FORGED CHECK
Stranger Attempts to Pass 1t,
But Fails.
Captain Joe Fowler's Name Was
Forged to II for SIS.

Last night Capt. Joe Fowler re-
ceived q telephone message inquiring
II check for SIS signed by j. II.
Fowler was genuine.
Capt. Fowler had written no checks,
and promptly replied that it was not
genuine. and whoever signed his.
Capt. Fowler's name, was a rascal.
This morning he learned that a
white man LAST evening went to Sec
ond street store and bought a suit of
clothing, rendering in payment when
it was wrapped up and ready for de-
livery a check signed by Capt. Fowler
in favor of one Archie Heldt.
The proprietor of the store went out
on some pretext and telephoned Capt.
Fowler to make sure the check was
good. and the man who presented the
check, smelling q mouse, left clothes,
check, and all and escaped.

TO RECONSIDER.
POLICE REDUCTION ORDINANCE
MAY COME UP AGAIN.

II is understood that the police re-
drction ordinance may be brought up
in the council again at its next meet
ing on motion TO reconsider. The
ordinance, after being passed twice by
the board of aldermen, carried in the
council by only one voc, and at the
last Meeting, although the members
voted to def,r several other Important
matters because there was not full
att ndance, it seems the opponents of
the ordinance saw chance to defeat
it and declining to permit postpone
ment of it, forced vote, which beat
it.
II it comes up again with all the
members present, it will probably pc

There Will be Three Bands for
the Street Fair.
Ten Men will be Sent Out Monday to
Advertise the Approaching
Event.
WORK BEGINS IN EARNEST

The carnival this year promises to
be more delightful than those of the
past two years and next Monday morn
ing ten men will be sent out TO adver-
tise 1t in every direction. The cost in
enclosures and other ways will be so
reduced by adopting the free street.
fair that there will be much more this
year for advertising than last. All
the donations are to he devoted TO
booming the fair.
Monday the soliciting committee
will start out and expects to get a big
increase over past donations as the free
street fair was selected partly because
it is deemed better for the merchants.
This year there will be more music
than usual. The local car nival asso-
citation will furnish one band the best
local band and the Fersri company
will have two. These will give daily
street parades in the business part of
the city and will also give free con-
certs on the street intersections ON
Broadway and Court from First street
to Sixth.
Most of the free attractions of which
there will be many will be on the va.
pant lot at Fourth and Madison streets
Director General Lagomarsino states
that the carnival will not interfere
with the street cars or anything else.
Some talk has been started about block
ing off the streets but nothing of the
kind is anticipated. - 80
The concessions will be disposed Of
as rapidly as possible and are expected
to bring more than last year. Already
an offer of $1,000 has been refused for
them. The various committees ap-
pointed have prepared to go to work
and will let no grass grow from now

thing abou: it looking him up. He is
always courteous, however. and never

Secretary Bronaugh will also be
very busy as will the members of the
executive committee. Preparations arc
being made to get out the regular card

carnival will no doubt be the most ex-

state. 1t will not be long until every
body is very enthusiastic over it and
the crowd will no doubt be much larg-
er than at any previous time.

Nothing Definite Yet Decided on
by Officials.
A Late Primary Is Believed 10 BE Pro-
babie In Paducah This
Year.
Ex-MAYoR NOT A CANDIDATE

Chairman X. @. Caldwell, of the
Democratic city committee, this morn
ing stated that nothing definite has
been decided In regard TO calling the
committee together to take action rel
alive to q city primary.
II is expected that announcements
for nominations will be made from
now on, but it IL hardly probable that
. primary will be held before August
or September. Every city Office pro-
vided under the second class charter
must be filled, according to yesterdays
court CT appeals, and there will &C.
cordingly be q clean sweep. with one
exception, Judge ID. l.. Sanders, VINO
holds over.
Mayor Yeiser has nothing to say.
He seems to have lost his voice, and
declines to enlghten q waiting world
in any respect ON any subject. He
will be . candidate, however, to sue
coed himself.
Councilman Joe Potter stated that
he had not decided whether or not he
will make the race for mayor, and II
he does, he has not decided whether oil
not he will run on the Democratic OF
independent ticket
Former Mayor James N. Lang said
that he positively would not run for
the nomination. That he didn't want
TO run before. and because he allowed
his friends to urge him, he Is still feel.
ing the disagreeable effects of his ex-
perience.
II is most too early to announce
probable candidates for other Offices,
but theirs will be plenty of them.

New York, March i9-Stocks open.

their upward course during the entire
session. The advance today was gen.
eral and was not confined to special
ties as heretofore. Foreigners were
good buyers in our market; this, with
ensier money rates and the general
outlook more favorable, caused the adj.
vance. keene brokers were active on
the long side, and Southern Pacific
was held firm, there being very little
of II for sale, and Il corner is consid-
cred likely. Banks have lost to sub
treasury since Friday $4,000. The
market has now had nice advance
from the recent low levels, and owing
to the trouble between the Southern
and Union Pacific people we think it
advisable 10 take profits ON a rally of
tins kind, for the short ipterest seems
to be heavy in Southern Pacific, and
the effect of corner would be bad on
the whole list. Near the close there
was a sharp advance in call money.
This caused quite reaction. Trading
