BRICK FAMINE OYER
KatteriOhn Company VIII be
Able to Fill Orders Soon.
Work on New Buildings and Repairs
to Resume.

This morning the Katterjohn Brick
yard Co. filed the first order for brick
since the famine has been on in Padu'
OH. This order was fo' $4,000 brick
to build small house in the Worten
addition. Mr.. Katterjohn stated this
morning that he would have plenty
of brick as soon as he got well started,
but 1t would be a week probably be-
fore he could fill another order.
"The high water has stopped the
other brick men," Mr.. Katterjohn
stated, "but we are situated so that
we will not have to stop on this ac-
count. We will be in a position to
furnish plenty of brick within week
or two and the building trades will
then boom again. You can just say
the famine is over"
The work on the fraternity building
and many other buildings in Paducsh
has been stopped on this account and
as soon as the brick can be secured
will begin again.

King secured an attorney and
through him negotiated with Messrs.
Starks and Tagg, the losers of dia-
monds. for the return of same, which
was effected. Now it seems that the
grand jury has been partially blamed
for the escape made by King, who was
allowed $3.50 bond in the circuit
court in lieu of the $500 bond fixed by
Judge Sanders.
AS soon as released King skipped
out and has not been seen since. His
case was called in circuit court last
week and not answering the bond was
declared forfeited. The grand jurors
claim they have been mistreated by

is A Big CONCERN
Some Interesting Notes About
Well Known Medicine Co.
The Thatcher Medicine 20. Now Plac'
ing Its Remedies in Paducah.

Ii has long been matter OF com
ment that the so-called patent medi-
cines continue to increase in sale from
year to year. Not only the poor and
middle classes, but the rich as we'll
are constant users of the standard REM
edies, and millions Of capital is invest
ed in this branch of business.
Some interesting facts concerning
the Thatcher Medicine Co., one of the
largest concerns of its kind, were gath
cred from Mr.. N. II. Haymore, man
ager of sslesmer, and Mr.. t. ]. Har-
ris, special representatives, who ar
rived IN the city yesterday and are
stopping at the Palmer.
This concern is proprietor OF DIR.
Thatcher's Liver and Blood Syrup,
Liver Medicine and Stella Vitae, the
former having been on the market
fifty -one consecutive years.
DIR. Thatcher, the founder of this
house. was opposed to promisouous
advertising. He spent a lifetime in
perfecting mis- medicines and thought
they should sell purely upon their
merit. About six years ago this com
pany passed into new hands. An ag-
gressive policy of advertising was
adopted; for instance, l.S02 newspa-
pers are now used, including practi'
cally all the leading dailies. In addi-
ton, their issue of almanacs and book
lets next season will exceed 5000, 900.
Some conception of the amount of
paper this company uses annually can
be gotten when it is stated that II the
material they use in their booklet and
almanac for one year was printed in
one continuous strip one sheet wide 1t
would measure nearly 35,0 miles,
almost one and a half times the cir
conference of the earth, and would
weigh over one-halt million pounds.
II the paper were laid beside straight
level railroad track it would take the
swiftest express train two months to
run from one end to the other.
The position of the Thatcher Medi-
cine 90. as to druggists is different
from most concerns. Their goods are
placed with the druggists in such
way as they can make q reasonable
profit. Their literature has never been
filled with vindictive warnings against
their integrity. Tney have long re-
cognized the fact that the druggists
have rights as we'll as the patent med
icine concerns; hence their relation
has always been exceedingly cordial.
1t is a standing proposition of the
Thacher Medicine Co. that they will
mail their formula for Liver and
Blood Syrup, or any other of their
preparations, to any reputable physi-
clan in the United States. Their for
mulae are published from time to time
not the process of their manufacture
or the proportions, but the simple in
gradients. If their preparations were
not of the very best they could not
afford to expose them.

the commonwealth attorney was ut
once informed of the fact by one OF
the jurymen.
But in the circuit court before this
time, william Kings attorney Ia ne
phew of the commonwealth attor-
ney) had placed before the judge
statement to the effect that there was
practically no evidence against King,
and that he kings alto, n y)land the
commonwealth's attorney had agreed
that, as there was a chance to get back
the diamonds that had been stolen
from Tagg and Stsrks, they thought q
bond of $3.50 would be enough for
King to give, rs he was poor man
and could not give $500 bond. AZ
ter the commonwealth attorney came
Into the court he was asked IL this
was his agreement He said yes. but
that a stronger case had been made out
than he had been led to believe would
be made. He was then asked II he
objected to that bail but he went
ahead and allowed the bond to be
made, and as the diamonds were now
safe, King was released ON $3.50 bond
at 1915, with his attorney as his
bondsmean. We would say IN connec'
ton that there have been no cases,
even of petty larceny, that have come
before us, In which the bond was less
than $500. We make these statements
because the papers and many citizens
have insisted that an investigation
should be made by the grand jury.
We did not find anything left for us
to do, more than was done.
Because majority Of the jury have
not seen fit to find some indictments.
as the commonwealth and county at
torneys thought should be done, they
have seen fit to remark that such q set
of men did not have sense enough to
sit on grand jury. We will submit
our acts to the public and allow them
to decide upon that point to suit them.
