AT the recent meeting of the Paris
City Council, City Engineer A. H.
Boehner. who recently completed an
of the new trunk line

found it in bad condition in several
places, and that it would cost from
$4,000 to $4,000 to make the nee
essary repairs. The sewer had just
been completed by Contractor A. d.
SAINT at a cost of $4,000. Contrac-
tor SAINT put in a counter claim for
$4,000 against the city as an under
estimate of the cost of constructing
the sewer, as excavations had to be
made throug hard bed rock. He
claimed this unforeseen obstacle

tract several months and that he had
lost money on it.

of concrete on Fifth avenue was

DOING THE SAME OLD TRICKS
AGAIN.

Despite the warnings, fines, the
employment of a special motorcycle
COD to report and prevent such
things, the speed demons have been
I'M to their old tricks on the streets
of Paris. Special Motorcycle Police
man Fields has done his work we'll,

speeders that will be hard for them
to overcome, but there still remains
q few Soolhardy ones who think
themselves above the law.
lust a little warning to these!
The law is bound to get you sooner
or later. Be advised in time! When
the authorities get after you there
will be something for you to regret
afterward.
"No man liveth unto himself" but
YOU would think some of them did,
Judging by the noise some OF these
motorists make. There is no more
sense in running along the streets OF
this city with cut-out wide open
than there is in permitting dog to
bark all day long, yet 1t is zone
Choke off the cut-out and let us live
in a less noisy and nerve-racklng en-
yironment. It's only thoughtlessness
on the part of the motorists, but 1T
spells discomfort and annoyance to
others. A word to the wise should
be sufficient-but it will not avail
much with the arrogant, bull-headed
and all-sufhcient wise guy who
thinks he has perfect right to do as
he pleases, city or no city, ordinance
or no ordinance, law or no law.
A check for $3.50 was received by
Mayor E. B. January from Darius
Werlin, of Trinity, KY, who was
placed under arrest by Motorcycle
Policeman Fields on charge of vio-
lating the speed and traffic laws

panied by a letter of apology.

EXECUTORS OF ESTATE FILE
FRIENDLY SUIT.

DIR. C. Bruce Smith, of Millershurg.
and Silas E. Bedford. of Paris, execu-
tors of the estate of the late A. II.
inflicted in Millersburg some time
ago, have filed a friendly suit in the
office of Circuit Clerk w. H. Webb.
asking for an Interpretation of cer4
tain clauses in the deceased's will.
In the petition the executors ask
the Court to interpret a paragraph in
the will, which they say is doubtful
as to its meaning In Mr. Smed-
ley's will, which was admitted to
probate shortly after his death, after
making a number of requests to rela-
tives and friends, there occurred
paragraph reading: Should there be
other money or stocks in my posses
sion at my decease, it shall be di-
vided between my own brothers and
sisters, or their heirs, among whom
are my brother Johns heirs, my sis
ter Kate, and my brother William,
the last two mentioned being at pres
ent living in Chicago"
Mr.. Smedley had the following
brothers of full blood, Joseph Smed-
ley, John G.. Smedley, and William
Smedley, one full sister, Mrs. Kate
Forester, and two half-sisters, Lucy
and Mary Smedley. Since the will
was drawn all. his brothers and half
brothers have died, leaving heirs,
Mrs. Kate Forester, of Chicago, his
sister. surviving. The executors
are in doubt as to whether Mr..
Smedley meant to include in the dis
tribution of the residue of his estate
the children and descendants of his
half-brothers and half-sisters, and for
this reason, ask the Court to pass
upon this particular paragraph.

near Boonesboro. when a machine In

went over a fifteen foot embankment,
and was wrecked The young men,
Roy Jones, Noah Gaunce and Will

Sunday afternoon joyride, but
finding no especially alluring at
fractions there, turned back en- route

the road, and plunged backward
over the steep embankment. Jones

PARIS WOMAN'S QUICK ACTION
SAVES SHIP.

Mr.. and Mrs. Brinch Meinertz, OF
Paris, who have been in Denmark
for a month of more visiting relat-
tives of the former, are expected
home to-day. They arrived at New
York, Sunday, on the steamer, Oscar
II, from Copenhagen, after an une-
ventful voyage.
In connection with their honey
moon trip across the ocean the daily
papers carry an interesting story of
how Mrs. Meinertz, quick eye aud
quick action saved the Oscar II from
destruction. The story as telegraph
ed from New York under date of
Sept. IA, reads as follows:
British science and letters, Amer
lean ingenuity, Russian Anti-Bolshe-
visit fortitude, and feminine quick
wit were we'll represented among the
passengers who arrived here to-day
on board the American line steam
ship Oscar II from Copenhagen. So
filled was the vessels first cabin that
many persons of prominence were
compelled to accept. second-class &C
commodations in order to make the
voyage. Labor troubles, both in
Denmark and later in the port of
Newcastle, England, dragged a vOy-
age that would ordinarily have
taken eleven days into one of nine
teen days. Pleasant weather, how
ever made up for the length of the
journey and the four hundred and
some odd cabin voyagers were in
good humor when they reached Ho-
boken pier this morning.
eff it had not been for the quick
eye of Mrs. Brinch Meinertz, who
befare her marriage, was Miss Co
rhine Elizabeth Collins, of Paris
KY, the Oscar would have struck a
mine on June 10. Mr.. and Mrs.
Meinertz had left New York on
board the Oscar on delayed
honeymoon to the old home of the
husband in Denmark ten days be-
fore. Mr.. Meinertz came to the
United States some years ago and es-
tablished himself in business in
Paris, Kentucky, and was married
there.
1.-The couple were standing directly
under the bridge on the evening of
June 20, when Mrs. MeinertZ saw
something peculiar glistening on the
moonlit sea. She called her hus-
bands attention to it and then,
mindful of the stories of floating
mines that she had heard spoken of
on board the night before, she i'm
mediately called the officer on the
navigation bridge to the glistening
object.
There was an almost instantane-
Gus sounding of gongs in the engine
room and the bridge near the. sixpa3
levers and the big Scandinavian
American steamship seemed to lay
over almost on her side as she swung
out of her course.
THE glistening object was seen to
drift by within fewer than a dozen
feet to spare between it and the side
Of the steamship, and Captain
Schmidt afterwards told Mrs. Mem
ertz that they had narrowly escaped
striking mine. Twenty-four hours
later they encountered another mime
and five subsequent mines of de-
struction were met with before the
Oscar II reached Copenhagen"

ACTION OF THE BOARD OF CON-
troll OF THE w. w. MASSIE
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.

We, the members of the w. w.
Massie Memorial Hospital Board and
associates, realizing the impression
being made by the investigation of
the Hospital, which is now in pro-
gress, feel that it is due the public
and those in management of the Hos
pital, that the following statements
be made:
First-The board of Control, hav-
| ing been in close touch with the
management of the Hospital from it's
beginning, has endeavored to conduct
the Hospital, handicapped as it has
been for funds, so as to best meet
the requirements of the patient ad-
mitted and the need of the city and
county.
Second-All complaints, when
properly presented to the Board, have
been given fair and just considera-
ton.
Third-In Miss Boehm, who has
been our Superintendent since it's be-
ginning, the Massie Memorial Hos
pital has been extremely fortunate.
While she has had the unqualified
support of the Board of Control, it is
to her Untiring efforts, her high
standards of Hospital efficiency and
morality, that the Massie Memorial
Hospital is conceded by those famil-
lar with such institutions to be one
of the best equipped and best con-
Quoted Hospitals in the State.
Fourth-The members of the
Board of Control can not too heartily
commend and approve the high
standard of efficiency of the present
administration and assure the public
that in the future the Hospital will
be conducted on the same plane as
heretofore
