SECRET SERVICE MAN
Believes Some "Bin Raiser Is Work
ing Railroads.

G. NJ. Boland. of the United states
secret service, has been in Paducah
several days looking for a celebrated
negro "bin raiser" who was seen in
Paducah several weeks ago. He left
Paducah for Memphis at 8: 45 O'Clock
this morning to prosecute his search
further south, having failed to locate
his man here.
Boland was also looking into the
passing of several counterfeit dollars
here, and it was tipped that he will
watch the southern trains closely.
Several bad dollars turned up in the
hands of passengers on trains from
the south. This led the secret serv-
ice men to believe that a gang of
showers of the queer" are working
railroads. Boland is from Cincinnati
and was assisted in his work here by
the Paducah police department. The
negro he is after escaped from Ba,ti-

There we're 4,094 hospital days

to the daily cost. leaves us 81 cents

the purpose of comparison we will
take the record Of the old city hos

1908. to March 81, 1904, which is
the year before the establishment OF
the present hospital, we find that the
cost Of the old hospital was $2.1sO.35

during that year, reduced to the
month, the cost would be $177.52,
and the cost per hospital day 5S cents
