There is temporary hitch in the
Panama Canal proceedings. The
Colombian Congress hesitates about
ratifying the treaty. The senate
recommends that the treaty be
amended in the interest of Colombia.
They demand a larger indemnity
than that offered by the United
States, want to retain sovereignty
over the territory through which
the canal is to run and to restrict the
management in number of particu-
lars. Those Colombian statesman
lack discretion. There can be but
little doubt but that they want the
United States to build the canal and
yet by their avaricious demand their
proposition will act as bar to the
building of that desirable waterway.
BY accepting the treaty they get
$Io,ooo,ooo, cash in hand, and a
large sum annually in the nature OF
a rental. In rejecting the treaty
they get nothing and lose the posi-
bility of ever getting a canal across
their territory, for if the United
States builds the Nicaragua canal
there will never be another across
the isthmus. There is a probability
that the Panama canal will be con-
structed by the United States, Co
lombia Of the contrary opinion not
withstanding. The state of Pana-
ma is DESTROYS that the canal should
be built and it is likely that state will
secede from the union and set up fol
itself. In which case the canal
would cost us no $Io,ooo,ooo as &
concession for the right to build
Panama would even give bonu:
for its construction, or perhaps ap
ply to become part of the United
States,

1t is frequently remarked that
barns are more liable to be struck
by lightning than dwelling houses.
Generally there are one or two rea-
sons why barns are more liable to be
hit. The barn is generally the tall
er building, but probably the princi-
pal reason why it is more generally
struck than the house is the volume
OF yapor arising froig the hay inside.
Hay put in the barn from the mead
ow will not weigh out in the winter
more than three-fourths of its weight
when put in. This vapor rising
from the new hay makes good
conductor for lightning.

One of the most distinctive evil
dences of prosperity in the United
States is the expansion of the cur
rency. On the Ist of August, 1903,
according to statement of the
treasury department there was in
the country $2,oo5,44o,I74, a gain
of $7,2oo,553 in one month, and of
$I2I,o 100000 in the past year. The
per capita circulation now is $2o.55
as against $2I.Io in 1896.

An exchange says that half of fif-
ty families who emigrated from
Christian county, Illinois, to Mani

They say the climatic conditions are
intolerable and they do not wish

method of feeding: Mix a.bushel of

necessities of any particular case.
This mixture is to be fed three times
a day, after being mixed with peck
of chopped hay or straw. Com

It is commended as being much bet

In 1893 our trade with Porto
Rico was $3,7oS,ooo and previous
to that date it was seldom more than
that sum for any year. Now the
amount of trade between Porto Rico

people witnessed the coronation OF

The newest get-rich-quick scheme
has been devised by Scientist y
Rudolph M. Hunter. He wants to
start a 'strust" to monopolize his
new industry which is to make gold
out of silver. He says he can make
$40 worth of gold out of one silver
dollar. Now that looks foolish. A
silver dollar is worth 100 cents, and
in making gold out of this silver
dollar the dollar is lost. Why don't
he make gold out of dirt, sand
pebbles, stones or buffalo chipss II
won't be SO expensive.

LEWIS WAS HAPPY.
ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE CASES
OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

James Lewis, colored, would doubt
less hav gone to the penitentiary for
robbery he never committed had
not Will Roberts, alias Mann, confess
ed to the police Saturday night, as
told elsewhere. Lewis was held over
several days ago, and when released
from jail was one of the hsppiest me-
groes in the city.
His case is another one of those that
go to show how easily mistaken a man
may be. Motorman Coleman, who
was robbed, positively identified Lewis
as one of the robbers, even describing
the seams in his coat, and yet the mo-
torman was mistaken. Lewis has no
redress for his Imprisonment except to
sue Coleman, and he would get moth
ing if he did, as the motorman has no
property.

SOMETHING DOING
Evansville Man Wanted to Stand
Before Jeffries.
Champion Declines But Fitz Takes
Him On-The Pugilists
Get Busy.
Get Busy.
BOTH GOT MAD SATURDAY

James J. Jeffries. who was in Padu-
cab with Bob Fitzsimmons Friday
night, offered s250 in Evansville to
any man who would stand before him
four rounds Saturday night. They
left here at noon Saturday and reached
Evansville early in the evening.
George weikel agreed to spar with
him, but Jeffries refused to meet him.
Fitzsimmons, however, took weikel
on for three rounds, but couldn't put
him out.
IL seems that the gentle roasts from
the press in regard TO the tame affair
which the champion and ex-ohampion
put up at their exhibitions are having
their effect and the pugilists are
awakening to the realization that
there will have TO be something doing
or the people will quit raging to see
them. Saturday night in Eva nsyille,
according to the reports, Jeffries got
q severe out over the eye from Fitz
and got mad, making a rather vicious
fight, which Fitzsimmons returned
with interest.

Plans Being Drawn for Larger Ad-
dltion Here.
The Illinois Central Machine shops
10 be Made q Third
Larger.
GOOD NEWS FOR PADUOAH

The Illinois Central railroad ma
chine shops here will be increased TO
one-third the present capacity within
the next few months and the news
will be received with much pleasure
by the public in general, as this will
settle the report which gains currency
frequently that the shops will be re-
moved from Paducah.
Last week the Dimensions of the
machine. shops were taken by a
draughtsman, who will begin the
work Of drawing plans for the new adj
ditions Immediately, and within the
week the plans will have been COM
pleted and ready for delivery to the
contractors who will bid ON the work.
The new additions will be made on
the west end and on the northwest
side of the shop and will increase the
capacity one-third. Twenty new
machines have been ordered for the
shop. it is understood, and will be
here by the time the work ON the
building has been completed. On the
west end five pits or stalls will be
added, making a total Of fifteen pits.
The shop at present can accommodates
only ten engines at one time, having
only that number Of pits, but when
the improvements are completed the
shops will have five new pits and
twenty new machines, which will OF
course mean the employment Of many
| more machinists the season around.
On the northwest side strip TWEEN
ty feet wide and the entire length Of
the building will be added, which viii
carry the building nearly to the black
smith shops. The addition of the five
pits will carry the end of the building
to the woodworking department.
where box cars are repaired.
The railroad people have been going
about the work quietly and had re-
quested sll who were employed in
planning the improvements to keep
the matter quiet. The report reached
the ears of a reporter this morning
and an invest igation brought out the
above facts.
Every year or two q report is start
ed to the effect that the Psducah shops
will be removed from the city, but
these improvements and the rebuild
ingof the woodworking shops, which
burned two years ago, will confirm
the officials constant depisl of such
reports.
The work on the improvements will
begin when the building season opens,
and will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. The estimated cost of the i'm
provements, for machinery and the
building proper, amounts to many
thousands of dollars, but the exact
amount cannot be told until the con-
tractors have placed their bids and the
foundry companies have made prices
ON the machinery.
