cry on his way to DadevIlIe. and he placed his prisoners in Mir.
