NCENDIARY FIRES ARE
 BECOMING NUMEROUS
Yesterday Mornings Blaze on Cleve- land Avenue the Last of sev-
 eral Recently Made.

No information about the fire at 2;1o o'clock yesterday morning, which was believed to have been kindled by in- cendiaries. has as yet been found. but people are beginning to take notice on account of the several blazes which re- gently have seemed. to be of inexplica- ble cause unless fre-bugs had been working.
 The fire yesterday morning att the corner of Cleveland and Jefferson Da- wis Avenues. was eating out the side of a house, but the companies from Five Points station. which were first to ar rive, extinguished the flames before any serious loss occurred. The firemen be- Aeve that, undoubtedly. the fire had been purposely made.
 Last Sunday morning. at about the same hour with the fire of yesterday, a residence on Hamrick Street a few doors from Bell, was destroyed by fire. The tenants of the house had on the previous day vacated it. and it is sus- pected that after they left the house was fired. Other incendiary fires have happened recently.

He had come to Columbia, he said as the representative of Pres ident Roosevelt, and had been urged by the President to accept the invitation to visit Columbia. and was very grati- fled at the cordial receptions rendered him and the keen interest displayed in financial matters by this people
 He said he advocated the passage of the Aldrich bill with material amend ments. One of these was making the interest for short time expansions very low and increasing 1t in graduation. This would insure the retirement of money no longer needed and that re- tirement was necessary to elasticity. He thought 1t wise, also. to eliminate railroad bonds as securities.

This fs UHtimhtum of Humane Aiii- ance to Mayor of Mobile
 May Send it Back to

Mobile, Ala, Jan, 1e--(Special)-Tlt is now up to the city authorities 70 stand by their action of some months ago granting permission to tne National Humane Alliance Society 70 erect tiie fountain they proposed to Place or ship it back to the donors.
 Tn substance this is the letter Mayor Lyons received today from Lewis M. Seaver, Secretary of the Alliance.
 Several months ago MT. Seaver came here and was granted permission to erect the fountain there by the general council The Board of Public Works later decided to put 1t somewhere else and later decided to put 1t back at Duncan Place. In fact each and every member of the board had different site for the fountain.
 Then q complaint from the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy was lodged stating that if erected at Duncan Place xthe fountain would detract from the statue of Admiral Semmes that is also located there
 It was decided to write MT. Seaver asking If the fountain could not be placed on some other site than Duncan Place and his answer today Is to the effect that if the people here cannot see fit, to erect the fountain at the site first granted they may send 1t back to it's donors.
 VIII Return Fountain.
 The Board of Public Works of Mo- bile met tonight and reconsidered the proposition to place the granite foun- tain presented to the city of Mobile by the National Humane Alliance .r front of the Admiral Senmes monument at Duncan Place.
 The meeting was attended by eight prominent Mobile women, besides q number of men, including attorneys, judges and Confederate veterans.
 It was decided that the fountain shall be returned if the Alliance does not agree to its being placed at some other location.

Successful Expsriments in Abating

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary disease and should not be tolerated for a single day now that Hyomei is so generally known and has made so many cures in Montgomery and other towns
 Modern science has disproved the old theory that catarrh was a blood disease. It is a germ trouble, and the remedy is Hyomei, which medicates the air you

Houston Post.
 Democratic Congressmen have not done very much for the party during the past ten years. They have rem dered the most trivial support to the and 1t is seldom that one can be in- duced to go to some other State to de- liver a speech. In a financial way they have done nothing. Some few contrib but the majority don't giye a red cent. The House minority needs some life in it. The Democratic Congressional Committee ought to be backed up and the members from the certain districts ought to make some sacrifices in order to help out in the doubtful districts. Some of these doubtful districts must be won if another Democratic House is to be elected.
