Two Bills Pending.

So within the next three months, is expected that there will be an attempt made to shake up the department, to get rid of the old, and those who are considered by tine administration "drones." It is therefore expected that there will be some lively scenes, and some executive sessions of the police com mission.
 If the bill to abolish the commission passes, then the question is solved, for the city can them get rid of whomeyer it sees fit. If another bill that providing for the inauguration of the civil service regulation, passes, then the question Is solved again. That regulation provides that once a policemen. always one, ex- cept in cases of bad conduct. It provides, too, for those grown too old in the ser vice to retain their effectiveness.
 At present, there is no time fixed f. the next meeting of the commission, and 1t is generally supposed that the body will not come together again until the time of the next regular session. the sec- ond Tuesday in March. No meeting was held this month.

Captain o'Brien Interviewed.

When seen by an Age-Herald represen- tatve at his home last night, Captain O'Brlen, in spite of the fact that he suf- fered from d severe cold retained his characteristic cheerfulness. He felt the sting of defeat, as might be expected, but felt grateful for his splendid sup port. He found consolation in the fact that the majority of his opponent was small. He felicitated himself. too, that ne had voted for the winner on the day of the primary, and that the winner had cast his ballot on the losing side. As told in The Age-Herald of yesterday, Captain O'Brien cast his ballot for Ward, and Mayor Ward voted for Captain O'Brien.
 Perhaps the most memorable campaign in the history of the city is over' said Captain O'Brien, "and while as mat ter of fact 1 am somewhat disappointed as to the result, I, abiding the decision of the democratic voters, hold no animosty. l appreciate the cordial support of my friends and appreciate the large vote given me. IL was u close race. and find pleasure in tine fact that the ballots indicated the confidence and esteem of those casting them.
 Though il claimed that only the liquor element and gamblers supported me, I am proud of the knowledge that this Is not true. I received the hearty support of many of the best people in Birmng- ham. and feel sure that my following as Il whole was as clean that of my suc- cessful opponent MT. Ward himself is not the only good citizen who voted for me yesterday and am sure that many men as good as |, if not better. voted for

Mayor Ward Promises.

Birmingham's Mayor did not reach his office until nearly the noon hour yester- day. He was awake the greater part of Monday night, and in consequence slept late. He was still tired when an Age-Herald reporter visited his office. He smiled when congratulations were offered and stated his satisfaction that it was all over.
 ''I feel proud that the people gave me their endorsement l am aware that the fight was a bitter one, and the finish spectacular. l think the people for their favor, and promise to discharge the du- ties incumbent on me fearlessly, and, as l see 1t, rightfully. l hope that I will be a worthy servant to the people during the next two years. l hope that I will be better Mayor. I will pursue the plans of the administration that Is Just passing out of existence. and as I can do little without help and cooperation, l ask for and hope for the further assistance, of my people. I feel no animosity, of course, toward the chvalrous gentleman whom the people supported so heartily and en- thusiasucally."

Does human health depend on one organ alone? This question is becom- ing widely discussed since l.. T. Cooper first advanced his theory that the stomach is the true seat of life and all health dependent upon it
 Mir. Cooper, who has met with re- markable success in the sale of his new medicine. believes that the stom- ach Is responsible for most sickness, and that this organ is weak in the present generation. While discussing this theory recently, he said: 'I an asked time and again to tell why my medicine has made such a record wherever I have introduced 1t. My answer always is, because it restores the stomach to a normal condition. No one will deny that today there are ever before. Nothing critical seems to be the matter with them. They are just half-sick most of the time. They don't know really what Is the matter with them. l have talked with thou. sands during the past two years. and few knew indeed what their trouble was. One said nervousness, another said kidney trouble. another liver con- plafnt. some constipation, or heart trouble, or lung trouble. Many had treated, as they called 1t, for most of these diseases at different times. A very common complaint is .all run down or tired all the time,' or no appetite'"
 T know positively that every bit of this chronic i'll health is caused by stomach trouble. and nothing else. My New Discovery puts the stomach in sound condition iu about six weeks. Mighty few people can bs sick with a

Land- y0igt. of whom MT Powers was q Son- in-law, and by the writer, who knew him in former years quite well.
 Mir. Powers had been an invalid for year or more, and while his death was not unexpected, his family is heart broken at this great loss and terrible bereavement. He formerly resided in Memphis, and some years ago, when his health began failing him, he removed with his family 10 Galveston, Texas, hoping to receive benefit.
 He resided there number of years, but his health again failing. he re- moved to Colorado where he took some of the scientific treatments. but to TO avail. He had been bedridden for year. and maintained his in- domitable energy to the last. For nearly twelve months he transacted his business by telephone from his bedside with the assistance of his daughter, Miss Nettie. who was con- stautly al his office.
 He was a kind and indulgent par. ent, good and perfectly devoted husband. true friend and genia companion.
 He had many friends in Memphis who will learn the news Of his deatf with deep regret.
 He leaves wife who was perfectly devoted 10 him. and who has nursed him like baby. exhausting every means and her strength ill the yair eadeavor to bring him back to health and four loving and lovely children al of whom are incousolable Word: cannot soften their grief, else WE could exhaust our energies, and Vt can only extend our sincere anG brotherly sympathy, and hope that time and the Great Comforter may assuage their grief and heal theil i lacerated hearts.

 Among more recent converts to Mir. Cooper's beliefs is Mir. Edgar L. Hinds. living at 6 Tappan Street, Everett Mass. Mir. Hinds has this to say on the subject:
 "I have sufferei with stomach trouble for eight years. was not sick enough to be in bed. but just felt bad all the time. My greatest trouble was that 1 always felt tired. would get up in the morning feeling as tired as when I went to bed.
 I had very irregular appetite, and was troubled with dizzy spells. If stood for any length of time, l would have a dull pain In the lower part of Try back. I vas nervous and felt all tho time as though something terrible was going to happen. tried many kinds Of medicine, but nothing ever helped me.
 "I had about given up all hope Of ever being in good health again. when heard so much of Cooper and de- cided to try his medicine. took one bottle of his New Discovery and was greatly surprised at the result. I gained 12 pounds in a few weeks. can now eat anything I wish and feel like a new man. I cheerful,y reconl- mend this medicine to all sufferers from stomach trouble"
 It Is worth anvone's time. who is not enjoying good health. to learn of Mir. Cooper's wonderful preparations. We are selling them ia large quantities. -J T. Sanders. Pn. c.
