.BLKS DONATE
CAR OF COAL
FOR CHARITY
Liberal Donation is Made by
Fraternal Order at Most
Opportune Time.
Charity Club Has Distributed
5000 Bushels This Winter.
DEMAND EXCEEDS LAST SEASON

A donation of 1 900 bushels of coal
has been made to the charity club for
distribution among the poor of the
city by the Paducab lodge of Elks.
Exalted Ruler J. T. Donovan notify
ing Secretary Jap Toner this morning
that the coal was at the disposal of
the club.
Mr.. Toner stated this morning that
the gift came at a most opportune
time as the supply of fuel now on
hand would be exhausted before next
week is gone and the time for real
winter is now at hand.
Since the first of September the
club has given out nearly $1,000 bush
els of coal. One carload of LOO
bushels was presented to the club by
the Illinois Central Railway company
through the kindly Offices of J. T.
Donovan. The annual gift to the city
which for years has been made by
Bernheim Bros. of Louisville, this
year amounted to / 300 bushels,
most of which has already been dis
tributed. Aside from these two large
gifts the Charity club has purchased
nearly 700 bushels from local dealers,
making the aggregate nearly 5000
bushels. which is nearly as much as
was given out during the entire win
ter season last year.
The Charity club also desires to ac-
knowledge gifts of clothing from the
following named iadies: Mrs. e. c.
Adams, 1919 Harrison street; Mrs.
Kenney. 423 Adams street; Mrs. Bur-
nett. corner Twentieth and Broad
way: Mrs. Frank Smith, sos North
Fourth street; Mrs. Reed, sos South
Fourth street; Mrs. s. Folz, North
Fourth street.
A check has been received by the
club from +. p. Toof, superintendent
of the Cohankus Manufacturing com
pany. for s25 this week. and the sum
will come in handy for the expenses.

Negroes Had Been Warned.

Mr.. A. O. Russell, manager of the
Handy hotel at Dawson, while in the
city today called at the Sun Office to
inquire of the trouble at Dawson and
said that a few weeks ago the hotel
|proprietors had been notified that they
must discharge their negro employees.
but that the warning had been
ignored and from the reports circu-
lated early this morning Mr.. Russell
thought perhaps the threats against
the negroes had been carried out.
Mr. Russell said that the threats
were not made by night riders but
by an element OF irresponsible white
people in Dawson. The hotel en-
ployes are all quiet and industrious
and many of them have been with
their employers for years. Mr.. Rus
sell said that the parties making tho
threats are known and many of them
have become alarmed themselves and
left the country.

Thwarted in Effort to Win
SenatOrship Will Combine
For State Wide Prohibition.

Frankfort. Jan. 25.-(Special. y
Kentucky will have Beckham or state
prohibition. This is the latest tip. and
seemingly straight one, too. Beck
ham has finally come to the conclu-
sion that the Jig is up, as far as the
|senatorship is concerned for him, and
now he Is busy seeking to avenge
himself on the men responsible for
the denial OF his greatest ambition.
In the past few days efforts have
been made by Democrat and Republi-
cans to get the Democrats to drop
Beclcham and form coalition with
the Republicans to send Wheeler
Campbell TO the senate, and for a few
brief moments Campbell INDUCED In
the dream, but 1t was quickly dissi-
pated when overtures were made TO
the Republicans. The reply was: I'll
we are to have any Democrat, let II
be Beckham."
Beckham has made advances to the
Republicans, too. but his efforts have
not been successful. He proposes now
to line his friends up for state unit
Il bill and has secured the pledges on
enough Republicans to its support \tc

BECKHAM OR STATE PROHIBITION
Is STRAIGHT TIP FROM FRANKFORT

Judge Holt has assisted In drawing
the bill and II will be presented in a
few days-probably today.
The state unit bill means that the
entire state will vote on the prohibit
ton question and from present indl-
cations II will come near carrying.
This would mean, of course, prohibit
ton In Louisville and a jolt to the
Louisville interests who have waged
such bitter warfare on Beckham.
The prohibition people are enthu-
siastic over the prospects. For some
time they have been expecting just
such a turn of affairs, and from indi-
cations 1t seems Kentucky will follow
in the footsteps Of the other southern
states and soon be dry from border
to border.

Report of Meat and Milk In:
spectOr Shows City's Milk
Supply Pure.
Pure Food Commissioner Says
Market Best in State.
SUGGESTS CATTLE INSPECTOR

Much better conditions exist IN the
diaries that furnish milk to the city
than last year, due to the efforts put
forth by DR.. Ed p. Farley. milk,
meat and livestock inspector. as
shown by his annual report which was
completed today. DIR. Farley has been
a careful officer and Mr.. r.. NJ. Allen,
chief Of the pure food division of the
state experiment station, has paid DR..
Farley many compliments. and says
Paducah has one OF the finest mar
kets in the state. What DIR. Farley
has accomplished has come through
his own efforts
In his report DR.. Farley calls the
attention of the board to the danger
of tuberculosis in the cattle that. is
offered for sale and from which the
milk Is supplied. Alderman Stewart
realized the danger last summer and
brought the matter before the boards.
but 1t died in the hands of some COM
mittee. No legislation has been passed
by the city for the controlling of the
white plague which is being fought
in the cities SO bitterly, and for the
suppression of the disease. DR.. Far
ley inspects all live stock as far as
possible, but the duties of the ONCE
are so many that much of the live
cattle Is slaughtered uninspected. All
the meat that Is offered for sale is in
spected every morning on the market
by DR.. Farley, but the tuberculosis
test can not be used to much benefit
on the meat, and the boards atten-
ton is called to this necessity of in
specting live stock.
Diaries have been made sanitary,
and the improvement along this line
is much marked Improvement. The
dealers seem to realize the necessity
of cleanliness and obey the orders Of
DR.. Farley with willingness. or the
tests of milk there is only one deale<
with his milk at the minimum, which
is per cent. One dairy has a per
cent of in fats, and is the highest
reached, but the majority of the deak
ers are over per cent.
Attention is called to the board of
the unsanitary condition of the cold
storage house, and the need OF mod
ern place is emphasized. Especially
is the floor Of the building in poor
condition.
The market house is in good con-
dition and a decrease in the amount
of meat that DR.. Farley had to refuse
the dealers the privilege OF selling.
The dealers have realized the strict
ness of the office, and little unfit meat
is placed for inspection knowingly.

DIES In PITTSBURG

News was received yesterday by
Misses Ella and Annie Larkin, 400
South Sixth street, OF the death of
their cousin, Mr.. John B. Larkin, city
controller of Pittsburg. Mr.. Larkin's
death was sudden and much grief
was caused among the officers in
Pittsburg, as he was one of the most
popular officials. He was twice elect
ed city controller and in few months
would have been certain for re-elec-
ton. He was the only Democrat
officeholder in Pittsburg. Under
Cleveland's reign Mr.. Larkin was
postmaster of Pittsburg. He was a
man much interested in charity and
kept a home for orphans. He was a
staunch member of the Catholic
church.

The recommendation of the finance
committee of the general council
shows a saving OF $4,000 has been
made IN the appointments for the
different departments of the city for
the year, the reduction being made in
the anticipation that the amount of
revenues collected this year will show
but a slight decrease over last years
assessment while an indebtedness of
100000 handed TO the present ad-
ministration by IT'S predecessor must
be met and reduced.
Through an agreement effected
with the management of the water
company a reduction of $40 per year
on $50 fire plugs will be made. while
the appropriation for streets gets re-
duction Of from 1913 900 TO $40, 900.
which is considered sufficient TO keep
the streets in good condition this
year as the amount appropriated for
that department last year was suffi-
cient to enable the department to put
the streets in good condition, though
an Appropriation OF $4,000 was asked
for.
Acting upon the advice of the city
solicitor the finance committee did
not recommend that an extra assess
ment Of 10 cents on the 500 be
levied for the schools and the appro-
priation of $50 ,000 asked for was cut
to $4,000, the amount allowed last
year.
The park appropriation also suffers
a reduction OF from 5000 to $4,000
and the only funds that were in
creased to any great extent were the
hospital and cemetery, which were
given an additional sum for urgent
improvements.
The administration expects to be
able to take care OF half of the $4O,-
600 Indebtedness inherited from the
old administration without an in
crease In the tax rate and 20 do this
they must make out with a total
amount OF 100000 less than was ex-
pended In 1907.
