Elks Building Committee Gets
Down to Business.
After Architect McDonald's Visit ON
February ~, Contract May
he Let.
BUILDING ABOUT AGREED UPON.

The Elks' Building committee held
a meeting last night and took steps to
begin work as soon as possible on
the Elks' new building on North
Fifth street between Broadway and
Jefferson. Several futile attempts
have been made recently to get the
committee together, but each time
other business prevented a quorum.
Last night there was a good attend
ance, and the members of the asso-
citation intend to now go about the
matter in a business-llke way, and
get ready for building.
1t was practically decided on the
kind of building to be erected. but
the details are not yet ready for the
public, as a conference with the archi-
tect, Mr.. Kenneth Mcdonald, of Lou
isville, will first have to be held.
Il was decided to hold this confer
ence in Paducah on February 18th.
and Mr.. Mcdonald will be notified to-
day to be here on that date. After
the conference 1t is expected that
most of the difficult preliminary work
will be done and the letting of the
contract should then not require
long.
The building, needless to say. is
to be one of the prettiest, as we'll as
finest, in the city. The reason the
committee is not ready to give out
anything definite about the kind of
building agreed on is that after con-
ferring with the architect 1t may be
advisable to change some of the mi
nor details. IL will be at least four
stories high. however. and possibly
five or six. The Elks have several
thousand dollars cash and can get
as much in addition as they need
without any trouble.
1t seems to be the disposition of
the Board of works to have Third
street paved as far as the council
wants 1t, but the members do not
think IT good idea to have any
street improved beyond the sewerage
district. because whenever the sew
erage is extended. which It will have
to be some day, the paved street
would have to be torn up. The orig
inal selections of the boards will
probably be adopted again. These
were to pave part of Third street,
Kentucky and Jefferson from First
to Ninth, Fifth from the N, C. & st.
l.. to the l. c. freight depot which
was to be reached by going from
Fifth to Sixth on Trimble and up
Sixth to the depot, and possibly some
of the cross streets.

HEW TO THE LINE

The true feeling of all good Ker
Is echoed in the followin
from the Louisville Herald:
1.-The Constitution and laws
of Kentucky provide for the in
dictment and prosecution of any
justice of the peace, county
Judge, sheriff, county clerk or
other county officer for misfeas-
ance or malfeasance in office.
If there is any attempt on the
part of any of such officers in
Breathitt county to defeat JUS
tice in connection with the in
dictments returned against the
Hargises in Fayette county,
there is no reason why the law
should not be set in motion to
punish them.
IF II is true that warrants
were dated January 20 of this
year, 1905, on which arrests
were made and bail allowed az
of date thirty days before, 1t
would seem that there is room
for inquiry. If there has been
any conspiracy with an accused
person TO enable him TO escape
penalty then II becomes very
serious, indeed,
LET us hope that the author
tiles of Fayette county, having
begun the work of investigation
so we'll, will push It firmly TO
completion. They are not re-
eeiying any sympathy or assist
anoe from the state authorities,
apparently, but they will receive
the support of healthy public
opinion all over Kentucky. The
time has come for the Breathitt
iniquities 10 be exposed and
punished. II would be better
for the county TO be wiped off
the map than 10 continue little
Seryian hotbed Of assassination,
outrage and intrigue dis
grace TO the state and blot on
civilization.

"The X. |. T. League, or Kitty is
the name we are known by, and un-
der which we have won reputation
for fast ball playing" declared one
officer today, "and the name we shall
keep. There would be no sense in
changing II now. Even though there
are now no Tennessee towns In the
