Paducah May Have to Raise
This to Get it.
Local Promoters Are Confident That
This Amount May BE Raised
In This District.
NOTHING DEFINITE KNOWN YET

Mr. II. c. Rhodes. of the firm of
Rhodes Co., who is presi-
dent OF the local committee appoint
cd to secure the location of the
proposed new Methodist college
here, went to Louisville on business
at noon and from there will go To
Chicago. While In Louisville he will
look into the college matter with
view OF bringing around some def
mite understanding about Paducah's
show of securing the college.
"Paducah is favored more than
any other city by the committee ap-
pointed to oversee sites, and We be-
lleve that We can land the college II
we can raise the necessary amount
OF money" Mr.. Rhodes declared to-
day.
This college will be a benefit to
the state at large and will mean a
great deal for Paducah If she Sc
cures IL. The consideration finan-
cially will mean that 100000 be
raised to build the college, that is,
TO build the dormitory and essential
buildings. leaving the remainder to
be built later, IL the college should
be established here. You see there
Is an endowment fund amounting to
more than enough to build such
college, but II is not desired that
this be expended in building. but in
running the college after it is built,
to insure that it viii be safe for the
future.
81 think that we can draw from
this district the necessary 100000
within GO days and after my return
from Louisville. something will be
done"
This is the first definite informa-
tion ever given out about Paducah's
chances of securing this college
The committee appointed to go over
the state and look at the different
sites, was supposed TO report on the
10th, but nothing has been heard
from Louisville relative to its action.

1t is the Warmest Day for Jan
nary Eyer Known Here.
The Highest Temperature Was .3
Degrees, Lowest Last Night,
Which Was 30.
COLDER AND SNOW PROMISED.

Today. January Goth, 1906, will
be set down in weather history as
one of the hottest January days ev-
er experienced in this section. In
fact, it has been the warmest Janu-
airy day in the history of the city as
far back as the weather records have
been kept, Mr.. VIM. Borneman, To-
cal government weather observer,
stating today that he could not re-
member another such January day.
The only recorded instance where
the mercury reached anything like
the heighth reached today during
any month of January, was in 1880
on January 18th, twenty-five years
ago, when the highest registered was
~ degrees.
Today has been one degree hotter,
the official government thermometer
registered shortly after noon rs de-
grees. The lowest was about so de-
grees.
People discarded overcoats and
even their regular suit coats. be-
cause of the weather. There was a
strong wind blowing all day, but the
heat could be felt, and winter seemed
to have suddenly been converted in
90 spring. Teamsters and laborers
of all kinds perspired freely and
worked in shirt sleeves and some
with arms barred. Windows were
thrown open and steam heat shut
off in hundreds of business houses
and residences Front doors were
all thrown open in the business sec
tion of the city and from every indi-
cation summer had come again.
"1n 1880" Weather Observer
VIM. Borneman stated "the temper
ature reached ~ degrees, but | find
today it has gone up one degree high
er, and can not remember nor find
a record of another such January
day.
81 find after consulting my rec
ords, that the coolest day in Janu
airy in this section was on January
9TH 1884, the year of the high water.
when it fell to 20 degrees below ze-
ro. Few people will remember this
and some will not believe, yet it is
a positive and indisputable fact.
This month the lowest point thus
far reached in temperature was IS
degrees above"
Mr.. Borneman looks for cold
weather during February, and says
that the ground should freeze once,
any way, during the winter. for the
sake of good health.
The weather forecast as sent out
of Louisville offers some relief from
the unusual weather. 1t reads:
For K.ntucky-Showers and cold
er tonight. Sunday decidedly cold
er and probably snow flurries.
The wind today has been from the
south, gradually changing to the
southwest. The clouds were broken
but continued to blow by throughout
the day. Local prognosticators say
snow will come in plentiful quanti-
ties If the wind gets into the west.

Coal Operators Will Not Meet
Miners.
President Baer Will Meet Them
Miners All Demand An Increase
for the Year.
SUB COMMITTEES
DISAGREE

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 20.--Trou-
Bile of the most acute kind broke out
yesterday when il was ann ,unced in
a quiet way to the anthracite miners
that the big coal operators would not
personally meet the miners to fix a
new wage scale.
The miners were Informed tina.
the conference to make a hard coal
scale would be held in New York
February Is, but that outside OF
President Baer, of the Reading road,
no other big operator would be pres
ent. Baer will be there because he
has promised President Mitchell he
would. The intention is for the
superinendents of the anthracite
mines to meet the miners. Presi-
dent Baer has decided that the first
meeting will be simply of a prellmi-
nary nature and that it would be be-
meath the dignity of the Millionaire
owners of the coal trust to attend
such a conference.
''If we cannot settle the PROPOSE
ton in preliminary meeting it will be
time enough to discuss the attend
ance of the big coal operators after
our failure," President Baer Is re-
ported to have told President Mitch
ell.
There were many protests when
the ultimatum of President Baer,
who claims to represent the opera
tors who own the coal fields by di-
vine dispensation, became known.
The hard coal miners, who are led by
some of the brightest leaders in the
worlds labor movement, declared
that they would not stand 10 Z Sd|f5
from the coal trust.
Illinois miners threw bombshell
into the convention by declaring for
17A per cent increase in wages
and slx-hour day. Besides, they
demand that every employe be paid
the same advance. Ohio and other
miners are just as determined.
The Illinois miners demand that
engineers and firemen be granted an
eight-hour day. Resolutions were
presented from every bituminous
mining state outside the four COM
petitive states demanding more
wages. From Montana, Arkansas.
Alabama, Kentucky and every other
state outside the four competitive
states the cry has gone up for more
wages.
The scale committee is divided
into subcommittee. All of them
met yesterday and not one failed to
break up in disagreement. The
members of all the subcommittee
fought for an increase. The dis
agreement was over the amount.
When the subcommittee report to
the full committee, probably a set
tlement on common basis will be
The miners say:
"The miners will fix the wage
scale. The operators are not MEM
bers of this convention. They should
keep still" 4

STYLES in FAVOR.
GARMENTS AND MATERIALS FOR
THE FALL.
ralored Shirt Waists In Silk Have
the Popular Faney-Many New
Ideas Will Mark the
Coming Season.

Tailored shirt waists in silk will be
smart for street wear this fan And
# advance fashions are followed lin
gerie waists will become practically
obsolete except for use in the house,
for in the best shops hand embroid-
cred and lace trimmed linen and lawn
enes are now sold only for immediate
wear. for already the stylish new de
signs in silk have become fayorites.
These tailored silk waists are not
severely plain, AS the word tailored
implies, at least those That are fash
ionabie now, for though simply made
they are quite ornate, being trimmed
with fuungs of the materials of which
they are fashioned. and with buttons
either covered with silk to match, "a
contrasting shade, or with ones that
give a brightness that is a new de-
parture with the regulation shirt waist
patterns.
Tucks and plaits are Characteristic
OF these waists, and unless there are
a series of three or four fine pintucks
IN the back or front, or two or three
plaits, half inch size, in a semi-htting
back and a loose front. the models
will lack the stamp OF fashion that
is essential for an up-to-date woman
nowadays.
The sleeves, too. unlike those in the
average shirt waist, are dressy. They
are tight fitting from the waist to the
elbow, and plain or with small tucks
or plaits Some OF them are fastened
on the underside with tiny pearl but
tons or those in bright gilt or imita-
ton silver to match the ones used on
the waist.
Above the elbow the sleeves are
large leg o. muttoH in shape, gathered
into the shoulders. and at the elbows
with shocking, in tiny tucks, or with
shirring. The sleeves alone give these
waists a smart and dressy effect that
is lacking with most such patterns
and will make them as appropriate for
afternoon wear as for street use.
A model dlat will doubt.ess be a
favorite with young girls has a strip
Of lace down the front plslt, with a
piece at either cum. These touches Of
white give pretty, fresh. and youth
