A FINE CATCH MADE
Alleged Safe Blowers in the Tolls in
Paducah.
They Had the Material Used in Blow
ing Safes-Chief Collins Is
Jubilant.
THEY WILL BE HELD

Chief Of Police James Collins Is
confident that he has two expert safe
blowers in the tolls. They were ar.
rested last night by Captain Henry
Bailey and Officers Harlan, CLARK and
Woods. On them were found soap,
candle, cotton ana nitro glycerine.
They are on the "yegmen" genus, APP
psrently, and Chief Collins stated to-
day that he had them under espionage
fer several days, ana was confident
that they contemplated job here last
night.
ITO tell the truth. D" he said TO re-
porter this morning, Il received infor.
mstion that / consider reliable that
they were going to crack safe last
night, and as we found we couldn't
watch them all the time we took
them in"
Chief Collins thinks they are the
men who cracked q safe at Confeder.
ate, Lyon county, near Eddyville sew
eral days ago and got away with some
pennies, stamps and money. They
were locked mp in separate cells, and
Chief Collins stated that he expects a
Cincinnati man here this evening to
identify them. They are doubtless
noted crook and safe blowers, and may
be valuable catch.
O'Neal claims to be from Louisville
and is about 40 years old. The other
man claims Memphis as his home and
is about 81. a mere boy.
They were arrested on the street
Among the various things found on
them were files, skeleton keys, lock
picks and complete burglar outfits.
Chief Collins will have warrant
issued against them for having bur.
glars tools in their possession, or some
other offense, in order 10 hold them.
He says he is certain Of much against
them, but must get the necessary evi.
denoe.
He says that there is regular or
ganization OF safe blowers and thieves
and that these men doubtless belong
to it, He expects some attorney to
turn up and defend them when their
trial comes off, and saws the attorney
himself never SHOWS where the mon
ey comes from, but the prisoners in
such cases are always looked after.

POOL TALKED OF NOW
How Some Of the Retail Grocers are
Saving Money.
Nothing But Talk Here Thus Far
The Plan Is Successful in
Some Places.
SAVES MIDDLEMAN's PROFITS

There is talk here but thus far moth
ing definite, of making an attempt &c
establish in Paducah mammoth
wholesale grocery, or supply house fol
the benefit of retailers but at present
no steps have been taken to do il. The
plan is in vogue in some of the larger
cities, and has proven profitable fol
the retail grocers as well as the pub
lie.
II the theory Is correct, such con
Germ would result in a large saving &c
the grocer. The plan is very simple.
Retail grocers cannot buy from the
factories, owing to the latter's agree
ment with the wholesalers. They
must buy from the wholesaler, while
il they could purchase from the facto
ry at wholesale prices, they could
save the wholesalers profits.
The plan, which has been successful
ly carried out in Cincinnati, is for q
number OF the large retailers to form
a big wholesale concern. with nc
stockholders outside of themselves.
This enables them to buy in large lots,
and when they do this, they can fur.
nish it TO themselves as retailers, at 9
slight advance and all the profits made
are their own, instead Of portion Of
going to the wholesaler. In short, II
means simply that they 90 into the
wholesale business as an auxiliary &c
their retail business.
Usually the number Of retail groc'
ers in the new concerns is from 20 to
so. In Cincinnati it has proven . sue
cess and now some OF the largest groo.
ers of Louisville have begun arrange
ments to insugurste it, and the plan
has reached here and been discussed
for some time, but no defipite steps
taken to do anything.
Some Of the larger grocers OF Oincin'
natl were among the first TO adopt the
idea of establishing a central supply
house, as such it is. Fifty leading
grocers entered into the arrangement
and results beyond anticipation fol-
lowed. Every grocer in the pool Sc
cured goods cheaper it Is claimed, and
the wholesale establishment had a
goodly profit at the end of the year s
dealings. The wholesale house will
buy direct from the makers of the
goods, pay cash and thereby secure a
jobbers discount. The retailer, who
has had to pay according to the small
amount he bought, will secure the
same limited supply at the reduced
rate. In some cities the plan has been
so successful that second pool has
been formed.

by the officer in command, a major.
At the close the major handed me a
packet of papers. and while 1 turned
them over with obstinate carefulness I
made my plans.
A glance showed what they were
vital revelations of the disposition and
strength of the German troops in the
routes and SO much of the plan of i'm

our staff.

The speech acted like bombshell.

A sharp order from his superior

me.

The effect of my words was electric
al. A brief, earnest consultation fol-

This is very extraordinary story,

"No; you may not. There are to be

and added-"with the writer of those"
The shot told, and the plea was ac-

| At that moment the third officer, who
had hitherto said nothing, whispered a
suggestion to the major, who nodded
acquiescence and sent him out Of the
| room.
"You will give your word to remain
| here Quietly?"
II see no reason for that" I said
sharply. 81 came voluntarily and am
not likely to run away"
| Nevertheless l must detain you," re-
turned the major peremptorily.

"By heavens, but the mans a spy, I
tell you" exclaimed the red captain
vehemently.
My blood took fire at this.
"You lie, siry' l cried in a voice of
passion, and l rushed forward and
struck him on the mouth.
"a thousand devilsp' he shouted and
was for whipping out his revolver, but
l was first and covered him.
"Try to draw that weapon and you're

meant it, too, as he read in my looks.
The major had not had time to inter-

you are. Your private quarrel you
must settle some other time"

Or by old houses pent.
Dear is its ancient scent
To folk that love the days forgot
Nor think that God is not.

For fever and for chill;
Rosemary, strange with dew,
For sorrow and its smart,
For breaking of the heart.

AS even the herbs must.
Oh, thought, and word, and deed!
Oh, unforgotten things,

Gone out of all the lands,
And yet safe in Gods hands;
For shall the dull herbs live again,
And not the sons of men?
