Several Fine Buildings There are
Threatened With Loss
THE FLOOD DAMAGE IN TENNESSEE
BIG FIRE IN LOUISVILLE.

Louisville, Ky, April Fire of
unknown origin broke out in one Of
the three buildings occupied by the
Pesslee Gaulbert Co. at Fifteenth
and Portland avenue at noon today.
-Four alarms were sounded and all the
fire lighting apparatus in the city are
fighting il. The blaze is in the CEN
ter OF large manufacturing district,
and there seems little hope Of saving
any of the three buildings at this
hour, as they are IN the center of the
manufacturing district, and the fire
itself is in a building filed with
paints, benzino. oils and other infam-
mable materials. No lives have thus
far been reported lost.

Cannon-BaIl Train Wrecked Last
Night at Wilmington, Tenn.
Several Cars Were Deraled bv the Train
Striking an Open Switch Near
Memphis.
VERY LITTLE DAMAGE WAS DONE

The fast passenger train, No. 104,
due here at / 30 o. IN, met with n
serious wreck at Millington, Tenn,
about IS miles this side of Memphis,
last night about 9:07 o'clock when she
ran into an open switch and was
ditched.
The train was in charge of Conduc-
tor r. L. Wheeler, OF Louisville, En-
gineer Lloyd Grimes and Fireman
Harry Hudson, of the city, and Grimes
and Hudson met with injuries, the
former slight and the latter serious.
Fireman Hudson jumped and in
alighting broke an arm and was other
wise seriously injured. Engineer
Grimes stayed on his engine and suf-
fered only few bruises. Hudson was
left in Memhpis for treatment but
will probably DO brought home this
afternoon. His father received long
distance telephone message last night
soon after the accident saying that his
son was fatally injured but other re-
ports show that ne is not so badly hurt
as has been reported.
The passengers were tossed about
when the shake-up came but none re-
oeived injuries other than slight
bruises. The train was running slow
when the switch was reached or a
more serious accident might nave re-
suited. The train consisted of five
cars all of which were derailed except
one and the engine. They turned
partly over.
Another engine was picked up at
Memphis and taken to the scene and
after, the wreckers from Memphis and
Paducsh had finished the train re-
sumed its run, arriving here at sos
this morning.
The many friends here of the train
crew will be glad to learn the accident
was no more serious than it was.

Retail ssGrocers Association Takes
Prompt Action,
All Impure Goods Must Be Properly La
beIed or They viii Not Be
Handled.
PROF ALLEN GOES TO MAYfIELD

The Retail Grooers Association held
meeting last night, and was adj
dressed by Prof. Allen, of Lexington,
who has been here inspecting the var
ious foods sold in the groceries here
The association, which is COM
posed of about sixty of the most prom
inent grocers, agreed unanimously TO
do everything in its power to promote
the sale of pure foods only, and to
observe to the letter the state law on
pure foods.
The law permits man to sell any
thing he chooses, so he doesn't sell
anything as pure when it is not. He
can sell as much impure food as he de-
sires, so long as it is sold as impure
food, and person knows exactly what
he is buying. Then if he wants to
buy it he has a perfect right to, and
the grocer TO sell it.
Prof. Allen was treated with uni
form courtesy in Paducah, and the
grocers readily promised him the hear
test cooperation. He took a few
samples of food and sent them to Lex
ington to be analysed. and this is all.
The statement in contemporary that
he had confscated food and ordered
other food destroyed was without a
shadow of truth. He has no authority
to destroy or confscate anything. He
is simply trying to promote the use
and sale of pure food.
The result of last nights meeting
is that all local grocers Will requir,
the manufacturers OF impure baking
powders, ETC., to label them so the
quality may be known by the public.
Otherwise the goods will not be han.
died. No local grocer has ever know.
ingly sold goods as pure when il was
not and none desire to do anything of
the kind, hence Prof. Allen had no
trouble of any kind, and was very
much pleased with the cordiality with
which he wsas received here.
In case grocers will not comply with
the state law, when Prof. Allen finds
of chat description, they are indicted.
The state law simply requires grocers
to keep. the goods labeled so it can be
ascertained whether they are pure or
not.
Prof Allen left this morning for
Mayfield for a brief stay.

other Railroad Man, Fatally
Hurt
WERE CRUSHED wHILecoUPlINe CARS

A fatal accident occurred on the
Illinois Central this morning at $40
O'Clock at Brookport, H. soon after
the arrival Of the st. Louis train,
which reaches Paducah at 80 a. m.
Jack whalen, a foreman, and George
Whitehouse, brakeman, were at
tempting to couple or uncouple the
day coach and sleeper Of the train
when the switch engine backed into
the train, and both were caught and
crushed between the bumpers.
whalen was instantly killed, his head
being crushed, and whitehouse was
perhaps fatally injured. The latter
was crushed in the abdomen, and is
not expected to live. They were
taken from beneath the train by pas
sengers. Whitehouse was brought to
the city on the St Louis train and
taken to the Illinois Central hospital
ON West Broadway.
Both men resided at Brookport
Whalen was once a central figure in
the East st. Louis strike, when he
and his brother, Mike, the latter now
ySrdmaster at Brookport, tempted
TO take out train and were assaulted
by strikers. The dead man was shot
in the head and had never been quite
the same since.
tie esme here few yenrs ago and
had Dr. Frank Boyd locate the bullet
with the x.ray machine, then just in
troduced into surgery. He was slight
ly burned by the electricity, and after
returning home brought suit against
DIR. Boyd for heavy damages. The
case went to trial and was won by DR..
Boyd, il being the first case involving
the use of the x-ray ever tried in any
court in the United States.
whalen afterwards went to a doctor
IN Carbondale, and from the photo.
graph taken by DR.. Boyd had the bull
let removed.
He'was about 40 years old, and

Virtues of the Pineapple.

The partaking of a slice of pineapple
her a meal is quite in accordance
|ith physiological indications, since,
hugh it may not be generally known
sh pineapple juice contains a re-
brkably active digestive principle
|nilar to pepsin. This principle has
en- termed "bromelin," and so pow
full is it's action upon proteids that
i will digest as much as one thousand
'mes it's weight within a few hours.
digestive activity varies in accord
bee with the kind of proteids to
hich it is subjected. Fibrin disap-
lars entirely after time. With the
Regulated albumen of eggs the diges-
Ee process is slow; while with the
bumen of meat it's action seems
st to produce a PUPPY gelatinous
PISS, which, however completely dis
Ives after a short time. When
ce of fresh pineapple is placed upon
raw beefsteak, the surface of the
Pak becomes gradually gelatinous,
ing to the digestive action of the
lyme of the juice.
Of course, it is well known that d.
stive agents exist also in other
its, but when it is considered that
average sized pineapple will yield
arly two pints of juice it will be seen
1t the digestive action of the whole
it must be enormous. The activity
this peculiar digestive agent is de-
Dyed in the cooked pineapple; but,
ess the pineapple is preserved by
BIT, there is no reason why the
ned fruit should not retain the di-
tive power. The active digestive
nciple may be obtained from the
be by dissolving large quantity of
nmon salt in it when precipitate
btained possessing the remarkable
estive properties just described
1cet.

BOYS AND GIRLS.
Contrariwise.

Contrariwise.
Mamma was once little girl
Just eight years old, like me;
But, oh, she was as diff'rent-well,
AS different as could be.
She never wanted marmalade
Or jam spread on her bread;
And all alone up in the dark
She liked to go to bed.
And when her nurse would pull her hair
think she always smiled;
And everybody loved her cause
She was the coolest child.
She must have hated holidays
And playing in the yard,
And liked her lessons best of all
Whenever they were hard.
Do you suppose that she climbed trees
And tore her Sunday frocks,
Or ruined all her nice new shoes
In climbing on the rocks?
Or teased the cat or spilled the ink,
Or ever broke her toys?
don't, because she didn't want
To romp like naughty boys.
She could read books, and she could sew
AS we'll as her mamma,
And she could really play piece
To please her dear papa.

And don't look like that

Mamma once used to be.

Mrs. Moore Resigned.

Monday evening the West Reynolds
vile school board held meeting and
finished up the work of the old board,
but did not re-organize because there
was not quorum present after the
old board adjourned sine die. Mrs.
James M. Moore, member of the
board for year, rendered her resig-
nation before the old board adjourned
and the new directors elected, L. ID.
Brewer and Charles A. Herpel, were
not present, hence there were not
enough directors to re-organize.
1t was only at the earnest solicitation
of Mrs. Moore that her resignation was
accepted, and her reason for resigning
was on account of so many other duties
to perform and her health is not good.
After accepting Mrs. Moore's resigna-
tion the board gave her vote OF thanks
expressing their appreciation of her
service as secretary of the board and OF
the faithful performance of her duties
as school director.
Joseph McKernan and James Moore
are the members who retired from the
West Reynoldsville school board.

Large Class Confirmed.

Yesterday forenoon Bishop Fitz-

l02 boys and girls-49 boys and SO girls
in the Catholic church at this place.
This is the largest class ever confirmed
in the Reynoldsville church. The con-
firmation ceremonies are performed
every three years. The girls were all
dressed in white and wore long white
wells, making them look very pretty.
The congregation was too large for the
church and number of people stood
outside. Bishop Fitzmaurice delivered
an excellent and instructive sermon be-
fore the class was confirmed.
