Now that the campaign is over 1t is

wires are being laid.

didates for office have already made
themselves known, either among their
friends or publicly. The greatest in
terest centers on the mayoralty, for
which position there will undoubtedly
be conferred a great fight for the nomi-
nation and later for the election.
On the republican side the candidate
spoken of with the most prominence
is ]. Glenn Harris, who is an avowed
candidate. and his friends have already
begun work for him to get the nomi-
nation. The others who have been
spoken OF for the place, but who have
not yet announced themselves, are John
Brennan and George Manlove. These
two will undoubtedly be the machine
candidates. or those who now are lead
ing the local republican club
Two Candidates Eliminated.
The fight for the nomination on the
republican side will be a hot one. TWO
of those who were looked upon as pos
sibilities as candidates for mayor were
eliminated In the last election These
two are william H. Kliver, who was
elected a preventative of the county
and John McFadden. who is now the
assessor-elect of Calumet township.
on the democratic side 1t does not
seem probable that there will be a fight
on at all. as 1t will be conceded to the
present incumbent in the office, Presi-
dent Knots. The chances of the sue
cess of either side in a city election
does not seem to be materially changed
by the voting OF the last presidential
and county election.

BATTERY D MEN
 PLACED ON TRIAL

The trials of 15 members of Battery D, Brandon light artillery, before off, cers of the battery, furnished consider able amusement in the armory last night.
 The 15 defendants were charged with having ''ducked'' certain drills. Thirteen of the 15 pleaded illness on the occasions , of their absences, but none could show 6 doctors certificate. The remaining two declared that they were out of the city on the date of the drills in question, but when it developed that they had been in Chattanooga, which is not prohi- bition city, the excuses were not admit ted

The erection of the armory is live subject among the militiameh of the city and that it will materialize Is generally believed. The aid of government, the state and the city will be enlisted.

CAUSE AND EFFECT Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant discom- forts of mind and body are certain to fol- low continued use of improper food.
 Those who are still young and robust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of appetite and indigestion.
 Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle of Cause and Effect in their daily food. A N. '. young woman writes her experi- ence thus:
 1, 'Scmetime ago I had a lot of trouble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. l got so I was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medicines seemed useless.
 "A friend advised me to try Grape Nuts food. praising it highly, and as a last resort, I tried 1t. I am thankful to say that Grape-Nuts not only relieved me of my trouble, but built me up and strengthened my digestive organs so that l can now eat anything l desire But stick to Grape-Nuts."

TILLETT SPEAKS
 AT OWENTON
DEAN OF VANDERBILT THEoLOo- lCAL SCHOOL ADDRESSES STU DENTS AT BIRMINGHAM COL LEGE.

The students of Birmingham col lege were addressed at chapel yes terday by Dr. W. F. Tillett dean of the theological faculty of Vanderbilt uni versty. The address, which lasted for an hour, was delivered in a scholarly and intensely interesting style, and was re- plete with sound, practical words of ad- vice to the young collegians. Dr. Til lett stated that it was the experience of Vanderbilt university that the advantages which college has to offer are not for the most part accepted by the scions of wealthy homes who may be enrolled as students, but that it was the youth in moderate or cramped circumstances who made the most of his opportunities.
 The address was given throughout the closest attention of students and faculty.
 At the conclusion of Dr. Tilletts words R. S. Munger, the president of the board of trustees, who was on the plat form, arose and after few remarks an- nounced that he would give to some mem- Der of the senior class a scholarship to the theological department of Vanderbilt university and stated further, that the re- cipient should be chosen by a competitive examination. This scholarship will pro- vide a living for the fortunate contestant for three years at that famous institu- ton of learning.
 West Hall. the new dormitory for the students of the Birmingham Training school, the preparatory department of the college, is fully completed and occupied. The building is a handsome structure of three stories, and is equipped with steam heat electric lights, hot and cold water, porcelain bathtubs and modern plumbing. Clyde H. Vann, the principal of the school has his home in the building. The students take their meals at the college commons in Middle Hall
 A gang of surveyors who have been laying off system of sewerage mains near the campus furnish the hope that before long the sewage of the different buildings will be flowing into the main county sewer.
 Much satisfaction is expressed at the return of Rev. Frank S. Price as pastor of the Owenton Methodist Episcopal church. MT. Price is very popular with the students as well as with the people of Owenton. The membership of the church under his ministrations was in- creased by 50 last year. The Sunday school under the superintendence of Prof. L. P. Giddens. has had a marked increase in numbers. The total enroll ment, September 1907, was 14S. with 10 teachers. Today there are about 220 scholars with 20 teachers

BAKER IS OPTIMISTIC

President Wickershaw of the Atlantic and West Point railroad, who presided over the meeting of the General Mana gers Association of the Southeast Thurs day in Birmingham, left yesterday over the Louisville and Nashville railroad for Montgomery.
 President Wickersham stated that he has not as yet appointed the standing committees of the association, but would do so in the immediate future. The president, too, will name the next place of meeting, and has not made up his mind as to whether Chattanooga, Will mington, N. C., or St. Augustine, Fla, will be chosen.
 Judging from the conversations of the several railroad officials of note who were in attendance on the association's meet ing" said MT. Wickersham, conditions are rapidly improving all over the coun- try. There Is no boom. and we are thankful that there is not, for a boom is always followed by a period of de- pression. It Is as the swaying of a pendulum. But the improvement Is grad ual. More people are travelling, this in dicating the condition of the popular purse. The fact that freight tonnage is increasing rapidly is indicative of the increased business being done by the cor porations and wholesale merchants. Cars are In demand, not that the railroads are suffering with a shortage, but that the railroads have ample use for their entire stock. Everything is most encouraging. This is not only true as concerns the Atlantic and West Point, but is true as concerns all the roads. The officials talked most encoura gingly. and we feel much elated after the Birmingham meet ing"
 There was a general exodus of rail- road officials yesterday. Many who att tended the meeting of the general man. agers did not leave until yesterday, and practically every outgoing train had at tached one or more special cars
