Better Than Gold.

Il was troubled for several years
with chronic indigestion and nervous
debility" writes +. j. Green. of Lam
caster. Y. II. No remedy helped me
until l began using Electric Bitters.
which did me more good than all the
medicines ever used. They have
also kept my wife in excellent health
for years. She says Electric Bitters
are just splendid for female troubles:
that they are grand tonic and invig-
orator for weak. rundown women.
No other medicine can take its place
in our family Try it. Only 80
cents. Satisfaction guaranteed by

NOTHING KNOWN
HERE BY THE STAIRS ABOUT
THAT IMMENSE FORTUNE.

The report that the STAIRS here were
interested in a $50. 900. 900 fortune
supposed to belong to the Starr family
from valuable property leased over 100
years ago to people in Baltimore. is
not borne out by facts. Some time
ago Mr.. Joe Starr, of the county. who
comes to market every day, was shown
clipping in regard to a concerted
effort being made by the STAIRS of H..
linois to reclaim property leased for
30 years, about 1898 in Baltimore,
and which should now revert to them.
Mr.. Starr said IL his family were in.
terested In it he did not know it. and
that he had no relatives in Illinois,
so far as he knew.
Mr., Starr will investigate the case,
however. His ancestors came from
the east about century ago, and he
may prove to DO q direct descendant
Of those who owned the property.

CATION Of the murder of Miss Schaefer
are paying particular attention TO the
theory that tho murderer was we'll ao-
quainted with Miss schaefer. They
believe he was familiar with the time
she usually left her boarding house
and the route traversed on her way to
her room. The man most directly
connected with this theory 10 promi-
pent here, and it is alleged he had
often held conversations with Miss
schaefer. He wears u long overcoat
and answers TO the description of the
man seen by Albert Deitch at NJ and
Fourteenth streets and by Walter
owen at l. and Fourteenth streets, aud
by Mr.. Mills orouching behind tree
across the street from the johnson
home. He left Bedford on the morn.
ing after the murder and remained
away for several days. So far the de-
tectives have failed to establish q
motive for the crime.

The Cumberland Buys a Fran
chise at Smithland, Ky.
Will Begin Work on the New Line
Early In the Spring and
Rush to Finish.
GIVES A COMPLETE SERVICE

The Cumberland Telephone oompa-
ny has succeeded in getting into
Smithland, Livingston county, and
last night franchise was granted by
the town board and approved.
Mr.. Charles Ritter, of Smithlsnd,
acted as agent for the Cumberland and
Manager Joynes today received the
news Of his company's success. The
franchise WAS bought for a very small
amount and the people of Smithland
seemed pleased to have the new com
pany enter their town and bring COM
petition in the long distance rates.
The Independent company, Of Pa
ducah, has been operating . line to
Smithland for some months.
Manager A. l.. Joynes will begin
building the new line which will be
about twelve miles long, early in the
spring. and it is expected to complete
it in few weeks.
When this line lie complete il will
give the Cumberland communication
with practically every town and city
in this section, IN addition to all the
large cities. As the company employs
q large force Of men and has an abun-
dance of material, it is not believed
that the construction of the new line
will require long.

BOAT HOUSE LOST.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 2--It is
thought the towboat Bellevue, which
was sunk by tho ice, will be total
loss. The swift curren. and cakes Of
Ice made it impossible toget men to
work in an effort to raise her. The
houseboa Of the Pastime Boat club
was dislodged from her moorings and
now lies bottom side mp opposite Tow
head island. The members Of the Lou
isville Boat club are endeavoring to
save their splendid home from wreck
ing. The weather has turned much
colder and this will increase the flow
of ice.

Taken Towards Getting Ready
for Spring Carnival.
A Merchants Exhibit Will be . Fea.
ture, with No Charge to
Merchants.
ANOTHER MEETING FRIDAY

Four of the directors of the Pa
ducah Carnival Association held o
meeting last night at Hotter Lago-
marsino, Messrs. Lagomareino, A. W.
Grief and @. r. and r. o. Davis,
but did nothing except discuss this
years carnival.
They will have an enclosed carni-
val, but will ask the merchants for
nothing. They feel that the merch-
ants have done enough in past years.
They have now under advisement the
matter of having this year another
merchants exhibit, but If they do it
will be conducted along different
lines from those heretofore q feature
Of carnivals. They will do this
only for those enterprising merch-
ants who desire to have exhibits,
and every merchant who desires will
be allowed to have booth inside the
grounds free Of charge.
He may either build his own booth,
or the carnival company will build
1t and require him to pay only what it
costs, the exact figures to be given
every merch ant to show that he has
paid only the actual cost of building
the booth.
The attractions will come in for the
usual amount of discussion later.
Every year there are more and better
carnival companies, and this year
there are more than usual 1t is ex-
peoted that something new will be
offered by the carnival company this
year, and only a company able to give
something new will stand any chance
of getting the contract.
Nothing definite was done by the
directors present last night, and they
adjourned over until Friday in order
that q larger attendance may be on
hard. It is probable that on that
evening officers will be elected and .
secretary chosen. Last year Mr.. H.
O. Bronough was secretary.
The association is very enthusiastic
over the outlook, and believes that
the people will be ready for another
week Of fun about May, when they
will feel like getting out and enjoying
themselves after On "old time win
