The Retail Merchants association

Palmer House this forenoon and for

system. and arranged for it, lntroduc-
ton as the permanent policy of this
city. The banking rebate system pays
% per cent of all round trip railway
and steamboat fares, every day in
the year. at an average cost of less
than one per cent on wholesale trans
actions and slightly more than two
per cent on retail purchases. The
system refunds the fares of out-of-
town shoppers from any point on
earth II the purchases are sufficient.
and pays at least a part OF the fare OF
all visiting customers. The banking
system operates In 172 American and
Canadian cities and has never failed
in any organization formed since the
plan was first devised. But one din
Guilty can prevent It's being a great
success in Paducah, and that could
result from the merchants, whose
cooperation Is necessary, refusing to
pull together. A careful analysis OF

HOW TO CURE SKIN DISEASES.

Eczema, pimples, dandrun and
itching skin diseases are OF local
origin and are caused by germs. In
|order to cure, these diseases the
germs and their poisons must be
driven to the surface of the skin and
destroyed. Salves and greasy lotions
may. give temporary relief, but they
do not destroy the germs that cause
the disease. "A st. Louis chemist has
discovered a clean vegetable liquid
remedy that will draw the germs and
their poisons to the surface of the
skin and destroy them, leaving a nice,
clear, healthy skin. This remedy is
known as Zcmo, and by its many re-
markable cures has attracted the at
tention of the leading scientists and
skin specialists of this country and
Europe.
Zcmo has been given the most cor
dial reception by the public of any
similar remedy ever produced, and Il
lis recognized as an honest medicine
that makes honest cures.
Zcmo is for sale everywhere. You
can obtain a trial package free by
writing to the +. w. ROSE MEDI-
CINE CO., st. Louis. Missouri.
Mr.. w. ]. Gilbert has secured the
agency for Zemo in Paducah and will
gladly show you proof of some Of the
wonderful cures made by this re-
'markable remedy.

Louisville, May 2G-Business in
leaf tobacco on the local auction
breaks is at a low ebb and not much
improvement in the hurley division
is looked for any way soon, for
stocks are small, with an unusually
small supply in the country to draw
from. Offerings for the week aggre-
gated only $40 hogsheads. Private
sales were reported to the amount Of
1,159 hogsheads, of which 535 were
old Burley, sampled for the Society Of
Equity, and $40 were dark, sampled
for and belonging to the Italian
Reggie. The weeks weather was
favorable to planting and reports in
dicated~>that about one-half of the
dark have been set.
New Burley was offered to the ex-
tent of only 1S6 hogsheads.
New dark offerings totaled 260
hogsheads. There was little other
than nondescript or air-cured tobacco
On the whole the condition was very
unsatisfactory. Manufacturing leaf
and fired or export leaf in sound con-
dition were in good demand at firm
prices. Rehandling grades and all
out-of-condition tobaccos were slow
sellers and prices were irregular,
with a sagging tendency. Lugs were
easier, while olS dark leaf and Jugs
were irregular.
Although auction sales were held
on every regular sales day this week.
only GEO hogsheads were offered, but
private sales were fairly large, aggre-
eating 1,159 hogsheads, and made
the total of all 1,779 hogsheads,
against 2,052 in the corresponding
week of last year, 1896 in 1906, and
2,474 in 1905. OF the 1,779 hogs
heads 1SS were new Burley, 579 old
Burley, SAC new dark and 10 old
dark. From January l to date sales
totaled 1852 hogsheads, compared
VIII 66,371 last year, S2,94S in
1906, and 6S,294 in 1905. Rejec-
tons this week were heavy, being

against IL per cent in the same week
of last year, and Is in 1906. Re
ceipts were 909 hogsheads, against

OF WIDESPREAD EFFECT,
Threatened Strike of Granite and
Marble Employees.

New York, Feb. 19.-Wholesale
monument dealers in this city who
have been watching the situation pre-
dict general strike of the cutters
and allied unions against the quarry
men beginning March 1, which will
extend throughout the New England
marble and granite district and affect
the trade. all over the country. The
differences between the quarry own
ers and their employees, the whole
salers say, includes, in addition to a
dispute over wages, which the men
want increased, demand for the con-
tinuation of the Saturday half holiday
throughout the year. A general strike,
it is stated, would practically stop the
sale of New England marble and
granite for tombstones. Middlemen
do not carry surplus stock and the
retailer buys as he sells, while the
quarrymen at present have only a
small supply on hand. The quarries
are well unioniZed and strike. would
be likely, it is stated, to tie up the
whole industry in the section.

MIR. Straus did not offer any explana-

AS to the immigration to the United
States from other countries Mr.. Straus
said the total for January was in
round figures 200, as compared with

crease Of 50 per cent. Mr.. Straus

ton fer the same period was 100000.
The figures on emigration for Novem.
Der, December, January and February,

TO immigration, there having been
large outgo of foreigners in Noven-
Der and December.
When Secretary Straus was asked
as to whether he drew any conclusion
from the figures he said:

Immigration and emigration are much
like affairs in the business world.
They adjust themselves to conditions.
There is no fixity in arrivals and de-

TRANSMITTED TO CONGRESS
Report of Commission on Grades and
Salaries. :.

Washington, Feb. 19.-President
Roosevelt has transmitted to congress
the report of the commission on
grades and salaries which was organ
lied June II, 1907, to prepare clear
and consistent tables of estimates for
positions and salaries in the execu-
tive departments and establishments.
In its report the commission says
that two general rules have been OBJ
served, namely, to give more ade-
quate compensation to the men who
furnish directive power, executive
ability and special or technical knowl-
edge and to provide for the admins
trative and clerical force scale of
pay which will permit all who enter
the civil service to rise by diligence
and efficiency to moderate living
salary in reasonable time. The
commissions estimates for this pur-
pose for the various departments and
other government Offices aggregate
$19,S12,950, which is an increase of
~ per cent over the official estimates
for the fiscal year 1909 and 1916 per
cent over the appropriation for 1908
for the departments as a whole.

AGAIN PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Charles w. Morse Arraigned on Per-
jury Indictment.


New York, Feb. 19.-Charles w.
Morse, the former banker and steam
ship company promoter, who had been
indicted on a charge of perjury, en-
tered a plea of not guilty to the
charge and was released on $4,000
bail. The perjury Indictment grew
out Of loan of 100000 to E. R.
Thomas, concerning which Mr.. Morse
was called before the grand jury as
witness.
1t is charged that Thomas caused a
deposit of $4,000 of the funds of the
Provident Savings Life Assurance So
ciety of New York to be made with
the National Bank of North America,
of which Morse was vice president,
and that Morse then authorized the
bank to loan Mr.. Thomas 100000
Mr.. Morse is alleged to have at first
testified before the grand jury that
he did not authorize the loan and
then admitted that he did so. -

! charge. He said:
Other persons have been arraigned
in this court on the same count and
released under bail as low as $4,000.
Mr.. Morse is under $4,000 bonds al
