FOREST FIRES SWEEP
 TOP OF MOUNTAINS

Huntsville, Nov. 3.-(Special)-The top of Monte Sano is being devastated by a forest fire that was first noticed Sunday afternoon.
 some of the picnic parties that went up from the city Sunday are supposed to have thoughtlessly started the blaze and the underbrush being extremely dry. 1t spread rapidly and now covers an area several miles in extent. The glow can be seen from the city at night and apparently the fire extends from one end of the mountain to the other.
 At a late hour 1t had crossed the gulch and was approaching the noun tain village. All residents of the mountain were on guard and doing everything they could to stop the pro- gress of the flames.
 The shifting of the wind from the southeast to the west late last night will retard the fire by blowing 1t back over the burned area.

Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are, "Bryan's beat again.
 What a gloomy night 1t was. Thou sands gathered at The Advertiser bull letln board to cheer, but remained to sigh. They kept their eyes fastened on the big sheet stretched half way cross the Federal building on which the discouraglng news was flashed from the big stereopticon. There was no joy or gIadness there. And In all Gilead there was no balm.
 What chance was there tc cheer over the information that Georgia and Texas had gone Democratic, when just beIore 1t there was flashed the astounding news that Taft had carried Greater New York! The faster the bulletins got the worse the news came. Indiana, Minnesota. Ohio and other doubtful States slipped into the already full wallet of the Republican candidate. The news was about as bad as II could be.
 Still the patient crowd massed up and down Lawrence street and across Dexter avenue kept up its courage and continued to read the news of Tafts big vote. Now and then a bulletin was flashed showing that Bryan was leading by a thousand or SC, for the time. in Greater New York and the hasty and poorly informed would cheer at this crumb of comfort. But the wise ones knew that if Bryan was to win he must get something like 150. 900 majority in Greater New York to carry tho State and they shook their heads.
 broken carbon delayed the show for q while and for that length of time only. no bad news was thrown on the sheet In this interval a big German walked away from the crowd down Dexter avenue where he met two friends who wanted to know the news.
 Der Taft machoritees haf been so big dot dey haf busteed der machine"
 On Court Square Q steropticon was being worked at which numerous ad- vertisIng slides were shown. One of these slides raised the only hearty, spontaneous burst of applause of the night.
 It read: "so and So and Company are sacrificing their stock of whiskey Good whiskey now worth S1.50 will be sold for 76c a quart"
 A conivial party of gentlemen near the fountain broke immediately into a pleased an hearty cheer.

NO SUNDAY NEWS.
Huntsville Preachers Decline To Give
 Information.


 i Huntsville Nov. 3.--(Special. )-The Sunday newspaper will be no longer used in Huntsville for church an- nouncements If the resolution of the Pastors Association holds out.
 At a full meeting of the association yeaterday discussion of the movement for a more strict observance of the Sabbath was engaged and attention was directed to the fact that while the preachers have been urging their con- gregations to observe Sunday in It's strIctest sense, the pastors themselves have been using the columns of the Sunday newspaper to advertise their services. No one had given this a thought and the ministers came to the conclusion that 1t Is a condition that should not be allowed to continue longer.
 By resolution the association mem bers agreed to make all of their an- nouncements on Saturdays.

GLADYS REESE IN TROUBLE.
Girl Who Lived Here Until Recently
Arrested for Theft,

Girl Who Lived Hero Until Recently
Arrested for Theft.
Gladys Reese, aged II years, has
been sent by Cedar RAPIDS officials
to the home of her grandparents in
this city to keep her out of trouble
and stop the stormy career she had
been having in that city. She went to
Cedar Rapids two weeks ago from
LaPorte, where she had been living
with her step parents. At Cedar Rapids
she first worked in the Newport cafe
for three or four days, after which she
took q place as waitress at the Allison
hotel. In less than week she disap-
peared from the hotel and it is claimed
with 81 and dress skirt belonging
to another waitress. She then got en-
ployinent in a private family where,
after two days, she left, as did also,
it is alleged, two pocketbooks and
diamond ring. When arrested by the
police she at first denied the thefts.
but later admitted her guilt. All the
property was recovered but the "a,
which she used as part payment for
dress. Justice Nugent fined her $500
and costs, but on her promise to be
good and come to the home of her
grandparents in this city, where she
said she would have a good home, the
fine was held In allegiance. The girfs
tender years had good deal to do
with the justice tempering the DISPOSE
ton of her case with mercy.

wleNALL LOSES LEG.
Iowa Central Engineer Submits to Am
putation to Save Life.

puI0IIOU " 00No euSs
John Wignall the Iowa Central en-
gineer who was terribly injured Mon
day evening when his switch engine
was backed into by a local freight
train, and he was caught beneath the
wrecked cab, submitted to the aInpu-
tation Of his right leg, at a point four
inches above the knee, at st. Thomas
hospital late Wednesday afternoon.
Surgeons examined the knee Wednes-
day afternoon with the view of see
ing just what the condition was, now
that the man had recovered somewhat
from the shock of his injuries 1t was
thought that possibly the fractured
bones Of the knee could be wired to-
gether, and the leg saved. An examina-
ton, however. showed that the bones
were literally shattered into small bits.
and SO badly splintered that union
would never be possible. On the other
hand, if amputation were not done,
there was every chance Of blood pois-
oning developing and killing the pa
tient. Wignall stood the operation
we'll, and rallied Very satisfactorily
following the operation. 1t is be-
lieved, from the condition of the knee,
that some iron rod or piece of wood
must have been driven entirely thru
the mans knee.
