DISASTROUS FIRE
 VISITS GULL MAN

Cullman, December 23.-(SpeciaL)-Culi- man was visited last night with the eighth disastrous fire within the last two months. About o'clock last night the livery stable of Biggers Bros was discov- cred to be on fire, and before the fire de- partment reached the scene the entire building was a solid mass of flames. The fire spread to the Leeth National bank building, not only destroying all of the interior of the large livery barn, but like wise resulting in disaster to the new brick store rooms of the bank. Consider able damage was done to the interior of the room, where the bank was located, but no damage was done to the fixtures
 The Leeth National bank building and building occupied by Biggers Bros. cover almost a quarter of block. The loss to the owners of the property cannot at this time be estimated, but it is expected to reach into the thousands. No insurance was carried on the bank building c. C.
 Schueing, the man who owned the livery barn, had s100o insurance in the building. and MT. Biggers carried s3OOO on the con tents of the barn. This Is said to be not

 STRIKES ANNISTON

Anniston, December 23.-(SpeciaL)- Over $9o0 in fines was paid into the city cofrers Friday morning in assessments against the alleged blind tigers whose proprietors were summoned in the cru sade instituted by Mayor Wikle Thurs day, each of those convicted having been fined $100 and costs on his plead ing guilty.
 w. P. Bradley, Jack Garner, Russ Ross, Tom Ferguson, A J. Leath, John Toney, w. K. Upchurch, w. P. Brad ley and John c. Latimer were those Welch. John Boiling, Will Carson, Ross Chatham and John Eden were continued until December 26, though it is said that they will all likely plead guilty and pay the fine assessed before that date.
 While several of the defendants pleaded guilty by proxy. paying their fines through the proxy. it is said that they cannot be convicted in higher court on their plea of guilty. as the assessment and payment of reason able fine In police court will prevent further prosecution.
 An interesting incident occurred iu tlie case of Upchurch, who made de- mand for his license after he had paid his fine This, however, was not forth coming, as soft drink stands of this character were not admitted to license under the schedule ad,pueu uy the council Thursday evepng.

MEETING TO BOOST
 MUSCLE SHOALS ACT

Florence December 23.-(Special)- With the object in view of boosting the development of the Muscle Shoals power, a bill for which is now pend Ing in Congress, the commercial clubs of Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia will unite in giving a great banquet in Florence on the evening of Decem- bcr 30.
 A meeting of leading officials and business men of the three towns was held last night and plans were per fected which will make the event the biggest which has ever taken place in Florence. Invitations are being issued today to all the Alabama congress- men and senators, Tennessee congress- men whose districts are contiguous to the Tennessee valley, Senator Bur ton, who was chairman of the rivers and harbors committee, and other sen- s.tors and representatives friendly to the shoals project. Governor-elect O'Neal will preside at the banquet and Senator Burton and others approached on the subject have promised to at- tond.
 It is expected to have about 300 pres ent in all and the banquet will be held in the Elks' club rooms. The bill for the development of Muscle Shoals is favored by President Taft, members of the rivers and harbors committee and in fact it is believed by the people of this section that nothing stands in the way of its passage except the lack of sneh a boost as the commercial clubs are preparing to give it on Decem- Der 80. l3tJ

NEWS OF GADSDEN
Home of K. ". BelIinger Destroyed at
 Loss of Several Thousand Dollars

Gadsden, December 23.-(Special.)- Fire at an early hour this morning destroyed the home of F. w. Bellenger on South Fourth street, entailing a loss of some $5OO0 or $6000. The firemen responded promptly and at first it was thought that the blaze was under con- troi but it had gained such headway within the dwelling that it soon broke out afresh and defied all efforts of the firemen. The loss is covered by insur- aEce.
 It is thought that the funds provided for the building of the new water works will be insufficient and that some further appropriation must DC made before the plant can be com pIeted. The shortage is said to be s12- coo or s15,OO0. The city issued bonds in the sum of $60,000 and it was thought that this would be ample, but change in the location of the plant, demapded by the people because of a question of the purity of the water at the point where 1t was formerly taken from the river has made the cost somewhat higher than was anticipated. Just what steps will be taken to meet the shortage has mot as yet been de- cided upon.

 to Miners PRECAUTIONS TAKEN Company Authorities Learn in Advance of Plans Made to Hold Up Stevens on the Way to stoufs
 Mountain
TAKEN
PRECAUTIONS
BY CLYDE ". ENNIS

Hanceville, December 23.-(Special. J. What Is believed to have been a cun- ningly outlined plan to hold-up Robert Stevens, president of the. stouts Mountain Coal company. carrying two pay rolls amounting to about s5oOO, was abandoned here yesterday when it is said the insti- gators of the robbery learned that the company officers had gotten wind of their intention
 The hold-up, it is stated was to have been participated in by three men and the Scenee was near the Stouts Mountain mine of that company. It was figured tha. MT. Stevens would arrive at the mine this morning with the money. Instead he did not reach here until about o'clock this afternoon. The trains were all late on the line and the hold-up, if it had ma terialized, would have been sadly dis arranged by the traffic conditions.
 At a late hour this afternoon the pay master arrived with the little black satch- el containing the money. He was asked if he feared the hold-up men. MT. Stevens said he did not; that he had been carry ing money to the mine for many years and no accidents had occurred. It was noticed, however, that he was accom- panied by two or three detectives. in plain clothes, who, to speak as a dime novelist ''were armed to the very teeth"
 The party boarded awaiting train and was carried scurrying to the mine office six miles from here. The trip was made without incident and the party reached here again on the return to Bir- mingham about o'clock.
 At the Birmingham offices of the Stouts Mountain Coal company 1t was stated that it was not believed any serious at tempt would be made to interfere with MT. Stevens, but that precautions were always taken in case of an unexpected reception.
 About 300 men working for the company were paid their Christmas. money today from the little satchel that Is said to have excited the cupidty of the hold-up men. The men received 1t rather late in the day. but will be given holiday tomorrow and until Monday. The rerort here of the proposed hold-up was kept very qulet throughout the day, bur 1t was noticeable that almost all strangers were subjected to the closest scrutiny by certain people.
 MT Stevens is a veteran mine operator of this district and with his little black satchel is a familiar figure here during nay-day periods The trip from here to the mine is over the toughest country in Cullman county. If any persons desired to hold up a paymaster no more ldeal location could be found. The mountains between here and the mines rise until they almost tip the sky to an observer, and their rocky gorges are of almost bottom less depths The railroad track drops one foot to every 12 on the line between here and the mine, and it is considered dangerous piece of railroad.

DON'T WANT TIGERS IMMUNITY MONEY"
ANNIsTON CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T LIKE NEW METHOD OF DEALING WITH vIOLATORs-REsOL ARE PASSED

Anniston. December 23.-(Special.)- 'sWhat shall we do to be saved?' was the uppermost question considered by the members of the Anniston city council Tn their regular session Thursday evening but when the ancient Christian en- ouirer, their interrogation was prompt- ed by conditions similar to those which confronted Pharaoh during the plagues- they wanted @ source of salvation rom the blind tiger pest.
 The question was the immediate se- ouence of a number of events that have occurred in the city within the past few days in connection with the attempts to enforce the statewide prohibition law, including the new measures Of dealing with the tigers as adopted by Mayor Wikle Thursday of this week, and the act of Alderman Burgess in receiving so- called immunity money from the op- orators of alleged tigers in the nature of a license.
 The matter was brought up in open session and the argument became so in terestng that it was decided proper on the part of the council to go into execu- tive session This was done. and 1t was here that the discussion assumed definite shane in the adoption of the following resolution indorsing Mayor W1kle's ac- lions and reprimanding Alderman Bur pess. the resolution having been intro- duced by Capt. A. P. Agee, president Of the council:
 "Resolved, by the city council, the mayor concurring, That the city admins tration is opposed to any blind tigers be- ing conducted in the city of Anniston, and that the council will aid the mayor in his every effort to suppress them.
 Resolved, further. That the council axnresses it's full confidence in the mayor's desire and earnest effort to en- force the law.
 "Resolved, further, That Councilman Rurgess was unauthorized to accept any money in behalf of the city from alleged blind tigers
 Mayor Wikle stated Friday morning that he will stand by his attitude as taken before the council, and will not agree to treat with the alleged tigers of An niston in any manner whatever. He says that the measure adopted by him Thurs day was purely in the interest of revenue and that in the future he will resort to the regular legal process. He says that he will arrest these same men again O. morrow if he can get evidence against them sufficient to convict

"The Cuticura treatment has abso- luteiy cured me and family of eczema which I. my wife and two-year-old child had for eight months. It started with small pimples on the head Of my child which gradually broke out in sores, and it was not long before and my wife got the same. Our heads were one mass or was terrible. We suffered for eight months. We tried different kinds Of ointments and medicine but it did us no good and soon it began to break out on our bodies until a friend who had the same trouble told me about Cuticura of which I used two sets of Cuticura Soap, (,utic1ra Ointment and Cuticura Resol- vent, and I was surprised. After the first few days our heads began to heal and in two months we were apsoiutely cured of this terrible eczema. Eugene PotthofI, arR 5sl halPn ,sin's SIres'' 0A'yn'
 No stronger evidence than this could be given of the success and economy oi the C1ticura Remedies in the treatment of torturing. disfiguring humors or the skin and scalp, of infants, children ana adults. A single hot bath with Cutlcura Soap and a gentle anointing with Cuti- c,,ra Ointment are oftena sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most dls- dressing cases and permit rest and sleep when all else fails.

EAST LAKE GAR SERVICE

EAST LAKE OAR SERVICE
 Commencing on Saturday, December 24, the schedule on the East Lake line will be changed back to the old one in use before the line was separ- ated at 1st avenue and 64th street.
 In the inauguration of the present schedule at an in- creased cost of $10OO per month in the operation of this line, we believed that the ser vice would be materially i'm proved and that it would be welcomed by our patrons, but on account of the serious de- lays to cars at the railroad crossings in the Sloss furnace district (which delays have been charged against this schedule) we have decided to put back into effect on Decem- Der 24 the old schedule until such time as the viaduct over these tracks is completed, which now seems to be assured.
