NO CONTEST
TALK OF ONE IN PADUOAH Is
ALL BUNCOMBE.

There will be no contest or any
techninality by Republican candidates
for any city office. 1t has been report.
ed that Mr.. JET J. Read, the Repub-
lioan candidate fer mayor. would
contest on the grounds Of Mayor
Yeiser's alleged ineligibility. Mr..
Read stated today that he would do
nothing of the kind. The possibility
Of such a contest Is probably what
started the rumor. Mr.. Read ran .
good race. in fact about the best that
Republican ever ran in Paducah.
and states that he 10 beaten and 10 not
the kind to take 1t any further.

PUBLIC CONTRACTS.

Paducah is on the eve of . big boom,
II indications count for any thing. As
shown elsewhere, nearly half . mil
lion dollars will be expended here next
year for public improvements, and it
bshooves the gentlemen who have been
elected to serve the people in the o.
Iacity Of legislative and executive Off
osfs. TO see that the money is we'll
spent and that none OF it 10 wasted.
One of the greatest menaces to the
people who are directly and indirectly
10 furnish the money for these extern
sive improvements, is that Of CRAFTS.

con the graft system should continue.
II should be understood, however, as
one of the larger journals in the city
said the other day, that there are ls-
ultimate as well as illegitimate gratis.
There are honest gratis and dishonest
crafts. whether honest or otherwise,
is usually that the people have to pay
for something they do not get.
A new system of doing public work
in Paducah should and must be adopt
cd il the gentlemen in Office expect to
give the taxpayers the service they de-
serve and expect. Public work should
be done promptly and we'll and oom-
pleted within the time prescribed by
law. If the work Ut the end Of that

reason, the boards should refuse an
extension of time and collect the PEN

ate effect. In the past contractors have
been known to take every public con-
tract that came along. firm in the as

WHITE MEN HIS ASSAILANIs

One Of the most complete holdups
ever reported to the police was report
cd this morning early by a. X. Ends
ley, a barber, who was held mp in the
vicinity OF Maiden Alley on Kentucky
street, this morning between and 4
O'Clock, and robbed Of els in money,
his coat. vest, hat, shoes and even
his suspenders.
The victim of the robbery was
brought to the police station this
morning to give an account Of the rob
berry and although he had been drink
ing . little was able to give . clear 90.
count Of his experience. He looked
like an independents candidate after an
election in Paducah.
He was in . pisisblc condition, the
result Of violence on the part OF the
hiehwsymen.
According 10 Ends.ey's story he had
gone to the New kichmond hotel 10
60 to sleep. but sftes sitting in the
rotunda few minutes decided to 20
out and secure . private boarding
house. He arrived from Fulton yes
terday morning and had taken his
meals at . restaurant, having the de.
oision Of . lodging house for later In
the evening. He wss en- route to .
boarding house on the South Side when
he reached Maiden alley on Kentucky
street and il was here that two men
came out Of the alley and aocosted
him. They grabbed him from behind.
one choking him and threatening vio-
lenoe II he made any outcry. After
they had cut his pockets they took his

cided to strip him Of his suspenders
and in q jiffy had them OF their vic.
tim.
Endsiey says they threw him down
while they disrobed him and while he
saw them both and recognized them a.
white men he thinks he will be able 10
identify one only.
Endsley finally broke loose and ran
to a nearby saloon and went mp into
the hallway for protection. After thor
oughly satisfying himself that the
highwaymen were gone he teiephoned
the police from the saloon.
Endsley is . barber by trade and
worked here three years ago for Dad.

and is we'll known. He was seen early
in the night by the Broadway patrol.
men who stated that he was NOT too
drunk then to be considered safe, and
that he WAS we'll dressed when they
saw him. At the hall this morning
the unfortunate victim presented quite
q different appearance. He had on
low cut rubbers, an Old SLOUGH hat, no
coat or vest and his collar and cuffs
were gone and his shirt bespattered
with blood. His neck was badly
chaffed and skinned where be had been
ehoked and his face and hose were bad.

highwaymeu struck him. The officers
