1t is probable that the neglect Of the
paved streets in this city during dry wealth
er will result in very serious injury to them
during this protracted rain. The accumu-
lated mud upon them, which was
carried there by teams from unpaved streets
until it is now from three to four inches
deep, prevents proper drainage, holds the
water on the streets, allowing it to soak
through the pavement, and thus soften the
earth foundation of the pavement. The
result will be that the pavement must also
soon give way in spots and what might
have resisted the wear and tear Of wagon
tire and horses hoofs for years, will be-
come an almost impossible bog. During
dry weather the paved streets in the city
must have good care. They must be kept
free from dirt, and places which show signs
of wear must be promptly repaired. Then
there will ben muddy paved streets when
it rains, and no paved streets where, to
Judge from appearances, drove of hogs
rooted for dear life. Paved streets are
good things, but like all other good things,
they need care.
-Paducah News of Monday; Last
night about 10 o'clock the Octavia, a small
towboat, which was moored in Island creek,
near the mouth, at the Southern limits of
the city, where she had been for some days,
was badly damaged by fire and from being
scuttled and sunk. We have learned the
following account or accounts Of the blaze:
About the hour named, according to the
statement of the gentleman himself, the
watchman had gone below to pump the
boat, leaving good fire burning in the
stove and lighted lamp in the hall. On
returning he found the cabin on fire and in
blaze, and he proceeded to at once awake
partnerwho was asleep in one of the
berths and this being done he proceeded
to give the alarm in town. On leaving the
boat, he had to goto the engine house be-
fore the alarm could be given, and soon
after this was done the engine was taken to
the neighborhood of the fire and arranged
for work, though in the meantime the blaze
had been quenched by some parties with
the aid of a few buckets and before the en-.
tire boiler deck had burned away. The
boat was being scuttled while the work of
stopping the flames was in progress and
about the time the fire was out the boat
sunk, being further injured; and now only
her nose is to be seen above the water.
The boat belonged to Capt W. l. Parmelec,
of st. Louis, and was by him thought to
be worth, as he stated to News man, some
four or five thousand dollars. She was in
sured for $3,000-$1, 500 each in the Ger.
man insurance company, of Freeport, ILL.,,
and the Watertown insurance company, of
Watertown, N. Y, which companies have
agencies at St. Louis. The FIRE, the owist
concludes, from the watchman's statement,
was an accident. Contrary to the above
accouDt of the fire, there are other state
ments and some not very fattering rumors.
Responsible gentlemen of that part of the
city allege the boat burned by an incend.

tions with crcdence; but of this the News

Chicago Times: advertising is the
fashion this year. 1t is the fashion because
it pays. There is money in it. The ad-
vertiser who advertises most makes the
most cash. His balance sheet at the end
of the year shows the best result. He may
congratulate himself. He has good stand
ing at the bank. He's hunk There can
be no doubt upon this point, for the fact
has been demonstrated over and over again.
The leading business men in every COM
munity are the ones who advertise. They
do not leave the public in ignorance as to
what they have to sell and the special ad-
vantages they can offer purchasers. They
keep themselves and their ware constantly
before the readers eye and not only receive
patronage from home people, but attract
purchasers from the surrounding towns and
country. This in turn builds up the cities,
so that there is certain profit, looked at
from every point in view."

"A little physical set-to occurred be-

Anna Advocate: "In this portion of
the great state of Illinois the people who
were heretofore careless in regard to the
immigration question, are now thoroughly
in earnest and at work awakening an in
terest in the work. We can grow almost
everything in the shape of fruits and grains,
and our proximity to the best markets in
the west enables US to get the very top of
the market for everything we have to sell.
When Cairo actually loads an ocean steam
er at its immense elevator, then the "boom"
will begin in earnest. Think of raising the
finest grain in the world right
at the very door of direct
shipping port to Europe That
day is not so very far distant. II congress
will appropriate the necessary fuuds-and
the west should be attended at once in a
while-Captain Eads' mattress system will
soon straighten and deepen the Mississippi
sufficiently to enable the largest ocean
steamers to come direct to Cairo. This may
sound unreasonable, but we expect to seeit."

The city council met in regular ces-
sion last night, seven alderman, the mayor
and city clerk were present But little
business was transacted and this was not of
much Importance. The most important
was the nomination by the mayor and con-

police officer to gil a vacancy, created on
the force by the resignation of Mr.. James
Kinuear. Provision was also made for the
construction of sidewalk on the north
side of Seventeenth street, between Wash

business of less importance was disposed
of and council adjourned.

Hicks Georgia minstrels drew very
good audience at the opera house last night,
rainy weather and muddy streets notwth-
standing. The gallery and dress circle
were well crowded, and parquett circle was
well taken up. The performance was ex-
cellent. 1t surpassed the expectations Of
all in the house. The members of the COM
pany, twenty one in number, showed them
selves to be men Of culture generally and
of talent in the particular parts which each
undertook. There was, perhaps, not fea-
ture which could have been improved upon,
hence there is no room for adverse criti-
cism. The humorous. parts of the per-
formance were fresh and sparkling, and
never failed to elicit well-merited, hearty
laugh from every one in the house. But
the music and singing were especially fine,
and was always received with loud ap-
plsuse. And this was a high compliment
o the company, for the audience was COM
aposed mostly Of Cairo's best citizens, whose
verdict, thus expressed, may be safely relied
upon. The company deserved better

In consequence of the continued
heavy rains, the streets of the city are in a
very bad condition, and we'll deserved the
thrust given them by one Of the Georgia
minstrel troupe on the stage at the opera
house last night He was addressing the
audience upon the subject of "0ur Present
Condition" Referring to Cairo, he said that
hundred years ago you couldn't have seen
anything but the bare streets of Cairo and
now-now you couldn't hardly see even
them for mud. But while this thrust at
Cairo streets is not uncalled for at the pres
ent time, it could he made against the
streets Of nearly every other city in the
state after such cloud-bursts of rain as have
deluged Cairo for the last week or more.

The president proposes to send mes
sage to congress on the subject Of small
pox. He will advise immediate Legislation
looking to its suppression, but it is safe to
say that he will not recommel G such a
scheme as his predecessor, James Ma llson,
had the pleasure to carry out. The pre-
vaenco of smallpox in the winter of
1928 frightened congress, and an act
was passed, February 81, 1918, authorizing
the president to appoint an agent to "pre
serve the genuine vaccine matter" and to
furnish it through the post Office to every
body who applied. This agent was direct
ed to send copy of the act to every post
master, and also notify every postmaster
how applications must be made for the
virus. To make the system work, leave to
frank letters to and from the vaccine agent
on the subject of vaccination was granted.
The law never amounted to much, 80 far as
staying the disease was concerned, but it
remained in force until May, 1922, or nine
years. The population of the whole United
States in 1912 was not much greater than
that Of Indiana, Illinois and Missouri now.

of imaginative embellishments, with the
true report that he did cheerfully give $3.50
