Thousands of people in Paducah
doubtless will flock to the banks of
the Ohio river about next Monday
when Charles C. Oldrieve, is expect
ed TO arrive here, walking on the
Ohio river.
Prof. Charles c. oldrieve, who is
walking on the waters of the OHIO
and Mississippi rivers from Cincin-
natl to New Orleans on a wager Of
IS, 900, passed JeffersonvIlle, Ind,
in good shape, and but few hours
behind his schedule time.
Oldrieve wears skids on his feet,
each about three feet long and six
inches wide. He aocomplisnes the
feat of walking on the water, ap-
parently without difficulty, using a
motion similar to that of persons
skating on the ice. AS he arrived
east of Jeffersonville boats tied up
along the river shore greeted him
with a din of whistles. and within a
few minutes the banks on both sides
of the river were lined with people
by the unusual spectacle. ao e
On January 9 Captain Charles w.
Oldrieve arrived at Cannelton. If he
travels on schedule time he should
reacn Cairo about next Wednesday.

GOOD ROADS.

without knowing the details OF the
plan for wholesale improvement of
the McCracken county roads, we wish
to record ourselves on the side OF the
better roads movement, and pledge
our support in advance to any honest,
scheme for the permanent
Improvement of the county highways.
Farmer and city man should join in
support of the idea. Both will be
benefited more than either realizes.
1T is customary among farmers not
to consider the value of their own
labor. that of their horses nor the
wear and tear on their implements.
The agricultural industry is not so
highly organized nor is the economy
of the business so nicely estimated,
as is that of the city corporations.
But just the same these elements do
enter into the matter of profit and
loss on the farm. For instance, eggs,
butter, corn, oats, or whatever it may
be bring a certain price in the mar
ket The market Is in the city. If
the weather is bad and the roads i'm
passable, the farmer must wait at
home until it is possible to haul a
heavy load to the city. In the mean
time reserve supplies of the commodi-
ties may be called out by the price
offered and by the time the roads are

that would not require mending the
next year. In that event only suffi-
cient money for a sinking fund to pay
interest and retire the bonds would
have to be appropriated. It would
not be long before the principal and
interest were paid, and with that off
our hands the McCracken county tax
rate would be permanently and ma
terially reduced.
It is true that a small amount of
permanent improvement might be
made each year, but while this was
being done the county would be vast
ing thousands of dollars keeping the
mud roads in a passable condition.
There is no disputing the assertion
that every dollar spent in building
up mud roads is wasted, and this
wasted money might as we'll be going
into a sinking fund to cover the
cost of building good roads for Nc
Cracker county farmers.

Pure Blood Is Essential to Good
Health.

DR.. A. =. sin, the discoverer Of
ost eopathy, stated many years ago,
that perfect circulation of blood con-
tanning the proper food elements for
tissue nourishment was absolutely
essential for the maintenance of
health, and all researches along bac,
THEOLOGICAL lines have proven WITH
out doubt the fact.
Perfect circulation Is dependent
on normal structure. As long as the
different parts of the human organ
ism are in proper relation to each
other, and We observe the laws of
Nature, the arteries and veins will be
unimpinged and the blood ciriulate
freely.
Pure blood is the best germicide
known. Germs and their Ill effects
will disappear from the presence of
pure blood.

good the price has fallen. Eggs and
butter usually are high in the worst
season, and they are high because
the farmers can't get to town to sup
ply the demand
When roads are good the wagons
last longer, the horses demand less
feed, and bigger loads can be hauled.
Besides these features the comfort
and convenience of being able to
drive to the city at any time to pur-
chase supplies buy medicines or see
the doctor or dentist are worth con-
by the farmers. especially
when the convenience can be secured
for actually less than the cost of in
convenience, a matter VIII CHI viii be
touched upon directly.
The city man can more easily see
the advantage to him of having the
roads in such condition that the
farmer can come to the city whenever
he desires to trade The city man
is used to considering conditions
which affect trade. He knows how
bad weather and bad roads affect hol-
'lday business.
Better roads mean better commun-
ieation and more frequent associa-
ton among scattered members of a
community, and these things have a
direct bearing on the Intelligence and
culture of the community.
This argument is predicated on the
possibility of permanent improve
ment OF the highways, and permanent
Improvement of the highawys can be
secured only by liberal expenditure
the first year. Ever after that no
more than enough money to cover
the interest on the loan and to keep
the roads in condition is necessary.
Even should the cost be exactly the
same, it would be better to perman-
emily improve the roads than to con-
tinue blowing and scraping the mud
beds year after year. But in reality,
if the work is well done the only pos
sible result can be an ultimate reduc-
ton Of the tax rate, and this ques-
ton of tax rate is going to be seri-

Just word by way of post script.
Not one critic of the recent general

gance. They point to floating in

complaint IS that the general council

penses OF the city could be taken care

what it undertook to do with the
$1.65 levy. For the excess there are
improvements to show. How much
worse of is the city? II the general
council had levied the SIS, 900 more,
that amount would have been appor-
toned among the departments and
they would have spent just that much
more in their operations, with prob
ably no more to show for It than
there now is. The last general coun-
ell just saved the taxpayers SIS. 900.

MEN AND FIGURES.

When a Democratic mayor writes
the history Of a Republican council
and that Democratic mayor under
stands the subtletles of his mother
tongue as Mayor Yeiser does, the
light Of his exposition is likely to-
throw the kindliest of rays on the ad-
ministration and the cruel violet ray
into the legislative department.
He threw something Of this kind
into the recent general council in his
annual message last night, and had
it not been for one Tatuituous bit of
fallacy designed to excuse the board
Of public works. the figures might
have been allowed to stand as he
characterized them-"a deficit Of
S44045.36." It would be well for
the present general council to heed
the executive warning, for his words
indicate that the board of public
works has a right TO incur obligations
to the limit of its own estimate re-
gardless Of the appropriation made
BY the general council.
The board Of public works at the
beginning of the year, 1906, asked
for s2S,OOO. It was given $4,000. At
the close of the year there was a de-
felt in the street department of ST.
1861. Now listen to the words Of
Mayor Yeiser:
THE apportionment statement
shows many accounts oyerdrawn, the
leading one being the street depart
ment. for STITCH, caused by the
council cutting down the aDpropria-
ton asked for by the board Of public
works from S2S 900 to SIS, 900"
How differently It would have
sounded, and yet accurately it would
have been stated had Mayor Yeiser
said. the deficit was caused by the
board of public works falling to keep
within its apportionment"
Mayor Yeiser and the board of pub
lie works know that the deficit was
caused by the board Of public works
not keeping within the limit of its
appropriation, and this was the very
point called TO The attention of the
general council yesterday by THE
SUN. The board may have seen
where it could spend s2S, 900 to ad-
vantage. but 1t was only allowed $751;
600. This allowance was made to
the board of public works last Janu-
airy and the board was cognizant of
the amount it was authorized to
spend 1t was then the duty of the
board to "cut its coat according to
the cloth"
According to the reasoning of the
mayor, If this general council does
not give the board Of public works
$4,000 the board Will be justified
into causing an oyerdraft, and the
difference between the amount APP
portioned and the amount of obliga-
tons Incurred, may be excused as.
"caused by the council cutting down
the appropriation asked for by the
board of public works"
Now. we had been willing to &C

complished permanent improvements

New York July 1S.-Mr Hartman, speaking by telephone from Arden tonight, said:
 From what 1 am told the report is a political document and part of a personal pursuit of me The tone of the report and the method of it's promulgatlon show that. Imagine court or any judicial body send ing copies of it's decisions around secret ly 10 newspaper publishers days in ad vance under pledge to publish 1t simul- taneously Sunday morning. That is what the commission did. Their oplinon was put in type several days ago and sent to newspa pers throughout the oourGry. with tie following printed in bold type at the head:

 "I shall study is carefully and have something to say about 1t later. But from what l am told 1t is full of strange mis- statements of fact For example, in reference to the Chicago and Alton, it says that l caused about $12. .0oO,0oO to be credited to construction expenditures, in order to find an excuse for borrowing money to pay dividends. As a matter of fact that was a written recommendation made by President Felton when 1 was in Alaska ard 1t was adopted by the board of directors at meeting at which I was not present. Again it is said that a cer- tain method of accounting that was car ried out would have the effect of cover ing up the payment of the special dlvi- dend, thereby intimating some wrongful eoncealment. This is a most extraordinary statement for the writer of the report to make when 1t is considered that the stock holders necessarily knew of the dividend when it was published In every financial journal at the time and was reported to the stock exchange and shown on it's printed lists. The suggestion. therefore, of any reason or desire for conceal ment is most unfair.
 T am informed by those who have ex- amined it that the article is full of errors, as glaring and inexcusable as these, but shall read 1t carefully and make full statement about it."
