STOLEN DYNAMITE
 IS RECAPTURED

Dr. D. P. Pruitt, candidate for coroner, and Tom Herbert and Gray Hill, all of Oxmoor, captured mule and wagon and ten cases of dynamite on the road between Birmingham and Cxmoor last night about P o'clock
 Dr. Pruitt, in company with MT Hill and MT. Herbert, were driving to their homes at Oxmoor, and just below Oak Grove they passed a wagon driven by three negroes. After passing the wagon the three white men grew suspicious of the load the negroes had on their wagon and drove back to investigate matters. As they approached the negroes all three of them jumped eff the wagon and fled into the woods The contents of the wagon was then examined and it was found that the cargo was composed of ten cases of dynamite. It is supposed that the negroes stole the explosive from one of the mining camps south of Bir- mingham.
 pr. Pruitt and his friends drove back to Birmingham with the wagon load of dynamite and mule, wagon, dynamite and all were turned over to the deputies at the sheriff's office.

TRAINED NURSE Remarks About Nourshing Food.

"A physicians wife gave me package of Grape-Nut one day, with the remark that she was sure I would find the food very beneficial both for my own use and for my patients. I was particularly att tracted to the food, as at that time the weather was very hot and I appreciated the fact that Grape-Nuts requires no cooking.
 The food was deliciously crisp, and most inviting to the appetite After mak ing use of 1t twice day for three or four weeks, l discovered that it was U most wonderful invigorator. I used to suffer greatly from exhaustion, headaches and depression of spirits. My work had been very trying at times and indigestion had set in.
 Now I am always well and ready for any amount of work, have an abundance of active energy, cheerfulness and mental boise. I have proved to my entire satis- faction that this change has been brought about by Grape-Nuts food

ADJUSTMENTS.
Morris MandeI Seat Sale.

The seat sale for the engagement Of Morris Mandel, the Yiddish actor, at the Jefferson theatre Thursday night. May [, opens at the box office at g o'clock this morning. Manag ger R. s. Douglas announces that those in line first will get the choice seats. And the fact that the best seats in the house for such an attraction are usual ly taken during the first hour of the sale will doubtless cause a long line to be waiting. The appearance of MT. Mandel at this time will be in the na- ture of treat to lovers of the Yid- dish drama. Such an opportunity has not been afforded theatregoers in some years, and MT. Mandel promises to pre- sent the Russian Olegan with all the same minuteness as to detail as he did in New York city.

DENTISTS GIVEN
 THEIR DIPLOMAS
BABES ADDRESS WAS FEATURE OF COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF BIRMINGHAM DENTAL COL LEGE HELD LAST NIGHT.

The class of graduates of the Birming- ham Dental college were given their de- grees last night at the Jefferson theatre before an assemblage of their friends The speech of Joseph B. Babb was the mo- table feature of the occasion. The main thought of his address was that impor- tant things depend upon the average man. He drew parallel between the average man and the genius and the whole tenor of his talk went to show that the genius dreams of beautiful creations, but the av- craze man pays for the Merry Widows" {"
 He impressed upon the young men their duties as citizens to take hand in pub lie affairs, and he held up to them as a warning pictures of parasites who are fattening on others. The programme, which was carried out in full, follows

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Governor Johnson the Available.


 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In his card to the public MT. A. G. Smith makes the argument that Governor Johnson should be elected and nominated to estop the republicans from cutting down our representation. This danger is remote. The Fourteenth amendment de- clares that when the right to vote is de- nied any male citizen by a state, the basis of representation shall be reduced. If this amendment is enforced it will virtually repeal the Fifteenth amendment, which declares that "the right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." If the Fifteenth amendment is annulled, the southern states will have free hand in the disfranchisement of the negro. Such a condition is not desired by the repub- lican party. The negroes would leave the south for the north. Again, if Congress cuts down the representation under the Fourteenth amendment it would be a con- cession that state had the right to dis franchise it's citizens provided 1t would accept the penalty, and such an admis- sion of states rights is opposed to the policy of the republican party.
 So then it seems highly improbable that Congress will cut down the representa- ton, even if such action was in Its power. The plea that Governor Johnson should be nominated and elected for the reason given above is voided by the very nature of the case. The plea of availability as M Cfaff f- aSi1 an- swered. D. IS. GRACE.

$50 CONVERSIONS
 IS RECORD TO DATE
PASTORS GRATIFIED BY RESULTS OF EVANGELlSTIC CAMPAIGN. HOPE TO AROUSE MORE GEN. ERAL INTEREST THIS WEEK

The evangelistic campaign during the past week has had gratifying results, though there has been little general att tention attracted to the meetings. The pastors themselves were surprised as well as delighted and gratifed when the an- nouncement of the returns was made at their meeting yesterday morning. Among them are some who instinctively see the vastness of the possibilities and the poverty of devotion in the churches. while others instlnctively emphasize the hopeful elements in any situation. Both alike were gladdened to know that by the past two weeks work about $50 souls have been led to the service of God.
 The pastors are still praying that the people of Birmingham may be aroused to a sense of the high and holy significance of this movement. Girls in the worst ways of shame have been converted and are seeking restoration and escape from the tolls of sin. Men who have long stood out against spiritual things have joined the church. Letters long kept hid- den and almost forgotten have been found and handed In to pastors. And many scores of persons are eagerly ask ing how they may know the way of per- sonal salvation.
 The present week, it is pointed out, is a great opportunity and may easily mark an epoch in the history of Birmingham. Only one thing hinders-the indifference of many Christians, and that is giving way. A certain intensity of conviction and spiritual atmosphere is growing in the noon service. pr. Culver is conduct ing that service, and Rev. Charles Lane of Georgia is assisting him. Dr. Lane is carrying on the special series this week at the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church.. Instead of Dr. Crouch, Rev. MT. Gable of Bessemer is preaching at West End Presbyterian church, and instead of pr. Taylor of Bessemer Rev J. A. Bryan is preaching at Fairview Methodist. The week opens with great promise.

S800,0O0 Will Be Spent Within the Next Five Years In
 Birmingham
WILL GIVE CITY THE BEST
 SYSTEM IN WHOLE SOUTH
Half of the Amount Is To Be Raised From Bonds and Half Will Be Assessed Against the
 Property Owners.

The Forney sewer bond issue carried by majority of 95 per cent. There were 66l votes cast for the issue and 92 cast against it.
 Little enthusiasm was displayed at the polls, and the small vote was due mostly to negligence. but it was almost a unan- imous vote for the issue.
 The City Council will now immediately pass the necessary ordinances empower ing the Mayor to sell the bonds for $4OO,- GOO and work will begin on the storm and sanitary sewers before the fall. The plans of the engineering department call for an expenditure during the next five years of at least sS0O,0OO but the other $40O,OOO will be assessed against the prop erty owners benefited
 In the Sixth ward not single vote was cast against the issue, 70 for it, this being one of the wards in most need of improved sewer conditions. The Ninth went S4 to 6, and all the wards showed similar majorities.
 Alderman John Forney introduced the resolution calling for the bond issue elec- tion several months ago, and since that time revelations of the needs of the city have been so urgent that immediate action was deemed necessary.
 While the money will not all be ex- pended in five years, by that time Bir- mingham will have the most complete sewer system of any city in the south, her health will be improved, and the lives of her children perfectly safeguarded. Under the guidance of City Engineer Ju- Han Kendrick a thorough, carefully con structed system is anticipated.

"A ULT1 INDICTMENT w

W. R.

No wit nesses were placed on the stand by the defense, while the state presented three-Sheriff E. L. Higdon, Chief Dep- uty Lucien Brown and Deputy Sheriff Dean. Attorney B. M. Allen repre- sented McVay.
 The charge against McVay was that. he had paid Lucien Brown $20C and that he had also given checks for something over 5000 for the privilege of selling whisky without license. This money, it is alleged, was taken by Brown, turned into the sh eriff and the charges preferred against Mcvay. AL together there were three indictments against McVay. one indictment being

disposed of yesterday. The other two will doubtless be handled like this one, unless new indictments are prepared.
 These indictments were handed down by the grand jury at the time a mum Der of professional gamblers had in dictments found against them for bribery. The charge handed down by Judge Howze ruled that the indict- ment was not valid. in that 1t failed 0 state the kind of money used in the transaction. A number of other errors were also cited.
 Attorney Allen named 2S grounds asking for the quashng of the indict- ment, all of wh ich were upheld but one. He also raised the point that under the statutes McVay could not be prose- euted for giving money to a deputy sh eriff as a deputy sheriff was not an executive officer, simply being an em- ploye of the sheriff's office.

 It is said that no action was taken, the feeling was that no good reason existed for lowering present prices.
 The market Is extremely dull. The Tennessee company Is still holding it's price at $13 on a No. ? basis, but the other companies are quoting SIP and $12.50 Bir- mingham. It is estimated that the foun- dry melt In the United States is now less than 50 per cent of normal, and some well informed men place 1t as low as 25 per cent. The Birmingham companies have managed to sell enough iron, now ever, to keep their stocks down. There Is practically no accumulation in the yards in this immediate district.

ADULTERATED DRINKS.
Judge Wants Sellers of Impure Drinks
 Prosecuted.

Chattanooga, May 4.-In opening the May term of the Feweral court today, Judge John E. Mccall charged the jury to indict druggists, a number of whom, he said, were handling preparations over their counters as medicine, which should be labelled intoxicating liquors. These drinks,' he said, "are sold under the guise of patent medicines, but are nothing but a low grade of whisky mixed with a few weaker and harmless drugs" Judge Mccall asked that these people he indict- ed regardless of their wealth and social position.'
 You punish a man. he said, flor sell ing few drinks to keep his family alive, which is usually the cause of the minor offenses, but the men who are making a fortune out of it go unmolested because of their social standing
