STONE SUPPLIED FREE
FROM PENITENTIARY
coNvicTs ARE IDLE AND THERE
is LITTLE DEMAND FOR
CRUSHED STONE - CAIRO
GETS HERS.
A dlgpateh from Jollet saws:

A dispatch from Joliet says:
Fifty carloads of stcaa stacked up
at the penitentiary witt no demand
forth is the situation there today. ac-
cording to one of the officials. I'm
der the recent enactment regulating
The employment OF the convicts, the
counties and townships of the state
are each entitled to their share of the
material, if requisition is made for
1t. So far no one has made applica-
ton for the stone, and hundreds Of
conviats are idle Less than 200 men
are at work breaking stone because
it is not called for.
Ir is predicted, however, that when
it becomes generally known that the
material is to be had free of charge
there win be general demand for it,
For this reason the highway officers
Of this county should lose no time in
getting whatever supply is due them
under the pro rata arrangement.
Notice has been sent out to sew
eral towns, especially those without
road material at hand, to take adj
vantage of the siuation.
The Bulletin contained a long ar
ticle several weeks ago in reference
TO the above and it may be stated
again that the city authorities asked
for 100 carloads of the stone and it is
now being distributed on the city's
streets. The city pays the freight to
Cairo and there has probably been
fifty cars placed here.

strong degree of interest that certain
~ attaches to games between these
formidable rivals. Here is piece OF
good news for the fans of both cities.

its ancient rival has been accepted
and good feeling restored and as a
result the two cities will be found
enxt season again fighting for SUI.
premacy on the baseball diamond,
either in a league or otherwise, the
former being the most preferable.
The league secretary was the re-
cipient yesterday of a letter from Mr.,
A. s. THOMPSON, president of the Pa
ducah baseball club, requesting that
meeting be called within the next
two weeks in order that a circuit may
be formed that will constitute the
league next season.
Harry Bay. center fielder of the
Cleveland club is part owner Of the

the city yesterday with his company.
Bay supplanted Pickering in the

Bay made a worlds record, having IL
put outs to his credit in a game with

Referring to the proposed amend
ment to the league constitution to
make the cities individual washtubs
standing on their own bottoms, by
paying the visiting club a certain sum
as q guarantee instead of permitting
them to participate in the receipts OF
the home club. the Paducah News
Democrat has the following to say:
Paducah would be benefited more
than any other city in the Kitty If
this plan is adopted The receipts ay-
erage more, both on Sundays AMI
week day games. in this city than any
other place in the league This would
have the tendency, however. to drive
out the non-Sunday playing cities.
There's no argument about which
city, Paducah, Vincennes or Cairo,
turns out in the aggregate the largest
crodws, but these cities have grown
tired of carrying dead weight If the
burdens" want to sever their their
connection with the league, so much
the better, as others will quickly be
found to take their places. Now this
suggestion was made in good faith
and for the purpose of ascertaning
the temper of the members Of the
league. IA all events the question
can only be settled by the league at e
regular meeting, but previous discus
sion is always permissible and ad
yisable.
