PUTTING UP STREET SIGNS.

Paducah might do as Chicago Is
doing-call for volunteers TO put up
signs showing the names of streets.
There ought to be enough public-spir-
tied citizens on each block to see that
legible, durable signs are put up. 1t
would Of course be better IL all the
signs could be as near alike as posi-
Bile, but on account of the lack of
funds, this is impossible, hence any
kind would be better than none.
The Chicago idea, which might be
tried here is thus explained in the
News:
Mayor Dunno is calling for vol
unteers in a campaign to affix street
designations at corners Throughout.
the city. The mayors attention was
called to the lack of street identifi-
cation yesterday, when two citizens
became bewildered and lost in the
loop district, although they knew the
street and number of the place for
which they hunted. The mayor in
vestigated. 1t was learned that the
committee on street-nomenclature
has $1,000 or $500 available for
street signs, but that amount would
not furnish the loop district.
''The absence of street signs" said
the mayor. sis shame and nuis-
ance and should be remedied prompt
ly. If the city waits until 1t gets
money it will take years. The real
practical way to do it now is to call
for volunteers. 1t would cost lndi-
viduals only a dollar or so. while the
designating of the streets by sign by
the city. | should estimate, would
cost $4,000 or more. And We have
no money. The merchants associa-
tions should take the matter up, and
| will be glad TO cooperate with any
to that end which may be
started. If the work had been start
ed when II should and the succeed
ing administrations had kept up the
work this unfortunate condition
would not now exist

Daily Thought.
Happiness would be bleak with
,ut sorrow for a background.
NEED OF A QUARANTINE.

The board of health has not been
changed enough to do much good
There are only two new members,
and two are not enough to effect any
change in the boards former attitude
in the matter of a quarantine. The
board has persistently refused to
throw about Paducah any kind of a
safeguard in the matter of admitting
refugees This is the first city on
the Illinois Central railroad this side
of New Orleans, a distance of 700
miles, that allows anyone from any
place to get off train without a
health certificate being demanded.
Ii seems to be because the men,
bers of the board of health fail to
take a practical view of the situa-
ton. They have apparently acted
contrary to the desire of the best
business interests of the city. They
have stubbornly taken the position
that there is no danger of yellow
fever developing here, being brought
here, or thriving here, which is prob
ably a good one, but it misses the
main point entirely. Their belief
is probably shared by most of the
best informed people in Paducah-
by even those most insistent on the
establishment OF a quarantine. But
it does not fill the bill. An inspec-
tion quarantine is wanted in Padu-
cab, not because we are afraid of
yellow fever, or afraid that ii will
be brought here. but simply because
If we do not throw out some sort of
restrictions and the fever situation
should suddenly become worse,
which II is likely TO do any day,
dozens Of cities in Illinois, Tonnes
see and Kentucky will quarantine
against Padueah, and not allow
person or consignment of goods from
Paducah, to enter. If we show
these surrounding cities that We do
not allow persons to come here with
out health certificates, they will not
be afraid of us, and will not quaran-
tine against us.
This is the only idea in wanting
Padueah to quarantine. We simply
want to satisfy the people who will
be afraid unless we do. II may not
help Paducah any. so far as health
is concerned, for most OF the quar-
antines are farces. but It certainly
cannot hurt us.
And the board of health may safe
ly count on one thing. That unless
Paducah makes some pretense of
quaraatining pretty soon the mer-
chants are going to find their sales
men and their goods barred from
every town around here, and II will |
mean the loss OF thousands OF dollars
and may last for weeks.

Several railroaders were spinning
yarns In the wash room" where
the engineers and firemen go after
coming In on run, to clean up,
and after several pretty good ones
were told, an od-timer who had
been seated quietly listening to
them. spoke.
You have heard 81 the big
Strengthening houses in the cities
where there are five or six stories
and hog is started at the top one,
struck in the head with a maui and
his throat slit and on the next floor
he is put through some other pro-
cess and so ON until when the bot
tom is struck he is cleaned and
ready for sale in the meat shops?
Well, | can beat that a hundred
points and this rs an actual occur
renee.
81 was running on the limited
through the west and we were sew
eral hours late. We had one or
two stops to make but no passen-
gers to discharge. and we got orders
to go by the station and make up
the time. We had several million
aires on this trip and they wanted
TO get to the coast and this rein
forced by the presence of tn eroad
president on the train. made the
orders a little easier to understand.
AT one stop we made to take on
water one of the big guns took a
notion he wanted bear meat. after
wards learned, hut none was to be
had. He had been sampling the
champagne too freely and felt hurt
that he could not get what he want
ed with all his money to back him
up. L am going to have bear meat.
want it understood he declared
as he pointed a threatening finger
at the porter and cook of the diner
but no reply being made he stormed
a little more and pretty soon re-
turned to his car when the bell be-
gan to ring.
1--WE whizzed along at about 80
miles an hour and when rounding
curve imagine my surprise to see a
big bear right in our way. That
rascal was standing on all tours and
waiting for the attack. He was the
spunkiest or the most deplorable,
uneducated bear / ever saw to buck
up against that limited going at the
rate We were.
at was too late 10 stop and did
not even have time to shut off steam
and apply the air. Nothing short
of 500 yards If that could have been
sufficient to stop that train.
well, there was dull thud and
Mr.. Bruin shot high over our heads
We hit him solid and tell you that
bear made some time over that |
train. My fireman at the time was
WdltIlHS the COdl uOWn anu the |
scalding water soaked old Bruin. |
He alighted on top Of the cooking
car and in some way got his hide
caught in a ventilator. That hide
soaked with that hot water actually |
was so badly scalded that IL came
off, and Mr.. Bruin finished his trip
by falling down on the rear end of
the cooking car, this being the last
car in the train.
Imagine the surprise of the cook
TO find that bear meat right there
ready for cooking. Well, that negro
sliced up that bear. cooked him well
and within an hour after the bear
was struck the Big Guns were seat
ID at the dinner table eating bear
neat.
"The cook did not explain how
he work was done-he couldn't
,ut you bet me and my fireman got
our dizzy out of that 500 tip the
Big Guns left"

He Put His Family Aboard Train
at Memphis Yesterday.
And When He Started on He Was
Not Allowed To Leave the
Train.
FORCED TO COME TO PADUCAH

The health authorities in Mem
phis are running Humpty- Dumpty
show of their own in Memphis
least this is what Mr.. w. ]. Nolan n
well known i. c. machinist, believes.
When umpty-Dumpty got his fall
the damages could never be repaired
and when Mr.. Nolan got on a train
at Memphis to see his family off yes
terday he was not permitted to get
of, and was carried away to the first
place he was permitted to stop, and
this was Paducah.
Mr.. Nolan is tool man in the |.
C. shops at Memphis and Thursday
morning went to the train with his
family to see that they got seats in
the train. Mr.. Nolan was attired in
his overalls and when he boarded
the train never thought of the health
authorities demanding his health
certificate. He saw that his family
was seated and started to leave the
train.
He was surprised to find the door,
locked and health officers with biz
pistols demanded his health certifi-
cate. Mr.. Nolan had none, never
intending leaving the town. but the
authorities didn't know him and re-
fused to let him off the train. One
officer was taken to his family who
vouched for the machinist but the
officer was still unconvinced and re-
fused to let him Off
The machinist had no money with
him was dressed in his overalls and
was without a ticket. yet he had to
ride and the railroad company had
TO carry him free. because he had no
ticket or money and was refused
permission to get off at any station
before Paducah was reached.
Ca reaching here he went to the
4. c. shops and held a conference
with Master Mechanic r. j. Turn
bull and this morning Travelling En-
gineer Lloyd Grimes. of the Tennes-
see division, came up to arrange to
get transportation for Nolan and a
health certificate. or do whatever
may be necessary to get the machin-
list back to his home.
The situation is a very delicate
one for the marooned machinist.
The local officials are today confer
ring with health authorities in Mem.
phis to get the employe back.
This is the first case of its kina
reported since the rigid quarantine
was inaugurated in Memphis, and is
an example of the care and precau-
ton exercised in Memphis to prevent
the fever from getting into the Ten
nessee metropolis.
Mr.. Nolan's family was en- route
to La Sale Ind,
The episode goes to show the fran
tic fear of many people of yellow
fever. and how silly they sometimes
act. Up at Jacksonville, Ind, the
big towboat Sprague. which hasn't |
been to New Orleans in a month,
was made TO move outside the cor
porate limits through fear that she
had brought the infection. and as
other big towboats come up the river
scores of towns were in panic over
the prospect of the boats stopping
for stores.

VIII Heath reported to the police
this morning that his wheel was sto-
