who were laid off dur
ing the lull in business, were re-
quested by foremen to be at the shops
July /. This is the first cleaning
that the report that full force and
working time Is to be resumed is
true. AS next month will be the be-
ginning of a new fiscal year for the
railroad the company will not be so
desirious of cutting expenses to make
a good showing as it is at present

AVOIDING THE IOLTS.

Experience is a good, but expensive
school, and where a lesson can be
learned by taking another's advice
who has been over the same ground, II
is wise to do so, and this is true as
regards individuals or municipalities.
While Paducah is agitated over the
problem of street Improvement and
while a big bond issue is being adj
visable for the city to profit as much
by the expensive experience of other
cities as possible Paducahans who
attend the Chicago convention saw
the new wooden block streets in prac.
teal use, and were delighted with
them In that city, every conceivable
street has ben tried, and their expert
ence. which they dearly paid for,
ought to be available for Paducah.
The wooden blocks are easily re-
paired, are noiseless and easy on
stock. Chicago's heaviest Travelled
are paved with them. Whether
they are suitable for this city or not,
il would not be lost time or money
TO send a commission TO some big
cities to study the problem at first
hand.

Have You Ever Stopped to
Think About Your Health?

Are you as well, strong md vigorous
as you used to be?
Are you sometimes discouraged. and
think you'll never be any better:
Can you tell the cause of your trou-

Do you know that about nine-tenths
of all sickness is caused by kidney
trouble?
Have you ever stopped to think that
your kidneys may be the cause of your
poor health?
Most people do not realize how much
work the kidneys are required to 10

Every drop of blood in the body must
pass through and be filtered by the
kidneys thousands of times a day.

BOARDING HOUSES ALSO
Help in Caring For Those Who
Are Unable to Find Rooms at
the Hotels in the
City.

Hotels of the city are having hard
time in accommodating the many visi-
tors that are in the city this week in
the way of furnishing rooms to those
who were so unfortunate as to arrive
late or had not reserved their rooms in
advance.
The large crowds that are coming
in each day, both by rail and water
are taking what they can get after late
arrival in the city and find choice
rooms taken, though many have taken
the precaution to reserve rooms in adj
vance and are fortunate in securing
their rooms on arrival.
One would most naturally think that
the registers would contain the names
of fair visitors from nearby towns and
though the large percent of the names
are in the nearby locality, there are
dozens of New York, st. Louis, Chi
cago and other large city people taking
in the Keokuk free street fair this
week.

LANDING OF COLUMBUS
October ~ Marks the Date of
That Great Event-Loca coun-
Gil Have no Arrange
ments Made.

Columbus Day. the anniversary of
the landing OF Columbus on the 18th
of October, 1892. will be celebrated
all over the United States by the
many councils of The Knights of
Columbus. The day is becoming one
of the most important ones on the
orders calendar and it is expected
that the day is not far distant when
October II will be national holt
day.
1t was the intention of De La Sale
Council GIG to celebrate in honor of
the occasion but the plan has been
given up. NJ. j. Burke went to Fort
Madison during the centennial to
meet Gov. Cummins and secure him
to speak on the date, but previous
engagement will make it impossible
for him to be present although he
stated that it would give him great
pleasure to make arrangements to
be here
Quincy usually celebrates on that
date and will probably do so this
year, while the Davenport and Du-
buque councils will make the day one
OF pleasantly. Councils from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic will all make an
effort to observe the day in some
fitting manner.

A National HOLIDAY.

That the 18th of October become
national holiday is the desire of the
councils all over the United States.
There is now in the hands of almost
every senator of the land letters from
the councils in their district and when
congress meets in the next annual
session a bill that this date be made
a national holiday is certain to be one
of the many brought before that body
of Representatives of the land
The local knights deem it unfortu
nate that the council will be unable
to properly observe this great day but
it is possible that yet some program
may be arranged for the evening.
