Shooting at Madisonville.

Madisonville, Ky, Feb. Ia
Henry Voolfolk negro, was shot
and wounded here by DR.. John
Barker in the saloon OF Onut & Car
neal. The bullet struck Voolfolk in
the right cheek, causing a wound not
considered dangerous. DR.. Barker
claims that the negro insulted him,
but the bystanders state that the
darkey said nothing whatever to Bar
ker. Barker is the company sur
geon at Daniel Boone mine near
here. He fired several shots al
Voolfolk. but only one struck him.
He started to shoot again when John
Offut, one of the proprietors of the
saloon. told him that if he fired an
other shot at the darkey he tOnuD
would kill him. DR.. Barker was ar
rested and released on bond.

CLUES FOUND
INDICATING THAT MRS. MAN
GRUM WAS KILLED IN
NASHVILLE.
Combs, BELT and strip of silk Found
Near a Penitentiary Garbage
Chute.

The latest from Nashville in re-
gard to the Mangrum murder is that
three side-combs, a belt and strip
of silk dress of some sort have been
found near the "chute" OF the peni-
tentiary in West Nashville. The
chute is a big iron pipe through
which garbage is sent to the river. 1t
IS now believed that this is where
Mrs. Mangrum's body was dumped
into the Cumberland river. although
one thing that still puzzles the po-
lice is how the body got over the falls
at Lock A without being mangled.
Some contend that it could have gone
over without injury and others de-
clare that it could not.
The convicts at the penitentiary
remember seeing fresh tracks near
the chute December 18th, the morn
ing after Mrs. Manyrum disappeared
and the combs were picked up nearby
The combs are said to be those worn
by Mrs. Mangrum, or ones similar
The fact that Mrs. Mangrum has
never been traced out of Nashville
inclines the authorities to believS
that she. was murdered there.

The mayor does not appear To con-
slider the question of his own eiigi-
bility and that of a member of the
board of public works, parallel. Per
haps they are not, but it will require
some tall hair-splitting to determine
the difference. He claims his res.-
dence is on North Fourth street, and
the other official claims his is on
Broadway The mayor actually
lives eight or nine months in Area
dia in what he calls his summer
home" and the other official has
built a home a short distance this
side of the mayors summer home, -
and intends to reside there at least
part of the time. probably in the
summer They both intend to claim
their residence in the city, and to
vote from the precinct in which they
claim their residence. If this is not
tLeir legal residence, then the law
which permits them to vote from the
precinct is entirely wrong. The may
or's case is really worse than that of
the board of works member, for the
charter explicitly stipulates that Of
flcers elected by the people shall
actually reside" inside the eorpo-
rate limits, and declares that an OF
fetal forfeits his Office when he
ceases to reside inside the corporate
limits. The mayor is all right in
many respects. but when it comes to
his legal. opinions-spare us!

HOW CAN THE CITY DO IT?

The ngureS given out Dy lne Jolh'
light committee of the general coun-
ell after fully investigating the cost
of the city light plant are conclusive,
and are revelation to those who
have been trailing about after the
municipal ownership will o. the wisp.
The members of this committee have
thoroughly investigated the city
books, and the figures they give out
are reliable. The members of this
committee are Aldermen Palmer,
Hubbard and Bell and Councilmen
Williamson, Barnett and Katterjohn.
Is there a fair-minded man in the
city who thinks for moment that
any of these gentlemen would garble
the figures, or in any way attempt to
deceive the public?
About the only argument that is
made to counteract the conclusive
ness of the report is that the'city can
furnish light with the proper men
and machinery as cheaply as a cor
poration; and that is virtually an
admission that for ten years past the
taxpayers have been ruthlessly rob-
bed by the city; for if the city can
furnish lights as cheap as il can get
them by private contract, it has for
ten years held up the public foI
more than was necessary.
Municipal ownership advocates dc
not attempt TO explain why the city
has not been furnishing lights as
cheap as it can get them by private
contract, nor do they attempt TO ex-
plain how the city intends TO reduce
the expenses of the light plant now
and at the same time give the peo-
pie more lights and a better quality
of light than they are getting.
If the city can do it, how can II
do it? Suppose it installs better
machinery, how much will it save
and how will it save it? VIII it re-
quire any less men to run the plant
VIII il require any less fuel, less at
tention, less material. less labor?
New machinery would give M
more lights and better lights, bui
how would it reduce the expenses oI
the plant so as to make the lights
cost $63 instead of $S4?
The situation is now this: II il
admitted that the city has been pay
ing more for lights than it can get
them for now by private contract
The sentimentalists who want the
city to continue to operate its ligh
plant for the sole purpose of being
able to say that the city owns i'll
own light plant, simply say "W'
have been paying too much fol
lights, we admit. but we can furnish
them as cheap as the other fellow.
This is a good argument for thu
clty's continuing to operate its plant
provided those who offer it can make
| good. Let them demonstrate how
they intend to do it. and everybod!
will then be satisfied to have the cit!
continue to operate its plant. Al
the people want is the best anC
greatest number of lights at the leas
possible cost.
But the people want no four-fush

THE USUAL TACTICS.

Mayor Dunno. of Chicago, does
not appear to desire that the public
know the truth about municipal
ownership. He seems willing that
the city of Chicago sacrifice every
thing to a theory. and in carrying
out his rule-or-ruin policy, attempts
to suppress anything that he thinks
might show his people the fallacy Of
practical municipal ownership in
this country. The Chicago Tribune
thus describes Mayor Dunne's antics:
"Has Mayor Dunno a moral right
to persist indefinitely in making
Chicago ridiculous in the eyes Of
Glasgow and other communities by
his childish conduct concerning the
so-called Dalrymple report? At his
request Glasgow sent Mr.. Dalrymple
to Chicago to advise about the trac
tion solution. He came and embod-
led his advice in brief report which
he sent to the mayor. His Honor, not
public and tried to justify suppress
sion on the claim that Mr.. Dalrym-
pie was his personal guest and came
at his cost. Finally the city council
formally asked the Glasgow council
for Mr.. Dalrymple's views-meaning
his report-on the Chicago traction
question.
"Postponing for the moment re-
ply to this request, and with the evi-
dent purpose of showing Mayor
Dunno every possible courtesy, the
town clerk of Glasgow has now noti-
fed him of its receipt and asked If
there are any real reasons for furth-
er secrecy in the matter. The towr
clerks letter states that the original
request for Mr.. Dalrymple's aid was
understood to be made in behalf, not
of any private individual, but of the
city of Chicago; that ii was 'fullX ex-
pected that any report made by. Mr..
Dalrymple would be accessible not
only to the council of Chicago, but to-
the council of Glasgow, and that un-
less Mayor Dunno is prepared to
submit Mr. Dalrymple's report to the
council of Chicago or to show some
good reason why it should not be
submitted to them or to the mem
bers of the Glasgow council. Mr. Dali
rymple will be directed TO report to
the latter body.
Mayor Dunne's reply is unworthy
of his office and of his city He
merely reiterates the claim-trival,
even If accurate-that Mr.. Dalrym-
pie was his personal guest, and the
further claim, undignified at best,
that the report is his absolute prop
erty, because he paid Mr.. Dalrym-
pies expenses, and deprecates its
publication unless materially chang.
ed. What must Glasgow think Of
Chicago. judged by this pettifogging
treatment of an important public
matter? 1t is to be regretted that
the mayors sense of humor fails be-
fore the idea of a private citizens
calling upon a foreign municipality
