Some years ago while at work, I fell
over a truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me I
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result,
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report l left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. It's effects
were prompt and gratifying. 1t took

An Overflow Causes Consider
able Excitement on 9th st.
Mayor Yeiser Says Nothing Should BE
Drained Into Pipes But What
Was Intended.
Is SYSTEM IN BAD SHAPE

Mayor d. A. Yeiser says that some
thing should be done to prevent people
from draining anything into the sani-
tary sewerage not intended to be
drained into It, Yesterday there was
considerable excitement near Eighth
end Harrison streets over an overflow
of the sanitary sewerage through the
manholes. Mayor Yeiser stated that
so far as he could learn, some one is
believed 20 have been running rain
water from houses into the sewerage,
which is contrary to law.
Others, however, say that no care
is being taken of the sewerage system,
and that the pipes are likely TO be.
come stopped mp any time in most any
place in the district.
Mayer Yeiser says that the sewer
age was never intended for anything
but sanitation That no permission
10 drain water from the steam heating
plant OF anything else should have
ever been given, although in several
instances it has been.
Others do not think the mayor Is
right. One said today: THE fact
Is, the report on the sewerage syste m
made recently by committee was
simply n whitewash. The present
condition Of the sewerage may result
any day in an overflow, and know
what I'm talking about SO far as the
drainage Of the other things besides
sewage into the mains is concerned,
only about one-fourth OF the people Of
the district are connected with the
sewerage which taxes ifs capacity
only one-iourth. The few things
drained int IL beside -cwAge can
hardly be felt Certainly they dc not
amount TO three-fourths of the capaci-
~ of the sewerage
The mayor said today that Mr.. Ell
lott, OF Memphis, who designed the
sewerage system here, stated that it
WAS sanitary sewerage" and that 1t
should be used for no other purpose.
And he also said that he thought some
action would be taken TO prevent per
sons using It for anything else in the
future.

River Men Expect About Tween
ty Feet of Water.
Everything Getting Ready to Get Out
With the Rise.

There is still uncertainty among
river men over what to expect Some
predict a good stage Of water, possibly
twenty or twenty five feet, while
others do not expect so much.
What Is causing the most anxiety
now, however. is the ice. None of il
has reached Paducah yet, and whether
it will come this far down remains to
be seen. and is something that many
river men would like to know.
Some think that if the present tenn
perature keeps up the ice will get this
far, while. Others expect it to rot and
sink before it comes as far rs Paducah.
There is great activity down about
the wharf, however, and everything
is Getting ready to leave. 1t is expect.
ed the big Sprague and other tow
boats will leave Monday unless it de-
velops that there is danger from ice.
The river is rising rapidly, and there
viii be plent, of water, if not as much
as some of the more optimistic of river
men expect.

SHOT
THE GIRL
Sallie Holmes Tells the POLES
She Did it Accidentally.
Was Afraid to Tell the Truth, She Do
clares-Warrant Issued
Against Her.
MOTHER IS STILL HELD

Sallie Holmes, one of the colorcG
women arrested yesterday on suspicion
Of having fred the shot that Killed
Mary Duke johnson, the nine yeSc
old South Eighth street, today coz
fessed to Chief OF Police James COL
Inns that she shot the girl. but claims
that she did it accidentally.
According to her story she was max
ing up the bed in the room while thu
girl stood in the door eating from .
bowl. There was pistol under one
of the pillows, and in handling il, it
was accidentally discharged and tho
bullet struck tho child.
She was so frightened that she was
afraid to acknowledge the truth, and
denied it until she realized that the
best thing to do was to confess.
A warrant was issued against hcr
for murder and the mother of the
child, Rachel Johnson, is also being
held. Chief Collins is not yet pro
pared to say how much stock he takes
in the woman's story.
Insurance men say that one Of the
best points in favor Of the mother in
the fact that she sent to pay the insur-
ance on the child after the shooting
II she had any intention of commit
ting such q crime for the insurance,
they claim, she would have had the
insurance paid up, and not sent to pay
it after the shooting. These insur-
ance men claim that nearly every day
colored people rush in to pay insor-
ance on some one who has been hurt
or suddenly taken i'll, showing that
the insurance is one of the first thiRgr
they think of in case of sickness or
accident.
The evidence before the coronsr's
jury that inquired into the death Of
Mary Duke johnson, the 9 year old
girl who was shot and killed on South
Eighth street, was not conclusive
enough to warrant any specific ACCUSE
tions, but the jury was convinced that
the child was killed by some one and
did not shoot herself accidentally, and
returned the following verdict:
1--WE, the jury, being duly swsrx.
find the body now lying before N IN
that of Mary Duke, oolored, 8 yasrs
old, came to her death by q RunsAot

During the inquest the jury wsss

when the report Of a pistol rang COT
and she toppled out the door. IL is
