Nuch Damage is Being Done in
Various Parts of the City.
Some OF the Methods Adopted by Citi-
Gems to Keep Them Ava,
From Yards.
IMPRISONMENT is TRIEl

The arrival Of spring has started
another crusade against. the town COW.
AS usual. however, it is limited large
ly to talk. As the yards begin to as
sumo shade of green and the flowers
and grass and shrubbery begin to
sprout, the patient bovine lightly
trips down the street. looking first to
the right. then to the left, and when
she sees what she wants she usually
finds way to get it.
These ruthless destroyers of horti-
cultural specimens have various ways
of reaching their goal Some Of them
jump the fence, others open the gate,
while still others are shrewd enough
to go around to the back fence and
slip in when the woodman leaves the
gate open.
As the city will do nothing, howev-
er, towards keeping the animals mp,
citizens have been left to their own
resources. Some Of them use scalding
water. others use sticks and stones,
others pen up the animals and milk
them several days, thus getting some
benefit from the damage done to their
lawns, while one woman . few days
ago kept two COWS shut up In the sta
BILE two days and nights without food
and water. Another took all the hide
of an animals back with boiling wa
ter, and occasionally q COW is found
with mutilated remnants of tin can
on her candle appendage.
Most people. however, do not blame
the COWS, a. when they are turned
loose they look to instinct. and doubt
less think they are privileged to 60
whittier they will. 1t is the person
who turns them loose to prey on his
neighbor who is really TO blame. and
who would probably not always get
on 90 lightly Is the COW does IL some
-6fthe irate citizens who 60 ont in the
yard early in the morning &c find
their choicest flowers eaten, their vines
tramped down and the grass gone,
could find him instead of the COW.
The promised relief of the board OF
public works, however, has proven
cheering to the public, and 1t is hop
cd the request to be made Of the legis.
lative boards to pass . gener al stock
law will not be delayed.

Street WOrkmen all Pulled off

The Board of Public Works Has Been
Investigating and Will Make
Report.
SURFACE SEWERAGE DELYAED

The Board of Public Works last
evening ordered all the men employed
on the street by the city, laid of tenn.
porarily. 1t was stated by one mem
Der that the order would probably be
effective only about one week. There
are today only two men at work on
the streets, and yesterday there were
fifteen or twenty.
II is likely that the Board Of Public
Works will make some important
changes. 1t is claimed that very
little system has been used in doing
city work, and that 1t would be as
tonishing to know how the drivers Of
teams have been allowed to 90 what
they pleased and go where they
pleased, although being paid by the
city. IL is said that members Of the
board made Q tour of the city last
week, spending nearly a whole day
inspecting the methods employed in
the street department.
1t is understood the board intends
to shortly present. a report detailing
the amount of money spent on the
streets and where il went, who has
been selling gravel to the city and
who has been hauling 1t.

The Illinois Central Announces

A matter which has been under

of the Louisville division Of the !. O.,
who has stated in Louisville that

The announcement of this great
Improvement will come as pleasure
to local railroad men as we'll as rail
road men employed on the entire
Louisville division. The costs of the
improvements will amount to over
$50, 900 and work will begin at once.
Block signals are used on all the big

ed absolutely necessary for the preser-
walton of life and property. The ac-
tion of the Illinois Central in placing
block signals on this division is the
result of the several inspections made
bv the many different officials during
the past two months The business
on this district has become so great
of late that a chief dispatcher had to
be placed in authority at this end, ad-
ditional dispatchers employed and
every possible facility to improve and
increase WAS infinitely considered in
order to improve the service.
Local officials stated this morning
that they were aware the road had

One Thrown From His Cab and
Almost Crushed.
Another Saw Headlight and Think
ing Collision Imminent,
Jumped.
PAINFULLY
plBoTH

Fireman Ed. L. Jones, employed
on the Paducah district of the l. c.,
is laid up in the local railroad hos
pital with a badly sprained right
ankle, q badly sprsined right knee and
is in addition painfully bruised about
the body, all the result of q wild jump
from his engine last night at Calvert
City, about O'Clock, when Jones
thought he saw q train standing on
the main line.
Jones jumped into cattle gate
which accounts for the extent of his
injuries.
When rounding the Calvert curve
Jones was looking back at his train,
and when he glanced ahead again saw
head light right in front. appearing
to be that of another train standing
on the main line. The fireman giving
the matter no second thought, hastily
gained the side OF the cab and
jumped.
He aligbted on ell fours on the
cattle gate and when picked up by
trainmen was unable to walk. An
other fireman was secured to act in
his place, and Jones returned to Pa
ducsh to receive treatment. The
train which Jones supposed to be
standing on the main line, was in
reality on siding and waiting for
the other freight to pass. The pecu-
lisr position taken by the dead"
train as Jones engine dashed around
the curve, made it appear to be stand
ing on the main line.

contracting to take them ut almost
any price.
IL is estimated the company has
bought up between 5000, 600 and TO-
900, 900 pounds within . few weeks
and had it known sooner of the short
age in the crop. would have bought
more. and could have done IL in n
more leisurely manner, and at lower
price. When the discovery came il
was so late that they had to begin
buying quickly. and they did so.
Prices have advanced from SO to IS .
hundred, and some of the tobacco that
could not be sold at $3.50 II few
months ago has recently been closed
out at sl0 and ell.
Tobacco men predict that this cor
ner will force the independent manu-
faoturers to either 20 out of business
for awhile, or adopt some substitute
for Burnley, as there will not be enough
of the latter to go around.
Il is said pany OF the independent
manufacturers have a very light stock,
and have been caught mapping.
This so called corner does not affect
the local market, according to tobacco
men. No hurley, practically, is sold
in his territory, most of 1t being sold
In Louisville.

Important knowledge about cer:ain
trusts and corporations, has solicited,
and is still soliciting, contributions to
the fund from organizations, the secret
ofwhose business had been revealed to

you is not now the chief of the De-
plrtment of Commerce, and is not vet
postmaster general, but so far as his
opportunities go to WELD ''the big
stick" over the trusts and corpora
lions he IS still virtually a part of the
Administration. He has not finally
served his relations with it, but as
1 1t fryer has merely suspended them
temporarily and will resume them az
soon as he has completed the job cf
collecting the campaign fat. In view
OF the fact that these trusts having
contributed literally in response to
the solicitations of Mr.. CorteIyou, the
Administration In whose behalf he has
asked and received the money will
not be IN position to bring them
before the bar of just:cs to answer for

Remedy For Burns,

For dry burn, carron OIL Shake the
bottle, saturate a soft cloth with the
mixture and lay over the burn. Then
cover closely with cotton batting or
flannel to keep out every bit of air and
secure the whole with a light bandage.
Burns may also be treated by a thick
application of any bland oil, vaseline,
sweet oil, castor OIL butter, cold cream
or any fat not rancid, excepting glyc
erin, which is too irritating. Soft pow
ders may also be busted on-four, laun-
