MEETINGS TO COME
To A CLOSE AT KNOX
CHURCH ON SUNDAY
LAST NIGHTS SERVICE WAS AT.
TENDED BY LARGE NUMBER.
AND SPECIAL MUSIC FEATURE
OF THE EVENING.

Special services which for the past
week have been conducted at the
Knox Presbyterian church, viii come
to a close with the Sunday night
sermon, and upon that occasion it is
the wish of Dr. Thacker to meet as
many as will be able to crowd into
the church. 1t will perhaps be the
final service for many years conduct
ed by the evangelist named in Pensa-
cola.
There was no vacant room at the
church last night, and those who did
go heard a wonderfully-rich message.
There were special selections by the
choir, and Mr.. jerks was heard in a
pleasing selection.
No services will be held today, it
being the rule to rest up on Satur-
days, and preach three times on the
following Sunday. Tomorrow DR..
Thacker will conclude his work at
the Knox church, as well as in Pen
sacola, with his night sermon. At
IL o'clock in the morning he will
preach on the subject, Progress Of
the Saved" and at night his sub
ject will be "The Philosophy of Liv-
ing" Good congregations are ex-
pected each service hour.
At $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon
tomorrow, DR.. Thacker will deliver
an address to boys and men at the
Y. M. C. A. building, selecting for
his subject, "What Constitutes a
Fool" and this lecture in the past
wherever it has been delivered, has
been of the most elevating nature.
Mr.. Jelks will sing.

TRAFFIC LAW PUT
TO A SEVERE TEST
SCORES OF AUTOMOBILES
WHICH CONVEYED OWNERS
TO OPERA HOUSE, HANDLED
EASILY BY TRAFFIC SQUAD.

Last night the new traffic ordinance
so far as it applied to automobiles,
was put to a severe test on streets
paralleling, fronting and nearby the
opera house building, and despite the
fact that scores and scores of ma
chimes were lined up and stopped
where the position was legal" there
was no accident, and very little
trouble in handling the ears.
Two or three police officers were
on hand and handled the situation as
best they could. Cars occupied both
sides of Government street for dis
lance of two blocks, both sides of
jefferson street for more than block,
or from Government to south of Ear
ragossa street, and ten or twelve were
lined up to the curb on East Zarra-
gossa street. Even along Palafox
were the autos lined up, and in the
large number there were found two
violators of the law. Two cars were
headed north on the west side of JEFF
ferson street, when they should either
nave Deen on the OppO5lbC. SAuS VI 1AC
street, or else headed the opposite way
to have conformed with the ordinance.
Their numbers were taken by Officer
Clark and when the show was over,
the respective owners were formally
placed under arrest, and we're in
formed that their presence would be
desired in the city court this morning.
Police on duty near the opera house
said the cars were more numerous
and at the same time more evenly
lined up along side the curbing than
ever had been to their knowledge.
Some Arrests Made.
Several persons were arrested yes
terday for alleged violation OF the
traffic laws. J. w. Coons was served
with a warrant charging that he had
his horse and buggy on the wrong
side ofsthe street. One man from the
country was also placed under arrest,
and two negro draymen will face the
recorder this morning.

Flags on tugs in the bay yesterday
were displayed at half mast out of
respect to the memory of Jacob
Biebighauser, who was the father of
Mrs. B. j. Trobuk, wife of the owner
of two steamers and number of
barges here. Practically all harbor
tugs so displayed their colors.
The schooner Bailey, which is now
loading in the harbor, has had her
name changed, after recently chang
ing ownership, to that of the Blue

Mobile people who own and operate

HOG CHOLERA
A Large Number Of Infected Animals
In Mason COunty-Serum Being
Used To Prevent Spread.

IL is not possible to tell the exact
number of cases of hog cholera In
Mason county at the present time, but
II can be stated with good authority
that II is in the hundreds. The raw
ages Of this dread hog disease has al
ready killed quite a number of fine an
imals and they are still dying by the
score.
A herd of over 600 hogs belonging to
Messrs. s. p. Lyons and Harlan Day
on the farm of Mr.. Lyons near Or
augsburg, became infected and 1t is
thought that a major portion of them
will be lost State Veterinarian X
p. Moody injected a preventive serum
into these hogs on Saturday, which
will save all that have not as yet con-
tracted the disease, but will do NO
good for those already sick
Mr.. Jacob Reubenacker Of near
Washington, purchased a herd of sew
enty-five hogs recently which were
discovered to have cholera soon after
he got them to his farm. These hogs
have also been treated by Dr. Moody
as also have over thirty more which
he already had and we're apart from
the diseased ones.
The situation in Mason county will
be watched with close interest for the
next few days, as other cases OF the
disease may develop. 1t is not thought
however, that 1t will be necessary to
place a quarantine on the county.
The best way to be sure Of avoiding
the disease is to have all hogs made
immune from the disease by the use
OF the serum.

ROOSEVELT AND ROOT MUST BE
CONSIDERED IN COMING
CAMPAIGN, SAYS WAT
TERSON.

Louisville, KY, April 10.-Under the
caption, Business Is Business" Mr..
Watterson in recent editorial in the
Courier-Journal says:
Upon every side public opinion is
in a more or less fluid state. Party
lines hang loose. The Democrats,
holding the inside track, have an ad-
vantage in the running. Possession
may not give them the traditional nine
points, but it affords an obvious per-
centage. Beside, though in the last
election they polled a minority of the
votes, they are still mutt. It is the
Republicans who. in leaky boats, drift,
as ii were, on an open sea. If the
rival banks can be brought into port,
refltted and victualed, the future may
have another tale to tell.
First of all, however, Skipper
Roosevelt must be seen His old
friends, the malefactors of great
wealth, know him for as sweet a can
didate as ever scuttled a corporation
for a campaign fund, or cut the pigeon
wing OF progress TO tickle the ground
lings and inspire an army of Christian
soldiers. Hence the Gary dinner. That
settled, the second act of this mer-
cenary scheme required that the rank
and file of the Republican party, who
stood by their guns and fought los
ing fight four years ago, he brought
into line. Who so apt as Elihu Root
to give the needed signal?
Hence the Bacon luncheon.
Business Is business, and a party
which has been buying presidential
elections these forty years is not like
ly to balk before SO easy thing as
the reconciliation of Theodore Roose-
welt and Elihu Root. What is little
matter of sentiment among friendly
presidential conspirators?
Besides, the quarrel, IL quarrel
there was, could never have been more
than skin deep"
