CANDIDATES AND
WOULD-LIKE-TO-BES
LIST OF THOSE WHO rIAY RUN
FOR GOVERNOR
A PREMATURE OPENING
That the Successful Can
didate Has Not Yet En-
tered the Race.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. pa hue and
cry is being set up In several parts OF
the state against the early opening of
the campaign for Governor and con-
sequent formation of minor political
alliances.
The argument is being st rongly ad-
vanced that the fight ought to be drop
ped until next February at least, and
that the candidates who are now in
dustriously engaged in touring the
State should go home and behave
themselves until it is the proper time
to launch the fight. Whether or not
the opposition of the people to prema-
ture politics will have the desired
effect cannot be foretold at present,
but it is likely to throw cold water
on the aspirations of some Of the can
didates of the early bird and worm
variety. General feelers have been
thrown out by prospective candidate-
during the past week, and the list of
candidates, actual and would like TO
be, is as follows:
Judge F. A. Ortiz. of Clay.
Prof. A. A. Kincannon, of Lowndes.
State Senator FL. F. Noel, of
Holmes.
Major James K. Vardaman, of Le-
fore.
Lieut-Gov. J. H. Harrison, of
Lowndes.
Circuit Judge J. Fl. Neville, of Har-
rison.
Gen. Wiley H. Nash, of Oktibbeha.
Judge Thomas B. Woods, of Lau-
derdale.
Hon. A. c. May, of Simpson.
Circuit Judge W. f. Stevens, of
Carroll.
In some quarters the intimation is
being rather broadly asserted that the
man who will occupy the gubernator-
ial chair during the next term has not
yet been mentioned in connection with
the office, and this is taken as an in
dication that clark horse'' is yet to
be brought out.

SEWERAGE EXTENSION.
THE CITY TO BE ASKED TO EN-
TEND TO THE NEW SCHOOL.

Chairman weille, of the building
committee of the board of education,
will ask the city at the next meeting
of the council to extend the sanitary
sewerage to the new school building
on West Broadway. Under the third
class charter no sewerage could be
built except by districts. Under the
second class charter the sewerage can
be extended a block at time, if de.
sired, just as streets are.
1t is said that there will be opposi-
ton to the move, although most of the
property owners are willing to have
the extension made. as some of the
councilmen own property along the
line and do not want to pay the as
sessments.

The statement was made for the pur-
pose of throwing discredit on the city
council of Owensboro. This has been
the course of this disreputable news
paper at all times When its atten-
tion was called to the misstatement it
refused to correct it. The sprinkling
of the streets in Owensboro was an
inestimable boon. The tax levied was
3 cents per foot on all property where
the streets were sprinkled, which in

BOYS ARRESTED

Two Boys in the Lookup and Others Prob
ably Will be Before Night.

Officer Tom Orr thinks he has solved
the mystery Of the Hart burglaries,
committed fow months ago, in which
a humber of fine rnzors, knives. pis-
tolls and other things were stolen.
Several times George o. HATS hard-
ware store on Broadway near Third

the same class OF goods was taken.
The other day Officer Orr learned
where boy had sold 50 razor for so
cents and began investigating. he
learned that it was one of Harris, and
after dilligent work, found where two
or three razors, five or six knives and
an ivory handled pistol were sold by
boys. They were all identified by Mr..
Hart, and two boys, Roy Beatty and
Earl Halstead, were arrested this
morning by Officer Orr and Acting Mar
shall Collins. Each accuses the other,
but the officers believe that the thefts
can be traced to q gang Of boys. Sew
eral others are under suspicion. Judge
Sanders ordered the boys arrested

velopments.

AN EXPENSIVE FIGHT OVER A CAT.
Lawsuit That Promises to become a
Celebrated Case.

,An8
A dispute as TO the ownership OF a
cat has reached the state circuit court
in Sioux Falls. s. d.. and It promises
to become as noted as the celebrated
Iowa calf case. says an exchange.
Ole Finstand and wife claim to have
loaned the cat to Mrs. Lewis, a neigh
Dor. for the purpose OF Kidding her
house OF rats. Mrs. Lewis afterward
declined to return the animal. and the
claimants asserted that she had ap-
propriated Il to her own use, and was
holding 1t by force OF arms. contrary
to the statute. Finstad tried to regain
possession OF the cat by force OF
arms. contrary to the statute. Finstad
tried to regain possession Of the cat
by force. and Mrs. Lewis had him ar
rested for assault and battery. A
justice imposed a fine upon Finstad,
but the defendant refused to pay 1t.
and appealed the case to the circuit
court. Thus far $50 In costs have been
charged up TO the county in settling
the ownership OF the cat. and this
promises to mount up into the thou
sands before the case Is terminated.
The cat is an ordinary one and
would not bring over fifty cents on
the market.

ANOTHER SALARY AFFAIR.

1t may be that the city clerks
duties have become more arduous
since the city went into the second
class, but it is difficult to understand
how. A great deal Of the work. and
it is chained the hardest work, is
taken of the hands of the clerk by the
auditor But whether more difficult
or not, there is nothing to compel any
man to hold the job if he doesn't
want it. The aldermen, apparently,
have decided that they cannot leg
ally raise the clerks salary, which 1t
was first suggested be done, and have
recommended that a deputy be APP
pointed and paid $500 year. This is
merely an evasion OF law. 1t is
transparent, and will be just as illegal
as to increase the salary during the
clerks term of Office. There is no
provision in the charter for deputy
clerk. to be paid extra by the city,
and the city officials have no more
right to give the city clerk deputy
at an extra salary of $500 year than
they have to give every official in the
city deputy at an extra salary. If
such thing were legal, there would
be no limit to the evil that might
result when INSCRIPTIONS men get
into office. They could create new
offices for their friends under the
pretense of appointing deputies"
without end, and by paying them ex-
ira. impose unlimited expense on the
tax payers. If deputies are appointed,
they are paid by the official himself,
not by the city. There is only one
thing to be done in the clerks salary
question, and that is to pay the salary
fixed by law. There are plenty COM
petent men who would be glad to have
II at that price.

PADuOAH LAGs.

There is no reason why Owensboro
should improve her streets every year
and gradually become a metropolitan
town and Paducah should not. We
need it worse than Owensboro, and it
could be done here just as easily II the
people elected to Office had sufficient
enterprise and progressiveness.
About the only apparent improve
ment made during the last Democratic
administration in Paducah was four
blocks OF brick street, and this hasn't
been paid for yet because it was such
a botch job. Here is what Owensboro
has just completed More than ten
miles Of good streets, where there
were none before. A mile and a quar-
ter of this work is of asphalt, and the
remainder is Of macadsm, all with
concrete gutter and curb. Thirteen
miles of fine sewer has been put under
the streets. The total amount expend-
ed has been little more than s240, 600
and the time in which the improve
ments were made, eighteen months.
At the rate such improvements have
been made in Paducah in past years
it will require about eighteen years
instead Of eighteen months to get as
much here.
