A UNIVERSAL LAW.
lat your thoughts

You never can tell what your thoughts
will do
In bringing you hate or love;
For thoughts are things, and their airy
wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the Universe
Each thing must create it's kind,
And they speed DER the track to bring
you back
Whatever went out of your mind.

Mr.. Radasch was defeated, from
which it appears that his party did
horse Radasch. AS he was not in the

couldn't unhorse him.

 WITH GAMESTERS Three Negroes Injured In Melee
 Near Fossils FIFTEEN SHOTS WERE FIRED Negroes Were Playing Poker at Con- cIuslon of Big Dance and Offered
 Resistance When the
 Officers Arrived.
FIFTEEN SHOTS WERE FIRED

Things looked lively for a squad of deputy sherjffs early yesterday morning when they interrupted poker game at New Ishkooda. about a half mile from negroes who were heavily armed. Three of the negroes were slightly wounded and all but one were captured.
 It was about a. m. when Deputies Chew, Curl, Roberts, Allen and Wilson approached the house. Early in the night there had been big dance, and after the women went home the negroes began a poker game by the light of a torch. It was afterward learned from one of the prisoners that nearly all of them had pis- tols, and had previously planned to give fight if the sheriffs deputies showed up.
 Two of the deputies entered from the front, one ut each window and one at the rear. As Chew came to the front door big negro pulled Colts and began firing at him from a distance of about 20 feet. Immediately melee of firing came from the room into the walls and out of the doors. The deputies opened flre shoot ing low and lamed two with bullets in their feet Together they rushed into the room and knocked over several with their fists. One burly negro threw his gun at Wade Allen, striking him full in the breast. The others except two flung their weapons out of the window and gave up. Andy Martin, who received slight face wound from grazing bullet, escaped, but was captured at Mason City yester- day afternoon The negroes who were wounded are Jim Phefer and Andy Mar tin. The others arrested are Dumas Burges, V. J. Arnott, Robert Clarke, Nor lis Dunn, Hardie Whipple. Jim Williams. Charlie Gout, Tom Myers, Bud Pledger. The incident was quite an exciting one and the deputies were at one time run ming a big risk

LIVE INTEREST IN
 CITY HALL AFFAIRS
PUBLIC INTEREST cENTERS IN MEETING OF COUNCIL, WHICH IS TO BE HELD WEDNESDAY, NIGHT.
FIRST AND TWENTIETH. BIRMINGHAM.

The present week is expected to be a live one in municipal affairs. The City Council meets Wednesday night and at this meeting many prominent and inter- esting matters are expected to come to a head.
 Prior to the council meeting, however, there are two committee meetings which are anticipated with great interest The one is the meeting of the judiciary com mittee, at which the verdict of a special committee appointed to investigate charges against Alderman Klotz, will be passed upon. It Is expected that the committee will make a report on this verdict as to whether in the opinion of the committee 1t was just or unjust. The other is the meeting of the miscel- ianeous committee, which will prepare a license schedule for 1909. It has been given out that there would be very few changes made in the existing schedule. It is understood that none of the cor porations will be required to pay an in- creased license. One live issue before the committee is whether or not there shall be made a differentiation between the "near' beer license and the soda water license The two are identical now.
 There is much speculation as to what will occur at the council meeting in view of the mass meeting Saturday night week. As is remembered. the mass meet ing adopted resolutions calling on A. A. Gambill to resign and the council to expell Alderman Klotz.
 During the past week reports have been numerous and sensational, and for this reason the council meeting will probably be well attended by citizens.

FEAGIN SPEAKS TO
 WEST END B, Y. P. U.

Judge N. B. Feagin of the Birmingham police court addressed an audience ot about 800 people under the auspices O, the Baptist Young Peoples union at the West End Baptist church yesterday even- ing at 6:S0 o'clock on the subject "Young Peoples Amusement" Judge Feagin. fin his address, spoke principally on the se- lection of advertisements, and urged the young people always to choose those forms of amusement which are uplifting and character builders. His words were warmly received.
 In glowing words Judge Feagin pictured the possibilities of the young peoples s work and urged cooperation with the other organizations of the community. He also made some valuable suggestions along the line of charitable work for the young people to do. and caused them to get larger vision of their opportunities. The work of the kindergarten was touched upon and used as an illustration of the way to develop young people.
 "The B. Y. r. U. is nothing but q kin dergarten of larger boys and girls" said the speaker, and he urged upon them to
 
 keep up the good work in which they are engaged until there shall not be a single boy or girl in the community without the pale of the church.
 More than JOG young men," he declared, lin the city of Birmingham are today leading lives of likeness and sin support ed by their earnings in gambling houses, but the development of the young people in Christian living will create a new con- dition in vhe future and civic righteous ness will take the place of the present lax enforcement of the law, because the boys and girls of today will have become men and women who will not stand for it.''
 At the close of the programme the crowd pressed forward and practically every man, woman and child shook Judge Feagins hand and expressed their appre- edition of his address. The members of the B. Y. T. U. feel deeply indebted to Judge Eeasin and will always extend him a hearty welcome to their meetings. Following is the programme rendered at the meeting of the union:

LYcEUM LECTURE.
The Rev. Father Daly Will Be Heard
 at High School.

The next attraction in the Lyceum course will be the Rev. John Daly, the distinguished priest-orator, who is now rector of the Boys Home in Milwaukee. He has long taken 8 special interest in wayward children. and his lectures on .nrhe Homeless Child and the Juvenile Court" and "Is the Child Worth Saw ing?" have made him famous. He was attached to the Milwaukee cathedral, but was allowed by Archbishop Messmer to give up his position there and devote his time and talent to child rescue work. When quite a young priest Father Daly was attached to St. Paul's church in Birmingham, and the older Catholics here often speak of his brilliant sermons. In addition to his two lectures on the line of Juvenile reform he has these: 'Tho American Citizen," "Our Reunited Coun- try," "Emerald. Gems In Americas s Crown and "The Portion of Labor" pr. J. H. Phillips said yesterday that he did not know what Father Daly's theme tomorrow night would be. but that he would probably give one of the lectures mentioned above

Miss Strickland and MT. Orr
 Thrown from Vehicle
ON THE NORTH HIGHLANDS
Animals Became Frightened Just as Miss Strickland Had Taken Seat. MT. Orr cIung to an Axle
 of the Buggy.

As result of a runaway accident yesterday afternoon Miss Hazel strick- land and Clyde Orr sustained very painful injuries.
 The runaway occurred shortly after o'clock. the horses making a dash from the front of the residence of Miss Strickland, at the corner of Twenty third street and Thirteenth avenue. north, and running a block down Twenty third street. The horses were powerful grays and were hitched to a. two-seated trap.
 Miss Strickland and MT. Orr with another young couple were preparing to take ride and Miss Strickland had just seated herself in the trap. MT. Orr had just placed his foot on the step of the carriage when the horses gave a plunge and started down the street. the sudden jerk throwing him over the front axle, to which he clune. during the runaway.
 After the horses had run for half a. block they suddenly swerved toward the sidewalk, crossed 1t Into a yard and smashed into the balustrade of the porch to 8 residence. The front seat was torn off and Miss Strickland thrown to the ground, and a number of the balusters knocked out. Miss Strickland's face was badly bruised. After this the horses continued their flight across the yards of two resi- dences and turned as they reached an alley fence, smashing the rig up against the fence and jerking the tongue loose, then dashed back to the sidewalk with the tongue trailing be- hind, and down to the corner of Twelfth avenue where they tore down section of picket fence. The tongue caught in the fence and the horses came to a halt
 When the rig smashed into the alley fence MT. Orr was thrown with great force from his precarious position on the front axle to the ground. He and Miss Strickland were picked up and taken into residence and doctors summoned. While they both sustained number of bad bruises, their injuries are not thought to be very serious.
