The horse show committee appointed
by the Elks to arrange for a horse show
In Birmingham this spring has prac-
tically decided that it will be given under
a tent, as no suitable location can be
secured on which to erect the coliseum
which was proposed.
At a meeting held Tuesday night the
decision to use tent was reached, and
yesterday morning a committee meeting
was held to arrange for the seats. 1t was
decided that seats could be made and
erected here cheaper than they could be
brought to Birmingham with the tent,
and therefore several firms here have been
asked for bids for putting them up. These
bids are expected today.
Large Tent.
The tent to be used will be about 300 feet
long by $50 wide, and possibly larger. 1t
will be capable of seating something over
1900 people, and still allow a large ring
in which to show the horses. The tent
will be on Second avenue near where the
Elks gave the circus last year. A plot Of
ground large enough can be secured

PUNISHMENT WAS
TOPIC OF SERMON
A UNlvERSALlsT MISSIONARY
PREACHED IN COURTHOUSE,
AND DISCUSSED DOCTRINES
SUGGESTED IN CORINTHIANS.

The Rev A. G. Strain, a missionary OF
the JJniversalist church, preached in the
Circuit court room last night and he VIII
preach again tonight. He will leave Fri
day for Camp Hill and the Rev. DR.. @.
II. Shinn will continue the services over
Sunday.
Taking for his text Corinthians $40,
Mr.. Strain last night discussed the sub
ject of punishment insisting that its
purpose is good and It must be certain
and have an end Paul. he said, plainly
declares in the text that we shall all be
Judged and punished according to the
deeds done in the body.
Every wrong-doer. the preacher con-
tinued, will receive punishment in pro-
portion to his sins. God, in melting out
punishment to his children, is not gov
erned by the law of retaliation. He re-
ouires us to overcome evil with good.
Win he not do the same? Does he re-
auire men to live up to principles which
he himself will violate? The Good Ply
sician will adjust punishment according
to the different degrees of sinfulness, and
always administer enough to cure. The
common idea of punishment ignores the
fact that there are graduations corre-
spending to degrees in sinfulness. The
object of punishment is not understood.
1t is to result in the peaceable fruit of
Righteousness. 1t Is for our profit and
must have an end
And it must not be forgotten that all
Gods punishments proceed from love.
whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth."
The preacher illustrated this fundamental
principle about punishment. Underneath
II all is love and not revenge.
Is there any thing good in man If he
has TO be paid for being good? When he
saws he is trying to be Christian for
reward, to get another star in his crown,
or TO get to heaven. or to escape punish
ment which he needs and must have, is
he actuated by the Christian motive
love?
After the strong earnest words Of Mr..
ctroin remarks were made by the Rev.

Managers and Clerks Selected for Sec
end and Ninth Wards In Which
Second Primary is to Be
Held Monday.
COMMITTEE HELD NEE TING

There will be no second primary in Bir-
mingham except in two wards Of the
city, and in these wards only candidates
for aldermen who failed to receive the
required majorities In the first primary
will be before the voters. At a meeting
of the arrangements committee of the
city democratic executive committee last
night designations were read from Sam
uel ullman. Sidney B. Jones and DR.. r.
V. Mobley, as candidates for the police
commission, and they were accepted. The
committee then recommended that Gu
gene Flies, George C. Phillips and Dan
Donohue be declared the democratic
nominees for the commission, in addition
to Thomas Parker who was nominated
in the primary March 2.
In the second primary, called to be held
March 16 there will be but two voting
places, one in the Second and one in the
Ninth ward, as follows;
Voting Places.
Second Ward-Thornton's store, corner
of Fourth avenue and Eighteenth street.

T. RAINBOW.

Police Commissioners.
1t has been known for several days
that arrangements would be made where
by the matter of the selection of nomi-
nees for police commissioners would be
compromised, SO a second primary for
the nomination of these officers would
not be necessary. The committee met
Monday night, and for the reason that
no designations were received and it was
known that a compromise would be eff
fected, adjourned until last night.
No new candidates for aldermen can
announce now Last night was the time
limit for candidates to pay their en-
trance fees for the second primary, and
this was done by the four candidates for
alderman in the Second and Ninth wards.
From this it can be seen that the new
members of the police commission will
be Thomas Parker, Eugene Flies. George
Phillips and Dan Donohoe.
All of the members of the arrange
ments committee were present at the
meeting.
1t is probable that the new executive
committee will be organized some time
within the next week

ELKS DECIDE TO HAVE
HORSE SHOW IN A TENT

close to the center of the city and with
in easy walking distance of the cars If
it were possible to secure a suitable loca-
ton for coliseum it would be erected,
as one of the prominent members of the
committee stated yesterday that $4,000
could be raised in a few hours. The
trouble in securing a piece of ground
large enough for the coliseum, and at
the same time near the center of the
city, has prevented any further action be-
ing taken towards the erection Of
building.
May Have Coliseum Later.
Some of the Elks, however, who are
most interested. stated that they have not
dropped the coliseum plan, but merely
believe that it could not be erected in
time for a horse show this spring.
Chairman Phillips of the committee to
arrange for the show, stated yesterday
morning that Birmingham would have
horse show this spring If it were in the
power of human beings to bring one
here. Much important business will he
transacted by the committee this week.
