probable that he will abandon his
company for the season.

been anticipated with pleasure ever
since their engagement here was an.

ence ever in a Pine Bluff theater will
be seem OF the 500 seats on the first

KILLING OVER 25 CENTS
Farm Hand Shot BY His Employer
Elmer Atteberry

Decatur, H., Nov. 19.-The coroner's
Jury in the case of Frank Lemar after
being in session five hours, returned
verdict finding that Lemar was shot
by c. Elmer Attebery. his employer.
and recommended that Attebery be
held to await the action of the grand
jury. Attebery is now at large on a
bond of $4,000 for assault with intent
to kill. He is prominent farmer, and
it is anticipated that he will not at
tempt to escape.
The evidence showed that the shoot
ing was caused by dispute over
wages due for corn shucking. The
difference between the two men
amounted to about 25 cents.

The Paducah Medical and Surgical
society is thing of tine past. and in
its place exists the McCracken County
Medical Society, organized today.
This morning many local doctors
and several from the county, met at

Councillor Reddick and the affairs of
the local society were wound up by
reports from the secretary, DR.. Della
Caldwell, and treasurer, DR.. Horace

society was declared merged into the
county society. This was done pursu-
ant to actions taken by the state So
oiety and also the American Medical
Association. There were several new
members added and this morning
marked the first regular meeting of
the county society since the merging
was done.
The election Of officers was held
and DR.. s. @. Holland, of Graham

Officer James Collins Does Not Like
Unkind Things Said Of Him.
He Will Insist On an Acceptance
and Captain Henry Bailey Will
Succeed Him.
ACTION EXPECTED TOMORROW

Chief James Collins, who has had
charge of the police force of Paducah
less than two months, has resigned his
commission, and will insist on its ac-
ceptance. He rendered his resignation
at a meeting held Monday night but
it was not given out, as it was hoped
that he might be induced to withdraw
it, and retain the position.
Chief Collins is firm in his intention
to quit, however, and will not have it
longer than it takes to appoint his
successor. His reason for giving up
the place is that many unkind things
have been said about him since he was
appointed, one being that the position
was created simply to keep him In
Office. He stated this morning that
he did not need the place, and could
live without it, and as the Office was
necessary under the law and he was
chosen to fill it, he took it.
Chief Collins is a big hearted man,
first class detective and a man who
has been Of vast service to the city,
and unkind words always hurt him.
He perhaps has as many friends as
any man in the state, and while
they have all urged him to reconsid-
err, he thinks only of the ones who
seemingly do not want him to hold
the office, and will give it mp.
Captain Henry Bailey, who has
made a fine record as police officer,
market master and captain Of police
is in line for promotion, and will
doubtless be elected to succeed Chief
Collins He is one of the most cap
able, respected and popular officers in
the city, as his record will show,
and more wise and satisfactory APP
pointment could not be made.
- utenant T. ]. Moore, an affable,
capable and popular officer, will be
chosen to fill the captains position,
as he is in line for the promotion and
deserves it, 1t is not known who
will be made lieutenant in his place.
The police commissioners meet to-
morrow night to investigate the
charges recently lodged against two
officers and will doubtless then elect
Chief Collins successor.

There are Now 1856 Pupils In the
High School.
Thirty eight of These Are in the Grad
uating Glass and Many Others
Are Expected.
LATEST FROM THE SCHOOLS

The High school is larger this year
than since the public schools were es-
tsblished.
ave have now total of 1856 pupils
in the three grades of the High
school," Prof. o. A. Norvel said this
morning, "and before the expiration
of few weeks will probably have
many more to come in. We opened
with 1873 last year and at the close
had many more but the graduating
class this year, think, will be larger
than any we have heretofore had. In
the eleventh grade there are 9s enroll
led; In the tenth AZ and in the
ninth, Sc, making the total 1885,"
Last year we had SO entered in the
graduating class and that is the num-
Der graduated. We hope to do even
better this year. and think that the
present class will hold and that none
Of the members will stop school before
the two terms are out.
with every year we have an in
crease and with the popularity Of the
schools we hope to make feature Of
the High school and place It on as
high plane as the many colleges
throughout the country and we are
slowly but surely attaining this end. ="
There have been several attempts
made to secure = chemical apparatus
for the use in teaching chemistry, but
the board would not appropriate the
money necessary to purchase the
same. This year the board will again
be shown the necessity of such an sp-
preparation and will urge that the ap-
psrstus be purchased before the year
is too far gone to put in the complete
course in chemistry.

The Mystery Surrounding George
Conrad's Death UnsoIyed.
A Strange Woman with Blonde Hair
Again Figures in the
Case.
NO ooRoNER's VERDICT YET

: Covington, KY, Sept. 10-Coroner
Tarvin. of Covington, who is still in
vestigating the mysterious death Of
George Conrad, the head waiter Of the
Gibson house, who was found on the
Bromley, KY, bridge a week ago
with a bullet in his brain, was told o
new story this morning by Zach Har-
ris, who keeps a tollgste a mile and
a half below Bromley.
Harris says that Conrad, accom-
panied by a blonde woman, made
three or four trips a week through the
gate and went to dense thorn tree
grove near the house. Tuesday, a
week before his death, the couple
passed under the gate. The man was
silent and the woman was talking to
him in pleading tone.
Harris followed them a safe distance
behind. The woman placed both hands
on Conrad's shoulders and looked
straight into his face, as if pleading
with him. He was seen to shake his
head. The woman drew from her
pocket a small revolver and toyed
with it. Conrad got up from his seat
beside her and, walking in front of
her, got down on his knees. She then
put the weapon away. They left
shortly sfterward in the direction of
Bromley.
The police and coroner believe that
the man killed himself, but verdict
will not be rendered for q while,
awaiting any new Developments.

officials Threaten to Resign II Not
Permitted to Fight it
Out.
METHOD IS YET IN DOUBT

New York, Sept. l0-For the good
Of the great properties involved and in
the interest of the public welfare, il
was announced on authority today
that ]. Pierpont Morgan has decided
to use his good offices to the best of
his ability to bring about a means for
ending the great coal strike.
This announcement was made at
the conclusion OF conference in
which Governor Stone, of Pennsyl-
vania, Attorney General Elkin, Of
the same state. and p. A. b. Widener
took part, and during which Mr..
widener met and talked briefly with
MIR. Morgan.
MAY MEET MITCHELL.
Just what step will be taken in the
matter was not learned, bat IL was in
timated in certain quarters that Mr..
Morgan and President Mitchell, of the
miners, might meet, as the first move
in the important negotiations. The
lesder of the strikers said he would
be glad to meet Mr.. Morgan or any
one representing him in the interests
of peace.
PRESIDENTS MAY RESIGN.
To add TO the interest in the days
developments and the evident change
of opinion on the part of Mr.. Morgan
IL was said that the heads of the coal
roads, instead Of being pleased at the
prospects of Mr.. Morgan's mediation,
have intimated that they would resign
their positions rather than be thwart-
cd in their expressed determinations
to carry the fight to the bitter end.
CONCESSIONS ON BOTH SIDES.
After Mr.. Morgan had today seen
statement written by Governor Stone,
of Pennsylvania, one who stands very
close TO the financier said: Under
meath the governors statement you
may write thai Mr.. Morgan is willing
to do all he can in the interest Of the
public welfare, and for the good Of
the great properties involved, to end
this ruinous strike. just how this
may now be accomplished remains to
be seen, but it is obvious that conces-
sions must be made by both sides in
order to break the present deadlock,
and arrive at an amicable understand.

OUR WEALTH GROWS
North Cardinals Banking In
situations Great Progress.
This is Shown by the Fact Tha! in Three Years
The Number of Banks in North Carolina
has Been Nearly Doubled.

The North Carolina Corporation Com
mission has called for a statement of the
condition of banks at the close of bust
ness, November %, 1902.
In this connection it may be interest
ing to call attention to the great growth
of the banking interests in North Caro-
lima for the past three years. 1t tells
tale of the progress of the State.
The General Assembly, at its session
in 1899, in order to have a more thor
ough system of control of the State,
private and savings banks of the State,
relieved the State Treasurer of this duty
and placed the supervision of the banks
with the Corporation Commission. In
1899, when the commission took control
of the examination of these institutions
there were sixty-fve banks. There are
now eighty-two State banks, twenty one
private banks and fifteen savings banks
making a total of one hundred and
eighteen.
The capital stock in 1899 was $2,3O7 ,297
and the deposits were $7,41S,912 This,
in three years, has so increased that the
capital stock in 1902 is $3,513, 564 and the
deposits are $l4O4b,1I5.
There are also thirty-eight National
banks in the State with a capital of
SO. $50 900, and deposits to the amount of
$9,744270, and from these figures it will
be seen that the capital and deposits OF
the State Institutions exceed that of the
National banks. The combined deposits
of all banks in the State amount to
$2S,791 ,045, with a capital stock of
Sc, 1913, 564
The commission calls for at least five
reports year of the condition of the
banks under its supervision. These re-
ports are filed and are of record in the
office of the commission. They are care
fully scrutinized and a convenient table
is made of all the reports of each call.
The Comptroller of the Currency at
Washington has taken occasion to COM
pliment highly the manner and the value
of these compilations.
In addition to this a special examina-
ton is made annually and oftener if
who are appointed by the commission
and these go carefully into the examina-
ton of the banks. the expense Of all or
which is borne by these institutions
The banks seem to be prospecting, and
there has not been a failure in the past
three years. The present condition
shows that they are progressing and that
the people of the State are taking ad-
vantage of them.
