WRESTLING BILL
 CREATES INTEREST

Following the announcement that the Jefferson theatre had been obtained for the double wrestling match Friday night July b, between Peter James and Young Beel and J. K. Cutrer and Tony Owines. considerable interest has been aroused All four of the wrestlers are already here and in active training for the several bouts.
 Most of the wrestlers are well knou,n to the Birmingham public. Beel is the latest arrival. BeePs real name is Adolf w. Behn, and he halls from Hamburg. Germany. Here are some of the men who have engaged his attention: Fred Beel, "Americus" of Baltimore. Sharn Link, Jim Calvin, Young Parelli, Yohs Rossi, "The Russian Lion," and others. At Rockingham, N. C., Bee put the shoulders of Charles Hackenschmidt to the floor in 25 minutes. Hackenschmidt. 1t will be recalled, took part in bouts here several seasons back. At Jersey City recently Beel foored Mike Calvin with ease, and in Atlanta several weeks ago. he made quick work of Sam Breen and Charlie Olsen. both wrestlers of note.

called him a writer.
 At the age of 25 he published his first book. The plot was slightly com pleX, and in three places he referred to the sex problem. He was generally admitted to be an author.
 His third novel was a pathological study of the character of two women and contained two passages rather diff ficult to interpret. The critics grew warm in their praise and hailed him as a litterateur.
 Of his sixth book scarcely a reader could grasp the meaning: but on the cover was an inlay in four colors, and between the front and back were seven- ty-six words for which any one but a college professor needed a dictionary. He was admittedly genius.
 His tenth production was ostensibly a romance. The dialogue was sub1ec- tive analysis: the descriptions were dis- courses on pathological phenomena. eud neither the author nor the public Knew what the book meant, or what 1t was meant to mean. The press referred to it as the work of that eminent novel; ist and psychologist"

O[AMDALA LANDS
 S600O HANDICAP Great Colt Again Shows Good
 Form
IS STAR OF THE SEASON
Williams, Horse Got a Bad Start and Then Runaway With the Field and the Victory Was n Very
 Popular One

New York, July 9--tSpecial )-olam- bala, the gallant colt that has carried the colors of R. T. Wilson, Jr., to memorable victories, added one more classic to his record when he captured the $6OO0 Brighton handicap today at the Empire City track. Coming right back from a Suburban victory and with the credit of having equalled Broom sticks world record of 2:O2 4-5 for mile and a quarter, the Brighton vic- tory stamps Olambala as one of the stars of the season.
 Oambalas performance was worthy of a game colt. He allowed his rivals
 to have the track until 1t was his time to get busy. When that time ar rived the Wilson racer simply ran over
 his rivals. At the wire he had an advantage of five lengths and Archf bald was holding him under wraps
 The surprise of the stake was Hamp- ton Court, the outsider at 50 to l, gath ering in the place money. Hampton Court was five lengths in front of Car, who finished third
 The victory of Olambala was a pop ular one in several ways. The talent
 
 beat Olambala and when the layers posted 4 to as opening odds they
 were swallowed up in a rush by play CTS anxious to get aboard. The mem-
 ory brokers were busy acknowledging wagers from their customers on the Wilson entrant and the rush was so steady that when the bugle called the | field to the post 1 to was the best l price obtainable.

COLLECTION OF WEED SEED
Agricultural Station Sending Out sam
 pies to Educate the Farmers

From the St. Paul Dispatch.
 The Minnesota Agricultural Experiment station, through it's division of botany and plant pathology, is trying to edu- cate the farmers of the state to SOW only pure seed and in this way to aid them in a partial solution of the weed problem. A new method has been de- vised in preparing a weed seed collec- tion. Twenty-four different weed seeds are in each case.
 The case is seven inches long and five inches wide, and is made of cardboard In which "A s4-inch holes are punched. A back is pasted on, leaving "A spaces in which the weed seeds are placed. Glass is then passe partouted on both sides. The seeds are loose so that they can be shaken and examined in any position and the glass keeps the different seeds

----s4s--------- THE MINISTER'S SAMPLES
FellOw-Guest at Hotel Didn't Know
 What He Was Getting
From the Detroit News.

From the Detroit News.
 minister who had been doing mis- sionary work in India recently returned to this country for a visit. He was guest at a well-known hotel where every thing pleased him except the absence of the very torrid sauces and spices to which he had become accustomed in the Far East. Fortunately he had brought with him a supply of his favorite condi- ments, and by arranging with the head waiter these were placed on his table. One day another guest saw the appetiz- ing bottle on his neighbours table and asking the waiter to give him some of that sauce.'
 "Tm sorry, sir" said the waiter, but 1t is the private property of this gen tleman."
 The minister, however, overheard the others request and told the waiter to pass the bottle.
 The stranger poured some of the mix ture on his meat and took liberal mouthful. After moment he turned with tears in his eyes to the minister.
 You're minister of the gospel?'
 ''Yes, sir"
 And you preach the doctrine of ever lasting fire?"
 "Yes," admitted the minister
 "Well, you're the first minister I ever met who carried samples"

fact which accounts for the sharper com petition and for cutting of prices in some departments. What is true of iron is also true of copper.
 Production of copper metal has out run consumption, although 25 per cent more copper is used now than five years ago. Railroad tonnage is very near top notch taking the country as a whole and the outlook for agriculture is the har- vesting of the largest aggregate crops ever known. despite some damage to winter wheat and theatene injury to considerable area of spring wheat We are larger and richer country than ever and there is and has been no valid ground for the punishment that has been inflicted upon the stock market by the financial powers displeased be- cause they could not have their own way in everything.
 The foregoing tells the story of the stock market and affords an explanation for the stupendous shrinkage that has been inflicted upon prices. Nothing calamitious has actually happened. The injurious events have proved to be im- aginary. Those disturbing and distract ing features which have been so much talked of were absolutely lackig in sub stance when 1t comes to close analysis.
 The resumption of gold imports was quite a shock to bearish sentiment. It was something entirely unlocked dor. The idea that there could have been a readjustment of the international bala1ce so as to run in favor of the United States smacked almost of treason. It had been given out often and emphati- cally that the United S1ates was hope lessly in debt to the old world, and yet. here we see phenomenon of Europe ac- tually sending in the yellow metal to settle balances in our favor.
 Not only Is that the case, but the rec ords of the treasury department show that we were able during the last year to pay more for importations than ever before Manifestly, Europe has also been buying things of us and the signs are that there has been going on ,during the long decline tremendous foreign ab sorption of American securities, enough to more than counterbalance adverse tides.
 The death of Chief Justice Fuller was used as club to hammer the stock market. Wild-eyed spectators went about wondering what awful things might happen, now that the supreme court was crippled in its membership
 Not for a day or two did calm visit their troubled souls and then only when informed that it was in the power of the president to make appointments and con- vene the Senate in extraordinary ses- sion to confirm then-this without walt ing for the re-convening of Congress in December.
 Inasmuch as the Supreme Court recess will not be over until the middle of Oc- tober, 1t was finally decided with reluc- tance that the country might survive the lack of full bench q few weeks longer
