Liquor Fight in Alabama.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 2.-Mar-
shaling their forces, the liquor inter-
ests of Alabama and probably of the
United States, moved against the
general prohibition law for Alabama
at two points to-day and from the
nature of the fight being made it
is known that the fighters have am
pie resources at their command.
In the United States district court
for the middle district OF Alabama,
Judge Thomas G. Jones, when the
bill was filed, issued formal order
directing the interested parties to ap-
pear January 7. The order only
means that usual court proceedings
have been followed and the plaintiffs
have the opportunity of arguing the
justice of their complaints in court.
The prohibition act is still rigid
and untouched.

Will Not Review Case.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The $685.
100000 fine case of the Standard O1l
Company will not be reviewed by the
supreme court of the United States.
This decision of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller to-
day.
The case came to the court on the
governments petition asking the
court for writ of certiorari to order
up the record in the case for a re-
view of the decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals for the
Seventh circuit by which Judge Lam
dis original decision imposing line
of $29,000,000 against the Standard
Oil Company for accepting rebates
from the railroad company was re-
versed.
In the supreme court the case turn
ed largely on the right of the court
to interfere in view of the fact that
the case had been passed upon by the
court of appeals, the government
contending for such, however, as a
right, while it was urged in behalf
of the oil company that the prece-
dents were all against such pro-
ceeding.
The action of the court consisted in
the announcement that the govern
ment's petition would not be grant
ed. The effect of this announce
ment will be to leave standing the
decision of the court of appeals,
which was adverse to the govern
ment and favorable to the oil COM
pany.
The courts announcement Of the
result of it's decision not to enter
tain the case was the barest formal
ity. No reasons whatever were given.
The chief justice simply announced
in so many words that the petition
for certiorari was denied.
Under this ruling the case will
now go back to Judge Lands court
for new trial in accordance with
the decision of the court of appeals.

Peach Trees Blooming.

Charleston, Jan. 4.-Two large
peach trees are in bloom on lot of
residence. near Station 2, on Sui
livan's Island, a rare sight for Srlli-
vans Island, and particularly so on
account of the mildness of the sea-
son. The soil on Sullivan's Island is
not generally very fertile, but still
the trees in question have reached a
good size. For peach tree to be in
bloom in January is a very rare sight
and it gives certain evidence of the
mildness of the weather this winter.

And this is the prize of the conflict,
Your love is my own.
When conquered, I still have endeav-

To arise and wrestle once more,
And complained not to any how For

Had smitten me sore.
But tits harder, dear Love, when my

Turns kindly upon me again,
To show a calm face. and from vulgar
Loud triumph refrain.
For I know, dear. since you are beside

the Union Pacific a 400-foot right of
way through from the Missouri river
at Omaha to the Great Salt lake at
Ogden. The same contention and
claims will, when brought before the
courts, secure for the Southern Pa
cific similar right of way from Og-
den to San Francisco, making a total
length of almost 1000 miles. At pres
ent, Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific tracks are in the center of a 100
foot right of way, and the court de-
cision gives these roads $50 additional
on either side of the track.
This is the tract which it is pro-
posed to park and which will, when
completed, be the longest park in the
world, although by no means the
widest.
Along the first 600 miles of the park,
that portion extending from Omaha to
Cheyenne, it is arranged to SOW the
ground in alfalfa, plant which be-
comes green very early in the spring
and remains so until late in the fall.
This soon forms a thick sward and is
better able to withstand dry, hot
weather than any other grass in this
country.
AS for trees, there will be double
line of bull pines, alternating with
elms. These trees will be planted
every two rods on the extreme edges
of the 4OO-foot right of way
Down the center of this parking will
run the double tracks, which are bal
lasted with gravel from Sherman Hill
Wyo. This gravel is disintegrated red
granite and the contrast of the red
band against the background of greer
grass and trees will be continual de
light to the eyes of the passenger.
Through the mountains there viii
be no attempt made to change the
scenery, but rather to preserve 1t il
it's original beauty and simplicity. Tn
dergrowth will not be cut out excep
from close to the tracks, and as fal
as possible the mountain section viii
be allowed to present itself to thu
eye of the passenger just as though
there was no railroad within 100
miles of the place.
There will be a special corps o
workmen who will have the care O
the park system, and to these mel
will fall the duty of keeping the parl
in good order.

Wood Used for Crosstles.

It is interesting to note the wide
range of woods used for crossties. The
preliminary report by the census bu-
reau lists separately 15 classes of
species. OF these the oaks are now
and have always been by far the most
important. The oak ties amounted to
more than 4S,000.00O, or 43 per cent.
of the total quantity purchased.
Next to these ranked the southern
yellow pines, with 100000, or 19 per
cent. of the total. 1t will be seen that
the oaks and southern pines combined
furnished nearly three-fourths of all
the ties bought by the railroad COM
panies last year. Cedar and chestnut
supplied more than 100000 ties each,
and Douglas fir nearly as much. About
100000 tamarack ties we're pur-
chased, nearly 3.50l0O0 cypress ties,
and, in round numbers. 5000 900 each
of western pine and hemlock Red
wood, white pine, lodgepole pine, gum,
beech. spruce and several other woods
were used in similar quantities.

bers of Their Own Race, Who
Caused Their Arrest.

FrNay afternoon Dan Johnson, Will

All three were locked up in the

Thus would l double my life's fading

For he that runs it well twice runs his

And in this true delight.
These unbought sports. this happy state

But boldly say each night
Tomorrow let my sun his beams dis

Or in the clouds hide them; have lived

SIMPLICITY,

II power were mine to WELD control
OF time within my heart and soul,
Saving from ruin and decay
What I hold dearest. I should pray:
That I may never cease to be
Wooed daily by expectancy:
That evening shadows in mine eyes
Dim not the light of new surprise;
That may feel, till life Is spent,
Each day tho sweet bewiderment
OF fresh delight in simple things
In snowy winters, golden springs,
And quicker heart-beats at the thought
OF all the good that man has wrought.
But may l never face a dawn
With all the awe and wonder gone,
Or in late twilight fail to see
Charm in the stars old sorcery.

When I remember something which I

But which is gone, and 1 must do
without
I sometimes wonder how can be glad.
Even in cowslip time when hedges
sprout,
1t makes me sad to think or ill-but yet
My days will not be better days, should
1 forget
When I remember something promised
me,
But which 1 never had, nor can have
now,
Because the promiser we no more see
In countries that accord a mortal vow:
When l remember this, 1 mourn-but yet
My happier days are not the days when
1 forget.

She planned the man whom she would

Should be both brave and good,
Full six feet tall, with curly hair,
Adept at saving wood,
Combining womans tenderness
With mans stern hardihood

His hair was red and straight.
He only made ten plunks per week,
Cared but for what he ate.
And yet she truly thought he made
A husband simply great.

De SERVINGS.

This Is the height of our deserts:
A little pity for lifes hurts;
A little rain, a little sun,
a little sleep when work is done.
A little righteous punishment,
Less for our deeds than their intent,
A little pardon now and then,
Because we are but struggling men.
A little light to show the way,
A little guidance when we stray;
y little love before we pass
To rest beneath the kirkyard grass
A little faith in days of change,
When life is stark and bare and strange
A solace when our eyes are wet
With tears of longing and regret.
True 1t is that we cannot claim
Unmeasured recompense or blame,
Because our way of life is small;
A little is the sum of all.
