Several Slick Thieves Arrested at

A lady complained that she left her
purse IN an Illinois Central sleeping

porter, was arrested ON suspicion, but
denied knowing anything about the
purse. When he was sesrchsd it was
found that he had cut the lining of
his coat ard concealed the purse and
he was held to the grand jury

receive more Of their thought than it
has heretofore. itN 1888 ~
The institution has been here for a
good number OF years and has done Q
good deal Of good work. However it
has never received the support it
should and at several times, but for
the assistance of one or two very lib
erSl men, the institution would have
been closed for lack of funds This
shouldn't be. Paducah should have n
branch of the Y. N. O. A. in keeping
with the city, a perfectly appointed
building and organization in every de-
tail. It will never have it, however,
until the citizens as body take an
interest in seeing that It has. A few
men have had TO bear the burden Of
the institution heretofore, but right
now a new order OF things should be
inaugurated--every man in the city
should come forward and subscribe to
Its equipment and maintenance. The
present secretary, Mr.. Hanna, has
done much TO strengthen the institu-
ton and is earnestly striving to do
more. The ladies of the city, too,
have given much assistance to il and
will give more. Let the men now,
old and young, contribute their share.
Tomorrow afternoon from 4 TO s the
ladies will give "silyer shower"
and wish sll their friends and all
friends Of the institution to attend.
An admission fee of 10 cents will be
charged and the proceeds from the
entertainment go to the Y. M. O. A.

that the branch has been able to keep
things going, and it behooves all
