A citizen declared today that he
wanted to be mayor, and that If he
"didn't run the old town right he'd
get it in such a id bad fix that no
one else would want to try" Per-
haps there are others like him.
II seems that il the board of health
is still In existence in Paducah. and
expects to ever meet again, now is a
fine time for it. Something should be
done to improve Paducah's sanitary
condition, and it she uld be done now.

PAPERS FILED
Attorney John G. L0vett Asks
for His Certificate.
Chairman Morrison Will File Answer
Tomorrow-HeAring at Once.

Attorney John G. Lovett of Benton
this morning through Bloomfield &
Crice filed in circuit court here a
mandamus against Mr.. O. W. Morri-
son, chairman of the Second district
judicial committee, to compel him to
sign as chairman of such committee
the certificate of nomination Of Mr..
Lovett as the Democratic nominee for
commonwealth attorney in the dis
trict.
The petitioner alleges he received q
majority of the votes cast for COM
monwealth's attorney in the recent
Democratic primary, and that no is
being unjustly and nnlswfully kept
out of the certif cate by the refusal Of
the chairman TO sign such certificate.
He claims the ballots have been pro-
perly counted and certified to by the
precinct officers.
An answer will be filed by Chair
man Morrison at once. In it he will
allege that it is doubtful If Mr.. Low
EFT has received majority of the votes,
as the ballots have not been taken
from the boxes by the committee and
counted after charges of fraud have
been made.
The present controversy is over
whether or not the judicial committee
should simply canvass the returns in
the rsce by certifying to the vote as
sworn to by the precinct officers, or
wherther it should at the request of
Candidate Taylor reopen the boxes and
count the ballots again. Mr.. Lovett
alleges that the count of the precinct
officers is all that is required or per-
mitted by law except in case Of con-
test, and Mr.. Taylor insists that the
ballots should be recounted.
Judge Husbands will probably hear
the case tomorrow morning in circuit
court

were indignant at the delinquency Of
public officials in the matter Of clean
lug the streets in their neighborhood
finally administered just rebuke the
other day by getting out with shovels,
hoes and brooms and cleaning block
themselves. They said there was no
use in trying to keep clean houses
with dust and dirt constantly blowing
in from the street. 1t is likely the
officials will be more considerate OF
that particular locality hereafter, as
the women are determined to show up
official negligence as often as neces-
sary.

After fooling away several weeks on
the question Of what the new tide
walks are TO be constructed of, the
council has again succeeded in getting
the matter back where it was before
the members began WORK on it. The
public is to be congratulated on the
fact that the boards have not yet quite
saddled those piebald psvements on
the public.

Il is q matter for regret that this
section Of the state, especially Padu-
cab and McCracken county, has con-
tributed so little to the Kentucky ex-
hibit association. The showing is
most humiliating to tine people of Pa.
ducah who take pleasure in telling
sthers what q hustlinR town we have,
md who claim that Paducah is second
TO only Louisville. We should at least
do as much as some of the smaller

The industrial outlook for Paducah
was never better. AS told in the news
columns, the rolling mills seem an as
sured fact. There is much building
going on, and constant demand for
more material and desirable sites Cor
other industries. When we get more
modern streets and our large buildings
now in course of construction are COM
pleted, we can indeed begin to put on
airs

The light committee of the council
seems to have developed a peculiar
kind of enterprise. 1t is stated ofiici-
ally, according to the reports of last
nights board meetings, that the com

running the light plant, one to the
acting superintendent, who is doing
the work, and one to the regular So.

has arbitrarily, illegally and extrava

draw his pay without doing any worl

but we hardly think so.

II seems the charges of cruelty
against the benevolent Russians in

brethren, we must kill you. 1t is so

There is q deficiency of hundred

RAPED by the people have more than

Notes of the Famine.

The Glucose plant at Peoria, Ills,
which requires thirty cars of coal
daily. has closed down for lack of
fuel.
Tenants in ST. Paul houses are tear

The Big steel works at Steelton, Pa,
has closed for lack of coal, render

1t is feared that the factories at
Rockford, Ills, will have to closed,
throwing hundreds of persons out of
employment.
Mayor Low, Of New York, has asked
for a conference with the presidents
of coal roads with a view to relieving
the famine in that city.

An A:i.ci ivt,4a ut into
trouble with i gel,..irina IA the City Of
Mexico during the Spanish American
war, when foreign and local sentiment
was against the United States. The
offense consisted largely in the fact
that the stranger was an American.
but he landed in Jail nevertheless. Not
wishing to see the Texan spend the
night in jail, his friends sailed forth
to obtain his release. First they visited
the home of the American ambassador
and found he was out of the city. Then
they went to the home of the English
minister and found him i'll bed. By
dint of insistence they succeeded in
getting into the house and were met on
the staircase by the minister himself,
arrayed in official pajamas. Carefully
Disgusting the fact that their impris-
oned friend was an American, they ap-
pealed for assistance. "Ah," said the
minister cautiously, "yOur man is in
Jail, is he? But tell me, is he British
subject?' your excellency," said
General AgremOnte, who acted as
spokesman, "the prisoner speaks Eng
lish perfectly" "Ah," said the minis
ter, then the presumption is in his
favorr' Half an hour later, thanks to
the personal Intervention of the Brit
ish minister, the Texan was released
from the Mexican Jail.

Stage Ice Cream.

Thtst make believes of the stage
are not SO easily detected now as in the
days when Mr.. Joseph Jefferson was
beginning to earn his reputation as an
actor is shown by this story of dramat-
ic business" in the earlier days of the
Walnut Street theater in Philadelphia
There was scene in the course Of
which a servant was to enter with
lights.
I'm those days" said Mr. Jefferson,
''sea island cotton was stage ice cream,
just as mOlasses and water was stage
wine, sherry or port, according to the
proportion of molasses. The actors
were seated at the table where they
had been enjoying such viands as
these, and their dialogue was making
the very best sort of an impression on
q crowded house
Then in came that maidservant
with the wabbliest sort of candelabra
The scene was so engrOssing that she
was scarcely noticed but when she set
down her burden on the table and one
candle toppled out and put the ice
cream in Il BLACKWELL, the entire au-
dience burst into laugh, and the cur
tain had to be rung down."

COAL DUTY TO BE REMOVED
Because We Need Coal So Badly, Provided
We Can Get Reciprocity.

Washington, Jan. 13.-It is expected
that congress will pass bill remov-

imported into this country. This bill
may take the form of a rebate or draw
back for ninety days, and also will pro-
vide for reciprocity, admitting free of
duty coal imported into this country
from countries granting the same priv
ilege to the United States. This means
Canada, and will permit Nova Scotia
coal to come here free, while coal from
the Alleghenies and westward will go
into Canada free of duty. The ways
and means committee will meet to-
day, and according to the present pro-
gramme report a bill on the above
lines. It is expected it will pass the
house today.
1t will be taken up in the senate very
soon, and the intention is to have it

There is plenty of authority for be-
Hieving that there is man in the moon.
In fact, there is authority for believing
that there are women and other ami
mails there. Dante declares that Cain
was banished to the moon and that he
can be seen there at any time. Chaucer
declares that the man in the moon was
guilty of larceny and that he carries
thorn bush. Shakespeare loads him
with thorns and gives him dog. Ac-
cording to the general version, he was
banished there for gathering sticks on
Sunday, and the Germans have ampli-
fed this theory by giving him wcm-
