As the Torpedo Boat Destroyer
Went by Paducah Today.
Left Cairo at Daylight and Passed
Here Within Three
Hours.
STOPS ON HER WAY DOWN

The torpedo boat destroyer Law
renee, which was authorized to
make trip mp che Ohio River, the
Nashville being unable to come this
far, passed Psducah this morning at
7:43 O'Clock, but only few saw her.
The little wonder left Cairo at 8 o.
m, and passed Metropolis st 1880.
A few who received telephone mes
sages from Metropolis rushed down to
the river front, and almost before they
get there the vessel came flying by.
She is painted a dark grey or yell
low, and has four smoke stacks, but
smoke was coming from only two OF
them. She appeared to be going at
the rate of freight train, but was
probably making about 20 miles an
hour. Her speed is 32 miles an hour,
but this 10 ON the sea, where there Is
no current such Is is found in river
like the Ohio.
The destroyer was soon out Of sight
up the river, having entirely vanished
within ten minutes after she appear
ed. She did not intend to stop here
consequently no information was sent
in advance of her passing.
A telephone message received from
Smithland at s:l5 stated that the ves-
sci had just passed there, showing
that it was still making railroad time.
Il is likely it will reach Evansville in
time for supper. if not dinner.

Many Dog Owners Send Pets to

They Do Not Desire To Pay the
Heavy Dog Tax-Farmers Get.
ing Rich.
NEWS NEW WAY TO BEAT CITY o

Since the city began its crusade
against dogs new business has start
ed mp in the county, and several
farmers are making quite . neat sum
of money as a result.
There are hotels for all classes Of
people and even hotels for horses and
csttle-livery stables, but never be-
fore has . hotel for dogs been heard OF
in McCracken county. Yet there are
several just few miles outside the cor.
porate limits of the city, this fact be-
ing vouched for by the best and most
reliable farmers.
There are many residents who have
dogs and do not want to pay the exor.
,bitant license on them. They take
them to friends in the country to keep
for several months-until the city au-
thorities ease off in their search of I'M
licensed dogs. Where the farmers do
not want to keep the dogs of friends
gratis, a small fee of so cents or a
dollar il paid. and some farmers are
keeping several dogs. One now has
as many as eight. The Mayfield road
FARMERS have been approa ched by dog
owners desiring to avoid paying the
dog license more frequently than any
others, but there are cases heard Of
daily from other parts of the county.
Chief Collins has been aware of this
kind of business, he stated, and will
be just as yigilant with his prosceu-
ton six months from now, as he is ct
the present time. Those who send
their dogs out of town are principally
the owners of fine hunting dogs, WIN
have use for them only one month in
each year.
The farmers claim that they are get.
ting good price for looking after
town dogs, and are perfectly willing
to take care Of them until the people
in the city get ready to come after
them. This is the latest way TO beat
the dog tax, and appears to be the
only safe way.

TOBACCO
LOCAL

The Western Tobacco Journal gives
the tobacco situation as follows:
Cold weather during the past week
in the western portion OF Kentucky
has hindered the movement of to-
bacco, and as consequence little
has been offered. Farmers also are
now very actively engaged in other
farm work, in blowing for crops,
etc. and cannot pay much attention to
the moviug-of tobacco.
At Greensboro prices for medium
and good tobaccos have advanced one
cent per pound, with not much offered
at auction. Sales in the country to
the American and Continental Tobacco
companies, as we'll as the Imperial
Tobacco company, are very numerous,
and prices have ruled considerably
higher than heretofore. This fact
may induce the farmer TO put in q
larger crop than was expected rome
time ago.
Conditions at Henderson are ana
Joyous to those at Greensboro, al
though there seems to have besn ne
rise in prices on that market. a

GREENSBORO LETTER.

Greensboro, KY, April 2l-The to-
bacco crop of 1908 has proved to be
disappointing as the outlook while it
was in the field indicated that it would
be of the finest quality harvested in
many years. But when fully cured,
those who inspected the barns realized
that the bulk was no more than nom
descript, deficient in size, lacking in
substance and inferior in quality,
especially for home manufacturing.
However IL has some superiority to
the crop of 1902. being clean and
generally Of fair color. Indeed there IL
part Of this crop as high in color rs ID
ever seen here, so that stemmers have
put mp purchases for England emf
neptly suited for that msrket. The
independent stemmers have bought q
diversified quality. so that their stock
will meet the requirements of their
patrons, who will find a variety in
the offerings suitable for all their
needs.
The cause of the crop not coming
up to the expectation in quality is
supposed to be the result Of too
little rain while the plant was max
ing. Many crops show dry weather
appearance aud are bitter to chew,
and therefore usually avoided Thy
home dealers. This year, however,
the largest Of them have bought
heavily of all grades, and are re-
sponsible for sustaining prices, be.
coming more eager for supplies as the
season advanced, until the present
week, when every man they could
summon was in the country buying
freely at advanced prices.
W. A. Barton g. Co., tobacco deal
ers, have received a cablegram from
Liverpool that an alteration has been
made in the duty ,on leaf tobacco,
the duty being reduced 3 pence.
/: There is no news in local tobacco
circles, as the sales have not begun,
and the private sales are small. To-
baoco men expect revival in sho TT
time, however.

DIGGER SANK
After Many Days Hard Work 1t
Went Into River.
And Then Took Dive to the Bottom
- In Ten Feet Of Water.

AS predicted by several river men,
after the owners of the sand digger
succeeded in getting her into the river
last evening, she sank. The digger
had been aground on the Illinois shore
for over two weeks, and had been
pulled and hauled at by various boats,
and finally placed on skids and launch.
ed into the river after numerous I'M
successful efforts to pull her of the
bank.
The weight of her machinery and
the condition in which the digger
was left by pulling at her, caused it t o
quickly 20 to the bottom in ten feet
Of water, and il is not known when
she will be raised. II Is estimated
that the damage to and cost Of work
ing on. the digger will amount TO
81, 900. and while possibly the boat
will be raised in few days, it is not
generally believed possible, and even
if it should be, it would still be some
time before it could be gotten in con-
dition to pump sand.
A number of people claim it is too
small to furnish Paducah's sand sup
ply, anyhow. 1t is probable that
a supply of sand will have to be Sc
cured elsewhere, IL any work is to be
done soon in Paducah.

Fashion Hints.

Dresses with waists to match are
to be Worn more this summer than for
years past. The only separate waists
that will retain marked popularity
are shirtwaists.
Indications point to a preference for
white. Snow white, cream white and
oyster shell white. Second in import
ance come the palest tints - cham
payne, maize, shadow gray, silver blue,
Fart nouveau violet and April green.
The spring and summer cottons show
all these beautiful new tints, and at.
tached to each is the heartbreaking
legend that "they will not fade" But
they will, unless great care is used
in washing them.
In all these fabrics the coarse
threads carry the day. There are cot
ton cheviot, canvas, vesting, "cross-
STITCH" voile, homespun and the new
''rope weave"
The cotton shirtwaist dresses have
collar, cuffs and belt in cross-stitch
embroidery, and frequently wide

Mistakes of Women.

One of the mistakes of women is
not knowing how to eat. If man is
not to be fed when she is, she thinks
a cup of tea or anything handy is
good enough. If she needs to save
money she does it at the butchers
cost If she is busy she will not waste
time in eating. If she is unhappy she
goes without food. A man eats if the
sheriff is at the door. if his work
drives, if the undertaken interrupts;
and he is right. a woman will choose
ice cream instead of beefsteak, and a
man will not.
Another of her mistakes is in not
knowing when to rest. If she is tired
she may sit down, but she will darn
stockings, crochet shawls, embroider
doilies. Doesn't she know that hard
work tires? If she is exhausted she
will write letters or figure her ac-
counts. She would laugh at you If
