Posse Follows In Car.

The sheriff at Dodge City was no.
titled and he set out in an automo-
bile with a posse in search of the
robbers, but as they nad several hours
start, 1t was difficult to find the trail.
In the bank at Ford City, where the
first robbery was made, one of the
safe blowers left his overcoat and nit
tens. Posses were sent out from Buck
lin and Dodge City.

Must Repair Wires.

Although many people heard the ex-
plosions, nothing was though of 1t just
at the time, and it was several hours
before the robbery was discovered. All
attempts to communicate with other
towns were unavailable until the wires
had been repaired. The sheriff at
Dodge City did not learn Of the rob-
berry until several hours after 1t was
discovered and the robbers had four
or five hours start
Continuing southeast the robbers
entered the town of Bucklin, and rob-
bed the Bucklin State bank there.
They drove in the town in the ma
chine, arousing no suspicion until they
had blown the safe open, jumped in
their car and made good their escape.
1t is not known the exact amount that
was taken there.

Leading to City-Drive

Dodge City, Kan-Expert yeggmen
travelling in a motor car robbed the
banks in two small towns, Ford City
and Bucklin, few miles southeast OF
here, In q manner for daring that re-
calls the early days when Dodge City
and the surrounding country was not
ed for sensational killings, robberies
and gun fights. Four charges of nitro.
glycerine were used in blowing up the
safe of the bank at Ford City and over
$4,000 was secured, which the robbers
carried away in their machine before
any attempt could be made to stop
them. They then went to Bucklin,
which is but a short distance from
Ford City, and robbed the bank there.
The exact amount that was secured
from this bank is not known.
No People on Streets.
The robbers entered the town OF
Ford City, twenty miles southeast OF
Dodge City, in Buick car, coming in
from the south at an early hour, when
few people were stirring on the
streets Before robbing the bank they
cut all the telephone and telegraph
wires leading from the town SO that
no communication could be had to in
tercept them in their flight later. They
left their machine a half mile from
town. In blowing the safe -four
charges Of nitro-glycerine were used
Nearly four thousand dollars was Sc

Dr.. Woodrow Wilson's Socks

DR.. Wilson is stumping New Jersey,
and in the course of recent speech he
said:
II purchased a pair of socks in Aber-
deem, Scotland, and do you know, those
socks have never worn out? / can't seem
to be rid of them. And 1 never did like
their color. But American socks! Well,
have purchased dozen pairs of them
since bought those Scotch hose, ,and
such is the nature of American goods
that my family is constantly employed
IN darning Them
The truth is, the American manufac-
turer cannot afford to put wool In his
socks. This is the yarn tariff: Under 80
cents a pound, 2711 cents a pound duty
plus SO per cent; over 30 cents a pound,
ss5k cents a pound duty plus 40 per cent
On yarn worth IS cents the duty would
be $50 per cent. No wonder spinners get
rich and knitters use shoddy.
Those who cannot afford to wear silk
hose must in this country be content as
rule with socks innocent of wool. The
average tariff rate on good socks Is nov
o5.75 per cent, and no mixed wool yarr

knitters are compelled to use shoddy.
The tariff has simply eliminated, so fal

" all good socks In this country, and Ger
tainly all cheap socks. That Aldricf
tariff is a dandy for the manufacture
and heavy tax on the consumer.

Mr.. Roosevelt and the Berry School

1t is much to Mr.. Roosevelt's credit
that he will spend all of tomorrow as the
guest of the Martha Berry school near
Rome. Ca This school was established
by Miss Martha Berry, and 1t is conduct
ed for the purpose of aiding the noun
tain boys in North Georgia to gain a
practical education at low expense to
themselves. It is school open to both
mountain boys and girls. and it is doing
great work.
Whatever any one may think of the ex-
Presidents politics no one can find room
to criticize the favor he will tomorrow
show to the Berry school. There Is lack
of ample endowment In that school, and
where Mr. Roosevelt gives 1t the benefit
of a hearty personal Endorsement the
hope is that the numerous friends Of the
school will see that an ample endowment
is provided. No school In the country is
more deserving. No school has an am
pier ZELDA field that had gone uncared
for until Miss Berry opened the door of
hope to the boys and girls in mountain
homes.

SHE WAS GAME
Young Woman Put In n wierd Order
But She Ate 1t

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A self-possessed young woman strolled
into one of the larger downtown cafes.
She spoke to the waiter in that decisive
tone which distinguishes the initiated,
and glanced over the French bill of fare
with the nonchalant air of a Parisienne.
"I'll have she began firmly, as she
plunged into the sea of French dishes,
"Tll have-let me see-Oh. yes. I'll have
pommes de terre, and little of that
frontage. And, garcon, you might as
we'll bring me cup of coffee"
The waiter gasped. He started to speak
but the young woman froze him with
one of those icy stares peculiar to the
thoroughly sophisticated.
And the order arrived-two kinds of ices,
boiled potatoes and piece of cheese. But
she ate 1t as If she had been used to
that sort of diet all her life
They say in restaurants. grill rooms
and cafes that It's quite customary for
guests to order boiled eggs and four va
rieties of stewed prunes when they really
want a roast of pork and apple sauce
The young woman's mistake was not un-
usual.
But still the head walters and the chefs
throw up their hands and, with many
gestures and with a perfectly good Swiss
accent. declare that the dear old langue
du France will never be stricken from
bills of fare as long as they have a
skillet or a rolling pin to fight the project.

No Cheap Lands In Missouri

Outside of st. Louis and Kansas City
the big fertile state of Missouri has ac-
tually less population than 1t had ten
years ago. Including the two cities
named the increase in the state in a de-
cade was but per cent.
The reasons for this small gain is not
due TO the liquor question. The trouble
extends to Iowa and all the other states
in the middle west. The lands in those
states have become high-priced. and the
man who desires to make new home for
himself and his family turns to Manitoba
or to Oklahoma or to Texas, and not
enough immigrants come in to make good
the loss of farmers by emigration. The
movement Is not ended and 1t will not be
ended until the states in the middle west
become industrial states to the extent at
This is the situation, and the truth at
the bottom of it. Even Alabama feels
the movement, for many of our farmers
hurry away to Texas and to Oklahoma.
Soon lands will go up in price in Texas
as they already have in Oklahoma, and
then the northern farmers will be turned
to the states in the southeast where
lands are still, comparatively speaking,
low-priced.
Missouri gained but 1860 people in ten
years. ST. Louis and Kansas City gained
In that time 1876, 40 inhabitants. The re-
mainder of the big state shows a popu-
lation about 10000 less than 1t had ten
Years ago. High-priced lands and lack
Of diversified industries accounts for this
City. Even the city of st. Joseph lost
population, and it was in the 100000 class
1t would be well for the lesser towns
IN Alabama to study the census figures
for Missouri. No small town can hold
its own hereafter unless its manufactur-
ing Industries are built up and multi
piled, Agriculture will not sustain the
smaller cities. Nothing will, short of
diversified manufacturing. This is the
moral of Missouri's official figures, and
It would be well to post them up in every
small town in this state, and in the big
ones also.

PEDESTRIANS DIET

From Physical Culture.
In the ordinary sense of the word,
Walter Payson Weston, the pedestrian,
is not careful eater. That is, he is not
dietarian; anything fried, however, he
avoids: nor Is he fond of most vegeta-
bles. Meat he eats only on Sundays, and
then 1t must be ground fine.
Weston ordinarily rises at clock and
takes the road before 5. He has two
breakfasts. At both he eats heartily of
poached eggs on bread and butter and
toast II he can get strawberries he
likes them otherwise he takes prunes
or sliced oranges. The griddle cakes, of
course, supply the body of the meal,
and give him staying power. while the
eggs yield the vital strength.
Occasionally he takes light supper,
hut ordinarily he cares for no more nour-
his automobile. Dundas Kinnaird, the
pedestrians chauffeur and trainer COM
bined, has instructions during the trip
to keep ahead of him one mile when it
was dark. four miles when 1t was light,
always waiting until he came up to make
fresh start. Weston would then take
from the car handful of graham
or an orange, a bottle of sarsaparilla, or
whatever else he cared for. Two or three
times a day he would be sure to ask for
an egg and milk, and cold coffee was
another favorite beverage.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
srissouri's Prohibition campniI


THE statewide prohibition campaign In
Missouri has waxed hot" said P. B. Ell
lington of Denver. IAN amendment TO
the constitution is proposed. It is to be
voted on in November, and II 1t carries
a staggering blow would be dealt to the
commercial interests and real estate
values of st. Louis. At least that is
what the business men of that city de-
clare, and one can readily imagine That
prohibiting the manufacture and sale OF
beer in st. Louis, to say nothing of the
wholesale whisky traffic, would be
serious thing In SO large a place. Pro-
hibition is never the sign of great big
city. l was In st. Louis recently and
everybody 1 met, and few, If any of my
acquaintance there were connected with
the liquor business, was strongly opposed
to the prohibition measure. In the small
towns and rural districts, however, pro-
hibition sentiment is very pronounced. |
do not know how the issue in Missouri
is coming out. If vote had been taken
year ago the statewiders would have
polled an enormous vote. They may even
do SO newt month. But the fact that
drastic statutory prohibition has been
failure in states containing large cities
makes me think that the proposition
pending in Missouri will be defeated.
THE people of Alabama have voted
down constitutional prohibition; Maine is
turning against constitutional prohibit
ton and 1 understand Florida will re-
ject an amendment proposition in Mo-
vember by an overwhelming vote. Mis-
souri, will hardly become prohibition
state at this time"

COMPANY IN LITTLEVILLE
Winifred kirkland in the October At


Company by definition comes from
abroad, invading our peaceful citadel
from some hillside farm or neighboring
village; within our own bulwarks we
are all too neighborly for any such
alien stiffness. Our streets are CHEEKY
with greeting. Among the younger fry
"Hello!" is the universal term of ac-
cost. "Hellol" some youngster yodels
to me from across the street, hello,
supplemented by the frank employment
of my baptismal name, sign and seal
of my adoption. We are careless of the
little formalities of Miss and Mr.. here
just as our gentlemen are careless OF
their hat-raising. Why should Little
Vile man endanger his head and his
health from false Difference to his
hearty, workaday comrade, woman!
From the older men, surely, twinkle
and grin are greeting enough with
out any up-quirking of rheumatic ell
bows; and as for the younger men, !
have a fondness for their method OF
raising the right index finger to the
hat brim, with smile that points In
the same direction.

New Lumber Company

THE Corey Lumber company, re-
Gently incorporated, promises to become
big enterprise for Birmingham" said
a man prominent in the business world
ALBERT Russell, president of the Man
chester Lumber company, operating In
Walker county, will be the president
of the Corey company.
THE new company has secured prop
erty in the city limits of Corey, lie
by ESQ feet, on the spur track of the
Birmingham Southern and on this
property will erect a large two-story
general building material house, where
giles, lumber and bull ding materials OF
other kinds will be carried. The lot
and building, 1t is said. will cost close
to $4,000 and will be the first In
dustry of Corey.
1.-The demand for such a business at
Corey was evident to the incorporators
of the Corey Lumber company and
they are preparing to fill the demand
for building material which will be
brisk for many months to come. ow-
ing to the great building activity in
Corey. At present there is approx
mately 100000 being spent for build
ings. and 1t is probable that an equal
amount will be spent in the next six
months. AS soon as the owners of real
estate at Corey begin to appreciate
the great demand there will be for
houses and stores 1t is expected that
all previous building records for any
community in the Birmingham district
will be broken. 1t Is estimated by
those in position to know that there
will be fully 5000 people living at Corey
within the next IL months, or about
1000 families. These people will need
many houses.
THE Corey Lumber company will be
fully equipped to do business on large

had lost what little it had. His father,
King Carlos. and the crown prince lost
their lives by assassination
England will hardly come to the aid of
King Manuel against clear indications
ais would not sanction any such course
on the part of the government they con-
troll, and no one anticipates English in
reference, or any other interference
against the wishes of the people Of Por-
tugal..
The prosperity that has attended re-
publican rule in Brazil and France, not
to mention the United States, has pro-
NOTED the growth of republican senti-
ment in Portugal. The country has many
illterates and it is not we'll adapted to
govern itself, but perhaps the people will
open schools and in that way the re-
public may be perpetuated.
Portugal is by no means weak or small
economically speaking. She has many COL
onies. At home there are less than $780,
600 of people. and in the colonies there
are over 100000. Portuguese East Afri-
ca is a valuable colony that England
| covets.
Spain, Of course, will not interfere with
the natural course of events in Portugal,
for that country is now in the hands of
liberals, who are at heart republicans.
Portugal has been rotten, but not con-
tent. and the people at last have seemed
to have had their way. The republic of
Portugal promises to become as well as
sured as that of France is today.

"POT.rED MISSIONARY"

From Answers.
Robert Louis Stevenson used to relate
the following amusing story told him by
a South Sea trader: He had been in the
habit of carrying all sorts of timed
meats, which the natives bought with
avidity. Each tin was branded with a
colored picture-a COW for beef. a sheep
for mutton and a fish for Sardnes 1t
happened that the firm which furnished
the mutton thought 1t good plan to al
ter its labels. that its goods might be
more easily distinguished from the others.
The mark chosen was the figure of a
frock- coated Stiggins-like individual in
chimney pot hat. The natives at once
came to the conclusion that the tins
contained potted missionary. and there
was great run on the new line of
goods.

A STRANGE GATHERING
At the Concert Rouge In the Rue de
TOurnon, Paris


William Armstrong in Ainslees Maya
zine.
There are hooks where the night COM
mences at little past 9. One of these
is the Concert-Rouge, in the Rue de
Touron. within call of the Luxembourg.
The Rue de Tournon was a narrow
chasm of silence when I reached the low.
faded building at which was the earliest
to arrive. Presently a fat man tumbled
out of cab, and then one by one, as
the light of the Luxembourg clock grew
brighter in settling darkness, the audi
ence came. Gentle, refined-faced peo-
pie, musical. some stamped with the
mark of the profession. Poorly clad they
were. but with the simple charm of a
taste not interfered with in France, when
sous have to be carefully counted.
The concert room was deep and broad;
in its center was a stage with places for
II musicians. and grand piano. Along
the walls wers the Inevitable mirrors,
without which the French mind cannot,
perhaps, realize even heaven as properly
furnished. On the back of each chair
was a shelf and guard to hold the tall
coffee glasses
In moment all had settled themselves
into that intimate silence which comes
only when those of an audience have long
been used to each other. With the be-
ginning of the music every man seemed
obliyious to his neighbor; day of toll
had merged into night of transcendent
peace, or of dreams to which that music
gave life almost tangible. Men bowed
their heads In their hands; women looked
with unseeming eyes beyond the four
walls.
But in that moment the whole world
held no richer group 1t was Beethoven's
Second Symphony. played by 16 musi-
clans, the seventeenth, a pianist, helping
out the score. Every man of them was a
first prize pupil Ct the Paris conserva-
toire; they played well. But to those
used to tone masses. which Beethoven
was not; to those used only to listen
when this man or that conducted-what
would 1t have meant? Perhaps traves-
ty. But l will only say this: To me
there was never before such an audience.

was chosen as the regular rehearsal
night, this action becoming effective
Thursday of next week. All the sing
ers are asked to be on hand at p.

o'clock.
THE Oratorio society is starting off
this season with genuine enthusiasm.
This is the society's second year and
earnest endeavor on the part of all
the members is to be the watchword.
We are going to try to make Elijah

The chief obstacle is the Fern mill.
