USED SWITCH KEY
ATT ORNEY YoNTS PAINFULLY
HURT BY MOTORMAN
VENTERS.

Attorney Morton K. Yonts Of the
West End, had difficulty with No
torman Alex venters last night on q
West Broadway car, in which he was
struck on the forehead with q switch
key and painfully but not seriously
injured. He lives opposite the new
fair grounds near the switch.
1t appears the trouble occurred over
q motorman's failing to stop at the
place the attorney desired to get of
the car when he went home to supper.
Venters, who was running another car,
heard the attorney order the motor
man to back up so he could get off al
q walk, and warned the motorman,
he claims to be careful in backing of
the switch, or he would run the car
off the track, and to let the man walk
back, as the car mad once been stopped
for him.
Later in the night the attorney
started back to the city, and found
Venters on the car. He went outside
and after asking IL he wasn't the
man who told the other motorman
not to stop, demanded his name and
said he would report him TO the
company.
venters claimed that the car had
once been stopped at the platform the
attorney desired to get off, which the
attorney denied. Mr.. Yonts claims
that the motorman called him a liar
whereupon he struck him with hi,
fist and the motormsn claims thai
Mr.. Yonts called him the motorman
a liar and at the same time struch
him in the mouth, and the motormar
then used the switch key on him.
W. H. Ray and X. A. Hall, two
countrymen who were on the car, sep
arated them. Attorney Yonts was re
ported comfortable this morning but
was not able to be at his Office. Nc
warrants have yet been issued.

THE NEW SALOON LAW
Ordinance Passed Merely as a Matter
Of Form,
Legislators Know That it will Not
Suck-License Said to Stand
in Way.
REAL FIGHT MAY COME LATER

A great deal is being said about the
saloon closing ordinance, and why GER
tain members Of the two municipal
boards voted this way, and others
that. The ordinance has now been
passed twice by the council and once
by the board OF aldermen. II will pro-
baby be passed again by the board of
aldermen, and be duly signed and be-
come law.
Then the first arrest for a violation
OF it will result in test of the ordi-
nance in the courts which will result
in its prompt rejection as an unoonsti-
tutional measure.
II this were not known now, the or
dinsnce would never have been passed.
It would never have passed even
the council. The facts are that under
the license issued by the city Of Pa
ducah to saloon keepers, the city can.
not compel them to close at any par
tioular hour of the night. Until these
licenses expire and new ones, contain
ing q new form, are issued, the city
will be unable to regulate the opening
and closing OF saloons ON week days.
This has been known for several
weeks
The reason the ordinance has not
met with more opposition in the
boards is that some of those who OPP
pose IL are satisfied Of its unconstitu-
tionAlity and were willing TO pass IL
to satisfy the local option people, the
latter promising to drop the agitation
IL the ordinance was passed.
"If it is any satisfaction, to them
TO have it passed, and upon their
pledge TO drop the agitation" said one
man in one of the boards who is OPP
posed to It, II say pass it, and ! voted
for it, 1t will do no harm to pass it.
and will satisfy the other side.
1t appears from the statements o
attorneys. that the unoonstitutionality
of the saloon ordinance would not be
based on its being class legislation,
but on the fact that the license issued
to saloon keepers, which has prece-
dence, empowers them to keep open all
night IL they desire and no new ordi-
nance can be made retroactive and
paramount to their license, which is
a standing ordinance, in q way it.
self, and must be repealed before q
new one can be used in licenses that
may hereafter be issued.
The city would probably have q
right to close the saloons at any hour
of the night under the police reguls-
ton" provisions Of the law, in the
opinion Of most attorneys, but the Ii
cense itself issued 10 saloons must ex-
pire, which will not be for about
three months yet, before such re-
striction is possible.

Legal action against the alleged

Mr.. Bethea has a special fondness
for red-haired boys. When he sees
one upon the street he seldom falls
TO remark upon the fact.
There" he often says, lis a boy
that has a hard time OF u know
from my own experience. People say
red-headed boys have bad tempers. II
so. it's because Of the extra knocks
and gibes they get"
A short time ago when Mr.. Bethea
was visiting In Dixon. he ran across
red-haired urchin who BACKED boots
and did other odd jobs about the
hotel. Placing his hand upon the
boys shoulder. he said:
son, you've got red hair. Let's
take a vacation to-day. Pile into the
buggy here, and we1l make a day
of IT,"
When the boy was again seen about
the hotel he was attired In a new
suit Of clothes and his companions
learned that he had spent a long free
day on Mr.. Bsthea's farm, where he
had "flled up" to his hearts desire.

LIttIs Animal Furnishes Motive Power
for . sewing Machine
Did you ever see a squirrel run
sewing machlne2 II not, you may. By
journeying to East Fifty-ninth street.
New York, where an enterprising sew
ing machine company has hit upon
this novel method Of attracting 'atten-
ton to its store. The exercise wheel
in the squirrels cage Is attached by
a leather band to the wheel OF a ma
chine which is about four feet dis
tant. BY means OF this arrangement
the machine is started every time the
squirrel gets into his wheel and turns
II.
It is a peculiar fact that whenever
the squirrel starts his wheel to spin
ming he keeps his back toward the
street. Never by any chance does he
face the street until he has finished
his little stunt" Then he runs out
into his cage and sits pesring out OF
the window az though to see II any
one had been watching him. He
breathes hard and acts tired after each
laborious trip in his exercissr. but
seems to enjoy II, for he keeps II spin-
ming almost constantly. Moreover. he
looks sleek and as though the added
work we're just what a Gagged squirrel
needed to keep him strong and
healthy.
As the sewing machine for which he
furnishes the motive power IL well
oiled and runs smoothly and easily.
says the New York Times, perhaps the
squirrels work isn't as laborious as II
seems to be to the casual onlooker.

Cuba has defaulted on the interest
on Cuban bonds issued in 1896. The
patriotic people who in those trying
years of the struggling island advanced
their money in the cause of freedom,
taking in return only bonds, the first
interest on which was be paid when
the first six months of Cuban indie
pendence were passed, can now ap-
preciate something Of the nature Of
the Oubans, who have failed to even
acknowledge the maturity OF the IN
terest. It also shows what this gov.
eminent might.expect if it permitted
Cuba to negotiate the large loan talk
ed Of some time ago. 1t would mean
that this government would have to
pay 1t.
