The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1903-06-24

The Democrats are never satisfied
unless they are squabbhng. There,
for instance. are two of the recent
candidates for the Democratic nomi-
nation for commonwealth attorney
IN this district still fighting over the
nomination, and one charges that the
other had the ballot boxes stuffed.
Surely no pemocrat would do such a
shing, especially against another
Democrat. The contest, however,
could probably have been STAYED off.
IL is understood that the defeated can
didate offered not to contest if the two
Offices Of city attorney and prosecuting
attorney Of Paducah were consolidated
and kindly given to him in November
As this is easier said than done, it il
perhaps not difficult to understand
why his proposition was not accepted
but ). Isa pity the contest was not
stopped before it causes hard feelings

"Do not be angry" cried the count
ess impatiently. 1--WE all regret what
has happened, and l. for one, hope that
Mr.. Lorry may escape from the tower
and laugh forevermore at his pursuers.

ward the speaker as new thought en-.

voluntary gasp told that it had lodged
and would grow. She laughed at the
idea of an escape from the tower, but
as she laughed a tiny spot of red began
to spread upon her cheek and her eyes
glistened strangely.
Anguish remained with them for half
an hour. When he left the castle, it
was with a more hopeful feeling in bis
breast. In the princess bedchamber
late that night two girls in loose silken
gowns sat before low fire and talked
of something that caused the countess
to tremble with excitement when first
her pink checked sovereign mentioned
it in confidence.

THE SINGING BULLET.-"Don't be
afraid of bullet that you've heard
whistle" said an old soldier. IF 1t
sings in your ear rest assured that 1t
will never harm you. It Is a fact, as
any old soldier will tell you, that you
never hear the bullet which hits you.
1t is a problem Of 'windage,' as the
boys in the army called it. In other
words, the bullet which you hear sing
has already sped past you and the bull
let which hits you has Kissed In the
ear of some other fellow in passing
before it got to you. 1t is simple
proposition, after all. The singing Of
the bullet Is the atmosphere vibration
which is created and the resistance
which the air offers to the progress of
the bullet. This cannot be detected by
the ear until the bullet has crossed
parallel line with the ear. 1t may sail
over your head or whiz close to the
ground, but If it passes you at all the
ear will catch the sound Of It's flight.
To the soldier Of many battles the
voice Of the bullet is music. He knows
that he need have no dread of the bull
let that sings in his ears. 1t Is the
bullet that he does not hear that must
be feared and it Is this bullet which
always brings harm to him. No SOL
dier ever heard the bullet which inf1ic-
| ted a wound on him."-New Orleans

ACQUIRING A soN.IN.LAW.
Reporter Became Book Seller to Win
Girl He Loved.

SlfI no LoV0os
Everybody in Wall street knows Le-
vi c. Lathrop, banker and broker, says
the New York Press. His daughter,
prettiest girl on the West Side, was
caught in the act of accepting the at
tentions Of young newspaper man.
! Papa Lathrop, greatly surprised, sum-
moned the pair before him and after
Solomonizing acutely learned that the
youth had had the audacity to propose
marriage to his daughter. Sending the
girl from the room, he sounded the boy
deeply as to his habits, hopes and A.
nancial prospects. Being a manly
young fellow, the reporter said he was
making about SIG week, did not
drink, smoke or chew, did not gamble,
liked hard work and was ambitious;
and that no matter what happened he
was going to marry Miss Lathrop.
This kind Of talk rather pleased the
"old man." He told the youth to see
him next day. That night he talked to
his daughter.
You children seem desperately In
earnest" he said when the lover called
on him at his Office. II like you we'll
enough to let you have her, but don't
like your financial prospects. I doubt
If you ever will be able to earn enough
in the newspaper business to support
her decently. I'll make you propo-
sition. You take a good look around
New York and see II you can find any
sort Of business you would like to go
into. I am not particular so long as
it Is honorable, and with your ideas Of
right and wrong you will do the prop
er thing. Report to me at the end Of
the week. If you find anything that
suits, learn what you can about 1t, how
long it has been established, whether
1t has been prosperous, etc. Then we
shall proceed further II we think it
wise"
The young man reported that he had
found cheap price book shop in Cort-
landt street, owned by a quaint char
acter Of the name of Rohde, the man
with the straw hat" and that he
thought he would as lief be book
seller as anything else outside Of jour-
nalism. I'VE will look into It," said
Mr.. Lathrop, which he Immediately
proceeded to do. Rohde showed an ex-
cellent balance sheet, and convinced
him that with additional capital the
business could be made very success
full A half interest was bought for
5000 and handed over to the report
er. Get right down to work and
show what's in you," said the banker.
LET me have an accounting every
month. Well discuss the affair be-
tween you and my daughter later" In
six months the "old man" was 80
pleased that he allowed the wedding
to take place. and now Henry Stanley
Haskins and the man with the straw
hat" have moved across the street in
to one of the finest book stores in New
York, where they are coming money.
And everybody Is happy. But what a
father-in-law to have!

CHAPTER XVII.
rN THE TOWER

~HE two captives who were not
prisoners were so dazed by the
unexpected events Of the morn
ing that they did not realize the
vast seriousness Of the situation for
hours. Then it dawned upon them that
appearances were really against them
and that they were alone in land far
beyond the reach Of help from home.
One circumstance puzzled them with
its damning mystery: How came the
blood stains upon the doorknob? Dan
gloss courteously discussed this strange
and unfortunate feature with them, but
with i'll concealed skepticism. 1t was
evident that his mind was clear IN re-
gard to the whole affair.
Anguish was of the opinion that the
real murderer had stained the knob In
tentionally. aiming to cast suspicion on
the man who had been challenged. The
assassin had an object in leaving those
convicting finger marks where they
would do the most damage. He either
desired the arrest and death Of the
American or hoped that his own guilt
might escape attention through the
misleading evidence. Lorry held, from
his deductions, that the crime had been
committed by fanatic who loved his
sovereign too devotedly to see her we'd
ded to Lorenz. Then why should he
wantonly cast guilt upon the man who
had been her protector. objected Dan
gloss.
The police guards came In from the
hotel about 10 o'clock, bearing marks
Of an ugly conflict with the Axphaini-
ans. They reported that the avengers
had been quelled for the time being,
but that a deputation had already
started for the castle to lay the matter
before the princess. Officers had
searched the rooms of the Americans
for blood stains. but had found no sign
Of them.
"Did you find bloody water in which
hands had been washed?" asked An
guish.
"No." responded one Of the guards.
There was nothing to be found In the
bowls and jars except soapy water.
There is not blood stain in the room

''That shakes your theory a little,

anime Mr.. Lorry's hands and see II
there is blood upon them" Lorry's
hands were white and uncontaminated

veyed to Her Brother.
Here Is an interesting, II somewhat
Creepy" story which reaches us from
correspondent upon whose good faith
we can rely. A certain young lady
whom we will call Mary A., was re-
covering from illness. The doctor had
declared her to be out Of danger, and
her friends and relatives were rejoic-
| ing in the fact. Nevertheless, Miss A,
receiving visit one day from a sister,
gravely assured her that she was go
ing to die. The sister poohpoohed the
idea and treated it as an invalid's fan
cy. Miss A., however, with the utmost
calmness, repeated her statement. She
was certain that she would die that
night and begged her sister to fetch
her parents and other relatives to say
good-by. Thinking to humor her, the
sister complied. One person was alb
sent from this strange family gather
ing-a brother, who was at sea and
was expected home in week or two.
But 1t does not matter" Miss A.
quietly observed. II saw him last
night in a dream and said good-by to
him in his cabin" Before the sun rose
again Miss AS prediction had come
true; she was dead. That, however, Is
not the strangest part Of this weird
story. When in due time the sailor
brother reached port he was met by
his other sister who began to tell him
the sad news. "Ah," he interrupted,
You need not tell me! Mary is dead.
knew it, for she came to me one
night in my dreams and told me she
was going to die and wanted to say
good-by" On comparing dates 1t was
found that the dreams were dreamed
on the selfsame night.-London News.

A BIG CANAL.
Thirty-TWo Miles From Carson River

Thirty-Two Miles From Carson River
to the Sink.
The San Francisco Examiner Of /
Wednesday, contains the following:
The $996,7S7 contract the United
States Goernment has entered into
with G. A. Warren and the San Fran /
cisco Construction company of this !
city for the construction of irrigation
works in Nevada arrived here yester-
day. 1t will be signed by the local
people before the end of the week and
a few days later they will put a small
army of men and lot of teams 20
work on the big job. The contract is
the first Of a number of large irriga-
ton canals the Federal authorities
will build for the reclamation of the
arid wastes in Nevada.
Messrs. Warren, Buchanan and their
associates of the local contracting
firm are to construct canal thirty
two miles long, fifty-three feet wide
at the top, twenty-one feet wide at
the bottom and fourteen feet deep. 1t
will be capable of carrying a volume
of l 400 cubic feet of water second.
The canal will start from a point on
the Truckee river about thirty miles
east of Reno and run eastward four
teen miles close to the Central Pacific
road, and when near WadswOrth will
run southeasterly to the Carson sink,
level, waterless tract about sixty
miles in diameter.
1t is figured that fully 100000 acres
of agricultural land in the Truckee
and Carson valleys will be created by
this important work. The Government
plans to have settlers take this land
in 80 or 160-acre tracts under home
stead claims. All the water desired to
be supplied by the Government from
the canal at the rate of 81 per acre
annually. The proposed reclamation
district should. in the opinion of the
authorities. easily support populat
ion of $4,000

Were They Convicts?

Escaped convicts are scattered all
over this part of the State if reports
are correct. Deputy Constable McMan-
us is quite sure that one of them spent
last Tuesday in Ryndon and word
comes from Wells that two of them
ate supper at restaurant there last
Saturday evening. AS the story goes
two men went into the restaurant
and ordered supper. They then held
a whispered conversation and one II
them left the table ana stood guard st
the door The other finished his meal.
While he was eating, the woman VINO
waited on him noticed that he had a
revolver in his lap. Constable Moore
came and looked at the men and went
away When the man finished his sup
per he paid for the meals and he and
his companion left town. This is the
story as the Independent learned it
and it may or may not be true. One
thing is pretty certain, however. and
that is that reports from Winnemucca
