Scrofula
Is a disease as old as antiquity, and as
young as the newest born infant.
It has Infested the blood of humanity
from ancient times down to the pres
ent minute.
It is hereditary or may be acquired.
It appears in swollen glands, scrof
ulous sores, hip disease, bolls, pimples,
eruptions, and, as believed by high
authorities, even in the forms of catarrh
and rheumatism.
It can be cured by taking Hood’s
Sarsaparilla faithfully and persistently.
We know this, because Hood’s
Sarsaparilla has done it.
It will cure you if you give it a trial.
You should begin to take it today.
Hip Disease—"I suffered from hip
disease; bad 5 running sores; nsed crutches
and each winter I was confined to my bed
for weeks at a time. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
has accomplished a perfect cure— saved my
life. I have a good appetite and feel strong
and well.” Anrie Robert, 49 Fourth St.,
Fall River, Mass.
In Her Eyes-” My little girl had scrof
ula and sores appeared In her eyes. A few
bottles of Hood's Sarsujarilla entirely
cured her and she has neVcr had scrofula
since.” Mrs. Howard Pope, Alpha, Oregon.
N. B. If you decide to take Hood's Sarsa
parilla do not be Induced to buy any other.

THE GRAND LODGE
OF ODD/ELLOWS
Annual Session Begun in Bir
mingham Yesterday
THE ATTENDANCE IS LARGE
A Proposition To Make Birmingham
Permanent Headquarters of the
Order in Alabama Will Come
Up for Consideration.
The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of
Alabama convened In Its sixth annual
session In Magnolia Hall yesterday morn
ing with Grand Master Pepperman of
Montgomery presiding.
The greater part of the da^ was spent
In hearing reports and In the considera
tion of subjects of no general public In
terest.
The roll revealed the presence of dele
gates from nearly every subordinate lodge
in the State.
One of the. subjects to be considered at
thlp session Is that of making Birming
ham permanent headquarters for the or
ganization in Alabama. This proposition
will probably arouse considerable opposi
tion and there may be a lengthy discus
sion before it Is disposed of.

New Officers.
The officers of the Grand Lodge are
elected In November of each year by bal
lot and the vote canvassed In the follow- j
lng January. The result of the. election, j
held last November will be reported to the j
| Grand Lodge by the credentials commit- |
tee. The officers elected at that time are j
as follows:
For Grand Master, W. S. Lewis of Mo- j
bile.
For Deputy Grand Master, John Ellis
of Anniston.
For Grand Warden, Jake Burger of Bir
mingham.
For Grand Secretary, H. C. Weaver of
Huntsville.
For Grand Treasurer, J. C. Bowie of
Talladega.
A contest grow out of the election of a
Grand Warden, the returns from the
election held last November showing that
J. Burger of Birmingham had received
170 \*>tes, or one majority. It is claimed
that on a recanvass of these votes It was
ascertained that the names on the ticket
sent In by the Woodlawn Lodge had every
name but one scratched, thus reducing
Mr. Berger’s vote to 169. the same number
received by J. II. McKay. The delegates
from W'oodlawn claim that they intended
to vote for Mr. Burger. The contest oc
cupied considerable time yesterday, but
was not Anally disposed of.
In his report to the Grand Lodge ye
terday Grand Master Jacob Pepperman
recommended that Birmingham be select
ed as permanent headquarters for the
Odd Fellows of Alabama and that an
nual meetings be held in this city on ac
count of Its accessibility by rail from all
parts of the State. He stated that If this
were done it would result In a saving of
about $750 annually to the order in the
way of railway fares.
The Grand Lodge has a number of im
portant subjects to come before it, and
will probably remain In session until to
morrow'.
CONVICTS ESCAPE
COALBURG MINES
Burrowed a Tunnel to Moon
light and Freedom
WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED
The Escapes Were All Negroes, and
Rewards Have Been Offered for
Their Apprehension—Police
and Sheriff Notified.
Notification was received at the
sheriff’s office yesterday morning of the
escape of six convicts from the mines at
Coalburg prison on Monday night.
The escapes were serving sentences of
different numbers of years, some having
long sentences, while others were short.
They were:
Will Harsh, Bob Payne, Bob Nixon,
alias John Dixon; Charles Willingham,
Charles McSpadden, Frank Jackson.
The men effected their escape by hiding
in the mines when the other convicts
were marched to the stockade, and then
burrowing a passageway through the
earth to moonlight and freedom. They
did this tunneling in such short time
that it is believed they had been working
on their place of exit for several days.
There can be no doubt that the escape
was most carefully planned, and that the
men worked with a feverish haste when
they finally succeeded in hiding from the
guards apd getting a chance to do the
tunneling from the main passageway to
the mines.
The escapes were not missed from the
stockade until almost 10 o’clock. A quick
search of the mines brought to light their
manner of exit. Immediately a posse was
organized, and a search of the country
surrounding the place Instituted, but no
trace of the men could be found.
All who managed to work out of the
mine were negroes, and rewards have
been offered for their capture. The
amount of $60 each is offered for the cap
ture of Payne, Harsh and Nixon, while
$35 each is offered for the capture of the
other three men.
It is believed that some of the convicts
will make their way to Birmingham, and
the officers of the city and county have
been asked to watch closely for them.
CARNIVAL OF DANCES.
A Large Number of Tickets Sold for
Tomorrow Night’s Performance.
The sale of tickets to the Carnival
of Dances at the Jefferson Theatre to
morrow night is progressing satisfac
torily and the indications are that the
attendance will be quite large.
The Carnival of Dances, which made
such a great hit last winter, is to be
reproduced for the benefit of the local
Typographical Union, and the receipts
will go towards entertaining the dele
gates to the International Typographi
cal Union Convention, which meets
here in August.

AMERICANS HARD TO HIT
The Actual Control of Northern Pacific
Is Still Hinging on Time, With
Both Sides Claiming Vic
tory Anew.
London, May 15.—T» e Morgans Roths
childs and one or two other houses read
ily advanced loans yesterday at 6 per cent
in order to assist operators over the set
tlement. This action meets with approv
ing comment in the financial articles in
the morning papers, and Is contrasted
with the difficulty created by the policy
of other bands and money-lending Insti
tutions in withdrawing the usual facili
ties.
“If the latter are anxious to cause a
panic,” says the Dally Telegraph, “they
are going the right way to work.”
It is now asserted that but for the ac
tion of the Stock Exchange committee
for general purposes in suspending the
buying in rule the whole of the arbitrage
firms would have declared themselves
bankrupt as the only way out of an im
possible situation.
"This,” remarks the Dally Telegrah,
“would have been a death blow to the
American market In London, which as
it is hard to hit and the day of reckon
ing is still only postponed.
It is estimated that the corner in North
ern Pacific cost the arbitrage dealers and
the bears here nearly £1,000,000. The
affairs of one big operator whose difficul
ty of £40,U00 has already been ca
bled, was satisfactorily arranged yester
day by outside assistance on condition
that he resign after the settlement.
Improvement In London.
New York, May 14.—The Journal of
Commerce tomorrow will say: J. Pier
ont Morgan cabled his New York office
from London last evening that the situa
tion there showed decided improvement
and that he looked for still further im
provement. .
There were Indications yesterday, how
ever, of a more friendly feeling between
the conflicting Interests in the Northern
Pacific contest.
So far as the control of the Northern
Pacific stock Is concerned, the following
may be given oh the authority of certain
Harrlman interests:
“Kuhn, Loeb & Co. own a majority of
the stock as shown by actual certificates
Including common and preferred. Morgan
and Company own a majority of the
common stock. It Is possible for the pre
ferred stock of Northern Pacific to be
retired next January. Should this be
done the majority of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
would be wiped out, and Morgan and
Company would be In control. The an
nual election of Northern Pacific occurs
In October. Shmfld it be held at that time
and should present ownership be un
changed, the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Interest
would win, but should the result of legal
action, the election, be deferred until
after the first of January, Morgan and
Company would win.”
EXCITING GAMES.

The Taylor- School gave a picnic at

The Mystery Cleared Up By a Cow
boy's Discovery In a Valley.
From the Log Angeles Herald.
Santa Fe car 4849 had left a well-known
fruit packer’s establishment In the San
Gabriel Valley during the later days of
March of the present year, loaded with
select oranges consigned to a commission
firm in one of the great Eastern markets.
It was a bright, fre*h appearing car, with
all the modern colt storage appliances,
recently put In order for the frult-shlp
plng season, which was Just at Its In
ception.
Car 4849 was but one of a ponderous
train similarly equipped, loaded and des
tined. The journey had an uneventful be
ginning and had pngressed to a point
In the distant Rockies without especial
Incident:
Fur days the heavy laden train, manned
with a steady crew, wound Its way on
Its long journey ovet the Sierra Madre
and Sierra Nevada Mountains, up the
gradual slopes, eastbound, across the con
tinental divide, thro«gh numerous vil
lages, over sage brusl plains and sandy
deserts, faithful to Its mission and Its
destination. The great train, with Its
precious cargo of goldsn fruit, drawn by
double-headers, had tolled through east

New Mexico: It had climbed the rugged
stseps of the Rockies, plunged Into and
through the great tunnel at the crest of
that range, and started on Its flight to

sensational Incident of the journey tran
spired.
Car 4849 had mysteriously and strangely
disappeared. At Baton, a division station
on the Santa Fet that particular car, with
theirs, had been noted in the conductor’s
report and turned over to a new crew.
Strangely this car did not appear in the
train reports when Trinidad was
reached. The ill-fated car had dropped
from sight, as If swallowed up by the
earth, and its miraculous disappearance
could not be explained by the train crew.
The mystified trainmen were “called tip
on the carpe^’’ and subjected to a
searching Inquiry as to the whereabouts
and magical disappearance of No. 4849.
The bewildered conductor could offer no
solution of the mystery that surrounded
the lost car.
After many days of perplexity, con
fusion and annoying investigation, a
cowboy in charge of his herd reported a
strange discovery, which cleared away
the mystery. No. 4849 was lying at the
base of a precipitous embankment in a
thicket of underbrush, with its sides dis
tended. its roof bulging, and a confused
mass of choice oranges appearing through
the clefts of its wrecked outlines. The
car was lying on its side, dismounted
from its trucks, a mass of ruins, with
Its contents preserved by the crisp moun
tain air under a cloudless sky.
The train in its rapid descent at a
sharp curve had broken the flanges of a
set of wheels and the ill-fated car was
derailed.
Bumping over the rough roadbed and
tit# had detached the couplings at either
end and the disabled car rolled down the
steep embankment to the valley, hundreds
of feet below. The train being on down
grade, the rear section soon closed up the
gap, and by means of automatic couplers
had again become attached to the front
section, all unknown to the train crew.
Thus No. 4849 dropped out of account,
leaving its disappearance shrouded in
deep mystery.
Upon its discovery the cowboy was suit
ably rewarded, the train crew reinstated,
a; major portion of the cargo was recov
ered. and the shippers reimbursed.
The wreck of 4849 lies deep In the gorge
intd which it plunged, the monument of
one of the most singular accidents in the
annals of the Santa Fe road.
STEEL PLANT TO BE ENLARGED.
Inland Company Makes Large Increase
In Capital Stock.
An Increase In capital stock from 2260,
000 to 21,600,000 which has Just been made
by the Inland Steel Compaly of Chicago
is indicative of that company’s determi
nation to engage on a large scale In the
production of billet and bar steel Inde
pendent of the trust Open hearths, the
contemplated cost of f which Is 21,000,000,
will be erected soon either at Chicago
Helhts, where the company now operates
a plant, or north of the city,' President Q.
Herbert Jones of the Inland Steei Com
pany says:
"The Increase in our capital stock will
enable us to engage extensively In the
manufacture of steel In billets and ,bars
by what is known as £he ‘open hearth’
process. Our Initial output will be about
150,000 tons of billets annually. We will
not enter Into combination with the trust
In the East, but will confine our opera
tions to the states west of. the Ohio.
There Is a constantly Increasing demand
here In the West for the material we in
tend to produce, which demand Is largely
due to the prosperity now experienced by
the farming element. We will experience
no difficulty with the trust. In the first
place we do not compete with the truat,
which Is confining Itself exclusively to
the Eeastern trade, and la not marketing
Its steel In the form of bars or bllleta
The popular Idea that the trust controls
the output of steej in this, country Is a
mistaken one. It simply controls the out
put of steel In certain forms. We are
the only plant west of Pittsburg engaged
In the production of ateel in the form of
bars and billets for sale In thoae forms
to manufacturers. For catering to the
Western trade we have superior facilities
to Eastern factories. We are not obliged
to use the high grade ores requited in the
Bessemer process. Also, we have ah ad
vantage over Pittsburg In the cost, of
freight from there to the west.’f
JOE LEITER’S LOCOMOTIVE DEAL.
He Has Bought the Richmond Works
and Will Form a Great Trust.
From the Chicago American.
Richmond, Va.—The Richmond Locomo
tive works have been sold to Joseph
Leiter of Chicago. The price paid was
$3,000,000. The shops have been for some
time turning out from six to eight loco
motives a week. They gave employment
to 1600 men. John D. Rockefellor is one
of the syndicate said to be represented
by Leiter.
Young John D. Rockefeller and Leiter
wrere recently here. ,
New York—Contracts have been
signed for the formation of a corpora
tion which will consolidate all of the lo- 1
comotive plants in the United States out- '
side of the Baldwin works in Philadel
phia. The combined output of the various
plants which will be included in this new
trade combination is about two-thirds of
the total number of locomotives built in
this country.
A careful valuation has beep made of
all of the properties which are to be ac
quired and instead of selling to the un
derwriters a certain amount of preferred
and. as a bonus, a similar amount of
common stock at par, the cash paid in
will be at the rate of $110 for each share
of preferred, with the regulation com
mon bonus. 'Hie plan will be declared op
erative in a few days.
Interests identified with the Interna
tional Power Company were the promot
ers of this deal.
Standard Oil and Vanderbilt representa
tives are included in the transaction. It
was from the National City Bank, which
the Rockefellors control, that $2,000,000
was obtained as purchase money for the
Cooks Locomotive Works of Patterson.
The Richmond Locomotive Works were
purchased for $3,000,000 by the Interna
tional Power Company, this transaction
also being financed by the National City
Bank. W. Seward Webb, who represents
the Vanderbilts, was elected a director of
the Internation Power Company yester
day, as well as George H. Longbottom,
who was formerly president of the Rog
ers Locomotive Works at Paterson.

CATA HRH
A Constitutional Affection.
Sprays, washes, powders, salves, medicated /
tobacco and cigarettes, however long and persistently 1/
used, do not cure Catarrh. They relieve temporarily V
the inflammation in the throat and nose, and enable
Si to breathe more easily and freely, but the con- v
ual rush of impure blood to these parts keeps up .{
the irritation and ultimately produces ulceration of R
the glands, when the breath becomes exceedingly j
offensive and the soft bones of the nose are frequently
Mnml The catarrhal inflammation extends over
the entire surface of the mucous membrane, or inner skin ; the stomach, kidneys
lungs are often involved ; the whole system soon becomes affected by the rapid
absorption of poisonous matter into the blood, and the disease that you had hoped
to core with simple local remedies, assumes a dangerous form. •
X had Catarrh about 10 years, ana
tried during the time everything I could
[ tear of, but nothing did me any good.
At last I came to the conclusion that
Catarrh must be a blood disease, and
decided to give 8. 8. 8. a trial. I could
see a little improvement from the first
bottle, and continued it three or four
months, or until I was cared. Have
not taken anything for six years, and

I had Catarrh bo baa was entirely
deaf in one ear, and ail the inside
of my nose and part of the bone
sloughed off. The physiolans gave
me up as inourable. I determined to
try S. 8. 8., and began to improve at
onoe. It seemed to get at the seat of
the disease, and after a tew weeks’
treatment 1 was entirely cured, and
for more than seven years have had
no sign of the disease.—KBS. JOSE

Catarrh is a constitutional disease — a blood disease which is frequently
inherited, and only a blood medicine, such as S. S. S., can remove the hereditary
taint, destroy the poisons that have been accumulating in the system for years
perhaps, and restore the blood to a healthy and pure condition. The inflamed
membranes and diseased glands are healed by the rich, pure blood which is carried
to them, and the offensive discharges from the nose, ana the terrible headache and
neuralgic pains cease. Chronic cases of the most desperate character and apparent
