Isolate Cattle.
The Padncah Sun saws:

Inc FHuuCdn sun says.
DR.. Richardson of New Orleans,
sent here by the government to in
vestigate the condition relative to
"ticky" cattle shipped into Paducan,
has left and gone to Louisville. He
stated before he left that he lad no
desire TO quarantine McCracken
county. and would give the authori-
ties two or three weeks in which to
take steps to have the cattle shipped
here from the south isolated, in order
10 prevent Texas fever in other cat
tie. The county does not require this
done now, and so far as known, has
as yet taken no steps TO have II done.
Dr. Warner. the local meat and
milk inspector. stated that the county
would simply have TO require the law
complied with or stand a quarantine.
The federal officer spent several days
in Paducah and seemed to be very
fair and lenient, assuring the county
authorities that nothing would be
done If the county would require the
cattle kept separate.

He spoke to him but received no re-,

no response and he noticed that the
limbs Of his brother felt cold and
were stiff. Realizing that something
was wrong he called his parents and

Drs. Bondurant and Walsh were sum-

probably been dead for some time.
The news of the young mans de-

Of sorrow and sympathy were heard
throughout the entire city yesterday.
Death was evidently peaceful and
without suffering Of any kind, the
boyish face bearing the trace of
smile as he lay in deaths embrace.
His body was lying as if in repose,
the face being slightly turned on the
pillow and his hands being open and
in a perfectly natural position. The

there is little doubt that death came
quickly and peacefully.

was closed he went TO his home, adj

which he went to his room about III
o'clock. His bed was near window
and the theory was advanced that the
cool night air passing over his body
caused congestive chill, but the doc.

The most plausible explanation of his
sudden death is heart failure and this
is generally believed to have been
the cause. No post-mortem examln'

cause.
The deceased was one Of the most
favorably known young men in Cairo.
He was 10 years old the Sth day OF

The service for 400 miles was at

such boom of prosperity that her
bounty is talked about to this day, says
a writer in the St. Louis Post-Dspatch.
TIE Detroit Free Press says Miss
Gould believes in charity. She does not
care whether it is organized or not. Nor
does she care whether the recipients are
old enough to advertise her good deeds
or not.
Near her lovely home on the Hudson
she has built home for little crippled
boys. She calls it Woody Crest. She
built the house, filled it with little Grip
pies, hired the best teachers for them
and now supports them in comfort.
These little boys are taught the use
ful crafts, and, when they leave Woody
Crest they are expert wood carvers, ex-

pert leather burners, experts in many
things which crippled boys can do.
Woody Crest is known far and wide
and the neishbors seeing the boys out
for an airing of an afternoon say:
Here come Helens babies" Her lat
est charity is to give 100000 for the
building of another big home for girls
and boys.
Il like Helen Could" said member
of a political club, because she does not
put on airs"
Il like her because she does not
argue said another
Il like her because she Goes not try
to outdress us" said third. And so
each one had word of commentator.
Miss Gould is far from aggressive.
She allows her dear friend, Mrs. Russell

One by one the different members

the bags, one sewing companion, one

When all have finished Mrs. Sage will
say: And Miss Helen Gould commits
sioIs me TO say that she will place a

And, later in the Philippines. each SOL
der of the hundred or more who receive
those bags will be gladdened by purse
and gold piece.

ladies will whisper
Just where Miss Gould's benefactions
have taken her no one knows. She loves
to present large and valuable articles to
the government and, during the Spanish
war she attempted to give warship.
And the government has, in all possible
cases, accepted these gifts, declining
certain ones when it was unconstitu-
tional to accept.
