MESSAGE ANNOUNCING DEATH
OF FORMER AGENCY MAN
MIsDIREcTED
"Mrs. Rachel Lynne" is Wife of vii.
liam Lint OF Agency-John Lint,
Their Son, Died at seattle-No Par.

From Wednesdays Daily.
1t was ascertained last evening that
the message at the Western Union
Telegraph office announcing the death
OF John Lynne" Spokane, Wash,
and addressed to Mrs. Rachael Lynne,
as stated in yesterdays Courier, was
intended for Mrs Rachael Lint, wife of
John Lint of Agency. The message bore
the sad intelligence of the death of
their son, John Lint, formerly a resi-
dent of Wapello county.
Mrs. Lint is a sister of William Nc
Gee of this city, and it was only after
Chief of Police Daniel Harmon has re-
ceived a second message from the un-
dertaller at Spokane, in which he was
referred to MCGEE for further informa-
ton. that the identity of Mrs. Lynne"
could be established
Mr.. and Mrs. Lint were notified late
last evening but no further information
has been received either at Ottumwa
or Agency as to the particulars of
their sons death. The Ottumwa re-
latives stated this morning that while
they had not been positively informed,
they believed that the remains would
be brought back to Ottumwa for burial.

THE NEW JEwELRY STORE.
N. w. cowIes Opens Splendid Store at
2o5 East Main Street.

With an entirely remodeled room,
new fixtures and we'll selected stock.
N. w. Coles has opened his new jewel
ry store at 205 East Main street, in
the former location of the Iowa Nation
al bank. Since the removal of the
bank to the Ennis building. carpenters
and painters have been busy in the
former banking room and have con-
! verified it into an excellent location for
a jewelry store. Almost at the corner
of Main and Market streets it is con-
venient for shoppers, and the splendid
stock of jewelry, watches, clocks, ETC.,
affords an opportunity for judicious
buying that will be appreciated and
taken advantage of by the people of
Ottumwa.
The new jewelry store will carry a
complete line of jewelry goods of all
kinds, watches of all kinds, styles and
prices; rings, diamonds and other
precious stones, silverware in sterling
and plate, cut glass, hand painted
china and the popular brass wares. In
addition there will be full line of
optical goods and supplies, and special
of watches and articles Of jewelry.
| In addition to the general STOCK, or
which it will suffice to say that it is
complete and up to the highest stand
ard, Mr.. Cowles has on display an es-
pecially pretty line of articles suitable
for wedding gifts. Numerous beauti-
full pieces of cut glass, ranging from
large bowls to dainty glasses In sets
and smaller single pieces. Especial at
tention was given also to the selection
of the stock of hand painted china for
| the new store an dthe result is seen in
splendid assortment-of delicately tint
ed and finely executed pieces. The
new Clarus ware, American pottery,
beautifully glazed and trimmed in var
ious styles with gold and silver, will
doubtless prove very popular as has
already the ornamental articles in
brass, which include jardenieres, can
delabra, single candle sticks, loving
cups and smaller articles.
Mr.. Cowles is graduate optician
and will soon have room completed
for testing eyes. He will carry a full
line Of optical goods and will fit glass
es to correct any defect Of vision.
/ The new jewelry store is now open
for business and cordial invitation is
extended to the people of the city and
vicinity to visit it and examine the
goods on display. whether with the OBJ
ject of buying or not.

tice at putting the shot and hammer
and also work at tennis. a tennis
court has been rugged up in the rear
OF the High school building and
members of the athletic department

No definite arrangements have
been made relative TO the meet, but
this matter will be brought to a

the regular work. One of the feat
ures of the meet will be cross

runners in the High school team.
Cairo is willing to come but wants
only a one day meet. Metropolis has

willing for three days meet as Pa
ducah has suggested. Definite ar
rangements are expected right away.

OTHER NEWS OF THE SCHOOLS

The school board will meet to-
night in regular session and with
have a great deal of business to tran

Among the most important mat
tiers to consider outside the election
of a superintendent of the schools.
is the eligibility of Trustee Will T.
Byrd who was clerk of the county
tax book supervisors at the time he
qualified as a member of the school
board. The question of his holding
the two Offices was brought up and
difference of opinion expressed.
The board will have to definitely de-
termine tonight If he is eligible. The
committee, II is understood, will
make no recommendation.
Another matter will be the receiv-
ing of Mckinley school. There was
defect in the plastering and the re-
ceiving of the school by the board
was held open until the defects were
repaired. 1t was alleged that the
plasterers did not put in the kind of
plastering specified in the contract.
The matter was referred TO a com.
mittee and the final report for def
mite action will be brought in to-
night.
The census enumerators Will be

BENCH WARRANT
Charging Hermann Matthews With
False Swearing.

Hermann Matthews. colored, was
arrested this morning by Deputy
Sheriff Gus Rogers on a bench war
rant charging false swearing.
Matthews was arralgned in police
court last June on the charge of a
breach of the peace. He was al
legged to have gone to a woman's
house near 10th and Husbands
streets broken out windows with
bricks and causing a panic among
the inmates. He swore in police
court that he was not guilty and
tried TO prove an alibi by showing
he stayed at his grandmother
house that night.
The grandmother swore that
Matthews was not at her house on
the night in question. This led to
Matthews being indicted by the
grand jury and he was arrested this
morning in Paducah after he had
been absent for several months.

AN EMPTY DREAM.

Last night Mayor Yeiser reported
a plan of burning coal in such way
as to furnish gas as power to run
the city light plant, and by using gas
instead of steam, reduce the cost OF
arc lights to the city to $3.50. The
mayor did not say that this could be
done, or that he believed II could be
done. but evidently he desired his
hearers to think it could be done. lie
did not once attempt to explain how
preposterous such a scheme is. For
instance, the actual cost of operating
the light plant last year. as shown
by the auditors report, was WV
s6s. The city used 165 lights. This
made the actual cost of the lights
s64 and a fraction. The cost to the
CITY of coal for last year was sl6Sl.
The cost for coal of each of the leo
lights was consequently 5000. III
Won take this 5000 spent for coal
for each light, from the average cost
of the lights for the year. Spf' II
leaves the cost $5i. in round num-
hers. which represents what the
lights would have cost il the city
hadn't paid cent for coal. Ia other
words. if the city had been able TO
operate its plant without dollar
worth of fuel, it still would have
saved but $40 a light. and wouid
have made the average cost per
light s54, for the moonlight sched-
uie." The light company proposed 10
furnish this same light for soz' fe'
the mayor apparently wishes people
to believe that by saving part OF the
coal the city can get the cost Oh
lights down to $3.50. when by saw
ing all of it the reduction last year
would not have brought the cost OF
lights under Mayor Yeiser's own au-
ministration, below s54.

Germs, to have the slightest effect on
them. That's right. When the
members of Paducah's legislative
boards become so they can't look af-
ter the. city's business without being
dictated to. they will doubtless be
ready to resign. II their judgment
isn't good they ought not have beer
put there. If their judgment and
acts do not suit the people, they
ought not be put back. They are
willing. IL is understood, to stand on

don't propose to allow the gang to
dictate to them.

THE TRICK DIDN'T WORK.

The ruse failed. The gangs bluff
didn't work worth a cent. The coun-
ell didn't wilt. And il is well.
There was no occasion for any PEE
titiOn, any mass meeting, or any
thing else over the lighting propo.
sition last night. No contract could
possibly have been let last night, or
even have been considered. There
was no action that the council could
take except to pass an ordinance au-
thorizing the city, while the ordi.
nance was in force, to either furnish
its own lights or award private con-
tract for them. Even If this ordi-
nance had been passed it would have
amounted to nothing, as il would
have had to be passed once again by
the council and twice by the board
of aldermen, then go to the mayor.
who, after keeping 1t the maximum
number of days would doubtless have
vetoed it, as he vetoed the sanitary
sewerage and other such ordinances
when republican boards were in Of
flee several years ago.
After the mayor had vetoed the
ordinance, it would have to be pass
cd again over his veto, and after this
Formally. which would require at
least several weeks to complete, the
proposition from the light company
might come up. Then If anyone de-
sired to be- heard on it. il would be
time enough to ask to be heard.
There was no occasion for a hearing
last night, and a great many of those
who professed to want TO be heard
probably knew it,
One of 1.-THE gang" said yesterday
when told that the light question
would not come up last night, "We're
going up and raise h anyhow"
That expressed the situation in a
nutshell Some of those opposed to
the light proposition are in good
faith. Others are not. They have
not given the question any serious
thought, and do not understand it,.
Some have a grudge against some
body or something, and that's why
many oppose the light contract. 9th
ers are not tax payers. Others are
taxpayers but would much rather
pay twice the amount of taxes and
see the present boards ''in hot wa
ter" and help "raise h with 'em, !"
quoted from an expression above,
than to have an economical, business
like city administration under repub-
lican boards. These men belong to
the gang, and they are largely the
ones who have agitated the light
question and misled large number
of people about II.
Another thing, a few hundred peo-
pie, or a petition containing a few
hundred names, do not represent the
people of Paducah There are 90
600 or more people here, and 1000
or more voters. A legislative board
must think of those not present ana
not on a petition, as well as those
who are. The members of the boards
must do what they think is best for
the people in general.
We believe that the present boards

REDUCTION IN THE TAX RATE

REDUCTION IN THE TAN Raj r.
The council has taken the hrst
step towards reducing the tax rate
in Paducah. The ordinance passed
last night fixes it at s1.60. This is a
reduction of 25 cents on the 800.
II means a big saving for the tax
payers. 1t was hoped to make the tax
rate even lower, probably sl.5o'but
this will be impossible, for there are
a number of things that should have
been done by the old boards last
year or the year before that were
not. and they have to be done now 10
give the people the service and peh-
efits they are entitled to.
The remains of the former admin
istration, as everyone knows, has
tried every way in its power to pile
more expenses on the new boards and
make the cost of running the city as
heavy as possible. and yet the tax
rate will be about $1.60 this year, II
indications count. where 1t was
$1.S5 last year.
The taxpayers. while they may be
somewhat disappointed because the
rate is not $50, what it was hopeu
II would be. will doubtless be more
than glad to learn of a sl.os taN
rate.

The council ordered all supplies,
such as coal and feed for the cfty's
horses, to be weighed on the city
scales. This is a good move. and
will insure the city's getting Its
moneys worth. The members of the
finance committee will attend to the
Hills when they are presented, and
look after that end of il.

The Suns railroad map, showing
the position of various railroads COM
pleted or projected in this section.
has attracted a great deal of atten-
ton, and the announcement that the
Gilbertsville-M ayfield cutoff" was
to be built within the next two years
was news to many people. The Sun
has known that this road was to be
built, however, for year or more.
1t will have no effect on the business
of Paducah, and is an absolute neces-
sity to the railroad in meeting the
competition which becomes greater
every year necessltating shorter
lines and better time for all depart
ments of the road. The indications
are that Paducah will get one or
more new railroads. though, between
now and the time this long talked
of "cut-off" is started or completed.
