RIFLES OF EVIDENCE.

Ever, when we speak of wisdom,
our thoughts turn to the picture of
the learned Judge in a tribunal of JUS
tice. When We speak Of the perfec-
tion Of reasoning, We have considera-
tion of those rules of procedure that
govern the practice of the court, and
particularly those which have to do
with the submission of evidence,
going to the credibility of witnesses,
the competency of testimony, its re,e-
vancy and weight. But sometimes
the logical mind of the lay member of
society receives a shock that brings
justice into ridicule and the courts
into contempt Yesterday morning
in the police court two policemen
with satisfied countenances stood
aside while a saloon keeper, whom
they had arrested on the charge Of
violating the Sunday closing law. and
four witnesses, whom they had caught
standing at the bar drinking, proceed
ed TO explain the compromising situa-
tion in which they were found The
policemen. mind you. did not see any
money in sight, but the men each
had bottle Of beer and the bar
terder was busying himself behind
the bar, while they drank. The four
men and the bartender testified that
the bartender had declined to either
give the men a drink or sell 1t to
them. But he went out and they
each seized bottle from a cooler
from which they saw the bartender
extract one for his own use, and be-
gan drinking. The bartender then re-
turned and stood behind the bar
while they drank the stolen liquor.
Under the circumstances Judge
Cross said there was no evidence that
the saloon keeper was violating the
Sunday closing law.
We had supposed that circumstan-
tial evidence is considered by a court,
and that court has the right of any
reasonable man to draw the usual and
natural conclusions from the cireum-
stances. Also We supposed that when
a man testifes. stating alleged facts
in his own interest, which are con-
.trary to the most plausible deduction
from the circumstances surrounding
the matter under investigation, the
court has some right TO draw obvious
conclusions from that. But not so
with the rules Of evidence in the po-
lice court. It seems that circumstan-
tjal evidence is OF so little weight
that all required to overthrow It Is
an explanation that explains nothing

HARD TIMES COMING.
e. II. Hartman Wars People Agains,
Excesses.

Washington, March 7.-E. H..
Hartman, the railroad magnate, who
has been in Washington since last
Friday, said:
81 think ssaS the currency and
tariff questions shcdld be settled in
more definite way before congress
and the present administration de-
vote so much precious time to regu-
lating the railroads. The interests of
the country demand that there should
be some modification of the, tariff,
but since we have no, Mckinley, or
Dingley, fear that the prospects for
such legislation is not very encourage
ing. The United States will not al
ways enjoy the prosperity that has
prevailed during the last decade.
Hard times will certainly come again
unless congress and the people gem
orally change their tactics toward the
railroads and corporate interests"

Big Damage Suit.


Macarthur Bros, contractors, Of
Chicago, have brought suit for $751;
200 against the Illinois Central rail
road for damages and alleged de
ferred payments for work done. The
Macarthur Bros. secured the contract
for building the Illinois Central from
Paducah to East Cairo for s516. 462,
and claim they were prevented from
finishing the work until ten months
after the date stipulated in the con-
tract, because the railroad had failed
to secure the right of way. At the
conclusion of the contract the rail-
road. it is alleged. paid the firm
S47S,157. A bonus of s7.326 was
offered If the firm would finish the
work to Barlow City by a certain
time, and a bonus of $6,7SO if the
contractors should finish the road
from there to Cairo in given time.
The contractors claim they were pre-
vented from earning these bonuses by
the company. They also include in
their bill money alleged to have been
paid out to secure a right of way,
damages and the expense Of main
tanning their camps and equipment,
while waiting for the railroad TO Sc
cure the right Of way.

.what osteopathy WIN DO.


There are but few people who have
not heard of osteopathy, also of
some of its achievements. But there
are far too many who have accredit-
ed 1t with being good for only those
conditions from which they have
been cured. or which have come un-
der their observation. Not infrequent-
ly there is mutual surprise when one
who was cured of rheumatism meets
another who has been cured of asth-
ma or constipation. This is homely.
but very true illustration.
Personally, I have cured chronic
cases Of constipation, Rheumatism,
asthma, nervousness, neuralgia anu
headaches for people whom you
know well. and the value of the Os-
teopathic treatment is but coming
generally known in Paducah, as 1t
should be.

One day Prince Door took the cloak out of its
hiding place, and sitting in the middle of it, his, arms
around his knees with beating heart, he said; "Abrs-

his poor little lame nephew, Door. and had sent this
little lame Prince to live in black tower far far away
so that he might be King
