Only Routine Business Will be
Transacted.
The Presidents Message No. Likely
to Be Read Until Tuesday
Morning.
NO EXTRA SESSION LIKELY

Washington. Dec. 3.-on the
stroke of ~ Monday. the second ses-
sion OF the fifty-eighth congress will
be called to order by President Pro
TEN Frye in the senate and by
Speaker Cannon In the house.
When the gavels OF the presiding
officers summons the senators and
representatives to duty nearly every
member will be in his seat. but only
routine business will be transacted.
The chapeains will pray. the rolls
will be called. the SECULAR resolutions
OF notification will be passed. com
mittees to inform the president will
be appointed and adjournment will
follow out of respect for the deceas-
ed members. The presidents mes
sage generally is received and read
the first day. but the senate is pune
tilious Ia certain matters and is al
most sure TO adjourn as a tribute Of
respect TO the late Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts,. and the late Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania.
The message, therefore, probably
will not be read until Tuesday.
II can be safely predicted that
there will be no extra session and no
tariff revision.

Supreme Court Counting the
Ballots.
Democratic Returns Padded and Re.
publicans Votes We're Not
Counted.
DEMOCRATS WERE BOUND OVER

Denver. Col, Dec. S.-Hearing in
the contempt cases growing out of
the alleged violations of injunction
writs issued previous to the recent
election was resumed in the supreme
court yesterday.
The substance OF charges against
the men is that they conspired to
steal the election in the precinct in
which they served by stuffing the bal
lot box; that they drove out the Re
publican election officers, refused to
appoint a Republican clerk of cleo
ton and interfered with supreme
court watchers.
Chief Justice Gabbard ordered the
ballot box brought into court and
opened. The clerk of the court count
ed 325 ballots. The returns made BY
the election officials and certified by
the election commission in the Off
cial canvass was 372.
II is claimed that a number of bal
lots placed in the box we're not those
of legal voters, and the court ap-
pointed two handwriting experts to
examine the ballots. They will deter
mine which, il any, are fraudulent
and will report tomorrow.
1t was also developed during the
counting of the ballots that there was
a discrepancy between the number OF
straight Republican votes returned
by the election officials and the num-
her disclosed when the box was open
ed today. The court found 116 of this
description, whereas tn returns
showed 70.

Basket Ball Team Failed to
Arrive.
Late Edition of the High School
Paper Is q Credit to
Pupils.
OTHER LATE SCHOOL NEWS

A basketball game between the
Paducah and Cairo High school
teams was scheduled for this after
noon at the Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium,
but on account OF the failure OF the
Cairo team to come up, was not
played.
The members of the High school
team were at the depot this morning
to meet the Cairo party which should
have numbered about ten, but not
one showed up. II Is presumed that
the inclement weather caused the
failure OF the Egyptian team to put
in attendance and II was a great dis
appointment to the local team.
The Paducah High school team
defeated the Cairo school team sew
eral weeks ago, and Immediately ar
ranged a return date for Paducah,
the Cairo girls wanting revenge.
The Paducah team, however, was
not asleep and had been practicing
steadily for the game. not intending
that the visitors take away the lau-
rels won in the Egyptian city.
Instead Of the regular game for
which 25 cents admission would
have been charged. the High school
team arranged an exhibition game
for this afternoon and charged 10
cents admission. The girls have an
excellent team and are not afraid of
defeat from any other team in this
end of the state.

accident.
The boys rugged up post about
eight feet high on an open lot in the
south side and made II fast as pos
sible. They tackled cross arms at

They rugged up something that on
close examination might be taken
for an imitation Of the High school
escape. but the first trial Of the
youngsters to go down it was not
altogether a success.
The boys made a crude ladder
aud mounted the top of the minia-
ture escape. The ladder was remov-
ed and the little fellow then sat
down with the expectation of get
ting a nice rotary slide to the bot
tom, but was greatly surprised.
With a cracking sound, foretell-
ing the giving away of the tin and
post, the post began to sway. but
the tin gave away first. The little
fellow tumbled straight to the bot
tom of the apparatus and was pick
ed out of mass of tin. his clothes
torn and his body scratched in more
than a dozen places.
