CHOP COKD1TIONS!
Portions of Alabama Badly in j
Need of Rain
FAVORABLE IN THE WEST
Progress of Cotton Crop Has as a
Whole Been Satisfactory—Com
plaints of Rust and Shedding
Are General, However.
Washington, August 12.—'The following
Is the weather bureau's weekly sum- I
mary of crop conditions:
Portions of Virginia, the Carollnas,
Georgia, Tennessee, northern Alabama, !
southeastern Missouri and the lower
Ohio valley continue to need rain and j
drouth conditions have developed to some
extent in portions of Nebraska, South
Dakota and northern Wisconsin. The
principal agricultural districts elsewhere
east of the Rocky mountains have ex- i
perienced very favorable conditions with 1
respect to moisture, with the exception j
of portions of the lake region, middle ,
Atlantic states and New England where |
too much rain fell. The temperature con- .
dltlons were favorable, accept over the i
northern portions of the Missouri and ,
upper Mississippi valleys, where It was
too cool during the latter part of the 1
week, with light frost in Minnesota and
eastern South Dakota, while some injury 1
was caused by excessive neat In Kansas
and Oklahoma In the early part of the
week. The corn crop has experienced an
other very favorable week and the gen- |
eral outlook In the principal corn states
continues promising. In portions of
southeastern Missouri and southern Illi
nois, the crop however, is suffering se- |
verely from drouth and rain would prove
beneficial In South Dakota and In a few j
southern counties in Nebraska. Date corn |
In Oklahoma and Kansas sustained some
Injury from excessive heat in the early ]
part of the week.
Spring wheat harvest is nearing com- \
pletlon in the southern portion of the
spring wheat region and is advancing
rapidly In the central and northern por
tions. A considerable part of the crop
In the Red River valley is still green
and is ripening unevenly.
Oat harvest is now’ practically finished,
except over limited areas In extreme
northern districts and while a generally
heavy crop has been secured, the quantity
in many sections has been impaired after
being in shock by rains.
With a general absence of rain in Texas
and scattered showerB over the central
portions of the middle and eastern dis
tricts, the progress of the cotton crop as
a whole has been favorable. Complaints
of rust and shedding, however, are quite
generally indicated and some premature
opening Is reported from portions of Geor
gia and South Carolina. Early cotton
Is opening rapidly and picking Is pro
gressing in Texas and in the eastern dis
tricts under favorable conditions. Unin
terrupted sunshine and high temperatures
have checked the ravages of boll worms
and weevil In Texas, but these pests con
tinue to cause considerable damage and
inundated sections In that state the crop
has been severely damaged and in many
sections ruined.
The condition of tobacco In Kentucky
Is only fair, but In Indiana. Ohio, Wis
consin and New England the outlook Is
more favorable. In Tennessee the crop is
short In dry districts but as a whole has
experienced Improvements.
The general outlook for apples continue
unfavorable except In Oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska, Michigan and New’ England. I
Plowing for fall seeding has commenced
in the Ohio valley and middle Atlantic j
states.

Catarrh
Is a constitutional disease.
It originates in a scrofulous condition ot
the blood and depends on that condition.
It often causes headache and dizziness,
Impairs the taste, smell and hearing, af
fects the vocal organs, disturbs the stomach.
It is always radically and permanently
cured by the blood-purifying, alterative
and tonic action of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
This great medicine has wrought the most
wonderful cures of all diseases depending
on scrofula or the scrofulous habit.

ORGANIZING FOR
THE STATE FAIR
SUPERINTENDENTS APPOINTED
FOR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS
INCLUDE PROMINENT CITIZENS.
DR. WHITE WILL VISIT IOWA.
Dr. Fulton S. White, superintendent of
the agricultural department of the state
fair, will leave for Iowa In a few days to
attend the great fair at Des Moines.
While there he will take notes of up-to
date features which may aid In giving
new Interest to the Alabama state fair
this year.
Dr. White says that there will are
about 80 county and district fairs in
Iowa, which act as feeders and pro
moters of the state fair. Many of the
minor exhibitions carry their exhibits
In bulk to the state fair, and the at
tendance there often reaches 30,000 per
sons In a single day. The new live stock
pavilion created at Des Moines the pres
ent year In a splendid structure of steel
and brick, costing nearly 150,000. The
Iowa legislature at its last session ap
propriated for that great fair about 318,
000.
Rapid progress Is being made with the
preparation for the Alabama state fair
to be held here In October.
The management Is considering some
of the most startling novelties that are
now before the country as free features
at the fair. None of these will be an
nounced for some time to come, but It
can be stated as a certainty that noth
ing equal to these attractions has ever
before been seen In Birmingham.
Entries of newspapers for the gold
prises are coming In each day, but the
list Is not yet filled. In placing adver
tising for the fair the management will
give preference to the papers that enter
the gold prize contest.
The list of superintendents, which Is
nearly completed, embraces the follow
ing:
Agriculture—Fulton S. White.
Cattle, Sheep, Goats and Hogs—Dr. A.
-II. French.
Horse Show—Eugene Fles.
Agricultural Machinery—W. C. Mc
Tyeire.
Merchants’ Displays—J. D. Collins.
Mines and Minerals—A. J. Reilly.
Horticulture and Floriculture—J. J,
Colmant.
Poultry and Pet Stock—H. J. McCaf
ferty.
The Press—Rufus N. Rhodes.
Woman’s Department—Mrs. J. B. Reid.
History—Thomas McAdory Owen.
Dairy and Dairy Implements—W. M,
Glass.
Speed and Racing—Eugene Fles.
Athletics—Professor Miles and Hill
Ferguson.
The machinery department, education,
negro work and forrestry have not been
filled and the management is now con
sidering names for these departments.
The fair management believes that it
has secured a very ample corps of as
sistants for these branches of the work.
Each one is an expert in the line select
ed, and each will give the necessary
time and attention to make a decided
success of each department. It Is ex
pected that the athletic branch of the
fair will develop some decidedly inter
esting features.
A large extension of the ground floor of
the main exposition building is now be
ing made, which will give an Increase of
nearly 3000 square feet of floor space. The
new live stock pavilion will be erected on
ground Just south of the machinery build
ing, and will embrace 9G by 112 feet. This
structure will provide for the proper ex
hibition of all kinds of live stock, and
will guarantee each exhibitor that his
ptock will be properly sheltered and
cared for at all times. The small cattle
sheds along the fence have been torn
down and all the other unsightly struc
tures about the grounds are being re
moved.
A large space for football or other ath
letic games will be cleared off directly In
front of the grand stand.

MEDICAL TREATMENT FREE
The British Medical Institute Offers
Three Months’ Service Free to All
Invalids Who Call at Its Office Be
fore August 13th.
Owing to the large number of Invalids
who have called upon the British Doc
tors at their office, corner Twenty-sec
ond street and Third avenue, and who

WAGE CANDIDATES
FOR LEGISLATURE
CHAIRMAN RANDALL OF WAGE
EARNERS’ CAMPAIGN COMMIT
TEE ISSUES AN ADDRESS TO
THE VOTER8.
The following letter has been addressed
to the voters of the county by the wrage
earners campaign committee:
"The campaign committee of the min
ers and wage earners of Jefferson county
have completed their ticket for the leg
islature and now present their selections
to the voters of Jefferson county for
their careful consideration.
"Mr. James H. Death of this city Is a
printer by trade and and ex-representa
tive of Jefferson county and his faithful
services and cleai} record is sufficient to
command the admiration and well deserv
ed support of the people for a second
term in the legislature.
• Mr. W. C. Cunningham is a barber by
trade and one of the best known citizens
of Birmingham. He Is also well known
throughout the country and is well qual
ified to fill the position to which he
aspires. We would like for those people
who get the names of the two gentle
men mixed to know that our W. C. Cun
ningham is not the well known Dr. R. M.
Cunningham, who is a candidate for lieu
tenant governor.
"Mr. James Diddell of Wylam Is a min
er who Is highly respected by the mem
bers of his craft. He Is an honest, con
scientious, Christian gentleman, and is
much admired by the people of his com
munity.
"Mr. Edward A. Veitch, who is from
one of the best known families of Besse
mer, Is well known and has a wide in
fluence throughout the county. He Is a
moulder by trade and will, we think
make a good representative.
"The policy of the gentlemen, If elect- i
ed, will be Jefferson county as she now
stands first, last and all the time, and !
they are warm supporters and friends of
the new constitution.
"A higher standard of education, com
pulsory in so far as state funds will per
mit, uniform text book law (books free to
children not able to buy), abolition of
child labor and two weeks pay for min
ers are some of the leading issues in the
campaign.
"While these measures may be para
mount, these gentlemen propose to rep
resent alike the best Interests of mer
chant, business or professional man.
"There is no question as to the com- i
petency of either candidate. Therefore. !
the committee does not know of any j
good reason why every business man In
the county should not support the men
who make their success and the develop
ment of the great resources of the Blr
mingham district possible.
"We believe that the interests of labor
and capital are identical, and the inter
est of one should not be antagonized by
the other. We ask for better wages be
cause shorter hours with good wages will
encourage industrial development, insure
continued activity in the commercial
world, better enable the wage earner to
devote more time to the education of his
little children, and Instead of being a
slave, develop himself into an intelligent,
happy American citizen, as was Intended
in the great declaration of principles
upon which this government was founded.
"The wage-earners of Jefferson county
represent about two-thirds of her popula
tion, and If we did not believe that we
are entitled to four representatives and
that they would represent every interest
of Jefferson county, we would not ask It.
"We expect to conduct our campaign
on an elevated plane, and from encour
agement already receive* have no doubt
as to the election of the entire ticket.
"H. JT. RANDALL,
"Chairman Campaign Committee.’'
There was an enthusiastic meeting un
der the auspices of the wage-earners*
committee at Mount Pinson yesterday.
Stirring speeches were made and the
vote for the w*age candidates In that sec
tion promises to be laige. Chairman Ran
dall said last night that he felt very sure
that all four of the candidates would be
elected.

SOUTHERN CLUB
HOUSE FINISHED
IT WILL BE READY FOR THE FUR
NITURE IN A WEEK OR TWO.
HILLMAN HOSPITAL AND MEDI
CAL COLLEGE.
Work on the new Southern Club la near
ing a finish. Almost all the outside work
has been completed and the painters will
soon lay down their brushes. The con
tractors, the A. J. Krebs company, say
they cannot name the exact day when the
building will be ready for occupancy# but
that it will be within the next week or
two.
This club building will be one of the
handsomest structures possessed by any
organization in the south. All the work
on the building has been done with great
care and the best of material has been
used. The Inside hardwood finish mate
rial was secured in Birmingham and is
not surpassed by any of the kind in the
country, the cost considered.
After the building is turned over by
the contractors the club will furnish it
without delay. Every room on each floor
will be elegantly furnished.
It is believed that the club will be in
Its building on or before September 15.
Work on the new Hillman hospital
building Is being pushed rapidly. Tho
A. J. Krebs company has the contract
Tor this building also. This structure
will not be completed for several
months.
The new Birmingham Medical college
which adjoins the Hillman hospital is
nearing completion. It is expected that
it will be completed and furnished by
the first week of October. The fall term
of the college will open during the sec
ond week of October, and before that
time all equipment will be placed in the
building.
CITY ITEMS.

Petitions In Bankruptcy.—Petitions
in bankruptcy were filed yesterday by
Walter Blackman and S. L. Warren of
Birmingham, L. Harvey of Bessemer
and Sam Brown of Birmingham.
Marriage Licenses.—Marriage
licenses were issued yesterday to E.

J. R. Hoimwood and Miss Callie Hun
nicutt, W. L. Holcombe and Miss Nora
Foust, and J. T. Grady and Miss Susie

Recovering.—Harry Atchison, who
shot himself In the temple, was much
better yesterday, and it is not ex
pected that he will suffer any serious
results from his wound. He stated
last night that the shooting was ac
cidental and that the pistol was fired
the second time In falling.
CHARGE BROKEN FAITH.
Officers of Chicago Federation of La
bor Gathering Evidence.
Chicago, August 12.—Officers of the
Chicago Federation of Labor met with
the employes of the Union Traction
Company and of the Chicago City Rail
way Company today and tried to per
suade them to live up to their agreements
and submit their grievances to arbitra
tion. In spite of the pressure the men
announced a programme that may result
in a general strike next Tuesday morn
ing. The refusal of the federation lead
ers to sanction a strike caused some bit
terness.
The union men set to work tonight to
gather evidence to support their charges
that the companies have broken faith
with them. This they will submit to the
officials of the federation In the belief
that it will influence their consent to a
strike.
Where There’S Smoke
There’s fire, the saying rune, and so ae a
general rule the saying bold* true. The
fire ia unseen, hidden, but the ascending
amoke makes its presence undoubted.
Similarly you
can argue f rom
i /•? eruption* of the
*' akin to corrupt
blood. You can’t
aee the blood, but
the pimples, Doila,
etc., which mar the
f skin surely indicate Impure
' blood. For this reason the
medicine which cures these
surface blemishes must cure
them through the blood.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery purifies the
blood, removes the waste
and poisonous substances
whicn corrupt It, and thus
cures diseases which origi
nate in impure blood, such
as boils, pimples, aalt
rbeum, tetter, eczema,
sores, and other painful
and disfiguring diseases.
"Golden Medical Dis
covery ” also increases the
I_I-lU-uv* activity ot the blood-mak
ring glands, thus increasing
the supply of pure blood,
rich in the red corpuscles of health.
"It gives tue much pleasure to testify to the
merits of Dr. Piercc'H Golden Medical Discov
en-,' writes Miss Anutc Wells, of Fergussons
YClis rf isle of Wight Co.. Va. "I can say honestly
and candidly that it is the grandest medicine ever
compounded for purifying the blood. I suffered
terribly with rheumatism, and pimples on the
skin and swelling in my knees and feet so that
I could not walk, I spent nbout twenty dollars
paying doctors' bills but received no benefit. A
yenr or two ago I was rending one of your Mem*
orandum Hooks and I decided to try Dr. Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery* end ‘ Favorite Pre
scription.' aud am entirely cured."
Accept no substitute for ‘ Golden Med
ical Discovery. There is nothing "just
as good ” for diseases of the stomach,
blood, ur.d lungs.

THE SCHOMACKER PIANO
occupies the hlchest position of any piano in the united world.
^jjy*** xae official Judges i893
THERE IS NONE OTHER LIKE IT.
It Is a grand in upright form—when you have a Schomacker, you get all
the benefits of a grand, yet save the space a grand would take up. It
has gold plated strings, which is a guarantee against rust or corrode, and
this one feature alone cannot be overestimated. The makers of this
piano offer $5000 in cash to any competitor who can duplicate the essen
tial qualities of this piano, without imringement.
Quality considered, the price is extremely reasonable. If you have
never seen one of these pianos, it will pay you to do so—it’s the object
of admiration and praise from every one wdio sees it.
During the month of August, we will include 25 (twenty-five) Scho
mackers with the 75 (seventy-five) others, which we will close out at
heavy reductions in price. The "others” referred to are Fischers, Kim
