Only One Session Held in Public
Schools Today.
The High School Has Largest Glass
In History-Mr Warren Sights
Goes to Chicago University.
HONoRs FOR PADUCAH BOYS

On account of the extreme hot weather
which has suddenly swooped down on rs
the schools today held but one session,
being dismissed at noon for the remain
der of the day. This will be done again
tomorrow il the hot weather continues
The pupils can not do good work dur
ing such hot weather" Supt. Lieb stated
this morning. "and we thought that !
would be best to dismiss at noon and
give but a half day session rather than
to plod through the day with unsatis-
factory results. We want good work
and when conditions are such that we
can not secure it. il is best. We think
to adopt any means by which we can
better it, Pupils will work harder and
better with half days session this
kind of weather than il they had TO re-
main the entire day, and when in ease
vi the latter, they don't half do their
work"

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

Plump cheeks, flushed with soft glow
of health and a pure complexion, make
all women beautiful. Take a small
dose of Herbine after each meal; it
will prevent constipation and help di-
gest what you have eaten. SOC. Mrs.
NJ. Stroud, Midlothian, Texas, writes,
May 81, 1901: "We have used Herbne
in our family for eight years, and found
il the best medicine we ever used for
constipation, bilious fever and malaria. "

won signal honors in the college they
are attending at Springfield, Tenn. Mr..
Marshall Puryear has been elected
president of the senior class, and Mr.. j.
Henry Roberts of the junior class. Both
are bright, popular young men, and the
honor conferred ON them is unusual, it
not often being that the presidents of
both classes come from the same city.

DR. II. p. Sights will leave tomorrow
morning for Chicago with his son War
rem Sights. a graduate of the Paducah
High School, to enter the son into the
University Of Chicago.
The boy will be used as a test case TO
learn il the Paducah schools can turn
out graduates qualified TO enter the uni
versity without the preliminary prepar-
atory course which students generally
have to take before entering such large
schools and colleges.
The Paducah graduate is very bright
10y and graduated with next to the
highest per cent in the class. He al
ready had made 10 units, one more unit
than is required to enter the Chicago
University, but he studied this summer
and made even better showing. II he
enters without having to stand pre-
paratory course, this will insure the
standing of Paducah schools in the fu-
ture in regard TO large universities and
colleges.

River men tell an interesting story
in connection with Duck river. The
stream has been considered navigable
to CentreviiIe, Tenn, . distance Of so
miles. for some years, and the gov
ernment spent money improving it,
which it 10 said under federal laws

the government for improvements.
The legislature Of Tennessee. how
ever, has decided otherwise, and has
enacted laws that the river IL un-
navigable, thus placing it in control
of the various counties through which
it passes.
Bridges have been built under which
few boats can pass. There 10 one
bridge that it is said none but the
smallest boat can get under. and the
result 10 that IL has almost killed the
Duok river business, which was quite
heavy in ties and slaves.
Mr.. Kilgore has large quantity of
slaves up there, and recently he could
not get boat under the bridges, and
had to throw the slaves in the river
and let them float down, taking
chances Of recovering them below
after they had passed under the
bridges. It is understood that he is
preparing to bring suits against every
county in Tennessee in which he was
put to this trouble and expense, claim
ing that the river IL controlled BY the
government, and that the counties
have no right to put mp the bridges
they have, destroying navigation.

English, who has charge of the dramatic
club in the High School, will finish the
work of organization. She will hold a
meeting either this afternoon or tomor-
row after school hours and elect officers
of the club. The first entertainment will
be given by the club next week. IL will
consist of music and dramatic recita-
tions. Miss Stewart thinks she has
some excellent material in the schools
and hopes TO turn out some good actors
and actresses. This. of course is not a
scheduled study or course in the schools
but is operated with view Of recrea-

which is done for pleasure and entertain

This year the High School will BE
larger than ever before in the history
of the Paducah schools. Already there
are 1870 pupils in the High School and
when the present term ends there will
be 50 more admitted from the sth grade.
The new arrangements make it possible
for graduation from the sth grade in
the middle Of the year. after the first
term. This will make a total of about
$50 pupils, the largest class in the his
tory of the schools.
The enrolment this year is sey'-
undred more than expected and nearly
all enrolled are attending. The attend
ance this year is better up TO the en-
rollment than ever before, and the teach.
ers are encouraged. Many pupils who
enroll at the opening of school drop out
later and cuts down the attendance a
great deal, but few such eases have been
reported this season.

WHERE ARE THEY?
Editor Evening News;

Editor Evening News:
Having recently arrived in town,
l would like to inquire through the
columns of the News, as to the where
ahouts of the Democratic party in
Perth Amboy. Has democracy in this
city become defLnot or is the cam
paign manager gone to the fairs. 1t
does seem rs though it was time for
the raising of a banner, the holding
of a mass meeting, the appointment
of an executive committee, or some
other small token to denote that
democrats still live.
| am informed that during both of
the Bryan campaigns there was no
lack of enthusiasm and that several
banners were swung to the breeze, but
hose days are gone by, and!Bryan and
is followers have been eliminated
rom the democratic party, and the
good ship launched by Jefferson, now
has none others than Democrats, Pop
~acrats, Gold-Pugs and Mugwumps on
board. If such be the case and with
such a cargo 1 fear our staunchold
bark has foundered.
l trust, however, that my misgiv-
ings as to the safety of the shin are
unfounded, and that-matters will be
righted in the near future. 1t Is easy
to say ''stand firm, we are proud of
you, - and while the cost of sending q
telegram to Esopus amounts to but
very little, to properly run a political
campaign such as now confronts
amounts to a great deal and requires
an unlimited amount of pluck, brains,
energy, and the necessary funds,
which should be subscribed by the
leading men of that party. Now it
not only appears to me that the demo-
Gratis are lacking in all the essential
qualities above mentioned, but having
failed to discover a single democrat
in the city 1 am once more compelled
to ask where the Perth Amboy Demo-
Gratis are, anyway.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
R. G.. Dun & Co.'s Report For the
Week.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'s Report For the
Week.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
With the crops almost beyond dan
ger, prices of securities at the highest
point since May, 1908, and idle machin-
cry resuming at many factories and
mills that have been closed for months,
the business outlook grows steadily
brighter. BY far the best feature Of
the situation is the confidence mani
tested by an increased disposition to
provide for future requirements. This
is. by no means general, but it is no
ticed at pig iron furnaces, wooden mills
and among dealers at widely separat-
ed points, particularly those located in
the agricultural sections.
Dispatches from thff leading cities
hre almost unanimous in telling of i'm
proved conditions. Boston reports sen
timent cheerful and a steady growth
in mercantile branches; Philadelphia
textile manufacturing is still irregular,
but improving, and most other lines in
creasingly active; merchandise move
ment is unprecedented in some lines at
Baltimore, and the only. complaint per-
tainS to cotton goods; Pittsburg glass
factories are resuming with a new
wage scale, staples nov more freely,
and collections are better.
