Western Uaion Has . simliar Suit Against the City which VIII Probably ne Ended hy
 Thtn DeefaEam.

Anniston. Dec. 21.---tsnecial. J--- Judge Coleman. of the City Court, has rendered an important decision in the case of the Postal Telegraph Company vH the City of Anniston, awarding the judgment in favor of the plaintiff, holding the city's license tax prohib-
 The particulars of this case are yet familiar to the public. as the case de- veloped this year when the city rals- cd the license tax on the telegraph companies. as wen as every other business in order to supplement the saloon tax. which was lost to the city upon the Introduction of prohibition A brief review. however, may be of Interest and will show the entire rea- sons governing the matter, both from the standpoint of the city and the contesting company.
 The license tax against telegraph companies has been increased from year to year. t is said, since 1906, whan q tax of t100 was collected. Another raise of $50 followed in 1907, ana tn 1908 1t was increased to SPAS,
 Both the Postal and Western Uriion protested the payment Of the fn- creased amount fors 1908, though the money was paid over to the city af- Ter considerable hesitation and per- haps contempt proceedings against the agents and local managers of the companies in the police court.
 There was added also to the tax as forfeiture the sum of Sf0.50 for failure to pay within the time limit prescribed by law and this sum was also paid under protest.
 The suit which has just been s5ecid- ed was for the recovery of the differ ence in the tax collected in. 1907 aud in 1908 tt7s1 together with the for feiture of s4o.5o paid by the Postal Telegraph Company.
 It was shown by the records that the tax collected by the city was equivalent to 3s per cent. of the gross tntrastate receipts of the company This was shown, to be true also by the Western Union, whose books vera in- troduced in evidence in the trial of the case just decided for the Postal.
 The Western Union has "a similar suit pendins against the city which will in all probability be ended upon the deeiaion just rendered unless the city shall conclude to carry the case to the Supreme Court.

A resolution was passed changing the minutes of May 2e. on which date a sl00. GOO bond issue was authorized for street paving. The minutes made the date of the bonds as January |. instead of July 1. as correctly 1t should have been, and the bonds. marked January i, were unsalahie. The sdop- Sion of the resolution, however, chang ing the date, validated the issue.
 A bid was received from the walker Evans and Cogswell Company, ot Charleston, s.

Breezy Notes From the Big Colorado
State Fair

Never before was interest so great.
Exhibits and attendance will surpass
all former records.
Pueblo is making splendid arrange
ments to care for the crowds.
More than $1,000 people are expected
on Fraternal day. Tuesday. September
l5
From opening day to closing hour, the
fair grounds will be covered with free
attractions. Two splendid military
bands will play the high class music
each afternoon.
Farmers union and Labor union day,
Wednesday, September Is. will be a
great event, too. "Alfalfa Bill'' Murray,
the famous Oklahoma senator, will speak
at the new Alfalfa Palace.
Balloon races every day, between two
mamoth balloons and famous aeronants.
These positively will appear in thrilling
races high in the air. It's worth trip
to the fair to see these races alone.
The horse racing is going to be the
best ever given on the famously fast
track Of the state fair grounds. In ad-
dition to the usual class OF races, one
tremendous novelty event will cause
great excitement-a running race with
sixty participants Indians, boys COW
girls, jockeys, etc.
Fine relay races will be run too, par
ticipatel in by cowboys and Indians.
Among the Indians entered for the races
is the celebrated Hasbine Kim Bega. one
of the worlds most wonderful riders.
See him in the five mile race on Colo
RADIO day, Thursday, September H.
That's the day when the champion
ladies' drill team of the United States
will drill on the grounds. This team Of
ladies won a $1,000 prize in Philadel-
phia contest for the championship of the
United States army few months ago
The wonderful maneuvers that they per
form in drilling are beyond belief or real
ization until seen.
There's going to be wonderfully at
tractive street fair on the Pueblo streets
at night with numerous high class feat
ures provided by one Of the greatest car
nival companies in America. The streets
will blaze with myriad electric lights
from special illuminations and jolly
crowds will enjoy every minute. Join
in. Make week of it. No raise in
Pueblo hotel, rooming house and restau-
rant rates.

have downed the Standard Oil company.
II we remember right the Standard Oil
was also fined once upon time.
A writer in an article against prohibi-

The Colorado Springs Gazette issued
large alone Trading" edition yester-
day. The special comprises forty pages
and has a liberal advertising patronage.
The makeup and press work are up to
the standard set by the Gazette.
1t is curious fact, worth remember
ing, that the big events that have marked
most administrations had nothing to do
with any plank in their party platforms
Cleveland's action in breaking the strike
in 1894 and in upholding the Monroe
doctrlue had nothing to do with The
