AN OLD MANS SUICIDE
At the ASs ofSeVenty Joseph A. Jacobs
Thought De Had Lived Long Enough.

An old man by the name of Joseph A.
Jacobs was found dead at three O'Clock
yesterday afternoon in n room in the
Golden Rule lodging house, a victim
of morphine, self-administered with the
intention of ending his life. The body
might not have been discovered at thar
time but for the fact that Jacobs had
told the Iandlady the evening before
that he would not want the room after
that night.
She had no occasion to enter it until
the middle of the afternoon when she
went in to prepare it for another lcdg-
er.

He had not been heard of for a long
time until last December. He was then
in Bisbee, and being in one of the sa-
looms one night he fell against a safe,

to send him to the county hospital at
Tombstone. When he was taken before

A BOIL wEEvIL REMEDY.

T. w. Marston, boil weevil
commissioner for the State of
Louisiana, claims he has a dead
shot for this bug. He has ex-
perimented the past two weeks in
Texas, and says he has had not a
single failure. He says his remedy
will clear any field of the pest
within a few days, and ut a cost
for material of not more than ten
cents an acre. His remedy TO
save the crop is to sprinkle dry
Paris green on the young and vol
cotton. He is highly
elated over his success and urges
the cotton growers to lose no time
in sprinkling the poison on the
cotton while it is young. He says
the weevils are hungry to starry
ing degree and readily eat the
poison.
Mr.. Marston has written to
Governor Lanham and Colonel
Johnson in reference 10
his discovery.

A COMPARISON.

Recognizing the strength of
| William r. Hearst with the peo-
pie, there is no more vicious OPP
ponent to his presidential aspira-
tons than the Springfield Mass. }
Republican, the leading republican
paper in the State of Massachu-
sets: but unlike some democratic
papers the Republican is not in
the pay of the political owners of
Judge Alton Parker, and can
therefore give Hearst credit for
what he has accomplished in his
single-handed war against the
trusts in behalf of the people.
Commenting on Hearst's recent
legal victory over the coal carry
ing railroads, which are the vital
arteries of the coal trust, the Re-
publican says: "These predatory
coal corporations seemingly as
contemptuous of law as of the
rights of the people, created an
opportunity, and the Roosevelt
administration simply declined to
have anything to do with it,
though in duty bound to have a
good deal to do with any case in
velving attractions of the federal
law. 1t then remained for Hearst
to step in and make the most of
the opportunity for his own pur-
poses and much has been made of
it. He is now enabled to stand
out as greater champion of the
people against trust extortion than
the president and his whole adj
ministration; for where one per-
som might have been injured some
what by the continued existence
of the Northern Securities COM
pany, 10000 persons are being in
jured great deal by the anthra-
cite combination. And Hearst
moved on his own initiative, using
bis own means; while President
Roosevelt refused to move, though
holding a commission from the
people to do so and supplied with
public funds for the purpose" In
with the above the |
Journal notes the absence of any
quotations whatever from Judge |
Alton Parker of the Supreme
Court of New York, in which the
court of which he is a member has
construed trust or other character
of legislation of national import
ance. 1t can hardly be possible
that the Supreme Court of great
State like New York is never com
PEELED to give final decision on
laws prohibiting the aggressions of
trusts and monopolies and pro-
tecting the rights of the people.
IF the Judge has no political rec
ord he certainly ought to have
some sort of a Judicial record.

PALESTINE, TEXAS, APRIL 10, 1904
WILL coLoUITT ENTER RACE 2

In the Dallas Times-HeraId th,
following interview with Gan Ole
Politician" appears:
"How about this man Colquitt
Has he made up his mind to make
the race for governor" was the
next interrogatory advanced by
Young Reformer.
"Well, as to that / cannot say,
Colquitt is playing the reticent
act. He should speak out and
announce his intentions. His
friends are in a quandary. One
is certain that he will make the
race. Another says there's moth
ing doing. am positive that the
Kaufman county man will keep
out of it. He is a hard fighter,
but very cautious, is this man
Oscar B., from far-off Georgia.
He has tremendous personal
following throughout Texas and
would make a splendid showing
in the race if he goes against the
present incumbent. A gentleman
very close to Colquitt, a member
of the Democratic machine, tells
me that the commissioner has
made up his mind fully and for
keeps. He will give Lanham a
clear field this year and in 1906 he
will tackle the Hon. Charles X.
Bell. There will be a bunch of
race horses in the field two years
hence. General M. M. Crane
has thousands of loyal friends and,
if he will say the word, they will
back him up for all he is worth.
Hon. Thomas
CAMPBELL Of Palestine, who is
fsnce-building and his friends say
he will not be run out of the field
next time by the congressional
trust. With three North Texas
men in the race Tom Campbell
may make it interesting for all
concerned. Hon. Jeff Nc
Lemore, secretary of the state
committee, in my humble opinion,
will have to hunt elsewhere for
man to run against Governor Lam
ham this year. Crane won't run,
Campbell has declared himself.
Colquitt is getting ready to de-
clare himself, and it is up to Hon. |
James B. Wells now. The sacred
COW, the second term precedent,
terrorizes the Texas Democrat. |
The spirit is willing, but the flesh |
is weak. The average Democrat |
grows weak in the knees when the
word tradition is referred to i'm his
presence and hearing. Colquitt
is game, but he is superstitious
when it comes to precedent and
tradition covered with moss and
rust and showing signs of the dry
rot. i am convinced in my mind
that the man from Weatherford
will continue to sing platitudes
and draw his salary until the year
1906. By this time the congress
sional trust may be out of business
and superanuated congressman
will not be given a clear field in
the gubernatorial paddock. Tom
Ball was heir-apparent to the
throne, but he resigned his job,
dropped out of politics and now
he is practicing law and is max
ing money. Hon. 'Brons' Cooper
may have hopes, but the cards are
stacked against him. The voters
are weary of congressional trust
and the candidates select
ed by the trust dictators. Com
Colquitt had as good as
an even break to win out this
year. 1t will be different in 1906
with three strong men pitted
against him for the gubernatorial .
sweepstakes.

Three Hundred and Fifty Since
Jan. LIST.
The Growth IL Rapid, Especially
in Meohanicsburg and Fountain
Avenue Districts.
NEW MAIL CARRIER WANTED

Some idea Of the rapid growth Of
Paducah may be obtained from the
fact that since Janusry LIST of this
year $50 dwelling houses have been
erected. or are in course of erection
in the mail carrier districts of the
city.
These figures were compiled by the
Padueah mail carriers in pursuance Of
orders from the department. ana are
TO be used in an effort to secure an
additional mail carrier for Paducah.
There are ct present ten carriers and
two substitutes, but the city 10 spread
ing out so rapidly that these are not
enough, and it il desired to increase
the delivery facilities.
The houses mentioned above ha' Q
been built largely In Meohanicsburg.
in "Jeray." and in the Fount in av
enue district. Some of them are not
very costly, but they are all dwell
ings. and are for families. Superin-
tendent Of Carriers Ashton thinks
that the average Is four to family,
aud thinks that these houses represent
an increase Of population Of fully
1000 since the first Of the year, as
there are empty houses to be obtained
In the city.
The rush is not over, either. Many
other houses are contemplated, and
there is "A constant demand for dwell
ings of moderate rental.
One fact in connection with these
new houses is that probably not fifty
of the owners have secured building
permits for them. The law in regard
TO the latter 10 never enforced.
The increase in PAducah's assess
ment in September will be materially
aided by these new houses. Most Of
the structures are where vacant lots
stood when the assessment was made
last year, and the value Of the total
improvements viii help out consid-
erably.
The routes Of the mail carriers.
especially those in the suburbs, have
to be constantly enlarged in order TO
take in new dwellings inside the
corporate limits. and it is necessary
now to have additional facilities
for better handling the mail. II is
believed that the department will su-
thorize a new carrier for next year.

Of the shut down. necessitated by the
