HAPPY AGAIN
CADETS AT WEST POINT MAY
SMOKE ONCE MORE.

West Point, N. Y, September 10
On Fridays parade an order was pub
lished announcing that cadets are
permitted to use tobacco during relief
from quarters" within the barrack
limits. 1t was also announced that
cadets would be permitted to buy to-
bacco and pipes from the post store.
The order came as a complete surprise
to everybody at the academy except
Colonel Mills. the commandant. 1t
was the result of q recommendation
made by Colonel Mills to the secretary
OF war month or more ago. 1t went
into effect on Saturday morning.
For 90 years no restriction upon the
freedom of the cadets hss been more
irksome than the prohibition Of the
use of tobacco. 1t was impossible to
enforce the rule. Smoking on the sly
has been the practice Of almost every
cadet in the academy throughout his
course. Most of the smoking has been
cigarette smoking. The penalty for
being caught smoking cigarettes or any
other form of toba eco hiss varied with
the superintendent of the academy.
Under Colonel Mills the penalty has
been six extra hours of duty. He also
received from five to seven dement's
on his record.
1t was the opinion of the superin
tendent and of other members Of the
faculty that . good deal less harm
would come from the free use Of to
bacco in pipes than from the secret
use of cigarettes.

NOW NEARING
Preparations for the Big Carni-
nal Nearly Complete.
The Entry of Old Paduke Will Be
Quite Picturesque-Contest
for Princes.
OTHER NEWS OF THE FESTIVAL

Tho arrangements for the big Red
Mems carnival and fall festival are
nearing completion and several i'm.
portant features have been arranged
for in detail.
The most auspioious opening that
could be imagined will mark the rirst
night when Old Paduke will visit the
city with his tribe Of 100 warriors and
demand the keys Of the city. He will
come down the river with his war
riors in canoes and if peaceably re.
ceived will bury the Ratchet and de-
clare peace.
One feature which will come as
good news TO the merchants is the fact
that the carnival ASSOCIATION will have
q pay day in Paducah and all hands
will on that day receive their money
the total amount aggregating SO, 500.
The employees are spencers and gener
al ly turn loose about all they get
This pay day will come on Wednesday
of the carnival week.
The size Of the Heck carnival com.
pauy which willfurnish the attractions
has often been discussed, many think.
ing It is smaller than the Ferari
shows. This is mistake. the COM
pany carrying larger shows and re-
quiring over three times as much space
for showing that the Ferari company
did. The company carries % cars and
travels by special train.
4 meeting of the executive commit.
tee was held last evening and it was
decided to give flower parade and
prizes of s75 and $50 be offered for
the most attractive rigs It is hoped
to max the Governors day also
flower parade day, and doubtless many
thousand people will be brought here
by the attractions.
a Princess contest will b. held
which will correspond to the contests
heretofore held for queen, five cents a
vote being charged for voting ones
choice for princess. The princess with
"Old Paduke" will lead the big pro-
cession the opening day, and the lat.
ter will be crowned.
The executive committee OF the fes-
tival association will wear cowboy
costume during the week to distin-
guish them from other people, and
buttons for the carnival are now being
made and will arrive shortly, bearing
an Indian head.
A feature Of she week will be an
attack on street car, whioh will be
seized by the Red Skins and run all
over the city by them as per previous
arrangements with the street car com
pany. The plan is to have the mayor
and other city officials aboard when
the attack is made, dump them of,
dislodge the motorman and proceed
with the empty car. IL is not known
whether the officials will consent to
enter the plot or not.

J. r. Womble, Of 1905 South Fourth

fever twenty years ago left me with
weakened kidneys and have had
some pretty severe attacks of back
ache, some of them so bad that have
had to crawl around the house on my
hands and knees. There was no rest
neither day or night, despite the use
Of . vast amount of medicines and
more than one prescription. With very
little expectation that ! would get re

Policy Meets With Approval.
THE ELECTION IN BALTIMORE.
McLane and Wachter Both Claim Elec-
ton as Mayor.

BALTIMORE, Md, May 6.-The ballots
in 304 of the election precincts cast at yes
terdays municipal election in this city give
for the mayoralty. a plurality over Frank
NJ. Wachter, republican. of $40. The bal
lots in the remaining four precincts are
still uncounted, owing to disputes among
the judges Of election. They are now in
possession of the board Of election super
visors. who announced today that the boxes
will not be opened until tomorrow. 1t is
not thought probable that the count of
these ballots will materially change the
result In favor of McLane.
Mr. Wachter, the republican candidate,
and his party leaders charge that many
ballots cast in his favor have been Illegally
thrown out. and they announce that they
will appeal to the courts.
The republican candidates for city con-
troller and president of the second branch
of the city council were elected The re-
publicans will have a majority in the Sec
ond branch of the city council, and the
democrats a majority In the first branch.
The democrats will have a majority on
joint ballot, and thus will be able to elect
the city register, who Is virtually the mu-
nicipal treasurer.
George r. Heffner republican, has been
elected city controller and E. Clay Timan-
us, republican, is elected president of the
second branch of the city council. The
republicans will have a majority In the
second branch of the city council
At the municipal election in 1899, the dem
ocrats carried the city by 5000.

TO TAKE THE FISHER TRACT.
Proposed Site for New Military Pos,
Near Columbus, Ohio.

Secretary Root today announced that he
has decided to accept what is known as the
Fisher Tract as the site for the new mill
tary post near Columbus, Ohio. The Fisher
site is about twelve miles north of Column
bus. on the Oletangy river. 1t contains
about 1000 acres. the purchase price of
which was $50 per acre. 1t is reached by
two railroads and a trolley line, and is re-
garded as eligibly situated, being 200 feet
above the level of the river and we'll adapt
ed in every respect for the purposes of a
military post. The present military post
at Columbus is situated In the heart of the
city and Congress authorized the sale of the
property and the use Of the proceeds in
the establishment of post outside the city
limits il a proper site could be obtained
with the funds available.
The main objection made to the Fisher
site was that the drainage would be
through the city of Columbus. but Secre-
tary DOT holds that this objection can be OBJ
waited by the adoption of a modern system
for the disposal of sewerage Today's ac-
ton Is the result of recent personal in
spection by Secretary Root of the various
sites for the new post which have been
under consideration at the War Depart
ment for several months.
