While the fact has not yet received wide

lege is quietly lining up the forces OF its
alumni and friends for another big en-.
dowment campaign. The close Of the great
effort last winter raised 100000 In a few
months. This leaves the board Of trustees
free TO push into a rapidly widening edu.
~cationai scope and is enough for the i'm

the friends and patrons of GrinnerI sup
ported the whirlwind campaign makes the
belief strong that another $780, 900 VIII be
raised by the coming attempt.

Hitch May HaUe Occurred In Drennen Building Plans
However Copy of Agreement Was Filed Yesterday and No Direct Information Has Come From General Clark As to Change of Mind-Poster Says
 Only Two Stories

Following an almost positive announce ment that a six-story department store would be built on the northwest corner of Fourth avenue and Twentieth street for Drennen Co.,, a big poster bearing an announcement to the contrary, which was tackled up on the lot Monday is the source of considerable interest. The post CT announces that a ''two-story slSx4 scraper' will be erected and will be ready for occupancy January 1, applicants for room being instructed to see Louis ". Clark.
 From all indications it would appear that a hitch in plans has occurred, al- though there seems to be an element of doubt. Despite the announcement on the poster that a "two-story skyscraper" will be erected, an officer of the Drennen Co. stated yesterday that he had received nothing from General Clark directly which would indicate that the original contract would not be carried out and he added that the Drennen Go. would proceed with it's plans despite the announcement on the poster. General Clark is out of the city on a vacation, hence it was impossible to secure statement from him.
 An agreement between the Jefferson Ho- tel company and the Drennen Co. for the erection of the six-story building on the Fourth avenue corner has already been duly signed up by General Clark and

ROBBERS DEMAND
 THE BRIDGE TOLL
HIGHWAYMEN AT ENDS OF ENoN RIDGE BRIDGE GET PEDESTAL ANS COMING AND ooINe-THEY ESCAPE.

Considerable excitement was created in the vicinity of Enon Ridge and East Thomas last night by two highwaymen who made it their business to hold up every person who passed over the bridge spanning the North Ensley car line and the Frisco railroad tracks just beyond the Jewish cemetery.
 The matter was reported to the police, the informant stating that between [ and 8 o'clock several highway robberies had been committed on the bridge. It seems that one of the highwaymen was sta- tioned on each end of the bridge and pedestrians were caught going and coming. It was reported that the robbers were heavily armed and travel along the road between East Thomas and Enon Ridge was suspended until the authorities ar rived.
 One man, whose name could not be ascertained, resisted the highwaymen, and it was reported that he was badly beaten up and relieved of small amount of money. Several other robberies, it is stated were committed
 Inasmuch as the scene of trouble was out of the jurisdiction of the police, the sheriffs office was notified and Deputies Chew and Collier answered the call for officers. With all possible haste they rushed to the bridge of which the high waymen had assuemd control and on which they were taking heavy toll, but when they arrived they found everything quiet and peaceful and could find no trace of the robbers.

RIVAL PETITIONS
 60 TO MONTGOMERY

Two big petitions went down to Mont gomery yesterday, bearing the names of the friends and enemies of the commis- sion bill. George H. Estes left in the morning with a petition bearing about 150o names indorsing the commission.
 During the day those opposed to the commission were able to get as many signatures opposing the commission, and the petition was sent down on the after noon train.
 Some 10 or 12 of the new county ad- vocates, headed by G. H. Stevenson of Bessemer. returned to Birmingham last night. They simply stated that the fight for the new county is still on.
 J. w. Fain of the Retail Grocers asso- citation and a committee from the mer- chants mass meeting, consisting of John w. O'Neill, Roy Mccullough and others. will leave this morning for Montgomery to put in final word for the anti-trading stamp bill which they hope to pass both houses.

the Drennens, and for this reason the poster which has been put up seems all the more extraordinary. copy of this agreement was filed in the office of the probate court yesterday by an officer of the Drennen Go. for official record.
 It is understood that a suit is contem- plated in case General Clark does not proceed with his contract. The matter is the source of considerable speculation and General Clarks return to the city is eagerly awaited, as, until then, no posi- tive information regarding the improve ment of the Fourth avenue corner can be ascertained.
 The agreement filed in the probate court yesterday leases the proposed building to the Drennen Go. for IA years and six months, beginning August 1, 1910, and ex- tending until September 30, 1924. The rental for time until September 30, 1914, shall be at the rate of s25,000 per annum; i; from that time until September 30, 1919, $27. 800, after which the contract specifies that 1t shall be increased to $32, 800. It is stipulated in the contract that the building shall be of steel frame or rein forced concrete and shall cost not more than $1S0.00O.
 It Is also specified that if it is found impossible to secure loan for the con- struction of the proposed building the contract shall be null and void.

BAD DREAM s Caused by Coffee.

q have been coffee drinker, more or less, ever since I can remember, until a few months ago became more ana more nervous and irritable, and finally I could not sleep at night for was horribly dis turbed by dreams of all sorts and a spe cies of distressing nightmare.
 Finally, after hearing the experience of numbers of friends who had quit coffee and were drinking Postum, and learning of the great benefits they had derived, l concluded coffee must be the cause of my trouble. so I got some Postum and had it made strictly according to direc- tions.
 T was astonished at the flavor and taste. It entirely took the place of coffee, and to my very great satisfaction I be- gan to sleep peacefully and sweetly. My nerves improved and I wish could wean. every man, woman and child from tho unwholesome drug-ordinary coffee
 People really do not appreciate or realize what a powerful drug it Is anl what terrible effect it has on the human system. If they did. hardly a pound of 1t would be sold would never think of going back to coffee again. I would al most as soon think of putting my hand in a fire after I had once been burned
 "A young lady friend of ours had stom- ach trouble for long time, and could not get well as long as she used coffee She finally quit coffee and began the use of Postum and is now perfectly well Yours for health"
