driven in. his skull crushed or his

it would have been in the other.

City taxpayers are hereby remini-

After December the first ten per
cent. will be added to all unpaid bills.
We desire to give everyone an OPP
portunity to escape this penalty.
Kindly cab at the city treasurer's
possible, and thus avoid the disoom-
fort and delay so unpleasant to all in
the g'ush OF the last days.
Very Respectfully,

City Treasurer.

1t is not clear what Mayor Yeiser
wants in the way of a tax law, but
it's very likely that whatever 1t is,
he will not get 1t. Paducah stands
about as much show to get anything
with that Lexington-Covi gton-New-
port gang against it, or to prevent
anything that Lexington. Covington
and Newport want, as a Republican
does to be elected in Louisville.

GETTING OUT THEIR HAMMERS
EARLY


The next legislature of Kentucky
will not have to do much to come up
to expectations. If the tone of the
state press, in its prelude, is to be ia
ken as significant.
The Louisville Herald remarks:
ITO be very candid, We expect
very little of good in the way of leg
islation from the next general as
sembly. The Republican party is re
duced to impotence. The majority
party will be divided into administra-
ton and anti-administration factions.
There will be, first of all, the Black
burn-Paynter fight, in which knitting,
mud throwing, sand bagging and 9TH
er strenuosities will be conspicuous.
That nasty incident closed, the tired
legislators will attempt some sort of
legislation, but will, II the recent past
is any indication of what they are
likely to do, place on the statute
book laws more nocuous than harm
less. The taxation laws at present in
force are a detriment and a disgrace
TO the state. Under these laws the
capital stock of banks, for instance.
are liable to double taxation; railroad
building is discouraged; the invest
ment of outside capital almost abso-
lutely, in certain cases, prohibited.
"A legislature OF business men
would in sixty days clear the statute
books of the state of all the archaic,
effete and demoralizing laws now in
force, and give the people modern,
effective and constructive legislation.
We look for little good from the new
general assembly, but shall be CRATE
ful for any little we get. Every little
bit helps"
The Owensboro Inquirer says:
"The legislative tax commission
has held its last session for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the views of tax
payers and students of economy, and
will now get down to work to at
tempt to formulate a bill for a reve-
nue. law. There is little hope that the
bill will be perfect bill or even a
good BILL for the reason that there
is never a disposition on the part of
Kentucky legislators to enact meas
ures of real wisdom, the tendency be
ing to play peanut politics in every
thing The tax laws now in force
in this state are as crude as legisla-
tive ignorance can make them, and
We hope for something better. The
commission could probably give
something better. but the entire body
of the general assembly will take a
hand in II and every fellow will want
10 leave his impress upon the law.
We feel fearful for the result"
It's pity we Can't take more pride
in our legislative bodies-but we
can't. As rule, very inferior, H.
literate class Of men Is 10 be found
in the general assembly. At their best
they could accomplish little Of bene-

Prisoners Employ Their Tim Q
Painting the Cells.
Jailcr Jones Allows Them All the
Opportunity They Want and
Their Work Is Good.
ONE OF THE ARTISTS GONE

"a man may be down and out in
the world, as the saying goes" Jail.
err l.. l.. Jones declared this morning
as he held the big iron door leading
to the white male department of the
| Jail open to admit the reporter, "but
| will show you where you can find
genius among surroundings where
you least expect to find It."
With this he led the way through
the Jail door and around the corridor
where the big cage brought the cells
around in consecutive order. The jail
did not present the appearance II
did on other visits for there was
something attractive about II; some
thing which appealed to the eye and
the artistic sense Of the being. Sever
al cells were artistically painted
with scenes and views of every kind.
There are three cells decorated in
this way and the painting is not of
the crude order by. any means, but is
far above the ordinary. The work is
painted on solid iron walls over bolts
and rivet heads.
The artists who did the work are
J. II. Williams, Aleck Yeltema and
Ed Tonklin, all felony prisoners. VIII
liams has gone, having been taken
away yesterday to Atlanta, Ca, to
serve an eighteen months term in
prison for raising a bill. Yeltema
is waiting investigation of case
where he Ia charged with stealing a
watch of being implicated in theft
while Tonklin is accused Of stealing
an overcoat and selling it. They have
to do something to while away the
time and so took to painting. The
jail cage is pulled about so that the
painter can work by electric light.
There is one light near the big door
and this is the light used. 1t is a
poor light in which to mix colors cor
rectly which is another drawback to
the artists. Williams painted marine
scenes with few landscapes and is
quite an artist, while Yeltema leans
towards anatomy and paints the fig
ure. He has a portrait of JaIler Jones
in his cell and several good land
scapes. Tonklin also paints from ma
ture but has one picture of an open
Bible with scroll work about II
which is an excellent piece of design
ing. considering the circumstances.
81 intend to let Tonklin and yell
tema paint all they want to, and
when they get through with one cell,
will put them in another and let
them paint TO their hearts content"
Jailer Jones declared.
The jail in McCracken county will
probably when the artists finish, be
the only "frescoed" institution of its
kind in the United States. 1t is said
to be one of two of the only jails in
the United States that have revolv-
ing cells. DR.. Arm, who was here re-
Gently doing evangelistic work. claim
cd that he had been in every county
seat in the United States, and that
there was only one other Jail in the
country that has a revolving cage,
and that is in Maine.

That yarn about Fulton lad be-
ing abducted by unknown men for an
unknown purpose, carried sixteen
miles, not molested or robbed, and
then released as mysteriously as he
is said to have been kidnapped, sounds
like the stuff you get between fiashy
covers for a five-cent piece-only it's
worse.

The Kentucky conference on char
tiles and corrections met in Owens
boro and decided to ask the state leg
islature to establish Juvenile courts,
a reformatory for women and to en-
act other legislation along that line.
The legislature will probably not do
1t, however, for it will be too busy
electing United States senator.
