STEER SHOT AT BY
 NEGROHIGHWAY
WAS DRIVING NEAR WooDLAWN CEMETERY, WHEN ORDERED TO sToP-WHIPs HORSES AND A BULLET WHlZZED.

". H. speer. an employe of the Acme laundry was the victim of two negro highwaymen last night. MT. Speer ex- perienced the sensation of being shot at and missed and he was considerably un- norved when he called at police headquar- ters last night to report the matter.
 MT. Speer was on his way to town last night and was driving along the road back of the Woodlawn cemetery when the ne- groes accosted him. He was driving wagon belonging to the laundry, and it seems that one of the negroes took hold of the horse's bridie while the other pre- sented a pistol and ordered Speer to throw up his hands.
 MT. Speer states that when he was or dered to hold up he grabbed his whip to hit the horse, intending to escape, but when he grabbed tho whip one of the ne- groes fired uron him, the bullet passing just In iron. of his face and lodging in the side of tne wagon. He then stopped.
 The negroes took from their victim a watch a billbook, an overcoat and about S1O or SIP in money. The matter was re- ported to both the Birmingham and Woodlawn authorities.

AT ST. ANDREWS CHURCH.
Christmas Services for Children on an
 Unusually Impressive Scale.


 Impressive Christmas services were held at o'clock in the afternoon of Christmas Day by the Sunday school of St. Andrews Episcopal church. The singing of carols by vested choir of 20 children and a quartet composed of Messrs. John D. Tucker. Erin Farley. Charles Brown and Anatol Lux made the services especially attractive.
 A talk was made to the children by the Rev MT. Raimudo deOvies, who used as his subject the different names by which the Lord is called. and which appear upon the interior walls of the church as part of the decorations.
 T. c. Baker was the organfst and his rendition of Dielman's Christmas hymn was beautiful.
 After the recessional the children marched to- the parish house, where huge Christmas tree awaited them On the tree were 150 candles, while bag of candy and an orange awaited each child. Then to carry out the Biblical teaching that cit is better to give than receive" each of the children placed a present upon the tree for those child ren whom Santa Claus forgot. The aid of the Mercy Home was solicited for the proper distribution of these pres ents.

TAYLOR'S BODY ID BE
 DISAPPEARED TODAY
Officials Will Examine Stomach
 to Detect Poison
OTHER EVENTS THIS WEEK
Wednesdays Council Meeting VIII Be of Special Interest Because the Eligibility of Four Alder
 men Is Questioned.

After days rest following the Christ mas season, Birmingham is preparing to enter upon another busy week and to re- sume all it's noraml features.
 Today the coroner will exhume from it's grave at Mt. Pinson cemetery the body of John l. Taylor, which was inferred last June, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not, the deceased came to his death as a result of poisoning. In making this examination the coroner will revive interest in the case of John M. Baker, whose stomach it was ascertained after his death, contained both arsenic and mercury, and in connection with whose death his daughter, Mrs. Bertha M. Fay Tor, is held. Relatives of Taylor, among the number being C. c. Truss, a nephew, have made affidavits to the effect that the deceased came to his death, in their opinion, by foul means. The body will be disinterred today, pr. Frank G. Grace, the coroners medical adviser, having given an opinion in case Taylor was pois- oned, that fact can be substantiated. In the greatest interest throughout the city,
  principals reside.
 Early in the week, the exact date having not been set, council committee, headed by Walter Moore, chairman, will examine the charge of bribery preferred some months ago by Henry W. Eggler. Be- cuase grand jury, to which the charge was sumbitted failed to return an indict- na at the instance of MT. Fulghum, thought its examination unnecessary. When, however, at a mass meeting some weeks ago a resolution was adopted asking the council to investigate this charge, AL derman Fulghum, in a statement made to the council, requested the appointment of a committee to make the investigation. This committee was appointed, and while no date has been set for it's meeting, it is thought that it will come together Monday night.
 The City Council will meet Wednesday night. The session, it is indicated by the small amount of business, will be short and free from the sensational features that have characterized recent meetings There will by some interest attached to the fact that aldermen will occupy seats as members who, by a recent decision of the supreme court are not eligible to seats. The supreme court, as is remem- bered, declared that the annexation of Avondale and East Birmingham was un- constitutional. and Dr. Martin, MT. Star buck, MT. Causey and Mir Mcdonald are in view of the decision, sitting as de facto aldermen. As is known, Judge A. o. Lane of the circuit court is at the present time considering the quo war ranto proceedings which were filed for the purpose of busting pr. Martin.

B0DEKER WEARS
 NEW GOLD BADGE

Chief of Police George, H. Bodeker yesterday appeared on the streets of Birmingham wearing for the first time since his election badge slgnifying his office. Although Chief Bodeker has managed the police department of tho city for about year he has never worn the badge of chief.
 The badge which the chief now wears was presented to him on Christmas Day by the members of the police de- partment as a token of their esteem and appreciation. Every member of the department contributed to the fund for the purpose of the acceptable gift.
 The badge Is one of solid gold and. though small, is heavily made. It Is of a shield design with a star in the center, and in the middle of the star there Is diamond of considerable weight.
 Chief Bodeker prizes the badge highly on account of the source from which it came.

rade will pass slowly by and unless an extra session is called nothing will dis turb the general trend.
 Only candidates for governor may be said to have started on the long jog. Henry B. Gray, the present lieutenant governor, will be Birmingham's candi- date. He has already announced and has been organizing quietly for his cam paign. Selma. the home of the fleetest runners in the state, has Hugh S. D. Mall lory in the field, and Walter D. Seed is the other announced candidate.
 shrewd politicians are making no effort this soon to discover the real issues of the closing months in the campaign They will all devolp during the next IS months. Every incident will have its bearing. This is also true with reference to the fight between John Hollis Bankhead and B. B. Conner for the senatorship. They ara both saying little and feeling the pulse.

NEXT YEAR WILL SEE NO
 ELECTIONS IN ALABAMA

Friday will usher in a year of little politics for Alabama. Without a national office or a state office or a county office or a city office to fill the voters of Ala bama will have a big rest.
 The politics in state races will merely be at the simmering point. Dozens of candidates will announce and talk their campaign slowly through the months. Al ready there are nearly a dozen running the Marathon race, which will not be finished until nearly two years have passed.
 This will be the first year in which no city elections are to be held. Under the municipal code they were all held on Sep tember 21. and these will hold for two years.
 The year 1909 will go down as a year of developments. Action will count more than words. Prohibition and those who favored it are on trial. 7 The dress pa

WHOLE STATE TO BE
 DRY NEXT FRIDAY

Statutory prohibition goes into effect in Alabama next Friday morning. There is little excitement over the matter in Mont gomery and Mobile. the two cities most affected. In Birmingham last year the saloons were crowded with people who purchased whisky and wine for storage purposes by the case.
 Some Birmingham people believe that prohibition will be more effective here as a result of the closing up all over the state. At the same time Birmingham en- ters her second year without saloons.
 Prohibitionlsts in Jefferson county as- oribe the total state wide prohibition to the stand of this county, and the main fight against liquor will be continued here during the coming year by the headquar- ter of the Anti-Saloon league.

C0pnty Officials WiH
 Discuss COnbict NafteY

The meeting of judges of probate and presidents of county boards of revenue is definitely called for December % at 1 D. m In the Hotel Hillman. On Tues day at least 25 counties will be repre- scented at a meeting to discuss the man ner and price for leasing convicts.
 The question at live issue is whether the bids of the corporations at SIP will be accepted or whether the counties shall cooperate In leasing them at a better price. It Is probable that the confer ence will decide to hold up closing any bids until someone can be persuaded to offer a more satisfactory price.
 The proposal to go in collectively on contract for mining coal at price and feeding, clothing as well as guarding the convicts will also be discussed. The idea is to follow the same plan now used by the state In leasing its convicts.

LANE WILL DECIDE
 OUSTER SLIIT THIS MEEK

The custer proceedings against Alder man H. L. Martin, the primary object of which is to test the constitutionality of the King Greater Birmingham bill, have become the subject of general discussion and the point is now one of primary in- terest in Birmingham.
 It is not probable, however, that Judge Lane, before whom the proceedings were heard, will decide the case before the latter part of this week. Judge Lane stated yesterday afternoon that the att torneys in the case had not submitted their briefs and it is this matter prin- cipally which has delayed the decision
 If Judge Lane holds that Dr. Martin can be busted from his seat on the Board of Aldermen of Birmingham then he holds in effect that the Greater Birmingham

 Pure, simple willow charcoal absorbs gas at once and stops impure food fer mentation It sweetens the stomach, kills the effect of all odors such as liquor, tobacco, onions, etc, or at least pre- vents them from causing impurities to arise.
 The willow is renowned for It's cura- tive properties and ancient legendary lore Is filled with its use by barbarians and civilized men. Az early as 300 B. c. the ancient Chaldeans were sagely curing disease by charcoal and every monastery of the old world healed the sick and cured the drunkard by using powdered willow charcoal. t

One may eat a box of them and feel only benefit from so doing. Two or three after a meal will be a suffi- cient guard against bad breath and ths same amount eaten just before bedtime will insure a pure breath upon arising the next morning.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges tone up the blood, the liver and the stomach. They are great laxatives also but eating large numbers of them does not increase their effect in a painful manner upon the bowels

BUSTLING SCENES IN TOWN YESTERDAY
STREETS CROWDED ALL DAY, GIVING THE IMPRESSION THAT CHRISTMAS WAS BY NO MEANS OVER-SoME ARRESTS.

The day after Christmas has invariably during the past, but Birmingham broke this record yesterday. All day long the streets were crowded much the same as on days just proceeding Christmas, while business in the retail shops appeared to be rushing.
 Saturday is as a rule Birmingham's s busy day and large crowds are on the re- tail streets on this day, and this may have have been the reason for the large crowds yesterday. The soda fountains and moving picture shows did an excep- tionally large business, while it looked as if every other person was loaded down with bundles, thus giving an appear ance of Christmas shopping.
 Judging from the appearance of the crowd it would seem that such a thing as hard times' is a thing of the past in Birmingham. Every one had hustling lool< about them, while the many pack ages made it look like Santa Claus parade.
 The shops were not the only places which were busy though The holiday air which prevailed caused many to think that Christmas was still here and they imbided freely, and they kept the patrol wagon on a steady run all day. About 25 men were arrested by the police depart ment on the charge of public drunk, while one or two were also placed in the county jail. In addition there were many happy beings on the streets who had three sheets in the wind" Most of them were not boisterous, however, and so long as they remained quiet and described circles less than 3A feet in diameter the policemen refrained from arresting them.

The local board receives bids on the same day but will not close any contract until after the conference. They are ex- peeting a renewal of the old bid, or some- thing better. The board adjourned Thurs day to meet again Monday.
 Jefferson county is not in so bad hole as the smaller counties. It ia claimed they cannot work their con- victs on the roads at any profit, while the number is large enough here to make a fine road gang. The suggestion has been made to the board that, instead of taking up the.best bid immediately. they might use the first 20 conviets turned over to them after January as a road gang and give them a trial for one month. All the members declare that this will be done unless they get good price for the convicts. They do not propose to sacrifice anything.

CALLS MEETING
 OF CLUB ATHLETES

w. D. Nesbitt, chairman of the ath- letic committee of the Birmingham Ath- letic club, has called a meeting of all athletes and friends of athletic work for Monday night at 7:3o o'clock.
 Discussion preparatory to carrying a team of the Athletic club to the south- ern championship indoor meet in New Orleans next month will be entered Into, and it is very probable that prelim- mary meet in Birmingham will be ar ranged. !s
 MT. Nesbitt, too, desires to discuss athletics as general topic, and the relation of athletics to the club. The annual society circus, which occurs next March, will be given attention.
 Another matter that will be taken up is the request of certain parties in Montgomery who desire Professor Miles to put on a circus in that city It Is possible that a number of the Athletic club memb CTS will go to Mont gomery to give such an entertainment
