AGENT GONE
UNDER STOOD THERE WAS LIT
TIE DOING FOR HIM HERE.

George Alexander, the state au-
ditors agent who came here and yes
terdsy began collecting state taxes on
property, completed his work yester-
day afternoon as far as he desired, and
has gone to other fields to work.
Alexander, it is estimated by those
in position to know, collected about
$500 here and then quit. He sold one
or two pieces of property but on the
whole'did not do the business he ex-
peoted to. The total amount of state
taxes claimed to be due for the past
five years is estimated to amount to
about &c., and the amount collect
ed by Alexander did not amount to
one.tenth of the amount due.

TO GO TO CHICAGO.
TALK OF SENDING A COMMIT
TEE 10 GET DOWN TOWN /.
O. TICKET OFFICE.

The Commercial club will ask the /.
@. to put ticket Office on Broadway
OF some other down town street where
il will be convenient to the general
public. This will be done at the next
meeting and the matter will be imme-
diately taxed up with Agent Donovan
who will refer the matter to the
higher officials Of the road. The only
question to be considered, according
TO local officials, Is whether the COM
pauy can afford to put in ticket Office
down town with the comparative
small business which will be done.
Such offices are located only because
of the coupon business, persons buy
ing tickets with sleepers, etc, and it
is said that Psduoah does not do
enough business of this kind to justify
the company putting in the branch
office.
For some time an attempt has been
made 20 secure another man rs help in
the local ticket Office at the depot,
but none has been put in. The work
is very heavy ON both the day and
night ticket agents and a downtown
office will take much business of his
shoulders and enable him TO attend
more strictly to other business done
at the depot office.
An official stated this morning that
he had talked with several members
of the Commercial club and thought
they would appoint committee to go
to Chicago and confer directly with
the higher officials. From what can be
heard in local railroad circles, it is
very improbable the ticket office will
be secured, especially now that the
compsny has given orders that no
more trains are TO stop at Broadway,
and passengers will have to go to the
passenger depot to get on.

Bristol, Va, May 0.-The body of
f. L. Wentz, discovered in the
mountains near Kelley view, Wise
county, Va, has not been disturbed.
1t has been guarded by number of
men since it was discovered by u
miner who was looking for lost cow.
1t is estimated that about $1,000 re-
ward will be paid for finding the
body. The young millionaire seems
to have been killed, as there are even
from the cursory examination made,
evidences of bullet holes. Whether
suicide or murder, is yet to be deter
mined by the coroner's jury. His
relatives are coming on special

Plain That the City Can Spend
Part of the $4,000 for Site.
Doctors Know Moth ing of Any Con-
fict, Butwill Stick to the Old
Fort Property.
PRESENT SITE A BAD ONE

The doctors on the new city hospi-
tai site committee know nothing
about any conflict in the committee.
The members are not all agreed on the
site, but . majority seem to prefer the
old fort property, on which the cit y
can secure an option for s., 700. May
or Yeiser, on behalf OF the city, has
not yet signed the option. because the
council has not acted on 1t. The
board Of aldermen instructed him to
sign it, but the matter has not been
brought before the council. The sign
ing of the option, however, will mean
little or nothing. The price is a
great deal more than real estate me n
seem to think the property is wo nth.
and a great deal more than its assessed
value, but there does not seem to be
any way to get 1t except by paying
the price demanded.
It is claimed that some of the city
officials want to force the erection OF
the new hospital where the present
city hospital is located, near Sixth
and Husbands street, II very unseemly
place.
They claim, 1t is alleged, that the
city cannot spend any OF the s25,-
600 of the bond issue for . site, but
this contention is not borne out by the
ordinance itself, which they can
easily see by reading it. The general
opinion seems to be that the
present city hospital site is en-
tirely out of question, aud public
sentiment is very much against it.
Here is the exact language of the
ordinance:
"Said bonds shall not be sold for less
than ACQUIRED interest and the pro-
ceeds shall be used expressly for the
purpose OF establishing q new city
hospital in the city of Paducah, by
buying site and building thereon, or
in such manner as the general council
may deem expedient.
This shows plainly that the city hos
the right to spend as much of the sa5.-
900 as necessary. for a site, although
of course it would be much better to
use the entire s25, 900 for he building
and have the site paid for out of
other funds. The present hospital
property can be sold for about 81, 500
which could be applied to the cost OF
the new site.

The Man Who is Supposed to
Have Written Note Found.
Seemed to Be Crazy-Police Board
Met Last Night-Minor
Police Notes.
SAILORS STILL IN LOOKUP

There is evidently a crazy man in
Paducah. He seems to be either
temporarily deranged or is suffering
from protracted jag.
Yesterday afternoon late Officer
Henry Sipgery picked up a note on
Broadway in front of the Rieke build
ing. 1t was written in very Hitter
ate hand, and could hardly be deciph-
cred. 1t was as follows:
"Uncle II want you all to know
that / am do ne with this world.
have got ever ything fixed just like 1
want 1t. have been home and
stayed there five weeks, and my sister
wanted me to stay with her all the
time but / could not do that, so l
have made up my mind to TAX my
own life, and be done with this
world, for you know home is nothing
like this have been a sport long
enough l want to be put away just
like you find me. So no more. Good
bye" Z. 81. HlBBS."
The man was not known here. and
the police were instructed to keep
lookout for the supposed "E. M.
Hibbs." This morning Officer Thad
Terrell telephoned into headquarters
that he came across Hibbs on West
Clay street. Hibbs said he intended
to kill himself, but not until he
killed some man in Fulton who had
brought suit against him for $40, 900
and got verdict for $4,000. Hibbs
said he would kill him first, and then
kill himself He said he:would go to
Memphis from Paducah. He acted
very much like some one suffering
from an extended jag, and his hand
writing in the note seemed to be on
spree also.
The police are trying to find out
who sold about.s5 worth of tickets for
the Dick Fowler excursion last Sun
day, without authority. The suppos-
ition is that some one stole tho
tickets at the place they were printed,
and sold them before the boat left
When the tickets were checked up
there were found to be about s5
worth sold by some outsider.
Lieut.. Earlsn today received a
telephone message from James Lilly,
colored, Of Metropolis, H., stating
that bis, Lilly's son, Geo. Lilly, had
been entioed away by Henry Patter-
son, a colored preacher, and was sup
posed to be up the river somewhere,
probably near Birmingham, KY.
The local police are asked to kes p
lookout for him.
