ulation. too. would do more to defeat
the sanitary precautions the extent
and ravages the plague warrant, than
to promote them. We do. however,
believe that attending physicians
should be strictly required to report
all such cases at inception and death,
and the health officer should be COM
PEELED to fumigate after removal and
perform all such duties as will de-
stroy lingering germs. We have be-
come SO accustomed TO consumption
that the fear of 1t and the under
standing of preventative measures
are not sufficiently widespread to
warrant drastic reform measures. We
must educate ourselves to the recog-
milton of consumption as more terri
BILE than smallpox, diphtheria and
scarlet fever.

COFFEE COMPANY
ORGANIZED To TAKE OVER f.. w
BOCKMON's BUSINESS.
Has Outgrown Plant and Enlarge
menf OF Concern win BE Made
az Once.

Articles OF Incorporation have just
been filed, organizing the p. w.
Bockmon Coffee company.
The organization of this company
at this time is a very clear demon
stration OF what may be done in this
locality by men OF ability who un-
derstand and attend to the business
in which they are engaged.
The new corporation viii take over
the business Of e. w. Bockmon. Mr..
Boclxmon will be at the head of the
new corporation. which insures its
success.
%. w. Bockmon, some years ago,
began In a small way to conduct the
business of buying, selling and roast
ling and grinding coffees and spices
Iand the handling and rehandling of
teas of all kinds. His business has
grown and spread out until he now
finds it necessary TO increase his
capital, broaden his field Of operation
and start in operation another, indus
trial corporation for the city of Pa
ducah, which will in time, not only
be a credit to the gentlemen having
It's management in charge. but will
be credit to the entire community.
By the terms of the articles of in
corporation, the capital stock is $685.
600. divided into 1000 shares of the
par value Of $25 each; the stock is
fully paid up and worcestershire, and
will be divided into two classes, pre-
ferred and common. The preferred
stock will be Z per cent dividend
paying stock, and the common stock
will, after the payment Of the pre-
ferred dividends, draw per cent.
Any additional earnings will be
equally divided between the two
classes of stock.
Mr.. Bockmon, knowing the possi-
bilities of this business, will put his
entire plant in the new corporation,
and wild accept common stock in pay
ment for same. 1t is understood that
such stock as will be offered for sale
will be sold only, to merchants en-
gagged in the grocery business. so
that the corporation will be cooper
ative in its scope,
If the city of Paducah had many
such institutions as this one prom
ises to be. 1t would make this one of
the most prosperous communities of
the south. A man who takes bust
ness. begins at the bottom, under
standing every detail. investing his
own capital and time to develop it,
is the man who viii build lasting
success in the venture he undertakes.

Governor Vardaman has given
proof of his sound discretion in avoid
ing a joint debate with Congressman
John Sharp Williams. Vardaman
may measure up well with the aver
age Mississippian, but in the present
campaign for the United States sena-
torship he will have to compare
measurements with John Sharpe Will
liams, and Williams is a public man
of extraordinary proportions for any
state. It may be, nay probably will
be, that vardaman, being politician
capable of things to which John
Sharpe Williams would not stoop, will
win the toga, but that will be Missis-
sippi's misfortune. With John sharpe
Williams in the senate Mississippi
would outrank every other Democrat
ic state in the amount of brain repre-
sentation in the upper house; and
there would have to be considerable
improvement in most of the Republic

pare favorably with that of Missis-
sippi.

What osteopathr 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 it 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 a homely,
but very true illustration.
Personally. have cured chronic
cases of constipation, Rheumatism,
asthma, nervousness. neuralgia and
headaches for people whom you
know well, and the value of the Os-
teopathic treatment is but coming
generally known in Paducah, as It
should be.

THE MEMPHIS IDEA.

Memphis is to choose a new super
dntendent of public schools and the
Commercial-Appeal takes view OF
the problem that is sufficiently naive,
and original to be worthy Of preserv-
alton.
Says the lcommercial-Appeal in
part:
Il seems to us an almost indie
feasible proposition that Mem
phis should turn down her own
educators and go abroad expert
menting. # we should place a
stranger In charge of our schools
1t would take him several years
to get in thorough touch with
our system. He might be an
entire alien to our manners and
line of thought. He might want
to change the entire system here.
He might be out of harmony
with the teachers.
Manifestly the Commercial-Appeal
considers the Memphis school system
a time honored and hallowed institu-
ton, which local pride and patriotism
dictate shall be preserved in its pris-
tine purity, unchanged by time and
undefled by the irreverent hand of
a stranger. The Commercial-Appeal
thinks it would take the stranger
several years to get in thorough
touch with our system. He might
want to change the entire system
here"
Verify, the Commercial-Appeal
means the stranger might wish" to
change the entire system. Memphis
might want" change and not
know IT,
Ordinarily, here, where our school
system has been a gradual evolution,
and where constant changes are nee
essary to keep up with the times, the
school system has not been perfected
to that state, which Memphis appar-
entity has reached, where any change
would be a deterioration. We expect
the superintendent to bring changes
in the system with him. We are
looking for "aliens to our line of
thought, - because We believe that one
Zine of thought means a "rut" and
We want nay We wish, to be gotten
out Of any rut into which we may
have fallen. and the only means we
know Of is to secure people with new
lines of thought

body remained unheeded.
Fishers Point, the nearest point OF
land, was not quite five miles west
ward of the point where the steamer
went down and every boat imme-
diately headed for that place. But
the boats were heavy and the men at
the oars were weak. A so mile gale
blew on their backs as the men
strained at the ice covered oars in a
hopeless endeayor to overcome the
handicap against which they were
struggling.
The boats and RATS soon became
separated and the only details of the
terrible disaster which could be
learned here were given when Nc

Human Blocks of Ice.
officials of the Joy Line received
a detailed report from Captain NJ
Gray, of the steamer Kentucky. which
went to the scene of the Larchmont
wreck today. No one was found
aboard and Gray said there was about
five feet of water in the staterooms
on the hurricane deck. The Ken
lucky was anchored off the spot
where the survivors landed in small
boats.
Graw was rowed ashore. AS he
neared the spot, the captain said he
saw huge blocks of ice and as he
neared the beach, discovered that the
blocks of ice covered human bodies.
In the bottom Of boat in which
people had left the Larchmont, he
found ~ bodies, several of them
women. These the captain said had
frozen to death in the boat, while
about in the sound.

While We all deplore the sensa-
tional. exaggerated methods of 'yel-
low journalism. there is a degener-
ate type of the so-called ''independ-
ent" newspaper that does more to
bring the craft into disrepute than
the worst phase of ''yellowness. -
That is the sheet that publishes rank
political falsehoods in the guise of
news for a cash consideration. Some
times. to be sure, the editor is not
particeps criminis and is imposed on
by a reporter, but such cases are
such obvious ''smoke-ups" to a train
ed newspaper man, that the editor
should investigate it. When a news
paper prints a story that doesn' t
hold together about a matter
with which it is not in touch, and
fails to mention names. dates or
places, or give reasons for not doing
so. the readers may well wonder who

opportunities for knowing wha. l.
