Fire still Burning.

The fire that broke out in No mine at Readers is still raging. It Is probable that 1t will burn on in this manner for sev- eral days as 1t Is impossible to get near the opening to fight the flames, the smoke is so dense.
 As no one has been in the mine 1t Is impossible to estimate the loss. although IL VIII no doubt be very heavy. The mine IS one. of the largest and best equipped of the Tennessee company's mines and it will be some time before 1t can again be ready for operation.

 Its Twin shame!' she exclaimed at the first sight of tassels on the horses 'T do believe that they are just blushin at this sinful display. I declare it hurts my eyes. Here, officer, arrest the man as owns them poor critters; arrest the chief of police, the mayor, anybody"

METROPOLITAN HOTEL SITE.
New Building Not Likely in the Near
 Future.

The prospects for new hotel building being erected on the present site of the Metropolitan hotel on Twentieth street, at an early date are not encouraging. This property was recently purchased by W. H. Woodward, and it was given out that it was bought as a site for a new and modern hotel.
 It Is understood now that the leases on the hotel and the barroom do not expire until 1909 and as 1t Is impossible to have these cancelled, new building Is not likely In the near future. The matter may get Into the courts

FOUR CANDIDATES
 OPPOSE PLURALITY
COPELAND, WARD, FoRNEY AND cRlTTENDEN WRITE JOINT LET TER TO CHAIRMAN OF THE CITY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.

Four candidates for mayor have ad- dressed the following communication to the chairman of the city democratic exec utlve committee requesting that the ma jority rule be adopted by the committee at the coming municipal primary: III. B. Abernathy, Esq, Chairman City
 Executive Committee, Birmingham, Ala:
 1 Dear Sir-We, the undersigned oandi- dates for mayor in the coming democratic urinary, herewith formally request that your committee adopt the majority rule 1 instead of a plurality rule in deciding the contest.
 I've believe that this is the only method of arriving at and carrying out the wishes of the majority of the people. Respect fully.
 "J. R. COPELAND, "GEORGE WARD,
 JOHN c. FORNEY, "M H. CRITTENDEN. The signatures of Charles S. Simmons and John W. oNeill, who are also candi- dates for mayor, were not attached to the petition The letter was denvered yester- day afternoon to Judge Abernathy by Mr Ward in person. When the city com mlttee meets the matter will be brought up.
 In speaking of the letter MT. Ward said: While the plurality rule on its face may seem fair enough to some, when two or three candidates are in the field it does not voice the wishes of majority of the people when five or six candidates are in the race. Under this rule in the mayor alty contest one-fifth of the people could name the mayor.
 T readily understand the trouble the town and the citizens would be put to in a second primary, but as the candidates would have to bear the expense I believe our friends would be able to take the trouble to select a man who was the choice of a majority of the people,"
 A petition is being circulated asking Judge Abernathy to call meeting of the city committee for Monday night. The law requires that In order for the chairman to act request must come from five members of the committee So far only four signatures have been secured. Maae lxarples, James F. Hawkins, G. B. Burk- halter and Harry Turner have signed the 1 petition.

Doing Great Work.

Florisant, Mo-, Dec. 19.-(Special)
That Dood's Kidney Pills are doing
a great work in curing the more terri
BILE forms of Kidney Disease, such as
Bright's Disease, Dropsy and Diabetes,
everybody knows. But it must also
be noted that they are doing a still
greater work in wiping out thousands
of cases of the earlier stages of Kidney
Disease. Take for instance Mrs. Peter
Barteau, OF this place. She says:
''I have been subject to pains in N y
back and knees for about three years,
but since l have been taking Dodd'a
Kidney Pills I have been entirely
cured"
Others here tell similar stories. In
fact, in this part of Missouri there are
scores of people who have cured the
early symptoms of Kidney Disease with
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The use of the
Great American Kidney Remedy thus
saved not only the lives of Kidney Dis
ease victims, but thousands Of Other
Americans from years of sufferlngs.
