TROOPS ARE HOME

The infantry troops reached home
at Fort Assinniboine Monday from
their trip to Great Falls and Helena,
and the cavalry returned Tuesday.
They won a state wide reputation
while away for the splendid exhibit
tions they gave in the way of drills,
rough Kidding, etc, at both the coun-
ty and state fairs. The troops were
also complimented as whole on their
gentlemanly conduct throughout their
entire vacation. Hayre people are
proud Of its neighboring soldier boys

COUNCIL AND COMMISSIONERS.

The county commissioners, together
with Mayor Hopkin and Councilmen
| Bogee and Marsh, of Chinook, and DIR.
Roney Of Harlem, met with the city
council Of Havre, Monday afternoon
to discuss the matter of empting
Havre sewerage into Milk river, as a
matter of precaution against causing
disease among people east of Havre
on the river The protest was made
through the state board of health and
given to the county commissioners
| for settlement. NE
Mayor Newman called the council
together to listen to the protest.
During the discussion the Havre
city council demonstrated the fact
that in 80 out Of 100 cities and towns
sewers empty into creeks and rivers,
and that in the city of Great Falls
the sewerage was emptied in the
Missouri and that thousand feet
below the drainage point the water
was used by the B. & NJ shelters and
people living in that section Of the
city. While in this case the distance
from Havre to Chinook by river was
at least 60 miles and to Harlem over
Loo miles. There is absolutely no
doubt, as it has been demonstrated
on the best Of authorities that water
will purify itself within distance of
three miles,
Mayor Newman in addressing the
meeting stated, ''that while with all
due respect to the board he did not
think them competent to Judge as to
whether the water in the river would
be contaminated to such an extent as
to jeopardize the health of the people
in Chinook and Harlem; that while it
was not the intention of the city of
Hayre to work an injury on the
people east of Havre, and that if it
was proven to the city of Hayre that
it would be injurious to the people
below to use the water, the city
would not empty sewerage in the
river, but the question must be
decided to the satisfaction of Hayre-
ties by the most competent and i'm
partial authority obtainable.''
The City Council met again Tues
day evening and decided to wait until
restraining order was issued before
taking action, in view of the fact
that the Waterworks would not be
completed within six months.

ELKS APPOINT A
COMMITTEE OF TWO
To Confer With the Commercial
Club of Paducah at Once.
Will Ask Assistance in Floating Sec
ond Mortgage Bonds for
Building.
WILL ASK A CONFERENCE

A committee of two, consisting OF
Messrs. Ben Weille and Ed Ashbrook,
was appointed last night by Paducah
lodge of Elks to confer with the Com.
mercisl club of Paducah in regard to
the latter's assistance in floating Sec
ond mortgage bonds for the Elks hand
some new building.
Ii was first intended to erect on the
Elks lot ON North Fifth, adjoining the
government building q store building,
but Paducah is growing so rapidly
and there is such an increasing de-
mand for hotel accommodations, that
it has been decided by the Elks to ii
possible erect a modern hotel build
ing. This will cost great deal more
than the original estimate of $50, 900,
and while the Elks would probably
have no trouble getting the money
they need, in order to facilitate mat
ters and place themselves in better
position to demand attention in their
project, they decided to enlist the as
sistance of the Commercial club, il
possible, in floating the second mort
gage bonds.
1--WE think" said Chairman Weille
today, that securing a good hotel for
Paducah in addition to those we al
ready have, will be just as much for
the city's interest, and in the line of
the Commercial clubs work. as as
sisting in locating factory or some
thing else We should like to float as
many second mortgage bonds as posi-
BILE. The more the better for us. We
can find good, experienced and re-
sponsible men to lease at a good price
the building, if we can find the means
of putting up the kind of building
they want, and the kind that ought
to go up"
A conference will be held with
President Stanley Dubois, of the Com
mercisl club, today, and he will be
asked to call meeting early next
week for the purpose of hearing the
Elks committee.

MAN SUICIDED
Look Laudanum at Princeton,
KY, Yesterday and Died.
Said His Name Was Brewer and He
Lived Near Paducah.

Chief of Police James Collins this
morning received q letter from Mar
shall Charles Wilson, of Princeton,
asking for information about q man
named Brewer who committed suicide
there yesterday.
The letter stated that Brewer had
taken lsudanum and little could be
gotten ont of him except that his name
was Brewer and no lived on farm
near Paducsh. He was about 40 years
old, weighed about 1875 pounds and
wore dark pants with light checked
coat and vest, white shirt, red socks
and SLOUGH hat. He appeared to be
partially paralyzed.
Chief Collins does not know of any
family named Brewers living near
here, but is investigating the case and
hopes to be able to learn something
definite before night.
\ A special telegram to The Sun from
Princeton this afternoon gives addi-
tional information atoutE Frank
Brewer, known also as Brewer. who
suicided at Princeton yesterday, IS
follows:
Brewer came to Princeton about one
month ago from Hot Springs, Ark. 1t
seems he claimed Paducah as his
home, but nothing could be learned OF
relatives here. He was found under
an old tobacco shed in dying condi-
tion and was taken to the city hall,
where medical aid was summoned but
he never recovered. Three empty
laudanum bottles by his side told the
tale Of his suicide. He had nothing
valuable on his person and every indi-
cation points to suicide. He was last
seen yesterday inquiring for drug
store and it is supposed was looking
for some deadly drug then.

Mr.. Hearst ever had any thought of
purchasing newspaper in this state,
l am not aware of it"
Congressman Shober did not bring
that barrel we read about with
him. The Hearst men, according to
somes of the papers, all carry
sround with them a caslS of "dorena"
which they scatter with a lavish
hand. They open champagne, give
away 25 cent cigars, and do'other
things that only the rich can afford.
But if they do anything like that in
other places the delegation came to
Paducah running light, as the rail
road men would say. Congressman
Shober is such a good talker that he
can probably get away with the goods
without the use of any inducements.
