though number Of cases of the dis
eases have been reported i'm the Amer
lean colony in The past two days.
Physicians say the fever is transmitted
solely by VeTmin. The high price of
fuel has made bathing, never pOpu-
lar pastime in Mexico, rarer than
ever, so that many of the railway,
street car, taXis, coaches and other
public vehicles are infested with YER
min. This has caused the disease to
spread to the more well-to-do classes.
The mortality among, the lower
classes is very high, due to their
habits Of uncleanliness and to the
emaciated condition in which most of
them find themselves because of the
high price OF foodstuffs, makes it inn
possible for them to obtain sufficient
nourishment
Short of Medicine.
The stock of medicines in the city
is very low and such as are to be had
are so high priced as to be beyond
the reach of any but the richer
classes. The government announced
through the press this morning that
it Will take steps to force druggists to
sell what medicines they have at
prices possible for the people i'm gen
Cral. Medical attendance for a great
majority of the sufferers is out of the
question, due to lack of funds. For
the past week more than fifty bodies
a day have been taken out of one gem
cral hospital alone as a result Of the
fever. Unless drastic measures are
taken by the authorities, it is predicted
by physicians that the plague will
sweep the capital and neighboEing
towns during the first two months of
the coming year

The Bibb County High Claims Championship
 of State High Schools

Centreville, December 4.-(Special 1.-The football team of the Bibb County High school, coached by F, R. Campbell, has finished its first season in this line of sport and their record is such that it entities them to claim the football cham pionship of the high schools of the state. While they have only been able to get games with three high schools, these were defeated with ease as follows: Bibb County High 13, Perry High O; Bibb 3S. Montevallo O; Bibb 51, Autauga High Q. The following high schools either cam celed or forfeited to them: Pickens Coun- ty. Gordo and Shelby High.
 In addition to their high school games they played three games, which show them to be at the top of their class. They were defeated by the Alabama scrubs 6 to o, and lost two games to Marion In- stitute scrubs by the scores of 12 to 6 and 14 to 6.
 A great deal of the credit for this cham ponship team goes to Coach Campbell. When he took charge of the football squad last September there were only two players who had ever seen football game before.
 The following players get letters for this year: Thompson, s. Holman, Jones' W. Holman, Burdin. Edmonds, Griffin, E. Cleveland Chism, F. Faucett, Logan, Reynolds. Lee. G. Cleveland and w. Fau- cett.

Pensacola, Fla, than whom there are no better experienced judges nor fairer men extant.
 On the historic course at Letohatchie, where quail are found in abundance, some of the greatest dog races ever run on the American continent have been had. The trials at Letohatchie will be in charge of E. l.. Rogers, president of the club, who knows the course thoroughly and who knows where the quail are to be found
 Excellent mounts can be had at Lete- hatchie, and all who are interested in field trials. whether members of the club or not, are cordially invited to attend and witness the trials.
 The Paramount Film company has ar ranged with the secretary of the club to take a moving picture of the trials on the two best days, which fact will interfere in no sense with the running of the trials. The camera man will "eatch" the trials as they actually are.
 Eighty-two of the greatest pointers and settlers on the American continent have been nominated in the trials, and the con- test for honors promises to be this year
 exceptionally brilliant and spirited. All members of the club are urged to attend the drawing and annual meeting.

 In club batting Detroit led by wide margin. The Tigers batted for .26S for the season, getting more hits and scoring more runs than any other club in the league. Hughie Jennings crew scored 77S runs and hit safely 1878 times. The Tigers led the league in other depart ments also, including stolen bases, two- base hits, and base on balls. They were third in home runs, third in sacrifice hits and second in the number of games play ed They also led in total bases With 1857 over Chicago with ITO

 The Tigers proved to be the best hitters, run-scorers, base-stealers and almost every other thing. They were surpassed in few departments and it is considered strange affair why they failed to win the American league rag.
 Several former Southern league players ranked among the best. Derrill Pratt batted fifteenth, with an average of .29l Pratt was formerly with Montgomery and resides in this city Joe Jackson, the former Pel, batted ninth, with an aver age of .30S.

PREPARATIONS ARE COMPLETED FOR B|G THREE-M|LE RACE Six Teams Have Already Entered-AcipcO Is the
 FavOrite for Team
 HOnOrs

Preparations for the seventh annual
 three-mile road race of the Birmingham
 Athletic club on Saturday. Decem-
 Der H. are now completed and all that
 remains to make the affair a success is
 for the runners to prime themselves for
 the biggest event of its kind in the city,
 Over 50 runners already are entered.
 Tn former years the race has been 8
 decided success and from the indications
 at the present it appears that the suc-
 cess of the former years will be sur-
 passed. The best runners in the city are
 entered while several sprinters from
 other points in the south are expected to be in line.
 The race las. year was won by Locke
 of the Atlanta Athletic club. who is en- tered for this years race The Atlanta runner had comparatively easy time in winning, and although odds favor him to repeat his performance. several fast men already entered will undoubtedly give him strong competition
 Six teams have already entered. The University of Alabama will send a crack team, supposed to be the best team turned out by the Crimson in number of years. w. Jones and Rountree are
 making fast time in trials, and are count ed on by the Crimson followers. The B.. A. c. will also have good team, led by Laughinhouse and Gallant, both from Birmingham college, and two of the best runners in the district. The E. A. C., chances were slightly weakened by loss of Early but the gap will be filled by a capable substitute by Coach Brumage. Y. M. c. A. is also supposed to have a good team. Edwards and Stapleton are two fast men who should show well. Although the team is not up to the stand- ard of former years, many believe that it will compare favorably with the majority | of the teams.
 l Central High school will enter team, I but the composition is unknown. It is | the first time in several years that the | local High school has attempted to place a team in the race.
 l Howard college is expected to run well, | also Davidson has been showing well 1 lately and the Baptist followers predict a good place for Coach Caton's team. l The Acipico team, winner of last year s race, is entered with practically the same 1 team as won the honors last year. Henry 1 Beatty is an exceptionally fast man and will undoubtedly finish in the select class. ! The Acipco team will enter the race as | the favorite.
 1 Six men are on each team. The course 1 of the race will extend three miles | through the streets of the city. Officials ! will be announced later. Interest is fn- l creasing, and it is expected that over 7O l runners will be lined up at the start when the referee fires the starting shot
 Last year there were 65 runners com peting, but only five teams. The re-
 mainder were individual runners. Equal I ly as large a number is counted on for the coming race. All arrangements for 1 the racet are in charge of Coach tBrum- tage and Secretary Beavins of the B. c. A
