of years. At one side of the picture

Mr.. Harrington, the organizers of the
| board. At the other side was repre-
sented Mr.. Mcintosh making an attach

to the members of the board had a
great significance

discussion in Speech, song and story
the many strange and intricate
happenings co-incident with their

and are determined 10 get to the bot
tom OF the case.
The advertising mediums of this
city long ago cut off the 'BOnsetter' 3
advertisements and since that time he
has resorted to papers without the
city in which to fash his sensational
cures upon the public. Since that
time many cripples have come to him
from without the city and have been
left stranded here and in danger OF
becoming public charges.
\ quiet investigation of the Bone
settlers reputation prior to locating In
Superior has been going on for some
time, and as result some sensational
letters have come from Fond du Lac,
Sheboygan, Milwaukee and elsewhere.
From Milwaukee comes the sensation
al letter from the chief of police stat
ing that the "BOnesettern formerly
practiced III the Cream city, and while
there designated himself the "HindOo
DOctOr.n lie was arrested and for
two months was kept III jail charged
with criminal ofense. In Fond du
Lac, SO says the chief of police of Mil
waukee, the "Bonesetter" got into
trouble and the citizens made things
so uncomfortable for him that he re :
moved from that place.
The Sheboygan Telegram took
issues with the "BOnesetter' and a
libel suit promptly followed. In this
case after a long trial the jury found
that the 'Bonsetter's" regulations
was damaged to the extent of six
cents. All available information from
cities where the "Bonesetter' has
practiced tell the same tale and the
business men of this city have decided
upon "a cOursS of action that will not
cease until the facts are fully disclosed
By the large number of different
places in which the "BOnesetter" has
practiced it is easy to assume that he
is either as old as the Wandering
jew oi eISe uoSS HoL ldSU ioHS III ohe
place.
1t was stated at the me citing last
night that during his sojourn in this
city the "Bonesetter" has kept up a
reserve which is astonishing. 1t has
been as difficult to gain admission to
his presence as it was to that of Prince
Henry during His Royal Highness'
brief stay in this country. 1t is alleged
that it is necessary at the present time,
in order to gain admission to the
'BOnesetter's" sanctum to pass a card
i'll on a cripples leg.-Leader

ally considered that Thos. E. Lyons
will be city attorney. Silver Joe
Konkle is spoken of for city clerk.
He has the endorsement Of the Trades

John A. Hobe who was defeated for
the office of treasurer is expected to
be taken care of and is also candi-

We hear Il. H. Russell spoken of
for deputy comptroller.

not be made public before Monday or

Much Ado Ahnni mn "s ~

The printing of the Bible is the most
strictly guarded work In existence. a
fact which appears strange until we
reflect Oh the mischief an inaccurate
Bible might bring about. The kings
printers and the two universities OF
Oxford and Cambridge give to the
world all the Bibles printed In the
United Kingdom except some printed
by special license. A few years ago
the question arose whether the word
spirit In Matthew iv, /, and Mark /,
u, should have a capital IS, it having
been previously printed with small
one, and, although the word was obyi-
ousiy wrongly printed, 1t was not until
after the ruling powers at the universi-
ties and the kings printers had met In
solemn council that leave was given to
use the capital letter.
Nothing sanctioned by authority in
1911 may be changed without creating
something akin To revolution IL the
places where Bibles are printed.-Liv-

SHERIFF'S SALARY $4,000
The County Board at Their Last Meeting
Decided That lie Should Receive
Above Amount

At the last meeting of the old coun-
ty board Wednesday the salary of the
sheriff was fixed at $4,000 per year,
the sheriff to pay all expenses of his
office within the county out of his
salary.
The late decision of the supreme
court which determined the fact that
the sheriff of Douglas county is work
ing on a salary made it necessary to
retix the salary attached to the office.
Under the old law the salary of the
sheriff was fixed at $500. To one
cOgniZant of the business attached to
the office in this county the sum here
tofore fixed as the salary of the sher-
if would appear iudicrous, the am
cunt being insufficient to pay the sal

will be, it is understood, be incor-
porated within few days with capt

known business and railroad men are
said to be behind the new corpora

The opera house was built by the
Land & River Improvement company
in 1890 and has continually been under
their control from that date. John T.

decision the matter of raising the sal
airy of the sheriff has been discus sed

The Seaboard Air Line.

The Seaboard Air Line Railway is
to be built into Birmingham immedi-
ately. The joint committees of the
Board of Aldermen. to which its
application for franchise was referred,
voted unanimously last night to grant
this franchise and give the Seaboard
Air Line system a right of way into
Birmingham.
The action of the committees will
be endorsed by the full board at its
regular meeting, and perhaps at a
special meeting to be called within
the next week.
The people of Birmingham, like its
Mayor and Board of Aldermen, are
unanimous in extending q cordial well
come to this great railroad system
which desires to enter Birmingham
without asking anything except the
mere privilege of entering on reason
able and just terms. The right of way
OF the new railroad into the city will
damage no property. On the other
hand, it will have the effect of build
! ing up much real estate which has here
tofore been vacant. Indeed, the Sea-
board Air Lines coming into Birming-
ham will be of tremendous value and
benefit to the city proper and to the
Birmingham district, The Age-Herald
cordially joins with the entire COM
munity In welcoming this great sys-
tenn and in assuring It's officers that
they will have all they ask, which is
fair treatment.

Gen. Joseph Wheeler says he is not
going to the coronation of King Edward
but that he will go to Germany about that
time and witness the maneuvers OF the
Emperors troops, which will be far more
interesting to the general than being
cramped up in Westminster Abbey" said
an old friend of the famous Alabama
soldier.
Speaking of the coronation, Edward
has commanded the bishop of London to
cut his coronation sermon down to five
minutes This will he the briefest dis
course ever delivered on a state oc-
easion. At Queen Victorlas coronation
the preacher was allowed twenty min
utes. While the bishop of London Will
not be able to develop his theme In five
minutes the congregation will take 1t for
granted that he would have made a
great thing of 1t If he had not been lin
tied. The ceremonies will last for hours,
and the Abbey will be uncomfortably
hot Those In attendance will be glad no
doubt, If his majesty decides when the
time comes to have the sermon omitted
altogether or to have 1t printed"

Mr.. Littlefield, Mr. Champ Clark and
all the other congressman that Con-
gresham Thompson has brought to
Alabama in order that they may study
the negro at home and see the South
as it is, will reach this town tonight,
and they will spend an entire day
here. On Saturday they will be ac-
cessible, and these guests of an Ala
bama Congressman should be warmly
welcomed to this district.
Let them see the race conditions
Mr.. Thompson desires them to study.
The member from the Fifth district
says his own sectional prejudices were
removed or changed by personal OBJ
servation, and he hopes for like
happy result in. the cases of his pres
ent guests. Let them therefore see
the negro at work In the mines, at
the furnaces and in every shop. He
! is omnipresent, and there will be no
trouble in finding him, and he is earn
ing good money. And while they are
studying race conditions let them see
why indeed we need an Open Warrior
why, If you like, an Open Warrior
will help the negro by giving him more
employment and happier conditions.
There is not even now negro in this
district who cannot find employment.
All are at work that desire to work,
and most of them do desire work with
some holidays now and then thrown
in. Given an Open Warrior there
would be small opportunity for holi-
days, for we would then have to make
iron and dig coal in the service of tho
world round.

The Archbishop.

1.-THE Pope win probably delay making
an appointment for the vacant archbish-
opric of New York for several months, -
remarked Catholic layman, land in the
meantime nearly every bishop In the
country will be mentioned for the high
position.
1.-THE priests of New York city seem to
favor Bishop Farley. who was auxiliary
to Archbishop Corrigan. He seems to be
regarded as well equipped prelate, but
the chances are that some bishop out
side of the province of New York will
be chosen. 1t is safe to say that the Pope
will not make up his mind until he hears
from Cardinal Gibbons.
by the way, the recent letter of His
Holiness to Cardinal Gibbons was fine
tribute to the leading Catholics of Am
erica. In rejoicing over the spread of
the Catholic religion in the United States
the Pope says In the first place 1t is the
will of God. But he adds, 1t is due
also to your zeal and prudence.
