~ menced in Michigan some twenty
I&sE1 eight years ago. Nothing had as
- yet developed in the career OF
the young man to indicate that he was
cut out for great political honors. Mr..
Cummlns was a surveyor and engineer. He
was assistant to the chief engineer of n
little railroad company engaged in laying
out a line Of railroad which has since be-
come a part Of the Michigan Southern. He
had not deliberately chosen engineering as
a profession, but he rather had drifted into
IL as a makeshift, all the time hoping and
expecting that some way would be opened
for a different career. OF necessity his
stay in Michigan was regarded by him as
temporary. He had come over from In
diana, where he had been engaged In rail-
road work. 1t was to this young civil en-
glneer that Miss Ida l.. Gallery gave hcr

Big MURDER CASE
II is Now on at Shawneetown,
illinois.
A Paducah Man Is One of the Impor-
tant Witnesses.

Mr.. Cellus Roark, OF the city, is an
important witness in the trial Of Hy
Hubbard, of Benton, Ill, charged
with the murder Of william Espy, his
life long friend and companion, and
for which he served 22 months sen.
tence in Chester, Ill, on . fourteen
year sentence.
The second trial has just opened in
Shawneetown, III. and Mr.. Roark was
summoned Tuesday. The murder was
committed at Benton, Ill, March IL,
1900. Hubbard was tried at the May
term Of the Franklin county circuit
court ia 1901, convicted and sem
fenced to prison for fourteen years.
He was granted new trial on aocou mt
of a bad record and by virtue Of a
change of venue. About 80 wit
nesses have been summoned and are
there. The entire day has been con-
sumed by the attorneys for the defense
in an attempt to qussh the indictments
on grounds that the grand jury which
indicted Hubbard was not legally
organized one. Out Of the 23 grand
jurors selected by the county board
two were unable to serve when the
proper time arrived, and by instruc-
tions of the court two substitutes were
selected. The defense introduced q
motion setting forth the argument
that the two substitutes were not le-
gally selected and contended that as a
result the indictment should b 9
quashed. After lengthy and very ex-
hsustive arguments we're made by
both sides the court, Judge e. E.
overruled the motion.

MORE CIVIC PRIDE NEEDED.

Paducah's progress is slow in some
respects, but sure. Il is rapid enough
to please some, but is painfully tedious
to the men who have lived in other
places, who realize the slothfulness
and lack Of enterprise and civic pride
of the people here, and the almost in.
estimable advantages Paducah has.
One great trouble with many of Psdu-
cabs best men is that they are short
sighted. They are so intent on looking
at the dollar before them that they
cannot appreciate the possibilities Of
wealth in the advancement and devel-
opment Of city so favorsbly situated
as Paducah.
What we need here are more manu-
factories. They bring capital and peo-
pie and mean large amount Of
money paid out and placed in circu-
lation every week. The more people
there are. and the more money spent,
the better will IL be for the merchants
who have something to sell They
should exert every effort TO help build
mp the city, for in building it up it is
building up their business.
A good way to induce new indus
tries and other people to come here is
by Offering them place in which to
live that is agreeable to them. In
the East, where most of the cities and
towns are modern in every respect,
and have sanitary sewerage, fine
streets and every other improvement,
is where most of the manufactures
that desire to move South are now To-
Gated. The Eastern people are not
used to a city that has system Of
sanitary sewerage that the inhabitants,
in their culture and refinement, do
not use except in very small proper
tion. They are not n the habit Of
seeing filthy water and slops run into
the cutters or thrown into the alleys,
as they are even in some Of the fash
ionable localities of Paducah. They
are not accustomed to seeing streets
that are full of holes and in dry
weather enveloped in clouds Of sitting
dust and in wet weather covered with
half foot of mud. They are not
used to seeing cows and horses roam.
ing about in the streets of a city.
And when they see this sort Of
thing rampant in city, 1t prejudices
them against il. II reduces the
chances OF that oity's getting them
as citizens. The people OF Paducah
should have more civic pride il they
expect to build up the city as it
should be and can be. We need bet
ter streets and more modern improve
ments. We have an ideal location
commercially speaking. but the peo-
pie must improve in civic prlue II they
expect PAducsh to grow ss she should.
