BAD TREATMENT
WAS THAT OF THE BEAVER MEN
AT NEW MADRID. MO-,
FRIDAY.
The Authorities Refused Medicine
For Injured Man and Hit Man
"a Years Old.

II is likely that trouble will be
caused some one at New Madrid, Mo-,
on account of the treatment accord
ed men from the steamer Beaver
last Friday night. when they attempt
ed to go to shore for medicine for
man who had been scalded. 1t seems
that the case showed very unreasona-
Bile brutality and inhumanlty on the
part of the authorities of New Mad
rid.
The Cairo Citizen gives the follow
ing particulars OF the affair:
THE Beaver went about 20 miles
below New Madrid and were on their
way upstream when the affair occur
red. Engineer Volley Davis was bad.
ly scalded, and Capt Harpole sent q
yawl ashore for medicine to relieve
his sufferings until they reached Cal
no. In the yawl was Pilot Farnesley,
William Riggs, barge man ~ years
old. and two deck hands. When still
some distance out into the river .
Waterman on shore warned them
they could not land They held up
health certificates and offered to
show them. Pointing his gun at
them he commanded them TO return
to the boat. This incensed Riggs and
with an oath he called out you will
hear from this" Then the officer
who afterwards was found to be Dep
uty Marshal Gus Richards. again lev
eled his gun and commanded them to
come ashore. They obeyed his or
ders and when Riggs stepped out of
the boat, Richards struck him back
OF the right ear with the butt of his
revolver, knocking him down. Riggs
recovered himself and picked up q
rock to strike the officer. but al
word from Capt. Farnsley he threw
his rock down. The men we're then
taken to jail where they were locked
up for an hour. Tim they were TAX
en- out and Riggs was allowed to
plead guilty and was fined total OF
$6.95. The rest OF the crew were dis
charged.
Capt. Farnsley then requested
permission to go to a drug store and
get some medicine for Davis, bat was
denied permission. He had to ask a
friend to perform the service.
THE Beaver arrived at noon to-
day. The officers are very indignant
over their treatment"

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE

Louisville has inaugurated a cru
SADIE against disease (which every
city and town in Kentucky-as well
as everywhere else,-would do well
to emulate. 1t is a concerted, sci
entitic fight against consumption
the white plague. the disease
which kills more than cholera, diph-
iberia, smallpox, yellow fever and
every other disease combined. 1t Ia
true in Paducah, perhaps, as well as
elsewhere. Here we have no means
OF finding out the number of deaths
and cause therefore as they have in
other cities, owing to the fact that
it is one of the ways the health au-
thorities have of conducting their Of
fetal business, and il they ever give
out the number and causes of deaths,
no one has heard of it.
Every city should begin fight
against tuberculosis, however, and
begin It now. The Louisville Herald
covers the ground in the following
Kentucky has now ar earnest and
thoroughly representative Anti-Tu-
berculosis Association. The object
of the society is human betterment
by an organized scientific fight on
the white plague which annually de-
vastates the country, carrying off
many more victims than yellow fever
or other dreaded diseases. The CEN
sus figures for 1900 show a total
of 54,S9S deaths from consumption
and general tuberculosis for regis
tration area embracing ten states
and 1853 registrations, representing
population of 2S,sO7, 269, or abo&
3S per cent. of the total population
of the United States. The total for
the same area in 1890 was 1926
Deaths from consumption and gen.
eral tuberculosis in 1900 we're 1905
against 245.4 in 1890. falling OFF of
54.9. But as the mortality statistics
considered worthy of use by the CEN
sus department, are limited to a
comparatively small area and popula-
ton, they fail to mirror exactly the
awful havoc wrought by this fearful
monster throughout the entire coun-
try.
Exact figures would, we appre-
bend, show most lamentable and
needless slaughter of the race. Ken
lucky is sufferer to an extent which
is becoming fntolsrable from the
ravages of consumption. Here 1t car
ries of annually hundreds of victims,
who. by prevention or cure, might
have been saved to home, friends and
state. The able, earnest and human
body of gentlemen who have organiz-
ed the Kentucky Anti-Tuberculosis

STATEMENT BY MAYOR NEWMAN.

1t having come to my notice that
the Mayor and city council Of Havre
are being unfayorably critized on
account Of the high taxes in the city
this year; therefore feel it incumb-
ent upon me to state, for the infor-
nation Of the taxpayers Of the city,
that the city tax levy is but three
mills higher this year than it has
been for several years past, this three
mill levy being for the purpose of
paying the interest on the bond issue
of 6,50O.OO and same will not be
necessary next year, the only adj
ditional tax being the payment of the
sewer assessment to those having the
sewer improvement upon their prop
erty, this being about $3.50 per &c
foot lot, these will be annual pay.
ments of $3.50, if there is any in
crease over this in the assessment OF
any property owner, neither the
Mayor OF the city council are respon
sible for same. L. NEWMAN,

The Poor Moon,

Natives In Bulawayo, South Africa,
have a curious belief concerning the
moon. They say that he has two wives,
one OF whom treats him we'll and the
other badly. During the first quarter
he goes over the hills to the Zambezl
and lives with his first wife, whom
they call Keep the Door Open. She
feeds him so well that he gets fat and
full and round. But on his way back
he stays at the hut Of the second wife
Shut the Door Tight-who starves
and Ill treats him, so 1t is a very thin
and woebegone moon that finally re-
turns to start his travels afresh.

RATHER SUDDEN,
Was Death of Miss Clark,
Formerly of Hopkinsville.

The many friends of Miss Alice
Clark will learn with sincere regret
of her death. which occurred at
Russellville Saturday. Miss Clark
was formerly housekeeper at Bethel
Female College and for several years
held a similar position at the Phoe-
nix Hotel. She went to Russellville
about a year ago, where she had
since been matron of Logan College.
Her death was rather sudden, as
she had only been ill a short time,
and her condition was not con-
sidered serious.
Deceased was a member of the
Baptist church. She leaves a host
of friends in this city and county.
The remains were inferred at
Franklin yesterday.
