IN A POLITICAL WAY.

Samuel Platt of Carson will have bis
name presented to the Republican
State Convention as a candidate for At.
torney. General.
Carson Appeal: Now that the pri-
maries are over let us all quit knocking
some candidates and putting others. and
allow the convention to select good
Fusion ticket that we can elect from
top to bottom.
Virginia Report: The tireless energy
displayed by certain would-be leaders
of the Storey county Democratic and
Silver parties is causing alarm lest they
should collapse before the date of the
State convention, as they already dis
close unmistakable signs of weakening
under the heavy burden of self-imposed
responsibility. The seriousness with
which they take themselves causes con-
siderable humorous comment and re-
calls the fable Of Esop's fly sitting on
q chariot wheel exclaiming "see what

Carson News.
The Nevada Supreme Court has
handed down it's decision in the case Of
Taylor against the Nevada. California
& Oregon railway, running north from
Reno. Taylor was an engineer on the
road. and on more than one occasion
informed the proper official of the road
that his engine needed repairing and
was not safe. The official promised to
attend to the matter, but did not do so,
and later Taylor spoke to him again.
Nothing was done, and few days after
the accident came, which resulted in
permanent injury to Taylor and pre-
vents him from ever pursuing his voca-
tion as locomotive engineer. The jury
in the lower court allowed Taylor $l5.-
600 damages, and the railroad appealed
from the verdict. The Supreme Court
refuses 70 interfere, and Taylor will get
his money.
Carson News.
The News, q day or two ago, con.
tanned an account Of the pardon of Z.
B. Fuller. sent to the State prison from
Austin for seven years, and who was
psrdoned after serving ten months. 1t
has been asserted that he was railroad
ed into confinement. AT the same time
he Was sent 10 prison his wife was COM
mitted to the insane asylum, and Fuller
no more than gained his own liberty
than he began trying to secure that of
his wife.
DR.. Patterson, superintendent OF the
asylum, writes that the lady has shown
no symptoms of insanity since her con-
finement in the institution. and yester-
day she was discharged from the insti-
tuition, upon request of Attorney Rob-
erts, and husband and wife were united
again.
The case appears as though it iusti-
fed investigation by some higher au-
thority than exists in Lander county.
II the husband was actually railroaded
into the State prison, it is not impos-
sible that the wife was railroaded into
the asylum. Certainly it will do no
harm to investigate and if, as alleged,
MIR. Fuller and his wife have been
wrongfully branded, one with the term
in the penitentiary. and the other in the
asylum, there should be such shaking
up that ii will be remembered as long
as Nevada is q State.

The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-06-26

Attention is called elsewhere to the
fact that an erroneous impression has
gone abroad about Paducah's celebrat-
cd ice harbor, which brings here every
winter fully half million dollars
worth Of floating property, and re-
suits in the expenditure Of many
thousands OF dollars for supplies.
This impression is due to statements
that were misleading. Our ice harbor
is in NO danger, and Paducah will
offer q safe refuge for boats Of all
kinds for years to come. The wharf,
in case the two islands opposite the
city are ever washed away, may be
endangered by heavy ice during the
winter, but even this Is rather far
fetched. II a government engineer is
ever sent here to investigate the sup
posed dangers attending the disinte-
grafton Of the islands, it will doubt
less be seen how meagre are the
grounds for the present agitation.
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-06-26
An Erroneous Impression Seems to
Have Cotton Abroad About It.
II Is in No Danger-The Protection
Desired Is to the Wharf Of
the City.
NEEDS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

The reports Of Paducah's ice har Dor
being in jeopardy from the disintegra-
tion of the towhead and Owens Is
land, opposite the city, have resulted
in an erroneous impression having got
ten out in most of the river towns.
Many Of our steamboat men have
been asked in other cities what it
means. and to explain what powerful
agencies are at work to deprive Padu-
cab Of something that has long made
her famous as . safe harbor for floating
craft in the winter.
AS o matter Of fact, Paducah's ice
harbor is in no danger. The ice har-
Dor proper is located above the city,
where the Leyhe feet every year
makes its winter quarters. It cannot
be seen from the wharf, except that
portion on this side of Owens Island,
which 10 the same as it has been for
years, and will always be as safe as
now until the big island itself wears
away.
The present agitation is over the
fear that the gradual disappearance of
the small towhead opposite the city
will allow Toe in the Ohio river to be
swept against the boats at the wharf
here in winter. The towhead is get
ting smaller every year, and the foot
of Owens Island, Just above it, is
slowly but surely washing away.
IN the course Of dozen years or
more, it may be so that ice will drift
from the Ohio to the wharf and be.
come menace to boats, but at present
it is impossible and the bugaboo raised
is entirely unnecessary and has q
tendency to injure the town.
Captain Joe Fowler stated this
morning that what is desired is that .
dixie be built at the foot of the island
opposite the city, or . number Of old
fiatboats be sunk there, to prevent any
more of the islands being washed
away. This will cost all the way
from ss5, 900 to $50, 900, but its only
object will be to protect the wharf
and not Paducah's ice harbor, which
will be intact for many years to come,
II not as long as there is anyone here
TO use II.

DEPUTY GIVES INSTRUCTIONS

Mr.. @. @. Rose, the insurance stamp
deputy here, said this morning that
the commissioners will probably be
here shortly to rate tho local policy
holders. They have been expected all
the summer but have so much work
to do that their arrival was necessar-
lily delayed. The a5 per cent increase
has never been adjusted and this will
be acted on when they arrive.
Mr.. Rose says that he has ordered
all business firms having boxes stored
in the rear of their stores to. remove
the same or the rates will be raised.
There are many business houses locat-
ed 90 that there is no access to the
rear, and when boxes are stacked in
the back yards should fire orig
mate among them there would be
much difficulty experienced in extin-
gushing it on account of the firemen
having to work through the store
building. He will make another in
spection shortly and all firms who
nave not complied with his orders rel
alive to this point will have the rates
raised.
