A BIG MARKET.
Many Buyers ThrOngcd the Building
Today.

There was a big market this morn
ing and the buyers were so numer-
Gus that it was almost impossible TO
get through. The stock OF dressed
turkeys, geese and chickens was
probably the largest Of any day this
season. There were also plenty OF
buyers for all of them. This is the
big market day preceding Christmas,
for on Christmas there is.practically
no market and there will be none
tomorrow, as ii is Sunday.
On sale was almost everything
that could be secured on market.
Several kinds of fish were to be had
Vegetables obtained at this season
were there, and one meat seldom
seen except right at Christmas time
was little pigs, nicely dressed. ready
for stuffing and placing in the oven.

LONGER COURT.
Bill To BE Prepared and Introduced

A meeting of the Paducah Bar SIS
ISOLATION was held at the city hall
last night. and the members OF the
profession present readily agreed to
the proposition to extend the time OF
The McCracken circuit court by cuS
failing the Marshall circuit court
and adding the time 10 this court.
There are now three terms a year
of the Benton court. one lasting -four
weeks,and the other two, three
weeks each. II is proposed to take
week from each of the terms and
add them to the terms in this coun-
ty, where longer sessions are need

burns. He may want to rebuild. He
naturally wants the same advantages
accorded his competitors, some OF
whom may have been here only a
short time. If he asks for five
year exemption, which his young
neighbor across the way may be get
ting, he is turned down on account
of a technical construction of the
law. This good citizen who has liv-
ed here for years, paid thousands OF
dollars taxes. and done the city in
calculable good, is not able to get
what a new man is willingly given.
Such discrimination is certainly
sufficient to make the good citizen
feel keenly the ingratitude of his
fellow citizen in the legislative
boards, and anyone else would feel
just as he does
II seems Chat the members of these
boards should remember the object
of the exemption statute and apply
II where and in a manner that will
do the most good. The law should
be applied with tact, justice and
promptness.

BETTER SPIRIT IN KENTUCKY.


A better spirit is coming over old
Kentucky, says the Louisville Her.
aid. The Goebel revolutionary era
brought many into prominence, some
we freely admit on the republican
side, undeserving of or unfit for
public honors and responsibilities
Goebelism created a profound shak-
ing up in the democracy. The old .
time conservative leader and coun-
sellor was turned down for the vio-
lent, radical, INSCRIPTIONS mouth
piece. Some excellent democrats left
their old-time party associations to
become republicans, loyal and effect
i've. Such. they have proved by deed,
courageous and unselfish, often re-
peated But other so-called demo-
Gratis, profiting by the unsettled con-
ditions in their own party, also came
oveN. not for convictions sake, but
to pose as martyrs and cavort as
converts, to better obtain rewards in
the form of Offices denied them in
former party surroundings. The
leadership assumed In republican
councils by some of these unconvert-
ed democrats has worked for much
evil in republican circles. But the
party is awakening to the evil and
fully equal to its abatement.
1t is, on the other hand, pleasing
to see independent democrats take
firm stand for the honor of Kentucky
in the matter of proposed statue
to Senator Goebel to be placed at the
expense of this state in the nations
hall of fame at Washington. The
Owensboro Inquirer rightly says of
that despotic politician:
"He possessed not single charac-
teristic of the great man. except de-
termination to achieve his ends,
''Magnanimity is a part of the
great man. He would scorn success
attained by such means as Goebei
used and permitted to be used in the
Music Hall convention, for instance.
Let us hear no more of Goebel
in this connection. If his worshipers
want to continue their idolatry. much
of which is as insincere as Goebel
was insincere, let them do it, but let
not the great majority of the people
of Kentucky suffer for their idola-
try"
Well said. Kentucky has suffered
very previously in national standing
by the association of its name with
Goebelism and Goebelistic methods.
The late William Goebel stood for
despotism, with himself as chief ty-
rant, that had crushed Kentucky by
depriving her of capital, enterprise,
progress and population. Kentucky
must dissociate herself absolutely
from all that is implied by Goebellsm.
We need capital and enterprise. We
need population and progress. These
we can have by a large-minded.
clean-handed, broad gagged system
of state politics.

EXEMpTING MANUFACTURERS.

Some of the members OF the gen
eral council appear to take a very
narrow view of the principle of ex-
empting Industries from taxation for
a period of five years as an induce
ment to their location. They ges
up and fruitlessly waste time quib-
bling over trifes and technicalities,
when a little investigation would
show them that what the progressive
people of Paducah want them to do.
so far as Paducah is concerned, is
only what other Kentucky cities do.
We want to be just as generous
and liberal as other cities, because
we shall have to place ourselves on
an equal footing with them in the
contest for supremacy in locating
new manufactures, if we expect to
accomplish results.
The exemption law is capable of
either a liberal or limited construc-
ton. Some hold that not only new
factories, including every particle OF
property they own, may be exempt,
but that property may be exempt that
supplants old factories that have
burned. In some places the latter
construction has been placed on the
law, and with satisfaction and sue
cess to the town, 1t is alleged.
But how is IL here? A factory
that is undecided about where TO To-
cate, would prefer going elsewhere,
to being juggled about in the local
boards (Which seldom seem to know
their own minds for two days in sue
cession) in an effort to secure the
legal exemptions. Every advantage
of locating a new factory seems Of
ten to be lost sight of In avaricious
contemplation of the few dollars in
taxes Immediately in sight.
Some officials are short sighted as
well as unjust.
Paducah has always adhered to
'iAt iuNo AidA IL a. man VI
tory burns, the factory he puts up
In its place is not a new one. Sup
pose he builds ii somewhere else?
The five-year exemption law is part
ly, no doubt, to induce him to build
il here. His new factory is just as
much another factory as If there had
never been one there. He might
build the new factory here, or might
build IL somewhere else, or might
not build ii at all. The five-year stat

city to offer him inducements TO re-
build, II il is necessary, and the as
sumption Is reasonable one. At
least many good lawyers claim that
the statute may be so construed with
fafety.
Yet what is the situation here? A
man may live here thirty or forty
years, assist in upbuilding the city,
furnish scores of people with means
OF making a living. year in and year
out, pay big taxes every year. and in
many other ways contribute to the

How They Celebrate in II. G.

Attorney l.. O. Meigs returned last
week from Nelson, B. c., where he
has been for some time investigating
some mining properties in which he
and his partner. George McCauley,
are interested. and which are very
promising at this time. The prop
erty, known as the Dundee claims,
has already become quite extensively
known. and experts give it as their
opinion that there is no bet
ter near Nelson. which is
in the heart of one of the
best mining districts in the
northwest Mr.. Meigs was in Mel
son during the three days celebra-
ton of Dominion day. lie popula-
ton of the town is about the same
as that of North Yakima. and there
were enough visitors there to bring
the total number of people up to 49,
600 and yet the crowd was so order
ly that not even street fight was
seen. During the celebration the
one day police officer and one night
police officer regularly employed
kept the peace unassisted by any
extra men. The people have a
wholesome respect for the law sell

WARM WEATHER HELPS
Get Rid of Your Catarrh by Using
HyOmei Now.

Get Rid Of Your Catarrh by Using
Hyomei Now.
Everyone who has catarrh should
take advantage of the warm weather
to get rid of this annoying and dis
ment, faithfully followed, in June
or July will benefit much more
quickly than in the Winter and early
Spring.
Do not try to cure catarrh of the
head and throat by taking drugs in
to the stomach. 1t cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way
in which this too common disease
can be cured is through a direct ap-
plication that will kill the germs of
catarrh and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
When using Hyomei every parti-
Gle of air that enters the air passages
of the throat and head and goes into
the lungs, is charged with healing
balsams that kill the catarrhal germs
and soothes and allays all irrita-
ton.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show decided improvement, and
in short time, especially II used
at this season of the year, there will
be no further trouble from catarrh.
You take no risk in buying Hy-
omei. The complete outfit costs but
one dollar, and If after using you
can say that the treatment has not
helped you, Fred A. Janeck Will re-
turn your money. 27-2t

: GAUNrr's PLANS CHOSEN.
New Courthouse Will BE Built in
Accordance Herewith.

Another step, and the most i'm
portant. in the direction Of the much
needed new courthouse for Yakima
county, was taken Friday when the
commissioners decided to accept the
plans submitted by N. C. Gauntt.
The contractor is busy now with the
specifications. and as soon as these
are prepared, bids will be adver-
tised for by the commissioners.
1t Is generally believed that the
building planned Will be acceptable
to everybody. 1t Is to be two stories
high. with basement. The latter
being above street grade, the build
ing will have the appearance of a
three-story structure. 1t will be en-
tirely of stone, the basement of
basalt rock and the upper story
walls OF Port Angeles stone.
The arrangement of the court
house as to rooms and Offices will be
as follows: Basement-Sheriff's s,
superintendent, surveyors and
United States marshal's Offices,
ladies' waiting room and room in
which public meetings may be held.
First Floor-Treasurer's auditors,
assessors and commissioners offices,
opSulhS oul IhNo q ldt &c udiI vi Io-
tunda Second Floor - Clerks,
prosecuting attorneys, federal and
superior judges offices, federal and
superior courtrooms and a suite of
five rooms for use of federal officials.
The building will be as nearly
fireproof as building can be made,
and thoroughly modern. 1t will be
steam heated and lighted by cleo
tricity and have all the vaults,
closets. laboratories and storerooms
necessary. The architectural style
Is colonial and Spanish combined.
The plans also include the Jail,
which will be separate building.
also of stone. connected with the
courthouse by an enclosed passage
built of stone. It will include a
residence for the sheriff The total
cost of the courthouse and Jail will
not fall below $4,000.

1t Served Him Right.

The story is told on a young man
not a thousand miles from Sunnyside
which illustrates the folly of patron
izing mail order houses. He had
built a new house and ordered COM
plete set of new furniture, which was
to arrive about the time his bride
should become the mistress of the
house. In due season the furniture
arrived, and. as usual, failed to suit
In fact, it was so bad that the newly
welded couple concluded that they
would try and dispose of it. They
couldn't send it back, and they hadn't
the nerve to ask the local dealers
to take 1t off their hands. They
learned that in the neighborhood was
a poor family who needed some fur
niture, and they suspected they might
be glad of an opportunity to get some
cheap furniture. When approached
on the subject the lady of the house
was much pleased with the prospect
of getting some brand new furniture
at big discount But imagine their
surprise and chagrin when the lady
came to inspect the furniture to hear
her exclaim: "Oh, law. wouldn t
have it in my house, The moral is
apparent.-Sunnyside Sun.
