Yesterday Was a Busy Day at

It Will Probably be Made q Perma-
nent Station-Major Reid
Here.
BOYS LEAVE TOMORROW,

Yesterday was a busy day in the
local recruiting Office in the Columbia
building, and the best since its estab-
lishment in Paducah several months
ago. Five recruits were received and
Major Robert D. Reid, Of Louisville,
who was here on an inspection tour
was 80 much pleased that instead Of
closing the Office Thursday as was in
tended, there is some thought Of max
ing it permanent. 1t will continue
open for several weeks longer anyway,
and II as successful Is the indications
of yesterday promise that it may be-,
it will be made permanent.
The recruits received yesterday were
all Paducah men. They were: Will
liam E. Burgess, Ernest d. Leel
Clarence Ingram, Clarence 8. Powell,
Robert e. Jeffries. They will leave
tomorrow for Louisville, and three res
ceived several days ago. will 60 at the
same time. They are: John O.
Sergeant, and Bert Scarborough,
Paducah and Henry Jackson, Amirett,
MINI.
Major Reid returned to Louisville
early this morning. Sergeant High
tower, who has charge of the Office
here, deserves congratulation for its
recent success. He will remain in
charge of it if it is made permanent,
and the friends he has made since he
has been here, will be glad to have
him for a citizen Of Paducah.

BURGLAR ALARMS
And Other Electrical Devices
are Proposed
Western Union Will Install Them II 1t
Receives Sufficient Encouragement.

Manager K. Il. Roper, the hustling
local sgent for the Western Union Tel
egrsph company, is working up plan
for adding several fine improvements
in Paducsh. If he can secure sub
scribers enough he will install In the
local office fire alarm, burglar alarm,
and watchman's signal service, which
will enable all factories, banks, bust
ness houses and other places by having
wires into the telegraph Office to Sc
cure protection from burglars, fires
and sleepy or careless watchmen.
The burglar alarm is SO arranged
that the man kept on watch constant
ly in the company's office during she
night can tell il a burglary is attempt
cd and immediately despatch an off,
Ger constantly kept in readiness by the
company, to the scene.
The fire alarm Is arranged SO that
the discovery of blaze may result in
an immediate alarm to the Office. Tho
principal advantage in the latter is in
the reduction of insurance. rates, oom-
panies making big reduction where
such devices are installed.
The watchman's signal works some
thing similar to the call bells now op-
Grated by the telegraph companies,
and if Waterman does not pull the
call ut certain hours, an officer is at
once sent to learn if he is asleep or has
been injured. In Louisville q watch
man was thus found in time to keep
him from bleeding to death, having
been assaulted by burglars. At pres
emit about twenty here have agreed to
take the Waterman signals. which
makes it, at least, very probable.

ing Japan and Russia.
Fleets Being Modified By Both Ma
tions-Crisis Expected Soon.
WAR ALMOST CERTAIN.

London, Oct. 3i-The opinion that
war is at hand between japan and
Russia is well nigh universal Even
the Japanese minister, Baron Hayasi,
who all along has rather ridiculed the
idea of war, seems to have lost conf :
dence in the peaceful settlement of
the difficulties and while he does not
say he believes war is about to envel-
OPP his country, he indicates that such
q contingency is not impossible.
As usual there have been all sorts
of reports current, some of them from
sources usually reliable.
1t seems probable that Japan ia eth
er already mobilizing her army and
placing it on a war footing or is tag
ing the necessary preliminary steps to
do il and that her war feet is being
put into fighting trim.
Russia is said to be ncentrating
considerable bodies Of troops within
easy striking distance Of Corea so that
when the first overt act of war on the
part of the Japaneses, hall be in posi-
tion to act promptly and effectively.
Much interest centers in the move
ment of the fleets. for in all probabil.
ity the first fighting when the two
hostile nations come to blows will be
