GETS THE REWARD
State Pays the Bounty for Discovery
of the Peru Coal Mine

a Lincoln telegram of the l4th
says: Auditor Barton had today
drawn the warrant for $1,000 to
pay A. y. Borst of Peru, the re-
ward for the discovery Of a vein of
coal in Nebraska, when be noticed
that the statutes require that the
governor shall certify the payment
of the warrant. This will proba-
bly, be done at once. The legisla-
ture appropriated the money to
pay Mr.. Borst for his discovery of
the coal mine at Peru, after COM
mittee FROM the house had inves-
tigated. the reward having been
offered in an old statute.-Auburn

HELD BY CHARMS OF PARIS.

Two princes, Souphanovong, son
Of King Sisowath Of Cambodia, and
Ouanilo, son of King Behanzin Of
Dahomey, are causing much anxiety
to the French minister Of the colo
MES. The young men suffer from a
violent liking for life in Paris, and
refuse to be educated and trained
in any other part of France. Soup
hanoVong absconded from his school
at Bandol, in the department of the
Var, and came to Paris. He is be-
lieyed to be somewhere in the capt.
tai, but no trace of him can be
found. Ouanilo fled from a Mont
pelier school, and has informed the
minister that he will commit suicide
if he is not allowed 10 reside in
Paris. The minister threatened to
cut of financial supplies, but Ouani-
10 replied that he would then become
a beggar in the Paris streets.

TOAD UNFRAMED BY PRESSURE
Proof of Creatures Ability to Com.
press Itself Within Very Small
Limits.

An experiment was recently made
in the elay-testing department of a
machinery company at Bucyrus, o.,
in which a toad was placed in a 90
ton brick press and was four times
subjected to a pressure of 1000
pounds without injury.
The question at issue was whether
such a pressure would kill the toad
or whether its ability to compress it
self was sufficient to allow it to come
out of the ordeal alive. The toad
was first placed in a lump of gran
ulous clay and the whole pressed into
ii brick. After the huge press had
done its work the solid brick was
lifted from the machine and the toad
winked its eyes contentedly, stretched
its legs and hoped away.-Popular

All Prices G Up

Hiawatha is in a buzz at pres,
ent oyer the increase in prices in
all commodities. Tuesday t b e
bakers met and decided to reduce
the size of the loaf from l. to If
ounces and to discontinue the sell,
ing of s loaves for y cents. 1t
was following the footsteps o
bakers everywhere. In the cities
the prices of bread aud pastries
are going skyward on account of
the high price of wheat and flour.
Thursday the restaurant keepers
met. Some were in favor of put
ting up the prices of meals to 30
cents instead of p cents, but they
failed TO agree. All considered
that to put up a decent meal at %
cents was doing the work for moth
ing and paying the expenses be-

FROM DARKEST AFRICA"

Strickland Gillian gives out this
news from darkest Africa, where ter
ror prevails in the animal kingdom !:
"a good deal of complaint is heard
among the native hunters since the
prospect of the Americans coming
has set us all by the ears. Ombanga
Nadda, one Of our solid citizens, de-
clares that he hasn't been able to
catch enough hippopotamus for a
mess in two weeks, that his gazelles
are holding up their milk, and that
lis whole family is practically with
out shoes. He says it will be a great
hardship to have this deadly foreign
cr come in and kill everything while
the feet of honest home laborers'
children are practically on the

BENNfRS SUSTA|NS
NORTH BIRMINGHAM
Refuses TO Enjointhe $4,000
Bond Issue
BLOW AT GREATER CITY
Chancellor Holds Greater Birmingham
Bill Observation-Disclosures
Birmingham to Sell
Its Bonds.

Chancellor A. H. Bennexs for a sec
ond time has held the Greater Birming-
ham bill, invalid BY an order rendered
yesterday in the case of the city of
Birmingham against the city of North
Birmingham, an injunction was denied
The city of Birmingham filed bill
several days ago seeking to enjoin the
city of North Birmingham from issuing
$4,000 worth of bonds which were voted
for on November /, and set up that by
an act of the legislature the city of
North Birmingham would become a part
sof the city of Birmingham on January 1,
1910 and that the bonds would be unload
ed on the city of Birmingham.
The city of North Birmingham replied
by answer to the bill that the act of the
legislature making the city of North Bir-
mingham part of Birmingham on jan
uary 1, 1910. was invalid and unconsti-
tutonal. City Attorney Thaeh for Bir-
mingham argued most strenuously for the
constitutionality of the act, while the at
torneys for North Birmingham were
equally persistent in contending that the
act was not valid enactment.
Chancellor Benners rendered a very
elaborate oral opinion, holding that the
bill had not been properly advertised and
was therefore a nullity. The result will
be that North Birmingham will proceed
to sell such bonds as were voted on al
the election as the council may deem
proper.
1t is understood that an appeal to the
supreme court will be taken at once by
the city of Birmingham.
Those opposed to Greater Birmingham
are feeling good over the two decisions
recently rendered by Chancellor Benners.

IA different Shaksperean and romantic
plays for run of 100 nights at the New
Amsterdam theatre and the Academy of
Music, New York, last season, a record
said to be unequalled since the days of
Edwin Booth.
The plays chosen for the Birmingham
engagement are considered by literary
construction in the English language
They are the plays in which Mr.. Man
tell has won his most notable triumphs
and it is expected that they viii be at
tended by large audiences.
The Mantell productions are noted not
only for the brilliant individual charac-
terizatons by the star, but for the beauty
whole, the splendor of the mounting of
the plays and the elaborate and histori-
cally correct scenic environment Mr.
Mantell is ably seconded by Miss Marie
Booth Russell, who portrays the chief
feminine characters. She is a woman of
much beauty as well as an actress of
great ability according to the critics.
Mr. Mantell and his company are now
on tour of the principal cities of the
United States and at the conclusion of
the season 1t is planned that he shall
start on tour of the world, terminating

CARMICHAEL SAYS
JEFFERSON is SAFE
Says WeakIey MiSIeads People
By Claiming County
MORROW PREDICTS DEFEAT
Several Bets Made Yesterday at Long
odds.-Amender Money On
County and State Can
not Be Found.
MORROW PREDICTS DEFEAT

News has reached u.s." stated Judge
John c. Carmichael, secretary of the
county anti-amendment committee, that
Judge s. D. Weakley and other amend
ment orators are stating on the stump
that Jefferson county will go for the
amendment by more than 1000 majority.
They are making capital of this claim.
Now, as a matter of fact the amend
ers have no chance in the world to carry
Jefferson county. l have not lessened my
predicted majority of 1000 and more by a
single vote. We are absolutely certain
OF winning in Jefferson, and every man in
same opinion.
I'VE will carry Birmingham by 1000
votes and we will come to the city with
fine majority
Hugh Morrow, who is one of the best
Informed men on conditions in the coun-
ty, predicts the defeat of the amendment
IN JEFFERSON. He does not predict a ma
Jority as great as that predicted by Judge
Carmichael, but he is positive of win
ming.
Col. o. P. Gaut predicts majority
against the amendment In JEFFERSON coun-
ty of between 100 and 1000. Marcus
Well who has studied the situation care
fully, figures the majority around 1900.
Those favoring the amendment and
predicting maJorities ranging from 1000
to 250O are very slow about risking their
money. Amendment money cannot be
found A well-known gentleman stated
yesterday that he would bet from $1,000
to 5000 that the amendment loses in
Jefferson, and another expressed will
ingness to risk as much as $4,000 on JEFF
ferson.
On the result throughout the state
amendment money is wanting, too.
Some time ago a well-known gentleman
expressed a desire to bet $1,000 that the
amendment will carry. Two brothers
took $500 of this. Yesterday one of
them offered to cover the other $500, but
the amender decided not to risk it. A big
bet was made yesterday. A well-known
defender bet 500 to $1,000 that the amend
ers would not carry more than five coun-
ties in the state. The amender in ques-
ton declined to wager any amount on
the general result.

intended as a denial Of the charge of
Col. p. G. Bowman to the effect that
the amendment was Matched in a secret
caucus in Montgomery just prior to the
call for the last session of the legisla-
ture, Is a matter of conjecture.
