Cit;zen-Daughter Of Mrs.
RIA. Watkins Dead.
MIR. L. FOLKS REMAINS ARRIVE

Mr.. John Patrick, o veteran and
we'll known submarine diver, died late
yesterday afternoon at his home,
1917 South Fifth street, of pneumo-
MIA. He had been ill about ten day. S.
Mr.. Patrick was past 20 years Of
age, although he looked much young
er and was perfectly vigorous until
his last illness. He was born in Nash
vile, Tenn. but came to Paducah when
quite young aud had lived here ever
since.
He was usually expert in his pro-
fession, and was much sought after
river disasters, to recover the bodies
of the drowned. He was unit ring in
his efforts to relieve, as much as pos
sible, the distress of those who had
lost loved ones, by restoring their re-
mains, and set no price upon his la
bors. He was especially distinguish
ed for his heroism In the Golconda
horror. when so many people lost
their lives, of Cotton Wood bar. near
this city, nearly three years ago.
He made u great deal of money and
might have been in independent cir
cumstances, but he was ever respon-
sive to the needs of those less fortu-
nate than he, and spent great deal
in helping the unfortunate. He was
generous, big hearted and widely be-
loved and this is his monument.
He might have been more affluent
in a..woyldIy way had he been more
provident and less generous. but after
all, he has his reward.
He left wife, who is at the point
of death from the same illness of
which he died and two daughters, Mrs.
Belle Bethel and Mrs. Joe Farris,
both of this city.
The funeral took place from the
Third street Methodist church at 2

PLEASE GO SIT DOWN.
Some Things Dean McEachron Doesn't
Know About Washburn.

When anything is printed about do
nations to Washburn college some one
of the faculty always rushes to the
front with a denial. Now comes Dean
McEachron to say that the statement
in the State Journal that A. c. Stitch
had fully decided on the $4,000 he
would give to Washburn and it's use,
is all a mistake.
Dean McEachron is a capable and
pleasant professor and he knows much
about the college affairs, but the
State Journals news regarding the
Stitch donation comes from a reliable
source and from person who knows
much more about the finances of the
college than do the members of the
faculty. Mr.. Stitch has fully decided
what he will do for Washburn college.
denials of the faculty to the contrary,
and everyone including the faculty
should be glad he has.

ONE NEGRO KILLED.
Another Seriously Wounded in Battle
With Knives.

One negro is dead and another seri-
ously wounded as the result of a fight
at Will Gays negro dive on Crane
street last night. Shadriac Simms died
a short time after the encounter, in
which he received several deep cuts
with a knife or razor. His antagonist
Harve Enochs, was stabbed half a doz-
en- times, but will probably live to be
tried for the murder of SimmS.
The two negroes started to fight over
a game of craps which they were play
ing in a back room of the Gay resort.
The fight occurred outside, and Sfmms,
whose jaw was laid open by a long
cash, and was bleeding freely from sew
eral other wounds, staggered to the
Marshall drug store and fell on the
steps, where he was found by the po
Fifth street. He died about o'clock.
three hours after the fight. A deep
cash in the back of the head is suppos-
ed to have touched the base of the
brain and caused the death of Simms,
but from the appearance of the side
walk in front of Marshall's drug store,
he probably bled to death. While he
was dying Simms made a statement to
DR.. H. H. Keith, in which he said that
he was trying to get away from Enochs,
and fought only in self-defense.
EnochS' wounds consist of six knife
stabs in the right side, two of which
pierced the lung cavity. He was taken
to Christ hospital, and the hospital
authorities announced this morning
that he would live. Will Gay, at whose
place the fight occurred, said that
Simms left the house and Enochs fol-
lowed him out to the sidewalk. Enochs
ran back into the house and grabbed a
chair, and Gay attempted to quiet him.
Enochs drew a knife, and Gay hastily
got out of the way. EnochS ran after
Simms, and caught him in front of the
place. Simms also drew a knife, and
both fought desperately. Sirlms finally
broke away and ran, and EnochS was
so badly wounded that he could not get
away from the place, and was assisted
inside by Gay.

CRASH IN WASHINGTON.
Financial Circles Shocked by Fall of
t. E. Waggaman.

Washington, Aug. pa sensation was
caused in financial and real estate cir
cles in this city when it became known
that a petition in bankruptcy had been
filed by three of the leading national
banks of the city against Thomas E.
Waggaman, a prominent real estate
and insurance agent of this city and
treasurer of the Catholic university.
The petition at the same time seeks to
set aside a deed of trust recorded on
Mr.. Waggaman's property for approx
mately $S76, 900 in favor of the Catholic
university on the ground that it is void
as being an attempt by an inSolvent
debtor to prefer one of his creditors
The petitioning banks were the Second
National bank, the National Metropol-
ftan bank, and the National bank of
washington, each of which alleged it
held overdue and unpaid paper of Mr..
Waggaman's, the total amount held by
the three is $4,000 of which
$50 900 is due to the Metropolitan bank.
Mr.. Waggaman had been in the real
estate business here since 1873 and was
generally to be man of large
means. He was the pOSSeSSor of the
finest private art gallery in the city.
and some comment was caused several
months ago when a brief announcement
appeared in the papers TO the effect that
his art works had been turned over to
the Catholic university At the time
it was explained as a matter of con-
venience, but it is stated now that Sc
curity to the university for money had
to 90 with the matter.
Beside handling the moneys of the

POLITICS DOESN'T COUNT.
Democrats Endorse the Nomination of
Judge StilIweIl.

Chanute, Kans., Aug. 24.-One of
the most signal distinctions ever con-
ferred upon a man IN political life
in Kansas was given Judge Leander
Stillwell, of the Seventh judicial dis
trict, at Erie Tuesday, where he was
indorsed by the Democratic county
convention. Judge StillweIl has been
district judge in Kansas for a longer
period than any other incumbent of
such office since the admission of the
state into the Union. He was first
elected in 1883 and was reelected in
1887, 1891, 1895 and 1899.
Hugh Farelly, recently chairman of
the Democratic state committee, in
troduced the StillweI resolutions. No
judge in the state stands higher in
the affections of his constituency, ir-
respective of party, than does Judge
StillwelI.
G. ], Crawford, a Missouri Demo-
crat and oil man, was nominated rep
resentatiye. Crawford was an oil
boomer at Beaumont before coming to
Chanute.
John Wall, of St. Paul, president of
the A. H. T. A, was nominated for
sheriff. Parker's name was not men
toned, and there was no fusion, as
the Populists of the county have dis
banded.

Mr. Waggamans personal notes were
given as security to those whose
money he controlled. For some years
he has been engaged In extensive oper-
atoms in the suburbs of Washington
and has had much capital tied up there
by. 1t is understood some time ago
the authorities of the Catholic univer-
sity became dissatisfied with the man
ner in which the funds in Mr.. Wag-
gaman's hands were invested, and Sc
cured a new arrangement. This new
arrangement was embodied in the set
tlenent in which the deed of trust was
a part.
The friends of the university say they
think that It will lose nothing if the
deed recorded can be sustained ds
aaginst the general creditors of Mr..
Waggaman.

Equipment for Manual Training School
Not Furnished Here.

At the last meeting of the board
/ of education the board referred the
entire matter of buying the equipment
for the manual training departments
of the ward schools and the Manual
| training school over to the committee
on supplies composed of Judge I. F.
| Carver, +. H. Hardy and W. ID. Will
| son and added Superintendent white
more and the director of manual
training, Prof. ]. H. Mcbride, to the
committee to buy the equipment. The
decision of the committee brings the
following letter from J. H FOUGHT:
To the Editor of the State Journal:
have just received a letter from
L. d. Whittemore, superintendent of
city schools saying that the contract
to supply the Topeka Manual Training
school for equipment of benches, tools.
etc, has been let to E. H. Sheldon &
Co., Chicago, and ]. B. Shannon &
Sons, Philadelphia.
The hardware merchants of Topeka
were asked to bid on Inese supplies,
evidently not thinking for a minute
that they were to bid against large
monied interests of foreign cities. Had
they known that such would be the
case 1 doubt if a single firm in the
city would have been foolish enough
to have entered the contest. If the
city school board goes outside of the
city to get lowest bids on supplies and
work to be done, why does it not go
outside to get tax payers and get them
to pay the tax necessary to build their
buildings Why does it not advertise
in foreign cities for cheap teachers
janitors, superintendent, etc, to run
our schools cheaper than our present
competent force of teachers do. They
can be had, no doubt of 1t, and perhaps
just as good and we'll qualified, but
1anitors. etc, who live mere, are taxed
here, to be compelled to enter a race
or contest for the cheapest and low
est bidders? Just as much sense in
faaRhar~S n &c
Is for the hardware dealers living here
and taxed here to build these school
houses and this Manual Training
school, which in my judgment. is no
a wagon is needed. 1 am perfectly
willing as a hardware merchant to
be underbi6 by an honorable hardware
merchant of Topeka and take the fell
low brother by the hand and con-
graduate him on his success. Why
not let Topeka men who pay taxes
and build the school houses do the
business. Let the lowest reputable bid
der here have the job. That keeps To-
peka money at home. circulates our
home money, makes the poor women
and children of our mechanics of all
KINDS laugh to see papa get home
JoD. But no, our very wise board of
prefers to throw home peo-
pie out of jobs and business and let
the sheriff sell the last vestige to pay
the tax to give a job or contract to
some large monied firm in Chicago and
Philadelphia and let our poor people
go hungry.

GOOD HAS LOST $1,000.
The Fee Buyer Must Find His
Receipts.

z. b Good, who buys fees at the
court house. has lost receipts for
$500 worth of fees he has bought.
This means that all that Good has to
show for $500 invested in fees is
lost
When Good buys fees he takes a re-
ceipt from the person he buys from
and it is upon these receipts that the
county turns the fees over to him
when they are due. AS Good has lost
the receipts he can show no claim to
the fees.
