Al the hearing yesterday It was shown
that one OF the robbers lost his hat in
escaping from the saloon. a hat. found

Schneider i about the general build OF the
robber. ard that the voice is similar. but
as the lower part of the robbers face was
covered with a black cloth neither could
say that Schneider was the man.

PADUOAH,s LIGHT PLANT.

The report of the superintendent CT
the city electric light plant shows that
either the people of Paducsh do not
want good lights, or else their rep~e-
sentatives in Office do not know how
to get them. IL is very true that Pa
ducah's light plant does not represent
the investment that such plants cost
in other cities, even in smaller neigh
boring places. But there is apparently
no reason Paducah should not have as
good light plant as is necessary to
give the people good lights. For in
stance, Owensboro's light plant cost
SI24,8 $40, and Paduosh's is probably
not worth $50, 900. Yet Owensboro is
a much smaller city than Paduoah and
built her plant without issuing bond.
a thing for the general council TO
decide, consequently, is whether or not
the people ct the number and quality
of lights they are entitled 10, and
could get if an effort were made to
get them. There is no reason Padu-
cab should drag along with a little
one horse plant operated on the penny
wise moonlight schedule" advocated
by the mayor.
The example Of greensboro is suiii-
cient to illustrate what is meant. Ow-
ensboro's plant cost a lot of money.
Everything does that is worth any
thing, but a wise man will regard such
an expenditure as wise investment +,
the returns from which will amply re-
pay him in the long run. This is what
it has done in Owensboro. All the
money spent will soon be saved, Ow-
ensboro will have superb plant,
which has given the people and will
doubtless give for years, first class
lights.
At the present time Owensboro has
2s2 street lights and Paducah, a city
two or three times as large, has only
157. Owensboro lights up all the pub
lie buildings, parks, churches and
schools free of charge and yet the ope-
rating expenses of her plant last year
were only a trifle over sl3,6S4, while
those of our own plant were $12,077,
with an extra 81. $50 for new machin-
cry, lamps and extra labor. Our own

THE TIRE
In Jiffy---Local |. e. Now Have
New Apparatus.
IL Promises 20 save Much Time in
Getting of Driving wheel Tires.

This morning new apparatus for
taking of engine wheel tires WAS com.
pleted NJ the locsl / c. shops and IL
II proves successful, will save the COM
pany many dollars In labor and time.
Heretofore al engine wheel tires
have been taken OF by tho ola process
Of heating. The wheels are taken of
the CINE, rolled out IN the yards and
dumped out on the grounds where a
big fire ia built about them. IL re-
quiros several hours 10 properly heat
the wheels IN order to expand the tire
ana csuse 1t 20 fall of, but with the
new tire heater, the rim can bo re-
moved in less than half an hour and
the wheels Will not have TO be taken
of the engine to do it.
The engine IL run in the ronnd
house and jacks placed under il. The
big machine is lifted up 20 that the
wheels clear the track four inches.
The new apparatus, which il q series
of punotured pipes fitted about the
tire, is then put on and connected with
a big tank OF gasoline. The gas gem
Grated in the pipes is touched OF and
Immediately the wheel is surrounded
by a steady hot fame which beats the
tire red hot in a few minutes. Hooks
are placed on the tire and 1t is remov-
ed without the wheels haN ing to be
taken Off the engine. A new tire
is placed on the wheel by the same
operation, only vice versa.
Foreman George Duokett got
his idea Of the apparatus from o
southern road, and has improved ON
it. Apparatus for removing tires from
all size wheels, from the smallest to

The Colombian government wants
to submit the Panama question 10 the
supreme court Of the United States for
arbitration. Probably in the course
of time il will dawn on the benighted
mind of befuddled Colombia that there
is nothing to arbitrste. Panama de-
olared its independence and has been
recognized by many nations. The
United States will permit no scrapping
on the isthmus, and about the only
chance there is for Colombia to lick
Panama is for Panama to kindly step
off the isthmus and permit herself to
be licked.
