MORE FURNACES
 GOING IN BLAST SIoss Nc. 3 Will Be Blown In
 Monday PROSPECTS ARE FINE
The Four Local Furnaces of the sIoss- Sheffield Will Run Together For First Time in Two
 Years-The Market.

Vice President J. ". Mcqueen. of the aSloss-sheffeld Steel & Iron Co. an- nounced last night that the cornpany,s No. furnace at North Birmingham would be blown in next Monday. It has been undergoing extensive repairs for some time past and is now practically a new pig maker. The other three fur naces here-Nos. and ?, city, and No 1, North Birmingham-are in prime working condition and will continue to run right along. With No in opera ton the Sloss- Sheffield will have it's four local stacks in blast at the same time, and this for the first time since the spring of 1907.
 MT. Mcqueen said that the cornpany,s two furnaces at Sheffield would con- tinue in operation indefinitely, although one of them has been running without a break for five years When that faith full and long enduring stack does call for repairs. the furnace at Florence. which is in perfect condition, will then be put in blast The Sloss- Sheffield company has been running five of it's seven furnaces since early In the year and beginning with next week it will have six going and there will not be less than six for some time to come
 Out of 2S stacks in Jefferson county only about p may be said to be avail able and of the 25, IS are in blast and 1s will be in blast next week. By the latter part of the month the Republics No. ? at Thomas, which Is undergoing repaifs, will be relighted and by the nrst of November the total number in Jefferson county in blast will not be less than 2 Of the furpaces in operation all but two are running on foundry iron
 The Iron market grows stronger and stronger. The price is now Sl4 on a No basis: The Sloss-Sheffield which until few days ago was quoting s13.50 for last quarter delivery, has marked it's price up to sl4 and 1t Is quoting the same price for the first quarter of 1910.

7aft WiH Play G0H
 Dine And Make Speech

President Taft will play several rounds of golf on the links of the Country club, which are considered among the prettiest in the south. It is expected that he will make his best record while swinging the stick on the green side of Red Moun- tain.
 Fully as many people are expected in Birmingham November to see and hear President Taft as on the memorable visit of President Roosevelt. The entertain ment committee has asked the railroads to put on a one-fare rate, and local pas senger agents say there Is no doubt about 1t being granted. This will mean that Birmingham will be taxed to hold the crowd and the fair grounds will be lit orally packed when the President makes his speech.
 The committee yesterday morning made a brief and rough outline of the enter tainment It will begin with a banquet at the Hotel Hillman Tuesday night, breakfast at the Country club Wednesday morning, followed by season of golf on the links until Il o'clock. A grand military and civic parade will pass In review before the President at noon, and after luncheon at the Southern club he

IT WORKS. The Laborer Eats Food that Would Wreck an Office Man.

Men who are actively engaged at hard work can sometimes eat food that would wreck a man who is more closely con- fined.
 This is illustrated in the following story:
 T was for 12 years clerk in a store working actively and drank coffee all the time without much trouble until after I entered the telegraph service
 There I got very little exercise and drinking strong coffee, my nerves grew unsteady and my stomach got weak and l was soon a very sick man. I quit meat and tobacco, and in fact stopped eating everything which I thought might affect me except coffee. but still my con ndition grew worse and was all but wreck
 'I finally quit coffee and commenced to use Postum a few years ago, and am speaking the truth when say my condi- ton commenced to improve immediately. and today am well and can eat anything want without any bad effects, all duo to shifting from coffee to Postum.
 'T told my wife today I believed could digest a brick if I had a cup of Postum to go with 1t.
 we make it according to directions. boiling 1t full 20 minutes. and use good rich cream, and 1t Is certainly delicious"

500 Sign Petition For
 Snict Sunday Obseybance
Sheriff Hgdon Declares He Will Not Unless Warrants Are Sworn Out While Chief Bodeker Determined to Await
 Instructions of Police Commission-What Law Is

A petition received by Chief of Police George H. Bodeker last night lends veri- similitude to the rumor which has been current during the past two or three days that concerted effort is being made to bring about absolute observance of the Sunday laws in Birmingham, and whs- pered warnings which Sheriff Higdon has received would indicate that the great reform wave is intended to sweep the whole of Jefferson county; and maybe in the course of d Sunday or two man will run the risk of being arrested if he opens his mail on the Sabbath.
 It is known that a petition bearing the names of more than 300 citizens is in cir culation.
 Dr. John L. Parker's drug store, on the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, seems to have been the hotbed of rumors in the outset It was somewhat generally understood that Dr. Parker had been instructed to close up his place on next Sunday, but upon being questioned he stated that such was not the case although a great many people had called to find out about the matter.
 If the "blue laws were enforced to the letter there would probably develop a number of sensations. The law does not say anything about the chickens growing at daybreak, but the dairyman would have to content himself with milking his cows and saving the milk until Monday morning. the ice man would be forced to ignore the cries of the sweltering popu- lace, the Greek fruit dealer on the corner would be forced to close down., all parks would be closed for the day, man would be as guilty of buying a drink of soda water as he is now when he buys drink of whisky. In fact, about the only thing a man could do and avoid offending the law would be to crawl into bed and go to sleep. Under the law only the business of druggist is legalized, and no excep- hotels or restaurants.
 Under the provisions of section 7814 of the criminal code of Alabama and sec- tion 1094 of the city code every store or shop in Birmingham might be closed up on Sunday, exception being made of pre- scription counters under the state law and of cigar counters under the city law. The state law provides: "A merchant or shop keeper, druggist excepted who keeps open store on that day Sunday, must, for the first offense, be fined not less than $1o nor more than $2O. and for the second or any subsequent offense must be fined not less than s2o nor more than $1eo, and may be imprisoned in the county jail or sen- fenced to hard labor for the county for more than three months"
 The requirements of the city code are identical, except that exception is made of cigar stands
 But despite the fact that the law is very plain on this subject it is not

NEGRO HURLS AXE,
 PEARSON INJURED

William Pearson of 2515 Fifth avenue was the victim of an odd occurrence yes- terday morning. and is nursing two bad wounds as the result of an attack by an unknown negro.
 MT. Pearson is engaged in the work being done on the Martin school. Yester- day morning he stepped into temporary room in which the workmen on the build ing keep their clothes. He noticed the door was open as he started toward 1t, but suspected nothing wrong, thinking one of the other workmen had left 1t open. Just as he stepped in the door, however, a negro sprang up and threw an axe at him. It struck him on the head and cut gash and also hurt his arm.
 After throwing the axe the negro made a break through the doorway and suc- ceeded in making good his escape.
 MT. Pearson was removed to his home and his injuries dressed.
