The State says DR.. j. w. Dabcock
reports little change in the condition
OF the Mormon elder who was given
severe treatment i'm Williamsburg
county few days ago on account OF
his offending Il lady OF the Lake City
section. The dementcd elders travel
ing companion has called on him here.
These elders always go about in pairs.
The question now arises, What
shall be done with this insane man?"
He is not a citizen Of tiiS State and
the law provides that the State of
South Carolina shall not take care of
parties in such Il condition unless they
have been residents for two years
preceding. This was done in order to
Keep nelghborlng States from impos-
ing upon South Carolina. AS the elder
is citizen Of Utah it is thought that
he should be cared for by the people
or that State.

THE main difference between the
New. York and Chicago. horse shows"
says the Chicago Tribune, "ls the
amount of diamonds displayed. New
York beats Chicago about two barrels"
This causes the. Kansas City Star to
observe that the main difference be
tween the Kansas City horse show and
those in New York and Chicago IS IN
the figures on which to display dia-
monds. and In this particular KANSAS
City beats both OF It's rivals by thou
sand miles.

SPEAKING or eABR r

Nerve seems characteristic of the
present city administration. Some one
has had the gall to suggest in the coun-
oil that the city of Paducah, or to be
more exact the taxpayers Of Paducah,
psy the $500 attorney fee incurred by
Msrshal Grow in his recent injunction
suit. It is very unfortunate that Mar
shall Grow should have had to pay
oct his own money TO test a question
in the courts for the benefit Of others
who wanted to know" but If those
who feel guilty conscience over the
transaction think the marshals bill
should be paid by some one else, they
should pay it themselves. The effort
to have this bill footed by the taxpay-
ers is about as monumental piece OF
gall as the effort made by the same
crowd not long ago to have Judge
Pryor's opinion paid for by the city.
Another piece of gall is that Of the
official who was recently declared by
the highest court in the state to be en-
titled to discharge the duties and col
lect the compensation CT prosecuting
attorney under the third class charter,
trying to pose as "city attorney" and
discharge the duties of "city attor-
ney." The only city attorney Padu-
cab has is the one elected under the
third class charter for two years, who
is still holding the office and drawing
the salary, and is enormously called
the city solicitor. The gentleman
who is now trying to pose as "city at
torney" and to exercise the privileges
of city attorney elected under the
second class charter, is only ''prosecut.
ing attorney" elected unuer the third
class charter, paid under the third
class charter, and entitled to discharge
only the duties imposed on him by the
third class charter.

One of the peculiar inconsistencies
of the council is how it can pass an or
dinance taking steps to condemn 10 or
90 thousand dollars worth of property
for the city when there is not cent
in the treasury with which to pay for
it, and none appropriated, and then
turn around and have to defer ord
nances to condemn a small strip o
ground for street improvements, b
cause there is no certificate from { E
auditor that the money to pay for
them is in the treasury.

BACK TO KENTUCKY
Former Officer Tom Orr and
Wife Return From California.
They Did Not Find Things SO Pleas
ant As They Had Anticipated.

Former Police Officer Tom Orr and
wife returned last night from Califor-
mia, where they went several weeks
ago to locate. MIR. Orr says that he IL
glad to get back to Kentucky and Pa
ducah, and intends to stay here il the
people will let him.
California is great country. but ii
is being overfiowed with people from
everywhere, many Of whom go there
under q false impression. Mr.. Orr
says that there are doubtless scores OF
men and women there now unable TO
get work or get back east. He met one
man from Princeton, KY, who said
he would come back home II he had
the money, but didn't have it.
Many Of the people desiring . change
of location are induced to 20 there at
season when everything is at its best
and are shown by some Of the land
sharks how they can buy valuable or
ange groves for . moderate cash pay
ment and the balance on time, and
soon pay for IL. They invest all their
money and bad fruit year or two pre-
vents their making the payments, and
the sharks soon foreclose and recover
the land, and leave the unsophisticated
citizens without money enough to get
back east. Every train that stops in
many Of the California cities empties
out huge loads Of immigrants who
have come there to locate. with the
result that the country is rapidly be-
coming overpopulated.
Mr.. Orr resigned q good position
here on the police force to 20 west,
but he will doubtless have no trouble
in getting on again, as he has always
been a first class and popular officer.

A story that rivals Colonel Pete Bur
nett's famous narrative of vinegar
spring near Reelfoot Lake, which
went the rounds a few years ago, has
just been published in European pa
per, and states that q cowboy has
found in the Yellowstone Park, Unit
cd State, immense deposits Of "corned
beef which are capable of sustaining
the whole world for quite while. In
explanation it says: Evidently enor-
nous droves of cattle have, during the
triocene period, been caught by rev.
olution of the earth and buried by the
thrown down masses. The extensive
saline deposits in the district preserved
and seasoned the meat, the cold of the
Zoe period kept it for milleniums, and
under the influence of the immense
pressure of the masses of earth and
stones it has been transformed into a
kind of salt meat, which, as to taste
and nutritiousness, is not inferior to
corned beef" Joe Mulhatten evident
" has a successor.

lilly News of Friday, Sth inst.
There Is absolutely nothing new to be
said about The Devils Auction. Charles

spectacle which. for more years than it Is
pleasant to remember. has paid it's an

city As produced in the Opera House to
a large audience on Thursday night the
ballets seemed to have lost none of their
effectiveness, the scenery none of its
beauty. the plot none of its interest, while
the garnishing of specialties was quite
the best which Manager Yale has ever
introduced. Although a great deal might
be written of the performance did time
and space permit. comment must resolve
itself into brief mention of four very
entertaining fcatureS-namcly the cN-
cellent acting of James b. Mackie, the
accrobatic turn of Dewitt and Burns. the
marvellous performance of Irene I.atour
and her dag Zaza, and the good work OF
Miss Madge Torrance who. in doublot and
hose, was an altogether interesting pic
ture to lool. upon.'
