DIR. STEWARDS JOKE
STRUNG REPORTER ON IMAGI-
NARY POISONING CASE.

1t is an unusually dull day when
DR.. p. II. Stewart can't string some
body. Yesterday he told II reporter
about some person taking "chloride
of sodium" He gave fictitious name
and located the scene of the disaster
on North Twelfth street. The yarn
sounded well, and the paper was made
to say that the imaginary young man
came near dying before an emetic
could be administered. The joke is
that Chloride of sodium" is common
table salt. The reporter made mis-
take and had it bromide" of sod
ium, but it didn't keep the doctor from
enjoying the joke.
A we'll known druggist here several
years ago had a newspaper man run
ming all over one part of town looking
for a man who had taken "chloride Of
sodium" and the reporter was very
much disguised when he learned that
what the man was supposed to have
taken was only common table salt.

The action Of the board Of education
last night in following out the Suns
suggestion in regard to issuing bonds
for the purpose of building necessary
school houses, seems to meet with
hearty approval everywhere. The
board cannot on the revenue possible
to derive in Paducah for at least many
years, run the schools and at the same
time make any extensions or improve
ments Neither can the board borrow
money except on anticipated income.
If money is thus borrowed in advance
of that due the schools, and spent for
one thing, there will be just that

Captain Parr, who died recently in
Louisville and left nearly half mil
lion to charity, and has been lauded
in good many quarters since, does
not appear to have deserved it all. He
was probably crazy, or 8 man so mean
and psrsimonious in life would never
have undertaken TO do such great
things after he died. He gave the
daughter who had taken care OF him
in his old age less than any OF his chill
dren. He boarded every nics lie, often
causing his own kin 10 suffer, and it
has Just been learned that he swore
in his personal property at 81, 552 and
paid taxes only on that much, when
his personal property was really S400,-
900. Charity can wells get along with.
out money gotten in such a manner.
His relatives are now preparing to con-
test the will and eight over the prop
erty, and if Charity could speak, she
would doubtless wave her rights and
say to let them have il.

petition to test the validity Of the
ordinance passed by the council i'm
posing q license tax on merchants in
Paducah Of 81 each for every clerk
over two employed. The suit was
docketed by agreement this morning
and submitted for trial.
Judge Sanders short time ago de-
cided in police court when test OF
the ordinance came mp before him that
the council had 0 right to regulate
the city's license taxes, as il saw fit,
and that il was not an IN lawful dis
elimination to make merchant with
business justifying a dozen clerks,
pay . greater license than a merchant
whose business was large enough for
only one or more clerks. As an equi-
table means Of licensing them, the
council passed an ordinance that
merchants shall pay ~ additional for
each clerk over a certain number, rs
. means Of gauging the Volume of
their business, and requiring them to
pay license commensurate with the
size Of their establishment.
Judge Sanders then advised the
merchants that the best thing for
them TO do was to have the case tried
in the highest courts in order to settle
the question for all time to come. This
is what the suit fled today is for
