RNIvAL'S WIND UP.

Paducah's first fall carnival has
proven success, despite the fact that
it was the Red Mems first effort to
pull Off such large affair, that some
of the weather was bad, and that it IL
little late for carnivals, and after the
close of the season of most carnival
companies.
Last night thou sands OF people
visited the grounds and enjoyed the
sights and sounds, and the shows did
. good business.
In the graphophone drawing the
lucky number was 4,527, second 8, ZOO,
and third 1858.
Tonight the drawing for the 800
buggy will tsse place.
Last night was Mardi Gras night at
the carnival but only few went in
masque. The parade started about
Z 80 from First ana Broadway headed
by Deals band and this was followed
by few wagons and then came the
Heck carnival band and the Indians
and following in the rear was the
burlesque German band. Much red
fire was burned and the procession Gre
ated much mirth along the street, the
German band being responsible for the
greater portion Of the fun.
Mr.. George Block presented /, 1893,
the lucky number for the suit Of
clothes.
The third number for the Morris
chair, 2,970, has been presented, but
the second number, ASH, is good
until . tonight.
The Red Men are trying to stop horn
blowing at the carnival and have
asked the police to see that no horns
are allowed on the grounds tonight.
Last night the spielers were unable
to make themselves heard on account
Of the crowds blowing horns and the
carnival promoters estimate that they
lost several hundred dollars as a result
They will not permit the sale of horns
tonight and will stop all persons from
taking them in at the gate with them.

Some Interesting Figures Com;
piled by Mr.. s. A. Fowler.
They Give Some Idea of What Gould
Be Accomplished for
PAducah.
RIVER IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED

The following statements Of facts
connected with the river interests Of
Paducah have been furnished by Mr..
8. A. Fowler, who has compiled them
after careful investigation and re-
search. They are authentic and can be
relied upon.
The number of miles Of navigablo
waters embraced in the Ohio river sys.
tenn is 4,406, with population Of H.
9S7,577.
The number Of passengers carried
on the Ohio river alone for the caleu-
dar year of 1902 was 4,517,695.
Amount of tonnage handled on same
during the past year, consisting of gen,
eral merchandise, coal, etc, 12, 202, OIL
tons.
Amount of tonnage handled on the
Tennessee river between Paducah, KY,
and Florence, Ala, 1909, 1885,
tons.
Number of passengers handled DUR
ing the same time 20,37S.
Number of crossties handled out Of
the Tennessee river during the past
year IS reported by the companies OPP
Grating between Paducah and Water
loo, Ala, 6,579,3ls.
Number of crossties handled out OF
the Cumberland river between Padu-
cab and Nashville, 1,7s6,o75.
Within IS miles of Paducah and

berland rivers during the past year es-
timated at 10, 200, 900 feet.

little less than 100000.
The amount invested in river prop
erty entered at Paducah custom house

then thousand tons.
With the contemplated improve
ments Of the general government and
the building Of locks and dams from
Pittsburg to Cairo, with a stage Of
nine feet of water at the lowest season
of the year, the increase in river traf-
flo would be trebbled, New Orleans
would rival New York as an export
center, the Mississippi and Ohio VAL
legs brought into closer touch with
the Trans Atlantic and Pan-American
countries. transportation rates would
be less on account of river competition
and more accessible markets would DO
found.

egate from Paducah to the Tennessee
river convention October 90 and also

ication at Evansville the IA and Is Of
