tive to selling the old hospital, that
nothing had been done further than
the rejection of one bid of $4,000.

1t is to be hoped that the board OF
aldermen. when the time comes, will
not concur in the silly automobile or
finance passed by the council Mon
lay. 1t is well enough 10 enact
whatever automobile legislation is
necessary to safeguard the public,
but there is no sense or reason in pro
hibiting an automobiles from leav-
ing his machine without someone in

bitches horse to it and pulls II

unnecessary expense that all of them

Burglar Got Mad Because II Was
Empty.
Thieves Entered the Whitehead Res.
taurant Hut Nothing Has Yet
Been Missed.
GANG MAY he WORKING TOWN

The restaurant of William White
head, on Broadway. between Second
and Third streets. was burglarized
last night, but nothing has been
missed. The burglar did not leave
without doing some damage, howev-
er, completely demolishing the hand
some cash register before he left.
The restaurant was closed at the
usual hour early in the night, and
II is presumed the thief entered from
the rear by climbing on the roof and
entering a window. The restaurant
proprietor always "robs" his cash
register before he leaves. and CON
sequently there was nothing left In
It. The thief. however. tore the reg
lister up. probably mad because he
failed TO find anything.
The matter has been reported TO
the police who are working on tho
case.
Night before last someone entered
the Warren a Warren jewelry store
next door. Burglaries of late have
been frequent and the police think
gang OF thieves is working the
city. Every attempt to break It up
will be made.

REPUBLICANS SHOULD ACT

Time flies, and almost before we
know 1t the summer will be past, and
election time will be here. Under the
second class charter there is a mu-
nicipal election every year, at which
half the municipal boards are cho-
sen. Last year the Republicans elect
ed their ticket and at the beginning
of the year had an equal division in
the legislative boards. This year they
have a chance to elect the other
half. Now is good time to begin
laying plans for both the city and
county campaign. The Democrats
have already nominated their county
ticket, and are trying to infuse a
little enthusiasm into their city cam
paign-thus far without any appar-
ent success.
There is always a chance for the
Republicans to win. In the city, with
good men on the ticket. they should
be able to win easily. The thing to
do now Is to begin selecting good
men for the council, board of alder
men and board of education, as well
as for the county Offices
Many of Paducahs best citizens
are Republicans, and if they will on
ly consent to permit the use of their
names in the fall municipal election,
victory for the Republicans would be
easy. 1t is the duty of every loyal cit
izen to do all he can to assist in up
building the city, which can best be
accomplished by retiring to private
life some of the Democratic mem
bers of the municipal boards.
1t is likely that the Republican
committee will shortly begin look
ing about for suitable men to run for
the various offices, and is greatly to
be desired that it select the best men
in the city. who are easily to be
found in the Republican ranks

JUSTICE YOUNG.

Did Pretty Good Business Today.
Justice Jesse Young this morning
broke the dull monotony of the mag
istrates courts by assessing fines
aggregating s170 with over $50
costs, not a bad days business for a
dull period.
Five offenders are residents of
Canaan, just beyond the Sowell mill
in Mechanicsburg, and were fined for
fighting and disturbing the peace in
general.
On the night of July 4th Tom Jack
son, Rosa Looney and Jennie Car
neal, colored, engaged in mutual
fight. They struck, beat and swore
at each other, but when the police
arrived all had led and managed to
elude the authorities until yesterday
afternoon when Constable A. c. Shell
ton got after them.
When the trial was finished today
Justice Young fined them $50 and
costs each.
On Sunday night Jim Watson and
Mollie Bolan, colored, engaged in a
little argument" which ended in
general fight. There was no blood
spilled, but the court assessed fine
OF $50 aud costs against Watson and
$50 and costs against the Bolan
woman.
