JEFF And FIIZ WILL APPEAR
Manager Sam Mott Here Yesterday
and Completed Arrangements.
The FIRST Appearance Of the Cham
pion In Paducah.

Perhaps no other line OF amusement
will be more welcomed than the APP
pearance Of James J. Jefferies and Rob.
ert Fitzsimmons in this city at The
Kentucky ON Friday night ct the con-
clusion of the Flints performance.
The reputation Of the two great pugil-
lists is too fresh in our memories to
necessitnte repeating, but that they
are the two greatest pugilistic marvls
cannot be denied. and their exhibition
will undoubtedly meet with great ia
vor. Fitzsimmons has grand lot Of
victories to his fistio belt, having de-
cisively defeated every man that JEFF
cries has, excepting the big boilermak-
err himself, and in the latter's fighting
career he has never been knocked
down or even in distress for moment
during his many encounters.
Aside from the double star attrsc-
ton in Jefferies and Fitzsimmons, a
number of good preliminary bouts are
scheduled to take place, among which
will be seen a number OF we'll known
local favorites, as an effort is being
made on behalf of the management to
secure some good local talent, and
with the balance of the program now
assured, there can be no question
about it being worth the popular

THE SECRETS OF TREES.
No Way Discovered by Which interior
May BE Told.

May BE Told.
Nobody seems TO know what cause
II Is which produces those delicate and
beautiful lines In maple. known as
blrd's-sye. Some people think they
come from the hundreds Of little
branches which shoot out all over the
trunk OF the tree as soon as a clear
ing is made around u. Expert timber
men say that is not the case. The
only way 10 tell bird's-eye maple
tree Is TO cut II. There are no out
ward signs by which one can Judge.
The Railroad Gazette tells a story OF
the late George NJ Pullman. Many
years ago he was offered a mahogany
log for 5000, 10 be cut into veneers.
II was supposed TO be a very fine piece
of wood. but this could only he deter
mined by cutting II. He declined the
offer. but agreed to take the log cut
into veneers for what II was worth.
The owner had II sawed and was paid
$1,000 for his veneers. Amy one who
can discover the secret Of determining
the interior nature Of wood from the
outside will have a fortune.

The Lexington Leader and Lexing-

few side remarks about the former
position Of the latter's editor, Mr..
Walton, on the killing of Banker San
ford by the late Senator VIM. Goebel.
Mr.. Walton is now identified with the
crowd that announced its intention
some time ago to chang Taylor and
damn the Republican party in Ken
lucky, 4" and which processes to believe
that former Republican leaders were
in a conspiracy to kill Senator Goebel
After Editor walton's paper had
roundiy denounced Senator Goebel for
killing Mr.. Sanford eight years ago
he came out for him for governor, and
says now that il was because he after
ward came to the conclusion that MIR.
Goebel twas no murderer at heart"
This prompts the Lexington Leader to
observe: "If il takes eight years to
convince the editor Of the Morning
Democrat of the sublime purity Of
William Goebel, who was caught red
handed standing over the body Of
John Sanford, how long will IL take
TO satisfy him of the innocence of
Caleb Powers, who was forty miles
away when Goebel was shotf"

OUR EXCESSIVE TAXES,

The progressive people in the state
are being fully aroused 10 the great
injury that is done the state and cities
by the obvious determination of the
Office grsbbers' trust at Frankfort to
tax everything possible in order to
have more money to distribute for the
various state gratis. 1t is unnecessary
toYdescribe now tens Of thousands of
dollars are paid out every year to Office
holders who are incompetent and get
get princely pay for their sinecures,
and additional thousands to support
various institutions Of the state, all Of
which are RON by sppointees Of the
grafters now holding Office. alt
The latest victory Of these Office
holders is the decision Of Circuit
Judge Cantrill, who holds one Of the
championship belts for getting revers-
ed, deciding that insurance companies
must pay franchise tax. Perhaps it
is Just and right to compel them to
pay the tax, but it looks as if the gang
at Frankfort lie determined to tax
everything from to lizard" Not
only this, but the state taxes them
selves are too high. They drive out
many enterprises, and prevent many
others from coming. We have no
means OF knowing just how much
damage this perpetual tax business has
injured the state. but there is every
reason to believe it has done great
deal of harm.
, Along this line the Louisville Her
aid says:
1.-THE people of Kentucky generally,
and the citizens Of Louisville special
ly, are interested in the question Of
what is done with the money they
pile into the state and city Golfers. We
have a state tax that is too high and
a city tax too high. Like Alexander,
who sighed that there were no more
worlds to conquer, the inquisitorial
tax gatherer in Kentucky is unhappy
when he cannot find something new
to levy upon. Our state is suffering
from the imposition Of taxes, for
which no value can be shown except
to an army of overpaid, and, in too
many cases, incapable officials, city,
county and state. A glance at the
multiform bureaucratic burden under
which our people suffer would incline
to the belief that one part Of the
American people work and strive all
their lives to provide salaries for a
host of officials who toll not neither
do they spin. A man does not
keep up a private establishment be.
yond his Just requirements. He can.
not safely do 1t. Neither should a
state, city or county. Officials are, of
course, needed in the administration
of public affairs, but enough only to
do the work well. There is no call
whatever for the swarm Of chair
warmers that everywhere devour the
peoples substance. Nothing
but united and concentrated action on
the part of taxpayers can bring mat
tsrs, in respect 10 tax levies, to an
economical basis. This is not ques.
