The consolidation of the Smith and
Scott Tobacco company, the Fiournoy
Tobacco company, and the Porter
Hudson company, Of Paris, Tenn. I,
gives Paduoah one of the largest insti-
tutions of the sort in this part of the
country. Each of these concerns has
been doing remarkably big business
and the combined sales of all will run
up into big figures. The deal has been
on for several weeks and was known
Of in financial circles but it was not
announced until yesterday. Besides
giving Paducah a big industry the
merger brings to this city one of the
best and most popular business men in
the south, Mr.. Charles Porter. Mr..
Porter will be general manager Of the
company and with his family will re-
move TO the city the first of the new
year.

The petitions to ministers and legisla-

holds tina. while the operation of the
proposed measue is confined to few
extreme cases, such as adultery, de-
sertion, cruelty and condemnation to
penal servitude tor more than 90
years, it is quite sufficient to famil-

Commonwealth Attorney Bradshaw
Filed two Suits To-day.
Asks Thst $500 Be Forfeited to the
Commonwealth by the
Companies.
FIRST EVER FILED HERE

Two unusual suits were filed today
in circuit court here by Common
wealth's Attorney W +. Bradshaw, one
for the commonwealth against the
Manhattan Life Insurance company Of
New York and its agent, Mr.. George
U. McBroom. for $500 each and one
against the Mutual Life Insurance
company of Kentucky, and Mr.. O.W.
Collie, Its agent here, for $500 each.
These suits are on what is known as
rebates. " AS explained by an attor-
ney for the commonwealth, there is a
statute which prescribes that II any
insurance company makes rebate to
AIRY one, it shall forfeit $500 for eech
oifense.
This is collected by suit, such as
the ones filed here today. II is not an
indictabla offense. but one that is pun
ishable bya forfeiture of certain
amount of money, not more than
$500 for each offense, which must be
collected by suit. and which goes
into the state treasury.
The suit filed against the Man
haitian and Mr. McBroom, the local
agent Is for alleged rebate to Brant-
ley Bolton. on $4,000 policy, the
amount of rebate being,It is claimed,
sSe. So.
In the suit against the Mutual Life
and Mr. CIV. Collie, ,it is alleged that
q rebate was made of s37. 90 to Mr..
JEFF Read on a ~, 900 policy In each
case 5000 is asked against the company
and it's agent
II IL said that there has been great
deal of Relating in Psduoah, and the
commonwealth's attorney is hot on
the trail OF some OF the agents, and it
Is probable, according to reports, that
q number OF other suits similar to
the above will soon be filed. They
are certain TO arouse unusual interest
in insurance circles, as they are the
first of their kind ever filed here.
Agents are usually allowed about go
per cent of the first premium, but as
an induoement to work hard they are
offered extra prizes for their work,
which IL is claimed induces them very
often to make big rebates to get
business and increase their chance
of getting 8 prize, although it re.
duces their remuneration.

SPEAKER REED OF THE OOUN.
GIL DOES NOT OBJECT TO
SIGNING.

Speaker Charles Reed of the council
is very much disgusted at the efforts
made to stir up something in regard
to signing the saloon closing ordin-
ance. When the ordinance was
handed to him to sign as presiding
officer of the board he simply said
he was not quite ready then, desir-
ing to give the saloon men time to
prepare for the change, and since then
has been busy at the hotel during the
absence of one of his clerks, and for
that reason has neglected to sign it.
An effort has been made to spread
the impression that he does not intend
to sign it, and "can be made to-" Mr..
Reed stated today that he has always
intended to sign the ordinance when
he got ready. He said further;
THE whole thing is purely non-
sense. The charter does not require
either presiding officer to sign an
ordinance. 1t stipulates that all or
dinances shall become laws when
signed by the mayor. The signing
of an ordinance by the presidents Of
the two boards is merely formality
that was adopted IN the rules. and
is not ct all necessary, and the mayor

the Palmer house, and q member Of

Headquarters Of Kentucky Division,
U. O. V.
Louisville, KY, Dec. IL.
Mr.. Charles Reed,
Psducah, Ky.
Dear Sir: 1t is the desire Of Gem
eral Bennett II. Young, commanding
the Kentucky Division of the U. U.
", to secure an earnest, active and
influential staff. He believes that
there is yet in the remaining years Of
the Kentucky Confederate much
work to be done in the correction
Of history, the erection of monu-
ments and the gathering Of the sons
and daughters into such organizations
as will be able and willing to defend
all principles and motives of those
who fought under the banner of the
Confederate states. and especially to
see that the Kentucky Confederate
has his just and noble place in the
worlds history.
The commanding general believes
that you can do much to carry out
these patriotic purposes and directs
me to request you to accept the place
on his staff as assistant adjutant gen.
eral, with the rank Of Lieutenant col
onel.
Trusting that you will do rs the
honor to accept this place, and asking
an early acknowledgment of your
wishes, / remain,
Yours truly,
(Signed) MCDOWELL,
Adjutant General and Chief of Staff.
Mr.. Reed this morning wrote his re-
ply, accepting the honor and thanking
General Young very cordially for it.
He is naturally very proud Of the dis
tinction and hopes to be of great ser.
vice to his old comrades.

INTERESTING

Route Agent O. A. Abbott, of the
American Express company, has been
summoned to Hartford to appear as
witness in the trials of Boatner
and Sohlitzbsum, the two men slleged
to have formed a conspiracy at
Fordsville, KY. several months ago
to defraud the express company.

it developes that the only offense
with which they can be charged il

at Hartford next Thursday.

It was alleged conspired with Boatner
to be robbed of the package, in order
TO defraud the express company by
enabling Bostner to sue for the $685.

the package, and he and Boatnei
were soon arrested for conspiracy anc

Since their Incarceration Boatnei
has sued the express company on thu

ley, Of Louisville, charged with at
tempted bribery two years ago in the
Kentucky gubernatorisl contest, was
yesterday afternoon late dismissed on
the prosecutions evidencs. Mr.. Head
ley did not have TO testify nor intro

commonwealth witnesses had all
been examined, it was clear that there
had been made out no case, and mo-
tion OF the defendants attorneys for
peremptory instructions for acquittal
was sustained and the jury brought in
a verdict of not guilty.
The case had been on the docket for
two years past, and once was thrown
out Of court on demurrer but re-
vfrsed by the court Of appeals.
Mr. Headley is a son Of Hon. John

ALL A HOAX.
THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE
REPORT OF A MURDER.

Last night Captain Henry Bailey
WAS notified that there had been a
murder committed in or near what
is known as the "Roundtop" house
in the northern portion of the city on
Sixth street. He detailed Officers
Beadles, johnson, Evitts and Farrow
to look the matter mp, and after max.
ing thorough Investigations last night
and today decided that the matter
was purely imaginary. A resident of
North Sixth street near Flournoy
street claims to have heard pistol shots
and a woman's screams. He kept
quiet until he thought he was safe
and then informed the officers. The
police even went so far as to drag a
gravel pit nearby, where the body was
supposed to have been sunk. The al
legged murder was reported committed
Thursday night. No trace OF blood
was found except near a slaughter
pen, and that came from the beeves
that had been killed for the market.
