OUT ON BOND
Henry Peter Executes $1,000 Bail
and is Released.
Frank Eioh is Still Alive. and nc
Worse Than Yesterday.

Henry Peter, the young man charg.
ed with maliciously shooting Frank
Eich, on the South side Monday, was
released at O'Clock yesterday after
noon on bond, the amount being
81, 900.
Il is claimed by PETERS friends
that he will be cleared of the charge,
as it was done in self defense. 1t was
at first stated that there was only one
man in the place at the time the
shooting was done, and that was Mr..
Kenney Murray, the bartender, and
also one negro, Chink Dollar, who was
fast asleep and did not know Of the
fight until he heard the pistol shot,
which awakened him. It is now
claimed that there were others.
Eich is still resting easy, but today
had some fever. He may recover, but
as yet little hope is entertained.

Thu HACK MUDDLE.
Supt. Daley lntimates That the
Railroad viii Stand off.
Council Has Referred the Question to
His Company for Settlement.

Superintendent J. u. Daley, Of the
Louisville division of the Illinois Cen.
trial, was in the city today, and was
asked by reporter about the hack
controversy. He said that he failed
to see where the matter could be ad-
justed by the railroad company,
which has simply leased some Of its
ground at the passenger depot to the
Palmer Transfer Company. The lat
'ter.a he said, would have to protect its
rights under the lease.
This would indicate that the Illinois
Central will not comply with the
councils request to settle 1t. AS is
doubtless remembered, the railroad
company some time ago set aside q
part Of the ground adjacent to the
platform for the exclusive use of tho
Palmer Company, and the other hack
men attempted to occupy the reserya-
ton Notwithstanding, with the result
that one or two cases got into the po-
lice court, and the question was fin
ally referred to Circuit Judge Hus.
bands, who decided that he didn Z
have anything to do with 1t. and
the question would have to be settled
by due process Of law in = court Of
equity. Since then nothing had been
done until the council at its last meet
ing appointed the railroad, telegraph
aud telephone committee TO confer
with Superintendent Daley in behalf
of the other hackmen.

Wonder if the proud and progressive

Wonder II the proud and progressive
gentlemen who oompose Paduoah's
legislative bodies ever stop to think
what the impression must be on the
outside world to see that Paducsh, a
city of over 90. 600 inhabitants, whose
business increases every week, and
whose manufactures are the proud
boast of the entire state. has to take
a vote on whether or not the cows
shall be kept of the streets? Do
strangers think we are city Of farm
ers, who value the welfare of the COW
contingent more than we do the
beauty, health and convenience of the
people? How must other cities regard
us, when in many states cows are not
even allowed to run at large in the
country? Is there anything in such an
attitude to act as an inducement to
the men Of other places, who are not
used to living id barn yard, to come
here and invest their money and bring
their families? Are we ever to get a
body Of public lawmakers who can see
farther than their own back doors ?
And how do they suppose it looks to
people from mp to date cities to come
here and learn that Paducah has had
sanitary sewerage for four or FIVE
years, and no one is compelled to use
it? That man can turn the filth
from his home either into the sewers
or the gutter, whichever he prefers /?
And it is a serious question il the
same spirit that inspires some of our
worthy citizens to want the COW to or
nament the streets, does not prompt
them also to turn the sewage into tn e
cutters. the yards, or the alleys and
return to primitive conditions. The
old time religion may be good enough,
but let's not extend the principle to
sanitation and municipal government.

STORY IN f1AYFIELD
CHIMNEYS BLOWN OFF THE
COURT HOUSE THERE LAST
NIGHT.

There was quite severe storm at
Msyfield last night, but the damage
done was confined to the demolition
Of few ohimneys, trees, and fences.
There was also considerable hail.
The fact that a chimney or two
blew off the court house was all the
foundation there was for the report
out today that the court house there
was blown down.

UNIQUE ATTACHMENT
DAIRYMAN CLAIMS HE SHOULD
HAVE MADE THIS SALE.

A remarkable attachment suit was
yesterday afternoon filed in Justice
Young's court by NJ. B. Peary, the
dairyman, against the shipman. Bradt
Co., of Dekalb, Ill.
Pesry has been the agent for that
company here, the company dealing
in the manufacture and sale of milk
wagons, and Mr.. W. Y. Griffith the
dairymsn, recently purchased . wag-
on from that company, directly from
the factory. Mr.. Peary being the
agent wanted the wagon sold through
him and when it arrived filed an at
tachment suit against the company,
attaching the wagon. The attachment
was released this morning, Mr.. Griffith
giving bond. Peary seeks to receive
through the courts the commission he
would have gotten had he sold the
wagon.

HOSE DEALS.

The city Of Paducah, through the
fire committee of the general council,
made a contract with a New York
company about three months ago for
$500 feet of rubber hose, at cost of
$2,625. The city was badly in need
of hose at that time, and the fact that
almost that much had always been
paid for hose of that quality, and the
hose was guaranteed for five years to
stand a pressure Of four hundred
pounds, induced the committee to be-
lieve that it was getting good bar
gain. Mayor Yeiser heard that the
same hose company had offered hose,
presumed to be the same hose, to
Cairo at SO cents, and straightway
began an investigation. He went on
the presumption that no company
charges more for anything than it is
worth, something that every good
business man knows is not the case.
After a public inquiry, the COM
mittee Of the council was wheedled
or intihidsted into countermanding
the order, which left the city with
out hose, and totally at sea. II the
city had proceeded as ID started out,
It would weeks ago have had what
hose it needed, and hose guaranteed
TO last five years, at total cost to
the taxpayers Of s2,625.
As a result of the Cuisines meth
DDS" Of the men the people have
placed in Office, the city after three
months delay now has 1, 900 feet of
hose that cost 81 cents foot, or $50,
guaranteed for four years to stand a
pound pressure; would have had
had Il been delivered 1000 feet Of
the same company's hose that had prev
iously been rejected, at SO cents foot,
guaranteed for three years to stand a
pressure OF 100 pounds, total cost of
$500, and 4. 900 feet of cotton hose, at
40 cents foot, total of 81 800, max
ing the total outlay cost the tax
payers s3, 800, instead of s2,625, and
giving them but 1900 feet more hose,
as only half of the cotton hose can be
used after it once gets wet, while the
other half is drying.
The fact that the LOCO feet Of An
Choir brand hose at SO cents foot was
not bought is no fault Of the city, but
is due to the fact that the company
would not furnish it on the conditions
stipulated.

1t seems that the overseer of the
chaingang is required to work on Sun
day and the driver of the patrol
wagon is not. This is not right and
the council should rectify it. The
overseer, by being required to drive
the patrol wagon several Sundays ago
after a hard weeks work, when he
should have been allowed to go home
and rest up, was thrown out and hurt,
and it cost the taxpayers extra for
all the time he lost.

Some of these days the general
council is going to be unpleasant tly
reminded Of the illegality of many
of its acts, by some sort of a law
suit. Two or three officers are now
holding Office illegally, and now the
council is going to create the position
of assistant city clerk and spend lille
gally $500 more of the money raised
by a s1.85 tax rate. If the city clerk
does not feel that he can perform the
work for the salary, let him resign,
and see how many others are willing
to take the job. 1t would save the
city money and give him plenty Of
