In Memory of W. E. Adams.


Mr.. Editor; ! have recently learned
of THE great loss which the church,
the comuunity aRd society in Pike
County sustained in the death, last
autumn, of Mr.. W. e. Adams, Of
Dingman's Ferry. To many, indeed,
in that county, and elsewhere, the
loss Of one 20 able and RmiAbls, 90
worthy and useful, will be SSlt as .
personal loss. There are not very
many mon - worthy a. he; and Of
those who are, there are few who
are ~ thoroughly loVnble. And
among those who are both worthy
and loVable, how few are found, who
equal Mr.. Adams in that which was,
perhaps. his most individual dis
tinction-the power Of radiating
from his oountsnAnSe, his speech.
his manner, his very presence, q
sustained, and genial, and all.oom.

effort, and Almoet unoOnsciously.
May his memory and his example
long be cherished and may the Di'

Weigh Yourself Before
Using.

Weigh yourself before commencing
to use Samose, the great flesh-form'
ing food. The wonderful sale on this
preparation since first introduced in
Cairo and the remarkable results fol
lowing its use have made Paul G..
Schuh and Sons such an enthusiastic
believer in the great value af Samose
that they give their personal guaran
tee to refund the money If Samose
will not make thin people fat and re
store health AMI strength to those
who use it,
This is a strong guarantee, but they
have seen SO many of their customers
who a few weeks ago looked like
walking skeletons become plump and
we'll through the use OF Samose they
feel they cannot say too much to in
duce people to try it.
This marvellous fleshforming food
is assimilated as soon as it is taken
into the stomach, makes good rich
blood, tones up the weakened system
helps to assmilate the food and makes
the user plump, well and rosy.

ON A JUNKE1
LEFT ON EXCURSION TRAINS OF
ILLINOIS CENTRAL, MOBILE
& OHIO AND BIG FOUR FOR
NORTHERN RESORTS.

A thousand people left Cairo last
night on TWO excursion trains, on the
Illinois Central for Chicago and on
the Mobile & Ohio for st. Louis The
former train left at 7;45 last night
and comprised fifteen sleepers and
coaches and one baggage car For
this train 426 tickets were sold at
Central Union station to people OF
this city and neighboring cites aud
towns in Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee. The Mobile K Ohio left
at 2:17 yesterday morning, and was
even greater. $50 passengers going
on it. One monstrous engine pulled
each, of these great trains with ap-
parent ease. With the Big Four ex-
.cursion to Niagara Falls, and the
many who had gone for the summer
on regular trains, it is believed that
fully two thousand of Cairos popula.
tor is out of town Oh a junket for
pleasure.
Paducah also sent fourteen coaches
crowded to the steps to Chicago
yesterday morning. They went via
Carbondale.

AT PADUCAH.

Paducah, Aug. IA party of civil
engineers of the Burlington staff were
in Paducah today busy at work south
of the Union station. The engineers
were out bright and early this morn
ing with their instruments, but when
approached refused to make any state
ment relative to their work. The en-
gineers walked south on the Nashville
Chattanooga and st. Louis railroad
tracks. about a mile, 1t is said that
the purpose of the visit is to make ar
rangements for yard space.
Much speculation is being INDUCED
in as to what way Paducah will be
reached by the Burlington. Pending
the construction of the bridge. the
road will use a transfer boat to make
the northern connections The officials
are said to be dickering with the I'LL
nois Central railroad for the use of
its tracks from Heath to Paducah.
Should this arrangement not be made
it is probable that the right of way of
the Paducah Northern railroad would
be used

Bridge Across Ohio River-How to
Reach Paducah Is Problem.

A little item in the railroad news in
yesterdays papers is likely to have
very much greater significance than
would appear from its size and preten
sions. 1t read as follows:
THE Mobile. Jackson and Kansas
City line is advertised to be sold un
der foreclosure at Mobile on August
| %, as ordred by the United States Dis
trct Court at Meridian. Miss. When
bid in, the road will be turned over
to the successor company the New Or
leans. Mobile and Chicago"
This is the railroad which has been
referred to repeatedly in The Bulletin
as the probable southern end of the
Burlington, which will cross the river
at Metropolis, and there is strong rea
son to believe that the new owners OF
the NJ, j. & X G. are closely allied &c
the Burlington system.
WORK BEING PUSHED.
Metropolis, H.. Aug. 1.-THE Bur
lington railroad will be operating
trains into Metropolis in the next
seven months. Active construction Of
the roadbed will begin, in all prob
liability some time this week, as the
contract for the work was let last Sat
urday to Contractor Carter of Chicago
Resident Engineer Oliphant said today
that he had advice from sub-con
tractor who stated he would be in
Metropolis this week to begin the
work. The amount of the contract
was not made known. 1t was awarded
from the office in Chicago The rail
road will be 81 miles in length, the
distance from Herrin to Metropolis
rhe contract reads that the work must
be completed in six months.
Work on Bridge.
Boring through the rock bed of the
Ohio river for the bridge will begin
next week. This week barge equipped
with the machinery is being prepared
for the work. The contract has not
been advertised, as a definite location
| for the bridge has not been settled
1t will either be located COO yards ol
400 yards down the river from the
landing place of the steamer Cowling
| it is said.
when ready to construct the bridge
the contract for the piers will be
placed separat ly, and the steel work
will go to one of the largest bridge
concerns in the country The cost OF
the bridge is problematical, but it Is
certain to be constructed, and the
| fact that the work of construction will
be begun so soon will be pleasant
news.

How 10 Gain Healthy Flesh.
Paul G. Schuh & Son Advise Thin
Folks to Use Samose.

While thinness may not be a dis
ease. yet ii is in reality a condition
that needs attention. Under the nour-
ishiug power of Samose healthy nat
ural flesh will soon be attained
This remarkable flesh-forming food
strengthens the system generally and
builds up the flesh tissues so that
good, natural plumpness results.
An ounce of flesh is better than a
pound of theory. Paul G. Schuh &
Sons believe that the best possible
demonstration of the flesh-formine
powers of Samose is to have it tried
by their customers, and to induce
them to use it, they offer 10 pay for
the Samose IN case 1t does not give
satisfaction. No stronger proof than
this can be given of their faith in it
They have seen hundreds who were
weak, thin and scrawny, become
