WAS 1T SUICIDE?
st. Paul Man Found With a Hole in
His Head.

st. Paul, Jan. 6.-Charles Crista-
dero, capitalist, art connoisseur. for
estry expert and magazine writer of
some note, was shot and probably IA
tally wounded in his Office in the
German- American bank building this
afternoon. It is not yet determined
whether the shooting was accidental
or with suicidal intent. Cristadoro
had sent his stenographer out OF the
room on an errand, and few mo-
ments later a revolver shot attracted
the attention of other occupants of
the Office. Cristadoro was found lean
ing against his desk, bullet wound
in his abdomen and smoking revolt
yer on the floor beside his chair.
Cristadoro has been in poor health

$4,000 FOR THE
POSYOFFICE HERE
Effort TO Be Made to Have the
Broadway Side Remodelcd.
Congressman Ollie James to Try for
S25,OOO Appropriation for
tho Work.
HE THINKS HE CAN GET 1T

II is believed that congress at
this session will appropriate about
$4,000 or $4,000 for remodeling
the Broadway side of the govern
ment building in Faducah. and Post
master F. NJ. Fisher will leave Mon
day for Washington to do all posi-
BILE to obtain the appropriation.
Congressman Ollie James, when
here last, said he believed that he
could secure the appropriation, and
invited Postmaster Fisher to come to
Washington to assist.
The Broadway side of the building
is very "barnlike," according to good
judges of architecture. 1t is not only
unattractive in many ways, but is in
convenient as well.
II is desired to put another portico
on that side in front of the new door,
to put in revolving storm doors. a
hardwood screen, with a new box
outfit, and other incidentals that
would make the building much bet
ter in every way. 1t is understood
that the supervising architect at
Washington recommends the i'm
provement.
The government building was re-
modelled a year or two ago at a
cost of 100000 or more because 1t
had become absolutely necessary to
provide more room for federal court,
the postoffice and other government
departments.
The hardwood screens means oak
windows all around from the car
riers' windows in the Broadway side,
10 the general delivery, money or
der, and stamp windows on the Fifth
street side.

SHANGHAI RIOTS
CAUSED BY GIRLS
They Had Been Kidnapped and
Held.
British Ordered Girls Taken to Char
liable Institution the Chinese.
Magistrate Disagreed.
CHINESE ARE GREATLY EXCITED

Victoria, b. c., Jan. G.-Fifteen
kidnapped Chinese girls from Sechuen
province were the innocent cause o.
the recent anti-foreign uprising in
Shanghai.
Two women and three men had
been arrested for kidnapping them the
steamship Empress of India reports
and when they were held for trial be-
fore the mixed court the British res
ident of the court directed that ;ne
girls be taken to the Door of Hope,
foreign charitable institute. to be
cared for until after the trial. at
which they would be needed as wit
nesses.
The Chinese magistrate, Mr. Kuan
insisted that the girls be placed in
the cells OF the mixed court. and his
runners attacked the foreign police
under Cadet officer Fenton. who were
defending them. The police resisted
and riot ensued in which Inspec-
tor Gibson and some Chinese were
slightly hurt.
Finally the police hustled the girls
into vans and removed them.
The Chinese magistrate and his az
sociates shouted 10 the native mu-
nicipal constables that If they obey
ed the foreigners they would be pun
ished severely under Chinese law.
These officers remained loyal. how
ever. to their foreign employers.
The magistrate managed to get
the compound gates shut and shout
ed that the vans would pass only
over his body. He was hustled aside
and the vans forced through.
When the incident was noised
about the Chinese became greatly ex-
cited, indignation meetings were
held and the Chinese government or
dered the prisoners released.
The foreign consuls tlegraphed fol
more warships. Three were then in

gathered. the torch was applied. a

large number wounded including the
German consul Fifteen thousand
Chinese soldiers in plain clothes are
said to have been in the mob.

bic to roughs who took advantage OF

Valuable Property Assessed
Much Too Low, Says Supervisor
The Board to Ask For u Map of the
City to Facilitate Its Work
I'm the Future.
MANY RAISES ARE TO BE MADE.

The city supervisors, Messrs. r.
G.. Caldwell. f. G. Boone and w. X.
Holland. are busy raising city prop
erty, but have much more work on
hand than they can do. A member
of the board said today that 1t was
almost impossible to do the work
right owing to the lack of a map. He
said that the supervisors would petit
ton the legislative boards at once
for a map of the city. in order that
the equalization may be facilitated,
If not this time, then for next year.
The city has map now that is
partially complete, but 1t is not in
dexed, and is said to be little better
than nothing. The board may sit
twenty-eight days, under the charter.
but has been told to sit as long as its
work requires.
The city assessment is very unsat-
isfactory, it is said. A member Of
the supervisors board said today
1t seems, as far as they have gone.
that the small property owners, and
those who own property in the resi-
dence and suburban parts of the city,
are the ones who are getting the hot
end of the assessment, and that the
owners of valuable property are the
ones who are escaping their share OF
the tax burden, thus making 1t hard
er on those whose property is fairly
assessed. He declared that one
building was found for which the
owner had refused $4,000. and 1t is
assessed at only $4,000. 1t is that
way all over the business part of
town, he declared. and the present
board, from his statement. Will mike
heavy raises on valuable property.
The only trouble now IS in getting
at all the property, and having time
to do the work as it should be done.
This member of the board said he
thought the total valuation in Padu-
cab should be fully $4,000 zoe, more
than It has been.
1t is understood that raise OF
$4,000 was made in one piece of
property yesterday.

BOY NOT HERE.
IL Was Thought for Time That
Kidnapped Child Was Found.

kilograms received today from
Indianapolis, Ind, revealed the fact
that ii was reported there that Il. S.
Byers, the wealthy citizen of Seely-
Vile, Ind, had found his missing
son in Paducah on shanty boat. Mr..
Byers is the man who has sent large
placards all over the country Offer
ing $500 reward for his little son,
who has been missing several months
and is believed to have been stolen
by gypsies.
1t was learned at the police sta
ton station here that boy had
been found here on shantyboat,but
injury proved that he was not the
boy. as he was IL years old, had bur
one eye, and had been raised by
man named Davis. with whom he
still lives. Both the man and boy told
the same story. so the police were
satisfied he is not the boy.

Bradstreet's Report.

New York, Jan. 6.--While unsea-
sonable adversely affects the retail
trade and wholesalers. al the same
time it highly favors the leading in
dustries and outdoor activities and
facilitates railway transport Spring
trade really shows rather more than
the usual life requests for prompt
shipments being in evidence earlier
than usual. Bank clearings break all
records for the holiday period, re-
hecting the heavy end of the year dis
bursements and stock speculation.
There seems to be general concen-
sus of opinion that 1906 promises ex-
ceedingly well in all lines of trade
and industry.
Snow falls and slightly colder
weather in the northwest are wei
coined for their present and future
effects on trade. Collections are like
ly to be helped also.
Spring trade in the east shows
more life in cotton goods and in shoe
buying from manufacturers who are
being pressed for deliveries. Worst
ed mills have had an extraordinary
. season.
Industrial lines are as active as
heretofore. Manufacturers have en-
tered upon the year with a heavy
volume of business booked and with
excellent prospects for a continuance
of activity. Iron and steel business
is of an excellent character for pc
riod that is unusually dull. Lead Is
quiet but firm, and there is less ac-
tiyity in spelter.
