Pro ninent Tie Men and Railroad
Officials Go Through.
Are 10 Ascertain Why Certain Ties
Are Passed at shipping Points
Below by Inspectors.
WENT TO JorpA TODAY

A party of prominent railroad and
tie company officials passed through
Paducah this morning en- route to
Joppa and Brookport TO start an in
vestigation of the methods of tie in
spections particularly at the former
port.
The party was made up of Messrs.
J. u. Lord, president of the Aver Il
Lord Tie Co.: J. w. Fristoe, prcsi-
dent. and l.. X. Armstrong. secretary
of the Moss Tie Co; J. W. Dcssler,
superintendent of the Chicago. Bur
llngton and Quincy road; w. II. Hob
comb, president of the iIolcombe-
Lobb Tie Co. and Capt. J. +. Brow
inski, superintendent of terminals of
the G. and y. |. road. The party left
this morning at S:15 on the steamer
Dick Fowler for Joppa to begin the
inquiry.
II Is said that great deal of trou-
hle has been reported by the railroad
companies who refuse ties after
they have been inspected at Joppa
The ties are brought in by the tie
company boats and undergo two or
three inspections, and are supposed
TO be all right. Several instances of
late 1t is said, the railroads that
bought ties have refused TENN and
as the fault seems from every indi
cation TO be with the inspections at
the ports where the ties are shipped
from the barg IS. the officials deter
mined to slft the matter to the bot
tom and learn what Is the trouble.
It is said that few cases of reJec-
ton have come from ties shipped
out of Brookport and there is lit
tie complaint from this source.
hence Brookport will claim but lit
tie of the officials attention.
II is not known how long the Of
fcials will be on the work but It Is
thought they will remain at Joppa
no longer than one lay in which
time they can sec the methods en-
ployed In inspections.

MUCH INTEREST
~ BEING TAKEN IN THE SCHOOL.
EXAMINATION QUESTION
Some of the Teachers do Not Dcsir,
To Take the Examinations Ev-
cry Year.
e board then adjourned.

The school board last night decid-
ed To suspend for one year the rule
compelling examinations annually for
teachers certificates, provided teach
ers attend for six weeks some sum-
m,r training school This was done
because there seems to be desire
among the teachers to prepare for
the examination. those who have not
taken an examination for years, feel
ing that they need more time in
which to study.
The action last night suspends the
rule until the regular examination
time in June, 1906, at which time
every teacher will have to stand the
examination. The rule as II now
stands compels an examination. but
last year the compulsory clause was
suspended.
Many teachers nevertheless stood
the tests and secured better CO tiff
Gates which meant a higher salary to
them.
Trustee Morrison, who made the
motion to suspend the rule perma-
nently, claimed that certain clause
OF the rules stated specifically that
this was not retroactive In cases of
teachers now in the schools, but the
board members did not side with him
and only voted a temporary suspen-
sion.
The matter is causing a great deal
of comment in the schools because
there are many teachers who are
afraid to take the examinations. The
school board and others interested in
the welfare of the school realize that
the annual examinations are neces-
sary to keep the standard of teaching
up, and will adhere strictly TO IL after
this year. a.
A similar attempt was defeated
last year In the old board. and II APP
pears that the teachers will have to
all receive the same treatment, the
board not desiring to make one stand
the test and exempt others because
others have been teaching on old
certificates secured when the schools
were In their infancy.

question TO State Superintendent Fa-

certificates hold over and the board
cannot pass resolution compelling
teachers holding old certificates TO

Sent Out by the Government for
Week Ending April 10Th.
The Season IL Advanced Two or
Three Weeks rs Compared TO
Last Year, II Is Said.
PEACHES NOT MUCH DAMAGED

The government crop bulletin TO
the week ending April 10, is as fol
lows:
A cool wave, attended by frost
forming temperatures, pervaded tn,
state from the 9Th to the Sth. Heav,
frosts occurred throughout the cen
trail and northern districts. and llght
frosts formed in the southern dis
tricts. A decided temperature reac.
ton occurred at the close OF
the week and maxlma about
so degrees were recorded. .Precipita-
ton occurred, mostly in the form of
snow flurries in the northern. and in
portions of the central district, on
several days, but II was very unevenly
distributed. and rain is needed in
many Localities.
The season, as compared with last
year, Is advanced two to- three weeks.
The weather has been exceptionally
favorable for farm work. The soil
is in excellent condition, and consid-
cradle progress has been made I'm
sod and stubble blowing. A few
fields have been planted to corn in
the southern district and with a con-
tinuance of favorable weather plant
ing will be done, in the central dis
trict, during the ensuing week.
The seeding of oats, in the central
and southern districts. is practically
finished, and the plant is showing in
many fields. The work is well under
way in the northern district. Many
correspondents remark that the grain
has been sown under the most favor
able conditions obtaining for several
years.
Gardening has begun and potato
planting is in active operation. Some
early planted potatoes are showing in
the southern district.
Wheat is mostly very promising.
While soma fields are thin or spotted,
and the plant in others has not at
tanned seasonable growth, the gen.
eral outlook for the crop is very ia
vorable. The condition of rye is uni
formy good.
Cherries. plums, pears and apricots
arc in full bloom, except in the north
crn tier of counties. Peaches In the
southern district and in parts of the
central district are not so badly dam
a-cd as was anticipated. Some or
,h1rds are showing a fair bloom and
= moderate yield is expected. The
fruit suffered severely in the northern
'ountlcs. The outlook for apples is
fair at this time.

JAPANESE H~AIRDREssING.

This is quite a fine art; and there q
pretty woman will not grudge a whole
day spent in front of her mirror while
her attendant applies the pomade so
necessary for her elaborate coiffure,
in which there must not be a hair out
of place. The picturesque curls and
fufiness admired by Western women
would not for a moment be tolerated
by her, and her abundant tresses can
not be too smooth and too stiff for the
elaborate designs into which they are
formed.
1t is only while they are young that
Japanese women have a wealth of hair;
much of it disappears when they are
about thirty, and as old age creeps on
their attire becomes severely simple.
There is 10 pretense about being
younger than they are-that is an idea
which would strike them as decidedly
foolish-and so little do they mind the
world knowing their ages, that the
arrangement of hair shows the differ
ent stages they have reached in life's
journey.

various kinds are worn in the hairpins
