A HUNDRED WATCHES
TO BE GIVEN THE BOYS

The Sun has purchased hundred
watches from Mr.. J. L. Wolff, the
well known jeweler and will offer
them to the boys of Paducah
These watches are "dandies. -
They are watches Mr.. Wolff has been
selling for sl.75 and are most excel
lent time pieces. The Sun appreciates
the longing the average boy has to
possess watch and intends to help
him get one.
Here is the plan: The Sun will
give one Of these watches to the boy
who gets
10 nnsnthly subscribers, or
six months subscribers, or
2 one year subscribers.
The subscribers must be people who
are not now taking the Sun and must

already.
One young fellow, Aubrey Meacham,
the son Of Mr.. ID. A. Meacham of
The Sun, when he heard Of the offer
went to work and has already turned
in his subscriptions and received his
watch. He is the proudest boy in
Paducah today and has every reason
for being so. He is only eight years
old but the tact and energy he put
into his work and the despatch with
which he did it, stamps him as q boy
with the proper stuff in him.
Every boy in Psduoah can get one

Immense FlOes Are Now Passing
by Paducah.
There IL Considerable wrecksge in
the Msss--Little Damage
Here.
sPRAGUE NOT INJURED MUCH

The ice has been running heavier to
day and yesterday than this winter.
and owing to the cold weather there Is
no way to prophesy when the situation
will improve.
The ice is now so heavy that it flows
into the Tennessee river through the
Chute above the city, and comes
past Paducah in the Tennessee river,
something not seen here for 10 or ID
years, according to river men. The
ice appears to be floating out Of the
Tennessee, but simply crosses over
from the Ohio up at the chute and
comes down past Mechanicsburg. To-
day, on account of the wind, the ice
has been mostly on this side Of the
river, and almost within reach Of per-
sons standing on the wharfbost. Usu-
ally it seldom gets nearer than the
line of the Tennessee river.
All day yesterday the ice crunched
and roared and rushed past With it
was much wreckaRe, and several barg-
es and wrecked bulls of boats. 1t was
impossible to tell just what was being
carried down in the mass Of ice and
drift. No boat could live in the river
and no effort was made here to catch
any of the fugitive barges and boats.
Down at Joppa the tie boats and
barges were reported in great danger.
Two Of the Lyda's big empties broke
loose from the force Of the foes and
fioated away, but were caught at Cairo
without having been damaged.
At Brookport the full force Of the
ice 10 felt. 1t piles up high and solid,
and the Illinois Central transfer boat
cannot land. There has been consider
able delay to the mails and st. Louis
papers for several days, often delay
Of 10 hours or more.
The damage to the Sprague and
Cruiser which left Paducah several
days ago. was not SO bad % reported
/ in Saturdays dispatches.
The Cruiser and Spra2ue, escaped
from the Toe with slight damage but
fought desperately in the ice for hours
to rescue several barges Of coal which
were going down the river in the great
fields Of ice passing. Three barges
we're landed opposite Evansville and
one at q point below. II they can be
held to resist further assault Of the
ice the owners will be saved large
amount of money Three barges got
away. Many others are coming me
bsrges ate part Of the Pumpkin pston
feet Of 81 pieces which broke loose Q
few days ago near Louisville. Some
have been destroyed by the ice, while
the majority are still coming down
the river. They are said to be strung
out for miles.
Saturday at Louisville the towboat
Bellevue, valued at $4,000, was
crushed in the ice and the crew Of
nineteen had q close call for their
ives

PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
Supt. Leib Has Completed His
First Month.
Tomorrow Night He Will Make Re
port-Revision Of Rules
Probable.
ONE REVISION BADLY NEEDED

With Saturday Prof. O. NJ. Leib.
superintendent OF the Psducah public
schools, closed the first month of
his incumbenov. and will furnish q
brief report to the Board of Education
tomorrow night reviewing the work
no has done and outlining the work
he intends TO do this spring. He will
make but few suggestions as TO i'm
provements.
This week / will meet with the
teachers and we will re-clsssify, "
Prof. Leib stated. In some instances
where the primary grades are so large
that two teachers are required to teach
the little children. the classification 10
very bad, and some teachers are doing
exactly the same work, wasting much
time and energy and accomplishing
about half as much as might be &C.
complished under different arrange
ments"
For instance, take Miss Willis
room In the High school building.
She and Mrs. Rieke teach the first
grade which was necessarily divided
on account OF the large number Of
pupils. Some Of these pupils ere ad-
vanced further than the others and
must be pushed ahead. l will take
the advanced pupils, whom we will
find by the grading we reviewed last
week, and place them in the A division.
The pupils who cannot do the advanced
work will be placed in the second, or
b division. IL the latter class pupils
can do better work than we thought,
or rather show improvement, then
they will be promoted TO the A class
and this at once.
I'VE will require sevetal weeks to
finish the re- classification but hope to
straighten out the rooms before the
expiration Of the month. I Intend to
place Miss Willis in charge Of one
division and Mrs. Rieke in charge Of
the other, and will also make similar
arrangements at other schools where
the primary grades are over run and
little system 10 used.
Prof Leib has further observed
that the teachers have not agreed on q
limit for work, aud will this week or
range . limit. He will outline the
work Of each grade and class and will
allow the pupils to go so far each
month. allowing for reviews, etc.
The entire years course will be 80 ar
ranged that the pupils are taken
thoroughly through the course little
by little, and when they have finished
will be thoroughly acquainted with
the work completed
Prof. Leib and the teachers last
week completed the canvass Of grade
work and have only to meet and agree
on what pupils be placed In the A and
b divisions, and the next few weeks
will be consumed in carefully watch
ing the work of the pupils and decid-
ing on promotions and demotions.
This will be done Immediately, before
the term has we'll gotten under way.
The board tomorrow night will no
doubt take steps to secure revision Of
the rules and regulations. whi.h has
not been done since 1899.

pieases men and women in equal mea-
sure, but both men and women delight
in this stake romance from Owen Wis
ter's fascinating story. Women follow
with curious pleasure the Incidents of
their sex in the wold locality in which
the play moves, and they enjoy with
great zest the love making of the hero,
impersonated ideally by Mr. Dustin Far
mum. Men are strangely fascinated by
the incidents of the cowboys life that
so materially differs from those of life
in the cities, and they follow with keen
interest the development of the story as
it relates to the Firginian and Trampes,
and the pistol duel that leaves the former
triumphant Much interest is felt in
