No Passes For Fair.

The st. Louis lines have entered
into an agreement to issue no passes
on traffic consideration between
Louisville and st. Louis during the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The
agreement was reached Thursday
by the Louisville, Henderson and
st. Louis, the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern and the Southern
Railway, which comprise the three
rival lines out of Louisville travel.
Annual passes will be respected on
the exposition trains, but the trip
passes will be cut to the quick, as
the roads all expect more pay travel
than their trains can attend to in
the near future, and they have adop-
ted "the screw" method ON trip
passes for their own protection. The
trains are not running as heavily
now as it had been expected, but in
the course of the next thirty days
the roads believe that every piece
of equipment will be required to
take the crowds to st. Louis.

Good advice is contained in the
admonition, "Cut down the weeds"
1.-The annual nuisance of weeds,
too many weeds, and weeds Of dan
gerous qualities has come, and any
warning at this season cannot be
out of place." declared prominent
doctor.
II think that the evil Of allowing
weeds to grow without meiestation
is one Of the great wrongs commit
ted against the people. Weeds grow
ing on vacant lots and In back yards
and alleys are menace to the
health of the community. They
frequently emit germs, which can
not be Of much value to the city's
health. Besides. the weeds are un-
slightly.
Another hot weather danger is
the unclean condition of the alleys
in the city, They often contain &C
cumulations of filth and decomposed
garbage and other kinds of disease
breeding material.
1.-THE sanitary officers are now
abroad in the land and should pay
particular attention to the weeds"

Don't Forget The Home Paper.

Speaking of what a newspaper
does for community, United States
Senator David Davis, of Illinois,
made an address that remains ever
green in the memories of newspaper
men. He said: No other agency
can or will do this. The editor in
proportion to his means does more
for his town than any other man,
and, in all fairness, man with man
he ought to be supported-not be-
cause you happen to like him or ad-
mire his writing, but because local
paper is the best investment COM
munitv can make. It may not be
crowded with great thought, but
financially it is of more benefit than
both preacher and teacher. Today
editors do more for less pay than
any men on earth. Patronize your
home paper, not as a charity, but as
an investment"

In Memory

OF Mr.. James l.. Oldham, who
passed from his earthly home on
May 20, 1904, aged ~ years. He
He leaves wife, two daughters and
one son to mourn his departure.
There was not a better man in this
part of the country nor was anyone
more generally liked, so the COM
munity unites with the family in re-
greet at his death. From his boy
hood he had been one of our noblest
and best, foremost in everything
promoting the good and welfare of
our community. He had been a
member of the Christian church for
many years. The two traits that
were most prominent in his charac-
ter were loyalty to his friends and
unbending honesty But, alas too
soon this gentle life was ended. We
will meet him on this earth no more,
but in the beautiful city just over
the river there. We shall meet again.
Our loss will be his gain, for we
know he has gone to that beautiful
home on high. He is now free from
all life's trials and temptations, free
from pain and troubles. All that Is
mortal Of him rests In beautiful
casket in the Odd Fellows cemetery
at Madisonville, while the dear spir-
1t has returned to Him who gave It..
He sleeps that long last sleep
From which none ever wake to weep.
Often we will visit the quiet spot
and many will be the tears that are
shed, because he has gone from our
circle, because we see him no more.
With bowed heads and sad hearts
we say, "God gives us life, he takes
away, He doeth all things we'll. "
The broken hearted family have our
deepest sympathy in these, their sad
hours. One whe loved him, a niece,

The time-worn injunction, Never
put off til tomorrow what you can
do to-day!" That is the terse adj
vice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold
with which you have been strug-
Cling for several days, perhaps
weeks. Take some reliable remedy
for it To-DAY-and let that remedy
be DIR. Boschee's German Syrup,
which has been In use for over thirty
five years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough or
cold, and its continued use for few
days will cure you completely, No
matter how deep seated your cough,
even if dread consumption has at
tackled your lungs, German Syrup
will surely effect a cure-as it has
done before in thousands of appar-
emily hopeless cases of lung troublee.

The Editors Difficult Office.

One of the disagreeable duties of
the editor is deciding on the admis-
sion of disagreeable news. There
are frequent appeals to keep out of
the paper this or that piece of news
of criminal or scandalous nature.
Sometimes the appeal is in behalf
of the sinner himself; more often in
behalf of his family. The only an
swer to such appeals is that no pro-
misses can be made in advance to
keep out news, that the editor must
decide when he has all the facts be-
fore him what ought to be told and
what ought not to be told.
1t is easy to urge upon the editor
that he can do just as he pleases.
But it isn't true. The editor has his
duty to the public, as truly as the
cashier to his bank, or the clerk to
the merchant who employs him.
For the editor to use his power to
please friend or hurt an enemy
would be gross abuse, and would
compromise the standing of his
paper in proportion as it became
known.
Do his best, hold himself as COM
pletely as a judge to cool judicial
spirit, cases will arise the decision
of which is as unsatisfactory as
five to-four decision of the Supreme
Confederation, (Me.,) Sun.

Put Her Hat on the Coffin.

A story is told by the Chicago In
ter Ocean of woman in that town,
the wife of young minister, who
has always had a liking for hats of
the flower bed variety, although she
condemned others for wasting
money that should go to the heather.
At present she owns 'dream" of
"sky piece" that is covered with
vIolets. The young wife wore this
hat to a funeral recently at which
her husband officiated. Going into
the room which contained the coffin
she removed the hat and placed it
on stand.
The sad faced, sleek haired under
taker came in few minutes later to
arrange the floral tokens" on the
coffin. After putting the bouquets,
wreaths, pillows, broken wheels,
anchors and the usual run of flowers
in place, he picked up the violet
covered hat and tenderly placed it
on top of all the rest.
Several of the "mourners" giggled,
and the minister's wife wanted to
grab her hat and run. She had to
let it alone, however, until the
close of the ceremony.
When she marched past the bier
she lunged for the hat and success
fully made her escape.

A Strong Heart
