MRS WOODRUFF PRAISED
sister Gina Cannon was most init
mate with Sister Helen w, Woodruff
and never met any woman with greater
faith in God, and more reliance IN His
divine power than she. She had been a
model to her and as She noticed her
exceptional qualities, her attention TO
little things. she has thanked the Lord
for associations such as she found IN

the greatest prize, 10 gain which she
was willing to endure IN patience every

ELDER RULON s. WELLS,
Prest. Rulon S. Wells said the death
OF Apostle Woodruff was great loss
to the entire Church, lie had tried to
find some reason why these young lives
should be cut short but had sought In
vain. But the Lord in His wisdom will
some day make manifest the obscurity
of the present,
Elder Woodruff was Just the kind OF
a man needed among our young and
he was one always ready always pre-
pared for any call lie was man who
o
who always saw the good in others and
blessed humanity in his ministrations.
He left his impression for good among
all his associates, lie has preached the
Gospel I'm foreign lands and at home
and has now gone to continue his work
In the mansions OF our Father. We may
not be able to measure the usefulness
Of Elder Woodruff's labors but genera
lions yet unborn Will bless his memory
In closing Elder Wells referred to the
great event of the martrydom Of the
Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith 60
years ago on the 27th OF this month,
and OF the value Of the lives and work
Of such master minds In whom the
whole world will find comfort and even

Up Situation In Ky. and Tenn.

Indianapolis, August 23.-The con
troversy which is at present affecting
the miners in the coal fields of Tennes-
see and southwestern Kentucky was
considered at length today by the ex-
ecutive boaru of the United Nine
Workers.
Secretary-Treasurer w. P. Wilson of
the Mine Workers was seen tonight
and declined to make any statement
as to what action the board will prob
ably take. He said, however, that the
discussion OF the situation would con-
tinue tomorrow. T. j. Smith of Ten
nessee presented to the board the
merits of the controversy between the
miners and the operators.
The operators, he said, demanded a
10 per cent reduction in last years
wage scale. Between 5000 and 10000
men are involved. A conference be-
tween the miners and operators was
held in Knoxville from August 9 to
10, Mr.. Smith said, but no agreement

WILL WAIT TILL SPRING.
Zoe WIN Not Go to Fact Lake for the
Present.

Tho Boys geological association has de-
cided to walt until spring before NOV
ing the small animals now on hand at
tho Five Points fire department to East
Lake. In the meantime they will be cared
for Just outside of the city limits where
they are not near enough to residences
to be Objectionable.
The elephant will be here by early
spring and then a substantial house will
be erected at the lake and the animals
permanently located there They will be
moved from their present headquarters
owing to the complaints made by some of
the residents of that vicinity. 1t has been
arranged so that the animals will be
caxed for at their new place free of
charge just as they are at the fire de-
partment now.
The boys are out canvassing and at
the present rate will have enough money
not only to complete the elephant fund.
but also to purchase additional animals,
such as deer, bears, etc. Many Of the
members of the association are out Of the
city at present but will return home in a
few weeks and 1t is expected that the
fund will grow then in leaps. 1t is much
pleasanter to work when the weather is
not 30 hot, and especially when there
are no ball games In town.

SEWERAGE SYSTEM
IS NOW COMPLETED
Political Situation is Warming
Up in EnSIey
CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR
Birmingham Hallway, Light and Power
Company Is Using Rails Made In
EnsIey for Reconstruction
of Highland Ave. Line.

Ensley. August 2s.-(special.) 1.-The last
work was done on Enseys new sanitary
sewerage system today and It Is now
ready to turn over to the city. ]. e. Hol
lingsworth & Co.. the contractors, finished
the work just two months ahead of tho
time designated in tho contract.
The system is over twelve miles In
length and cost the city about $4,000.
Preparations are now already under way
to connect the city's system with the
county trunk sewer which is in course of
construction.
The contractors who are constructing
the storm sewers state that they will be
ready to turn that system over to the
city within ten days time. The water
sewerage Is about two and half miles
In length and practically drains the entire
city. The water sewer Is constructed of
brick and Is about six feet in diameter.
Politics Getting Warm.
After temporary lull politics are again
warming up to a considerable degree It
Is probable that the city executive COM
mittee will be called together in the next
few weeks to decide the date for the
primary. Public opinion seems to favor
a late primary and it is probable that 1t
will not be called until November or De-
cember.
The candidates who are now being
prominently mentioned for mayor are:
Alderman J. e. Hollingsworth. James M
Perkins. Aldermen w. C. McTyiere Hen
ry zuber. A. w. Muckinfuss and w. H.
Henderson.
A strong effort is being made by the
friends OF Mayor Scott to get him to
run again, but so far the mayor has de-
clined to say whether he will enter the
race or not. During Mayor SCOTS adj
ministration the city has made wonder
full strides. Should he enter the race It
is probable that the entire political situa-
ton as II now stands would be greatly
changed.
Usng EnsIey Rails.
The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company is using iron rails, made
by the Ensley steel mill In the recon-
struction work that is being done on the
Highland avenue line. These are the first
Ensley rails that the company has used,
but 1t is probable that the company will
use a number of these in the future.
Picture Exhibition.
Next Thursday and Friday nights the
Imperial Exhibition company will give
performances at the Ensley opera house.
Over one hundred moving scenes taken
from real life will be given at each show.
Cunningham Guards to Meet.
The Cunningham GUARDS win meet to-
morrow night at the opera house. Cap
tain Perkins will probably announce the
aOnOintn1ent of unn-Cor1 M sim ed offcara
and steps will be taken towards getting
the company detailed with the artillery
until vacancy occurs in the Third regi-
ment.

of assaulting Deputy Sheriff Hamilton,
who is stationed at one of the mines to
guard 1t.
Walter Busby and w. G. Smith were
mixed up In the fight and the former was
charged with having concealed weapon.
Judge Feagin agreed that If they would
all shake hands and become friends he
would put a light fine on them. There
were a score or more of witnesses and
the testimony was badly confused. but
Judge Feagin held that the men were all
guilty.
