By |. C.. Officials After Annual
Inspection.
Which viii BE Made Soon After th,
Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Comes To "a Close.
MANY CHANGES ARE RUMORED

Following Immediately after the
annual meeting of directors and
stockholders of the Illinois Central
at Chicago October 16, will come the
annual inspection of the road by di-
vision superintendents and higher Of
ficials, and the result will be author
ity for numerous improvements, of
which the Louisville division will
come in a big part.
Especial attention is being direct
ed towards the south, where a con-
geston of freight traffic has been
conspicuous since the Illinois Central
invaded Nashville. 1t is stated that
within the past three years business
from the south on the Illinois Cen
tral has increased fully 25 per cent,
and between Paducah and Princeton,
where much freight via. Nashville Is
handled, several hills impede traffic.
Two years ago talk of cutting down
hills on Paducah district was indulg-
ed in, but never materia.ized. IL is
stated that such improvements are
imperative. and will be performed
within another year.
Rumors OF changes in superlntend-
ents on southern divisions have agaii.
begun to float about, but no credence
is given them. The report that Super
intendent Egan, because of his sue
cess in six years service on the Louis.
vile division, the hardest on the sys'
TEN TO handle, is to be given another
division, is denounced as false. The
fact that the popular official has han
died the division better than any pre-
decessor, is argument that he viii

is still bothering local employees OF
the road. Mr.. r. Z. Fulmer, who re-
signed more than a week ago from
the position, returned last night from
Louisville, but could give out moth
ing definite as to who will be his sue
cessor. He is waiting to be relieved
and it is stated by Monday sue
cessor will be here.

PAYS IN PENNIES FOR PIANO
Missouri Woman's SIPS in Copper
Cents VIII BE Used As Ad.

A piano sale was made al Blue
Rapids recently which was somewhat
peculiar. Mrs. f. r. Reed. wife OF a
restaurant keeper OF Blue Rapids
bought piano for 1915. says the
Kansas City Journal. The first pay
ment was sle., which she made all
in copper mt. Twelve thousand
five hundred ceu.s weigh more than
one hundred and four pounds troy
The salesman who made this deal
placed the money in a large double
compartment grip and tok It to st.
Joseph, where the pennies will be
placed In q window OF the plano
store, with a history OF the transac-
tlon as an advertisement.
Six years ago Mrs Reed commenc-
ed saving cents while living on a
farm. Every copper she got hold of
from the sale Of butter. eggs, poultry
and other produce she put away. Al
ter the family moved to Blue Rapids
and engaged IN nc bakery-restaurant
business the opportunity for accumu-
lating pennies was somewhat better.
and a short time ago she felt able to
invest in a piano.

INCREASED PAY
WILL SOON MAKE ARMY LIFE
MORE ATTRACTIVE.
Enlisted Men VIII Receive SIS PEI
Month With Good Chance Of
Improvement.

Sergeant Blake had two recruit,
for Captain VIM l.. Reeves, CON-
mander of the Evansville recruiting
office, to swear in today, Claude
Wood. of Kansas, Ky. and VIM
Gaines. of Unlonville, III. The men
were sent TO the Jefferson barracks
st. Louis, and Captain Reeves left for
Cairo, where he has three recruits
I'VE expect to greatly increase our
number Of recruits" said Sergeant
Blake, today. I'VE expect congress
will increase the pay of the service
about 80 per cent. and this will
make il a great deal more attractive
As It is, every branch complains OF
its inability to enlist any desirable
men on account of the poor pay. The
big men OF the army have recon-
mended an increase OF 40 to so per
cent. but l do not look for more
than a 35 per cent. increase. Will
this increase, new men would re-
celve SIS a month, on enlistment
and in three or four years could
work up to SIS, which, considering
the fact that they receive free board
and clothing, is a good inducement
for a higher order of men.

SOUND LOGIC.

August and September are two
months when one has TO be very care
full about every condition that makes
for good, or bad health. The system
is usually beginning TO feel the strain
of the hot summer months and the
different organs need but very little
to throw them into complete dlsor-
der and result in probably fatal IL
ness.
Good health is assured however II
you heed natures gentle warnings,
and are in any measure discreet.
The usual summer disorders-ma.
laria, general WORKOUT, and run.
down, conditions, biiousness, stomach
and bowel disorders of all kinds,
chronic or acute headaches yield
readily, and very quickly, to the Os-
teopathic treatment, and have no
attending Ill effects. Usually you are
as Ill from the customary medical
prescriptions as from the illness, but,
in Osteopathy you experience none OF
this. Let me tell you at any time OF
the great success | am having with
the treatment in Paducah. / shall re-
fer you to people you know well for
the evidence. and who will tell you
just what 1t has done for them.

his deathbed January 81, and died
three days later.
Five men were indicted as princi-
pals in the murder. and the alleged
accessories indicted were Caleb Pow
ers and four others. Later an In
dictment was found against Gov. Tay-
lor. but he had gone to Indiana,
where he has since resided, the gov
ernor of Indiana refusing to surren-
der him on the ground that he could
not get a fair trial in Kentucky.
What has he to hope for from the
party gang that robbed him of the
office TO which he was elected and
forced him to seek safety in another
state? Powers case is sufficient
answer. Powers has been in jail
seven years and is yet to be finally
tried. He has been placed in jeopardy
of his life before juries made up en-
tirely of Democrats. He is practi-
cally serving an unlimited sentence
without a trial. Taylor would fare
no better II not worse. He would be
a plaything for the Democratic poll
ticians who are trying to carry Ken
lucky in next November's election.
The Goebel prosecutions have been
a partisan juggle from the first, and
that is all they will ever amount to
as long as the men at the head of
Kentucky's government are disciples
of Goebel, and tainted with his theory
that an honest ballot can be thrown
aside for the benefit of state ring. "

IuSTIFIABLY SKEPTICAL.

"In the heat of state campaign
and badly in need of ammunition, the
Democratic leaders of Kentucky are
making various offers of immunity to
w. S. Taylor If he will return to the
state to appear as a witness in the
fourth trial of Caleb Powers" says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. "Mr.
Taylor doubts the sincerity of these
propositions and has ample reason for
his opinion in his past treatment by
the same men, or others like them.
In November, 1899, Taylor, the Re
publican nominee. was elected gov
ernor of Kentucky by a vote of 1884,
ia to 191, 1871. All the returning
boards. including the state board,
composed of a majority of Democrats
declared that Taylor had been elected
and he was duly inaugurated. But
the legislature proceeded, under the
leadership of State Senator William
Goebel. and an infamous law he con-
triyed to declare that Goebel was en-
titled to the Office of governor. Goe-
bel was assassinated January 30
1900. by some one (never yet identl-
fied) who fired from window in the
state house. Goebel was sworn in on
