Reason. For q Divorce.

The Druses sometimes divorce their
wives for apparently the most trivial
causes. Thus man named Soleiman
Alfalfa had wife, Isbakyeh. The wo-
man frequently worked for us, and on
several occasions had to complain
that she talked too much and worked
too little. At length l was obliged to
tell Soleiman that owing to his wife's
laziness could employ her no longer.
Shortly afterward went to England.
On my return after couple Of
months absence l was surprised to
find that Soleiman had divorced Isbak-
yeh and had already married another
woman. On inquiring from him the
cause of this lie replied, "Your honor
told me that you would not employ my
wife again, so thought l would get
rid of her and marry another woman
whom you would employ. Black

Paine'S Celery Compound.
Full Of Life Giving Power and
Virtue Is the Prescription
Of a Great Physician.
1t Has No Equal as a Spring
Medicine.

Il should be well understood by the
ailing, physically broken down and
diseased that the ordinary advertised

life saving work in spring time that
has marked the history of that health
giver, Paine's Celery Compound,
which has cured such desperate cases
Of kidney disease, liver complaint
rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia and
blood diseases.
PaiDe's Celery Compound is the
discovery of one Of the ablest physi.
clans that ever lived, and one of the
strongest proofs Of its worth and value
is the fact that able practitioners pre-.
scribe and recommend it daily.
IL is this Paine's Celery Compound,
dear sufferer, the great nerve feeder,
the marvellous system cleanser and di-
gestive regulator, that we now strong
ly urge you to make use Of st this
season, ifyou lack the strength Of true
manhood or womsnhood. The young

wondr Gus effects. Try its curative
virtues without delay, If you would
be free from your ailments and enjoy

such llfe-giver was placed before

NOT GATHER.

county committee that was announced
to take place tomorrow at the court
house to settle the craftsmanship mud
die will in all probability not take

morning stated that no call had been
issued, and he was informed by the
other men that they didn't know
when II would be made, probably
after the adjournment Of circuit
court.
Chairman Emery said today that
he doesn't care whether the trouble
is ever settled now or not. That he
has done everything possible to restore
harmony and offered the others fair
and feels that it is as
far as he can go.

LIST OF DEATHS In RAILROAD WRECKS

The bulletin recently issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
showing data concerning railroad
wrecks in the United States during
the three months ended September.
1901, will offer some startling informa.
ton to those who have not Kept tab ON
the wrecks as they have occurred.
The bulletin shows that during the
period of time in question there were
2iO persons killed and 2,G2a injured
In collisions, derailments and railroad
wrecks Of other characters. To this
startlingly large number must be
added those killed in other kinds Of
accidents, including employees while
at work, passengers while getting on
and of cars and similar mishaps.
which makes the grand total 725 killed
and O,4s7 injured.
Although this number is large, the
percentage Of passengers killed is
small, as only fifty seven OF the total
were passengers. This. however, is
unusually large and almost as great
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-04-25

as the total number Of passengers killed
during 1900. The passenger Ii st is
swelled by the terrible wreck in
August, 1901, when 2s passengers
and three employees were killed in one
accident,
The total number of collisions was
i,2i4 and derailments ,OO2. OF these
numbers 2i7 collisions and ninety de-
railments affected passengers trains.
The damage to cars. engines and
roadway by these accidents was sl,.
sac, 22l, which amount does not in.
clude damage to contents of cars
The number of employees killed
while coupling cars was thirty. which
is gratifyingly small and is due to the
more &c neral use OF automatic mech
snism for this dangerous work.
The report gives a special report on
accidents caused from freight trains
that were only partially supplied with
air brakes and shows that 1870 men
were injured from this cause, four Of
them fatally.

The Illinois Central has put into
practice its experiment with oatalpa
trees that was spoken of some time
ago.
At Harahan, a few miles from New
Orleans, have been planted $50, 900
catalpa trees for the company on
tract Of ESQ acres, and in fifteen years
the forest will yield 500, 600 ties that
viii be unexcelled by any other wood
for railway purposes.
The Illinois Central has decided to
allow the cultivation Of the land be-
tween the rows of trees on the Hara-
han tract by truck gardeners and small
farmers without cost of rental upon
the one condition that the person Sc
curing the land will keep it properly
cultivated and in no wise injure the
trees. The ground is already plowed,
and is especially adapted to market
gardening, as 1t is very close to New
Orleans, where the farmer can find a
ready sale for his produce.
The experiment by the railroad
company will be watched with the
deepest interest by the people Of the
South at large, as, IL it proves success
full and profitable, it will open new
industry and will give the owners Of
wild lands an opportunity to reap rev.
enue from them at a small outlay.
Much Of the forest lands of the South
is practically worthless, as far as the
timber upon it is concerned, for al
though the forest may have a good
appearance to the inexperienced, a
closer investigation discloses the fact
that there are very few trees upon it
that have any considerable CONNER
cial value.

and brother, Clarence, was arrested
last November on the charge De cteaI-
ing clothing and provisions from a
ranch. 1t was alleged that Woodward's
ranch was the headquarters of a band
of cattle and horse thieves.
At the preliminary trial Bertha
Woodward was released from custody.
The brothers were held to the district
court. but were unable to furnish
bonds. On the night of December 80.
1901, they sawed the bars of their cells
and a window n got away. At the
stock yards east of town Charles
Woodward sec1red a pistol which had
been placed there by a friend. Near
Casper he stole a horse and rode to
his ranch, reaching there on the eve
ming of January 2. 1902. Instead of
finding friends ready to assist him. he
found Sheriff Richer and two deputies
at the house. who were looking for
him. He went to the barn. mounted
one of the she1if's horses and was
about to ride away in the dark when
the sheriff appeared and ordered him
to surrender. Woodward instantly
shot the sheriff through the body and
the officer fell TO the ground, mortally
wounded. Woodward then, il is said.
went to the dying man and struck him
in the a with his six shooter. He
took s45 out Of the officers pockets and
rode off. He was captured by a posse
several weeks afterward near Billings.
Mont, and brought back to Casper.
He admitted the killing and was con-
victed and sentenced to hang today.
Last Thursday the supreme court
granted a stay Of execution which
would have given Woodward at least
three months more OF life.
