! MI Marks OI tne sewer committee
asked for some information concerning
the Interpretation of the new sewer
ordinance, whether the sewer could
be built at any cost and then turned
back to the city for them to shoulder.
The solicitor said that if a sewer was
built by private individuals that they
had to assume all of the responsibility
and that the city would not accept
the sewer in any other manner.
After some discussion Mr. McGaI

prepare list of the properties where
no pavements had been put down and
present to Council. The Solicitor
will then proceed against them. The

Primrose Social On The Lawn.
The lawn festival at the grounds of
Chester J. Buck Tuesday night was
very beautiful affair. The lawn was
in splendid condition, the weather
fine and cool. and the people in at.
tendance were in high spirits.
The trees hung with Chinese Ian
terms and transparsncies; the whole
tasteful decorations was the work of
Misses Helen and Bertha Reeves.
There were seven tables at which
cake and ice cream were sold. These
were decorated with Chinese napkins
and asters, the prevailing flower now
Ths festival was under the manage
ment of Mrs. Frank Gibson, the
president and Miss Helen Reeve. the
vice president, and was given in aid
OF the Chinese Occidental Home of
San Francisco, which was destroyed
in the earthquake catastrophy.
An attractive decoration was the
transparency of Chinese woman on
the painting Of the figure on the trans
parency. Another attraction were the
three young ladies from Irving Avenue
church who wore their Chinese cos.

Scared Wife.

Millionaire John j. Ryan, the
former plunger. in an attempt to
brighten his wife at the Cincinnati
fall festival, came near suffocating
to death in a coffin. In one of the
restaurants collins served as tables
and the lights are always turned
low, sometimes being out altogether.
1t was while the lights were
out that Ryan crawled into coffin.
Just after he had laid himself out a
waiter passed, and seeing the coffin
lid disarranged screwed it down.
Ryan finally was released after he
had poked his head through the glass
top, and his wife had tainted from
fright.

Sheep Growing.

Well fed sheep always produce the
most and best wool, Softness and
pliancy of wool usually correspond
in a degree with fineness. Harsh
ness and dryness are always detri-
mental to the. quality even if the
fiber is otherwise good. AS rule,
this condition may be taken as an
indication of poor breeding, although
it may be due to disease, old age or
improper treatment. Generally a
fleece begins to decline in value and
Weld after sheep becomes four
wears old. Softness and pliancy are
to considerable extent due to the
ksecretions of. the skin. A clear pink
or yellowish skin is an indication of
a good quality of wool, while a pale
or blush skin is generally accom-

Northern Labrador, with wife. from
Hudson bay. All we'll"
This telegram from Stephen p. M.
Tasker, dated Domino. via Cape
Race. N. F.. October 4, was the first
information of the whereabouts of
the sender and his young bride since
last June. when they departed on
their honeymoon.
The message, addressed to the
Philadelphia office Of the Associated
Press, conveys the intelligence, in
addition to the fact that Mr.. and
Mrs. Tasker are safe and well, that
they have also performed the almost
impossible feat of crossing the vast
ers of Labrador at Hudson bay.
Tasker is thirty-one years old. He
is a marine engineer in the United
States navy. detailed at Cramps
ship yard. He secured a six months
furlough. and with his bride under
took the expedition as a bridal tour.
Starting from this city four
months ago, the Taskers went to the
Hudson bay shore of Labrador, and
there, organizing a pack train with
dogs, sledges and provisions, began
their journey. After travelling
many days they lost their way and
their food supply ran short.
For sustenance they were obliged
to kill their sledge dogs. After their
last dog had been eaten they reach
ed a small settlement, where they
were cared for by the natives. This
information was furnished by a
messenger, who forwarded the
above quoted telegram from Domino.

When is an Old Maid.
kansas City Journal.l

When does a girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and
shorn of delicate innuendo, is now
figuring in the somnolent discussion
Of philadelphia society. One might
say that girl becomes an old maid
when she fails to marry betimes, but
that is not the point. What is the
exact year that ushers in spinster-
hood and close forever the gates of
youth? Of course this is no matter
in which man has any word to say.
No rational wearer of trowsers
would tempt fate and the scorn of
femininity by attempting a sugges-
tirn. for any arbitrary dead line
would necessarily bring down upon
the luckless masculine head storm
of reprobation. 1t has been left to
the women themselves to brave the
peril. And they have placed the age
at forty years. Under this ruling
a woman is a tender bud until two
score years have continued their
gloomy litany of days and the hair
near the scalp begins to whiten.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country then all others
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed locals remedies. and
by constantly failing to cured with
local treatment, pronounced it incu-
rable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
thereof requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. j. Cheney & Co,
Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts d.
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
face of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails
to cure. Send for circulars and tes-

AN ODD SUIT
Filed IN the Circuit Court in Which
an Electrician Machine Is Al
legged Source of Trouble.


One of the most remarkable suits
that ever came under our observa-
ton has been filed in the Hancock
circuit court by Mr.. Murray Roberts
against DR.. V. o. Standish. Mr..
Roberts thriving farmer and tim
Der dealer who resides in Tywhapita
bottoms, near the Daviess county
line, while the defendant in the un-
usual case is a prominent young
physician who moved here fifteen
months ago from Campbellsburg,
Ind, and who has worked himself
into an excellent practice.
DR.. Standish has offices on the
second floor of the new Hawesville
Bank building, front rooms, and his
office work has been no inconsider-
able part of his practice. In this Of
flee is an equipment seldom found in
town the size of Hawesville, de-
signed to aid the sick and injured,
and among the outfit is numbered
what is termed a static current or
electric machine, designed for use in
treatment by electricity. A very
powerful current of electricity can
be generated by this machine. or it
may be graduated to a light one.
The stairway leading up to the
Standish offices is located on Main
cross street, midway between the
bank door and the door entrance to
the Haynes saloon, and the first step
is sufficiently high off the pavement
to afford a good place for two or
three people to sit. On Saturday
especially this doorway is nearly al
ways blockaded by the presence OF
two or three men, so DIR. Standish
claims to have found that such was
injuring his Office practice, inasmuch
as many of the people, especially
ladies. would pass by rather than in
terrupt those sitting in the door.
An idea presented itself to STAN
dish. He would run wire from his
electrical machine down stairs to the
doorway, which was provided with
two strips Of tin across it, and touch
the obstructionists up with current
of electricity. This worked we'll
and for more than month it was
better than an old-time circus to see
people hiking" out of that door
way.
On Friday of last week Mr.. Rob-
erts was in town, and he got hisn."
A good bunch of electricity was
turned in. Roberts went straight
up and out, and is said to have
moved very rapidly.
At any rate, in his petition for the
sum Of $1,000 damages, he recltes
that the atmospheric conditions were
favorable, his trousers being very
wet, for great injury from such a
shock. and that it has so injured him
to this extent, and he prays judg-
ment for this sum.
The case will be watched with in
terest, inasmuch as it involves a
point never adjudicated in the courts
in this section of the State before.
In the meantime the machine still is
busy at work and others are being
thrilled and precipitately moved
from their moorings each day.

Going to School Again.

To learn of the A. S. of E. is'like
going to school again. A farmer
may be fifty years old and all that
time he may be learning how to
produce crops but has much yet to
learn. The A. S. of Z. teaches how
to market crops, a thing which has
been more difficult than producing.
1t won't require fifty years. howev-
err, nor fifty hours, to learn but 1t
does require some time to show the
farmer what he must do to get 30
cents per bushel more for his wheat,
20 cents more for his corn, 25 cents
more for his potatoes, B cents a
pound more for his cotton and other
things in proportion, than it does to
show him how to save few dollars
on a machine or a few cents on gro
cSries by buying comparatively.

"MAUOS" NEW TRICK
SpOttSville KY, Mare Mule
- Does Unparalleled Stunt.
Over Twenty-Three Years of Age
and Milk Flows From I'd
der by Mere Touch.

One of the most remarkable freaks
of the animal kingdom was reported
this morning at the Journal Office as
occurring at Spottsville. and is
vouched for by Mr.. X. j. Jennings
one Of the most valuable citizens of
That or any other precinct of the
County, says the Henderson Journal.
Mr.. John ID. Langley, who is also
well known and much esteemed by
his neighbors and friends, is the
owner of mare over twenty-three
years of age. Ii was noted a day
or two since. for the first time in the
history of the animal, that there
was an unnatural swelling of the I'D
der and an investigation was imme-
diately instigated. resulting in the
discovery of the honest phenomenal
existance of heretofore unreported
occurrence. On taking hold of the
udder it was discovered that it was
filled with milk and in bringing to
bear the natural process in milking of
a COW, milk began to flow and there
was stream resembling that flow
and there was stream resembling
that flowing from a bovine with her
fist young calf. Nothing OF the kind
sfad ever before been observed and
those who witnessed the phenomenon
declared that they had never heard
of a similar occurrence in all their
lives. Think of il. they said, mare
mule, and that. too, over twenty
three years of age! 1t is possibly
the most remarkable case ever re-
ported and is deserving of a
thorough investigation by experts
who may know a thing or two in adj
vance of their fellows.
