The Council Tonight.

The council meets in regular SEES
sion tonight and has a good deal of
business on hands. The ordinances
for the improvement of the down
town streets and Fifth street, which
are to be improved this year, will be
brought in for first passage. They
were brought in at the last meeting
but the sidewalks and street work
were embodied in the same ordinan-
ces so they were sent back to have
separate ordinances brought in COW
ering each.
The street car company franchise
ordinances authorizing the changes
and extensions of the car tracks Will
be brought in again for second pas
sage, but they will be amended to-
night with a provision calling for the
maintenance of the street two feet
outside the tracks, instead OF one as
in the first ordinance. An amend
ment will also probably be brought
in changing the route from Madison
to Clay on Fifth, and making the
line run on Fourth to Clay. then up
to Fifth and thence north to Trimble
instead of on Madison to Fifth,
thence to Trimble.
The ordinance calling for the re-
construction of the sidewalks on
Broadway from Ninth to 18th will
be given first passage.
The appointment of the electrical
inspector will also be approved.
A resolution will be passed en-
ploying a special police officer to be
mounted to enforce the COW law, and
Mr.. Lycurgus Rice will probably be
selected for the place.
The board of health willhave some
ordinances up for passage If they
can be gotten in shape In time'
among them being one for the estaD-
lishment of a garbage system where
by the garbage will be collected dali
ly. There is great demand for 1t, but
as the expense would have to be
borne by the city this year, nothing
will probably be done with 1t.

the restaurant badly damaged. and a
panic among guests and the public
generally created for a while.
The east wall of the one-story
building collapsed in the center and
the roof began TO break and fall in.
The breaking was slow to start and
the warning cracking OF the sinking
walls and crumbling ceiling were
slow In their purpose. the guests not
suspccting the real danger that sur
rounded them until the brick began
TO fall and the. walls fell with loud
rumbling. audible more than two
blocks away.
Drs. w. II. Pitcher and F. F. Du-
ley were seated against the wall
waiting for their dinner to be served.
There were two Others in the dining
room. but these were strangers TO
the Paducah doctors. The first inti-
nation OF the disaster came by a
wavering of the walls and crack
ling sound as the ceiling began to
part and the side OF the building to
sink. DR.. Duley interpreted the
sound as a warning for hasty de-
campment. and grabbing his hat
started for the door. DR.. Pitcher
was slow to leave and Duley grabbed
him Just as the walls crashed in.

the Brunswick billiard hall across

Mixed the MedicIneB.

OAlthough in perfect health, James
Mund, Of certain house, is always
taking medicines. The 10Th of last
month he brought home TWO small
bottles.
"Whst ails you now?' laughed his
wife, who bad for years told him he
needed no medicine, the doctor agree
ing with her.
THAT" he said, pointing to one
bottle, lis appetite medicine" And
she knew that he ate more than any
other man in the nejghborhood.
''Tbat,' he eaid, pointing to the other
bottle, "is sleep medicine.
And she knew that he slept souudly
from bedtime until she woke him in
the morning.
Il hope you may soon recover" she
said.
AT night, having taken his medicine,
he went early to bed.
Now for good sleep" said he.
About midnight he called to his
wife, who was fast asleep:
"Maryl Oh, Maryl"
"W-what is il DEAR" said she.
i've made o mistake" he moaued;
"the greatest mistake Of my life. In
stead OF the sleep medicine I took the
appetite medicine, and can t stand it;
I'm hungry as bear"
She did not socld him as she cooked
him steak and made some coffee. In
the morning, after taking his medicine,
he sat down at tho table to await
breakfast.
"1ll cat you out Of house and home
now, Mary" said he.
When breakfast was F5aay she asked:
"Tea or coffee, James?"
{ But no did not answer. he did not
look up. He was sound asleep. She
did not awaken him, peroeivipg that
shis time he had taken the sleep medi.
cine for the appetite medicine. With
stariug eyes he sprang from his chair
ct noon, and, laughing when he cav
his wife smiling, he threw both bottles
as far as he could into the garden.
He is very, very careful with bis
medicine now.-Brooklyn Citizen.
