OF hearing the morning lecturer, Mr.

OF man, the breaking up Of the barrier
between the wealthy and the, masses
So much rdverse criticism had come
out on Mr.. Churchill's views OF the lat
ter day church influence that we were
pleased to have Inside the Cup" en-
dorsed from the Redpath Chautauqua
platform. Mr.. Kline in his talk says
the signs OF the times are as previous
to the French revolution, giving in
stances OF the evils of our great cities
and the great outcry of our mining and
manufacturing employs, instancing the
late catastrophe in the Colorado mines,
referring to that fine article in current
"Everybody's" by Mr.. Creelman, a
man who knows the issues, for further
information. The final scenes in Ed

DADEVILLE PEOPLE
 PROVE IDEAL HOSTS
Everything in Connection With Bend Centenary Passes Off With out a Hitch

Dadeville, July s.-(Special) )-Now that the Horseshoe Bend centenary has passed into history, and admitted by one and all to have been excellently managed and conspicuously successful celebration, the anniversary commission think it but just that public mention should be made of. the local citizens who did so much to help make it so.
 A matter of comment by all the visi- tors was the tastefully arranged decora- tions of the public buildings. business houses and residences in Dadeville which was done under the supervision of Mayor George c. Douville.
 The handling of the crowd upon the Highway, and at the battle ground, was delegated to Sheriff John H. Linen, who so disposed his deputies as to supervise the traffic and police the crowd of six or eight thousand that not a single accident occurred to mar the day, or was there made single complaint or rowdiness.
 For the pleasant entertainment given them, and many were heard to so express themselves. the distinguished visitors are largely indebted to Judge G. J. Sorrell, chairman of the entertainment committee.
 A truly remarkable undertaking was successfully performed by J. B. Ry- lance, chairman of the local transporta- ton committee, in transporting the hun dreds detraining here to and from the battle ground, 12 miles away.

CLOSING PRICES
 ARE HEAVY IN WHEAT
Government Crop Report More Adverse to Bulls
 Than Expected

Chicago. July S-The government crop report, which came today after trading in wheat was at an end. turned out even more adverse to the bulls than had been expected, although belief that 1t would be bearish acted as a weight all day. Closing prices were heavy, ss61ac last right Corn finished lie to ts@ssc net higher Oats. 1sc off to ssc up, and pro- visions varying from unchanged figures to a rise of 12o.
 Wheat speoulators in generally were D. 0Oc, 900 bushels too low in their guesses re- garding the government estimate of the total yield. Uncertainty. however, caused both side sto play @ waiting game. Re duction in bids from Europe led to some Encouragement on the part of the wheat owners.
 Government figures on the probable yield of corn were materially under what had been the general trade estimate. Bulls. however were active buyers. in- | fluonced partly through the arrival of Argentine shipments put of condition and partly through advices of irreparable damage from drouth and heat In Okla homa. Shipping demand was improved.
 Bears in oats anticipated the tenor of the government report, but were handi- capped by the strength of corn. 1 Provisions hardened because of higher prices for hogs.

RI PACIFIC IS LOWEST IN YEARS Persistent Selling of Va rious Gould Securities
 Feature of Market

New York. July s.-Persistent selling of the various securities which represent the Gould system of railroads at heavy recession was the outstanding feature Of todays stock market. Missouri Pacific issues, including the stock and per cent collateral and per cent convertible bonds, fell to lowest quotations reported in many years. some selling at absolute ly lowest records. The movement soon spread to Denver and Rio Grande railroad and Missouri. Kansas and Texas railway issues. ard later embraced other cheap transportation stocks. Incidentally Rock Island collateral bonds sold at a new low record.
 The usual market leaders were plainly inclined to break away from the spell cast upon the market by the depression in other quarters. Such stock as Penn sylvania and American Smelling were in demand at substantial gains, while others in the class reflected a firm undertone. London's markets were disposed to droop, that center showing no outward interest in the success of the French loan. The Bank of England got virtually all the gold from South Africa in the absence of anw competition. The Paris bourse was heavy, but Berlin's market was firm
 Bonds in general developed an easier tendency, owing to the weakness of the Gould issues. Total sales, par value, sl, S50,000. United States bonds were un- changed on call.

COTTON RECOVERS
 MOST ALL|TSLOSS Market Steadies After the Noon Close at Only 2 to 3
 Points Loss

New Orleans July S.-After display ing easiness in the morning sesison and a fall of to Il points, the cotton market steadied up after the noon hour and recovered nearly all of its loss, closing at a decline of only to 3 points on the new crop months. Buy ing late in the day was chiefly for the account of shorts who wanted their profits. This demand was met by only slender offerings. Bulls claimed that the market was sold out and oversold.
 The morning session saw lower
 market on the unsatisfactory June ex- ports of cloths from England and fair ly favorable weather and crop reports from the belt. Small exports abroad | served to call attention anew to the short time talk among Lancashire mills
 few sections of the belt complained of the lack of moisture, but these con- plaipts stimulated small buying.

WATER SITUATION
 SERIOUS IN OPEL|KA
Wells Dry as Well as Creeks and Water Famine Is
 Threatened

Opelixa. July s-(Special.1-The most
 serious problem that has confronted this city in many years is the threatened
 water famine. Owing to the unorece-
 dented drouth prevailing here for the
 past three months. wells are going dry
 and many streams have ceased to flow.
 The stream from which comes tho city's
 water supply has run very low, and the
 water if Is furnishing is totally made quate for the needs of the town, and
 should it fail to rain copiously within the | next few days Opelika would face a
 unique predicament.
 l The sprinlSling of the streets was dis continued three weeks ago, and now the
 city authorities have ordered that all l spraying of lawns and gardens shall stop I forthwith and that no water be used ex- | cept for the most urgent needs. The Renfro ice plant. which was supplied by l the citys water, has been cut off, as have I also the railroads. The water proposition | fere is growing distressingly acute and is 1 indeed a very grave question.
 | Many persons here are using mineral
 waters for drinking purposes and several gre contemplating skipping their supply 1 for domestic use from the Montgomery artesian wells. Should the situation not l improve in a short time this or some other expedient will become absolutely necessary.
 l The most immediate and eminent dan I ger that menaces the town is that of fire. I In case a serious blaze should originate | the city would be at the mercy of the ], flames. and it behooves every one, there | fore. to be over cautious with fire. l What plans, if any, the mayor and
 council have formulated to relieve the present crisis have not been made puh- | lie. There are several nearby unfailing 1 springs from which water could be- got ten by hauling, and this may be resorted | to as a last recourse.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July S.-(Special.) blowing to fears of curtailment in Manchester, the Liverpool market was sharply low CT this morning, particularly the near positions.
 Our market opened lower in response to the cables meeting further south ern hedge selling and liquidation which brought prices almost to the Recent level.
 Feeling among the local trade is more bearish than for sometime, as they feel that the crop has been stead fly improving and that the rain in Ar kansas last night has gone far to re- lieve the drouth in that state, leaving only Texas and Oklahoma, both oi which had some showers.
 We find a better trade demand al this level on the declines and we arc inclined to be of the opinion that the market should be bought against for ward requirements on a further decline
 Of course, general rains In Texas would to some extent modify this view but as yet we do not think that state has been thoroughly relieved

GADSDEN ACCEPTS
 DRINKING FOUNTAINS
Plans for Identifying City Considered by Council-Many Witnesses
 in Hill Case

Gadsden, July S.-(Special )-Plans for beautifying Gadsden were considered by the council last night. The body accept ed the offer of Col. R. B. Kyle to install two sanitary drinking fountains of the nonfreezing, bubbling type. Colonel Kyle said there should be at least 20 of these fountains installed. The council, hearing complaints made by the City Beautiful club regarding the abuse of the court house park, ordered better police protec- ton there. The Alabama City, Gadsden and Attalla Railroad company notified the city officials that 1t soon will be ready to pave it's part Of Forest avenue. It Is believed the car line will not fur ther oppose the improvement of Forest avenue. President Tolson suggested the establishment of a hitch yard for the benefit of farmers.
 More than 100 witnesses are being sum- moned to appear in the preliminary hear ing of Harmon Hill to be held before Probate Judge l.. l.. Herzberg Thursday. It Is reported that some sensational evil dence may be introduced. tending to show that an extensive blind tiger busl- ness was done in the vicinity of Keener, where the killing of William Tidwell took place. The question of self-defense will enter largely into the case.

The poultry and egg market is now especially brisk and frying chickens and hens are arriving in great quan- titles. Large shipments of eggs are also received daily and prices are steady. Butter and creamery products are in good demand and quotations remain stationary. The fish market Is heavily stocked. while the demand is only me- dium and prices are slightly reduced. Excellent catches are reported along the cost and some of the fisery com panies are said to be over supplied.
 The hide and tallow market Is now quiet and tanners are said not to be interested in the present quality of hides at prevailing prices.
