The lowering of the street near the bridge and its perfect grading by the city is now a matter of time, as tHe safety and convenience of the thous- ands who pass Lee Place every day is to be guarded.
 Many handsome homes have already been erected in the suburb in which Lee Place is the center. and many more are in the process of construction. Truly, with the unveiling of the statue to Robert E. Lee there will not be a finer suburb to any city of the South than will be Lee Place.
 The program arranged by the com mittee of eleven Confederate Veterans for the unveiling ceremony follows:
 Confederate selections by the band
 Call to order by the chairman, Gen. W. c. Oates.
 Invocation. by Rev A. F Dix. chap lain of Camp Lomax, Confederate Vete- rans.
 Formal presentation of the statue of General Lee to the City of Montgomery by the chairman.
 Unveiling of the statue by four Con- federate soldiers: Gen. W. c. Oates of the 18th Alabama infantry. Col. Harvey E. Jones, Adjutant-General of Csracie's Brigade; Capt. John w. Tul- Iis. First Lieutenant of the Hardaway Battery; Capt. George E. Clisby. pri- vate of the 6th Alabama infantry.

BubOnic Plague Continues Its RavaReu

 in Venezuela.
 Caracas Venez., Saturday, May SO- LaGuayra, plague-desolated, had hopes of salvation last week, when, on May 23, President Castro issued his decree declaring the epidemic endad and the port open to foreign commerce and domestic trade.
 But the hopes were in vain as the dis ease continued its ravages with still more deadly effect during the past week and many new cases and deaths were reported. But officially there has never yet been any bubonic plague, and officially the existing sickness" has been stamped out.
 No ships have yet come to port in response to President Castro's decree This was not unexpected, however, and the buring question in Caracas early in the week was, What would happen to Caracas if the hundreds of destitute and starving laborers of LaGuayra should come to Caracas on the 29th. the day fixed by the decree for the opening of communication with the in- terior cities?" The 29th came with out any new decree again closing the port of LaGuayra, btu orders were is- sued to the authorities to continued the sanitary cordon as before and keep ev- erybody penned in. This has saved Car acas. but is pretty hard on the 1,500 destitute of LaGuayra. Thus today We are in the anamalous position of hav- ing LaGuayra an open port. free from epidemic by Presidential decree while in reality 1t is closed as tight as ever. The publication of the health bulletins by the government has been discontin- uAd.
 The merchants committee which has been doing such heroic work of sanita- ton in LaGuayra with funds contrib uted by the business houses of that port and of Caracas, has now disband- ed because of lack of funds and the slight prospects of raising any more.
 The Caracas merchants have taken the stand that the whole burden of fighting the epidemic should not be left on the shoulders of individuals and their money alone cannot be enough to wipe out the scourge

suits OF the late election is found
in the fact that the Speer gang
IN Denver conspired to defeat
Judge Rucker for the nomination
for governor. because they feared
he was too sturdily honest to
serve their corrupt purposes.
Rucker retaliaied by handing his
delegates over TO Honest John

even by nominating Ruckcr for a
walk through a slaughter house
