Mss Edwards strm Alive.

Miss Nellie Edwards, wno was shot by Mrs. John A. Keiser last night at her home in Woodlawn, was still alive this afternoon but the physicians att tending her said there was no hope for her recovery. The wound has para lyzed her entire body. She was a good church worker at Woodlawn and had many friends, John KeiseF. the engi- neer on the Alabama Great Southern Railroad, came in from his run at an early hour this morning and Is great ly depressed over the affray. He states that his wife's mind was cer- tainly unbalanced at the time of the killing. Mrs. Kelser. appears to have had a good reputation as far as peo. pie who knew her will talk. That she was insanely jealous of Miss Edwards is not doubted, The remains of Mrs Keiser will be buried here tomorrow

 Bishop Wilson will preach. in the morning at Il o'clock. The love feast will be held from 9 until 10. It is thought that the appointments will be made sometime, Monday and the con ference wifi adjourn.
 Dr. S. M. Hosmer, President of the Southern University of Greensboro, ar- rived today as a visitor to the confer ence. Before his election to the pres idency of that school he was member of the North Alabama Conference.
 Hon. I. W. Hill, Superintendent of Education; W. W. Brandon, Adjutant General; John R. Mccain, State Land Agent, and Prof. W. F. Feagin, of the State School Board of Examiners, are visitors to the Conference.
 A study of the men who compose the North Alabama Conference now in session in this city is of more than passing interest. One can usually tell Methodist minister when he sees him. He is different from his brother of an- other church. He is an aggressive man; you seldom see him walking down the street with his hands crossed be- hind and eyes cast downward. He moves with a firm, vigorous step, eyes straight ahead, and it is evident that he Is going somewhere. This aggress- i've spirit Is carried into the conference; every man speaks with all the force of words and feeling at his command, and you must listen, for he impresses his personality upon all in the range Of his voice.
 In the 300 and over delegates and visitors to the conference, never saw so many clean -shaven men with broad foreheads and square jaws, and mouths that are fine. Their very appearance expresses the determination and az gressiveness that characterlzes every movement They combat each other upon the floor in a manner such as if life itself depended upon 1t, but when the question is settled every shoulder Is together and that strong body of determined men moves on.
 On Thanksgiving Day two of the strongest churchmen in the United States occupied the platform-Bishop Wilson and Bishop Galloway Bishop Wilson has passed the three score and 1 ten mark, but is as vigorous and force- ful as a man who has just reached the zenith of his physical manhood. He may be weak in body, but his mental strength has not a peer. Bishop Gal loway declared him the strongest preacher in the world. dare not dis credit this statement, for surely never heard a man who could send out words with such clean cut edges, that went 1 straight to every man with all the force that was behind them--a force which came from a heart ahre with zeal and a mind with the power and courage to send 1t forth

 Bundidge, Nov. 26.-(Special. J. Mrs. Frazer of Auburn, Ala, who has been here a week, preparing for her play, Mrs. wiggins of Poverty Row left this morning for Elba, Ala. where she will fill an engagement. Last night at Academy Hall a crowded house greeted her and the local talent that assisted her.
 With the stage settings here 1t is next to impossible to do justice to an extravaganza of the scope of Poverty Row." leaving the impression that some of the parts were overdone. Mrs. Frazer. however, sustained the repu- tRtion that had preceded her, of be- ing an actress of more than ordinary ability Considering the short time for training, her support was extraor- dinary good and contributed much to the success of the play. It Is impos- sible for want of space, to mention each one. but all aid admirably. It is generally conceded that 1t was among the best attractions that has been here in a long time. Everybody was well pleased, Mrs. Frazer captured the people and should she ever appear here again. there will not be standing room in the house.

 As will be remembered there was some talk followed the speech or MT. HefIin in which he made references to the throwing of a bomb under the table of the president and Booker T.. Washington, that the remark would De recalled and the seat in congress pro- tested. Mr. Thompson said:
 MT. Walker will not make con- test. The Republicans of the Fifth dis trick made a very active canvass and many Republican votes were secured in places where no Republican votes had previously been cast. The gains were substantiaf and the Republicans are satisfied, with the showing made. However, there Is no doubt but Mir. Heflin secureI a large majority of the votes cast and he is the choice of a majority of the people of the dis- trinfe
 For these reasons no contest will be entered into by Mir. Walker. If there Is any question raised as to the seating of Mr. Heflin ,and I am sure the Ques- ton will be raised, 1t will not be through Mr. Walker and if Mir. Heflin ia denied a seat, it will not be that a Republican may occupy 1t. On the oth- CT hand. if Mir. Heflin is unseated. then there will be vacancy in the Fifth district and another election will be in order" e e$%
 Mir. Thompson was asked if an ef- fort will bs made to prevent Mir. Heflin from serving the term to which he was elected, and he replied that he was positive that there would not be.
