The reported sale OF the Star the
atef circuit 10 John Considine, as pub
liahed in the dispatches from Port
land. Sunday. was premature. It is
known that consIdlne has been ne
|gotIatIng for the purchase Of the prop
erty, btu a telegram to Manager Ger
vurtz OF the Star yesterday from s.
Morton Cohen, states that the deal Is
on. and there win be no change. what
ever in the circuit. The report that
Mr.. Gervurtz was TO be sent to some
other place met with many express
sions OF regret in Astoria, where Mr..
and Mrs. Gervurtz have many friends.
Ben Smith and A. f. Miller OF Sea-
side killed a large bear In the vicin-
ity Of that town last Friday that
weighed sls pounds, Ben packed 400
pounds and Miller As pounds out of
the woods. The head and hide have,
been shipped TO a taxerdimist at Port
land. Both gentlemen remembered
number of their friends in Astoria
yesterday by sending up some choice
cuts OF the bear by Jim Cummings.
Smith and Miller are only two bears
behind President Roosevelt and ex-
pect 70 catch up with him during the
month. Roosevelt, smith and Miller
can now be considered the champion
bear hunters OF the United States.
II Is very doubtful IL the county
court viii make any appropriation for
an exhibit to the Lewis and Clark
fair. The county court is OF the opin-
ion that It Is too late to commence
now that the sum OF $1,000, which the
county court II allowed TO spend would
not much more than pay some repre-
resentative to go to Portland and at
tend to the exhibit. and II is not fair
that the county should appropriate a
small amount when the large prop
erty owners have not slgnIhed their
willingness to contribute. To make
any kind of an exhibit would cost at
least $4,000. and poor exhibit would
be worse than none at ALL Even II
$500 had been raised in addition to the
$500 paid or to be paid the Overland
Monthly, It is possible that the mat
ter might be considered, but it is
certain the county court win not make
any appropriation at It's meeting to-
morrow,

PADUCAH THROWS OFF THE
YOKE

louisville Post)
Paducah seemed Indifferent, and
the Democratic leaders felt perfectly
safe. But when the returns were all
in every Democrat but one was
beaten. The Paducah Sun gives the
credit to the independent voter, and
from the vantage ground of we'll
earned victory sends its commisera-
tons to Louisville.
That is the position in which Louis
Vile stands before the whole state.
Outside observers understand the
situation here. They are familiar
with the perpetual falsehoods of the
Courier-JoWnal. They know how
the police were marshaled in 1899 to
overawe the state convention. They
listen to the tales of returning breth-
rem plundered by the Amalgamated
Union of Crooks and Police, and they
wonder at the patience of the city of
Louisville. Today before the state
and before the country Louisville
stands the one place where a worse
than Russian police has dubbed a
whole city into temporary uncon-
seriousness.
Yet from bordering over her own
humiliation, Louisville turns aside
for moment to send her eongratula-
tons to Paducah and to Breathitt
county.

Ripley. Tenn. Nov. l5.-The
members OF the Methodist church
voted resolution inviting the an
nual conference here next year. Not
only the Methodist denomination,

CUTTING DOWN THE TAX RATE.

CUTTING DOWN THE TAX RATE.
The efforts TO curtail city expenses
will meet with hearty approval Ev-
cry taxpayer seems to favor 1t.
number of municipal offices can be
consolidated and the salaries now
paid be reduced or cut of entirely,
without injuring the people in any
way. 1t Is understood that plans are
now in process of formation by which
the city can cut down its salary ex-
penses alone $4,000 or more year.
This coming year the city hospital
will be little or no expsnse, and may
prove a source of revenue. Mayor
Yeiser may prove no obstruction IN
reducing expenses, as he says he 10
in favor of it if it can be done, but
he does not think that it can be done
the coming year to the extent that
the members elect desire 10 reduce
Il.
All that is necessary to do is to
use a little common sense and judg-
ment however, and where an office
can be dispensed with without injury
to the convenience or welfare of the
public, it should be done.
There is talk of reductions in the
police department. but nothing def-
mite has been decided. 1t is under
stood that the new members of the
boards recognize the value of city
detective or plain clothes work, and
there is no doubt but that Paducah S
detectives have done a great deal OF
good work. Plain clothes work is an
auxiliary of every city police foroc,
and It can safely be predicted that
Paducah, having tried it and found
il invaluable, will not be quick to dis
pense with it.
Every taxpayer who has been
heard to express an opinion, however,
wants reduction of tax rate, and
the various plans for accomplishing
it are being eagerly discussed.

Louisville in reaching some kind of
conclusions New York, Nov. Ill
am sorry to hear that my successor
in charge of the Second Baptist
church of st. Louis. DR.. Biting, has
tabooed politics in the pulpit. DR.. An
derson, one of my predecessors, made
the Second church famous by his po-
litical stand in 1861, because his
church stood by him. DR.. Biting has
poor advisers. In every political is
sue there is a moral side The church
can not stand for political hypocrisy.
Woe to the preacher who does not
recognize this! If religion has moth
ing to do with political questions,
