for the fact that he was dressed as be-

his flowers. She would not marry him,

SOLVED AT LAST

II is understood that one of our al
dermen is to introduce an ordinance
at the next meeting compromising
the cow question by requiring the an
finals to to be "herded" every day and
driven to pasture. This is bright
idea, and ought to go down on tine
official records as ono of the most in
genious suggestions ever offered in a
municipal legislative board. 1t ought
to settle the COW question. All you
have to do is to have man or two, to
be known as cow-drivers, start out
each morning. go over the city, which
would of course require but few
moments, and collect all the COWS.
The cows, by special. instructions from
their owners, would be in waiting at
the gate every morning and all the
COW driver would have to do would
be to open the gate and let her join
the procession. As the various streets
were traversed in order there would be
additions from time to time until all
the cows were in line, and they could
then be taken to the pasture, where
ever it is. We have no public pasture
except Yeiser Park, and of course that
would not do for all Of them. The
various cows could be consulted, how
ever, and asked which particular part
of the country they preferred, and
could be taken there, one at time.
The COW driver could then go home to
supper, and return and escort the bo-
vines back. collecting them from the
various pastures, and delivering them
at their homes safe and sound in-time
to start ont again the next day. This
would keep the cows too busy to think
about loafing about the streets or in
vading peoples yards. 1t is an idea
that could have emanated from the
brilliant intellect of only a city alder

ALL BACK,
MR.. GEORGE ROBERTSON MADE
TWO CLEAN SCORES.

Mr.. George Robertson returned this
morning from Memphis where he at
tended the big shooting tournament.
Messrs. Moses Starr and Walter Will
kins, who also went from Paducah,
returned yesterday. The Paducah boys
made some good scores but Mr.. Rob-
ertson was the only representative
from the city who captured straight
score. He made two straight shots in
10 bird matches and came out second
and third in two twenty bird matches.
Messrs. Starr and wilkins made good
scores also but not so good as the for
mer marksman. There were SO shoot
ers in all and Messrs. W. W. Watson,
of Louisville; J. Lacompte, Of near
Newport, and Tom CLAY, Of Auster-
litz, composing the Kentucky team,
won the first prize and captured three
gold medals for the excellent work.
They made a score of 80 out of 70
birds, two birds higher than the Mem
phis team which captured 81 birds.
The local shooters were well pleased
with the tournament and enjoyed the
trip very much.

that the police court, under the sec

in petty larceny or gaming cases. and

ders has fully investigated the law,
and rendered the decision after care.
full elaboration.
An interesting question has been
raised in the case against the Palmer
Transfer company, which has been
warranted on . charge Of failing to
pay license on some of its hacks. The
law requires livery license, and q
separate license for all hacks run for
profit. The company contends that il
pays a license to do a livery business,
and is entitled to use as many We
hicles as are necessary to run the bus
mess. The carriages, it claims, that
it has not paid license on, are not run
for what trade can be picked up, but
are kept in the stable for exclusive use
in filling orders for weddings, fun
erals, etc. The case was partially
heard this morning and left open.
John Bulger, John Gainor and viii

for petty larceny in the sum Of 500
