their agreements, in which the victim
lost 5000 His supposed friend also lost
heavily, but paid I'm checks, while the
victim contributed cash. He notified the
police, but the gang had fled. The police

NO EXTENSION
It Would Cost the Street Car Com.
pany Many thousand.
Talk of a Stock Company But Little
Prospect Of the Road.

Mr.. George @. Wallace, general
manager Of the Paducah Street Rail
way and Light plant, stated this morn
ing when asked in regard to the de-
sired extension of the street car line
from La Belle Park to Lone Oak,
where the new college has just been
established, that the company would
not seriously consider the proposition.
The distance is nearly three miles,
and it would cost the company s2o,-
900, at least, With the prospect of not
being able to make it back in twenty
years.
. There is talk among some Of the
people of organizing a stock company
to build it. but il is not considered
probable that anything of the kind
will ever be done, as the new line
would have to be built from the city,
and 500, 900 would not build it.

Mr.. George 7. Houser, of Chicago,
who has been in the city for the past
week working in the interest of the
state Y. NJ. c. A. convention, left at
noon for Lexington, to work in the
interest of the big $50, geo association
building there.
Mr. Houser has done excellent work
in Paducah. and finds the people more
responsive here in regard to subscrip-
tions than in any place he has been.
One man this morning, before he left
the city, agreed without solicitation
to give to the association s25. All
the merchants have donated liber-
ally to the solicitors, and this Is one
thing very much IN favor of the city,
according TO Mr.. Houser. He says
that he finds fewer foreign young men
in the city, and most of them are of
the city, and have been residing here
all their life.

Supt. Hatfield, Of the Schools, Makes a
Personal Guarantee,

The liquid air entertainment has
been secured for Paducah, and will be
given here on the 27th day Of the
next month.
Superintendent Hatfield and Profess
sor Norval Of the High School have
placed a personal guarantee with the
company. Mrs. Ada Gregory, the
representative Of the Chicago house.
and her husband were in the city yes
terday. and Mrs. Gregory, in com
pany with Professor Hatfield, made a
canvass and secured seventy seven
promises to attend. This was done
in two hours, and the promoters
were thereby encouraged to make
the guarantee. Further efforts will
be made TO secure large enough
patronage to have the exhibition in
the opera house, but II this cannot
be done the entertainment will be
given in the auditorium OF the High
School
This will be the first entertain
ment OF its kind ever given in this
end of the state, and will be Of in
terest TO everybody. The tenpera-
ture Of liquid air goes to 3l9 de-
groes below freezing point, and is so
much colder than ice that when sci

again can be made so brittle that it
will break to pieces. like an egg Shell
A rubber ball can also be placed in
the liquid air and made so brittle
that when picked up 1t will be re-
duced to small pits. These are a
few only of the many demonstrations
given by the company, and the enter
tainment will be one of the most
unique and satisfying entertainments
ever given in Paducah.

Large Number of Telephones Burned
Out Yesterday Afternoon.
DAMAGE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS

Manager Joynes of the Cumberland
Telephone company had wagon ont
this morning loading il up with
burned out telephones. There were
about fifteen or twenty of them ruined
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon by
a live wire crossing another wire On
South Third street.
Some linemen were at work near
Third and Adams, and dropped one of
the company's wires onto another
wire supposed to be insulated.
This played havoc in the entire
neighborhood. and in a short time
the current had burned out fifteen OF
twenty telephones, damaged the cable
in three or four places by burning
holes in it. and crossed wires in such
manner as to ring the fire alarm.
AS soon as possible the wires were
separated, and this morning new tele
phones were placed in where the old
ones were burned out.
The damage will amount to severa
hundred dollars, at least $500, to say
nothing of the annoyance and delay.

A LARGE ATTENDANCE.
AT THE Y. NJ. @. A. RECEPTION
AT HEADQUARTERS LAST
NIGHT.

The reception to the young men Of
the Y. NJ. @. A. and their friends, CIV
en- by the ladies of the association last
night, was a decided success, and the
attendance was better than expected.
Mr.. George T. Houser spoke and
then refreshments were served. The
reception was held for the purpose of
inaugurating a membership campaign,
and thirty-six members have already
been secured. Tie association needs
one hundred more to have the desired
number by the convention Of the del
egates of the state on February 2ist.
Secretary Escott is greatly pleased
with the way in which the work has
progressed, and thinks the members
will have little trouble in acquiring
the necessary number of new men,
bers.
There will be a mems service tomor-
ow, and also boys service, but tho
speakers have not yet been selected.

The Total viii Amount to About
S35O,00O, Barring Reductions.
The Board of Supervisors Has Finished
It's Work Until Protests
Come In.
A FEW REDUCTIONS PROBABLE

The board of county supervisors will
adjourn this afternoon, after having
been in session since the eth of jan
uary. Its labors have been arduous
because of the recent redistricting of
the county. The time was extended
twice by County Judge Lightfoot,
and tho work has at last been finished,
with the exception of hearing the pro-
tests.
The total number of RAISES this
year is several hundred, and expressed
in money will be about $3.50, 900. 1t
is probable that few reductions will
be made, judging from the statement
of one of the members of the board.
The average increase each year in the
total valuation of property, is about
$50, 1000. A "raise" is an increase in
the assessment over the amount listed
by the assessor.
1--WE have had to increase the valua-
tion." declared one member of the
board today. There were only two
counties in the state that had six
per cent valuation last year, and one Of
these was McCracken, and we were
told that we would have to raise our
assessment, or the state board would
raise it for us. We belivee it will be
preferable to raise it at home, and for
this reason, we have made an unusual
number Of raises, making total in
crease in the assessment of about
$3.50, ooo."
The board meets again February
to hear protests for five days. The
county assessors books will then be
turned over to the clerks, who will
go over them and make a careful re-
capitalization, which will require sew
eral weeks. The. books will then be
ready for the sheriff.

The First Term Ends the Coming
Week-A Busy Time.
Some Important Changes to Be Made
in the Higher Grade
Studies.
THE AVERAGE ATTENDANCE is GOOD

All the local public schools will be
closed Thursday at noon, for the re-
mainder Of the week, to enable the
teachers to examine the test papers
and to wind up the terms work,
The first term of school closes this
coming week, and with the beginning
of the next all the grades will be in
the last half. All the papers have to
be Graded, and the standing of the
pupils and classes averaged, and the
teachers will have their hands full.
In the senior class the study of ped
sgogy will be dropped and trig-
onometry or some other study to be
selected substituted. This year the
Latin course has been made stronger
and more books have been read in
Latin than heretofore. Virgil's
Aeneid will be taken up for the last
term.
The tenth grade will drop algebra
and take up geometry, and the ninth
grade will drop physical geography
and take up botany. These are the
changes in studies that will take
place in the High School
This term the teachers will require
more original composition work than
in previous years. This is one class
OF study that seems to have been neg
leoted, and will be made feature.
The school attendance is very good
