CYCLONE
 VISITS WEST END
Wind, Hail and Rain Do Con-
 siderable Damage
BIRMINGHAM ALSO FEELSiT
Telephones Out of Commission-Pow- derly Car Line Out of Gear. Chairs Blown Away and
 Panes Broken.

Greater Birmingham was visited by a terrific rain, wind and hailstorm yester- day afternoon, and in the space of a few minutes nearly an inch of rainfall was recorded at the weather burean. While the rainfall was extremely heavy on South Highlands and in the business part of town, West End received the brunt of the storm. A young cyclone vis- ited this suburb and chairs were swept from porehes, screen doors torn from their hinges, windows smashed. chicken GOODS blown away, trolley and telephone poles snapped off, trees blown down, while a heavy shower of hailstones carpeted the ground.
 The Powderly line was put out of com mission for nearly quarter of a mile by the snapping of poles. The trolley wires fell across the rails and mixed with tele- phone wires, charging the latter and burning out number of telephones. It was necessary for passengers to walk several blocks and transfer
 Winds Course Reversed.
 
 But few residences in West End es- capped without some sign of the storm. In a number Qf instances heavy rocking chairs were blown as many as 30 and 40 feet from the porches. Tn one place the dining room windows were blown open and every part of the room drenched. The force of the wind was shown in the fact that the opposite walls of the dining room were wet on level with the win dows.
 The hailstones were of exceptional size some of them being nearly as lares as small hickory nuts. Several windows were reported broken by the force with which the stones struck them. One gar den which appeared to be in the very cen ter of the storm was completely covered with the stones.
 A peculiar feature of the storm was that the wind completely reversed it's course. It was coming from the east- southeast and after blowing hard for several minutes, suddenly stopped, and tfen blew back in the direction from which 1t had come
 Streets Were Flooded.
 Streets in the business part of town were flooded, the water at a number of points completely covering the streets and sidewalks. At Third avenue and Twen- tieth street it rose above the sidewalks and entered the stores there. At First avenue and Thirteenth street the water was exceptionally deep, and a veritable whirlpool formed at a sewer entrance The storm blew away quickly, and it was delightfully."- cool for the rest of the afternoon. A large gang of men were put to work on the Powderly line from Jeff ferson to Grady street, In West End, and regular service will be established this morning. The telephones are being rapid ly put in order, and will be all right in a day or two

BIRMINGHAM GETS
 ITS FIRST BALE

Birmingham received its first bale of cotton yesterday and 1t brought 15 cents It was shipped by Maddox Ss Elliott from Easonville, St. Clair county, and was bought by J. H. Arnold & Co.
 Last year the first bale received here came on August S1; but this year tho crop Is much later and cotton buyers were not expecting to see a bale before the last of this week or the first of next
 The statistics of Brminghams cotton business for the year ending August S1 will not be compiled for several days. The total handled at the congresses here is estimated at about 75,OO0 bales.

 Delightful HOuY'S Dream

The young men who are engaged in the business of building newspapers are given to dreaming. As they never sleep the dreams are of the day variety
 As it is an. innocent pastime that in jures no one, it should not be discour- aged. It is about all that is left to the poor fellow six hours after the autocratic cashier passes around the weekly appro- priation from the business office.
 But one of the dreamiest of the Bir- mingham Journalistic dreamers had a dream of a dream yesterday.
 Oh, it was joyful He had never con- ceived in his fancy anything quite equal to this peach of dream. It had so much of the evidences of material things-it was so real in parts-that the awakening was cruel in the extreme.
 By the mornings mail he received a letter from the office of the chief of police of Birmingham. It was in finely engraved envelope of that department of the city government, and was addressed in most courteous terms. Before tearing the seal he dreamed of his appointment to the position of sergeant or street guard maybe as special officer to enforce the prohibition laws. He fingered long and dreamily over the possibilities that might be contained in the creamy white envelope from the popular head of the police de- pertinent.
 He finally broke the seal with lingering spasms of delicious anticipation.
 The letter bore the autograph signature of the chief himself. He reveled for a time in the honor that was being crowded upon himself before reading the letter, which ran as follows:

LECTURE TOLADlES ONLY
Under the Auspices of the Ladies of the
Congregational Church.

Everybody should be present on
June 10 at the lecture to be given by
Mrs. S. ]. Whitman, as it will be an
able demonstration by one who knows
the scientific principles of good gown
ing, physical culture and etc. This
subject will be illustrated from begin
ming to end, for in order to be properly
gowned we must know the rudiments,
how to do away with the bodily OBJ
structions, namely, sunken chests,
round shoulders, big abdomens, hollow
waists and many other things that mar
women's appearance and ruin their
health as well. Every suggestion and
instruction will be given along the
lines of common sense. Physical cut
lure will be demonstrated in detail.
How to walk, how to stand, how to
breathe, for no woman can be fash
ion plate'' who doesn't know the
physical conditions that must be
reached before perfection in dress can
be obtained. Hip pads, bustles, ruffles
etc. never made perfect figure, but
have been responsible for many an
invaid's condition. Corsets will be
demonstrated scientifically. How to
corset the stout woman, why slender
women should be properly corseted,
young girls should be properly corseted
and corseting the elderly woman will
be dwelt upon in detail. There will
be display of live models of different
figures. This lecture will be both
interesting and instructive. Music
will be furnished by Miss Leo Davis
and others. No time, trouble or ex-
pense will be spared to make this event
successful. 20

BOOST AND KEEP ON BOOSTING
An Exchange Gives the Following Rules for
Becoming Popular

If there's any chance to boom busi-
ness, boom it. Don't be a knocker.
Don't pull long face and get sour in
your stomach. Hope a bit. Get a
hold with both hands. Then pull. Bury
your hatchet; drop your tomahawk; hide
your hammer; don't be a knocker.
When a stranger drops in, jolly him.
Tell him this is the greatest town on
earth; it is. Don't get mulish; don't
roast. Just jolly. All men like to be
jollied, always. So, jolly. Get pop
ular. It's dead easy. Help yourself
along. Push your friends with you.
Soon you'll have whole procession.
Be good fellow. Don't be knocker.
No man ever helped himself up
knocking other people down. No man
ever got rich trying to make people
believe he was the only good man on
earth. You can't climb the ladder Of
fame by stepping on other peoples
corns. They're their corns-not yours;
and tender. Keep off the corns. Don't
be knocker.
All men are not alike. Once in a
while you may find one who is very
much alike. But some are different.
You're not the only. There are others.
If you don't like their style, let 'em
alone. Don't knock. Walk right in
and make yourself look pleasant. You'll
get used to it. There's no end OF fun
minding your own business. And it
makes other people like you. Better
have others get stuck on you than get
stuck on yourself. Nobody gets stuck
on knocker. Don't be one-or two.
Be good.

MINING MAN IN LEAVFNWORTH
Congressman GouIden, of New York, Pays
a Visit to His Red Mountain
Mining Property

Col. J. A. Goulden, president Of the
Chelan Consolidated Copper Co. and
congressman for the 18th district of
New York state, arrived in town We'd
nesday and left yesterday morning for
Red Mountain to look after the inter
ests of his company in that section.
He is in the state in dual capacity,
to witness the formal opening Of the
A.-Y.-P. exposition and to attend the
annual meeting of the officers and
directors of the c. c. c. Co., which is
state chartered corporation with a
capitalization of $12, 1000, 900, and val
liable mineral properties at Red Noun
tain, this county, and also at Index, in
Snohomish county, including altogether
some two hundred claims. At the
Red Mountain camps two tunnels are
being driven, with three shifts working
night and day. One of these has been
run in over 1900 feet while the other
is nearly 800 feet. Several mineral
lodges have been cut, but very large
one running from 100 to 200 feet in
width and cropping out at the apex,
showing rich values, is what the COM
pany wishes to develop. This will be
reached at distance Of about 1000
feet and, without any bad luck, by the
first of next October this will be accom-
plished.
The board of trustees as at present
constituted and who were reelected
at the meeting held in Seattle last
Tuesday are as follows:
]. A. Goulden, Chas. V. Fornes,
Thos. ]. Higgins, Frank D. Wilsey,
H. G. Bristol, Eugene Sandheim, L. A.
Steyn, all of New York, A. L. La Val
lette, of Baltimore, and John S. Jurey,
of Seattle.
Development work is being rapidly
pushed under the supervision of Harry
G. Krollpfeiffer, of New York, and
Frank c. Buckingham, of Seattle, an
able and experienced miner.
Colonel Goulden visits this state an
nually and is deeply interested in its
growth and prosperity.

work seemed SO urgent that they were
working in ten feet of snow. Tho ii
was stated that lines for a new road
thru the Cascades were being run, but
little attention was paid to the matter
on Lake Chelan. Early in the spring
party of surveyors arrived here and
stated that they are under orders to
run lines for a proposed railroad along
Lake Chelan and up the Stehekin val
ley to Cascade pass. However, they
found the snow too deep for work at
that time and left within a few days
and nothing had been heard of them
since.
Engineer Healy was in charge Of the
party and he now says that he will
have another party of about forty men
here about June 10th and that they
will complete the surveys for the road
during the coming summer.

coming down the canyon. In some
way he was caught between the hand
car and pile Of ties, breaking one o
his legs and bruising him considerably
DR.. Elmer was called in to take care o
the injured man. He will probably bt
