II is to bei$2.32 This Year-The
Apportionment.
But the Superintendent Holds Out
Promise to Do Better
Next Year.
SOME OF THE FIGURES

Frankfort, KY. July 2i-State
Superintendent Of Public Instruction
McChesney has declared the school
per capita for the operation of the
common schools in Kentucky for the
current year to be $2.3s. This is bas-
ed on school census of 1872, 7s4 child
rem and an estimate Of s1,730, 221. So
income.
The per capita fixed is decrease
from last year Of eighteen cents.
This Superintendent McCaesney ex-
plains in letter addressed to County
superintendents and city school boards
is the result of a heavy falling off in
the collections made for the year just
closed from licenses, state banks and
miscellaneous corporations. The
shortage from these sources caused
large deficit in estimating the per cap
ita for this year. Another cause of
the decrease is that the recent general
assembly passed an act refunding to
state banks taxes they had paid under
the Hewitt law in excess Of what they
should have paid.
A further reason for the decrease in
per capita is the increase IN the school
census. The census for the year end
ing June 80, 1901, was 727, 5S1; for
the year ending June 80, 1902, it was
72s, 729, and for the year ending June
80, 1908, it is 732,7s4. 1t will be
seen that the increase from 1901 to
1902 was only about l,40o, while the
increase from 1909 to 1908 is about
3, 300.
Next year, it is promised, it will
be increased to above g. 80, as the
portion the school fund will receive
from the Civil war claim, to be paid
in March next, will exceed SEQ, 900.
The apportionment Of the school
fund for the current year, under the
estimate made by Auditor Coulter,
will be as follows:
732,7s4 pupil children, as shown by
reports of school officers at s2.32 per
pupil, 81, 700, o5s.ss.
Amount to be distributed to coun-
ties as interest on county bonds, s22,-
91s.s5.
Balance to meet expenses Of the
Office and possible corrections in the
census, s7,243.S 5.
Total, s1.730, 221.5S.

The Race For Appellate Judgship
Nomination More Complicated.
Reported That Mum, Cook and White
Will Combine on Organization
Tomorrow.
MANY RUMoRs RIFE TODAY

Both candidates and politicians are
in Paducah today in great nuinbars.
Most of them are here to do o little
wire working. The advance guard
arrived yesterday morning, quite q
delegation over the N, O. and st. l..
last night and dozens of others today.
The principal attraction is the Demo-
cratic appellate convention at La
Belle park tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock. 1t seems to be everybody's
race, and everybody seems to be anx-
ious to win it. The candidates for
state offices are here to mix around,
set 'em up to visiting politicians, and
make themselves as solid with as
many people as possible.
THE APPELLATE NOMINATION.
The main interest centers in the
race for the appellate nomination.
however, and the result of Saturdays
conventions has left more than one
man guessing. The consensus Of
opinion seems to be that either Mum
of Hopkins or Dorsey of Henderson
will be the nominee. Judge Dorsey
declined to make the race for the
nomination several weeks ago, but
that did not mean that he wouldn't
have 1t II he can get it. The Sun sew
eral days ago stated that he was dark
horse with chance to win, and since
then his chances have grown brighter.
as he secured the instructions Of two
counties, Webb and Henderson. with
SO votes, when it was thought these
counties would send uninstructed dell
egations.
JUDGE DORSEY TO FIGURE.
The McCracken county delegation is
instructed for Robbins, at least the
delegates who will hold the creden-
tials on preliminary organization are
instructed for Robbins, but some Of
them are for Dorsey just the same,
and after they have voted for Robbins,
on the first ballot. having no second
instructions, may vote in way en-
tirely unexpected. namely, fo- Dorsey.
JUDGE NUNN's CHANCES.
Judge Nunn's chances seem to DO
best of all. He will go into the con-
vention with So votes. 1t is expected
that should Dorsey drop out he would
get his strength. Webster and HendeI-
son. 80 votes. making him So. He
still could not win, however, with
Cook in the race. Should Cook be
dropped Mum would in all probability
carry Christian county, which would
increase his strength to l04, leaving
him yet unable to win by votes.
1t is apparent that he will have to
have two votes from Lyon county, the
only county possible for him to get.
and it is said that he will get them,
one of his relatives being in the dele
CATION from that county.
On the other hand, he will have to
contend with possible combinations OF
the weaker candidates below the rivers
to beat him. As long as Cook il in
the race he cannot win With Cook

seems to encourage Dorsey's friends.

Charles w. Dorsey continued his ex-
ce"ent work yesterday in The Trib-
unes Educational Contest. He is in
eleventh place this morning, having
gone upward from fourteenth yester-
day. This young man is showing what
can be accomplished by ambition, ener-
gy and perseverance, he having made
his way almost from the bottom of the
list since July 1 and now is in a posi-
ton which, if maintained until the
close of the contest, puts him in line
for a scholarship worth s40O.
Miss Beatrice Harpur, of Thompson,
also made an advance yesterday. She
went from seventeenth to fifteenth
place with only two points. Although
there are seven young ladies in the
contest who have scored, Miss Harpur
seems to be the only one who can get
away from the bottom of the list. There
are twenty-seven scholarships open to
young ladies, but few seem to realize
the great benefits and advantages that
are theirs if they will only try just a
little bit.
Herbert Thompson, of Carbondale,
added some more to his total and re-
tanned his position, seventh. j. A. Ha-
venstrite. of MOSCOW, is again tied
with Homer Kresge for thirteenth
place.

FAIRLY RAINED PENNIES.
Result Of the Shortsightedness of a
Country Postmaster,

Scranton is the depository of seven
hundred fourth-class postof1ices in this
and ten adjoining or adjacent counties.
One of these seven hundred offices is
that situated at Granville Summit,
Bradford county. Every quarter these
| offices are required to transmit to the
postmaster at Scranton the proceeds of
the office, over and above the post
masters commissions and allowances.
July 1 is the beginning of the third
quarter, and the remittances are now
| coming in as fast as the postmasters
can figure out their accounts and mail
their surplusage.
A penny in-the-slot machine is one
of the side-lines of the postmaster's S
store. The pennies accumulated on him
| and he resolved to get rid of them by
sending them in to the government. In
the quarter just closed, the office had "a
| surplus of SIG. He wrapped up 2,6C0
pennies in a paper package, enclosed
the package in the regular niRi pouch,
hung it on it's accustomed scaffold at
the catch station, and waited the
coming of the fast mail.
The iron "arm" OH the side of the
mail car, which catches UP the mail
pouch, struck the pouch at a speed of
fifty miles an hour. The pouch wasn't
made to stand out against the resist
ance OF a solid package of 1900 pennies
against momentum of fifty miles AN
hour, and as consequence the pack
age of pennies tore through the pouch,
broke open and sent the pennies flying
hither, thither and Won.
1t fairly rained pennies until the train
was out OF sight, The postmaster, his
wife, two sons, daughter and two, of the
hired help spent two days hunting them
up. They succeeded in recovering all
except 696. The last pennies, the post
master AYERS, represents more than the
total earnings of the Office for a quar-
ter. Next time, he says, he will remit
in greenbacks.

KILLED BY AN ELEVATOR.
Sad Accident to Young Son Of Editor
2. w. GALLAGHER.

Edmund. the 13-year-old son of Edi-
tor p. w. Gallagher, of the Sunday
Free Press. met with terrible death
in The Tribune building yesterday at
noon.
With younger brother, Casimir, he
was spending the day with his father
in the latter's office, which is OH the
ground floor OF The Tribune building.
The father sent Edmund with copy to
the composing room on the second
floor, and Casmir went with him. The
younger boy thought to have ride in
the freight elevator, and ran into the
basement and started it up. 1t moves
very slowly. and as it was passing the
first floor Edmund attempted to get on
without waiting for it to be stopped,
as is always done by those having oc
casion to use 1t.
Just what next happened is not
clearly known, but it is supposed the
boy tripped, fell on the platform with
the lower part of his body protruding
through the doorway, and before he
could either crawl onto the platform or
drop back to the floor the elevator
platform reached the top of the door,
way and he was caught between the
The elevator continued upward for
nearly a yard, crowdng the unfortun-
ate boys body between the edge of the
platform and the brick wall of the
shaft, a space of only four inches.
There it wedged and pinioned the body
against the wall. SO lightly was the
body wedged against the wall that it
was necessary to dig out the brick
work for the space of half a square
yard to remove it. Death was prob
ably instantaneous, as the neck, back
and arm were broken.
Mr.. Gallagher was at work in his
office, only twenty-five feet away. when
the accident occurred. What grief he
suffered when the calamity was dis
closed to him, and while his boys body
was being eXtricated, is not for descrp-
ton.
Coroner Saltry was hastily summoned
and after viewing the body permitted
it's immediate removal to the family
home, on South Webster avenue. An
inquest will be held later.

A SOURCE OF REVENUE.
Money for Peddlers' Licenses Flow
ing Into City Treasury.

The city has derived comparatively
large amount Of revenue in the last
three months, from a source which
never before was productive of any
marked returns, because the ordinance
regulating 1t was never strictly en-
forced.
Over $4,000 has been paid into the
municipal treasury for peddlers' IL
censes, about three hundred of which
have been issued This sum as equiva-
lent to the revenues collected in the
last seven or eight years from ped
dlers' licenses, as the enforcement OF
the ordinance providing that all fruit
peddlers and hucksters pay from $40 to
SIS for license was never very ener-
getically attended 10.
Several arrests have recently been
made by Superintendent of Police l..
B. Day, of peddlers carrying on busi-
ness without showing the required
badge, which is given with every
license. This has resulted in an over
flow Of fruit vendors in Director OF
Public Safety Wormser's Office which
has kept Clerk Frank r. Reese con-
stantly busy filling out the necessary
permits. Fruit peddlers are charged
$40, and SIS is charged for a wagon
license. The same price is the rate for
temporary stands. Only three licenses
Of the latter nature have been issued.
