mission went into office I again asked for more men for prohibition work and more were given me.
 ''The Mayor and myself held a consulta- ton this afternoon and it was decided to add 12 more men to work in plain colthes All of these will be put to work on blind tigers. This makes a total of 24 men working on the prohibition situation. These should be able to handle it.
 "A fair sample of the work done by the blind tiger squad is shown in today's re- port. Ten places were raided today. Practically all of them were in the heart for hauling liquor through the streets unlawfully."
 Higdon Makes Statement
 'If any citizen will show me a deputy working for me that has a commission who has been guilty of non-performance of duty will take pleasure in prosecuting him, and wish the aid of any citizen who knows of such facts" said Sheriff Higdon last night.
 However, I am sure that all my boys are loyal and none of them have been guilty of this. I am still doing what I believe to be my duty. I have 20oo cases pending for violation of the prohibition law. What more can one ask?
 Tt is the old question of getting con- victions from the courts. I have per- sonally known of several cases in which my deputies testified on oath that they bought whisky or beer from the defend- ant and the jury brought in verdict of not guilty. Such cases as this are dis couraging.
 q will continue to do my duty as I have done in the past. Every day there are from three to fifteen arrests for violation of the prohibition law. If the courts would send the same proportion of these offenders to the mines as they do the craps shooters there would be con siderably less violation of the law.
 "I greatly deplore the unprovoked as- sault on MT. Barber this afternoon. I believe that it is is the worst thing that has happened in Birmingham for long time. The assault was nothing short of an outrage and those who perpetrated 1t should be dealt with severely"

Military in Charge.

Lisbon, Aug. 3O.-The military to-
day assumed command in Covllha,
where serious rioting continues, follow
ing Sundays election for members OF
the chamber OF deputies. The result OF
the election will never be known, as
the ballot boxes we're smashed and the
voting lists torn up. Count Covilha,
the government party boss" at Gov
ilha, and three friends were shot by a
mob as they were riding in an automo-
bile. They would probably have been
killed but for the police. The republic
cans continue to show gains, but the
ministerial majority in the chamber
will be safe.
Lisbon, Aug. 30.--Following the
lead of Premier Canalejas, OF Spain,
Premier Souza today ordered vigor-
Gus inquiry into the religious orders
in Portugal. Special attention will
be paid to the foreign orders, many
OF which, it is expected, will be ex-
PEELED.
The action of Premier Souza indl-
Gates q complete UNDERSTANDING oe
tween him and the Spanish government.
II will probable result in Il breach be-
tween the vatican and Portugal.
According to the leaders OF the anti
clerical movement in Portugal, the
country is suffering greatly from the
activities of religious orders, many OF
which, il is said, are purely CONNER
cial organizations, which have an un-
fair advantage over others in that they
are free from taxation.
King Manuel is believed to be
wholly in sympathy with the con-
tcmplated reform. He has had
special commission studying the sit
uation in Spain, and is said to have
become convinced that radical changes
are needed.

Death of Lady Erskine.

Glasgow, Aug. 30.-Although no
reason has developed for seriously
doubling the theory that Lady Margery
Gladys Stuart Erskine, whose decom7
posed body was found in the Scottish
Moors near Aviemore, Inverness, died
from exposure and privation, society
is today commenting on her broken
engagement to Hon. Arthur Broderick.
These hints 60 no farther than that
Lady Margery may have committed
suicide. The post mortem will probably
clear up the mystery. The fact tina,
the body showed that an ankle was
broken has convinced the police that
Lady Margery, who was OF a neurotic
tendency, fell while wandering on
the isolated mountainside, and was
unable to summon help. She had not
been seen since July 81.

THE MOTOR BOAT EMERSON.

The motor boat Emerson" man
uiactured in Alexandria, competed in
the western championship events at
Cincinnati for the middle west cham
pionship on Saturday, the boat being
equipped with q 100 horsepower
Emerson motor She defeated three
OF the western champions, each hav-
ing 25O horsepower motors. and was
headed only by the "Idlewilde, equip
ped with $50 horsepower engine
after having the misfortune to strike
rock and lend her wheel-thus win
ming the prize of 5000 cash and 5000
trophy. The little boat covered the
distance Of IS miles in very rough
water, in 40 minutes, Notwithstanding
her wheel being badly damaged and
the boat partly filled with water.
A special car will take the little
racer to Peoria to meet all OF the great
western champions on Tuesday. The
little Alexandrian looked very small
among the great Golethians, they having
several times the power. and from tele-
grams received and notices by the
press, she was the sensation OF the big
regatta and the admiration Of so, 900
people who witnessed one Of the great
est contests for speed and endurance
that the west has ever seen. The little
Alexandrian shot through the rough
rapids, sometimes leaving the water
entirely, and the cheers that went up
for the little boat would make some of
our people feel proud of their product.
When she is through with her cam
paigning through the middle west and
New York state, it is expected that
thousands of people will know that
Alexandria is on the map" and her
products to he reckoned with.

WHY TOMORROW IS A HOLIDAY

II OMoRROW is Dewey day, a new
day among American holidays.
There is Washington's birthday
and Lincoln day, Decoration day, Ad-
mission day, the fourth of July, all days
set apart by our country for special
purposes; days on which we recall
great men long since dead events that
happened long, long before any of us
were born But Dewey day is different.
If you Juniors yourselves can not re-
member the famous day when the sol
dier boys came back from the Spanish
war, some older brother or sister can,
so that it brings that time very close
to you and 1t seems almost as if you
had been there to cheer too. What
has the Homecoming of the boys" to
do with our Dewey day tomorrow?
The homecoming OF the American
soldiers meant the end of the Spanish
war, and the end of the war can not
be remembered without thinking of
those anxious days when all the United
States sat waiting, just before war
was declared at all, and then close on
the heels of the presidents declaration,
the news that Admiral George Dewey
was TO take command of the whole
squadron of the Pacific, proceed to
Manila and capture it for us.
If 1t is true that every man gets one
great chance in his life Admiral Dew
eys came to him then. He took it, and
what he made of it is now American
history.
Looking back over Dewey's life it
