of Works is Accepted.
NEW ISLAND CREEK BRIDGE,

The board of public works at its
regular meeting yesterday afternoon
decided to recommend to the legisla-
tive boards that the Caldwell street
culvert not to be built this year. The
cost is found to be more than antici-
pated and ii is deemed advisable to
wait until next year.
The figures in the bids submitted
last night by George Katterjohn,
John Lane and w. b. Milne, the only
three 10 submit bids, will be straight
ened out today by City Engineer l..
A. Washington so the exact cost can
be ascertaintd, but it Is already
known from hasty computation
that the cost will be too great.
The Paducah Traction and Light
company was given permission to
move its switch on Madison street
near 18th around to 18th street be-
tween Clay and Trimble. change
the company believes will improve
the service
The board discussed new bridge
over Island creek at Fourth street.
One is badly needed. and will be nee
essary next year when the street car
company extends its line to Mechan-
icsburg. Such bridge would cost
several thousand dollars. and cannot
be built until next year. hence no
faction was taken by the board.
Street Inspector Alonzo Elliott was
ordered to keep the streets in bstter
and cleaner condition.
The bids on the concrete culvert
ware figured. out this morning by
City Engineer l.. A. Washington and
are as follows:
John Lane. first. s3,169; G. w.

SECOND CROP
OF Apples On North Side Apple
Tree.

M. II. r. Robertson. OF the local
|. C. shops, has an apple tree in his
yard on the North Side which has the
second crop of apples.
The first crop of apples came early
in the summer and during the past
several weeks new blooms came and
small apples formed. The applesi
are not really ripe, but take on red
dish hue. They are veiy small and
unfit for use. but the fact that the
tree bore apples twice in one season
is remarkable and Mr.. Robertson has
on display al the shops several twigs
of the tres containing fruit.

tains," said John Henshaw, of the
Shotgun" company. 1.-THE old ma
tive was caught red-handed in MAX
ing this Illicit liquor and all of his
paraphernalia, including the long
copper worm was brought into
court. One of the unique bits of
evidence offered, / think, was the in
PRODUCTION of a gallon of the moon
shine whiskey, which was passed
around among the jurors who were
to determine whether it really was
moonshine whifkey or not. They
all sampled it, and after listening to
the harangues of the voluble law
yers on each side. filed solemnly to
the jury room. After a short delay
they came back.
Gentlemen of the jury said the
judge, you have come to decision
as to the guilt or innocence of this
prisoner?'
"'No, yuah honah, replied the
foreman reflectively, as he gazed at
the moonshipe whiskey reposing on
a table in front of the judges desk.

HON. POLK HEAD.
Paducah Man is Nicely Noticed by
Machine-Paynter Organ.

The Frankfort State Journal, the
Paynter organ, yesterday says:
Hon. Louis Polk Head, Demo-
cratic nominee for the legislature
from McCracken county, is in the
city on business with some of the
state' departments. Mr.. Heads ca
reer in politics has been rather re-
markable. He is printer by trade,
and good one, lynotyper by edu-
cation, and a swift one. When the
campaign for representative opened
up Mr.. Head announced his candi-
dacy. and quietly pursued his can
vass, working at his trade during the
hours allotted by labor and making
his canvass during the hours of
recreation and sleep. There were
old campaigners and politicians who
affected to treat the young printers
candidacy lightly. 1t may be that
the opposition of the old campaign
ers helped him, perhaps the sena-
torial question gained him some
votes; certain it is that when the
votes were counted Mr.. Head had a
very comfortable lead and was de-
clared the nominee. Mr.. Head will
lead the ticket in the election and
will prove a very useful member of
the next body, for he is not only a
hard worker. but he has the ability
to show what he knows about public
questions"
