The COW catcher started to work
this morning. AS he will find his
task hard one for scme time, The
Sun suggests that the citizens as
sist him in enforcing the stock law

such information and that it will
help them good deal in enforcing
the law.

srRrNKLE THE STREETS.


The dusty conditions of the streets
already are bad in the extreme, and
the residents will have to give them
their attention or suffer the result
of dusty streets,--diseas and annoy
ance and dirt. Yesterday the dust
was awful. to express IT mildly.
1t was hoped the city would pro-
vide measures to sprinkle all of the
streets by a sprinkling tax. but un-
fortunately the matter was not
taken up at the proper time. and
therefore cannot be done this year
The provision should have been made
at the same time the tax levy for
the year was made.
Sanatarians say that dust is
chargeable with a good deal of sick
ness, and |; therefore behooves us
TO sprinkle Paducah's streets. So,
get out your garden hose, and pre-
pare to sprinkle your streets every
day, and see IL you can induce your
aeighbors to do the same.

Heyman and others against Nathan
Heyman and others TO require the

the estate of Rosa Heyman.

Much has been written lately of
the records of the seismograph and
there is interest in the great instru-
ment, which, as its name implies, is
an earthquake indicator. The seis-
mograph is regarded as perhaps the
most delicate of all machines con-
structed for scientific use. Its pend
rlum is so delicately adjusted as to
remain stationary when the other
parts of the machine are disturbed
by any irregular motion of the earth.
One form of the instrument has the
vertical pendulum and another has
the horizontal pendulum. The hori-
zoDtal pendulum turns on a vertical
axis and carries a heavy weight at
Its extremity which the shock Of the
earth does not affect Attached to
this weight is a platinum sheet
which has SHIT in a second sheet
underneath. When the earth shakes
the lower sill moves and the light
passing through both slits at the
Intersection prints a line on a NOV
ing strip Of Photographic paper show
ing the divergences from the normal
straight line. and upon these diverg.
ences the caluculations are made.

THE OBSERVANT
CITIZEN FINDS
THINGS WARM

''These are warm days I'm more ways
than one" remarked an observant citi-
zen TO a News Democrat reporter today.
"The gentlemen who are working in the
interest OF that straight Democrat, Col
Colt, are doing the most wearisome work
they ever engaged in during their lives.
Most OF them are putting up pretty good
BLUFFS on the results OF their efforts; but
the real manager of the gang for whom
ONeill is but mask. is mighty weary
and very much disappointed.
Some OF the traction company's lieu
tenants are saying that tricks have been
turned i'm the First and Ninth wards that
viii make il impossible for the decent
element of the party 20 win.
Il take no stock i'm such statements.
for. while the Colt Perry organ of false.
hood treats the opposition to tbs Repub-
lican machine gambling element is some
thing for mirth. the Democracy OF this
city Is very much in earnest this time.
Democrats do not want the city stolen
for the benefit OF the representatives, OF
the trust magnates OF the United States.
BY the triumph OF the IIesslan element
alone can Col Colt succeed. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary that when the Re,ubli-
can state convention meets next month
IL should appear that Providence will
elect a Republican assembly ticket, or no.
even the tallest pair of rubber boots made
by Col Colts rubber mills will save him
from the Wetmore food.
1T is well known that the Democrats
have a good lead In the registration in
this city: and the only hope the Brayton
machine has OF carrying this city is that
the thugs, gamblers, beer dispensers and
political prisoners who vote the Republi-
can ticket on election day control the
Democratic caucuses next Thursday eve
ming
"In other words, O'Neill's gang is the
advance guard of the big trust combina-
tions that want another Aldrich in the
senate.
1T is not strange that the gang has
plenty Of money. / believe the Democrat
ic leaders are making the best and closest
fight they ever made i'm this city There
is no one OF them who is afraid 10 speak
his mind and the leaders are right in de-
claring that I'm the present contest there
can be no neutrals. for every man must
be either for the trust magrr ter and their
associate thugs or aga Siem.

The bean issue threatened for time
to be as serious as the mysteries of

revealed before the commission on We'd

the problem. And the answer seemed
TO be. when II is a boiled bean.

may be violating the law as II will be set
