Caught-Then Played Possum.

Mr.. George NJ. Wilson, deputy
sheriff at Smithlann, Livingston
county, passed through the city this
morning en- route to Eddyville with
Georgia Ann Cook, oolored, who is
being taken to Lyon county to answer
the charge of burning rails and tim
Der.
The woman is tall yellow negress
and several months ago was given .
heavy Jail sentence for wsylaying an.
other nergo named Campbell and
striking her on the head with an iron
bar. After she had served this term
Deputy Sheriff Wilson was ordered to

to escape. She got as far as the gate

her. She Immediately feigDed illness

ENGLAND Is MAD AT
SULTAN OF TURKEY
Trouble With the OttOmans
Now Possible.
Turkey Is Alleged to Have Violated
the Neutrality Agree
ment.
LET RUSSIAN SHIPS PASS

London, July 1s-In the absence Of
official news from the seat Of war,
offici.l and diplomatic circles today
are taken up with the report Of
Turkish break of neutrality in per-
mitting Russian armed vessels to pass
through the Dardenelles. The passage
of the volunteer cruisers Smotensk
and Petersburg, some days ago,
aroused adverse criticism and this has
now changed to open condemnation OF
the Turkish course.
The Russian guardship Chernomo-
retz was permitted tc pass Sunday
morning.
England is bound by the terms Of
her treaty with Japan to prevent such
assistance being given Russia. and IL
is said stringent measures will be
taken to punish the offending Turk
and prevent recurrence.
Almost without exception the news
papers comment upon the Russian
volunteer feet steamers passing the
Dardanelles, and the government is
urged to take action, especially for
the protection of British commerce in
the Red Sea and the neighboring
waters.
The Daily Telegraph, concluding an
outspoken protest, written with traces
of government inspiration. says:
There ia limit of oomplaisanos
when neutrals commerce under the
British flag is molested IN q way to
which we have for q century and
half unused.'
Special dispatches from Berlin echo
the feeling of irritation thas exists in
London.
The Standards Toxic correspondent
cabling under date Of July II, says
the Jill Shimpo, in an editorial, ex-
presses the hope that Great Britain
will see that Turkey lends Russia no
assistance by allowing steamers Of
the volunteer feet to pass the Dards
nelles.
The Jill Shimpo declares that Great
Britain is bound under the terms Of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance to pre-
vent such assistance being given.

THE POLICE BOARD
STARTS GOOD MOVE
To Ask the General Council for
Vacation for Officers.
It Will Cost Little and Give the Men
Badly Needed Rest From
Work.
OTHER LATE CITY NEWS

The Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners has decided to ask the gen.
eral council for permission to give .
weeks vacation to each police officer
in the city Of Paducah. ct full pay,
and it is believed that the move will
prove popular and successful.
Tonight at the regular. meeting Of
the council the following will be sub.
mitted:
"To the Mayor and Common Council
of the City Of Paducah:
Gentlemen:-We ask permission of
your honorable body to give each
member Of toe police department one
weeks vacation, with allowance of
pay for same.
(Signed.)
JOHN BONDS, Chairman"
This OF course means one week s
vacation = year. The cost to the city
would not be much, and the move is
likely to prove popular, as the police
officers work hard and seldom get o
day of, because they cannot afford ii
on the salary paid them. The firemen
have had their days off for years, bu,
the police are supposed to work from
one weeks end to the other without 4
rest unless they pay for it.
The regular meeting of the board
of oouncilmen will take place tonight
at the city hall with considerable
business Oh hand. The semimonthly
bills will be allowed and there will be
much other business.

Superintendent Kebbler, of the city
light plant, today removed from the
market house the wires formerly used
for the arc lights there. These lights
were needed by the city and were
tsken out sometime ago, but the wires
were left and have now become dan

in the market house and the old wires
were useless.

In talking with Mr.. Ralph, the Mime
sofa engineer, who surveyed the, Glass
ton drain mo. 2O) we obtained some in
formation which was of value in levels
Of the country. = :
In ditch No. 20, v hich begins ~ miles
southwest Of Glasston and emptie4 into
the Red river, we learned that there is
a fall # 81 feet from its head to its point
of discharge. At its mouth it is Ii feet
above the low water mark in the Red.
In the first eight miles it has fall Of
feet to the mile. The next three miles,
across the Big slough, there is tall ot 3
feet and the last section of 8 miles to the
river has a fall of 2 feet to the mile.
Estimating from this basis, the land
west of Cavalier at the point of juncture
OF the proposed east and west drain
south of Hamilton, with the Tongue riv-
er would be SO feet above the low water
mark in the Red river or 70 feet to dis
charge 15 feet above low water mark in
the Red. The distance is % miles, which
would give an average fall to the ditch
of 81 feet to the mile, not allowing for
the fall in the Red river for six miles,
which is here probably not more thar. a
foot or foot and a half to the mile. MIR,
Ralph estimates the cost OF such ditch
at S35, 900. Another ditch from the
Tongue to the Red, mile and half
south of Bathgate. which would be 1G
miles long would not cost as much but
placing the cost OF the two at $4,000 it
would not be great when the area drain
ed is taken into consideration. Averag-
ing it and it would moi be over SIS to the
40 acre tract.-Pink Paper.

BACK UP THE PURE FOOD LAW.

We see by the Fargo papers that Prof
Ladd, the pure food officer of the state,
has been going, for the Fargo butchers
tor the use of boracic acid in preserving
meats and several OF them have been
fined. In these cases the meat preserva.
tive, and in some cases the meats them.
selves. are furnished by the great pack
ing companies and it is said that they
have agreed with the butchers 70 stand
behind them and test the constitutional.
lty of the law.
We certainly hope that the legal an-'
thorities Of the state will stand behind
Prof. Ladd and back him up inhis exer-
ions iOfpufe food in this state. It is
very possible that the meat trust people
may " sble to find some weak spots in
the pure food law, but let them do it, and
then the next legislature will know just
what to do and fix them up properly.
The sentiment Of the people Of this state
and we are glad to say in most cases the
retail dealers. is in favor of the pure food
law.
Adulterations are Of two sorts; some
are of a poisonous character and some
are Of harmless character. OF the first
we want none; Of the second we want
them, if we want them at all, in their true
character. We don't want things label
led as pure" unless they are pure. We
object both for our stomach's and our
pockets sake.
