Mr.. is. Cooley Arrives 10 Change
Plans for Government Building.
He VIII Remain Several Days and
Work will Begin In Less Than
Three Months.
CHANGES NOT DECIDED ON

Mr., Maxwell s. Cooley, of Wash
ington, who is in the supervising ar
chiteot's office in the national capital,
arrived today to begin work ON the
plans for the 800, 600 addition to the
government building here, and will be
at the Palmer house for about week.
Mr.. Cooley has with him the plans.
but will make all the changes that he
deems necessary after consulting
postofilce officials. Today he has been
going over the building and making
few changes pursuant to suggestions
from the government officials here.
One new feature OF the enlarged
building will be large" swing room"
In the basement for the mail carriers.
II is sort Of "loafng place"in which
they may spend their time when not
actively at WORT, and in most places is
converted into a gym nasium.

he changed, but large sky light will
light up tine mailing room. and the
elevator will probably remain where
1t is. The addition will make the
building Just twice as large as the
present structure and a number Of i'm
provements will he made in the ar
rangemeDt OF the various rooms and
Departments, but Mr. Cooley is unable
at present TO determine what they
will be. He will not know until he
finishes his work what the plans will
be.
After the new plans are completed
bids will be advertised for. and the
probability is that by April work
will begin II ususlly takes two and
half months TO arrange everything
for the opening OF bids and awarding
the contract
Work has Just begun on one build
ing that Mr.. Cooley inspected October
~ as he did the ore here, hence il is
seen that some little time is required
to prepare for active work.

MORE CHICKENS GONE
Mr.. Hal Walters Residence Visited
Last Night.
Only One Old Rooster Was Left in
the Hen House by the Thief.

Chicken thieves are still active in
Psducah, and last night the home Of
Mr.. Hal Walters on Jefferson street
at Fourteenth. was visited and thir-
teen hens were taken. There were
fourteen chickens in the coop. and
only one, the rooster. was left. Ev-
identity the thief is not superstitious,
or he would have taken them all in
stead of the unlucky thirteen.
This is only one Of the many raids
on chicken houses within the past few
weeks. Many Of the robberies were
reported to the police, while others
were not. The police have not yet
succeeded in finding any clue to the
thieves.
The chickens were all killed and
their heads left in the yard. Mr.. Wal
ters is the we'll known bookkeeper. ct
Friedman and Keiler's, and would like
to have the thief come after the
rooster.

This Is What the Saloon Keepers Of
Paducah are Now Resting on.
They Have No License and the Alder.
I, men are Deadlooked for indie
finite Period.
ALL SALOONS OPEN AS USUAL

Tho city officials have a hard nut
TO crack ard il may be that the saloon
keepers of the city. about rs in num-
Der, will ind themselves mp against 1t,
rs the saying is.
= The facts, briefly stated, are that not
saloon in the city has q license to do
business The reason Of this is the
deadlock In the board of aldermen.
The Licenses expired the first Of the
year. and the saloon men, as has
beep their custom for years, paid their
money into the city treasury and went
on selling ss II they had new license.
Always when the council met for
the first time in the year, the new H.
censes were granted. This year the
council renewed the licenses Monday
night, its first regular meeting. and
everything looked lovely.
When the board of aldermen mot
Thursday, however, II desdlocked an
the inability TO transact any ofiiciEi
business obviated the possibility Of
renewing the licenses and as both
boards have to grant the renewals be-
fore the clerk can issue tine new H.
ocnses. no new licenses have been is
sued by Clerk Patterson. and the -.
looms are all open without a license
to do business.
There Is no intention to violate
the law, and the same thing has been
done often but this time IL has attract,
ed a great deal of notice because q
is uncertain when the board Of slider
men will break the deadlock and re.
new the licenses.
The matter is one that has aroused
a great deal Of interest during the
day, and has been freely discussed.
some OF the councilmen say IL is the
first time such e state Of Saffirs exist
ed in the city, and they do not know
what the outcome Of IL will be. In
reality the saloons have had no license
snce December 81, but they ran on
rs usual In good faith.
Needless TO say, however, they are
somewhat worried overlthe situation,
and some are afraid TO either keep
open or close mp. but thus far they
are all running as usual.

The service was quite simple. The
choir, consisting Of Mesdames J. F.

A NEW TRAIN.
And One That Should Be ENCOURAGE
BY Every Business Man.

Come to Oskaloosa. The c., B. G.
Q. Railway Company have put on a
new train from Abba to Oskaloosa
that gives a new connection with
Buxton through a hack line from
Hamilton. a.a
The train leaves at Abba at 1926
a. m, and runs through to Oskaloosa,
arriving here about one o'clock. The
train leaves this city at four o'clock
p. m, giving shoppers four hours in
this city in which to do shopping
and to visit.
In addition to this Oskaloosa mer-
chants have decided to give a rebate
Of five per cent on all bills purchas-
ed. This will enable shoppers to
more than pay the difference in fare
in many cases.
Mace Hagan of this city has estab-
lished a hack line between Hamilton
and Buxton for the accommodation
of people wishing to take advantage
of this new train and the fare will
be twenty-five cents each way.
The new train goes into the SER
vice Monday, November 80, and it
will no doubt be literally patronized.
The citizens Of Marysville claim
they will have in due time the larg-
est town in Marion county, to come
about through the development Of
coal fields Astounding whereabouts.

INJURY FROM DRINKING WATER.

DIR. Wiley, chemist for the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington,
says that most of the so-called summer
drinks are snares of The devil, and
that the custom of dosing the stomach
with ice cold drinks in summer is sim
ply suicidal. The extreme cold con-
tracts the pores in which pepsin is Sc
creted and tends to longest the coats
of the stomach. When thirsty in hot
weather one should drink water of q
temperature of 60 or 65 degrees. Plen-
ty of water, drank slowly, at temper
allure no great than 50 degrees,
quenches the thirst much better than
iced water. DR.. Wiley declares, also.
that ice cream eaten IN anything like
copius quantities is very bad for one,
but in making that statement the doc
tor is likely to be disputed by every
summer girl in the land.
