AGNEW AND WEEOAY
COME TO TERMS
Are Willing to Meet Each Other
at l5S Pounds for Ten
Rounds.

AS soon as Jack Weekdays challenge
to box Lon Agnew ten rounds for the
middle-weight championship of the ISL
ands appeared in Wednesdays Adver-
tiser, the latter lost no time in declar-
ing his willingness to meet Weeday,
under certain conditions.
Agnew argued that he was only a
welter-weight, and as such did not
think that 1t would be fair to himself
to meet Weeday at the welterweight
limit OF 15S pounds. He declared his
perfect willingness to box Weeday but
drew the weight line at 155 pounds.
Yesterday Weeday was informed of
Agnew's decision in the matter, and
he at once said that he would waive
the extra three pounds and meet Ag-
new at the weight stipulated.
All that the men have now to do is
to sign articles and get into training
and then local lovers of good boxing
should be treated to as fine an exhibit
ton Of the manly art as has occurred
here for many a long day.
Weeday said last night that he would
be agreeable to box for the proceeds of
the house and a side bet, or IS per cent
of the house to go to the winner and
% per cent to the loser.

Mr.. VIM. Bowman, Of Cincinnati,
criminal bailiff of Hamilton county,

During their stay in Paducah they
were guests of the police department.
They are both large, distinguished

Detective Kincead has arrested
"Spotty" number of times, and
Mr.. Bowman took him to the peniten'

prisoner is an CID time crook, and
Mr.. Bowman stated that when he
learned he was In Jail for crooked

Members Of the council were told
that they should secure an outside
opinion on city elections. The coun-
Gil has nothing to do with elections,
but the councilmen didn't tumble Just
at that time. They took under the
cork and the "outside" opinion was
secured. When it got here, it had
precious little to say about fall cleo
lions, but considerable to say about
Paducah's not being in the second

rushed ahead and brought . suit to

necessary. They should have proceed

wife didn't know didn't hurt her.
They should not have paid any atten-
tion to the opinion. II anyone else,
in future years. wanted to test the
question, then would be time enough
to worry over it. There was nothing
to prevent the city from enjoying her

NOW WITHDRAW THE SUIT.

The best way out of an unpleasant
dilemma, it seems, would be for the
three councilmen who filed the injunc-
ton suit to now withdraw IL. They
have doubtless by this time been con-
WINGED that the people are against 1t.
The board of councilmen, by major
ity vote, last night promptly repudiat-
ed it, They have nothing to sustain
them but their conscience and that re-
markable legal opinion that poor
Judge Pryor has to shoulder the res
possibility for.
The people want the suit dismissed.
The opinion that Paducah is not in the
second class amounts to nothing. An
act of the Legislature, duly attested, is
all the title Psducsh requires to the
claim Of being In the second class. She
has this act, and as it is law OF the
highest lawmaking body in the state
nothing can overthrow it but deci-
sion Of the highes. law-interpreting
body in the state, the court Of appeals.
A decision from this court that Padu-
cab was legally transferred into the
second class would make us no better
off. We have the documents to that
effect. II we are not in the second
class now, we might as well be, as ev-
erything done, according 10 the most
prominent man of the administration
outside OF the mayor, is legal and will
continue to be legal until the highest
court says we are not in the second
class. -
In addition, to clear everything ur
and prove 20 q skeptical people Just
what Judge Pryor was asked for, the
committee that asked for his opinion,
or whoever did, should produce the
communication. and let the people SEE
exactly what Kind of request wal
made Of him. 1t ought to be easily
secured, and IL II is seen from this re-
quest that he was asked simply for an
opinion relative TO the fall elections,
and threw in the other information
gratis, then IL will have very olsri'
flying effect on the now rather cloudy
atmosphere. Yet If an opinion on the

According to President Noble of
the board of aldermen, Paduoah could
have gone along half century
under a "de facto government, and
everything so done would have been
legal until the highest courts decided
Paducah was not in the second class.
Then why didn't President Noble
and the Others let well enough alone
There was never any necessity for
finding out where we are. The mem
bers of the council who forced the
suit on the city doubtless thought
they were doing som ething wise and
wonderful, but it turned out they were
only being worked.

CIRCUIT COURT
The Voolfolk Murder Trial Not Yet
Finished.
The Grand Jury Today Returned
More Indictments.

At press time the case against War
ner Voolfolk, oolored, for murder,
was still on trial. II will not be fin
ished today.
The following indictments were re-
turned today, all indicted being in
Jail;
William Franklin, obtaining money
by false pretensesi Henry Palmer,
robbery; John worley, horse stealing;
Will Gordon, horse stealing; Roxie
Level, robbery; Charles Turpin, ma
licious cutting. The charges against
Pearl Bass for larceny, Robert Banks
and Charles Harris, the latter two col.
ored, for malicious assault, were ig-
nored and the prisoners released.
The motion for e new trial in the
Lon Fuqua case has been set for trial
on the sixteenth day at 8 O'Clock sharp
Fuqua was charged with being an ac.
cessory in the murder Of George Gray
and after the jury had been out over
two days finally agreed on the life
sentence. The attorneys for the de-
Tense think that they can tighten the

new trial is granted.

election was asked, that was bad
enough, for the city officials have moth
ing to do with elections and ought to
have known it. Yet, perhaps the err
ing officials who made the mistake
have been hammered enough. They
ought to be excused and allowed to
quietly resign, in order to guarantee
the people that such a mistake will
not occur again. II they were parties
to any political scheme they ought to
be fred out, and II they simply did it
through error and really didn't know
any better they ought to resign as in
competent to look after the peoples
interests. 1t is likely they didn't
know any better. The average conn
Gilman is not expected to know much.
There are doubtless few who really
think that the city council regulates
elections, and perhaps runs the uni
verse between times, and such men
would very readily fall victims to the
delusion that the city needed legal
opinion on elections. II they had been
told that the city ought to send for
the latest opinion on the inhabitants
of Mars probably they would have
sent for the opinion just the same, like
the good little boys they are. They
seem to have entirely too much curios-
ity. 1t is not desired to hr-t their
feelings, but it has been suggested
that if they were not in the council,
they would have more time to crafty
this curiosity.
This injunc tion business has been
too serious and injurious to pass over.
1t has stirred up the city as nothing
else ever did. II either trickery or
ignorance caused it, there should be
something done to guard against a
repetition In the future.
However, passing over all that, it
is now time to withdraw the suit and
allow the city to pursue her way I'M
trammelled. The suit was based on
nothing but an opinion, and legal
opinion may be obtained on any sub
ject and to any effect. There was no
cause for it, and no reason that the
people, should it be withdrawn, ever
again think of it. Everything the city
does is legal, and will be so until the |
supreme court decides that the legis-
lsture made a mistake in transferring |
to the second class. Until
such time we are safe, and should
feel so.
II the members of the general ooun-
Gil, who whether they thought they
were doing right or not, didn't do it
in the eyes of the people, have not
learned a lesson, they should resign.
Their hasty and uncalled for action
has been repudiated by everybody,
and they themselves admit that they
made a mistake. They filed the suit
without the sanction of the general
council, and the counoilmanic hoard
has already expressed its disapproval
of the action. The people have almost
unanimously done so, also, and they
are left practically with no further
excuse for urging 1t.

The people who attend the Ken
lucky theater are entitled to police
protection at the expense of the city.
The fact that it is in a theater does
not relieve the city Of its responsible
ity. There is no reason Manager Eng
lish should pay extra for police pro-
lection when the taxpayers, many Of
whom are patrons of The Kentucky,
have already paid for such protection.
It is the duty of the city to have po-
lice officers wherever they are neces-
sary, and If they are not necessary in
the opera house gallery they are not
necessary anywhere. The city does
not compel the railroad company to
pay for the policeman at the depot.
II the police protection at the theater
was for Manager English's benefit, il
would be reasonable to expect him
to pay for il. But it is not. tits for
the benefit OF the general public, who
go there to enjoy the play without an
noyance and interruption.

Fire Caused by Nails.

New Orleans Times Democrat
 Speaking of insurance matters" said a man. "I suppose the plain. old fashion ed nail has caused more fires in the big esta ablshments where machinery is used in many and complicated ways than any other little thing in existence. The only thing needed Is for it to come in contact with some other hard material with suf- ficent force to cause spark and heat genera tion. Nails have really produced heavy percent of the cotton fires of the country. During recent years, on account of steps taken by the owners and conductors of the larger cotton and byproduct plants at the instance of in surance men. the nail has not been such a prolific producer of fires.
 "A way has been found. for instance. in cotton mills and in plants where cot ton seed are put through manufacturing processes of extracting nails and other weighty substances that may find lodge ment in these infiammable products. Gravity is the natural force used. Nails and rocks and materials of this kind . heavier than cotton and it's byproducts, and they have a tendency to force their way to bottom of the heap. By allowing arrangement these heavier materials filter toward the bottom and are finally extracted, so that when the cotton or the cotton seed passes through the grind in the various manufacturing processes there is but little danger from fire so far as these things are concerned, .,

A Cure for Insomnia.

DietlC ana ftyBlenlC 0d1cltc'
 pr. von Gelhorn has recently reported cure for sleeplessness or insomnia. A piece of muslin about eighteen inches wide and two and three-quarters yards long. is rolled up like a bandage and q third of 1t wrung out of cold water The leg is then bandag ged with this. the wet portions being carefully covered by several layers of the dry part, as well as by layer of gutta percha tissue and a stocking drawn on over the whole. This causes dilatation of the vessels of the leg, thus diminishing the blood in the head and producing sleep. It has been found by Winternitz that the tempera- ture in the ear passages begins to fall in a quarter of an hour after the appi- cation of the bandage; the decrease amounting to four degree C., and the nirmal not being again reached for from one and half to two hours after wards. The author has employed this means of procuring sleep for couple of years and finds 1t especially useful in cases where there ts congestion of the brain. Sometimes he has found it neces- sary to reapply the bandage every three or four hours. as it dried.
 This is very much the same in its ef- fleets as the cold wet compress over the abdomen or at the nape of the neck. They are much used in health institu- tions and home treatment and are often beneficial.
