Major Buck Says Paducah and
Murray Excel.
They Have the Best Military Compa-
MES in the State Of
Kentucky.
ARRIVE
UNIFORMS

This morning Captain James Cald-
well, of the Wheeler Guards, received
a letter from Major Buck, who recent
ly inspected the military companies of
this state, saying that Paducah and
Murray had the best companies in the
state. This is good news to the local
members Of the company and the pub
lie should feel proud that the home
boys have done so we'll
This morning the Khaki uniforms
arrived and were taken out by Lieu
tenant Jesse Moss and will be worn at
the next drill. These uniforms are
made Of canvas and are for summer
wear. They cost about 5000.
Tomorrow morning Lieutenant Moss
will go to Murray to complete arrange
ments for the big sham battle between
the local company and the Murray
militia. This will be an event of i'm
portsnce and will probably draw large
crowds from all over the state. This
will take place on the 4th of July ct
Wallace park or the fair grounds.
Captain Caldwell and his officers, as
we'll as the members of the Wheeler
Guards, should and doubtless do, feel
proud of the distinction they have
won. There are many good compa-
mics of experienced men in the state,
but Captain Caldwell has been strict
with his men and compelled them TO
attend drill regularly and is now reap
ing some of the good results of the
discipline, and the boys see that they
have profted greatly by their cap
tain's firmness.

Great Interest in Decision of
the Grievance Committee.
Members will Not Talk, But There
Are Tips Going Around Just
the Same.
THE OUTCOME is UNCERTAIN

A great deal of interest is being
manifested among people Of all classes
as TO what will be the decision of the
grievance committee Of the board of
education, Trustees Mattison, Nam
men and BockmoD, who recently sat
as a court and heard the charges
against Prof. O. B. Hatfield, superin-
tedent of the schools. The committee
is to file its report tonight at called
meeting of the board at the high
school building, which will be public,
The board as a whole then acts on the
report, accepting or rejecting it.
The three members Of the commit
tee have been very reticent about
what they will report, but it is said
have let out enough to justify the
guess that at least . portion of the
charges will be declared sustained,
although il is not believed the com.
mittee will find the infractions suffi-
cient to Justify any further action.
As to the final outcome of the
school muddle there are various
rumors. It is said that seven Of the
members Of the board, since seeing the
state of feeling among teachers and
pupils and superintendent of the
schools, have decided that some sort
of change is necessary for the good Of
the schools. One man who is an
ardent supporter of the superintendent
is alleged to have said that he is for
q new superintendent, if only for the
reason that he believes it is best under
the circumstances. All the members
of the board seem TO be staunch
friends of the present superintendent,
but one is alleged to have said: "We
have the utmost confidence in the
ability of Supt. Hatfield, and are al
his friends, but ON account Of the
condition we learn prevails in the
schools | believe it is case of getting
new set of teachers or a new super.
intendent, and it is up to ne to say
which"
There is now only one applicant fol
tine superiutendeucy, Prof. NJ. NJ.
Fanghenden of Elkton, Todd county,
but friends of Prof. Cheek of Morgan
field say that he will be an applicant,
and supt. Hatfield's friends say that
he will apply for reelection.

Is the Verdict Awaited in the
- Jett-White Murder Cases.
This Morning Lawyers Call Each
Other Liars and Trouble
Is Averted.
THE ARGUMENTS ARE NOW ON

Jackson, N.Y., June l7-Trouble
was narrowly sverted this morning
during the argument Of the Jett White
murder case, between b. b. French
and Judge Blanton, opposing attor-
neys. the lie being passed. Judge Rcd
wine interfered and prevented trouble.
There is a secret fear that the murder
cases will end like the arson cases
ended yesterday by the defendants 60
ing free.
: A brother Of Judge Hargis told q
squad of soldiers that Captain Even
burned his own house to cast suspi-
cion on his brother Judge Hargis, but
the soldiers promptly informed him
that Captain Even was then in camp,
. mils way, and his family narrowly
escaped from the FIRE.
II Is stated by these who will talk
even secretly on the matter that the
grand jury wns composed Of residents
Of Bresthitt county, drawn by those
who are identified with the dominant
faction, and all were connected wi tn
II, and that no indictments for any
thing were expected from jury drawn
in this county. but that the Jurors in
the case of Curtis Jett, and Thomas
White are from another county, and
for that reason a verdict Of conviction
may be possible
Since the defense closed its testimo.
ny there Is great interest in anticipa-
tion Of the charge that Judge Red
wine will give to the jury after the
arguments are concluded. IL is be-
lieved that the verdict will greatly de.
pend upon what the Judge says before
the jury retires.
There is much comment upon the
testimony offered by the defen se, espe-
cislly that Of Judge Hsrgis and Sher-
in Callahan, who were standing across
the street when Marcum was killed in
tne courthouse.
When the commonwealth closed its
testimony last week 1t was announced
that IL was because other witnesses
could not be obtained. among them
being John Smith and John Abner,
who were charged with being in the
conspiracy with the defendants TO get
Mareum out Of the way. The troops
chased all over the mountains to find
these witnesses for the prosecution,
but they were in hiding then and
could not be secured. IL was noted
that they were ON hand for the defense
today Of their own accord, and denied
emphatically the statements in the
afiidavits Of Marcum and Moses Felt.
neT regarding the plcts and efforts to
get Marcum out Of the way.

The talk OF the Wabash railroad
abandoning the idea Of coming to Pa
duoah and making connection here
with the q. & ST. L. and going to
Metropolis instead. because of the re-
ported change of ownership Of stock,
is all bluff. Work is still going ON

Doctors Hold Out No Hope for His
Recovery, Although Tie Rallied.

License Inspector J. NJ. Ezell, one
Ct Paducah's best known citizens, is
precariously i'll at his home, 4l6 North
Fifth street and his physicians hold
out no hope for his recovery. Mr..
Ez ell has been in failing health for
the past year or more, but only recent.
ly did he become so feeble that he was
at times confined 10 his bed. A fall
from car at the park a few nights
ago further weakened him, and he is
now suffering from ursemic poison
ing.
Last evening it was thought he
could not last through the night, but
about 3 O'Clock this morning he rallied
and became conscious again, taking
nourishment. He appears to be slight
ly better today, but his physicians do
not think he can live over day or
two, at most.
Captain Ezell was for many years a
dry goods merchant here but for the
past two years has been license in
spector. He was born in Galloway
county and was lieutenant in the
i2th Kentucky Confederates during
the Civil war, having served with dis

In the northern part Of Perris
valley, in California, two brothers
are engaged in the wheat business
on an extensive scale. They have
t0,500 acres in crnp this Year and
the y;el |, ~ re2lrts by local pa
per published in that locality is
from : TO 10 sacks, or almost %
bushels, per acre. The farming
aud harvesting is all done on n
large scale, An oil burning trac-
ton engine with an Indicated horse
power of l25 is the motive power
employed and seven barrels of
crude oil is consumed each day as
fuel, This engine draws a big COM
bined harvester through so to 100
acres Of wheat every day during
the harvest season leaving trail
of wheat sacks filled with golden
grain ready for the market. 0uly
seven men are required to operate
this ponderous outfit, When the
threshing season is over the engine
lis h.tched TO a gang at SO disc plows
aud later in the season after the
rains have come So regulation
plows are used, This gang turns
over about 200 acres a day and is
often operated continuously, day
and night.
But the interesting feature Of
this method Of farming lies in the
economy with which it is done. 1t
is said that an acre of land can be
put in grain with the discs, for Z
cents and with the plows for 10
cents an acre, exclusive of seed,
aud the crop can be harvested for
| so cents an acre and when the
work stops or is finished there are
no hungry horses left to eat
their heads of, This shows a
remarkably cheap production of
wheat-less than four cents per
bushel.
Ofcourse to farm in such q man
ner it is necessary TO have large
tracts of level land adapted to
wheat growing bur it is claimed
by some authorities that there is,
in California alone, sufficient wheat
land Of this character, ii placed in
cultivation under the most approx
ed modern methods to produce
enough wheat to supply the entire
natiOn with bread. If this is true
il is matter of considerable inter
