DEMANDS OF WINTER
SALVATION ARMY IS PREPARING FOR THEM.
Owing to Hard Times Among Working Classes the Objects of Charity are Expected to Overflow
 Very shortly.

Ohicers of the Salvation Army are very busy at the present time pre- pairing for the hard times which inev- itably attend the winter months. Dur ing these months the army headouar- ters in every city receive numerous calls for aid every day.
 ""rhis will be especially true during the coming winter" said Envoy Con- nors. in charge of the work locally dur ing the vacation of Captain odoni. "Ow- ing to the hard times among the working classes during the past sum- mer, great many families are begin ming to find it hard already to supply their children with the necessary cloth ing, books. and other necessary sup plies for a school life."
 But" continued the Envoy. cit is not only the people of Montgomery. who receive benefits from application to tho army. Hardly a day passes but the headquarters are not applied to for aid by strangers. These strangers come to the city in search of work. and require food and lodging until they can be placed.
 This will doubtless be a hard winter and the Salvation Army will do It's ut- most to supply all demands made by worthy persons. The people of Mont gomery have been liberal with their aid in furthering our work and we thank them for it."

Alderman Saul. alderman in the city council from the ward that men call seven, sat him in the police highseat. barred his arms and scanned the court room, turned him to the police captain. who there acts as prosecutor. bade the big guy call the prisoners.
 And before the justice kneeling, spake there one in soft appealing who was caught a train ride stealing. Jam sen Olsen, from Milwaukee. bettle browed and grimed with cinders.

And he swore that after coast ing.

REAL ESTATE BOOM
BIC SUM TO BE EXPENDED BY MIR.
 BELL
In Vicinity of the Hell BuiIdiur stor.. arc Said to Be in Coutemula ton ApproximatinE SIS0OOO
 in Valus

It was said yesterday that N. ]. Bell. owner of the Bell Building. and much real estate in the immediate vicinity. mas decided to expend the sum of sl5O. 0oo In erecting business houses on montgomery and Lee Streets the work Is to start as soon as the several bust : ness concerns wishing to come to Mont relative to the architecture of the structures.
 The corner of the block opposite the Bell Building. now occupied by the cotton warehou.~ of Marks and Gayle, will probably receive the first atten- ton. On the site 1t is contemplated erecting several s25,000 structuresSsim- liar to that now occupied bv the Rhodes Furniture store which property Is own- Cd by Mir. Bell and was built at the request of and on specifications approv- ca by It's present occupant. The houses to be built may vary in cost ana-styie in some small measure from the fur niture store building but the general Idea will be carried out.
 In the last few months representa- tives of several big mercantile houses have visited Montgomerv with an eye to establishing houses here. but were unable to get located as near Court Square as they desired. This fact in- duced Mfr. BeiT to develop his property in the vicinity of the new big office building.
 Wednesday the building was accept ed from the constructors. Although the entire ipstaliation of the elevators and electric lights is not finished. many of the rooms are ready for occupancy and tenants will begin moving in Monday.
 Mir. Bell is still staying in Waukesha, Wis. and will not return until cold weather. so the building was accepted by his representative here.

LICENSES IN EFFECT
MAYOR TEAGUE SIGNED THE NEW
 SCHEDULE.
But is Believed The End is Not Yet, As Liquor Men Are Deter mined On Point of DIs-
 rrfual Uaffon.

Signed and approved by Mayor Teague yesterday morning, the new license schedule of the municipality of Montgomery has gone into effect.
 All changes the council deemed necessary having been made at the last council meeting. the measure needed but the approval and signature of the chief executive of the city to make 1t . law.
 But the wise ones say the end is not yet. Alderman Sullivan and several others are bitterly opposed to several sections of the new schedule. but the one that claims the most attention is that providing for license of $22s for the three remaining months of 1908 for the whiskey dealers. At the last session of council. when majority vote carried the section raising the license. Mir. Sullivan notified council in writing that at Che next regular meeting he would introduce an ordi- nance providing for the repeal of the liauor section.
 It has been said some of the liquor dealers will not consent to pay the license and If they do not. the city will have them arrested for failing to pay their license This step will bring the matter to the police court, provided arrests are made. and under the muni. cipaI code, which provides that any city council may make licenses as 1t pleases. so long as the license Is not prohibitive. the cases will go against those arrested. If an appeal is taken the case will go to the city court. where features other than the pro- visions of the city code may be intro duced. From this court. if the police court decision is sustained. the case may be appealed to the Supreme Court for final settlement
 rnnrotls,,a, Hu1 license contend that the dealers had the opportunity to pay under the old schedule and had they done so they would have been exempt from further levy. but as opportunity was not taken advantage of they are now legally liable to the raise.
 The matter is the subject of much interest in municipal circles as well as among the dispensers of alcoholics and the result of the steps that are expect ed to be taken Is awaited with the keenest interest by both sides
