into graded schools. Among these
was our superintendent of educa-
ton.
One of the best things of a grad
ed school is the uplifting influence
that is cast by good libraries and
pious teachers. Ofteutlmes the
school near their hcmes is the only
one some children have the oppor
tunity of attending, therefore after
having gone to school as long as
they possibly could they are better
equipped for the battles of life if
they had attended graded schools.
1t is not the case with them if they
had attended common country
schools.
A graded school arouses a social
element in a community by bringing
more people together than IA COM
mon school would. 1t causes the
people to have a common interest
and to strive for the welfare of each
other.
Taking into consideration the
MANY advantages, I think common
country schools should be consolida-
ted into good substantial graded
schools. 0. NJ. M.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Land of Nod"

The Land of Nod the Will J. Block Amusement company's big musical ex- travaganza, comes to the Jefferson the atre tonight and tomorrow afternoon and night, after a record of twenty-seven weeks in Chicago. "The Land of Nod" is different. It is a musical comedy, but has a pretty original decelopment of a rather familiar idea. It represents the dream of a little girl who fell asleep among her playfellows. And being a dream, there is no limit to the license granted the librettist. The scenes are in the Land of Nod.' The first act repre- sents a landscape with peppermint river, balloon trees. mushroom towars with home made of cards and dominoes in the foreground, the palace of the King and Queen of Hearts, who have a young prince, Jack of Heatrs, who falls in love with the little dreamer when she is trans ported to dreamland. The second act is in Nightmare palace, the home of the Sandman, who Is the enemy of the King of Hearts. takes him captive and for a time subjects him and his fellows to cruel terrors.

CRAP SHOOTER KILLED.
Officer on Southsde Forced to Kill
 Negro Who Resisted Arrest.

While resisting arrest and attempting to draw a pistol, John Battle, colored, was shot to death last night on the Southside by Officer Parker. The bullet that killed him entered the forehead, went entirely through the head, and came out in the rear
 The officer had spotted a negro crap game, and attempted to arrest the en- tire number of players. Officer Street, his partner, remained on the outside of the house, while Parker entered. No sooner had Parker ordered the men un- der arrest than Battle grabbed him by his hands and attempted to draw his own revolver. A hand to hand fight en- sued, in which Parker tried to shoot and the negro tried to get his own gun. In the meantime, all the other participants in the game effected their escapes.
 Soon the officers finger pulled the trig ger but in the scuffle his aim was bad and he missed. He finally wrenched loose, however, and just as the negro's weapon was leaving his pocket, Parker fired. His bullet penetrated the negro's head and passed entirely through it.
 The fight was of only a moments dura- ton, and was over before Officer Street could come to Parker's assistance.

MRS. C. N. OWEN IS
 STRUCK BY HORSE
Aged North Birmingham Woman Seri- ously Injured and Driver Gets
 Away Safely.

Mrs. c. N. Owen was picked up from the street, on Third avenue and Nine teenth street, yesterday afternoon at about clock in an almost unconscious condition. She had been knocked down by a horse which was moving across the street at a fast rate. It is said that no one caught sight of the driver and that he did not stop for a minute, leaving the scene post haste
 Mrs. Owen was carried in the ambu- lance of Shaw X Son to her home, near the North Birmingham park, where she was attended by physician. Her head was badly bruised, and the hip received a terrible strain but it is believed that she will recover. She was nearly 60 years of age, and the shock to her nervous system was very serious.
 Mrs. Owens has a number of children prominent in the city, and is herself one of the best loved women in North Bir- mingham. The accident was deeply re- gretted by her host of friends in that city who will be glad to hear that at latest reports she was resting easily.

LEAGUE SEEMS POPULAR. Siqnatures Indicate That Many Want City to Own Water Works.

The application blanks for membership into the Municipal Ownership league, which were placed Saturday night in various stores of the city are being signed rapidly. It is evident that the league or rather, the measure that 1t is work ing for Is popular one.
 As stated in The Age-Herald Sunday morning. the league was formed for the specific purpose of working for the mu- nicipal ownership of a water works plant to be owned and controlled by the city government. As is known, the advisabillty of the city issuing enough bonds for the purpose of erecting such a plant, vii be submitted to popular vote at the next municipal election. The Municipal Own. ershlp league is working to the end that that matter may carry.
 It is evident from the number of sig. natures attached to the blanks that there will be a goodly attendance at the next meeting of the league, at which will be elected all necessary officers, and all necessary committees appointed.

 It was officially announced yesterday that the schedule committee had been appointed. As is known the fixing of a schedule, as is generally the case, was left to the president of the league, Judge Kavanaugh. who has authority to ap- point committee to render him assist ance. The committee appointed Is Mique Finn of Little Rock, Charlie Frank of New Orleans and F. E. Kuhn of Nash vile. The naming of the two first gem tlemen came as no surprise Mique Finn has made so many schedules in Dixie that he has been termed the official schedule fixer." As is known, Judge Kav- anaugh invariably calls Charlie Frank to his side when he needs advice and as- sistanee.
 It will be noticed that of the four schedule "fxers,' three are from the

Catholic Notes.

The Right Rev. D. P. Allen, bishop of Mobile, has appointed the Rev Malachi E. I<itrick to take charge of the Catholic field in North Birmingham and in West End for the purpose of gathering congre- gations in those municipalities and build ing a church in each Sites for these churches were purchased by the bishop some time ago.
 It is understood to be the intention of Bishop Allen to appoint Father Kitrick permanent pastor at either North Br- mingham or West End after one or the other of the congregations is fully organ ized. Father Kitrick has been for about three years assistant at St. Pauls, but since the death of the Rev. Father Gal land he has been acting pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows. He is re- garded as an excellent preacher well as a zealous and faithful priest.

 At St. Pauls church yesterday the choir rendered in fine style Councils St. Cecilia mass.
 The Rev. Father Benedict, o. S. B., of St. Bernard's, has preached a series of eight sermons at St. Paul's church, and members of the congregation speak of these discourses as exceptionally able and edifying.
 Bishop Allen will celebrate a pontifical requiem at the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows next Thursday at o'clock in memory of the late pastor, Father Gal land. It will be the months mind" The bishop was in the east on an important mission at the time of the funeral and could not reach Birmingham to take part in the obsequies; hence the pontitical mass this week

 Of all the rot and abusurdity that was ever foisted in the Southern league, this is the limit
 That there was nothing unknown in that deal which the other magnates wished to know. was proved when the Castro question" was not even preached at the recent meeting of the league. Then, there Is nothing concerning the deal which the local management wishes con- eealed So Castro will. firstly, talk to empty benches, and secondly, emptily talk to no avail. The matter Is past history. and as stated, 1t is difficult to believe that Castro has considered such an action.
 However as it now stands, Castro will either play in Atlanta or in that place to which Atlanta conslgns him, or nowhere. After this week. there will be no outlaw league for those with injured feelings to hide themselves
