Captain Cowles aud other officers of
the Missouri have been fully exonerat-
ed by the court of inquiry, from all
blame in the battleship Missouri dis
aster. The exact cause of the accident
can only be surmised, as all the men
present lost their lives in the explo-
sion. Our officers and sailors all have
the most thorough training, and, it
was shown, are painstakiug and careful
in loading and firing guns, and the
court finds that every man did his
duty. As there is nothing else TO
learn, the inquiry will probably end
with the verdict of this court. The
accepted theory of the accident is that
it resulted from flare back, " or the
blowing back into the gun Of flames
from the previous discharge.

CITY SHOULD INVESTIGATE.

The proposed sale Of the school
building at Fifth and Kentucky
streets opens the way for some i'm
portant changes in Paducsh. The fact
that the present city hall is entirely
too small for the growing demands of
a city the size Of Paducah, daily i'm
presses itself, especially on those re-
quired to transact business about the
city's official headquarters. y change
must be made; If not now, it must be
sometime within the next few years,
and then there may'not be the oppor-
tunity that presents itself now.
. A more desirable location than
Fifth and Kentucky, the building the
board of education desires 20 sell,
could not DO found for a city hall.
The lot is adequate for the sized build
ing Paducah needs.
Even before Paducah went into the
second class the city hall was too
small. Since then a number Of new
officers have come into existence and
there is not near enough office room in
the city hall, some of the offices hav-
ing overhowed into an adjoining
building. The city Jail, or lookup. is
reported too small. is of obsolete pat.
tern and unsanitary. The city needs
u new lookup and work house and
many new offices.
1t is suggested that steps be taken
TO ascertain how desirable aud practi
cal change of location for the city
hall would be. The city can either
sell the present city hall property and
use the money to purcahse the school
building, or sell the Central fire station
invest the money in city hall and
build Q new fire station where the city
hall now is, or il neither plan is ac-
ceptable, the city will have to build
an addition to the city hall, taking in
the adjoining property. This might
be as satisfactory and cheaper besides,
but it should be so decided now before
the opportunity to make the change,
should change be deemed better, is
lost The city should investigate the
matter at once.

The Chicago fire department officials
became indignant because the insur-
ance inspector didn't point out the
good points of the fire service when he
disclosed the bad. They evidently
forgot, as other cities have Gone, that
the inspector was not sent there &c
pick out the good points. He was told
to find the leaks, the cracks. the dan
gerous plsces-and he did it. Those
who are looking for them are expected
to find the good points. The insur-
ance companies are trying to find only
tine bad places in . city's fire protec-
tion, in order that they may be RENE
died, and nothing better can be said
of any oity's fire protection than that
it suits the insurance men.

half full of water. She remained in
this awful position for several hours,
absolutely helpless. Her parents be-
came alarmed and instituted a search

HOLD FAST TO REALTY
MUNICIPALITIES WON'T LET CO.
DIRT TOO VALAUBLE-NARK
TOO SLOW But. HEALTHY.

Lester B. Elwood, vice president Of
the Corser Investment company and
former president of the Minneapolis
Real Estate board in the Commercial
West sums up the situation to-day
thus: ..a .--
Real estate transactions in Minneapolis
at the present and for the past six months,
while fully up to expectations and consid-
erably greater than the average for the
past several years, nevertheless reflect the
caution and hesitation which is general i'll
business thruout the country. Expressed
in one word, it would be conservatism
Business property and the best residence
vacant properties, are held firmly. Very
little central income producing business
property is now on the market, and what
is offered is quickly taken care Of. The
general disposition on the part Of owners,
especially nonresident owners, to with
hold their best properties from sale at
present prices, coupled with the feeling Of
conservatism on the part Of buyers, nat
urally limits the volume Of real estate
transactions but still leaves the market
in very healthy condition. 1t is a no.
ticeable feature, indicating a distinct and
marked change from the conditions Of five
years ago, that eastern holders of Min
neapolis real estate, obtained either by d.
rect purchase or as the result Of foreclo-
sure Of mortgages during the years fol-
lowing 1893 are not now pressing these
properties for sale, and in many instances
have withdrawn their properties from the
market, considering them at present prices
good investments. This is particularly
true Of eastern savings banks and life in
surance companies.
A marked change is also noticeable in
the loaning market. Most of our citizens,
especially in the residence districts. ap-
pear to- have adopted a pay-as-you-go sys-
tenn, and are not requiring loans so gen
orally as formerly. On the other hand,
many eastern monied institutions, that
during the several years of depression fol
lowing 1893, withdrew their loans from
this and other western cities. have again
taken the northwest into favor and are
now accepting all good loans offered Min
neapolis is again recognized as an excel
lent field for investment, either for loans
or purchase at the present prices of ou1
real estate, especially Of income produc
ing property, vacant real estate being also
favorably regarded at the very low prices
| now prevailing. Investors realize that
profits are sure to follow Investments
when the market Is controlled as at the
| present time, by conservatism, and fol.
/ lowing a long depression.

.SIDEW AXIS FOR
PUBLIC'S COWS
COSTLY STONE PAVENIENTS IN
FRONT OF SIS LOTS.
Real Estate Men Make Complaint of
Unnecessary Sidewalks and Conse-
quent Unnecessary Special Assess
ments-These Assessments Discoy-
cred on Tax Rolls Give Agents Rude
Shocks.

What is called the sidewalk iniquity
Is stirring up the real estate men to
the boiling point. The immediate
cause OF this warmth is the perusal of
tax statements. It is found that in
numerous cases lots are practically
confiscated by the sidewalk tax. Side
walks are ordered in front of lots
one case on the East Side q SIC side
walk is put in the taxes where the
mouse on the lot is the last between
the preceding house and infinity. II
can take you to any number of places"
said the agent, where there are rods
of sidewalk which are never used ex-
cept by cows!"
A lot assessed at IS is supporting a
$50 sidewalk; two lots, assessed at IS
and Sc, sport stone walks which cost
about SIG each. The real estate men
say that the city is pretty well plas-
tered with sidewalks now and they be-
lieve that relief will come from the
fact that there are no more lots to
sidewalk. Some extension Of the trou-
BILE will come, however, from the fact
that wooden sidewalks must be re-
placed with stone.
What raises the ire Of the agents is
to get the first intimation of a side
walk laying from reading the special
assessments on the tax roll. They say
that the only way they can keep up
with the orders for sidewalks is to
read every word Of the published
council proceedings.
A crew of men went to lay a walk
in front of a lot containing a small
store. The tenant protested that no
walk was needed, but the men laughed
in his face and laid the walk. II
don't want to pay 83 cents a yard for
sidewalks when I can. get them laid
for so cents and trade lot in as pay
said the very irate owner. Possibly
I may want to lay a black and white
sidewalk, or an octagonal stone,' he
added, "but under the present system
I have to pay for whatever is done and
swallow my disgust. The sidewalk
| man doesn't get paid until the taxes
are settled for. am going to throw
| the sidewalk in front of my lot into
think I am justified in this"
Some of the agents are SO unkind as
to inquire if several of the aldermen
! are not silently interested in stone
| sidewalk companies. They say also
! that these companies must be kept go
| ing some way, there are SO many of
them that a lot Of sidewalk has to be
| ordered to appease them all. "You
might as we'll pass an ordinance to put
| a mortgage on every piece Of property
| in the city to enable the real estate
| men to get commission and keep
| alive as to order sidewalks to keep the
| sidewalk men going. I can fill you up
! with facts if you want more" said
| another - ...,
