LOST HIS TICKET.
A PASSENGER AT THE DEPOT
HAS AN EXCITING TIME.

Depot employees have a great deal
20 contend with. Il is not occasional
", but an every day affair. Yester-
day an old fellow who seemed to feel
an Importance that he doubtless did
mt possess. entered the baggage room
OF a local depot and butting into a
crowd Of persons waiting their turn to
have their baggage checked, wasn't
satisfied until the haggageman had
told him IN terms that were unmistak-
able in their meaning TO "go way
back aud sat down, until it came his
turn.
When it got mp TO him, he said he
wanted his baggage checked to Louis.
Vile The baggagemaster asked 10
let him soc his ticket, All passengers
are required 10 show tickets before
their baggage can be checked. Well,
he began to look Cor the ticket, and
he searched first one pocket and then
the other, He would slap himself
over each pocket and feel carefully ev-
cry inch OF his clothing in the vicipi-
ty of each one Of the pockets, bat he
couldn't land ON the ticket.
Then he began TO take out cards,
books, letters and othe- odds and ends
from his pocket. Others began TO
come and stamp impatiently as they
waited for the bewildered man to find
his ticket. He looked and looked,
accused everybody he could think of
who happened not to De present of
stealing it,and then started the search
all over again, but nary ticket could
he unearth in his pockets
Finally he took off his hat to mop his
perspiring brow, and there snugly
stuck in the band so il could be easily
found was the missing ticket. He
shsmefacedly handed it over and got
out as quickly as he could.
SAM" he sharply said to one of
the darkeys, on the platform as he
started away, "do you reckon that
baggage of mine will get to Louis.

MUST OBEY
Residents Of the County to be Pros
ecuted by County Health Board
Penalty Quite Severe for Refusing to
Have Children VacoiDated.

Local representatives of the state
board of health will make it hot for
those in the county who have refused
to have children vscoinsted. An order
was issued some time ago, about the
time that there was smallpox in GER
tain sections of the county, to have
all children vaocinated in compliance
with the rules or laws formulated by
the board of health as authorized by
statute.
A number Of people with an erro-
neous idea of the power OF health
boards have imagined that they know
more about the law than the officials,
and have refused to have their chill
dren vaccinated, and the result is a
number of the schools have had to
close.
The statute requiring children to
be vsccinated fixes no penalty, leaving
the state board to do it, and this had
LED some to think they cannot be
fined. Mr.. Theodore Luttrell, Of the
county, in order to test the law, re-
fused, and, been warranted. His case
comes up tomorrow before County
Judge Lightfoot The question seems
to be purely one of law, and the law
under which he was warranted is as
follows;
Section 2055 Of the Kentucky stat
utes, relative to the county health
boards, says: at shall be the duty
of the state board to appoint three or
more INTELLIGENT citizens residing in
each county Of this state, who shall
constitute a local board. Such boards
are empowered, and it shall be their
duty, to inaugurate and execute and
to require the heads of families and
other persons to execute such sanitary
regulations as the local board may CON
slider expedient to prevent the outbreak
and spread Of cholera, smallpox, vel
low fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria
and other epidemic diseases; and to
this end may bring the infected popu-
lation under a prompt and proper
treatment during premonitory or 9th
er stages of the disease, end said
boards are authorized and shall have
power to enforce the rules aui regula-
lions Of the state board OF health, and
any persons who shall fail or refuse
after written notice from TIC local
board or state board to observe or
obey the written request, shall be
fined not less than ten nor more than
one hundred dollars for each day he
so fails or negleots.
The county board of health is com
posed of Drs Frank Boyd, J. Q Tay-
lor and II. T. Rivers.

Strange Place for Wedding.

How many people know that Lord
Rosebery was married to the wealth.
est heiress in the British Kingdom in
London workhouse? The registrars
office where the ceremony was per-
formed was in st. Georges. Hanover
square. vorknouse, in Mount street,
the registrars Office and workhouse
being then unuer one roof; and though
the usual rites Of the church were sub
sequently observed in Christ church,
Down street. the fact remains that
the late premier was married within
workhouse walls. Few men, indeed,
have ever wed two and a half millions
in such a place.
