ETNA LOSES VIOLENCE.

Catania, March 2S.-Reports from all
points in the district directly affected
by the eruption of Mount Etna indicate
that the violence of the movement
within the volcano is subsiding. The

Grasped the Possibilities.


When the Trans Missouri Dry Farm
ing congress was organized, John T.
Burns, then secretary of the Colorado
State. Commercial association, perceived
the causes behind the failures among
the dry land settlers and grasped the
possibilities of dry farming if the
proper methods were placed at the com
mand of the dry farmers. He saw that
education must be the keynote if it
would be effective in the upbuilding of
the west. The congress struggled
against prejudice until the third annual
session at Cheyenne, Wyo., when it
threw off all shackles of localization
and became an international movement.
A systematic campaign of education
was carried on and it resulted in bring
ing dry farming to the attention of the
leading editors in all parts of the
country.

Has Made Converts.

The Dry Farming congress gives the
farmer the knowledge he requires for
successful agriculture in the semi-arid
west. The principles of scientific agri-
culture are being carried into the homes
of the farmers. Dry farming has
made good in all sections of that
vast area between the 9sth meridian
and the Pacific ocean where rainfall
is limited md where irrigation is i'm
possible or impracticable. Because farm
ers who have followed dry farming
methods have succeeded by conscien-
tiously applying the principles of mois-
ture conservation and intelligent tillage
as taught in the literature Of the Dry
Farming congress, a great wave Of set
tlement has been started toward the
DakOtas, western Kansas and Nebraska,
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Okla
homa, western Texas, New Mexico,
Utah, Idaho, eastern Washington and
Oregon, Arizona and Nevada.
In these states and territories towns
are springing up on the sage-brush
plains and in sandhill districts, sur
rounded with prospecting dry farmers.
Dry farming has become a vital part
Of the economic development Of the ma
'tion. Because Of the Importance Of its
part in national development the eyes
Of the country viii turn toward Spokane

Educational Work Started.

Educational work among the settlers
of the west was instituted by Secretary
Burns at the beginning of the congress
and farmers everywhere were impressed
with the fact that dry farmers who
knew and practiced the fundamental
principles of dry farming were success
full. Demand for more education came
with the growth of the movement, until
today scores of letters are received
daily from all parts of the west inquir
ing about dry farming and asking ques-
lions about the problems arising in their
daily work

PAY DOG TAX Or
YOU CAN VOTE
ATTY.-GEN. HALL MAKES A RUL.
ING ON THIS IMPORTANT
POINT.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 29-Attorney
General Hewlette A. Hall has just
handed out a decision that unless a
man pays his dog tax he cannot vote
owing to the fact that the tax on
dogs provided for in the general tax
act is legal. He also construes that,
If man refuses to pay his dog tax,
although all others are settled and
paid up, he is still ineligible to vote.
The decision comes in the form of
a letter to Capt. w. II. Harrison, of
the comptroller generals office, in
answer to one written by him to
Mr.. Hall asking if man did not pay
the tax would he lose his vote and
if he refused to pay it would he also
be ineligible.
In the letter of reply Mr.. Hall says
that he bases his decision on article
Z, section ,, paragraph l, of the code
which says The general assembly
may, However, impose a tax upon
such domestic animals which form

tive of other property" .

Peach Blossoms In Sight

An Americus, Georgia, special tells us that a week of the present weather will fill the peach orchards of south west Georgia with blooms Buds are already peeping out and a weeks time will put the trees in full bloom And there are half a million of them in the Americus district.
 This should bring hope to the win ter weary, of whom there are millions cannot see the peach blossoms in or near Americus. but all can read about them. And when they read that the trees have escaped all injury and that an abundant yield is assured this should convince them that not only is spring near at hand but so also the luscious Elbertas that they had known in former seasons.
 The skies may be hidden by heavy clouds and the earth may be covered by great depths of ice and snow, but when a man in Wisconsin or Vermont reads about blooming peach trees in the south he will become convinced that winter is not to last always, and that spring is not far away. The blooming orchards of Americus are a promise that summer and it's fruits were not rendered impossible by an old fashioned winter and that all can snap their fingers at the weather clerk and Medicine Hat.

house

As The Birmingham News is known as one of the most valuable newspaper prop critics in the south it's change of owner ship is matter of wide public interest. The stock holding of the late Rufus N Rhodes, editor and founder of that paper, has been acquired by Victor H. Hanson and Frank P. Glass and their respective families. It was @ cash transaction Mrs Rhodes, executrix of her husbands es- tate, receiving in payment at the rate of $265 a share. The sale was negotiated on basis of s4Oo,Ooo for the entire prop erty.
 About year ago Mir Hanson purchased from Mr. Rhodes practically a one-third interest and since that time he had been vice president and general manager of The News Publishing company. At the reorganization yesterday he was elected president and MT. Glass was elected vice president. Both of them are newspaper men of thorough training. MT. Glass as managing director of Inc Montgomery Advertiser has achievedta notable reputa- tion. He is not only a finely equipped business man, but he is recognized among his confreres of the press as an editor of sound judgment and distinctive force.
 MT. Glass becomes the editor of The News, at the same time retaining his interest in The Advertiser. He will be cordially welcomed to the Birmingham al

Names Are Free in Common Law

The New York court of appeals recent ly discussed the right of an individual to choose his own name. Two Presidents exercised this right, Grant and Cleve- land, and the common man has under the common law a right to do likewise
 Some states have statutes covering the subject, but no one need resort to these statutes except as a matter of choice legal sanction and publicity. As a gener- al rule any man has a right to call him self by any name that pleases him. And he need not restrict himself to a single change.
 century, and they did not become heredi- tary until many years afterward. As rule they denoted a mans occupation or peculiarities. Many well known person. ages changed their names. Dante changed his name, so did Melancphon. and Rembrandt, and the grandfather of the Duke of Wellington, and so on to the end of long list.
 In short, a mans legal name is the name he becomes known by, and the man himself can oftentimes control this. No law commanded the adoption of names, and the common law puts no limit upon changes in names. Good pol icy and family pride, however, step in and a family name is rarely given up, The Christian or baptismal name is more frequently changed This is what Grant did and Cleveland also, and they did not apply to the courts or resort to a statute when they did it.

SHE'S "ALUMINrUM LAURA
Brass KnuckIe Mary Wishes to Be
 Known By New Title

From the New York Telegraph.
 In the future I wish my friends would please know me as Aluminium Laura Brass Knuckle Mary
 Laura Smith, known to the police as Brass Knuckle Mary, has decided to keep in touch with the progressive spirit of the times For long time so say the cops, she has smitten people with brass hand protectors, batting them upon the think tank dome, turret or cabeza, separating them from their worldly goods and then fleeing with the light and joyous bound of the chamois as it fits from crag to crag. The spirit of progress. however, has seized Brass Knuckle Mary. She has-according 10 the pillars of the law-decided that the brass biffettes are unhandsome, tarish, quickly corrode with a green verdigris that is unhandsome and insanitary, and even give the recipients of her atten- tions blood poisoning. Aluminium whacls- inets per contra, are light, tasty, pleasing to the eye except when stuck into ip, do not tarnish and leave no inconvenience aside from a dent in the coco. Therefore, witb coramendable enterprise and artistic spirit. Brass Knuckle Mary has made the shift to aluminium fin-guards.

NEW FIRE STATION
 IN COMMISSION

Last night the dedication of the Third wards new fire station company was grand success Speeches were delivered by the mayor, Fire Chief Bennett Sena- tor Hamburger of Mobile, Alderman Copeland and others. There were many of the citizens of the ward present to hear the speaking and inspect the new 5000 two-story brick fire station that is to be the pride of the Third ward
 The speakers last night made special mention of the fact that the new sta ton would fill long felt need, for the Fountain Heights district is confessed to have been without proper fire protection in the past. The territory had formerly been covered by Companies and 6, but on account of the hilly condition of the ground and the long runs it was hard to obtain satisfactory results.
 The new station is an ideal modern building, containing baths, library, read ing room, private lockers and every con- venience for the accommodation of the firemen The speech-making was pune tuated last night by fruit punch and slices of cake, which was furnished in abundance.

OFFICER KILLS NEGRO
Coroner Investigates and Found Brown
 Acted in SeIf-defense

Coroner Brasher held an investiga- tion yesterday into the killing of an unknown negro by Policeman Brown early yesterday morning and found that the officer shot the negro in self defense.
 The shooting occurred yesterday morning before daylight when Officer Brown was going from work to his home in Pratt City. At the corner of First street and Fifth avenue. South Pratt, MT. Brown noticed negro who acted queerly.
 Upon investigation he saw that the negro was in his bare feet and had a hat full of eggs. The officer put the negro under arrest and the fight fol- lowed which resulted in the negro's death and the officer shooting him self in the right arm.
 > The negro declined to become the officers prisoner and was going to use force to make an escape. MT. Brown ordered him to stop and drew his pistol to back up his command The negro turned and quick as a flash grabbed the officers gun. The negro seemed to have the advantage and was getting the gun from MT. Brown, but the officer reached into his overcoat pocket and drew another revolver with his left hand.
 AS he drew the gun from his pocket he fired at the negro. The man had anticipated the move on the part of the officer though and knocked the gun sideways, the bullet hitting the officer in the right arm. Mir Brown then fired three shots, all of which took effect, and the negro died instantly.

 NITS all in making an animal do
 nothing that is not natural" said
 A the old animal trainer nothing that the nature of the particular species goes against. You see, it's just like peo- pie training themselves for a special thing; doctors not giving pills for just about anything as they used to do when I was young, but each particular doctor doing one thing. That's because the doc toe can do that thing We'll and compara- lively easily. It is the same way with breaking animals. .'The trarer must know. first of all. enough about the habits of his breed to fit tricks to their need; he must not try to make an elephant climb, or a lion play the drum.
 Take seals for example: I don't be- lieve there is an animal act that makes people sit up and take more notice than those acts with seals, the fellows that catch hats, and balance big balls Those wonderful tricks that make the little girls scream with delight and get their mothers all excited are done on one simple prin- oiple-seals ca. fish. That's all there is to it, when you come right down to the truth.
 You begin with one seal, a lot of little pieces of fish, and a bit of string. You let the seal sit on his pedestal, which he likes to do-by nature; then you throw him one of the pieces of fish, and he natural ly and easily catches it. Next you tie a piece of fish on the end of your string and swing it toward the seal; he catches that, too, and you keep moving away from him and swinging the reward to him
