EASTERN oPTIMIST GIVES
 CHEERING VIEWS.
(From Fridav,s pailvl

(trOm Fridays Daily)
 E. C. Gallagher, president of the
 East Side Gold Mining Company,
 who is here with view to aseer-
 taining the advisability of resuming
 work on that property, which has
 been idle for the past four years,
 brings word that business has so
 improved in his state, New Jersey,
 that the people there are already be-
 ginning to forget that there was a
 panic, says the Bisbee Miner.
 "From what I can learn of your
 local conditions," said Gallagher, "your section was, it is true, one of
 6e last to feel the effects of the
 panic, but it is also one of the last
 to feel the effects of the panic, but
 it is also one of the last to show
 any signs of recovering from it.
 This, I presume, is because of the
 continued low price of your princi
 pal output, copper. In New York, however, there is no doubt in fnan- eial circles of the copper merger gO- ing through and that means a de- cided and permanent increase in the price of copper.
 "There is no comparison in the way business in the east is humming now, and the way it was failing to hum a year ago." said the seeker. "In every branch of industry there is renewed confidence. Merchants who have been struggling along for months trying to pay on notes at the banks, are finding that they are able to do so. Manufacturers are again running on full time, whole salers are smiling over the demands for their products, and the laboring | man is no longer fearing that he will face a trying winter with no job and an empty pocket. Optimism prevails all along the line, and with in a very few months I expect to see a condition of prosperity akin to that of two years ago."
 Gallagher will be here several days.
 Operations may be resumed at an early date upon the East Side prop erty, six miles east of here, which has been idle for the past four years. Three of the leading stock soldiers, including the president of the company, are here for the pur- pose of looking over the situation. They are E. c. Gallagher and I. W. Holeombe of Trenton, N. J., and Dr. W. Kassab of Chester, Pa. Ga.- Iagher is president of the company. The gentlemen mentioned expected to visit the property today.
 The East Side property is a good ,ne. It is situated on the opposite side of the mountain from the Easter Several thousand dollars have been spent in development work. and at one time a few ship nents were made to the Fl PasO ;melters. These, however, for some reason. were discontinued, and for he past four years the property has been idle. c. c. Mccoy, well known lere, was for a long time identified with the mine.
 MT. Gallagher, in speaking of the visit of himself and the others inter 'sted in the property, stated that should the company desire to resume operations, they would not be handi- capped by lack of funds. He also the information that he vas satisfied that the company had | mine, and indicated that there vas little doubt but that operations would be resumed at an early date. l

PBLLAGRA PANIC
SEXES ALABAMA AND HUNDRED
CASES ARE REPORTED.

Montgomery. Ala, Aug. 24.-With
five deaths from pellagra In Butler
county. three others dying and five
other cases under observation, there
is almost panic in that section.
The state department OF health has
been importuned to send help. but
cannot now as DR.. Il. NJ. Mason, the
only expert of this kind in the serv-
ice of the state. is investigating in
Clark county, where more than one
hundred cases are reported. II is
understood that every effort will be
made to get a man to Butler at once,
as something must be done to ease
the minds OF the people there. The
health department is up in the air.
Nothing can be done either to
suppress or control IL. II is not
thought that the disease is contagi-
Gus, and for this reason there has
been delay in getting medical experts
to take in hand the epidemics.
County health officers in these and
other counties have been instructed
to isolate all cases and watch them
with a view TO determining whether
or not they are infectious.
Reports say that the victims pass
away in great agony. The pain being
like pouring boiling water on wounds
already scalded.

That Road to Provide Entrance

Work of surveying for the Burl-
ington entrance into Paducab is pro-
crossing as rapidly as such WORK
can. The surveyors are going over
different routes into the city. and
will be at ii for some time. II has
not yet been announced whether the
company will come in over the Pa
ducah-Northern survey or not. Mil
ton II. Smith, president of the l., &
~. as announced in The Sun a few

covered only a belt line around the
city and did not provide for any ter
minals. IL is to make a study of
the condition and locate terminals
that the principal work is being
done now. In this connection 1t is
not generally known. but IL is fact
that the surveyors working here are
l.. & N. employees and not Burlington
men. but this is explained by the
statement that the l.. a N. or rather
its connection here. the N. c. & st.

Factory Employing Tue Hundred
SEAL AGENTS REPORT FAR
OVERDUE; OFFICIALS ANXIOUS

Washington. Aug 24.-The Off.
cials OF the department OF commerce
and labor feel considerable concern
over the non-receipt of a report Of
Agent w. /. Lembkey giving the mum
Der of seals taken on Pribiloq Islands
by the North American Commercial
company which leases the sealing
rights for the government.
The report should have been re-
ceived by August 10th, but nothing
has been heard from Lembkey.
The fact that there were known to
be a number Of japanese pelagic
sealing expeditions in the vicinity of
the islands is the chief cause for the
alarm exhibited.
II nothing is heard from Lembkey
this week. It is likely word will be
dispatched to revenue cutter to in
vestigate the cause.

will Expend $4,000 on the
Building and Pay Roll Will
Approximate Same Sum.
A. Jarvis Also Gets a Plant.

Every day is noticeable with the
return OF prosperity's wave and In
Paducah business is being stimulated
to a degree that will bring about
normal and better condition before
long.
AS an evidence to this two new
industries that win start a boom in
business circles are to shortly be
launched here. A deal Is now on
foot wherein John II. Hodge & Co.
prominent tobacco rehandlers OF
Henderson win purchase from Will
liam HALEY and others property al
the northwest corner of Ninth and
Harrison streets and erect a modern
two-story brick tobacco rehandling
house that will employ scores of both
white and colored men and set a
large amount of money in weekly
circulation.
Mr.. Hodge recently proposed to
buy over the old Riglesberger mill
property on South Third street for
his tobacco house, but in the last
few weeks decided to purchase the
property at Ninth and Harrison
streets as II will be a more suitable
place for the factory's operation, be-
ing in immediate connection with the
Illinois Central railroad. The amount
of ground to be taken over in the
deal will be 319 feet facing on Har-
rison street and the deed in being
drawn up and will be filed in a few
days with the county court clerk.
The factory will be of brick and its
dimensions will be 250x160 feet. The
new industry will give employment
to probably two hundred men and
1t is figured that the expenditures
will amount to approximately $780,
900 with an equal amount distrib-
Iuted in the city semi-annually. Steps
are being taken at once for the con-
tract, which will be given to Paducah
contractors. The work of construc-
ton VIII probably take two months
and the company will Immediately
begin business.
A Jarvis Gets Rigglesberger Plant.
The old Rigglesberger mill proper
ty has been leased by Mr.. A. Jarvis,
another well known tobacco dealer
of Henderson. and work will be be-
gun to get the buildings in shape for
the operation of stemming factory.
This enterprise will afford employ
ment to many men and the payroll
will be large.
Both firms expect to do an extern
sive business and much tobacco will
come in to the city and be shipped
to foreign governments. To the bus
iness interests of Paducah this means
much and the new industries are
hailed with delight.
