Due Notice Is Served.

Due notice is hereby served on the
public generally that Dewitt's Witch
Hazel Saive Is the only salve on the
market that is made from the pure, un-
adulterated witch hazel. Dewitt's Witch
Hazel Salve has cured thousands of
cases of piles that would not yield to
any other treatment, and this fact has
brought out many worthless counter
feits. Those persons who get the gen
uine Dewitt's Witch Hazel Saise are
never disappointed, because it cures.

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
It is neglected consumption
that is SO often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has. in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emil
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

A story of CoIeridge's boybood, which
appears III a book by Mr.. Wilfred
Brown on the poets childhood and
later years. shows the dangers that be-
set the star gazer and also the rewards
that come TO him. From bis early
youth Coieridge lived ia world OF
books and dreams, yet bis favorite
walk seems to have been the Strand
the last place in the world for q poet
to lose himself In reyerie.
As he gtrolled down the street he
imagined himself swimming the Helleg-
pont, the feat OF which other poets
had written and which the poet Byron
was to accomplish later. Once. while
the mind OF CoIeridge was thus far
from the busy Strand, he absentfy
thrust his hands before him In the
manner of one swimming. Suddenly
one hand came in contact with gen.
tleman's pocket
The gentleman, thinking to capture
a thief, seized the hand and exclaimed:
What SO young and so wickedr'
He accused the poor, poetic boy Of an
attempt at pocket picking.
With some fright and few tears the
boy explained, and we can imagine
that words did net fail him who was
to become the most brilliant talker OF
his age The gentleman was delighted
with Coleridge's Imagination, which
could turn the Strand into the HeIIes-
pont The intelligence Of the young
Leander made the stranger inquire In
to Coleridge's tastes. and when he
found the boy liked books he opened
for him subscription at the circulate
ing library in Cheapside.

Refused to Revoke the License
of Paducah Company.
Judge Pars Submits An Opinion That
it Cannot Be Legally
Done.
END OF HOT CONTROVERSY

The Paducah Distilleries company
and the f. W. Cook Brewing oompa-
ny have again knocked out tine people
of Mayfield who have attempted for
some time past to prevent their doing
business after they paid the license
and were granted legal authority to do
90. The Mayfeld council at meet
ing held night before last, refused to
revoke the license. O.
Mr.. Morritz Friedman, Of Psduosh,
Ia manager of the Paduoah company,
and when he went to Mayfeid to open
. wholesale liquor house, at which nc
quantity under ave gallons can be
sold, the license was 500 year. He
paid the money and the license was
granted.
While preparations were being made
to open mp, some Of the people became
indignant and held mass meetings,
went before the council and 1t was
even intimated that if the Paducah
company did not get out it would be
run ont. The council met In its haste
TO cater to public sentiment and raised
the license to $1,000, but found that
this could not be made retroactive,
but only made IL better for the Padu-
cab company, as the exorbitant license
would keep competition out.
Such hurrah was raised that Mr..
Friedman offered to return the license
il the city or the people paid him
81, 900, the smount of money the city
itself had decided such license was
wor h. but nothing was done and the
company has been doing business ever
since.
A demand was recently made Of the
council to revoke the license and

Metcalf was standing at the rear end
of the machine and pieces of broken
castings aud cogs were thrown all
about him but only one struck his
body, this being heavy piece Of frame
which mashed his foot badly. The
machinery was stopped as soon as pos
sible but not before tho planer had
been totally wrecked.
This morning machinists were work
ing on the planer and a new set of
csstings will have to be made and the
machine practically rebuilt in its deli
cate workings. The pattern makers
have been set to work making patterns
and the machine will be put in conoi-
tion for service again as soon a. posi-

Nothing Accepted But Manifest Trains

Yards Today.
THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL NOTES

The freight in the local !. @. yards
10 in q congestsd condition and the
yard is practically blocked to anything
but manifest trains. w.
This condition has prevailed to some
extent for several days and is the re-
suit Of the big business of the road
and also shortage in crews. The
company is putting forth every effort
possible to secure more crews and
switch engines are at work inoessant-
ly in the yards moving the freight
about getting il ready for shipment

There. are about 500 cars in the

for the south and two hundred for the
north. That for the south is being
hauled out as rapidly as possible but
nothing except manifest freight and
empty coal cars are being taken north,
the 200 cars in the yards being prac.
tically blocked for day or two Or
dinarily there are no more than three
hundred cars in the yards and these
are kept on the jump all the time.
One official was seen this morning
and asked about the situation and
stated: I've are cleaning up the
north end as rapidly as possible and
have nothing out except forty cars a
short distance above. We will clean
this mp as soon as we can secure crews
enough to move it. We are not so
badly situated as we have been but
are in q measure blocked. Tine comps-
ny is doing a big business and we take
nothing today for the north for imme-
diate movement except manifest and
empty coal cars.
