Now another little convenience has
been designed whereby lovely woman
may view the back of her head as she
twists and loops her hair into a mod
ish couture. This novelty is in the form
of a small mirror, which is so arranged
that it may be fastened to corner of
the dressing chair.
This device leaves both hands per-
fectly free for the putting of the full
pompadour and gathering all stray
locks into very neat twist, while the

I felt almost inclined not to see her,

of this proceeding. l accordingly en-

awaiting me. The light was not very
good, but it was sufficient for me to
see two figures standing by the win

honor of this visit, mademoiselles? ?" l

evening wear. All Of the Colonial shoes
have the large gold or silver buckle on the
vamp.
The regulation low shoe is just a. popu-
lar as ever, and comes in no end of differ
ent styles.
Patent leather continues to be the correct
thing for dress, and there is really nothing
that can take its place.
The new street shoes are extremely
sensible, with medium soles and heels and
good broad last. A woman cannot display
poorer taste than to wear highheel o on the
street.

1t Is not the mountain, 1t Is not the land;
And it is not the deep, wide sea;
And not the stretch of the desert sand
Can separate you and me,
Sweetheart,

Hands may clasp and tighten and hold,
And heart be pressed to heart,
Yet only shadows the arms enfold,
If souls have grown apart,
Sweetheart,
If souls have grown apart.
Nor yet the gallop of racing horse
Can make the distance wide,
And not the steam of electric force
Can Danish us side from side,

But the cruel thought, the harsh distrust,
The word that biteth sore,

So far we could meet no more,

N1HERE is a tendency toward slightly
more pointed shoes, but otherwise lit
tie change in the models for this summer,
says the Chicago Journal The fiat last
will continue to be the smart sole for all
shoes, whether they are of patent leather,
calf or tan, and should be of the extension
kind and fairly thick.
Tho Colonial shoe is the very newest for
summer wear and comes in both the high

low Colonial will be the most popular, as

Mayor Of Lexington Says the City is
Entitled to Road Fund.
The Unique Contention Made That
County Should Keep up Part
Ct the Streets.
ASKS THAT SUITS BE BROUGHT

II is possible that new question
will shortly be sprung in Paducah re-
garding the county's paying portion
of the cost of city street improve
ments.
In Lexington the mayor has already
urged claim of the city for portion
of the money expended annually by
the Fiscal court for the construction,
reconstruction and repair of turnpikes.
The mayor bases his claim upon the
following sections of the Kentucky
statutes, being part Of an act Of the
general assembly which became law
in 1894:
. Section 1886: "That the fiscal
court Of any county in this state shall
have the power to appropriate any sur
plus money in its treasury to the grad
ing, graveling or building turnpikes
or improving the county roads of their
respective counties.
Section 1888: "said money to be
expended by said court in the magis-
terial districts of said counties, each
district receiving its pro rata, as the
assessed value of said district bears
to the entire county"
1t is insisted that nagisterial
district that happens TO be inside
city is nevertheless entitled to its
share of the county funds for the
building or maintenance Of public
roads, and that this amount can be
collected and applied to street i'm
provements in city just the same as
IL it were in the county and applies
to county roads, and thus reduce the
city tax rate.
The Lexington mayor has recon-
mended that the ways and means
committee of the general council at
at once sue in behalf of the five magis-
terial districts that are inside the city
of Lexington, for the amounts they
would be entitled to from the county
road fund, amounting to about $780,
900 year, but no action has yet
been taken.
Il is estimated that IL the present
and past amounts due were collected
the city would be $780, 900 ahead.
The question will be watched with
interest here, as the same principle
will apply In Paducah as in Lexing-
ton.

THE WOMAN WASSHOT
Charles KiIgore Says He Was Only
Playing With Her.
He Had Recently Quarreled With Her
and Threatened to Shoot
Her.
KILGoRE IS NOW IN JAIL

Charlie Kilgore, colored, known as
Bud" Kigore, shot and perhaps ia
tally wounded Matte Belle Thomas
about b:45 yesterday afternoon in her
house in Hoffman's alley, between
Washington and CLARK, Seventh and
Eighth streets, and tried to make his
escape, but was shortly Afterwards ar
rested near Tenth and CLARK streets
while he was making for the railroad
yards
Kilgore had been going with the
woman for some time, but IL is claim
cd by his friends had quarreled with
her and left her. Yesterday after
noon he was appraised Of the fact
thst the Thomas woman had another
man at her house and Kilgore,
who was drinking, in company
with two negro women, enter
ed her house. As he entered the
door he pulled out his pistol and
told her he was going 70 shoot her.
To this the woman paid no particu-
lar attention as she claims he often
played with her this way and was
never without pistol When she
made for the door, however, TO make
an exit he commanded her to stop I'm.
der threats Of shooting and with q
quick downward motion threw the gun
on her The weapon was discharged
and the bullet struck her Just below
the navel, infiicting perhaps = fatal
wound.
According TO the woman he was
only playing and did not intend to
shoot her, and after the shot ran to
her crying that he did not go to do 1t
and was going after q doctor. With
this he made hasty departure and
instead of going after the doctor he
tried to get out Of town.
The woman was given the best med
ioal attention and WAS seemingly not
much the worse for the wound as she
talked freely and joked about the
affair to Captain Henry Bailey.
Kilgore has borne a good reputation
and was formerly in the employ Of
City Engineer James Wilcox.
The woman may recover. The case
against Kilgore was called in police
court this morning and continued.

Insurance on Residences Reduced in
Paducah This Morning.
The Total Reduction will Probably
Amount to About Twelve or I
Eighteen Per Gent.
NOTHING ABOUT BUILDINGS

Today q reduction in the insurance
rates on dwellings houses and resi-.
dences went into effect in Paaucah.
1t came rather Unexpectedly to every
one except insurance men, and will
amount to about ~ or Is per cent, as
near as ii can be estimated.
The cause is simply, as explained
by insurance men, that the new sched-
ule provides lower rate on dwell
ings. Paducah is now rated in the
second class. Had the improvements
been made that were recommended to
the general council by local insurance
men some time since, Paducah would
have been rated in the first class and
the reduction would have been much
larger.
Dwellings are divided into several
classes, bricks with me tai roofs, frames
with metal roofs, bricks with single
roofs, or frames with shingle roofs.
Taking these as they stand, the re-
duotion will be about 33 per cent, but
this rate is changed by the distance
from fire plugs, or to other buildings,
and this will probably make the aver
age about IS per cent.
Had the improvements been made
and Paducsn rated in the first class,
the reduction would have been about
one-fourth greater.
Nothing is yet known about the ba-
sic rate on business houses.

Family Of Fighters
Halls from Missouri

During the war the mother And
daughter Of the Dolan family attended
to the farm and planted and raised
crops until the border warfare, waged
between Quantrel and Jennison, drove
them from their home. They we're sub
sequently banished by the famous or.
der No. IL. issued by Gen. Ewing.
They did not, however, leave the
state: but in another county they were
able to give consi ierable aid and com
fort to the southern cause in many
ways. any one of which would have
led to their Imprisonment If the Fed
erals had ever known of their sym
pathetic acts. In word. they were
frequently spies.
The father OF the family was on the
staff of Gen. Francis Marion in the
Florida war and afterward was Judge
In Cass county, Mo. His falling sight

James Monroe Dolan and his wife
daughter and five sons were living in
Cass county, Mo-. when the civil wal
began. Early in the first year of the
conflict the five sons enlisted in what
was known as Bledoe's Gentlemen s
battery, which became famous before
the war ended.
One of them soon after became a
captain. Their command followed
Gen. Stirling Price across the Mis-
souri, border into Arkansas and after
ward became part OF the army of
which Albert Sydney Johnston was
commander.
In the second year OF the war three
OF the brothers we're captured. The
captain was sent to Camp Douglas:
the other two were sent to Alton

All were exchanged within six
months and returned to service. They
later went TO Virginia and were with
