STOLE A MARCH
TELEPHONE COMPANY BUILDS
THROUGH A CITY WITH.
OUT PERMISSION.

Mound City, Dec. is.-The Bell
telephone company has stolen q march
on the Mound City officials. Denied
franchise in that city because they
would not specify rates. they built
their line through the town. Their
action created a sensation, and has
placed the city officials In . very
awkward situation.
The company has toll line IN the
city which has been in operation
about twenty years, and which. It Ia
understood. was brought into the city
limits without permission. No obiec-
tion, however, has ever been raised
against its operation. During the
summer and fall Just past the com
pany made several unsuccessful efforts
to obtain permission from the city
council to establish a central Office
here. The council repeatedly refused
to grant = franchise. upon the grounds
that tho company would not specify
any rates for service. The company
promised. however, to charge Cairo
rates." II Is very evident that the
purpose Of the company lie to crowd
the Cairo Telephone company out aud
tax our people to that extent, which
would admit Of only a few having tel
ephone privileges
The company. under the pretense Of
repairing its line which entered town
along the Big -Four railroad track, set
the poles up the gravel road to tho
city limits. entered the city limits
and set poles through the heart Of the
city. without permission and against
the mayors protest just what will
be done remains to be seen.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1901.
PAUPER IDIOTS.

LOUISVILLE fOst.
The Evening Post desires. to. call at
tention to a great and growing evil in
the administration Of the charities Of
this state. and to ask Democrats and
Republicans to unite in an effort to
check the growth of the pauper idiot
pension list of Kentucky.
We note a disposition in certain
quarters to make party question OF
this matter, because a democratic
auditor refers to it in his semi.annual
report. Again, there is a disposition
TO look on it as a reflection on the
mountain section OF the state.
The Evening Post is not a partisan
newspaper, and it desires nothing so
much as the prosperity Of the noun
tain counties Of Kentucky. This
growing pauper pension list is a stand
lag reproach TO certain counties in
Kentucky, and these counties, when
they understand it, should be the first
TO demand a change.
The support Of a pauper falls on the
county, and no county can make their
paupers a charge ON the state.
But a pauper idiot may secure from
the state an annual pension Of s15.
To get his OF her name on the pen
sion list, it must be shown that the
pauper is over eight years Of age, and
that he or she has been an idiot from
birth.
One result, has been that so-called
paupers who are not idiots in fact
become idiots in law; their support is
shifted to the state, and they become
a source of income equal to a 8 per
cent bond of 81, 500. =
Another result Of is that pauper
idiots from neighboring states come to
Kentucky. By this law we invite q
most undesirable class Of immigrants.
No other state has such system
Of relief, SO unreasonable, SO illogical,
so indefensible.
Note the effect; This pauper idiot
pension list has ON il now 2,04O
names. and calls for more than $780,
600 annually. This is bad enough as
a mere. statement of fact, but there is
en- even more calculated to excite
concern: This list has doubled in
the past ten years, whereas the in
crease in population has been but 10
per cent We have added to our
population in ten years but 2SS, 900
inhabitants, and 1000, Of that mum
Der have been pauper idiots The
evil is too manifest to be denied, and
the men Of the mountain counties, we
repeat, should be the first in their
demand for such changes as will Grad
icate it altogether.
The remedy can be secured by clos
ing the state treasury to such claims,
requiring each county to care for its
pauper idiots, as each county is now
required to care for it's paupers.

WHOSE TROUSERS
REAL ESTATE MAN WOULD RE.
STORE THEM TO THEIR
YOUTHFUL OWNER.

Mr.. ". n. James. the real estate
man, ia the richer by one pair of boys
pants today.
Yesterday his horse strayed away
with the buggy and thinking his son
had the rig he gave the matter no at
tention Later in. the day he found
that his son had not seen the horse
and then concluded that some one had
either stolen it or that the animal had
strayed away. He instituted search
and after a time found two boys in his
buggy driving his horse to their
hearts content.
Are you boys having a nice time"
Mr.. James inquired.
"Yes sir" they replied, I'VE are. "
"well then it is about time you
were going to the police station" and
with this Mr.. James grabbed the near
est urchin by the pants leg, but the
boy skinned out Of the trousers and
fed. The pants are still in Mr.. James
possession. II the boy will call at his
Office he may procure his lost wearing
apparel without fear Of punishment.
The boys had evidently found the
horse after 1t had strsyed away and
they embraced the opportunity that
fortune placed in their way to have a
good time.

Something seems to be wrong with
the health authorities. Some OF the
physicians claim that they report cases
Of contagious diseases to the proper
authorities and no warning signals are
promptly posted, as the law requires.
There is heavy penalty attached to
this sort Of negligence, which.is really
