The opinion of the court of ap
peals in the case Of the city OF Padu
cah against s. p. Ragsdale; etc, in,
volving the validity OF the noted
COW ordinance" was received BY
Prosecuting Attorney Thomas B
Harrison last night.
Judge O'Rear wrote the opinion IN
the appeal, which was from the Pa.
ducah police court. and not from the
McCracken court, as has been stated
The first part OF the voluminous
document is taken up with a copy OF
the city ordinance. which was enact.
ed by the general council May 4th,
1906.
As the Judge OF the police court
stated his reasons at some length
IN HIS judgment" states the appeal
I'VE will discuss and dispose of them
in the order presented"
The court then holds that II Is not
necessary TO announce In advance
that an ordinance is to be passed on
nor that the people should be given
a chance to regulate themselves and
their property according to the con.
dltions. "All ordinances" says the
opinion, "are necessarily matters OF
public record. of which everybody
who may be concerned by them must
take notice"
The count holds that only one subs
ject is treated in the ordinance. that
OF preventing certain cattle from
running at large" and what was ta-
ken to be other subjects were only
features Of the one subject.
The court holds that the clause
compelling owners OF offending cattle
to appear before police court and
show cause why he or she should moi
be fined, does not presuppose the
guilt OF the owner OF the stray ami
NAL" II merely provides for his be-
ing summoned that the question OF
his guilt may be tried. as in any 9th

ing the ordinances of the city. when

SOLDIERS DISCHARGED.
Passenger Agents of IL Railroads Be-
scigc Fort Walla Walla.

Eighteen passenger agents of as
many railroads. were at Fort Walla
Walla bright and early this morning,
to get as many of the discharged SOL
diers as possible to go east over their
respective lines, says the Walla Walla
Bulletin.
Twenty soldiers were discharged
yesterday and they will soon leave
for their homes. The railroad men
were at the fort yesterday afternoon,
doing all they could to route the men
over their lines. but they failed To
land some of them, and had TO make
another trip.
The rivalry among the railroad
men, while confined to their persuas-
i've powers is keen, and every soldier
who received his discharge papers
was importuned to go home over "the
best road to the east" Most of the
soldiers listened to descriptions of
Is "best routes" and with so many of
the descriptions being made in such
a short time, they desired to have n
little time to think before deciding.
The passenger agents allowed them
all last night in which to collect their
thoughts and this morning went out
again to impress upon the soldiers
the advantages OF taking certain
routes east and bringing out other
facts which they had forgotten to
mention yesterday.
one advantage OF this, the soldiers
say, is that no matter what road they
take they will know Just exactly what
they would have seen had they taken
one of the other II routes.

English newspapers tell of Il young
cabman In Birmingham who by his re-
semblance to her dead son attracted the
fancy OF wealthy old woman. She be-
queathed him a fortune on condition
that he became an educated gentleman.
The cabman studied the classics enough
to lit himself for oxford or Cambridge,
but doubted whether he knew enough
of the manners Of young gentlemen to
conduct himself properly in their soci-
ETY.. So, putting pride in his pocket, he
obtained place as scout" or servant.

The Changing Tides.

The most approved theory among SCI
entists as to the cause of the rise and
fall Of the tide is that the moon is the
dominating cause through its dilferen-
tial attraction upon the opposite sides
of the earth, drawing the nearer water
away from the earth under the moon
for the production Of high water large
away from the opposite waters for the
production Of high water small. The
smaller tidal effect Of the suns at
traction becomes noticeable mainly as
modifying the lunar tide, increasing it
in the spring tides and decreasing it at
neaps and further modifying 1t in the
priming and tagging of the tides.
