WILL TREAT STREET ID GET RID OF DUST Gadsden Authorities Will Try
 Asphalt Preparation IS SHOT FROM AMBUSH Prosperous Farmer WayIaid and Seri- ousIy Wounded-Leverett Run
 Down and Killed by Train
 Near BOaz

Gadsden April 0-(Special.) At the meeting of the city council last night an ordinance was passed for treating Forest avenue with an asphalt preparation that Is guaranteed to lay the dust and keep the street dustless for the space of one year. Petitions were presented for sev- eral other streets to receive similar treat ment, but these were referred to the street committee and will be acted upon as soon as a report thereon is had. The cost of treating the street with the patent prepa- ration is said to be much less than it would cost to keep the street sprinlSled with water. If the preparations proves effective it is probable that most of the residence portion of the city will have its streets improved in this manner. In mak- the improvement the street is first cherted and rolled, and then treated with the as phalt. Putting the street in condition is done by the city but the expense of the asphaIting is borne by the property hold CTS abuttfng the improvement.

A BoY,s HOLIDAY

The ardent controversy which has been waging in England and America concern ing the best way to dispose of school boys in the long summer vacation has prompted the Grand Trunk Railway sys- tenn to issue special publication giving suggestions and practical hints to par ents, as to what to do with the school boy during the months of July and Au- gust. The vacation camp is one of the solutions and the publication entitled. What shall a boy do with his vaca- tion?" thoroughly covers the ground.

 A. E. Walker, mayor of Florence, was in Birmingham yesterday. He was reg istered at the Morris hotel. Mr. Walker is one of the leading spirits in the new development of the Tri-cities on the Ten nessee river.
 Mayor Walker is campaign manager for Emmet O'Neal in Lauderdae county and is conducting a very aggressive cam paign. He reports that the Florentne candidate for governor will have but It. tie opposition in his home county.
 "Anniston will have another railroad before the end of this year." said J. J. Willett of Annston, who was in Sir mingham yesterday. We have positive assurance from the high officials of the seaboard Air Line railroad that they will extend their lines into Anniston from Jacksonville before the end of this year.
 "The company has right of way fran chises into Anniston and has already pur- chased s135000 worth of terminal prop erty in the city of Anniston. They would have completed this line some time ago but for the financial depression.
 ''The extension will be of great beneht to Anniston in a number of ways. The main advantage is that the ore mines that supply the furnaces at Anniston arc located on this road near Cedartown, Ga, and other points. The building of the Seaboard into Anniston will give our city three railway systems with four main line railroads operating in every direction. The Southern now has two main lines crossing there.'

and Captain Daily kicking both goals.

goals made by Waite, from the 81 and
A yard lines, both goals receiving gen
erous applause from the Yale crowd in
the stands. Syracuse played an up
to date game, short forward passes,
which went where they were intended
to, sharp tackling and clean handling
of the ball being responsible for keep
ing Yale on the defensive most of the
time. Yale made the first touchdown
in half minute and three plays from
the kickoff. Her second came from g.
finely handled forward pass from Daily
to Reilly, who lodged through the
Syracuse team for 90 yards, crossing

gramme and a field of entries that to-
tailed 13 in some of them, the first
annual field day of the Taftville Pi-
noch1e club was successfully carried
out on Saturday afternoon on the
Providence street grounds. A crowd
that filed the grandstand and lined
both sides of the field eheered the con-
testants enthusiastically but frequent
wind and sand storms that swept the
field interfered with the comfort of
both the spectators and contestants
Joseph Geer of Jewett City, an entry
in the jumps was the star of the meet.

Grant tried for feet after he had put
out his two opponents. He showed
fine form, but just failed to clear the
bar at the top height he tried.
Another event that stirred the par
tisans of the two competing teams was
the tug of war between the Pinochle
club team and Nolan's team. The Pr
nochle club team looked to have the
weight on their opponents and start
ed off as if they would gradually eat
up the rope ON Nolans team. They
took up six inches on Nolan's team in
a three minute pull, but the Nolan nve
had something left and with a final
heave they snatched the rope clear
away from their beefy opponents, win
ming the tug of war in minutes %

defeat of the Pinochle club five came
when their anchor tried to take up the

Infantile Paralysis.

DR.. Shumway Of the State Board OF
Health is reported to have spoken as
follows by Lansing newspaper man
Or. Shumway, secretary OF the state
board of health, states that the state
body, accepting infantile paralysis as
a communicable disease, is getting out
some literature on the subject.
"All municipal health boards will be
asked to file report of the number
of cases of this disease in their respec-
tive territories, under the same sys-
tenn by which the state body keeps
itself informed of the number of cases
OF other communicable diseases.
There are four cases of infantile
paralysis reported from West Branch
and Clifford, two cases from Deerfeld
township, Lapeer county; two cases in
Tuscola county.
The disease, according to DR..
Shumway, is gaining rapid Roadway in
the state, and only recently 1870 cases
were reported"
