pAnrcAH,s SCHOOLS.

The fourth year in the high school
has been discontinued by the Lex

accoifit Of The padcity Of srhooi

about half the assessed valuation
that Lexington has, we have only re-
Gently added another grade. Yet
it has long been thought that Lex
ington bears the same relation TO
Kentucky that Boston imagines she
does to the rest of the universe.
We believe that Paducah's super
intendent and board Of education de
serve a great deal Of credit for what
they have accomplished, especially
as it has been accomplished under
very adverse conditions. Owens
boro is also Dragging about what its
board has done, but its board has
not accomplished as much in fifteen
years as Paducah's has in five. We
have not only built two new schools
one at a cost of $4,000, but have
also increased the size of others.
equipped them with modern con-
veniences and added everything that
we possibly could. But greater
still is the improvement in teachers
and in the results, attained The
standard of teachers is far above
what ii was a few years ago, and is
gradually improving. New studies
have been added, and others may
be provided as soon as the money
can be obtained.
A great deal of the credit for all
this is due to Superintendent c. NJ.
Lieb, as well as to the progressive
school board we now have and have
had for the past year or two. Poll
tics has been eliminated, and the
custom of filling the schools with
friends and relatives of board mem
bers, simply because they happened
to be friends and relatives. and not
because they were competent teach
ers, has disappeared entirely, and il
is safe to predict that it will never
again prevail in the Paducah schools
It is regretted that Padueah
hasn't more money to devote to
school purposes. As seen from the
report of superintendent Lieb to the
board of education last night, a new
school is needed in the northern
part of the city. and the average il
now about fOrty-one pupils to the
teacher, which is considered toe
large. as few, teachers can success
fully handle this many pupils.
The schools now deserve every
dollar they get. and need more
None of the money is wasted. II
is all judiciously applied TO the pur-
poses for which 1t is intended, and
every dollar is we'll spent.

Usually It is March LIST or later
before the recapitulation of the
county assessment for this county
is completed. The people are be-
ginning to wonder why this is. The
supervisors in every county begin
on the first Monday in January, and
many of them are already through.
Those in Paducah are not, and after
they finish it usually requires from
two to four weeks to prepare the
.recapitulation." Henderson coun-
ty has already finished the work,
and the recapitulation shows prop
erty assessed at s11, 511,351. This
is about the same amount that Nc

BODY WAS SEEN DECEMBER ID

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. Mr..
T. b. Yeargfn, a private detective, is
trying to find the person who muir
dered Mrs. Rosa Mangrum, about
whose death there has been hung a
veil of mystery for the past several
weeks. He has made the assertion
that he is i'm possession of clues
which have enabled him to deter
mine who the party is. and If re-
ward of 5000 or more is offered he
will go after the person and bring
him back to this city within thirty
six hours.
Just what information he has on
the subject Mr.. Yeargin has not d.
vulged, and also he has not named
the person. but seems to be of the
opinion that the person who perpe-
trated the deed is a long distance
from this city. but safe enough, as
he is so closely watched that il is
impossible, for him to evade the
clutches of the law. He has not
said whether he thought the deed
was committed here or elsewhere,
or whether the person who did II
lived in this city or not.
Mrs. Logan Trousdale, sister of
Mrs. Mangrum, who has been un-
ceasingly active in prosecuting the
investigation into the manner of her
sisters death and toward locating

Yeargin had stated that If a reward
was offered he would get the right
party. and she replied If he would
land the murderer of her sister he
could get the reward of $500.
Apparently this puts the matter
up to Mr.. Yeargin. who had made
the offer and has been taken up
What will be done remains to be

Mrs. Mangrum had been missing
for about nine days, and that time
would have been sufficient for the
body to rise in the water. The
river was high at the time. and the
ferryman thought the body wa

THE anthracite operators declare that
If they should grant the demands of the
miners for 10 per cent. increase in
wages, and for the establishment of an
eight-hour day, this would necessarily
increase the price of coal $l.2O ton. 1t
is altogether probable that this state
ment is correct. The settlement of the
last controversy between the anthracite
operators and the miners resulted in an
advance in the price of coal paid by the
consumers. Both the operators and the
miners have profted by the settlement
which they then made. The burden has
been thrown entirely upon the consum-
or. Such would inevitably be the out
come of another settlement between the
operators and the miners on the basis of
increased wages. The operators would
not suffer from such a settlement. They
would simply shift the burden upon the
consumers.

THOSE who pretend to be doubtful of

THOSE who pretend to be doubtful OF
the merits of vaccination for the small
pox will do we'll to consider what DR..
Schamburg, physician of note, said a
few days ago in lecture at the medical
laboratory of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. He said that the statistics show
that 10000 lives have been lost through
this great plague during the past few
years in this country, large percentage
OF which might have been saved by the
use of vaccine. In the year 1893 hun
dreds Of thousands of persons fell before
this disease in Russia and Austria, where
vaccination was little used, while in Ger
many about 200 only died of smallpox.
This small number was due to the ex-
cellent manner in which the laws in re-
gard to vaccination were enforced. These
facts are perfectly we'll known to the
medical world and yet there are some
physicians, as we'll as less enlightened
laymen, who wholly ignore the teachings
of science and the existence of we'll au-
thenticated facts.
