TO INCORPORATE
FIFTH GLASS CITY
Citizens of Tyler Are COnsid-
ering ACCESSIBILITY
Progressive suburb Of Paducah Has
the Requisite Number Of In
49, habitants.
COMBINE SCHOOL DISTRICTS

Tyler, Ky, probably will be incor-
porated as city of the fifth class.
Several aggressive citizens OF that
town are setting on foot a movement
TO have the town incorporated. 1t
requires only a thousand persons TO
incorporate as city OF the fifth
class. aud Tyler and the district IL
is proposed to Incorporate have l,509
or 2,00s.
Many distinct local advantages are
expected to accrue from incorporat-
ing the town. II probably will be
only a few years ill Paducah Will
want to include Tyler In its city linz
It's, but In the meantime, purely %
cal needs could be greatly advanced
through Incorporation.
A city OF the ffth class must have
a mayor, a council of six members,
police. Judge. treasurer. city attor-
ney, clerk. marshal. assessor and
such other officers as the council
may add. The mayor. council and
police Judge would be elected and
the council would appoint all other
officers.
As an Incorporated city. railroads,
street railways aud az public utili-
ties would have to secure franchises
just as In Paducah they must secure
them. The citizens of that town,
noticing that the suburbs OF a city al
Ways are least improved and neces-
sarily yet a small part OF public i'm
provements. believe that Tyler
could do much more for itself as a
separate city. than II Il should wait
until Paducah saw 1T to take Il In.
They would get better police protec-
ton, could dictate to corporations
seeking franchises, their own terms
aud not the terms which. as a part
OF this city. 10 order to eQualize the
benefits and burdens. might not give
them all they desire.
The steps TO be taken to do that
are TO present a petition with the sig
natures OF two-thirds of the voters OF
the district which proposes to in
corporate, to the circuit court. The
circuit court will then fix the name OF
the city. define it's boundaries and
have the census taken. At the next
session OF the state legislature a
charter can be secured.
This afternoon the trustees OF
school districts Nos. and % which
adjoln in the heart OF Tyler, will
meet with County Superintendent $.
J. Billington. The object OF the
meeting Is 10 consider the advisable
ity OF merging the two districts and
organizing graded school system.
AT present each school district has
three trustees and II these two unite
TO form graded school system,
there will be FIVE trustees. They will
have the common grammar grades OF
the city public school system and
whatever additional grades they de-
sired to add. They could levy tax
to support the system.
In one OF the districts mentioned,
there are nearly 200 pupils. The
county school year lasts for six
months and the new graded school
system could be made much better
Tyler has been separate post
Office many years and he progressive
spirit which always has distinguish
ed the town. probably will go so fas
as 10 have II incorporated.

Vesuvius seems probable. The earth
quake is the result of the action of
some mighty force. 1t occurred just
when the force that had caused Vesu-
vius to cast out mountain Of matter.
had seemingly spent it's strength. The
unscientific mind which reaches con-
illusions without circumlocution, is
forced to conclude that the same force
which had sought to escape through
the mountain of fire was turned in
other directions and spent it's force in
the fair city by the Pacific.
But whether this be true or not, it is
certain that man is as nothing when
compared with nature. In three
minutes the work of half century,
was laid in ruins. and the wealth for
which thousands had spent their lives
became as worthless as the sand on
the seashore.
The scinnic center OF the earthquake,
or the point in the interior of the
earth from which the action starts is
never at Il greater depth than thirty

quake it was found to be only about
twelve miles. In that instance the
shock was felt from Florida to New
England. and westward to Iowa.
The Pacific coast has had frequent
earthquakes but they have been of a

of mountain building is still in process,
and that the basis OF the coast range
is yet unsettled and that the convolu-

If this theory be true that part of
the earth surface must for ages prob
ably remain the play ground of the
unbridled forces OF nature.
Earthquakes have been among the
great catastrophies of the world. That

those of Charleston and San Francisco
have added to the sum total of the

THE HOME OF VULCAN.

The awful catastrophe which in the
early morning hours yesterday brought
ruin and death to a fair city. and cast
a pail of gloom over the nation. but
illustrates the we'll known truth that
in the midst of life we are in death.
Without a moments warning the
fearful CONFUSION of nature shook the
great buildings as though they. were
toys and tossed them down on the un-
fortunate occupants as though they
were pygmies in the hands of giant.
The great work of world making
goes on. and the mind of man has not
been able to penetrate the secrets Of
nature far enough to determine which
mighty forces yet lie dormant within
the interior of the earth.
That the great convulsion which
