features of the meeting of the officers

Mr.. Kehoe said that while he was

WATER COMPANY TODAY
Action Taken Along Agreed Procerude
In Water Company Flght-MayOr
Russell Also Takes Hand.

County Judge II. p. Purnell today
assessed fine of fifteen dollars and
costs against the Maysvllle Water
Company upon one of the several war
rants which were obtained in County
Court several weeks ago by the State
Board Of Health. This fine was agreed
upon by both the Water Company and
the Health Boards attorneys as a ba-
sis upon which to bring an Injunction
suit taking the case into Circuit Court.
1t was made fifteen dollars so as to
prevent appeal to the higher court
and it is understood that tire next
step in the agreed procedure is the
filing of an injunction suit in Circui.
Court asking that Judge Purnell be
enjoined from further trial Of these
cases. This suit will probably be
brought late today or tomorrow.
Mayor T. NJ. Russell took a hand
in the game yesterday when he asked
for warrant under a city ordinance
against serving impure food or drink
This warrant was held up in Police
Court this afternoon and Dr. Reynolds
City Health Officer, was forced tc
serve a nuisance notice on the Water
Company Immediately. Following the
service of this notice, the city will
proceed along the line of common
nuisance instead of proceeding under
the city ordinance.

AT a meeting Of the Maysville Coun-
Gil knights of Columbus held at the

The cities of Lexington, Paris,
Maysville, Covington, Ludlow, New

league and all Of the details will be
carefully worked out at the meeting
TO be held in Lexington next Sunday.
1t is understood that the members
Of the local council are very enthusi-
astic over the proposed organization
ana they certainly could not have Sc
lected two better delegates to attend
the meeting at Lexington than Messrs.
Shea and Brown. Both men are close
followers Of the game of baseball and
they have both been identif ed with
the active management of local team
and in the management Of the two
baseball leagues of which Maysville
has been a member.
The local council could organize a
very strong team from its membership
and there is no question bu that such
games would be literally patronized

BAD HEALTH IS
WE|LMAN'S REASON
FOR QUITTING GAME
Phenomenal Pitcher Developed on the
Local Bluegrass League Team
TOsses Away Bat and
Glove.

A st. Louis dispatch says: An
nouncement was made Of the decision
OF Pitcher Carl Weiman Of the
Browns to quit baseball. Weilman
notified Business Manager Bob Quinn
Of the local American League team
to that effect The loss Of the lanky
left-hander is a serious one. One Of the
most popular players in the game,
Weilman, when he was right" was a
great southpaw. Recently Carl has
been seriously Ill, and 1t is this 1t is
thought, that made him decide to leave
the game.
In his letter to Bob Quinn, Well
man states that he had thought the
matter over very seriously this win
ter and had come to the conclusion
that, in view of his impaired health,
the work would prove too strenuous
for him. Moreover, Carl believes the
Clluldle ID uOI ouileu W uis Sohui'ioh'
which is, he says, that of man with
one pump" Weilman regrets greatly
that he is forced to make such a de-
cision, as his relations with the
Browns and the fans of st. Louis al
ways have been most happy. He has a
good position in his home town of
Hamilton, Ohio, so he will have no fin
ancial worries.
Weilman started his professional
career with the Richmond, KY. club
in the old Blue Grass League in 1909.
In 1910 he was with Charleston, w.
Va, and in 1911 with Flint in the
South Michigan League. He played in
dependent ball the following year and,
in 1912, pitched for Maysville, KY,
where Scout Charley Barrett picked
him up for Col. Bob Hedges.
1t was in this year that Welman
came to the Browns and has been here
ever since, thus finishing his big
league career with the team which
brought him up from the minors His
best American League year was in
1914, when he won 1S and lost IA. al
lowing an earned run average of but
2.12. He was practically out of COM
mission through sickness in 1917.
Last year he pitched but few games
but showed good form as rule, win
ing his first start against the White
Sox.
Perhaps the retirement of no other
local player would call for more sim
cere regret than that caused by We'll
mans going He is one of the finest
characters in the game and was uni

Each of some 5000 newspapers OF
the United States is publishing from
week to week, names of people in its
particular neighborhood, who have
used and recommended Doan's Kid

kidneys, bladder troubles and urinary

over $4,000 recommendations. Fitz-

of the Fitzgerald cases.

Riding on the engine for thirty
years strained my back and kidneys
and at times my back ached and
panied dreadfully. 1t hurt me to bend
or stoop and my kidneys acted irreg-
ularly. When have had these at
tacks, Doan's Kidney Pills have al

Doan's has never failed to strengthen
my back and put my kidneys in good
