THE WATER CONTRACT.

The water contract the council has
ordered submitted to the voters at
the election next month is receiving
careful consideration, and. where
given. every one seems to favor IT,
The mayor approves of il. and has
ordered the entire contract printed
in the local papers every day so that
all voters may acquaint themselves
with II.
The contract will met with some
opposition from some people who
think they see in II something that
will bind the city up so that it won't
be in a position to erect It's own wa
ter system in event il wishes to do
so. However. a reading OF the cos
tract will not reveal anything of that
nature.
Il am in favor of the city making
the contract the council proposed.
said Mayor Yeiser. "and see no rea-
son for any opposition to il. There
is nothing Objectionable IN it, and |
shall vote for 1t. Every man. woman
and child who knows anything ABOUT
such matters knows that favor the
city owning Its own water works
plant. and If this contract would pre-
vent anything Of that sort should
oppose it. As II does not. favor it. "
The contract means saving to
the city of $4,000 in is years. and
il does not in any way affect the right
the city has TO purchase the water
plant at any period that II can under
the company's franchise.
As the contract is to be found in
al. of the papers. IT is the duty of all
voters to read II so that they may

The Rigors of Cold Weather,

Probably at no time of the year
does the physical condition of the
body demand more attention than
Just at this season, the beginning of
cold weather.
Let the system be run down, or the
blood impoverished to any extent and
the cold weather goes hard with you.
Naturally the thing to do is to
get the circulation in good order, and
the whole system toned up to stand
the rigors of winter.
Some physicians prescribe the dali
~ cold bath, others seek recourse in
blood tonics and other stimulants,
but, probably the most rational treat
ment of all is the Osteopathic, as
Osteopathy more quickly, and more
effectively rights the blood flow and
restores normal conditions than any
other known treatment.
Osteopathy Is only natural
treatment. a method of bioodless sur
gical manipulations to remove any
distractions interfering with the pro-
per transference of nerve force, or
natural blood flow, or the other flu
ids, to the organ or part involved.
should like to have you call and
let me tell of some Paducah people
whom you know we'll that Osteopa-
thy has done much for. and also to

Chicago, Oct. 25.--In the type
written confession OF Howard +.
Nicholas. the theatrical manager who
with Leonard Leopold. a druggist.
killed and robbed Mrs. Margaret
Leslie. an actress; early Thursday
morning, was made public by the po-
lice.
The murder had been planned by
the two men In Nicholas room In
the Palace hotel three days before
II was executed. and each night az
ter the details were arranged the two
kept watch in the corridors. until az
last favorable opportunity for car
rying out the plans arrived.
The plans for the murder and its
successful execution as outlined by
Nicholas In his confession rival the
best efforts of the melodramatic pen.
and so neatly were its details car
rled out that q coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict OF suicide. and the
police practically gave up work on
the case until Mrs Leslie's father
came to the city. insisting that his
daughter was killed. and demanding
that the authorities sIft the mystery
TO the bottom.

To ask for the one most justly
celebrated passage in English prose
literature is like asking for the one
most justly celebrated sort of fruit

score of equally worthy passages,
each one making its especial appeal
to different mood OF the mind.
Ruskin's description of Turner'S
Slave Ship satisfies our love for the
majestic color and motion of the
sea. De Quincey's reverie on the Ne
bula in Orion carries a sense Of tn.
yastness and mystehy of the sky. Pa

life of buried Hellas. Swinburne's
eulogy of Rosetti astounds us with
the splendor and speed of his words.

While loading some pigs on the
steamer Clyde several got loose Oh
the wharf and the rousters set about
catching them. They could not drive
them onto the wharfboat so the only
way to catch them was to grab them
by the legs and carry them. The pigs
ran as hard as they could and for n
long while every time rouster at
tempted TO catch pigs hind legs he
missed. OF course every time they
missed a hold while running at full
speed on the steep wharf, the rouste-
turned several somersaults down the
wharf on the hard coble stones. Ev-
cry such occasion was greeted with
roars OF laughter by the loungers
around the wharf and spurred the
rousters on to greater efforts.
Several severe falls were gotten
by the rousters before the pigs were
caught and then they had to be
"toted' to the boat on chain bars.
They tried to make each pig walk on
his front feet while they held his
hind feet, wheel5arrow like, but that
wouldn't work.

THE WISDOM OF JAMES ]. HILL.

THE WISDOM OF JAMES J. HILL.
Foresight Is the quality for which
the associates Of James j. Hill con-
slider him most distinguished. Persons
who do business IN the northwestern
quarter Of the United States rarely
have a new commercial idea except
to discover that Mr.. Hill thought of IL
ten or a dozen years ago, and turned
II to the pro and supremacy of the
Great Northern railroad SO con-
spicuous is this quality in Mr., Hill
that not a few persons describe him
in terms which are the commercial
equivalent of seer and prophet. When,
therefore, Mr.. Hill bends his mind to
the future of the United States. 10 fail
to pay attention would be recklessness
Mr.. Hills present warning is that We
are riotlng through our natural re
sources with criminal improvldence.
'sBy 1850. iron." he says--and Mr.
Hill knows iron--"will have retreat
ed almost to the company of the
precious metals. The peril Is not one
of remote geologic time. but of this
generation" And the needless waste
of coal and all our other natural re-
sources points the path to the same
economic poorhouse. II would be in
teresting to know whether II was a
grateful regard for the feelings of the
Republican party or merely the limi-
tations of time which forbade Mr.. Hill
to point out the tariff as the most OBJ
vious abettor Of the waste of our re-
sources.
The remedy for threatened exhaus-
ton of natural resources lies in the
hoe. We must turn industry and in
telligence away from the factory and
back to the farm. The soil. differing
from iron and coal. is only renewable
wealth. IL is the only dependable
resource to give food and comfort to
the two hundred million Americans
of forty-fve years from now. We
must point inventors. chemists and
scientists to the consideration OF earth
agriculture, In the most intelligent
meaning of the term says Mr.. Hill,
sis something almost unknown in the
United States" Instead of it We have
"a light scratching of the soil aud
the gathering of all II can be made to
produce by the most rapidly exhaust
i've methods" Agriculture must be
more intensive. The individual farm
err must have fewer acres and more
hoes. He must nurse his soil. and see
to It that 1t produces more next yeai
than it did last. Evolution in farm
ing Is taking the direction which Mr..
Hill points. Irrigation Is making the
change. Farming an irrigated ranch
Is a problem in chemistry-there is a
fixed quantity of soil. a fixed guam
tity OF sunshine, and the water can be
measured out to suit. This kind OF
agriculture win evolve a very differ
ent farmer from the harried and hope
less victim OF too much sun in May
and too much water in July, who has
learned to accept the crop that
chance donates him. Moreover, irri-
gated land being more expensive.
farms will be smaller-from twenty
IN forty acres will probably be the
unit in the arid west. And in this te
dency lies much of the stability OF
our future.-From Golfers for octo-
