MEETS HORRIBLE
 DEATH UNDER CAR Arthur White Was Repairing
 Some Air Brakes  SLOSS PAY DlSAPP0INTIN  City Court Has Busy Week, Many Cases Being Disposed of-PersonaI
 and General News of
 Bessemer.
SLOSS PAY DlSAPPOINT TING

Bessemer May 23.-(Special.) )-Arthur White, a car inspector employed at the Woodward furnace, met with a horrible death this morning at Il o'clock when he was crushed between two cars. It appears that MT. White had gone under brakes. Furnace engine No. IA had brought the cars in and had backed out. He thought he could get under the car and repair the damage before the en- zine could get back. In the meantime engine No. 10. which was hauling iron backed into the cars and he was caught like rat in trap.
 MT White had had orders to put a red flag out when he was working on a car or else he was supposed to have it run over on the siding In this case he failed to do so and as above stated 1t was sup posed that he was under the impression he would be able to get through before the engine returned for the cars. Of course he did not figure on another en- zine backing into him and this over sight cost him his life.
 The body was horribly Nnangled, the nead being almost entirely severed from the body and the arms and legs being horribly mashed. The body was taken in charge by the Kennedy Undertaking Co.,, and it is thought the funeral ar engagements will be made tomorrow Mir. White left besides a wife three small children to mourn his loss.

HYGIENE FOR BABIES.
Do Not Neglect TrltIes In Ills Daily
 Care.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
 tt Is easier to keep a baby in good health when he Is strong than to cure him when he is i'll; therefore, do not neglect the many trihes that enter into his daily care.
 The important things necessary for best development are good air cleanliness proper food and sleep.
 Exercise includes an occasional. but no' frequent. fit of loud crying; not a whine that means sickness or something wrong but iusty cry that expands the lungs in a manner most beneficial. Don't make the mistake of letting an infant indulge in it often.
 In your fear that he will take cold do not go to the other extreme of not hay. ing his nursery properly ventilated In. less he has pure air when indoors nt will be susceptible to the slightest change in temperature when outdoors and this is bad. At least twice a day the room in which baby stays must be swept through with fresh air
 Windows open this way with a fire go- ing in the room make ideal atmosphere for baby.
 If the child must be brought back to the nursery before 1t Is warm enough, wrap him in a blanket and keep him on the bed The cold air will be good for him If he has on sufficient clothing.
 Regularity Is the keynote to health ;n a baby Whatever is done for him must always be done at the same hour. He should have his bath at the same time, always be fed in the same way. at the stated hour; the time of being put to bed either for nap or for the night should rot vary five minutes. .sand his airing must rot be interfered with. baby Is distinct ly a creature of habit as well as Of in- stinet, and unless he is allowed to do the same things day after day he will have indigestion. insomnia, bad temper and cold.
 Baby's daily bath Is not only cleansing but helps him to be a well developed child. It is for this that he should have a tub big enough to splash and kick in, and be given time for this amusement. There never was a healthy boy who oin not love this If the temperature Of the water is as it should be. and the exercise is most beneficial.

City Court.

Judge William Jackson, presiding in the Bessemer city court, had an extremely busy week or at least he has been quite busy since Tuesday. The docket for the week was cleaned up with one exception and that case is still in the hands of the jury, being the case of J. s. Batiste vs the Birmingham Railway, Light and Pow CT company.
 The following cases were tried and dis posed of:
 Willie Jackson vs. Western Union Tele- graph company, verdict for plaintiff s101; Earnest Driver by his next of kin, Mrs. L. D. Driver, vs. United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company, verdict for plaintiff, s750; W. L. Banks vs. Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany, judgment by consent for the plaint- if, for BPS and costs.
 James Hanby vs. S. E. Grout, judgment for the plaintiff for s25 and costs This is a case where s. E. Grout had the plaintiff arrested for stealing a dog, and the plaintiff in turn brought suit for s15,00O for damages and the above is the result
 Lucious Appley vs. Western Union Tele- graph company, continued.
 M. E. Morrison vs. Ensley Southern railway, consent judgment for s240.
 Mrs. John Simmons vs. Western Union Telegraph company, continued.
 Ellis Gwns vs. Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, consent judg- ment for plaintiff for s2OO and costs. Bessemer Salvage and Manufacturing company vs. Central of Georgia railroad company and St. Louis and San Francis co Railroad company, passed for settle ment
 w. J. Evans vs. United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company, verdict for defendant
 Ida Montgomery vs. Birmingham Iron and Coal company, case dismissed for want of prosecution.
 Carrie Bradford vs Western Union Tele graph company, continued
 It will be seen from the above that a great deal of work has been accom- plished in the Bessemer city court since Tuesday morning, at which time court was convened
 It appears that the plaintiffs, defendants, witnesses and lawyers have at last been made to realize that when Clerk Dudley issues the warrants and Judge Jackson reads the docket for the week it means business right now. and for that reason the court is gaining an enviable reputa- ton as a quick despatcher of business. Non-jury civil and non-jury criminal cases will be taken up on Monday morning.

Sloss Pays Off.

The pay at Sloss mines was quite a disappointment to the merchants of Bessemer. Most of the merchants had hoped for quite a large business as a result of the pay. but they were forced to put up with a very little. It ap- pears that most of the negroes had checked up most of the money coming to them and for that reason they were unable to pay but very little to the merchants whom they owed in Besse- mer.
 The negroes employed at the Sloss mines as a rule do a great deal of business in Bessemer and as a rule they have good accounts. However, have lived up to every cent they have made and they took good care to check most of 1t out.
 It is believed the next pay day will show better results for the merchants of Bessemer and the merchants them selves are very much in hope this will be the case.

The Board of Revenue.

The people in Bessemer are more than glad to know that c. B. Rogers has been elected as a member of the Board of Revenue. MT. Rogers lived in Bessemer for a number of years and his friends did not fail to rally to his support when he needed them. Job Co., ing also has great many friends in Bessemer, who are glad to learn that he landed in good style. Lovelady. Haigler and Vines, the other lucky members, also received good votes in Bessemer and each one of them had a number of friends here who worked hard for them.

WORTHY OF FLAG SHE CARRIED.
Historic Incident Participated In by
American Warship.

OF the old sloop of war st. Marys,
now to be consigned in her slxty-fifth
year to the tender mercies OF the auc-
ton, 1t Is written that she bore no
conspicuous part in war in all her long
service. This may be true, but the
st. Mary's was once associated with
an event which Is worthy Of commem-
grafton. Under the command OF the
late Capt. Colvocoresses she was the
means, 40 or more years ago, Of post
poning the bombardment Of Valparaiso
by the Spanish feet. She was
anchored before the city, and the
Spanish admiral limited that she was
in the line of fire. Capt. Colvocor-
esses remarked that he was perfectly
satisfied with his berth, and that while
the st. Mary's carried but % guns.
she represented a navy that had 1900
guns at sea- Valparaiso was event
ually bombarded, but not while Capt.
Colvocoresses was present. The pc
culiar name of the ship commemo-
rates an early colonial capital OF
Maryland. 1t was given in the same
spirit of historical association as was
illustrated by the jamestown and
the Plymouth, her sister ships.

One Argument In Defense Of Reserve

There is much to be said OF the

indifference with which families re-

never know their neighbors by sight.
II is heartless, In a way, to have no

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum.

Many a talented person Is kept back
because of the interference Of coffee
with the nourishment Of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as Is
often the case with talented persons.
There is q simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils and Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:
Almost from the beginning Of the
use of coffee 1t hurt my stomach. by
the time was fifteen / was almost q
nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything /
could eat that would agree with me.
The little l did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than 1t was worth. i
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was so little food
could digest, I was literally starving;
was so weak could not sit up long
at q time.
at was then O friend brought me q
hot cup Of Postum. drank part OF II
and after an hour l felt as though i
had had something to eat - felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Post
UNI in place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day can eat and
digest anything / want, walk as much
as want. My nerves are steady.
Il believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and l use 1t alto
gether now instead Of coffee" There's
o Reason"
