RICH OSAGE BELLIES ARE
 LOOKING FOR HUSBANDS

If any young man in this community is looking for a pretty wife who Is in dependently wealthy. let him betake him self to the Indian village of the 101 Ranch Wild West, when it appears here on Frl- day, October 2S. There he will find a dozen wigwam belles of the Osage nation, every one of whom is educated in those essentials that go to the making of good wives and housekeepers.
 Their sole ambition is to have happy home. And they provide the home. All the other party to the nuptial compact has to furnish is the happiness.
 Only those who know how to plant corn and are handy with cattle need apply. Trifers looking for nothing to do but take the goldfish out for walk anG watch the butler open bottles will not be considered.
 These dark-skinned beauties from the northeast corner of Oklahoma are in are worth more money than any other settlement of human beings of the same number in the world for they are not only rich In farm lands, but have more than ss,0o0.O00 on deposit with Uncle Sam, on which they receive per cent interest In addition they lease lands having oil coal and gas deposits to the white man and get a revenue from this alone which amounts to $7O0 a year for each man woman and child of them.

VIADUCT MATTER IS
 STILL IN ABEYANCE

The local committee of railroad general agents, which has the question of via ducts in hand, Is expecting communi- cation within the next few days from Henry B. Spencer of the Southern rail- way outlining the opinion of the rail- roads on the viaduct report.
 The railroad committee forwarded im- mediately the report to MT Spencer, who has taken the matter up with the ex- ecutives of the various lines interested. Pending an expression from them no ac- tion will be taken by MT. Spencer, who is chairman.
 It Is confidently believed that another conference will be necessary before the viaduct plan is taken up again. The plan as outlined by the city in the report differed so essentially from the plan of the railroads that 1t Is not expected the council plan will be approved or ac- cepted as it now stands. The railroads. 1t Is stated, are not inclined to be tech nical about any feature of the entire ne- gotiation but an effort will be made to amend the city plan as 1t now stands.
 It is barely possible that the railroads will suggest that negotiations be post poned utnil the city secures full power from the legislature to close up the streets and alleys which are now in dispute.

MOBILE GRAND JURY
 CREATES SENSATION Condemns County Poor House
 and Revenue Board
  SCORES ALDERMAN INGE Recommends That Money Collected By the Road Commissioners Be In
 vestignted-Says That Poor
 House Is Unsanitary
SCORES ALDERMAN INGE

Mobile, October 15.-CSpecial. )-One of the most sensational reports ever handed in by grand jury of Mobile was turned over to Judge Semmes of the city court this afternoon. The board of school commissioners, Alderman H. T. Inge of the city council a practicing physician and prominent director of the local base ball club; members of the board of reve- nue and road commissioners and condi- tions at the county poorhouse are con demned.
 The grand jury calls attention to the dual position occupied by pr. Inge, serv- ing as a city alderman and surgeon for the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and recommends steps to be taken toward the alderman's removal from office. Tn the report the grand jury calls special attention to "the collection by the pres ent county commissioners of s5oO0 each year from the county funds for special services for the past three years. which we believe Is contrary to law. as they were in office at the time this bill was passed and we are advised no official is entitled to have his salary increased or decreased during their term of office. We would therefore, suggest proper legal steps be taken to have this money re- funded"
 Regarding the school board the report says that ''the Oakdale school plans were gone over by one of the best architects in the city and one who as far as the grand jury is able to ascertain Is un- prejudiced The plans and specifications are declared incomplete and unfinished in nearly every important feature. They represent a veritable fire trap"
 The report says the defects are too nu- merous to mention.
 The grand jury said the members had executive committee had met. upheld and readopted the plans and specifications. The report continues that if the mem bers of the executive committee took such action they are incompetent and deserving of the highest censure." The report further states that If the board g supervising architect submitted the plans as complete and in proper shape for the boards consideration, "he should be re- quested to resign forthwith"
 Concerning the county poorhouse the grand jury was also severe in It's crit icisms, sanitary and other matters be- ing condemned. The grand jury says. however, that the keeper Is not respon- sible and. does the best he can under the circumstances, but the keeper "can however, have rooms properly cleaned and food thoroughly cooked"
 Seventy-nine true bills were returned.

Indians have had parents able and will ing to give them every advantage of ed ucation. The girls with the 101 Ranch Wild West have attended western schools which instruct in music, art, needlework, dancing and other branches which are supposed to put the finishing touches for society and the home. They have made more progress in civilization than many of their aboriginal sisters in the north ern states.
 Owing probably to the isolation of their home land, however. the girls retain many of the curious customs of the orig inal children of the forest. They wear the old-time blankets, the brighter the color the better. and wear them winter and summer. They prefer their native moccasins and wear no hats at all over the abundance of long, glossy, black hair.
 The paleface who wooes and wins one of these Indian maids will never know the sharp prod of necessity. His bride will be an original American and she won't chew gum, wear picture hats or buy tailor-Inade gowns The baby will have an earning capacity from the day he Is born.

The amount paid to each h. dian varies according to how many have gone to the happy hunting ground and how many wee ones have come to take | their places since last pay day.

We have been making fine schedules since occupying our own line and the business volume has increased in accordance with that improved service. We anticipate that further Improvements will continue. The country through which our lines operate is almost new and growing every day. We have an idea that time will prove the section through which we oper- ate valuable to all Alabama. We think a large share of this states greatness will be contributed by the country we traverse"

INTEREST IN SALE
 OF GADSDEN PLANT

The railroads that enter Gadsden are very much interested in the purchase of the Southern Iron and Steel company of the Weller plant, which was announced a few days ago. It is stated that py the acquisition of the plant the purchas- ing company will be in position to work up at fine profit some extra materials and will be able to supply the railroads with bars and rods which have not been procurable here in the past.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Soul Kiss,

''The Soul Kiss was the attraction at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night. This musical entertain ment has been before the public for some time now, and is probably going the rounds for It's final appearance, but the quality of the company has for the most part been kept up very we'll and the performance last night was in most par ticulars as good as the original perform ance at the Jefferson theatre. The chorus last night didn't seem to be quite as well trained as 1t might have been, but the majority of the musical numbers were given in a pleasing fashion and the prin- cipals acquitted themselves in satisfactory style.
 Harlan Fox as Maurice, Olga Roller Hebrew. Agnes Finley as Cleo, Mr. Car rier as Mephisto, MT. Naughton as the man who finally wins Susette. Ethel Gill more as the dancer in the role made fa- nous by Genee, all appeared to advan- tage. and made good use of their oppor- tunities. Miss Roller has beauty, mag netism and very good voice. Mr. Car Tier sang well and proved acceptable as Mephsto. His sketch of an old time &C., tor was applauded. Miss Gilmore danced with grace and winsomeness. MT Fox, the Hebrew, got plenty of laughs for his drollerles.
 ''The Soul Kiss" has been looked upon in days gone by as something naughty. It seems now quite tame In comparison with certain of those later adaptations from the French and German which have made theatregoers gasp and open their eyes. The present edition of 'rhe Soul
 Kiss" is quite innocuous, the duration of each kiss being considerably curtailed, so that the palpitant periods are not such a wear and tear on the gallery gods.
