AN QUESTION.

There is now q question before the
people, or soon will be, that probably
is Of as great Importance as any that
has been discussed for several years.
II is the matter of securing filtered
water. Those who have long clamor-
ed for better and clearer water will
now, it appears, have an opportunity
to show their sincerity. As we I'M
derstand it, the water company has
not the necessary 500, 900 with which
to put in a filtration plant, and claims
1t cannot be put IN for less. The COM
pany cannot issue bonds and raise this
amount Of money. because Of the OPP
tion the city has on the plant making
foreign capital unwilling to invest
in IL. 1t is proposed that il the city
relinquishes this option, thus ens-
bling the company to issue bonds,
raise the 800, 900 and put in the fl
trstion plant, the company will in turn
give the people better water at all
times, and probably pay the city in
q reduction Of hydrsnt rental during
the life OF the franchise.
Il seems that the city will never be
able to do anything with the option,
even il there were any disposition to
do so. When the plant was last sp-
praised it was found to be valued at
over $500, 900, which the city could
and would never pay for it, and Its
value has increased every year since
and still increases every year. Hence
1t is a question whether, If the option
is never to prove of any advantage to
the city and the people, and by releas-
ing it the city a secure these advan-
tages, were it were not better to re-
lease it and thus benefit the people for
all time to come. The benefits Of the
option are at least doubtful, while
those should 1t be relinquished are
certain, and such as would prove of
inestimable benefit to the people. 1t
is something to think Of and to think
seriously of.

TINE TO STOP.

IL is time for the voters OF Paducat
to stop experimenting, and put mel
in office who will be q benefit to the
city. Il is plain TO anyone who hal
kept track of past administrations in
Paducsh that the people have been
taxed heavily, and have little to show
for II except when the Republican
council was in office. The men in
Office are the ones who are put there
by the same clique year after year,
and there is never any improvement
in their methods. They are men
usually Of integrity and sincerity Of
purpose, 1t is admitted, but they are
not men fitted for public service, and
their acts betray q most inexcusable
lack Of the sagscity, fsr-sightedness
and liberality of mind necessary in
the right kind of public officers
At present we have q good body OF
men, so far as their being representa-
tive business men and men of integrity
is concerned, but they have done
noting for the people. They have
blundered on and on, and displayed
time and again their inability TO
cope with the public questions that
come before them. They have made
the a rate si.s5 20 maintain the
city for only seven months, while be-
fore it has been only sI.45 OF there
about for a whole year. They now
have a city treasurer drawing q sal
airy Illegally, a city engineer draw
ing a salary illegally, will soon have
an assistant city clerk drawing a
salary illegally If prospects pan out,
and they themselves draw a salary
illegally when they hold called ses-
sions. In addition they have refused
to pass d stock law.
II the outrageous tax rate is due
TO the extravagance Of the previous
administration, what was the money
spent for then? We have nothing
to show for is anywhere. Not only
was all the money appropriated for
various other things spent, but the
money appropriated to pay the in
terest on the city bonds, which should
have remained in the sinking fund
until the courts disposed Of the case,
was also spent illegally for some
thing else, and the sinking fund for
paying the bonds themselves has been
used up in useless prodigality.
This thing has been going on long
enough to teach the voters that they

1t appears that the statements that
the president was to call q special ses-
sion Of the senate to take up Cuban
reciprocity was only another yellow
journal pipe dream. The president
has not decided what he will do. 1t
would perhaps be no surprise to g
great many If he does nothing. The
PEOPLE are rapidly being won over to
the conviction that the United States
has done enough for Cubs, and If she
will not come over and be annexed.
she should be cut loose and told to
sink or swim. This education may be
coming a little slowly, but it is GER

Drs. Robertson and Hoyer examin-

Buckner was placed in the patrol
wagon and died Just as his mothers
home was reached on Court street
near Cartwright's saloon. He was 30
years old and had been in minor

Chicago has q murder mystery.

Chicago has a murder mystery. A
fend murdered his mother, buried
her in the cellar. and murdered his
sweetheart and left the body on the
commons. The police have found out
how many clothes the victims had,
the number of spots of blood on them,
where the deeds were probably COM
mitted, and in fact have discovered
everything except where the murderer
is. They might find this out first and
learn the details later.

"In summer time, when that tired,

This strong statement should influ-

Rightly used, kindly treated, given
the same good care as horse, the mule
has always shown himself kind, good
tempered, willing, docile and intelligent.
Moreover, while he has none of the
horses graceful, sympathetic ways of
showing affection and responding to
appreciation, the mule is capable of
genuine devotion to kind master
Both the horse and the ass have af-
fectionate dispositions, and the only
reason the mule does not evince such
is because nothing calls it out. Jack
is not demonstrative, but he does re-
spond visibly to kind treatment.
He makes, moreover, an easy paced,
careful, kindly riding animal when well
treated. Taken altogether, he is use
full intelligent. much enduring, little
appreciated brute, whose melancholy
position is that of dog with bad
name-his good qualities rarely men
toned, while his bad ones are credited
at their full value.

CURING A eALkY HORSE.
Simple Methods May BE Employed

Simple Methods May BE Employed
without Using the Whip.
An expert states that the vice of
baking in horses is almost Invariably
caused by improper breaking and han
ding of the animal while young, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is only high strung and ill tenn
pered horses that balk, and these are
handled with more success by humor-
ing and patience than by severe meas
ures, which generally make matters
worse. 1t is almost impossible to fol
low rules in case of this sort What
will succeed in one case is useless in
another, so that driver must exer-
else good judgment-"horse sense''-in
handling case.
A very good treatment is TO watch
the animal closely in places where it
would be likely to balk, and with the
first sign of stopping the driver should
say Whoa" then get off and loosen
or pretend to change the harness in
some way; also take up foot and tap
the shoe with a stone. Spend a few
moments leisurely in this way, and in
nine cases out of ten the animal will
forget its inclination to balk and will
go on at the first bidding. 1t is also
well to give lump of sugar or a
handful of oats or an apple. This will
always produce better results than Sc
we're measures.
